Blog Tour: THE RESCUER by G.K. Brady

 


She’s moving on. 

He’s running out of time. 

One reckless night changes everything.

The Rescuer

Fall River Series Book 3

by G.K. Brady

Genre: Small-Town Second Chance Romantic Suspense



She’s moving on. He’s running out of time. One reckless night changes everything.

Reece Hunnicutt has spent his life coming to the rescue—whether it’s pulling climbers off treacherous mountain faces or volunteering to string the town’s Christmas lights. But after walking away from the elite search and rescue squad that gave him purpose, Reece is a man untethered, without a landing pad and dodging questions about his future. The one constant in his life? His quiet dedication to his small mountain town and his brothers who have no idea he’s about to embark on a new future that will take him to the other side of the continent.

Town veterinarian Neve Embry has been nursing a one-sided love for Reece since childhood. But she’s done waiting for him to see her as more than a kid sister who needs his protection. Between juggling a struggling clinic and starting up an exciting new relationship with a charming billionaire resort owner, Neve is determined to move on. Sparks might not fly with her new beau, but at least her heart isn’t on the line.

Until one impulsive night in Vegas changes everything.

Waking up married to Reece is the last thing Neve expects—or wants. But when her clinic is vandalized and her life upended, Reece insists on sticking around until the culprit is caught. Forced to live under the same roof, their shaky alliance begins to crack under the weight of their undeniable chemistry.

As danger closes in and secrets come to light, Reece and Neve must confront the truth about their desires—and decide whether this love can be rescued.

 

Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads





The urge to giggle had everything to do with nerves and nothing to do with how he looked. No, nothing about his physique was giggle-worthy. If Neve could have crafted the perfect male specimen, he would have looked exactly like Reece. A sculpted torso that started at wide shoulders and tapered to a trim waist, like a V, above a perfectly square butt. Smooth, tan skin.

His back was to her, so she couldn’t assess the man package, but judging by the way it had felt against her in bed, he wasn’t lacking in that department either.

He came to a stop and glanced over his shoulder. “You’re staring.”

She swallowed a yelp.

A slow grin spread over his face—at least the side she could see in profile. “You know what they say. You see mine, I see yours.”

“That’s so childish!” she spluttered. “Besides, you’ve already seen it, and so have I.”

“We were five years old, Neve. I think things have changed since then.”

Details.

She brushed at something tickling her shoulder and looked up. “They have robes in here. His and hers, judging by the sizes.”

“Good because I can’t find a single stitch. Throw one out, would you?”

Hoisting herself to her feet, she slid the smaller robe from its hanger and quickly pulled it on before handing him the other one through the closet door.

“Thanks.” Fabric rustled. “As much fun as it is talking to you through a closet door, I think it’d be much easier if you came out.”

“Are you decent?”

“Always.”

She opened the door and stepped out—and tried not to laugh, especially given the seriousness of their dilemma. The robe hit him at the knees, and the sleeves were halfway up his forearms.

“We need to figure this out,” they both said at the same time.

“Maybe there are some clues in here.” Reece loped toward their adjoining doors, which stood wide open, but before she could follow, he let out a strangled sort of noise from his bedroom.

“What is it?” She hurried through the doorway.

“Found our clothes.”

His bed looked as though a herd of elephants had tap-danced on it. Scattered around said bed were various bits of his and her wedding outfits. Her panties lay in a crumpled heap beside his boxers, and her matching strapless bra hung over a chair that sat cockeyed to the desk. On the nightstand stood two empty champagne bottles, along with a half-dozen martini glasses, also empty.

She gasped and tried not to hurl.

He held up his hands. “Don’t panic.” Traipsing over to the desk, he switched on the lamp and picked up a piece of paper. A groan punched from his lungs.

“What? What is it?”

He locked gazes with her. “You can panic now.”

A mere beat passed, and she was by his side, gawking at what he held in his hands. Her already-unsettled stomach plummeted to her toes. “That’s … that’s …”

“A marriage license. Yeah.”

