This honeymoon’s been long overdue.

After years of war, Hurricane and I deserve this escape to Oahu, where we can celebrate everything we’ve built together. But when a pregnancy test changes everything, and morning sickness hits harder than turbulence, our romantic getaway becomes something so much more.

Find Me At The Disco
Diahanna Aurora Hampton
Publication date: January 8th 2026
Genres: Action, Romance

New York, 1977. Liza Collins is struggling to reconcile her relationship with her father, Will, after a lifetime of secrets and betrayal. Upon graduating from boarding school in London, Liza returns to her hometown of New York City seeking answers about her childhood that Will has largely left unanswered. Instead of answers, Liza unearths a series of illicit affairs, sham marriages, and financial troubles her father has tried to keep buried.

As Liza struggles with these findings and navigates adulthood, she meets Jennifer Blake-a woman who introduces her to a world of drugs, alcohol, and disco. In the midst of it all, Liza then discovers something about her family that she never could have imagined, clouding her judgment and sense of self. Consequently, Will is forced to either confess his mistakes or give up on his relationship with his daughter entirely.

EXCERPT:

Jennifer grabbed Liza’s arm. “Let’s go boogie!”

“I don’t know. It’s kind of crowded.”

Liza stood awkwardly, watching people bump into each other. “That’s the best though, people moving their bodies against you. No one cares if you can’t dance, you just move to the beat and have fun.”

Before Liza could respond, a different song came on, Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” making people cheer and dance faster than before.

“Oh my God! I love this song, come on!” Jennifer squealed.

Liza let Jennifer pull her onto the dance floor. At first, she wasn’t really dancing. She kept getting shoved and pushed as she stood in front of Jennifer, who automatically moved to the beat. She tried to mimic her friend’s movements, but she felt unsure of herself as she struggled to get the right rhythm. Jennifer must have noticed Liza’s efforts, as she turned Liza around and placed her hands on her hips to help guide her. The song’s beat got easier for Liza to follow as she heard Donna Summer’s voice hum from the speakers.

Liza relaxed as the alcohol coursed through her veins. She let her body move under Jennifer’s direction and stopped overthinking. Jennifer turned Liza back around to face her, moving their bodies closer. Jennifer reached into her pocket to show Liza a few pills in a small plastic bag. She still moved to the beat when she popped one in her mouth and then promptly kissed Liza, transfer-ring a piece of the pill from her tongue to Liza’s. When Jennifer pulled away, she smirked.

After a few moments, Liza threw her head back as she felt the drug take hold. She saw the disco ball spinning above her, and the multicolored lights flashing around the club. Her vision blurred, coming in and out of focus like a kaleidoscope. Jennifer was behind her again bumping and grinding, leaving no room between them. Liza’s heart rate sped up, and she felt sweat drip down her neck. It was hot on the dance floor. Although she was breathing heavily, she continued to dance, letting the beat take over her movements.

They danced for several more songs, each one faster than the last. Liza’s skin was slick from sweat.

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.

Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.

Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.

Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.

Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.

Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.

This story was sorrowful and emotional, tugging at our heartstrings and bringing tears to our eyes. Maddie and Atlas showed immense strength and love as they navigated the challenges of becoming parents to Grayce. Despite the curveball life threw at them, they always put Grayce's well-being first. The support from the Titan family was heartwarming, as they embraced Maddie and welcomed her into their fold. Atlas's patience and unwavering commitment to being a good parent, despite Maddie's past struggles and fears, were truly admirable. He was determined to give Grayce the love and stability he had yearned for as a child. This story beautifully portrays the themes of found family, second chances, healing, and the power of love and support. It was heartening to see Maddie and Atlas grow and create a loving family, despite the tragic circumstances that brought them together. The interactions between the characters, their overwhelming support, and the growth of Maddie and Atlas as individuals and as parents were truly touching. Ultimately, this story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love and family. Maddie and Atlas's journey is a beautiful reminder that even in the face of adversity, there is always hope for a brighter future.

Elliot

How is it possible to be surrounded by people who love me, yet I still feel alone? 

Everyone is falling in love, and it’s like I’ve been left on the outside. 

I want that for myself, but the thought of putting myself out there is terrifying.

Growing up being told you’re ‘too much’ puts a dent in your confidence, no matter how hard you try to hide it.

Until one day, Lieutenant Hunter Bowen finds me trapped in an elevator.

His kind words and gentle smile only heightens the crush I have on him, and when he asks me to join him one night, I push my fears aside and say yes.

I’m great at controlling the rebound on the ice, but when it comes to bruised hearts?

I guess we’ll find out. 


Hunter

When I became a widower seven years ago, my entire world was flipped upside down. 

I needed a fresh start, so I left the military and moved across the country, and vowed never to fall in love again. 

That was until I met Elliot Olsen.

The guy who has the brightest smile, the biggest heart, and a whole heap of unspoken emotions.

I try to keep my heart at a distance, but the fire burns too bright between us to ignore.

The only problem is I’ve been here before, and I don’t know if I can risk having my heart torn apart again.


Rebound Control is a sports romance featuring a hockey goaltender and a firefighter. It includes ADHD rep, a protective mc, late night ice cream drives and all the Thunder found family vibes. 

It is book five in the Chicago Thunder series and can be read as a standalone.

This is a new author for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first book by them. Elliot and Hunter have quickly become one of our favorite couples. Lieutenant Hunter Bowen, a former Navy SEAL now working for the Fire Department, and Elliot, a goalie for the Chicago Thunder hockey team, are the main characters in this beautiful love story. Their paths cross during a power outage, where Hunter's remarkable care and understanding towards Elliot mark a significant moment in their relationship. Their connection is beautifully portrayed as they discover a deep need for each other. Elliot is a character you can't help but fall in love with, and all his quirks make him even more lovable. Finding answers to the questions he had regarding those quirks must have been a relief to him, explaining why he felt the way he did sometimes in daily life. He was such a sweetheart of a character that we wanted to adopt him. Hunter's patience and acceptance of Elliot were beautiful. He was supportive, loving, and allowed Elliot to set the pace in their developing relationship. Privately, Elliot struggles with anxiety, panic attacks, and other issues that make him feel like he doesn't fitin. The chemistry between this couple was palpable, and we adored them together. Hunter finally opening his heart to love again, after closing himself off following the death of his husband, was heartwarming. Their love story unfolded so naturally. The entire cast of characters was awesome, loving, and supportive, unafraid to show their love for one another. After reading about them, we're eager to pick up their stories as well because they were all so interesting. The book evokes laughter and tears, capturing emotions with clarity. The presence of dogs and otters adds charm to the story.
