There’s an unknown male at my back. Tall, if the way his chest connects with my shoulders is any indication. My skin prickles with the feeling of being touched. His hands are large and warm. It’s been seven months since I've had a man's hands on my body, and even then, it wasn’t memorable. The small human growing inside of me is the only link. 

The man turns on the faucet, pulling my hand under it, and I breathe out in relief as the cool water hits my burnt hand and the sting subsides. As does any lingering fear at being manhandled by a stranger right here in my kitchen. He led me to safety; it would be odd for him to now hurt me. Though I remain wary.

“Thank you… I—” I turn to see who’s helping me, wanting to offer my thanks, but I still. At a loss for words all over again.

Brown eyes, hidden by dark eyebrows, look at me from under a deep frown. He hasn’t moved, his body, strong and hard, leaning against my back as he ensures my hand remains under the cool water. My eyes widen and heart pounds harder as I realize exactly how close we are. 

He’s like Heaven answered all my questions. I've never seen a man like him before.

I’m finally living the life I want as a deputy sheriff in the small town of Appleton Falls. I gave up my job as a cop in the NYPD to search for the truth about a father I barely know, except finding him brought me no peace.

But I’m happy. Really. I’d love to fall in love, but it just hasn’t happened. Yet.

 

Then he shows up to join our force.

My old high school nemesis, Dominic Starr. The gorgeous loner and the bane of my existence.

As well as my secret fantasy.

Why did he leave the NYPD? Was he running from his powerful father? Or hiding from him?

 

It’s not like he wants to forgive and forget and be friends. At every turn he’s in my face, taunting and teasing me with that stupid nickname he loves and knows I hate.

Starr should be careful, because he’s got secrets only I know.

And one of them is mine as well.

But when the past we both want to leave behind crashes into our present—with deadly consequences—neither of us can hide what we’ve been running from all our lives: The future we both seek is in each other’s arms.

If we make it out alive.

Magic. Murder. And a friends-to-lovers romance that burns hotter than a New Orleans summer. 

The Hands That Treat is a paranormal romance that feels like the cult movie, Practical Magic, but set in a spell-binding, hurricane drunk New Orleans. 

Ophelia Oubre has always been the strong one. The dependable older sister. The woman who holds everything together. 

But when her grandmother reveals the truth about their family legacy, Ophelia’s world cracks open. She is the next Traiteur, a Cajun healer with the power to mend the body… and maybe the soul. 

As Ophelia steps into her magic, the supernatural underworld of New Orleans begins to reveal itself. But just as quickly as wonder appears, darkness follows. A serial killer is stalking the city, leaving cryptic messages written in blood, and somehow Ophelia is connected to every crime scene. 

The only person she can trust might be the one man she never saw coming— a broody doctor with secrets of his own. He becomes her unlikely partner in the search for answers, and what begins as friendship, quickly ignites into something deeper. 

Because as the killer closes in, Ophelia must uncover the truth about her powers and her past. Together they dive into the magical realm of the Crescent City, chasing answers and trying to stop a killer. 

But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their attraction becomes. 

And in a city built on secrets, love might be the most powerful magic of all.

🔥paranormal romance

🔥romcom

🔥second chance romance

🔥forced proximity

🔥ticking clock


Love never dies, and neither does he, in this second chance romance with a ghostly twist.

Ruby Hart used to believe in happily ever afters. It’s why she runs the Big Tippers and Bodice Rippers book club at the library where she works. But after calling off her engagement six months ago, romance feels more like fiction than fact.

So color Ruby surprised when she gets a call from her ex-fiancé’s phone, only to learn Oliver Blackwood has died in an accident. Or so she thinks, until she comes home to find Ollie’s ghost waiting for her.

Turns out Ruby is a Navigator, part of a long line of Hart women destined to guide souls to the beyond. But when she touches Ollie, he doesn’t move on. Because while he’s dead…he’s also sort of not.

Ollie did betray Ruby, but not the way she thinks. When he was alive, he hunted the undead, tracking a spreading infection that could become an epidemic. Now he is the undead, and he’s tethered to Ruby until they find his zombie body and the creature that bit him, laying them both to rest.

Living with your ex’s ghost 24/7 makes it hard to hold a grudge, and Ruby quickly realizes she might not be as over Ollie as she thought. But if they succeed, Ollie will finally cross over…and Ruby will lose him for good.

For a librarian who wants to believe in happily ever afters again, it may be the ultimate heartbreak.

To my dad, Hunter King is a football prodigy destined for greatness.

The son he always wanted.

To me, Hunter King is the guy I’ve loved most of my life.

The guy who happens to be my dead brother’s boyfriend.

We were kids when Hunter came into our lives—the boy with the skill my brother didn’t have and the drive I lacked. The one who was always kind to me, who cared about my photography when to my dad, it was a hobby, not worth anyone’s time.

Looking at the world through the lens of my camera is the only thing I’ve ever wanted.

Other than Hunter King.

Hunter

I would be nothing without the Blakes. Coach Blake nurtured my football talent from high school through college and now professionally. For all intents and purposes, he was my father. And when I started dating his son Ellis, it felt like I truly became part of the family.

But since Ellis died, nothing feels right anymore—not even the game I’ve always loved.

Until Lucas walks back into my life.

With each lingering touch, I feel sensation returning. Every kiss breathes air into my lungs. And for the first time in three years, it feels like my heart starts beating again.

But with every embrace, I’m betraying Ellis’s memory. The media, my team, Coach Blake will all condemn me. I’ll no longer be their Comeback King. I’ll be the man who is sleeping with his dead boyfriend’s brother.

Yet none of it is enough to make me stop.

“I want to be wanted, Waylon,” she says, voice small and distant. 

There’s a rumbling inside my chest, a growling urge to declare that I want her and it scares me. If I say it out loud, there’s no going back. 

I take two measured steps and slowly position myself in front of her. Toe to toe, she’s not making eye contact with me. She’s biting her bottom lip and staring at my chest. 

“Lyric,” I whisper. “You are wanted. You could have any man in this bar.” I swallow hard and reach out, wrapping my hand around her waist. The pad of my thumb presses against the bare sliver of skin above her skirt. “But I’m asking you to come home with me instead.”

She doesn’t say anything, just softly shakes her head and pinches her eyes closed. 

I lower my mouth to the hollow of her ear. “Do you want me to beg, Lyric?” 

“Yes,” she says, pushing against my chest. Our eyes lock as she creates a little space between us.  

There’s a challenge in her expression—one I can’t ignore. It’s one I can’t back down from.

I kneel—one knee, then the other—slowly. My left hand grips around her leg, just above her knee. My right hand grazes the fabric of her skirt. I lean forward and press my face against her lap, inhaling her scent. My hands trail to her ass, caressing her skin along the path. I grip her tightly, digging my fingertips into her flesh. I bury my face against her pussy through the layers of fabric in my way and listen to her breath hitch as she lurches forward.
