Duality
The Archers Book 1
by Sunny Hart
Genre: Why Choose RH Romance
Executive assistant
by day… vigilante by night…
Evelyn Harper lives a double life. By day, she is the
unassuming assistant to the Stone brothers and their best friend, efficiently
managing their security firm’s operations. By night, she runs the Archers, a
vigilante organization delivering justice for those that the legal system
fails.
For years, she’s successfully kept her two lives separate,
using the information she’s privy to at the security firm to save more lives
with the Archers. But when a threat targets her men, Evelyn’s two worlds
collide. Evelyn must reveal her true identity and harness all her skills and
resources if she’s going to keep them alive.
But when the four men discover her betrayal, will they let
her help them or will they turn her and her organization over to the very
corrupt system that Evelyn fights?
Duality is the gripping first book of three in The Archers
series, full of action, intrigue, and romance as Evelyn fights to protect her
loved ones and uphold her brand of justice. It is a MFMMM slow burn
contemporary romance with dark themes but is not a dark romance. If you love
strong female characters and a harem that adores their FMC, this is the book
for you!

The slower pace is exactly what my burned-out brain needs. I’ve even made a few friends—including Weston Smith, a new player for the Ice Breakers hockey team who shows up when I need him most.
A local crisis draws me in, and suddenly I’m more involved than I ever planned. Maybe it’s the fresh air, or maybe it’s Weston. I came here planning to leave… but now, I’m not so sure.
Weston
Maple Falls is my fresh start—new team, new town, and a chance to prove myself. I didn’t expect to get wrapped up in this community so fast—or to fall for a certain city girl.
Fiona is bold and energetic, and I’m drawn to her more every day. When she’s pulled into a town-wide crisis, I don’t hesitate to help.
Maple Falls isn’t just where I play hockey—it’s starting to feel like the place where my future truly begins.
***
Soulmates and Slapshots is part of the Love in Maple Falls sweet hockey romcom multi-author series. In this slow burn, soulmate romance, a charming city girl meets a nice guy who falls first. Set in a small town with all the chemistry, but none of the spice.
Welcome back to Maple Falls—the small town where hockey players fall in love! This is a multi-author series of seven full-length books that could be read as standalones, but we think you’ll enjoy them best in order.
Wow. That sounded like the worst pickup line ever, and I immediately regret saying it.
Before I can excuse myself, she turns around and gives me a curious look.
“No. At least I don’t think so,” she says. “Is Maple Falls even big enough to get lost in?”
I laugh. “That’s a good question.”
Why did I even say that? I’ve only been in town a short time, so I wouldn’t be able to help if she needed it.
“Honestly, I’m trying to decide what to do next,” she says. “I’m not used to having so much free time on my hands.”
“I wouldn’t know,” I admit. “What’s free time?”
She gives me a casual smile. “So what recommendations can you give a Maple Falls visitor?”
I knew it. She didn’t seem like a local.
I raise my eyebrows. “Well, I probably won’t be much help since I just arrived in town myself.”
She smiles. “Ah, another new person. That’s a relief because I’m assuming everyone else in this town already knows each other.”
“Most likely,” I agree. “But you’re not the only newbie, so don’t worry.”
“What brought you to Maple Falls, Washington?” she asks.
“Work,” I reply. This is the truth. I just leave out the hockey part, and I’m not sure why.
She flashes a slight smile. “That’s a good reason.”
I’m trying not to stare, but this woman is stunning. So flawless it can’t be ignored. And it’s obvious she has a confidence and openness that instantly draws people in.
“And while we’re on the subject, what made you come to this booming metropolis?” I ask, before she catches me staring.
A flash of amusement spreads across her face. “I’m visiting my aunt, and I actually left a booming metropolis to come here.”
“Really? Where?”
“New York.”
Now it all makes sense—she has a city girl vibe. She’s confident, polished, and a little bit mysterious.
“Ah, the city that never sleeps. It’s a great place,” I say. “One of my favorites for sure.”
She nods slowly. “It is. But there’s something special about this little town too.”
“I agree,” I say. “I moved here from Tennessee. Not quite as fast-paced as New York, but more thrilling than Maple Falls.”
She lifts an eyebrow. “I don’t know…I’ve heard Maple Falls isn’t as sleepy as people think.”
“Really?” I ask, leaning in a little.
She lowers her voice dramatically, even though the only other people nearby are across the street. “I heard there might be a town scandal happening right now.”
“Ooh, now that’s interesting.”
“Yes, it is,” she says with a playful smirk. “And they even have their own professional hockey team.”
I laugh. “Yes, I’m familiar with the Ice Breakers.”
She tilts her head, narrowing her eyes at me with curiosity. “Hockey fan?”
I shrug, unable to hide the grin pulling at my lips. “More than a fan. I play on the team.”
Her eyes widen. “Wait—seriously?”
“Weston Smith, defense,” I say, offering my hand. I’m not sure why I added my player position, but it doesn’t matter now. Maybe she likes hockey?
She takes my hand and grins. “Fiona Hale. And wait until I tell my aunt. She’s going to lose her mind when she hears this—she’s a die-hard fangirl of your team.”
I chuckle. “We love our fans. I’m sure I’ll meet her sooner or later.”
She studies me for a moment, clearly still processing. “So, you’re a hockey player.”