“It’s got to be a joke. Are those our real names?”

“Looks like.”

He plucked up what looked like a receipt and whipped his head toward her. His eyes dipped to her hand. “Holy Mother of …”

She followed his gaze, and her mouth swung open.

He pointed at her hand. “That is not fake.”

On her left ring finger was a big-ass diamond and a matching band.

Now she darted her eyes to his left hand. “Uh, you seem to be wearing what looks like the man version of mine. These must be fake! Right?”

“Don’t think so.” He held up the receipt.

She covered her mouth to hold back a choked cry. “Is that a six? With four zeros after it?”

“No, that’s an eight.” He rubbed his forehead with his free hand. “Damn! I bought these!”

She inspected the ring, which was almost too big for her small finger. “It is beautiful.”

“I have great taste. Did you have a say in it, or did I just … buy it?”

She blinked. “You’re asking me?”

“You were there, weren’t you?”

“Yeah, I was there, but I was as drunk as you, and everything’s a black hole.”

Dear God, what had they done?

About the Author


Michael J. Kundu was born in London, Great Britain, in 1969 to an Indian father and a German mother. He has lived in various places in Europe. His love for reading has prompted him to write this book giving this crime novel more than an edge of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary perspective on life.

He has a great passion for learning languages and travelling across the globe. He enjoys spending time with his family and lives in Luxembourg with his Italian wife and two teenage children.

My multinational background, coupled with my marriage to someone of a different nationality, has endowed me with a wealth of diverse experiences. Having traversed the globe, speaking multiple languages and immersing myself in various cultures, the profound value of each individual has become a cornerstone of my worldview. These multicultural encounters have not only fostered a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of every person but have also instilled in me a commitment to promoting mutual respect, free from the shackles of prejudice related to color or religion. In composing my book, these experiences have permeated not only this narrative …but also the forthcoming sequel.

Cover Reveal: INSATIABLE by Erica Ridley

 


She has a sharp mind... and even sharper teeth.


Insatiable

by Erica Ridley

Genre: YA Historical Horror, Thriller


A chilling Gothic horror novel set at a coed boarding school in Scotland, where a teen girl must not only fight against her monstrous male classmates but the monster growing within her after being cursed.

Every wish granted comes with strings attached. That’s how Catriona Cameron gets a scholarship to Floodbane Academy—an elite boarding school in the Scottish Lowlands she never applied to—where she’ll be one of only six girls to enter the castle’s unwelcoming halls.

She’s not looking for trouble, but after a violent attack, mischievous dark fairies grant cruel wishes made against her. Catriona is blessed with devastatingly good looks and unpredictable new powers, but cursed with an insatiable hunger to devour anyone who preys upon women.

As the carnage mounts, Catriona faces the possibility that she is becoming as monstrous as those she hunts. Ultimately, is vengeance worth the loss of her humanity?

“Betrothed to the butcher?” I repeat my father’s words in horror. I was hoping to be a teacher, not some stranger’s possession. “Why can’t I choose my own future?”

My brother Hamish smirks. “I wish you could attend a boarding school, if one would have you. You’d come crying home before the end of the first week and beg to marry the butcher. After the first day!”

A growl of thunder rattles the windowpanes.

I flinch. “Hamish! You know you shouldn’t say—”

Mother erupts into a coughing fit, distracting me from my brother’s thoughtless words. I thump her on her back with growing concern for a long moment before she’s able to regain her composure.

Hamish doesn’t even acknowledge the interruption.

“You wouldn’t survive an hour in one of my classes,” he says with a laugh. “Educate a girl? The headmaster would laugh you right out of—”

Lightning fills the room, and thunder shakes the windows again, matching the fury inside my heart.

I scramble to my feet. “Of all the ignorant, immature, mean-spirited things you’ve ever said—”

A knock shakes our front door.

We all fall silent, staring at one another. Who would be foolish enough to venture out-of-doors in a storm this violent?

