Release Blitz: Indiscretion by Vi Keeland

Title: Indiscretion

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 13, 2025

BLURB

He's her boss. She's his greatest temptation.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.

The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.

When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.

Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.

Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.

We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.

When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.

I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.

Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?

Book Review: Cross My Heart by Megan Collins

If you’re into family drama with a dark, twisty edge, Cross My Heart by Megan Collins is a must-read. It’s one of those books that keeps you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page, thanks to its intricate plot and emotionally charged themes. Collins masterfully blends suspense with the raw complexities of sisterhood, loyalty, and the lingering effects of trauma.

The story centers on two sisters, a childhood promise, and a web of secrets that threatens to unravel everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other. The central theme is about how promises and loyalty, especially those made in youth, can shape the trajectory of a person’s life. I found the exploration of sisterhood particularly compelling. The bond between the sisters is intense and multifaceted—it’s not always warm and fuzzy, but it feels incredibly authentic. Collins does a great job of capturing the complicated love and resentment that can coexist in familial relationships.

One of the highlights of this novel is its character development. The sisters feel so real and deeply flawed, which only makes them more relatable. I was especially drawn to their struggles with trust, both in themselves and in each other. Collins doesn’t shy away from diving into their insecurities, fears, and the ways their shared past has shaped their identities. These layers of complexity made me root for them even when I didn’t agree with their choices.

The pacing of the story is another strength. It moves along at a steady clip, with just the right balance of slow-burning tension and unexpected twists. There’s a palpable sense of unease that builds as the story unfolds, and Collins has a way of making you second-guess every character’s motives. I appreciated how the twists weren’t overdone—they felt organic and believable, which kept me fully engaged.

One aspect of Cross My Heart that stood out to me is its exploration of the long-term effects of trauma. Without giving too much away, the book delves into how the sisters’ shared experiences in childhood continue to haunt them as adults. It’s a poignant reminder of how the past can shape our present and the importance of facing those buried emotions to truly heal. I found myself reflecting on these themes even after I finished reading.

Another element that adds depth to the story is Collins’ writing style. Her prose is both lyrical and precise, which enhances the emotional weight of the narrative. She paints vivid scenes that make you feel as if you’re right there with the characters, experiencing their joys and sorrows firsthand.

The ending, while satisfying, leaves you with plenty to think about. It’s not tied up in a neat little bow, but that’s what makes it so impactful. Collins invites readers to reflect on the lengths we’d go to for the people we love and the boundaries we might cross in the name of loyalty.

Overall, Cross My Heart is a gripping read with a perfect mix of suspense and emotion. If you enjoy domestic thrillers with well-drawn characters and thought-provoking themes, this book won’t disappoint. Megan Collins has crafted a story that’s both entertaining and deeply moving—a testament to her skill as a storyteller.

Take a sneak peek at INDISCRETION.

You know you want to...

"What the fu¢k!”

I jumped out of bed, reaching for my right eye.

A dog barked and a woman’s high-pitched voice screeched, “I have a gun!”

Quickly forgetting the pain radiating from my face, I held my hands up. “You don’t need a gun. I’m not armed, and I’m not going to hurt you. I’m holding my hands in the air.”

A light suddenly flicked on, and I found a five-foot-nothing woman wearing hot pink lacy pajamas, holding a dog that couldn’t weigh more than five pounds. The runt was in one hand while she pointed something at me with the other.

Is that…a pair of readers? My brows knitted. “Is that your gun?”

She waved the glasses around. “I’m a green belt, too!”

My eyes widened. “What is that, like two up from white? Did you take three lessons?”

The blonde’s eyes narrowed. “Leonardo bites.”

As if on cue, the dog growled and showed me his gums. But that was all he seemed to have in his mouth. I pointed. “Does that thing even have teeth?”

The woman scowled. “Shut up. He has a few, and periodontal disease is prevalent in chihuahuas. What do you want from me, and why are you wearing only a towel?”

“Uhh… Because I just showered. And what I want is a good damn night’s sleep, for starters. What the hell are you doing here? I rented this place.”

“You rented this place? I don’t think so. I rented this cabin.”

All of a sudden, the bone beneath my eye started to throb. I reached up and felt the top of my right cheek. “What the hell did you hit me with?”

She dropped the glasses on the bed and flexed her hand open and shut. It looked as red and swollen as my face felt. “Oww. My knuckles really hurt.”

What the fuck is going on here? “You must be in the wrong cabin, lady. How did you get in?”

She pressed on her right hand and winced. “I have the code.”

She rattled it off, and that was the right code, alright. I remembered because it was my ex’s birthday in numeral form—July 13. “Who gave it to you?” I asked.

“The Airbnb host, Amy.”

I had no clue who I’d rented from, but this woman sounded pretty believable. Maybe I was in the wrong cabin? I could’ve sworn the number on the house said fifty. Could I possibly be on the wrong block? Come to think of it, I hadn’t used the code to get in. Though inside looked just like the pictures online…

“Is this Fifty Dogwood Lane?”

“Yes.”

I shrugged. “Well, then this is the place I rented.”

“That’s impossible, because I rented it.” She shook her hand again. “Dammit. My knuckles really hurt.”

“Let me see them.”

“Are you a doctor?”

“No.”

“Then why would I let you see my hand?”

“Because I used to box. I’ve broken my knuckles on faces more times than I can count.”

She hesitated. But at least she put down the toothless dog. The little shit started barking as soon as his feet hit the mattress. He jumped from the bed and ran around me, growling. He wasn’t much of a threat since he didn’t have teeth, so I didn’t move. Though as it turned out, you don’t need teeth to grab things.

Like a towel.

And yank.

And now I was standing buck-ass naked, with my junk on full display.

The woman covered her eyes. “Oh my God!”

Excited? We are too!
