Blurb:

One night of freedom. One forbidden mistake. One impossible choice.

Emma has sacrificed everything—her cheer scholarship, her dream career, her social life—to raise her traumatized little sister after a devastating loss. Taking a job with the Southern Mavericks as a professional cheerleader is her chance to rebuild their lives.

There’s just one unbreakable rule: don’t get involved with the players. Too bad she already did.

Dylan Fleski, the Mavericks’ rugby league fullback and resident heartbreaker, doesn’t do repeats—until one night with a mysterious, no-name stranger changes everything.

He never expected to see her again… let alone find out she’s the new cheerleader he’s not allowed to touch.

Their chemistry is electric. Their connection is real. But with contracts, careers, and a broken family hanging in the balance, giving in could cost them everything.

He wants a second chance. She’s trying to survive the first.

A steamy, emotional sports romance with forbidden love, found family, and a fierce heroine who won’t go down without a fight.

PLAYING RUCKING HARD is an instant attraction, forbidden lovers, spicy NRL football romance in Romance Cafe Publishing’s RUCKED BY YOU series, and is set in the SOUTHERN MAVERICKS rugby league world.

The Chronicles of the Troop

 

 

Magic is feared.

The truth is forgotten.

But the silence – it still remembers. 

Resthaven

The Chronicles of the Troop Book 1

by Colin Darney

Genre: Epic Fantasy

A divine war once shattered the world. Now, it begins anew—unnoticed, and bathed in blood.

Tommy is the son of a fisherman in a quiet lakeside village, where nothing truly dangerous has happened in generations. But when monstrous warriors descend from the woods, slaughtering everything he’s ever known, Tommy is thrown into a world of violence, prophecy, and secrets his father spent a lifetime hiding.

Fleeing across the inland sea, the survivors carry more than trauma—some carry buried power. Among them, an elven woman with a hidden past, a dwarf whose grief burns hotter than his forge, and a boy who isn’t just a boy – he’s something more. As rumors of more attacks spread and refugees flock to safe havens, it becomes clear the ondilaan are not just raiding.

They’re hunting.

But why?

As Tommy struggles to survive, love, and grow into the man the world might need, forces far older than any kingdom turn their gaze toward him. And the hidden power is watching.

Resthaven is the first entry in The Chronicles of the Troop, an epic fantasy saga that blends brutal war, divine judgment, and philosophical weight with real human stakes.

A note to readers: Violence through fantasy combat, Minor swearing, Adult themes, No sex.

Silverlake

The Chronicles of the Troop Book 2

The troop survived Resthaven. But survival was just the beginning.

Donnor leads his ragtag force of villagers, conscripts, and outsiders deeper into the southern reaches of the Serensea. Their mission: find and defend the last remaining settlements from the ondilaan. But the enemy has changed—and so has the troop.

As Tommy comes into his own as both a mage and a chronicler, he wrestles with the burden of power, the scars of war, and the discovery of a lineage that shakes his identity. Beside him, Arisaylia’s magic deepens beyond her control, while Donnor is haunted by a loss he cannot afford to repeat.

In the villages, foothills, and the ruined fields of the south, the troop finds not only battles—but betrayals, hard choices, and the truths that threaten everything they thought they understood.

Silverlake is the second book in The Chronicles of the Troop, a philosophical epic fantasy saga blending tactical war, elven lore, deep character bonds, and the high stakes of ancient memory … for readers who crave stories where victory costs something real.

A note to readers: Violence through fantasy combat, minor swearing, adult themes.

Windyspring

The Chronicles of the Troop Book 3

The enemy grows bolder. Allies grow silent. And the gods remain lost.
 
The troop is scattered, wounded, and shaken by betrayal from within and without. What began as a mission to protect the southern villages of the Serensea now threatens to unravel the fragile balance between kingdoms, clans, and divine history.
 
As Tommy's power blooms into something ancient—and dangerous—Arisaylia confronts truths about the elves that could fracture her people forever. Donnor, haunted by war and his family's fate, must hold together what remains of their fragile alliance before the flames of conflict spread beyond control.
 
Meanwhile, far from the troop's journey, in the Endless Plains power stirs. Civilizations long dormant move once more, as kingdoms make secret pacts and old races return to claim what was once theirs.
 
Windyspring is the third volume of The Chronicles of the Troop, a sweeping epic of war, memory, and magic—where loyalty is tested, identities unravel, and the true cost of power begins to reveal itself.

