About The Endgame:

Every girl with a brother grows up with one fundamental rule: his best friend is off limits. That’s one rule she longs to break when he crashes into her life.

Amelie Weston has been taking the safe path for as long as she can remember. Not disappointing her parents by pursuing the career she wants. And not pursuing the guy she’s been crushing on.

But she’s tired of being the good girl.

Her brother’s best friend is pushing her to stop being a people pleaser and open the bakery of her dreams. Little does he know he’s also at the top of the list of her heart’s greatest desires… and he’s making himself impossible to resist.

Levi Kingston fully intends to become a legend on the field as one of the best players ever. He must stay focused and work relentlessly toward his goal. He doesn’t have time for distractions… until he meets his best friend’s sister, and his well-laid plan is challenged.

Bad timing, responsibilities, and loyalty to her brother keep them apart. But the connection between them only grows stronger. Their feelings become impossible to ignore, and the fight against them is pointless.

Will they take a chance on love? Or waste an opportunity for long-awaited happiness?

This week’s Hook …

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
by Iris Blobel

He reached for his phone and saw he’d missed two calls from Teddy. Ignoring them for the moment, he scratched the back of his neck. He’d failed as a bed and breakfast host. In fact, he hadn’t been good at all. His simple task had been to ask Lani to fill in the guest book and grab a copy of her driver’s licence. He’d been in such a rush after struggling with the flat tyre and so taken aback by his body’s reaction to her. Reaction? It hadn’t been a reaction but surprise. In all honesty, he’d expected a middle-aged woman, although he had no idea why. Seeing Lani, who was probably in her early twenties, with some out-of-control red hair, and green eyes, had thrown him. Those emerald eyes that had followed his every move as he showed her around.

Goddamn it. He didn’t want to think of Teddy’s guest as attractive. Not to mention, one who was here to see his friend Toby.

Blurb:

The discovery of her mother’s diaries unravels a secret which sends Lani on a journey to New Zealand …

She lost her mother in an accident. Now, Lani Dekker is determined to meet the man who, according to her mother’s diaries, is her father. He’s not what she expected, a bit on the extravagant side, but she soon warms up to him, thanks no less to Dylan, her father’s neighbour. Despite her attraction to Dylan, she can’t figure out whether he’s a friend or foe.

Dylan Harper is merely going through the daily motions after his wife died in a ski crash. That is, until his life is turned upside down by the arrival of his neighbour’s daughter. Their attraction is instant, even more so when they wake up in the same bed after an earthquake. However, it’s her accusation that his interest in her involves her father’s money rather than their mutual magnetism that derails their newfound bond.

Will finding the truth about her parents be a chance for Lani and Dylan to overcome their differences?

I can finally reveal the new cover for ECHOES OF THE PAST (a Fermosa Bay Novel), which was created by the very talented Diane at dk-coverdesign I am really happy how it turned out and I hope you’ll like it, too.

When Connor Walsh, a business lawyer in London, receives news that his estranged father is terminally ill, he returns to Fermosa Bay, a little coastal town in Australia. With the memories of his childhood years tucked away in the back of his mind, he finds his father and kindergarten friends rallying around to remind him of the past. But he’s unprepared for the growing attraction he feels for Emily, and it doesn’t take long for Connor to feel regret that his life could have been so much different.

Emily Bradshaw has waited for over twenty years to see Connor again. And although he can’t remember her, let alone their first kiss, her childhood crush is still in full swing. Eager to pick up where they left off as children, she’s determined to enjoy the short time he is in Fermosa Bay, accepting her heart will break when he returns to his life in London.

Will the echoes of the past lure him into staying in Fermosa Bay?

Today’s Snippet

And finally, he told her the reason of his intrusion. “I own the house.”

It took her a beat to relay the information to her brain. “Excuse me?”

“I own the house,” he repeated.

Finding her moisturiser bottle, she held on to it as tightly as possible for the sake of holding onto something. She hoped there was going to be an end to this soon. She squared her shoulders and narrowed her eyes. “Not sure what you’re on about, but this house belongs to the late Mrs. Fielding.”

His lips quirked on one side. “I know. She was my grandmother.”

She gasped. “You… you’re—”

“I am indeed.”

Excerpt

His gaze darted around the room, searching for a distraction, and he targeted the notebook Jeanette set on the table.

“Any news on Thomas’ whereabouts?”

She followed his line of vision and lunged forward, fumbling to collect the pages, and she gathered them in her hands. “He might’ve gone to a close family friend’s house in New Hampshire that Tom and I visited every summer during our childhood.”

“Arctic Jack’s cabin?”

