A Favor Owed Author:  Marisa Calcara Release Date: May 12, 2025 Publisher:  Entangled Publishing Genre: Romance/New Adult/Contemporary Add it to Goodreads To everyone else, I look like just another struggling law student. Out here in the dry, sleepy California town of Dos Torres, I’ve got a job serving tables, a cheap (some would describe it as “decrepit”) rental, and every day is a lesson in survival. No one would ever know that last year, I lived in a mansion in New York, everything I wore was high-end designer, and I had everything I could ever want. And the cost of it all? Knowing that my family—my own dad—committed unspeakable crimes for everything we had. I’m a former “mafia princess” with a debt to pay to society. No one in “the family” knows where I am or what I'm doing. And they can’t ever find out. Only now a complication has entered my already too-complicated life—and he’s tall, fit, and has a boy-next-door grin that invites trouble. He has no idea who he’s falling ...

Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for DAISY WHISPERS by Marie Johnston! Alder Duke was my high school sweetheart turned husband, then he became a stranger who wanted his freedom. I gave it to him. Fifteen years later, I'm a single mom who desperately needs a place to live. He's a powerful CEO who needs a wife in order to get the house he grew up in, thanks to a trust his grandma left behind. He makes a deal with me: get married to him—again—and live with him for a year. Once the house is in his name, we can divorce—again—and he'll rent the place to me. Just one year. No strings.

I can't fall for his sweet daisy whispers. I know how it ends. This time we plan...

Shields of Sparrows Author:  Devney Perry Release Date: May 6, 2025 Publisher:  Entangled Publishing Genre: Fantasy/Romance/Fiction Add it to Goodreads If you’re not terrified, you’re doing it wrong Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters upon the five kingdoms of Calandra to remind us that humans are insignificant—that we must pray to the gods for mercy throughout our fragile, fleeting lives. I didn’t need a deity to remind me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance—twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions. My sister revels in the spectacle, basking in the attention and flawlessly playing her part. I was never asked to be part of the charade. Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince walked into my father’s throne room and ruined my life. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty in blood, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm. That was ...

Scott Genre: Contemporary Romance Tropes: Single Dad, Brother’s Best Friend, Small Town Millionaire/Billionaire, Boots & Hats Cowboy Release Date: May 1, 2025 Sometimes the wait is worth the while. It didn’t take long for news to spread that Tagger Grange was back in Peachtree Pass. I found out even faster when I fell right into his arms—not by choice. The barstool wobbled under me when reaching for a cheddar biscuit. They’re my weakness. Much like he used to be. Rolled up sleeves and tailored pants have replaced the boots and jeans my brother’s best friend once wore. But it’s not just the clothes that have changed. His shoulders are broader and he’s broodier. Somehow, he's even more handsome than ever. And seeing the little boy smiling at his side? My heart instantly melts.
