Must Read Indie Author April Releases
Hello friends and lovers!
Welcome to the second monthly blog post of brand new romance releases you should be reading by indie authors.
All books are in the romance category, but can have various sub genres. April has been a month I’ve been waiting for since like… at least half a year now. Burning Little Secrets debuts this month and I cannot wait until it goes live.
Along with Burning Little Secrets are many other amazing romance reads coming out this month between the beginning of the month and then the end of the month.
As an indie author myself, oftentimes we find ourselves overwhelmed with the entire process of marketing, writing, platform building, admin work. We’re wearing multiple hats, all the while hoping we can find a way to market our books.
Along with the book, you’ll be able to read the book blurb, learn about the author, and have easily accessible links to purchase.
I’ll be posting the list at the beginning of each month or the end of the month.
Books will be in order of release date.
Enjoy! (If you love this, please comment below so I know to continue this type of content for you.)
Trope: Hidden Identities
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: April 1st, 2021

-Beth-
It started with tragedy.
And secrets.
Hidden truths that refused to stay buried have come out to chase me. Now I’m on the run, living under a blanket of constant fear, pretending to be someone I’m not. And if I’m not really me, how am I supposed to know what’s real?
-Angelo-
Watch the girl.
It was supposed to be a simple assignment. But like everything else in this family, there’s nothing simple about it. Not my task. Not her fake name. And not my feelings for her.
But Beth is mine now.
So when the monsters from her past come out to play, they’ll have to get through me first.
***Sin Too is book two of the Sin Series but can be read as a standalone.

About the Author
I live in Minnesota. Born, raised, and still residing. I currently live just outside the Twin Cities with my husband and our herd of boxers. I spend an unhealthy amount of time with my face buried in books, either reading or writing. And if I'm not nose deep in text, or harassing my dogs, (and it's not the dead of winter) you can probably find me playing with my plants, pretending I know how to garden. Even if my yard is a hot-flowery-mess, at least the bees are happy! If you've gotten this far, THANK YOU for giving me a chance to entertain you! Please find me @sjtillyauthor where I'll be stumbling around on Instagram or search me out on the ol' FaceBook. XoxoX

Julia
When my best friend Eve invited me to visit her and my dad back home in North Carolina, I hesitated. My wedding with Robbie was only a week away, and our rocky relationship was already on edge. Even though it was a bad time to go back, I couldn’t resist the chance to visit my best friend—both to sort out my own feelings and escape from Robbie’s increasingly controlling behavior.
Never could I have imagined how this quick trip and an innocent night of freedom could have spiraled out of control. Meeting Nathan wasn’t supposed to happen, and I definitely wasn’t supposed to kiss him. But he was so kind and sexy, and it was so nice to feel wanted for once. But, as soon as I came to my senses and ran from our kiss, I bumped into the one person I never expected. My trip away is now a harbor of secrets, created by those close to me, and my new found taste for freedom.
Nathan
When I saw Julia watching me at the bar, I felt something I hadn’t felt in years. When I kissed her, I knew she was meant to be mine. But this Robbie guy she was with, he seemed to have some pull over her, something I couldn’t understand. I hated how he treated her, and I knew she deserved better.
So, when she offered me the time she had left, I decided to take it, showing her the side of freedom she only dreamed of. Our connection, our chemistry—it was undeniable. I wanted her to leave Robbie; I wanted her to be with me. But, when it came down to it, what I really wanted was for her to be happy. But could I keep her close while keeping my demons at bay? The things I’ve done, the person I once was, and all my little secrets. I’ll fight to keep her home, to make her mine, even if it takes a little naughty convincing.

Trust.
Love.
Family.
I’ve never much cared that my circle was small, but when it becomes clear that there are only a handful of people I can fully trust, my world shifts yet again. The only people I have are my guys, my family and my best friend. Anyone else is a liability.
I went from viewing others as background noise, to wondering if they’re going to become an enemy.
Rogue Angels have spent centuries unjustly tipping the scales between good and evil without being caught. And now that they have, chaos and war may be the only way to right the balance.
Do you know what happens to Angels who betray the balance? Me neither, but we’re about to find out.
*This is a reverse harem series where FMC ends up with 3 or more guys. Mature content not advised for anyone under 18.*

College was supposed to be the start of something new ... and boy, was it!
I saw my college experience in my head: studying for my dream job in one of the big 5 publishing houses, hanging out with my friends, being there for my sister and enjoying my new dorm room ... but nothing would’ve prepared me for my new dorm neighbor.
Blue eyed, six foot pain in my butt!
You think I’m kidding? Ha!
Well let me tell you:
1. He plays his music too loud and turns it up when I try to study.
2. He steals my favorite booth at the local diner.
3. He purposefully chases away my dates.
And what’s worse?
4. One drunken night of weakness leads me to getting knocked up by him.
Try having a baby with someone you hate, I dare you.
