Title: You Can Leave Your Hat on Author: Deanndra Hall Genre: Cozy Mystery/Murder Mystery Release Date: February 17, 2025 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Another vision. Another crime. And the millions behind it.

Reluctant and (unfortunately) well-known psychic Maisey Friedman is in dire need of a break—a little rest and relaxation. Going on a girls’ trips for the weekend will help her decompress and forget all the turmoil she’s been embroiled in. After all, fancy dresses, Derby hats, and mint juleps with her friends can cure the blues.

But when she mistakenly places the wrong flowy hat on her head, Maisey regrets all of her weekend frivolity. Seeing a middle school teacher being thrown from a bridge to her death catapults Maisey and her husband, Aaron, into yet another murder investigation. This time, the key players just might be a little too powerful for Maisey and Aaron. A well-connected and corrupt murderer is one enemy the Friedmans don’t want to tangle with. Can they find justice for the innocent teacher before time runs out?

The next instant, she was lying on the pavement, staring up at the sky, with Cherilyn on one side of her and Carly on the other. “Maisey? Maisey! Are you okay? Hey, Maisey, honey, are you all right?” Carly was yelling, as though Maisey were deaf.

“You don’t have to scream. I can hear you,” Maisey whispered, groggy. She lay there for a minute before she managed to say, “Oh, no.”

“Oh no what? Are you sick and didn’t tell us?” Cherilyn barked.

“No. It’s happening again.” How, she wasn’t sure, but it was.

“What’s happening?” Carly asked.

“I saw … somebody. And something. But I don’t understand. I bought this hat new. It shouldn’t …” When she’d struggled to sitting, she picked up the hat, and her heart fell into her shoes. “Oh, shit.”

“What?” Cherilyn demanded.

“This isn’t my hat. I picked up somebody else’s hat. It’s not mine. See? It’s got a really, really narrow ribbon for a band. Mine had a wide grosgrain ribbon. Shit, shit, shit. This is somebody else’s hat, and somebody died while they were wearing it.”

Carly planted her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

“I wish I were.” Maisey struggled to stand, so Cherilyn and Carly helped her.

Title: Guarded From Danger Author: Gia Cobie Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: January 14, 2025 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

I wrote romance stories. But I never expected to be living in one.

At least, it started out that way. In the kind of meet-cute I’d put in my own books, I met Xavier by the romance section in a bookstore. Within the first five minutes, I knew he was someone I wanted to see again. And in some stroke of luck, he felt the same way, asking me out on a date before he left. For the next few months after that, everything was perfect. An amazing boyfriend—handsome, sweet, not just former Special Forces, but worked for an elite security company—who treated me like gold. It was just like all the stories I created in my head, but this time, it was real. Until the worst night of my life. When I was taken. Held captive. And the fate I faced was worse than anything I could have written. My romance story turned into a nightmare. My only hope? Xavier. I know he’s looking for me. My only hope is he finds me before it’s too late. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the one. After years of avoiding relationships, of insisting I was happier being single, she stole my heart with a smile. Lucy’s smile is like the sun. Warm. Bright. Happy. It thaws the cold parts of me and makes me think anything is possible. A home filled with love. A wife. And maybe one day, even a family. I would do anything for her. Then she’s taken, I discover what that really means. With the help of my team at Blade and Arrow Security, we track her down. Free Lucy from her terrible captivity. But she’s hurt. Traumatized. And still in danger. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man. Not me. Not for the first woman I’ve seen a future with. And I’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Guarded from Danger has a protective alpha hero, a strong and sweet heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!)

I’ve had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I’m a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it’s only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I’ve spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn’t mean I’m pigeon-holed into one mold.  I’ve been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, “Life’s too short to ignore the opportunities.”   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!

I spent years living in fear because of my own mistake. Living in self-imposed isolation, I suffered through years of guilt and fear and anxiety. But I couldn’t keep hiding indefinitely. So I moved to Sleepy Hollow to be closer to my best friend and her family. Despite my worries, it was better than I’d hoped. I found a cute little house. Friends. A job I loved. And I met Grant. We’re just friends—I have too much baggage for more—but seeing him is my favorite part of the week. But when my ordinary job turns into a nightmare, Grant’s the one I want to protect me. And it’s only when I’m in his arms that I feel safe. Neither of us were looking for a relationship. It seemed better that way. Safer. Even if Scarlett was the kindest and most beautiful woman I’d ever met. Deep down, I think I always knew I wanted more. But I thought we’d have time to ease into it. Then Scarlett’s attacked while defending her patient, and everything is thrown into stark clarity. Why am I ignoring what my heart is telling me? Am I going to let the ghosts of my past determine my future? When it turns out the attack wasn’t random, that Scarlett was targeted and she’s still in danger, I’ll use everything I learned as a SEALto protect her. I’m not willing to lose the first woman I’ve seen a forever with.

Title: Heartbreak Hill Author: Heidi McLaughlin Genre: Contemporary Romance / Women’s Fiction Release Date: October 1, 2024 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

From the author of Before I’m Gone comes an intensely affecting romance about love, loss, and second chances, sure to elicit a good ugly cry.

Grayson Caballero sees the glass half-empty. Born with a life-threatening heart defect, he’s been living on borrowed time. The uncertainty of tomorrow makes him push people away, helping Grayson to avoid any real commitment.

Then he meets Reid Sullivan and falls madly in love. The two work together at the Wold Collective, Grayson as a project manager and Reid in HR. They even live in the same apartment complex. But Grayson continues to keep his distance, despite their obvious attraction. And Reid’s not interested in waiting around.

