New Release for THIS BEAUTIFUL LIE by Taylor Sullivan



THIS BEAUTIFUL LIE

Taylor Sullivan

Release Date: June 11 

Meet Taylor Sullivan:

Taylor is the proud mom of three (not-so-young-anymore) kids she loves more than life. She spends her days juggling their endless activities, hoping she looks presentable enough to be out in public, while writing stories inspired by the strangers she meets in her daily life. Maybe she's a little crazy, or maybe she just misses the Barbie games she played with her sister when they were young—but that's where her stories are born. It’s where they blossom and grow, and eventually breathe life onto the pages of her books.

Taylor is drawn to the complexity and flaws of people. She believes that a life well lived is full of mistakes and that beauty is always found in imperfection. And yes, she believes in happy endings. She’s been married to the love of her life for 21 years after kissing way too many frogs.

Blurb:

Welcome to the Suspicious Hearts series—where every story stands on its own, but the connections run deeper than you think. Each book follows a different couple with a complete, happily-ever-after.

Some secrets don’t stay buried.

They wait—quiet and patient—for the exact moment they can ruin you.

I learned a long time ago that surviving means keeping my heart locked down. No expectations. No hope. No love that asks me to trust like it won’t disappear. Because love doesn’t just leave scars—it takes pieces of you that never heal quite right.

Dean Weston intrigues me.

He’s successful. Steady. The kind of man who shows up without being asked.

Which is why, when he asks me to pretend to be his fiancรฉe, I know right away it’s a terrible idea.

One week at a business retreat.

One carefully crafted love story.

One lie meant to protect us both.

The rules are simple.

Play the perfect couple.

Convince everyone we’re in love.

Walk away without getting hurt.

Only Dean doesn’t fake affection—he offers it easily. Gentle touches that linger longer than they should. Soft smiles meant just for me, like we share something no one else can see. Late-night conversations that stretch past midnight, where he listens in a way that makes me forget I ever learned how to be guarded. He makes me feel safe without promising anything at all, and somewhere along the way, the pretending turns into this beautiful lie I’m terrified to lose. I stop bracing for the fall I know is coming.

Because the truth always surfaces.

Lies unravel, no matter how carefully they’re told.

And some secrets don’t just hurt you.

They break you.

Release Tour for Undercover Lover by Jacqueline Francis

Title: Undercover Lover
Author: Jacqueline Francis
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Fake Dating; Forced Proximity; Billionaires/Millionaires Romance; Law Enforcement/Action Romance; Reverse Grumpy x Sunshine; Opposites Attract
Release Date: June 11, 2026






I didn’t join the force to play dress-up in designer heels and pretend to be someone’s girlfriend, but apparently life has a sense of humor. And mine comes with a six-foot-something ego, a movie-star smile, and a peculiar knack for getting under my skin.

Marco Dal Santo is everything I don’t trust: cocky, charming, reckless, and way too comfortable in a world built on smoke and mirrors. I’m supposed to use him to get close to people who hide crimes behind champagne and expensive suits. He’s supposed to be a means to an end. Convenient. Temporary. And fake.

The problem? It doesn’t really feel fake because every time he touches me, every time he pushes past my defenses and makes me feel something real, I forget that we’re supposed to be pretending.

One minute we’re trading sarcastic barbs and sharing one very inconvenient bed; the next I’m laughing at his terrible jokes and wondering how a man who looks at me with nothing but raw lust can possibly be faking it. Somewhere between the staged kisses and very real arguments, the lines get blurred, and I can’t tell what’s part of the job…and what isn’t.

Now we’re caught up in a world where one wrong move can get us killed, and I’m starting to realize the most dangerous part of this case isn’t the criminals we’re chasing.

It’s him.

Because if anyone finds out I’ve fallen for my informant, I’ll lose my badge, my mentor’s trust, and possibly my heart in the process.

So yeah…I’m in way over my head.
And the worst part?
I’m not sure I want to be rescued.





Number cruncher by day, raging romance novelist by night; Jacqueline’s creative inspiration stems from romance and all its literary and rom-com depictions. Matters of the heart are what fascinates her, because ultimately, what makes a life out of - what would ordinarily be a typical existence - is Love

Blurb:

He hired a fake boyfriend for the weekend.
The man who showed up wasn’t the escort.

Sawyer Montgomery spends his nights broadcasting heartbreak on his prime-time radio show—spinning sad songs, giving terrible love advice, and pretending he’s totally over the ex who shattered his heart.

(Spoiler: he’s not.)

But when he needs a fake boyfriend to survive a weeklong family celebration with that very ex, hiring an escort seems like the perfect solution.

Simple. Efficient. No emotions required.

The only problem?

The man he mistakes for the escort… isn’t one.

Beckett Calder walks into the hotel lounge expecting to meet his blind date. Instead, he finds Sawyer—a romantic disaster who clearly thinks Beckett is the escort he hired.

Beckett should correct the misunderstanding.
He should walk away.

(Spoiler: he doesn’t.)

Because there’s something about Sawyer—maybe it’s the sarcasm, the bruised heart, or the way he looks like he could really use someone on his side—that makes Beckett say yes.

Now he’s pretending to be Sawyer’s devoted boyfriend.

For an entire week.

Which would be manageable…if the chemistry between them didn’t feel so dangerously real.

Because the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all an act.

And when the week ends, Beckett might be the one mistake Sawyer never wants to stop making.