A note to readers: Violence through fantasy combat, minor swearing, adult themes.

Harper’s Creek

The Chronicles of the Troop Book 4

The dead have been buried. Silence is broken. And secrets refuse to stay where they lay.

As the troop pushes east toward Harper’s Creek, the weight of their survival in Windyspring lingers—along with a growing fear of what lies ahead. Tommy’s power evolves beyond even the elves’ understanding, and Arisaylia begins to question whether the path she and her son will walk was ever theirs to choose.

Back in Redtail Hold, Sella finds herself drawn into a role far greater—and more dangerous—than her songs alone. Her rising influence in the eyes of the elves threatens the balance of the Hold, and the line between duty and desire grows thinner and thinner.

But war isn’t fought only with weapons. As old alliances fray and ancient eyes turn towards the Serensea, both soldier and singer must decide who and what they are—before the tide of history swallows them before their new fate is born.

Harper’s Creek is Book Four of The Chronicles of the Troop, where fantasy meets philosophy, and where battles of the heart are as perilous to everyone involved as those of sword and hidden sorcery.

A note to readers: Fantasy combat, minor swearing, adult themes.

In a world where gods are silent and magic is feared, Colin Darney writes stories about people who still fight forward. A veteran, trauma nurse, and lifelong student of human resilience, Colin’s fantasy series—The Chronicles of the Troop and the follow-up The Book of Ghaan—explore what it means to survive, to love, and to hold on to hope when the world says you shouldn’t.

Known for gritty realism, emotionally layered characters, and the kind of dialogue you'd actually hear in a bar full of off-duty soldiers, Colin blends classic epic fantasy with raw, lived experience. His readers often say the world feels real, the characters feel familiar—and that once they start reading, they can’t put it down.

The Book of Ghaan, Part Two is currently in editing, with release planned for summer 2025.

Broken Beauty by Ketley Allison #REVIEW

 

www.goodreads.com

Broken Beauty

Ketley Allison
BlurbThe charmer.
The stalker.
The tortured leader.
The unhinged psychopath.

I never believed in love - until I met them. The four enigmatic men who would change my life forever.

When I discover the existence of a hidden fortune of an accused witch from the 1700s on Titan Falls campus - a woman executed for poisoning noblewomen's husbands – I had no idea it would force me to choose between my own desires and the safety of those I loved.

Morgan, Xavier, Rio and Rossi are all after the treasure, too.

Their growing attraction to me complicates things. I can't help but feel drawn to each of their dark habits in a way that threatens to destroy me. I sense these men are hiding something, but every time I almost uncover the answer, they call to the darkness inside me as a distraction, the one I thought my morals consumed a long time ago.

As I get closer to the centuries-forgotten fortune, I know I'm playing a dangerous game. But when bloody trinkets start being left at my door, I realize I've gotten too close. Not to the accused witch's secret, but to theirs.

I find myself caught up in a web of power and desire that I'm ashamed to admit, thrills me. But as I struggle to navigate their treacherous games, I begin to question everything I know about love, lust, and the human heart.
And in the end, I'm not sure if I'll be the one left standing.
--
One woman, four men, and a hidden treasure that could be the death of her - Will she uncover the truth in time, or will her heart be the ultimate casualty?
Broken Beauty can be read on its own, but be warned - its twisted path intersects with the captivating world of Cruel Promise.
Review 4*Welcome to Titan Falls where the bullies are mean, the professors are invested in more than the schoolwork and occult studies is every Monday afternoons (I don’t actually know when the class was but you get the gist).

Clover wants to summon an Anderton witch who died in 1700s to help her excel in her occult studies class. Once she starts to look closer into the witches history she’s invested in solving the mystery surrounding her and can’t leave the past to rest. The secrets are in more than the past and once she’s started down the rabbit hole there’s no going back.

The other side to this book is the relationship between Clover and her men, RH. When the book first starts we get a taste of where the book is going and then straight into a spicy ‘meet cute’ with one of her love interest. I was invested in finding out about the witch more than her ‘relationship’ at this point and it was a little distracting.

It took me a while to settle into this story (around 15% before I thought I had a grip on it). It’s told from multiple POVs and as I got to know each character I was invested in their journey.

If this hadn’t been part of the morally grey challenge I might not of stuck with it, but that would’ve been a mistake as this was really good. It was an intriguing mystery and the men were all completely different. I enjoyed getting to know everyone and trying to work out what was going on. This is a duet and the story isn’t over yet.
