A four-month-old, red-headed baby who looked just like him.

After a horrific incident at the hospital where Waverly works puts her at the mercy of her family, Jackson makes it his mission to find out what happened the day Waverly left him and rebuild their family. However, trust doesn’t come easy for Waverly, especially since she’s still been keeping secrets of her own.

Can Jackson tear down Waverly’s walls and recapture their Boom? Or will Waverly’s inability to trust him truly be their demise?

Genre: Contemporary Omegaverse Romantic Comedy

Tropes: Billionaire Boss/Age Gap Romance

Release Date: April 13, 2023

BLURB

They’ve got a knotty, yacht-y problem.

Sunshine

He’s the most notorious grump in the world. An irresistibly sexy billionaire. And my new boss.

But I’m only on his megayacht for the money. If I can make it through the week, I’ll have enough to keep my slightly illegal betasitting business afloat, convince my parents I have what it takes to be the captain of my fate, and sail off into the sunrise.

It’ll be fine, as long as I don't fall off the yacht.

Or fall on Grumpy’s one-eyed pocket pirate.

Or fall in love.

Grumpy

She’s not a beta. She’s not a sitter. And she sure as hell can’t be my true mate, because the ray of sunshine taking care of my niece is everything I don’t need.

A gorgeous gold digger, eighteen years younger than me, and so sweet she makes my teeth ache to claim her as mine.

For the week at least. Or maybe forever.

It’ll be fine, I’ll just keep her at a distance. How hard could I be?

I mean, how hard could it be?

Sunshine’s Grump is an age gap, omegaverse, billionaire Rom-Com with a happy ever after.

#ReleaseBlitz for Sacrifice by Rhea Watson @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: Sacrifice

An Extinction Omegaverse World Standalone

Author: Rhea Watson

Genre: Dark Omegaverse Romance

Tropes: MFM Shifter/Forced Proximity

Release Date: April 13, 2023

BLURB

When I graduated from the Omega Academy, I had options.

Sure, as a Class-B Fertile, I’d never get top dollar from our local alpha packs, but I was the next best option after all the Class-A omegas were claimed.

Until someone else let Dad name his price.

As an omega, I always expected to be bought and sold—but not like this.

Not to a shifter breeding facility.

The men in charge want to save the tigers. With their wilder halves almost extinct, tiger shifters aren’t far behind, and the fate of their species is in my hands.

Apparently.

It’s absurd. It’s insulting.

But it’s my new reality.

A reality I suffer with two unbonded alpha tiger shifters who hate sharing territory—but who hate being treated like animals even more. While Luther is suspicious of me from the start, Oryn quickly takes me under his wing and shares the key to our survival.

No touching.

No mating.

No knotting.

Abstinence is resistance.

It’s worked for them before, but I’m the first omega ever forced into heat and thrown to the beasts. After years of refusing to breed with anyone, I’m the perfumed pawn sent to break these two kings.

So, we fight.

We resist.

But our captors have all the power, and no matter how hard we ignore the call, it’s only a matter of time before instinct takes over…

And we surrender to the roles we were born to play.

Sacrifice is a dark MFM shifter omegaverse romance set in the Extinction Omegaverse world. Here, you’ll find such tropes as Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, Us against the World, and Forced Proximity.

Please Note: The overall series is not “dark”, but Sacrifice has dark, disturbing themes and scenarios leveled against the MCs, and it may be triggering to some readers.

‘Your brass is ballsy, Kage Sable.’ – Harlow Meridien.

Running from her past, Harlow lives for the present. She’s sassy-smart-strong. A genius, generous, confident scientist developing a groundbreaking propulsion technology that’s attracted the attention of The Sable Group, and Kage Sable, to be exact.

He’s a master builder, an ex-warrior, a kick-ass engineer with sexy nerd energy and her new ‘boss’. His shop is responsible for an enviable fleet of high-tech corvettes, luxury flyers and racing pinnaces – helping to cement the Sable Riders’ dominance across Pegasi.

Convinced she’s the woman for him, Kage is determined to make Harlow his. He strongly believes every superwoman needs a superman. Problem is, she’s not so sure. She’s got a bad history with men. All she wants to do is focus on her work that could shift the balance of power in the Pegasi System.

She’s wary of Kage’s moxie and full-on thrust at life and love and doesn’t think she’s ready for that much intensity yet. But he slowly draws her in, one delicious moment at a time.

From subterranean speakeasies, sunken casinos and ancient ruins to fighting dens and exquisite eateries, Kage takes Harlow on dizzying flights of pure bliss across Eden II to convince her he’s light years from the ‘lame, always running game’ losers of her past. Instead, he’s a real man with strong convictions and the best intentions, who believes in an impossible love.

Together, they’ll fight for the relationship they want while keeping their top-secret breakthrough from a swarm of greedy, ruthless galactic hustlers. Together, they’ll fall into a twilight dusk of heady love and impossible starlight.

To accomplish that would require a miracle. All three dreams are almost impossible, but it's the "almost" that keeps Finn going. Ernest Hemingway had three sons and ached to have a daughter.

Tropes: Best Friend's Brother/Enemies to Lovers

Release Date: April 13, 2023

I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother, but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do.

Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade.

Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

Even if it means we have to share a hotel room in Hawaii, which might be the final duty that breaks me.

Not only does Theo know exactly how to push my buttons, but he never wears clothes, he’s hiding a litter of kittens in his room, and he keeps showing up with fresh-baked cookies that seemingly come from nowhere.

Also?

I have no idea why he’s being such an utter ass to the groom.

Or why he’s so proud of the world’s most awkward wedding gift.

Or why I suddenly want to know what makes him tick. The story behind his tattoos. How he can afford to rent a convertible in Hawaii. And if maybe all of that utter frustration and irritation I’ve felt for him for years is suppressed attraction that a good girl like me isn’t supposed to feel for the biggest bad boy of Snaggletooth Creek.

But I do know one thing.

When I find out his biggest secret and the answer to all of my questions, it will change everything.

The Worst Wedding Date is a frolicking good time of a destination wedding enemies-to-lovers romcom, complete with a good girl bridesmaid, her best friend’s troublemaking but secretly big-hearted brother, and more than one hitch on the way to happily ever after. It stands alone, has no cheating, and comes complete with ooey gooey goodness.
