Blurb/Synopsis:

It took a family loss to draw artist Leddy Finster away from his retreat in the woods of rural Wisconsin back to the family home in Carlisle. Originally intending to help clean out his father’s condo and return to the peace and quiet his work requires, he doesn’t expect old feelings for his brother’s best friend to bloom again after all this time. Nor could he ever have expected his father’s obsession with shoes… lots of shoes.

Professional hockey player Johan Weiss spends his summers in Carlisle, where he grew up. As a favor, he agrees to help Leddy clean out his father’s condo and get it ready to be sold. Working together, they list the hundreds of pairs of shoes for sale, getting reacquainted while their mutual teenage crushes renew into full-on attraction that they each try to resist.

Johan’s life is busy between his home in Carlisle and his place in Philadelphia with the hockey team, while Leddy believes he needs quiet and solitude to work at his best. Their needs seem incompatible with each other, but Johan demonstrates that he’s able to make room for Leddy as well as provide inspiration Leddy never expected. All Leddy has to do is decide if home is the woods or where his heart is.

Title: Stone & Shadows

Series: The Fire & Shadow Series #1

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Release Date: March 15, 2024

BLURB

The hybrid:

Athena Elliot has always believed she was different- that something more existed beneath her frail, human form than just blood and bone. A whisper of power that she could never quite place but could always feel, simmering just beneath the surface.

When she’s taken prisoner- held captive inside a realm she believed to be nothing more than myth- she learns it goes far beyond what she ever imagined possible.

A hybrid. Part human, part wielder- more powerful than both- the only living one of her kind.

But if Thena has any hope of surviving in a world where everyone wants to either steal her power or see her dead, she’s going to have to master a magic she never could have dreamt of possessing.

The shadow prince:

A powerful wielder- a magical creature long since lost to the human world- Haytham’s realm is dying- poisoned by an unknown source that’s draining the land, and the people, of their magic. While many are quick to place blame on what they view as an impure bloodline, Haytham believes that the hybrid is not the cause, but the very cure they’ve been searching for.

Determined to protect Thena at all cost, Haytham will stop at nothing to ensure her safety, including betraying his own father- who would love nothing more than to put an end to the hybrid bloodline for good.

The stakes:

In a realm divided by factions of power all vying for control, it’s hard to know who you can trust. And when true intentions are revealed, Thena stands to lose a lot more than just her heart.

Fortune may favor the bold, but lately, it hasn’t favored Bree Faust.

Raised in the neon-lit embrace of Fortuna Casino & Resort, Bree is a twenty-two-year-old with more than a smattering of freckles and a sense of loyalty that runs deep. When change is thrust upon her again, she finds herself at a major crossroads and is torn between embracing her legacy as Lady Luck or drawing a card for a new life filled with unknowns.

Enter Vinh Lott, a twenty-nine-year-old with a fierce protective streak and a heart scarred by fire. A reserved software engineer moonlighting at his parents’ new restaurant, Vinh is the steady rock Bree never knew she needed. When fate brings them together in the chaos of the casino, Bree faces the biggest gamble of her life—trusting Vinh to be both her anchor and safe harbor in the greatest storm she has ever faced.

As obstacles loom, from Bree’s demanding grandmother, the return of an antagonistic former friend, and the temporary nature of Vinh’s stay on the coast, their love story unfolds against the glittering backdrop of a casino resort. Will Bree and Vinh beat the odds, or will they lose it all in the grand game of love?

AUTHOR BIO

Lane O’Neil is a former enneagram Type 2 and current enneagram Type 9 (Cancer sign, if you must know) who loves change. You can just ask her husband—who is asked to rearrange their living room furniture every seven business weeks—to verify that statement.

Born, raised, and forever resident of Atlanta-ish, Georgia, she loves egg rolls, blankies, and her four dogs—a feisty mutt and three pitties, or “senior pitizens.”

Lane rekindled her love of reading during the tumultuous, emotional trench warfare time of her life known as the postpartum period after she had her first and only son in 2021.

That renewed spark led her to link up with indie authors as an alpha and beta reader, which eventually led to a crazy idea—one that had never once crossed her mind before.

What if she tried to write something?

Once her mortifying flashback to completing the writing portion of her SATs in 2009 was done and she took a shower to wash off the nervous sweats, she opened a document and began writing.

BLURB

Sandra:

I'm a girl who doesn't need a man. I've tried, but love isn't in the cards for me. Until one night, one fateful evening—I fell and fell quick. The love that consumes me for Dominic Torano is epic, one of storybook fairy tales. That is until he asks for the one thing I'm unwilling to give him. It had been a decision I'd made, well before we’d met, and as much as I want, I can’t change, even if it is for the man I love with my whole heart.

Dominic:

I'm just a guy in love with a woman who evokes a sense of serenity in my life. It's a beautiful love story, mine and hers. Until she tells me she won't give me the one thing I've dreamt of my entire life—my own family. Do I walk away, stating we're not compatible, or do I choose a woman over my future children, children I've yet to meet?

EXCERPT

My sister swore a weekend at the lake would be fun, and as the bare-assed man I met last night slides out of my bed, I'd say she was right.

It should be awkward, right? I know his name. I know he's the brother of Daimen Torano, who is Chicago royalty. He's hot and likes to tell me what to do in the bedroom. It's all I know about him, but what more do I really need? When was the last time I had sex before last night? And how many orgasms did I have?

He looks back at me, sliding his jeans up and hiding the excellent view. "I had fun. Same time, same place tonight, Rosso?" It's what he's called me since we crossed paths last night. After all, he’s obsessed with my flaming red locks.

This is insane. I love sex, and I'm not a prude, but meeting a man a decade younger than me, only to repeat it tonight—I may be almost forty, but I'm not dead. Nor am I stupid.

"Sounds like a plan," I answer, and he slips out of the room.

And it was the plan, but in the typical way my life seems to work, nothing goes according to plan, leaving a second night with Dominic Torano to my imagination.
