I’m the president of our club, making my father proud every day. I love my life of freedom, booze, girls, brothers, and family. Nothing else mattered to me. But then she walks into my world. She takes my breath away and she’s all I see. But she’s in danger and I’ll do anything to save her. Even take a life if I have too. Because she’s mine. And I protect what is mine.
Annalise
I haven’t had an easy start to life. But with help of the people who love me, I managed to get to where I want to be. I live for baking and had opened my own bakery. I didn’t want a relationship or the hassle of heartbreak I’d rather just settle. I didn’t count on him though or how he makes me feel. I fall for him without realizing. He’s all I want; all I think about. But then I’m in danger and I can’t let him get hurt because of me. I try to push him away, but it doesn’t work. Because he’s mine as much as I’m his.
Hello, my friends. It’s been a little while. The last book feature was in April, but the project hasn’t ended. I just finished a giveaway of three books over on my TikTok, and the donations that have been sent in are still being used to purchase books from small, independent, and self-published authors. That said, there are going to be some changes.

This was the other book that came out the week before last – and so they’ve both now been BotW picks. So that’s two new books in a row, two romances in a row – although this one is set in the past – and two books I’ve been looking forward to that haven’t let me down!

Sofia
I met him when I was eight years old. I thought he was my best friend. I thought he loved me, it is why I agreed to marry him. He was my everything. Until he was not. It was all a lie, an agreement between his family and mine. I cannot stay. I must save myself and our unborn child that he doesn’t know about from my fate. Leaving him was the only option. But what happens when he finds me again?
Damian
It was all an arrangement from when I was twelve. One I did not want. I had to woo her, make her fall for me. She was more than I realise. I fell for her without realising soon enough. I lost her. She left me on our wedding day. I hurt her, lied to her but I need her. I am trying to find her. But what do I do now that I have found her. She is not alone. I must fight for her, but she doesn’t trust me. I can’t let her go a second time. It is not just about us this time.
