He was once a carefree boy, chasing freedom across wide open fields. Life, love, and loss would shape him into something far deeper — a man torn between adventure and responsibility, passion and heartbreak.

Set against the backdrop of rodeo dust and the unforgettable glow of a circus, *Aroha’s Cowboy* is more than a romance. It’s a story of how love can break us, heal us, and change us forever. Readers who crave cowboy grit, tender intimacy, and the bittersweet ache of real emotion will find themselves swept away.

House of Lies by A.eM

💀Blurb ⛓️

LIAR

Same face, different mask, and he calls me a liar?

Same blood, different parents, and he dares call me his brother?

I am nothing to him. Nothing to anyone. Just someone surviving on a mountain of lies. But I’m not a liar. I feed on lies because I am the only one who knows the truth. The only one who can stop the House of Clowns.

But I refuse to be one of them. I will not be a clown.

I am a ghost, my face painted so they won’t recognize that I’m the same as him—the one who calls himself my brother.

But it’s all lies. A big house of lies.

DOLL

One love. One loss. It’s time to move on.

But how can I? I saw him. I saw his face. I saw his mask. And he doesn’t even remember me. He doesn’t remember anything. And yet, he still haunts me.

Is it the truth? Or is it all a lie?

Or am I just trapped in a dream, inside this house of lies?

House of Clowns by A. eM

🎪Blurb🤡

JOKER

They called it the House of Clowns, but it felt more like a prison to me. A place where people were forced into roles they never chose, a refuge for outcasts with nowhere else to go. It was made for the amusement of others, but never for the happiness of those trapped inside. Slowly, it was draining me—stripping away not just my joy, but the core of who I once was. If I could remember anything from before this place, maybe I'd hold onto it. But all I know now is this—a life of smeared colors, an endless performance for an invisible audience.

They say what doesn't break you makes you stronger. But that's a lie. It doesn't build you up; it wears you down, piece by piece until all that's left is the mask you wear.

***

I've told myself over and over that people will always try to tear you down. It's a reflex—they crush your hopes because they can't bear to see you rise above them. They want you in the shadows so they feel bigger and more secure. How I despise them.

And they call me a clown? No, the real clowns are the ones who wear fake smiles and pretend everything's perfect in their little worlds. It's all a joke—a joke that stops being funny when their world falls apart. And when it does, they'll drag you down with them, taking whatever's left of your smile.

Black Sheep by Skye Warren

5 stars

The pain and angst of this story radiates off the pages! While everything feels desolate and hopeless, that spark refuses to be extinguished, that with enough oomph, these troubles can be overcome. Desperate measures aren’t needed though, and things do eventually come together, with a little help, and some of the same underhandedness that has been used against them. This was a most satisfying conclusion that fit our characters and their story so well <3

White Lies by Skye Warren

 5 stars

Wow, I wasn’t sure where this was going to go, and it certainly took me on a wild ride! We left the last book with our heroine kidnapped, and our hero in a funk after sending her away. How the truths came out, unexpected. How the stories, seemingly separate, intertwined, unforeseen. How all things hopeless came together, unanticipated. How that ending took a twist, just when it seemed all things were worked out, unpredicted. Cannot wait for the third book in this trilogy, Black Sheep, and what else is in store for Sienna and Logan!
