Wedding planner Kelsey McKenna is just a few hours away from wrapping up her latest job: a destination wedding in the charming, colonial Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende—until a bridesmaid collapses during the ceremony and turns the celebration into a crime scene. When the bride’s sister is arrested for murder, the demanding mom insists that Kelsey fix the matter at once. And although Kelsey is pretty sure that’s not in her contract, career-killer. Before she can leave Mexico and get back to planning weddings, Kelsey must deal with stubborn detectives, a rekindled romance, and late-night death threats in this smart, funny cozy mystery debut.

Made To Break: Boys of Lockridge by @ashlynnauthor 🚨

🔗 Limited Time $1.99 Preorder: https://a.co/d/a6BvR6H

🔗 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘂𝗽: https://forms.gle/45Rg8xrZWwdKLN4G7

📢 Release Date: April 2026

Blurb:

They didn’t want her gone.
They wanted her ruined.

Rowyn learned early how to survive by staying invisible.
Quiet. Careful. Forgettable.

But at Lockridge, invisibility is an invitation.

They see her softness as something to press into.
Her body as something to comment on.
Her silence is consent.

What starts as cruelty turns ritualistic.
What should break her begins to change her.

Because Rowyn is done begging to be left alone. And the boys who made her their game are about to learn something dangerous.

She was never made to bend. She was made to break something back.

⚠️ Dark College Bully Romance
⚠️ Psychological Torment
⚠️ Obsession, power imbalance, and unforgivable MMC’s

The past they buried …became the future they couldn’t resist.

Beneath Her Sins from @sk_pryntzauthor

What to expect…
Self ouchie MMC/FMC
False Prophet
Yakuza
Female Chastity belt
Seduce a priest.
Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned
There will be tears
Familiar friends

Jedidiah:
I was supposed to walk away clean.
One dead man. One tempting woman.
And a whole lot of blood on my hands.
I never asked to be her savior. I damn sure wasn’t looking to be a priest. But penance tastes better than prison, and hiding in a collar kept my past where it belonged—six feet under.
That is…until she showed up.
In my church.
On her knees.
Now the woman I saved is playing the saint, whispering scripture while dragging hell back to my doorstep. I recognize her but I can’t prove she’s the devil sent to damn me. But my body can. Every taunt of her wicked words pulls me deeper.
The worst part?
I want her to ruin me.

Sayuri:
He was my salvation.
And my destruction.
He killed my husband and vanished, leaving me to take the fall.
For years, I dreamed of finding him. Not to thank him.
To burn him. Break him. Watch him bleed like I have all these years.
Now I have found him again, preaching sermons in some forgotten little church, while hiding behind stained glass and God’s mercy like it could save him. I’ve joined the flock. Become his disciple. Learned every way to tempt a priest into sin.
But I wasn’t ready for this man.
Not his hands.
Not his guilt.
Not the way he says my name like a confession.
I came here to destroy him, to show him the darkness he thought he could outrun…so why am I feeling the burn of the flames meant for him?