Actually… I cock my head to listen. I can’t hear the rain anymore. The nails shivered in the timber seconds ago, but suddenly, it’s so quiet that I would almost believe the world outside these walls ceased to exist.

The knocking sounds again, louder this time. A draft slithers under the door, carrying the chill of damp earth.

“Don’t stand there, Catriona.” Father makes an impatient shooing gesture. “Go answer the door.”

Hamish leaps up from his armchair and races to beat me to the entryway. He is the one to turn the handle and fling open the door.

On the other side stands a tall, thin stranger with dark skin and a dry cloak and black eyes shadowed beneath the equally dry brim of a black top hat.

I glance over his shoulder. The storm is gone. It looks like it never happened at all. The ground is dry. No breeze rustles the leaves of the trees. Stars fill the cloudless sky.

Something is wrong.

Hamish puffs up his chest. “May I help you, Mr…?”

The stranger looks bored, in as much as his half-visible expression can be read. “Ross. Reporting to take Miss Catriona Cameron to school, as requested.”

I stare at him. “What did you say?”

“School?” Hamish repeats, flabbergasted. “No one requested that.”

“I’ve the papers right here.” Mr. Ross lifts a black-gloved hand. A sheet of tri-folded parchment pokes from his fingers.

Hamish snatches the paper from the stranger’s hand.

“I’m so sorry,” I tell Mr. Ross with embarrassment. “I’m Catriona Cameron. My brother—”

“It says you’re to report to boarding school,” Hamish exclaims. “On the Isle of Skye!”

“What? Let me see.” I pluck the paper from his fingers and scan the contents in confusion. Floodbane Academy? Never heard of it. “It says… they approved my application.”

Hamish goggles at me. “I didn’t know you’d applied.”

I didn’t.

Though as far as mistakes go, this is the best one that has ever happened to me. I hate that I must confess to Mr. Ross that I won’t be—

“Did it work?” murmurs my mother’s voice behind my ear.

I spin to ask her what on earth she’s talking about, but the urgency in her brown eyes gives me the answer. It’s the same expression she wears when passing down tales from my gran.

I wish you did attend a boarding school, my brother had snarled at me.

Without retracting his words.

Without begging God for protection.

And tonight, the fairies decided to grant a young boy his wish.

“It’s happening,” I whisper back in shock.

The fairies are trickster sprites. They love to grant wishes in the opposite way from how they were meant. My brother’s intention had been to shame me. To assert that girls neither deserved nor could qualify for the same advantages as boys.

Instead of shaming me as well, the fairies are offering me what I’ve always wanted. A path that didn’t even exist until Hamish opened his mouth.

But is this a wish come true, or the start of a new nightmare?

Blog Tour: STONE OF DESTINY by Margaret Izard



This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Margaret Izard will be awarding a Stone of Destiny Swag Box to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.



Bound by destiny, torn by fate—their love stood unbroken, victorious over all.

Kat MacArthur still feels the loss of her brother to another time. Seeking solace, she stumbles upon Ceallach, a Fae warrior, she’s had feelings for ever since she met him. The emotion grows stronger whenever they are together. Yet he warns her to stay away from the upcoming gathering for the Iona Stones. Kat refuses—she needs to be there to help her family and Ceallach.

Ceallach is torn between duty, magic, and the ache for mortal love. His Fae soul is sworn to protect the Iona Stones during the Gathering, but his heart is lost to Kat. With the prophecy looming, he cannot promise her forever—no matter how much he longs to. The maiden of the Iona Stones now faces sacrifice, and he fears if his beloved gets too close, he cannot save her.

When dark forces rise to take the Iona Stones along with their powers, Ceallach is forced into an impossible decision—to defy destiny or surrender to love?


Read an Excerpt

Still wearing a grin, he strode forward with confidence, and a sensuality Kat had not forgotten. The man still took her breath away with one look. Ceallach arrived before her, a smile playing on his lips. As his eyes swept across her face, the expression faltered. His brows knitted together in a frown, shadowing the sudden tension in his gaze. Reaching with his finger, he lifted a tear from her cheek, gripped his fist hard, and when opened, a small, clear teardrop-shaped gemstone sat in his palm.