When Grayson collapses at a basketball game, Reid learns he’s been keeping secrets from her. Now his life hangs in the balance…and a stranger from Boston holds the key to his survival.

Nadia Karlsson makes a life-changing decision after her husband, Rafe, is involved in a tragic accident near Harvard Square. Her choice will unwittingly alter the course of Grayson’s future—and tie his fate unexpectedly to her own.

“Are you going to win?” She placed her hands on his cheek and scratched her nails against his scruff.

“No,” he told her, despite wanting to. He figured if he won, she’d be over-the-moon happy for him. And if he didn’t, she’d still be proud, and he wouldn’t have let her down. “There are way better runners than me.”

“Next year,” she said. “You can practice more better.”

Rafe didn’t bother correcting her, even though he knew he should. He pulled his youngest closer and held her to his chest, kissed her forehead, and then moved her to his hip. He’d carry her as long as she’d let him.

Rafe couldn’t have scripted his morning any better.

Title: Guarded from Corruption (Police and Fire: Operation Alpha) (Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team Book 1) Author: Gia Cobie Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: September 10, 2024 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

I never thought it could happen to me.

My life was ordinary. Predictable. And as my best friend always reminded me, much too solitary.

Still, I couldn’t complain. I had a job I enjoyed. A place of my own. Hobbies. Most days, I thought I was happy.

Until the night I was taken. Drugged. Held captive and subjected to tests and exams in a strange and terrifying facility. From what I heard, it was only going to get worse, and escape seemed an impossibility.

But they didn’t know just how determined I was. They never considered I could outsmart them.

Against all odds, I escaped. The only problem? I’m still in danger, and I don’t know who I can trust to help me.

Except for one person.

Niall. My best friend’s brother. A man I like more than I should. And the man who has every reason to hate me.

I moved to Texas for a new beginning.

A new job. A new team. After three years out of the Army, I finally had a purpose again.

Then I got the call that brought my past right back to the present.

She was the last person I expected to hear from. Not after the harsh words we exchanged; words I still regret years later.

But when she asked for my help, there was never a question of going to her. And after hearing her story, I didn’t hesitate to offer my protection.

How could I not? She’s not just my little sister’s best friend—Jade’s held a piece of my heart since I met her.

Maybe I’m not the right man to be with her. But I’m the right man to protect her. And I’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Guarded from Corruption is the first book in the Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team series. It has a protective alpha hero, a strong and smart heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (And expect some cameos from the original Blade and Arrow team!)

I want to believe him. But it’s so hard. Niall takes my hands in his, engulfing my chilled fingers in his warmth. “I’ve felt terrible about that day, Jade. I know I hurt you. And I am so damn sorry. But it was not your fault. I don’t blame you. For any of it. Not for a second.” Hope kindles, stutters, fights to stay aflame. “Do you mean it?” “Yes.” He stares at me with an intensity that makes my chest squeeze. “I absolutely mean it. And I will always regret hurting you. But I won’t hurt you again. I promise. And you have nothing to feel guilty about.” My hands tighten around his. “It wasn’t your fault, either. I’m sorry I said that. I never meant it.” “Ah, hun.” He swallows hard. “I know you didn’t.” We stare at each other for a frozen moment as some of the pain slips away. Then Niall looks at me very solemnly, and says, “Can I hug you? Would that be okay?” It would be more than okay. It’s all I want. But I don’t say that. I just nod, my throat too tight to speak. Niall exhales. Then he wraps his arms around me. Hugs me to his broad chest. One big hand cups my nape, the other moves in slow strokes up and down my back. He rests his cheek on my head, his breath feathering across my hair. As I snuggle into his embrace, my heart fills. His lips press to my head, and my breath catches. Somehow, I know this hug is different.

Title: A Dangerous Man (Appalachian Star, #8) Author: Deanndra Hall Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: September 10, 2024 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

She’s headstrong and independent. He’s determined and dangerous. Is their love a disaster … or their salvation?

Bear

Relentless.

I’m a murderer, and I own that. I’ve paid my debt to society, but what I did is a stain on my soul that will leave me forever unworthy of anything good. So I’m surprised when a couple of nights with FBI Agent Sela Baldwin when she’s here at the farm guarding Natalie leaves me longing for more time with her. She’s stuck in rehab from her injuries and mad as a hornet, but my offer for her to live with me and explore our relationship is surprisingly well-received. We settle in, only to find that the cartel still has a mark on Sela and Natalie, and it’ll take all of my friends from App STAR, Citadel Security, and the Eagle Point Search and Rescue teams to keep them safe—if Sela will just cooperate. I swear, that woman is her own worst enemy!

SELA

Relentless.

They might call him Bear, but he’s a wildcat in the sack. I think about those hands and that body constantly while I’m trapped in the rehab facility, planning my escape and furious that the bureau doesn’t think I can do my job. I don’t connect with people emotionally, but when I discover he’s been in an accident, I’m terrified. As soon as he asks me to move out to the farm with him, I realize being on the disabled list will give us time to maybe have an actual relationship. His openness and honesty give me hope, and I’m surprised at myself and how fast I start to trust him and care for him. There’s just one problem. The cartel is still after Natalie and me, and no matter what Bear says, I’ve never trusted a man to take care of me. Is my Dangerous Man dangerous enough to get the job done, or will I have to do it myself?

Come to the hills and hollers of eastern Kentucky and get acquainted with eight of the most determined men you’ll ever meet in the Appalachian STAR series.
