Sneak peak at the back of the book 📖 :

Sleeping with the staff wasn’t part of the plan.

Sensible, capable, and ruthlessly efficient, Hannah Kabbah is the perfect nanny... until a colossal mistake destroys her career and shatters her reputation. These days, no-one in town will hire her-except Nathaniel Davis, a brooding widower with a smile like sin and two kids he can’t handle.

Prim and proper Hannah is supposed to make Nate’s life easier, but the more time he spends around his live-in nanny, the more she makes things... hard. He can’t take advantage of her vulnerable position, but he can’t deny the truth, either: with every look, every smile, every midnight meeting, Nate’s untouchable employee is stealing his heart.

The trouble is, she doesn’t want to keep it. Forbidden love isn’t high on Hannah’s to-do list, and trust isn’t one of her strengths. When dark secrets threaten to destroy their bond, Nate’s forced to start playing dirty. Because this reformed bad boy will break every rule to finally claim his woman.

Please be aware: this book contains depictions of depression and anxiety that could trigger certain audiences.

Congrats on the release of THE CLAUS CONSPIRACY @tamaratamaralucy !🥳💕

Amber Winslow thought she’d left chaos behind when she traded bounty hunting for small-town life in Arizona. Between her job as a barista and recording a true-crime podcast with a lively group of retirees at Seven Ponds Retirement Community, life has finally settled into something resembling calm.

Until a battered, amnesiac teenager crashes into it-literally.

The girl knows only one thing for Amber’s voice from the podcast. Clutching a Post-it note with Amber’s address, she arrives with no memory of who she is... and a dead Santa Claus in her trunk.

Determined to uncover the truth, Amber and her sharp-witted octogenarian crew begin digging-and quickly discover this is no holiday mishap. Their search uncovers a trail of rogue Mall Santas, a dangerous drug operation, and secrets someone is willing to kill to protect.

As the bodies pile up and the past closes in, Amber must untangle a mystery that’s far bigger-and far more personal-than she ever imagined.

Lots of love for @tamaratamaralucy ‘s THE CLAUS CONSPIRACY to share!🥳

It’s beginning to look a lot like murder in this holly-jolly mystery from award-winning author Tamara Berry! 🎅❄️🔪

Six months into her new life in Arizona, former journalist-turned-Pl-turned-barista Amber Winslow is settling into a slower pace-podcasting with her grandma’s octogenarian friends at Seven Ponds Retirement Community. But her quiet days take a sharp turn when a battered, amnesiac teen crashes into her life-literally.

The girl, dubbed Mal, only knows Amber’s voice from the Death Comes Calling podcast and arrives with two a Post-It note containing Amber’s address and a dead Santa Claus in her trunk...

As the quirky retirement crew and Amber investigate, they uncover strange links between Mal, a string of rogue Mall Santas, and a Navy SEAL past that ties back to Amber’s Pl ex-boyfriend, Bones. The team races to find answers, navigating a tangled web of secrets involving suspicious Santas, deadly drugs, and one very personal bombshell that changes everything Amber thought she knew...

“Riotous romp of a mystery!” —New York Times bestselling author Leslie Meier for Murder Runs in the Family

Every pirate is out to find the booty!😛

FEAST YER EYES on the beautiful cover for Agatha Willow’s (@krisripper ) SWASHBUCKLE! 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈👑🔱💕

The perfect spicy sapphic romance for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Lex Croucher!

Captain Nina Leroux is having a terrible week.

- Her pirate ship has been repossessed (she’ll steal it back, though) 🏴‍☠️

- Her temporary crewmate, Aerwyn, is useless (but really hot). 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

- And she’s also on the run from another pirate. 🤭

Getting into a crewmates-with-benefits situation with Aerwyn seems like the perfect distraction from all the above. Nina doesn’t do feelings, so having a set endpoint to their relationship - when they drop Aerwyn off at her destination - seems perfect. But their agreement might leave Nina with more than she’d bargained attachment to someone who will inevitably leave. Aerwyn is mysterious as she is beautiful, and Nina finds herself falling for her, hook, line, and sinker.

Will Nina be able to keep her crew safe from swashbuckling marauders, and, just as importantly, keep her heart safe from Aerwyn?

A starred Booklist review for Katherine Daniel’s WHEN THE NIGHT COMES KNOCKING! Congrats, Katherine!🥳💕

Rattle, rattle in the dark... The mountain’s bones seek out a heart.

Jane has not spoken to her brother Thomas since the accident that nearly killed them both. Their drive from college through the North Georgia mountains is uncomfortably silent, until they stop at a roadside convenience store, where a man stumbles in with a mutilated body, claiming to have been attacked by a monster.

At first, no one believes the man’s ravings, but when the next person to leave the store is brutally killed, they fear that local legend might be true:

There’s a beast in these mountains who feasts on guilty hearts... and someone among them has lured it out of hiding.

Jane and Thomas each harbor secrets, but so do the other patrons, and as the monster claims more hearts, the survivors turn on each other, desperate to save themselves by uncovering the guiltiest among them.

If the siblings can’t overcome the rift between them, they’ll surely become the monster’s next victims...or worse, become monsters themselves.

Available Oct 20th.🖤

In case you missed this beautiful cover, feast your eyes on @emilyzipps next novel! AMELIA WAXLER REGRETS EVERYTHING is an open-hearted Sliding Doors-style romcom about second chances, roads not taken, and the love that might find us either way.

One fateful moment at a high school party splits Amelia’s life in two:

⏳In one timeline, she kisses her friend Grace and realizes she’s gay.
⏳In the other, she panics—and takes a very different path.

Twenty years later, both Amelias return to their hometown after their lives unravel…and both find themselves drawn back to Grace.

One choice. Two timelines. One true love.
Releasing from @thedialpress Feb 9, 2027. 💚💖

Congrats, Emily!🥳💕