Publication date: June 24th 2025
Genres: Adult, Magical Realism
She only came back to settle a will, but her roots ran deeper than she bargained for…
Mabel Morrison considers herself fortunate to have a thriving art business at only twenty-five years old. After the sudden passing of her grandmother, Mabel leaves her mother, her only living relative, in Columbus, Ohio and finds herself back in Painted Creek, North Carolina to settle her grandmother’s affairs.
The longer she is stuck in town, the more she learns about her grandmother’s legacy and the family that came before her. As she starts to piece together a found family of her own, Mabel begins to embrace her other natural gifts within her paintings that she’s been denying for years. Suddenly, she imagines what life could be like in Painted Creek surrounded by friends, magic, and love. The future seems brighter than ever as she slowly begins to stray further from the path that was laid out for her when she was young.
But her newfound confidence is shaken when her new friendships are tested, setting off a chain of events that could change the course of Mabel’s life forever. Has Mabel inherited more than she bargained for? Or will she find the inner strength to embrace all of her gifts and hold on to everything she has never let herself want?
The alarm clock crashed to the floor as I smacked at it for the last time. “I’m leaving that damn thing here,” I grumbled to myself. I felt crazy for having such strong feelings about an inanimate object, but I hated that alarm clock. Sitting upright and running my hands down my face, I felt more like a zombie than a human girl. Woman.
Whatever.
Unfortunately, I’d missed the off button for the alarm and the clock’s fall from the table hadn’t broken it or ripped the plug from the wall, so it was still happily wailing away from under the bed. And it didn’t sound muted. Oh no, now it somehow seemed to reverberate through the entire room as if the under bed acoustics were the perfect amplifier for my morning agony. Flipping myself over the edge of the bed and hanging upside down, I yanked the cord from the wall and huffed in relief at the sudden silence. Calling on core strength I absolutely did not have, I wriggled upright and collapsed back into the pillows.
In the sudden stillness, I took a moment to really look around my bedroom in the apartment I’d had for the last five years, the first place I could call my own when I moved out of my mother’s house. Looking at it now though, I wondered if I really could call it mine. I paid the rent and other bills, sure, and maintained my responsibilities, and theoretically made all the decisions. But I felt no sense of “me” in this space. The walls were a dull builder grade beige, as was the carpet. Hell, even my comforter was a slightly darker shade of beige. The only pop of personality in the room was my dark purple sheets, and even they were hidden away when the bed was made.
My mother had helped me choose the apartment, and all the things in it, when she finally conceded to my desire to move out at twenty years old. I had been financially self sufficient for a couple years, I was lucky in that way. My painting business had really taken off right after high school, and in a mere year I had acquired a nice little nest egg that continued to grow while I still lived at home.
I shook my head, not wanting to mentally relive the fights we’d had when I told her I wanted a place of my own. But I couldn’t help but wonder as I looked around my bedroom if this is what I would have chosen for myself. Even the artwork, now carefully wrapped up and ready to move, was bland and muted in color. Neutral. Safe.
I glanced back over at the offending alarm clock. My mother had even gifted me that alarm clock, saying that productive people got their day started early. “You started this.” I narrowed my eyes, pointed at it, and huffed. I realized the clock probably sounded louder because the room was now almost completely empty, and therefore echoey, not because the electronic device was actually yelling at me.
After one more second of reflection, and one more glare at the clock, I squared my shoulders and got out of bed. “No time like a new beginning to change your interior design choices. And I’m more productive at night anyway.” With that, I headed to the shower, vowing to leave the alarm clock and all things beige behind in the move.

Book Reviews
The story of Evan
Sinclair that began in Wages of Empire continues in Crossroads
of Empire. Having survived German artillery, poison gas, and friendly fire
in helping to turn the tide of the war in its first months, Evan barely
survives his hospital ship's sinking by a German U-boat. Left with amnesia, he
no longer remembers who he is.
Likewise, Evan doesn't
recall that, despite the European war, the true source of conflict is in
Ottoman Palestine, since it's from Jerusalem's Temple Mount that Kaiser Wilhelm
II dreams to rule as Holy Roman Emperor over Arabian oil reserves and the Suez
Canal.
The Middle East Front
soon explodes with pitched battles at Suez and Gallipoli as Evan's story is
interwoven with those of historical figures Gertrude Bell, T. E. Lawrence,
Winston Churchill, Faisal bin Hussein, and Chaim Weizmann.
During his quest to
recover his memory Evan will discover far more: love for his father, grief for
his late mother, and hidden secrets of his bloodline-an unbroken lineage that
stretches back to the Crusades and will determine his future role in the Great
War.
"Cooper
masterfully crafts a novel that intertwines vivid characters and complex
themes, blending historical fiction with elements of mystery and intrigue. This
unique combination makes it a must-read for fans of both genres."
—BookTrib Review
"In page after
page of Crossroads of Empire, I was thrilled with how the plot widened with
various actors added as history unfolded one step at a time. The book picked up
speed as it moved along with rising tension as disparate subplots charged forward
to the conclusion. I loved it! Bravo!"
—Sylvia Boorstein, PhD, bestselling author, teacher of
Buddhist Insight Meditation, and co-founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center
"Crossroads of
Empire dives into the tumultuous waters of World War I, presenting a
thrilling narrative enriched by a blend of historical and fictional characters.
Cooper's writing is compelling and richly detailed, offering a tapestry of
scenes that bring early 20th-century conflicts vividly to life."
—Literary Titan Review
