With his trusted partner, Micah French, Ray races across Florida to find her before the people hunting her close in.
But nothing makes sense—how did they track her down?
Why has her former handler gone missing?
And could Mary Beth unknowingly be holding the key to something even more dangerous?

Hideout in Tampa delivers gripping Christian suspense packed with danger, loyalty, and second chances—perfect for fans of fast-paced FBI thrillers with clean romance and enduring faith.

Excerpt

The rain battered the window, each drop a staccato beat against the silence of Miranda’s empty apartment. She stared at the file spread across her desk, the edges curled with the weight of her obsession. Each photograph, each scribbled note, was another piece of a puzzle she had begun assembling the night she found Peter’s phone—hidden beneath the loose floorboard, where only she would know to look.

Miranda’s fingers trembled as she traced the outline of the last text he ever sent, its cryptic message haunting her: “If anything happens, look for the truth in the shadows.” She’d spent weeks in those shadows, chasing rumors and half-truths, pushing herself into spaces where grief and rage blurred into something sharper, something dangerous.

Tonight, the answer felt close, hovering in the electric hush before the storm breaks. She reached for the photograph, the one that didn’t belong, and in its glossy surface, Miranda saw the reflection of the person she was becoming—not the widow, not the journalist, but the avenger.

Spotlight: Finding Romance by S.E. Rose

Release Date: August 25

Piper Dawson is trying to figure out her life. After recently graduating from art school, she’s crashing at her mom’s house and rethinking all her decisions. 

She’s never had a real job, a boyfriend, or any close friends. What she does have is a great aunt who needs her help, so she’s packing up her life into a suitcase and heading to the city.

On paper, Kasen Saddler seemingly has a great life. He has a wonderful, doting grandmother, great friends and neighbors, the perfect apartment, and a job he loves. After staying with his grandmother for a few months, he’s home and starting to realize his secret traumatic past might be holding him back. But this former military special operations soldier isn’t quite brave enough to confront his fears…that is until a certain woman turns up in his apartment building’s hallway trying to find her aunt’s missing necklace.

What starts as a hunt for Piper’s aunt’s necklace, soon turns into Kasen agreeing to give the relationship clueless Piper dating lessons. There’s only one problem. The more time Kasen spends with Piper, the more he doesn’t want to stop helping her as a “practice” boyfriend.

Piper knows there’s more to Kasen than he’s willing to share. She wishes their relationship could be real. She also wishes she could stay and spend more time with all the new friends that she’s made in the building. But her time is running out. She’s already agreed to stay with her dad.

Will the secretive Kasen let himself finally find romance with the unlikely woman who fell into his world and stole his heart, or will Piper leave before they both realize what was pretend to begin with turned into something very real?

Cover Reveal: Fear of Flames by Aleatha Romig

Wide Release Date: October 15

Will Be Available In Kindle Unlimited: October 20

She writes thrillers for a living, but nothing could prepare her for the one she’s living now.

By day, Michelle Holdcraft is the quiet woman-next-door in small-town Indiana. But by night, she's D. Valentine, a bestselling thriller author with a mind for murder and secrets.

Her real life? 

Completely ordinary. Until one unplanned trip to visit her estranged father in Iron Falls, Massachusetts, flips everything upside down.

She wakes to a gunshot only to find her father’s body in a pool of blood on the first floor and flames engulfing the walls.
She barely escapes the burning house. Fleeing barefoot into the snow, Michelle becomes the only witness to a crime that no one in Iron Falls wants solved. Especially the sheriff.

Hiding in the snowy pines as she watches her father’s home burn, Michelle doesn’t know what to do, until a mysterious man appears, offering to help her—to save her life.

Michelle has never met Fletch—surely, she would remember this handsome and dangerous man if she had. However, Fletch knew her father and knows a lot about her, including her alter ego and her mother’s mysterious death.

With limited options, Michelle accepts Fletch’s help. It isn’t until she sees the large tattoo across his wide shoulder blades that she is shaken to the core. Michelle has seen that exact tattoo before—on her father.

Fletch might be her only ally... but he is hiding something. Her life has become one of her thrillers.
But this time, the story’s out of her hands—and the ending might just kill her.

This time, the heroine doesn’t get to write the final page.

What will it bring?

Spotlight: Bad for Business by Kat Singleton

From the #1 bestselling billionaire romance author of Black Ties & White Lies comes the second stand-alone novel set at an exclusive country club in the Hamptons. Bad for Business is a hate to love, black cat x golden retriever, billionaire romance.

Ryker Davenport is the reckless, arrogant heir to his family’s company and my ticket to a big promotion.

As a publicist at one of the top PR firms in New York, I’m used to handling tough cases—not impossible ones. But how better to prove I’m deserving of that promotion than to turn Ryker back into the golden boy everyone once thought him to be and convince the board that he’s fit to lead. The only catch? We’ve got some history—the complicated kind.

Spending the summer working in the Hamptons wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t stuck here with the one man who knows just how to get under my skin, and into my head. I’ve spent so much time with him that it almost feels like our fighting has slowly turned into flirting. Now I’m worried it’s not just my head he’s getting into—but my heart.

The job was to prove to the world that Ryker isn’t bad for business, but in doing so, I may have proved to myself that Ryker isn’t bad for me…