“Dry yer tears, sweet Kat. Yer face is much prettier without them.” He took her hand and, with his other placed the gemstone in her palm. “When ye hold the gem, yer tears will fade, and happy thoughts shall fill yer heart.” When the stone touched her skin, her mind cleared, and a sense of ease washed over her.

Ceallach released her hand and strode past her to the doors.

Kat turned, calling after him. “Wait, why are ye here?”

The attractive Fae stopped and turned. “Dagda sent me. I’ve come to meet with the guardian of the stones. All the stones have returned. The gathering and battle of good vs evil is upon us. The gods have called, and we must answer.”

He opened the heavy oak doors without effort and strode through. The doors weight closed them, leaving Kat in the shadows again. She blinked, almost not believing her eyes and the truth before her. Her secret love had just casually strolled back into her life. Gripping the gem, he’d shaped from her tears, warmth washed over her. Ceallach was here. A smile crossed her face.

Ceallach was here.

Topic: What are the best and worst things about writing in this genre?

 

Why I Chose This Genre and Then Immediately Gave Myself Homework

 

Writing paranormal romance is a little like inviting chaos into your house and then being shocked when it rearranges the furniture. I love it. I complain about it. I keep doing it anyway.

Here are the honest highs and lows.

 

The Best Things

 

The Stakes Are Never Small

Go big or go home.
In paranormal romance, a bad breakup isn’t just awkward—it can unravel prophecy, doom a realm, or unleash something ancient and angry. Love isn’t a nice bonus; it’s often what holds reality together. If a character walks away, there are consequences—usually, loud ones.

As a writer, that’s delicious. You get to put emotion under pressure and see what survives.

 

Magic Does the Heavy Lifting for Emotion

Fate, curses, immortal vows—these aren’t gimmicks. They’re emotional amplifiers. When a character can’t choose love without risking everything, every glance, every almost-touch matters more. Paranormal romance lets you turn internal conflict into an external threat, which is just good storytelling with sparks.

 

Series Readers Are Ride-or-Die
Paranormal readers don’t just read—they remember. They track lore. They notice patterns. They care about the long game. If you build a world and respect it, they’ll follow you across multiple books, timelines, and emotional disasters. It’s incredibly rewarding… and mildly terrifying.

 

The Worst Things

 

You Don’t Get to Cheat
Once you establish magic rules, congratulations—you are trapped by your own genius. That prophecy clause you tossed in during Book Two? It will absolutely come back to haunt you in Book Seven. Paranormal romance readers have receipts.

Ask me how I know.

 

Endings Are Not Optional
You can’t just “wrap things up” in a paranormal series. Fate demands closure—magic demands balance. Love demands proof. If you’ve been building toward something across multiple books, the finale has to deliver—or readers will feel betrayed. No pressure.

 

The Series Arc Will Own You
Standalone books are cute. Paranormal series are a commitment. When you write a seven-book arc, you’re not just telling individual love stories—you’re constructing an emotional and mythic spine that must hold the entire structure together. Every choice matters. Every sacrifice echoes.

 

And That’s Where Stone of Destiny Comes In

Stone of Destiny closes the seven-book Stones of Iona series, which means the story carries the weight of every promise made before it. This isn’t just about one couple falling in love—it’s about every character before fulfilling prophecy, resolving ancient magic, and honoring the emotional journey that’s been unfolding since the first Stone.

 

For each couple, fate, duty, and timing have always tangled love. In the final book, those threads collide. The arc closes not because destiny allows it—but because the characters finally choose to face it.

 

That’s the best and worst thing about paranormal romance in a nutshell: You don’t get easy endings. You get earned ones.

 

And honestly? That’s why I keep coming back. I love writing epic love stories with high stakes and greater rewards—escapism at its finest.

 

Last, make sure to read to the end. This book launches us into the next series, Dragons of Tantallon.
