The Burnt is the third book in the Declan Hunt Mysteries series.

Finding work-life balance isn’t always easy when you’re sleeping with the boss. Charlie Watts is stressed as he studies for his private investigator’s license, starts taking on his own cases and navigates his relationship with Declan Hunt. He thinks he can handle it, but every time their relationship is going well, work always gets in the way.

While Charlie investigates a threatening note that appears to be from a boy who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago, Declan tries to find the meaning behind the final words of a man who was brutally murdered. As Declan and Charlie work to solve these mysteries, secrets from the past are exposed, Charlie is haunted by ghostly dreams and Declan is forced to confront some terrible truths from a hidden past.

Ultimately, the truth will be revealed, but at what cost? And will Declan and Charlie be able to solve the mystery of where they want to go next with their relationship before things at work take a terrible turn?

EXCERPT:

Declan was unsettled by the news his father had delivered.
Archie Whitcher is dead.
He’d never thought he’d see the day when that man would pay for what he’d done to his
son. But Archie’s last message… Who the hell is Milo? And why did Archie want me to know
about him?
Maybe Declan could find something in his notes from the last time he’d encountered
Archie Whitcher—notes he hadn’t looked at for a number of years.
Declan opened the large cupboard in his office that contained the safe. Inside,
underneath various boxes and binders, was a file folder labelled Freddy. He placed it on his
desk, poured himself a scotch, then sat down and opened the file. Declan looked over the
photocopies of the pages of his old police notebook.
While Declan and Gary Sawchuck had been the ones who had discovered and dealt with
the identification of Freddy’s body, the investigation had been turned over to a Sergeant
McKeckran. Declan had encountered the homophobic asshole again just last year. McKeckran
had tried to close the file on the Ian Mann case because he was sure the victim was gay. Years
before, he had swept the Freddy Whitcher death under the same carpet. Declan knew the case
had never been adequately investigated.
The rage returned.
There was nothing of value to be found in the notes other than stirring up a painful
memory. Declan placed a quick call to Gary Sawchuck. A gruff voice answered on the other end.
“Yeah.”
“Gary, it’s Declan. I got your message. Are you still on the scene?”
“Forensics is wrapping up for the day. We’ll be back tomorrow, but the body’s gone and
we’ve been through the preliminaries. I’ll keep you posted if there’s anything else that pertains to
you. You got any idea what Archie was talking about when he used your name before he died?”
“Nope,” Declan replied. “All right, Gary. Thanks. Keep in touch.”
Declan disconnected. He wasn’t going to get any sleep tonight unless… He knew what
he needed to do next.

https://getbook.at/Twister

Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m expected to join the family accounting business even though I hate everything to do with finance.

What’s not expected? Getting stuck in a small town on my way home after a tornado nearly destroys my Jeep, or the lonely single dad and his adorable pre-teen daughter who offer their spare room for my stay.

Sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to the best life decisions.

Marshall

I’ve put off going home after graduating as long as I can, but there’s no excuses left. My cubicle-filled future is here whether I like it or not.

Until I drive into a huge, terrifying tornado, that is.

Now I’m stuck in a small town while I wait for my Jeep to get fixed. Thankfully, the adorable young girl who survived the twister with me talks her dad into offering me one of their spare rooms, so I don’t have to waste money at the local motel or contend with the gossipy motel owner.

Maybe I should’ve declined the offer, but there’s something about her dad that makes me think he’s desperate for another adult to talk to.

I’m only in town for the week, but that’ll be plenty of time to give him a reprieve from his hectic, but lonely, life. If only he didn’t turn out to be everything I was looking for….

Daniel

My pre-teen daughter is convinced that I’m sad and lonely, and that my life would be infinitely better with someone to share it with. Even if that was something I wanted to explore, my farm takes up too much time and energy to consider a night out.

Meeting someone new isn’t on my radar at all, until a gorgeous guy literally falls at my feet in his effort to escape the small twister that sideswipes the local gas station.

Less than an hour later, my daughter invites him to stay with us while he’s stuck in town.

Maybe I should’ve said no, but there’s something about him that makes me want to help and protect him.

