It’s Wednesday, February 11th, and according to my calendar, it’s National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day – an important reminder to stay positive, even when things don’t go your way. Sometimes you really do just have to let things slide.
Today, we’re sliding straight into more than 40 new book releases, including fresh titles from Mayra Statham, Kristin Lee, and Kendrai Meeks. Let’s take a look at what’s new for today!
Forbidden Play by Kristin Lee (The O’Ryan Family Series)
In the mood for a steamy sports romance? Forbidden Play is the second book in USA Today bestselling author Kristin Lee‘s “O’Ryan Family” series. It features several romance tropes, including age gap, brother’s best friend, fake dating, teach me, and not his baby.
Noelle knows she should stay away from her brother’s best friend, but fake dating Matt Stricker quickly turns into something real. As their feelings deepen and a secret pregnancy threatens to change everything, both must face whether their risky connection can become a future they can share.
Dear Stalker by Mayra Statham (Naughty Notes Series)
Mayra Statham’s latest release is Dear Stalker, the seventh book in the “Naughty Notes” multi‑author romance series. This collection features eight instalove stories filled with swoonworthy moments and guaranteed happily‑ever‑afters just in time for Valentine’s Day – and Statham’s entry delivers all the heat and heart fans expect.
A single slow dance in a rough biker bar is enough to pull him out of the shadows and toward the woman he can’t stop watching. When she begins leaving him notes, their connection deepens, and he decides to fight the curse on his family name and claim a future with her.
Medici Moon by Kendrai Meeks (Vampire Sovereigns Series)
If a paranormal romance with a slow burn is your style, Kendrai Meeks’ novel Medici Moon delivers immortal longing, forbidden devotion, and a love that endures because it is chosen. It’s the second book in the author’s “Vampire Sovereigns” series, deepening the world with even more tension, magic, and heart.
Patria de’ Medici has spent her life marrying for power, not love, to keep the vampiric courts in balance. But when she falls for Pavlos Katsaros, the heir to a rival throne, their forbidden bond forces them to choose between duty to their cities and the chance at a life together.
