BOOK TOUR: A Shadow Called Sunshine by Nicole Cherie Hesse

This week we are pleased to share a unique story that while fictional, is based on the author’s journey!

A Shadow Called Sunshine

Genre: Dark Psychological Romance

Tropes/ Themes

  • Hero’s journey
  • Major characters killed off
  • Unlikeable victim
  • Self discovery
  • Righting past wrongs
  • Time twisted Love triangle
  • Forbidden love
  • Soul life journey

He doesn’t see himself as the villain.

She can’t believe he is, until it’s too late. But the damage is undeniable.

Charismatic, composed, and deeply controlled, the shadow of the man at the center of this haunting story has mastered the art of perception. Yet beneath his carefully curated surface lives a long lineage of suffering, sabotage and choices that ripple far beyond what her doting eyes can see.

When their worlds begin to unravel, their souls are pulled into a surreal, subconscious descent—where memories blend with illusion,
time folds into itself, and lives once lived rise to the surface.

What emerges is not just the unraveling of one man’s mind, but a blinding revelation: that every choice casts a shadow that we carry from one life to the next.

That power, without awareness, breeds quiet devastation.

And our stories—spoken or not—bind us in spiraling patterns across generations, and even lifetimes.

Told through lyrical, dreamlike prose, A Shadow Called Sunshine is a psychological and spiritual reckoning— a mirror reflecting the shadows we all carry, and the karmic imprint of the pain we refuse to face.

This is not a story of survival.

It’s a story of consequence that explores the path from self-sabotage to self-sovereignty.

And it dares to ask:

What if self-sabotage casts shadows beyond the edges of this lifetime?

A Shadow Called Sunshine is a haunting psychological novel that explores the allure of narcissism, the rippling impact of abuse and the soul life journey that connects us all—even beyond the constraints of our current reality.

Told through dreamlike prose and a surreal, poetic lens, this story follows the spiral staircase timeline of three trauma tethered souls. A woman who trifles with the sharp knife of self sabotage, the man who wants to save her and the monster who never saw himself as the villain.

Summer love cuts to the bone.
I didn’t choose to attend Summer’s Royal Academy, an elite school full of vicious Fae. I never wished for an arranged marriage to a nasty shadow prince.
I especially never wanted to meet Aidan Summers. He was the most beautiful man I’d ever laid eyes on—the one who broke my heart beyond repair. Our relationship was forbidden, and yet I couldn’t resist his fire.
A century later, I have it all—money, fame, power—but none of it matters. I’m still his. And when I receive an invitation to sing at his wedding, a wicked part of me rises to the occasion.
Has he really forgotten about me? Or does he want to destroy what’s left of my soul?

It’s part of an interconnected series with a story arc spanning across multiple books, but each book will feature a different romance and a new couple.

BOOK TOUR: The Archer’s Amulet by S.A. Heiden

We love a good fae fantasy so we’re thrilled to share The Archer’s Amulet with you this week!

The Archer’s Amulet: A Fae Reverse Portal Fantasy (The Lumen Legacy Series Book 1)

Publication Date: June 6, 2024

Genre: Fantasy/ Portal Fantasy

✨Strong FMC
✨Broody MMC
✨Fae Magic
✨Forbidden Love
✨Cozy Forest Cabin
✨Reverse Portal Travel

What happens when a fae needs a mortal’s help?

Lucy refuses to accept the life the Fae males in her family have planned for her. She has no interest in smiling coyly to a Fae Lord and wearing fancy dresses when she’d rather be elbows deep in sawdust, creating highly sought after Elderwood bows and arrows for her family business. Unfortunately, her father disagrees and the wedding invitations are already made.

There’s only one way to prove to her family that she’s more than a pawn to be married off: Lucy sets off for The Elderwood on her own. But when the amulet she uses to travel between realms runs low on magic, she’s stuck in the mortal world. What’s worse, her usual contact is gone and she has to convince his handsome but jaded grandson, Micah, to help her while she waits for the next full moon.

Without her trusted friend, the path to The Elderwood is in danger of being destroyed, and with it, Lucy’s hopes of a future she can create for herself. If she can’t convince Micah to help her, the arranged marriage would be a sealed fate.

COVER REVEAL: Inside the Penalty Box by S.L. Sterling

Genre: Sports Romance
Tropes: Hockey Romance; One Night Stand; He Falls First; Forbidden Love 
Release Date: May 24, 2024

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.
The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.
A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.
We’re about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.



S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs. 
An avid reader all her life, S.L. Sterling dreamt of becoming an author. She decided to give writing a try after one of her favorite authors launched a course on how to write your novel. This course gave her the push she needed to put pen to paper and her debut novel “It Was Always You” was born. 

When S.L. Sterling isn’t writing or plotting her next novel she can be found curled up with a cup of coffee, blanket and the newest romance novel from one of her favorite authors on her e-reader. Her favorite authors include Kendall Ryan, Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Lauren Blakely, Alessandra Torre and Willow Winters. 

In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking, sunny destinations, spending quality time with family and friends and of course reading.

RELEASE BLITZ: Own Me by K.A. Tucker #ForbiddenLove

Own Me by K.A. Tucker is now live! 

Own Me is Book Five in the highly addictive forbidden romance The Wolf Hotel series.

Eight months ago, I was a naive, small-town farm girl nursing a shattered heart. Then hotel billionaire Henry Wolf picked me up off the ground (literally), and my entire life changed.
Now, I live in a luxurious Manhattan penthouse, and I’m starting my first company while planning a beautiful wedding to the man of my dreams.
I knew these first months would bring plenty of drama. I expected the savage media attention surrounding our engagement, and I braced myself for Mama’s theatrics about the wedding.
But nothing could have prepared me for the big secret that just stormed through our front door, altering the course of our future.

Own Me should be read after Tempt Me, Break Me, Teach Me, and Surrender to Me.