I’ll admit that I find myself wildly attracted to him. If only he wasn’t so much younger than me….

Twister is a standalone story featuring an overworked farmer who loves his daughter even when she’s trying to set him up with young strangers, a recent college graduate who doesn’t love the idea of spending the rest of his life stuck in a cubicle, and a love story that blossoms in a small town with some very colorful residents.

about the author:

Kayla is a budding new Australian author who feels incredibly lost when needing to talk about herself (especially in the third person), preferring to let her stories speak for her. When she's not writing, she can usually be found on the couch wrapped in a blanket burrito, with her head in a book. That type of existence suits her introverted heart well, much to the chagrin of her extroverted relatives.
She freely admits that she doesn't know what the heck she'd doing, but she hopes she's at least learning as she goes. She's thankful that you've looked her Amazon bio up, and hopes that you'll give her stories a chance (and will hopefully enjoy them).

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.

He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.

Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.

I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.

I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.

Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.

That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up.

I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.

But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.

Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.

He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.

We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.

Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.

I was falling in love with him.

Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.

And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.

  Have you ever wanted someone so intensely it felt like fire under your skin? Yeah. Me neither. Not until Gabriel Santos. He walked into the wreckage of my life like he’d always belonged there—calm, controlled, and devastatingly beautiful. I was a storm. He was stillness. And when I shattered right in front of him, he didn’t flinch. He looked at me like I was a masterpiece. Like I already belonged to him. That was all it took. One spark. One glance. One moment I couldn’t stop reliving. I should’ve run. I should’ve left him behind. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. Instead, I kidnapped the heir to the Santos cartel. And now? Now, the real chaos begins.

COVER REVEAL - Sweet Poison by Rachel Van Dyken

 

SWEET POISON

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: October 20

Will be Available in Kindle Unlimited

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭…

His breath hit my neck, lips brushing skin.

"𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘵?”

All it took was one phrase—“𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦?”—and I was already losing.

To the enemy.

To a Tinder date gone violently wrong.

To the Syndicate’s most dangerous heir.

It was supposed to be my last middle finger to the establishment before they sacrificed me on the family altar of arranged marriage. So I took control. I made the rules. I chose the husband.

Louis De Lange.

The twin who should’ve died.

The traitor.

The man who lost my sister—his so-called true love.

 He said he had nothing left. So I made him my weapon.

But the problem with controlling a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

You never see the fangs until they’re already at your throat.

The plan was simple. The timeline set. Sixty days to infiltrate, manipulate, and survive.

But I wasn’t banking on Louis being more than broken—I wasn’t ready for how dangerous he could be when he finally decides he’s done bleeding for everyone else but himself.

I was playing to win.

He was playing to lose.

And we were both about to learn…

The sweeter the poison the more bitter the fight. 

To the end. Love. Hell. Or destruction. Let the games begin.

REVIEW TOUR - Denim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 

Title: Denim & Diamonds

Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 27, 2025

BLURB

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:

1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.

2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.

3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.

4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.

He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.

And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.

I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.

He was denim. I was diamonds.

The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.

A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.

Go big or go home.

I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

ALTERNATIVE COVER PAPERBACK

Denim & Diamonds is a wonderful small town story with a swoony man in Brock and a quirky woman in February!

This book left me with a huge smile on my face and tears in my eyes!

It was beautiful! 

The dynamic duo Ms Ward and Ms Keeland have created the kind of characters you want to meet in real life! I felt at home, I just felt! 

This is one of those stories that will stay in your heart. Its a lumberjack meets a city girl story where small town charm and sizzling tension reigns. I loved Brocks family, they were a hoot and I especially loved how it ended. 

Audio/ Review:
Denim & Diamonds is a heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) story about Brock Hawkins and February Shaw, set in the charming town of Meadowbrook.
I was hooked from the start. 
Brock and February stole my heart completely.
This story is written beautifully Brock and February live a life that’s completely different from each other could they share a life together or is that much to difficult! 

Teddy Hamilton and Andi Arndt were perfect in their narration—capturing all the love, passion, humor, and drama perfectly. A thoroughly captivating small-town romance!
