WHEN HE LOVES- Coming Soon!

Posted in Latest News, Romance on February 22nd, 2026 by Cynthia Eden

Book news! I’ve got a new “Protector & Defender Romance” coming your way! WHEN HE LOVES will be here on 03.26.26.

He’s been in love with her since the day they met.

Love at first sight? Sure, you can call it that. Love, obsession, whatever. All Nash Quinn knows is that from the instant he met Delaney Daniels, he fell for her. Hard. Completely. And now…she’s marrying someone else. A man who most people believe to be a prince charming, but Nash knows the guy is a real nightmare, and there is no way–no way–that he can let his Delaney go through with the marriage. Because as soon as she’s married, she’ll be dead.

So he has to kidnap the bride.

It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Nash rides in on his motorcycle, and when the priest asks if anyone objects, Nash steals the bride. Only…Delaney comes far too willingly. She jumps on the back of his motorcycle, and they ride off into the night…even as the groom gives chase.

She’s in trouble, and the man who once shattered her heart is the only one who can help her.

Right before her wedding, Delaney found out just how dangerous and evil her groom-to-be truly was. Desperate and afraid, she’d sent a frantic text to her former best friend, Agnes, hoping for some miracle. She never expected her miracle to come in the form of Agnes’s brother Nash–gorgeous, big, powerful Nash. He storms the wedding and carries her out into the night. Yes, she’s heard the whispers about him. She even has secretly suspected that he might work for the government, but when she learns that big, bad Nash is actually a spy…A spy who just saved her from certain death…everything changes.

The CIA wants to use her. Nash just wants to protect her.

He has to hide Delaney. Has to whisk her away and stay close to her every moment. But emotions and needs that Nash has held in check for far too long are pushing past his control. This is finally his chance–his chance to have Delaney, and Nash is not going to let her slip through his fingers again.

He’ll be the one to put a ring on her finger. And to set a trap for her ex.

Another wedding? Sure, why not? When the CIA wants to nab her ex, Delaney is all-in on the plan. Even if that plan means traveling to Vegas, fake marrying the hot and brooding Nash, and risking everything to bring down a killer. She can do this…but, she may just lose her heart to Nash along the way. Her heart, and potentially, her life.

Author’s Note: He’s stealing a bride, and he will not give her back. Nash has been in love with Delaney for years, and he is not going to let anyone hurt her. He’ll step from the shadows, he’ll protect her, and he’ll finally claim the woman who owns his soul. If anyone tries to get in his way, he’ll show them just how dangerous a real protector can truly be…

SLAY ALL DAY – Free!

Posted in Latest News, Romance on February 14th, 2026 by Cynthia Eden

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Since Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day are side-by-side this year, I wanted to give you a gift that combines the elements of both worlds (a bit of monster action and love!) So…

This Valentine’s Day, you can slay…with one very sexy monster hunter. Right now, you can get my paranormal romance, SLAY ALL DAY, for FREE at Amazon.

SLAY ALL DAY is the paranormal romance I wrote that was fully inspired by my love of Dean Winchester in Supernatural. The idea for the story? Well…what happens when a monster hunter falls for his prey? That one question lead me to write SLAY ALL DAY. And if you haven’t read this one yet, then I certainly hope you enjoy it for Valentine’s Day!

Compulsion – Top 5 Indie Favorite

Posted in Latest News, Romance on February 13th, 2026 by Cynthia Eden

I’m so excited to say that my new romantic suspense, COMPULSION, has been named at Top 5 Indie Favorite at Barnes and Noble!

They wake up hand-cuffed together in a serial killer’s lair…hardly the meet-cute of her dreams. But then again, her dreams are usually nightmares so…

Lily Gallo knows killers. She should, after all, because serial killers are her specialty. She’s the daughter of a notorious serial killer, and she’s made it her life’s work to study the brutal predators. And, recently, she’s been researching the offspring of serials. She’s looking for others who are just like she is. Her research has brought her into the life of reclusive billionaire Atlas Bennett. He’d refused her repeated requests for a meeting. She’d suspected he might be following in his father’s brutal footsteps. But now…

They’re both trapped, and they have to rely on each other for survival.

Atlas can’t believe it when he wakes up handcuffed to the beautiful and infuriating Lily. The woman thinks he’s as savage as his twisted father, but she has no clue what dark secrets he really holds. For the moment, though, escape is their priority. But once they get out of that hell, Lily will be his.  He’d warned her to stay away. Now, it’s too late. Her fate is sealed.

A killer is after them both. To survive, they have to trust each other. They also have to stay very, very close to one another…

Atlas knows that his reaction to Lily isn’t normal. The lust he feels is too strong, too consuming, but she calls to the primitive darkness within Atlas that he’s tried to hide from the rest of the world. He’s going to need that darkness because a killer is hunting him…and Lily. A predator who is intent on taking out the children of serial killers. Innocence and guilt doesn’t matter. Only survival does. The killer has uncovered Lily’s research, and he’s using it to track his prey. As each day passes, he’s also growing increasingly obsessed with Lily.

Being prey wasn’t on her agenda.

Lily’s mother is the most infamous female serial killer of modern times, and her mother passed on more than a few of her dangerous traits to Lily. Lily has no intention of being some helpless victim, but she will trap the killer who is on her trail. She’ll also stick close to Atlas because she knows he holds plenty of secrets. Fair enough. She’s got secrets, too. Atlas stirs a part of her that she has tried to fight her entire life. Wild, forbidden, and dangerous, he is a lover she can’t resist. He may just be the perfect partner for her…unless, of course, she turns out to be dead wrong about him.

Because some people carry darkness, some people carry sins…and there are some monsters that you never see coming, not until it’s far too late.
