Some loves are like the stars, brilliant for a time, but doomed to burn out in the end.

London Voss was the girl who couldn’t wait to get out of town, and that’s exactly what she did. At 18, she left behind her small-town coastal life, her overprotective family, and the boy who loved her too much to stand in the way of her dreams. But seven years later, her big city plans of dancing for The New York City Ballet have fallen apart, and having exhausted all other options, she’s forced to return home.

Wren Cove has changed a lot in her absence. The people. The places. And most notably, Penn Kade. The reckless boy she left behind is now the responsible, stone-faced man running his late father’s fishing company. He’s reliable, successful, and even more handsome than she remembered.

He’s also not exactly thrilled to see her again.

When London takes a temp job as his company’s bookkeeper to make ends meet, she and Penn are forced to put aside their differences and try to work together. But some things are simply easier said than done. Especially when old feelings start to resurface…

The Distance Between Stars is a standalone, small town, second chance romance.

Chase was never part of my plan. 

A windstorm is hitting when I find Chase on the hotel rooftop.

He’s young. Wild. Impulsive. Standing at the edge of twenty stories, until I grab his arm.

And then I realize he doesn’t recognize who I am.

Starring in a wickedly popular TV show just upended my life, thrusting me into fame.

But when Chase looks at me, he sees me. Not just the hot new actor. And he's in pain.

He's straight, but he wants to try something with me... and I cross a line I swear I never would again.

A twisted, toxic obsession ignites the monsters inside both of us. We need to quit this.

But he can’t keep his hands off of me. And I don’t want him to stop.

Logan is everything I’m not. 

He’s perfect. Golden-haired. Looks like a model, and then I find out he’s a star on TV.

I’m pure chaos, wrapped in a red-flag bow with a sprinkling of ADHD and touch fixation.

I admit my hands are needy, but he's starved for touch, too.

I don't do this with men, but I'm fixated on Logan. He's mysterious. Intriguing.

Our lives couldn’t be more different. He has fame, I have a hotel bartending gig.

But my art is my world. I paint in neon, I take vivid photos, and want to capture this, too.

But there’s something sad behind Logan’s eyes, even in the photos I take.

Sometimes I think I barely know him…

But when we’re together, he feels like he’s mine. And I'm starting to believe it.

Chase is a standalone MM romance about two guys who don’t make any sense together, but they're pulled to each other in a magnetic, obsessive, all-consuming love story.

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 fiancée, 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.