“Yes.” Jeanette clutched the notes close to her heart. “I tried to contact him, but he doesn’t check his email and uses a landline telephone.”

Conlin figured she refrained from providing the details. After all, he requested she keep him and Saoirse out of the loop. Although, that was before and now they were in the thick of it and made a promise. He appreciated her honoring his wishes, yet the crease between her eyebrows revealed the burden became too great. Not to mention Saoirse sharing their locations on social media and removing the artifact from Jeanette exacerbated her predicament.

“Did you discover anything else about the stones?”

Jerking her head back, she eyeballed him with an incredulous stare. “I’ve respected your boundaries and kept my findings as confidential information.”

“Ní scéal rúin é ó tá a fhios ag triúr é. An Irish Gaelic proverb, ‘It is not a secret after three people know it’. And if ya want to tell me…”

“Interesting saying. I like it.” Her contemplative demeanor brought an upward tilt to her mouth when she spoke.

Conlin adored the smile he brought to her face and quivered inside, thinking about the sadness he caused her a few hours ago. Jeanette’s grin faded, yet a glow lightened her skin and she grabbed the notepad.

In a frenzy, her gaze widened, and she drew a quick design. “Conlin, you’re brilliant.”

“Well…” He suppressed a smirk. Chances were slim that she used the term beyond the common phrase, but he enjoyed hearing her say it and a pleasant warmness distributed throughout his chest.

“Triquetra.” She jumped from her seat and showed him the sketch of the Celtic symbol. The triangular shape of three interlaced arcs. “When you referred to three people knowing a secret, I remembered the importance of three, and Saoirse pointing out the etching in the relic has prompted a theory.”

This week’s Hook …

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
by Iris Blobel

Dylan pinched the bridge of his nose and slid behind the wheel of his car, still confused by what had happened in the last twenty minutes. No doubt Lani Dekker was an interesting person. He shook that thought away. Interesting? How on earth was he able to make that judgement after only a few minutes of a chaotic conversation where lots had been implied and little had been said? Her reason for being here was to see Toby, and that in itself made her an interesting person. It was as simple as that. Plus, she had walked all the way from the main road and hadn’t once complained about her host being absent. Yes, she had been taken aback, but not annoyed. That made her interesting as well.

Blurb:

The discovery of her mother’s diaries unravels a secret which sends Lani on a journey to New Zealand …

She lost her mother in an accident. Now, Lani Dekker is determined to meet the man who, according to her mother’s diaries, is her father.

Today’s Snippet

As she reached for her underwear, the door opened. Jerking to a straight upright stance, ignoring the hammering in her chest, she stared for a second. A scream was stuck in her throat, almost choking her, she tried to let it out but in vain. Instinctively, she grabbed the soap and threw it at the person standing in the door.

The man didn’t budge.

She looked around, grabbed for her face washer, and threw that at him as well, even as she admitted to herself about the uselessness of the piece of cloth.

He caught it and a frown crossed his face. “Will you stop it?”

Finally able to, she shouted at the top of her voice. “Out! Get out!”

But he only cocked a lazy brow at her.

Holding on to the towel with one hand, she searched for something else to throw at him. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

He raised his other brow as well. “Me?”

Although the steady drumming of her heartbeat still pulsed in her ears, the initial scare inside her abated. Despite a startling tingle tiptoeing down her spine and worry washing over her, her feet remained rooted to the floor, because there was something about him that didn’t scream danger to her. “Can you see anybody else here?” There could be no mistaking the hard note of annoyance in her voice.

His gaze flicked down to her chest where it paused for a moment before their eyes met again. Or was he checking out her scar? Awareness came over her, and she wished she had something to cover it up with.

And finally, he told her the reason of his intrusion. “I own the house.”

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
by Iris Blobel

Was she going headfirst into a wall?

She shook the notion away. Everything was going to be fine, after all, he was her father.

Despite being exhausted, it took Lani a long time to fall asleep. So many things were going around in her head that her mind wasn’t able to calm. On top of that, every little noise in the house made her jerk and listen, resulting in a big lack of sleep.

Her emotions were going into overdrive. Yes, she finally was in New Zealand, however, an anxiety about meeting Tobias, her father, grew intensely within her.

Taking in a few long breaths, she reached for the light before searching for the photo of her mother and Tobias. It didn’t take long before she retrieved it from her jacket. She studied him and traced his face with her finger. The man next to her mother had dark curly hair, dark eyes, and a solid build. In her diary, her mother had described him as having chocolate brown eyes, thin lips, and dark chest hair.

Lani let out a soft snort. Clearly, she didn’t have the red hair from him, however, she could blame him for her wild curls.
