NEW RELEASE! The Wedding Album (Oct. 1, 2024)
"I can't praise this author enough. Aislinn Archer is the writing equivalent of a bard. Her stuff is beautiful. I find myself reading just for her beautiful, lyrical prose. But more than that, she can play your emotions like a master harpist. ... This story wraps up the love story with Hunter and Brighid so beautifully that you will want it to go on forever. I'm always astounded when I read one of these. I wish I was half the writer this author is!"
Two best friends. Two soulmates. After years of unrequited love and feelings denied, Brighid and Hunter are not only considerably more than “just friends,” they’re getting married! But the road to the altar won’t be a smooth one, with the rockstar groom dealing with emotional challenges and more than one guest who could turn the entire wedding upside-down. Can they make it through to their happily-ever-after?
Hunter
I should be the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Honestly, I probably am. But finally letting myself be happy with the woman I love — have always loved, in this life and at least one before — hasn’t meant I’m not still questioning whether I’m good enough for her. And now that my best friend is my fiancée, the idea that I could lose her is terrifying. I’m trying to heal the wounds of my past so I can be the husband she deserves. But having the guy who nearly stole her away from me show up for our wedding isn’t making that easy. Nor is an unwelcome presence from my past, who’s threatening to destroy it all.
Brighid
Hunter’s life may seem perfect from the outside, but as his lifelong best friend, and now his fiancée, I know better than anyone that his gregarious rockstar exterior hides deep emotional wounds and that the roar of appreciative audiences doesn’t drown out the voices of his past that tell him he’s not good enough. Hunt’s the only one who can heal those wounds. But, with my help, and that of the goddess I serve, I hope he’ll finally hear the truth: that he is worthy of all the love I can give, in this life and beyond.
"This book was certainly worth the wait! ... This story is like a completion and new beginning - We see Hunter and Brighid come full circle, and it perfectly sets up the next chapters of in the lives of the aMUSEd family."
— Kelly, Goodreads review
Mad World (Aug. 4, 2023)
"One thing I love with Aislinn Archer's books — her lyrical musical writing. She upped her game with this one by adding Rhys' chaos, yet with a steady drum beat, like his huge heart keeping the beat no matter how crazy the storm flails around him.."
"The connection between them was so deep, it was almost tangible through my Kindle. And, yes, it's sexy, too, in a way that was sheer perfection."
"I've read a lot of rockstar romances, and I think Aislinn is one of the best writers in this genre. ... She has an evident love for music and her knowledge isn't superficial. ... This series has an authenticity that a lot of books in this genre lack."
The drummer for chart-topping rock band aMUSEd has just met the literal woman of his dreams. But Lyric is already working overtime to keep life’s storms at bay, and Rhys “The Madman” Madigan is a complication she doesn’t need. Will the lingering presence of her late husband guide this witchy single mom to a forever love, or will her new man’s wild spirit put a permanent end to their love story, and possibly her career?
Lyric
I had it all once: a man I loved, a child who needed me, another who needed me even more, a job that gave me purpose. And then my world was shattered. It’s taken me three years, but I’ve managed to put the remaining pieces back together, building a life for the three of us. I have a village to help me do it, but it’s a never-ending, exhausting rollercoaster, haunted by memories of the husband I lost. The last thing I need to add to this ride is an adrenaline-junkie rockstar. But he won’t take no for an answer, and the more time I spend with him, the less I want him to.
Rhys
I saw her across a crowded room. No — I saw her in my dreams first. But from the moment our eyes met in our waking lives, I knew she was the one. Yeah, her life is complicated, and I’m not a likely candidate for a father figure for her kids when my inner child ends up on the outside more often than not. But there’s nothing complicated about how I feel about her, and there’s no limit to what I’d do to make her life better, if only she — and her late husband — will let me.
Mad World is a love-before-first-sight single-parent romance with an unexpected supernatural triangle twist, and a deep current of music and magic running throughout. It is the fifth book in the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series. It can be read as a standalone, but it is part of an interconnected series and is best read in series order.

Remind Me
Recipe for a Delicious Love Story:
• 1 spicy rockstar
• 1 salty chef
• a sweet first love
• a bitter break-up
• a dash of revenge, served cold
• a menu that's truly magical
— Mix well. Serve steaming hot in a quirky little beach town.
They’d dreamed of a future together, even at 17. But one crazy night, one huge mistake and the rising star of his rock-god life tore that future apart. Twelve years later, fate’s pulled them together again. Will she serve him bitter just desserts, or together will they cook up a magical second-chance romance?
Declan
This was supposed to be a vacation, a chance to rest, relax and record. But as soon as I saw it — this same town, the boardwalk, the quaint little restaurants… The worst thing I ever did came back to haunt me. I thought I was doing the right thing back then, leaving her. But finding her here again… Why does it feel like fate wanted to bring us back together? All I know is I can’t get her out of my head, now that I’ve seen her again. But then she’s never really been out of my head, or my heart. And it’s past time I told her that.
Callie
He didn’t leave me at the altar, but in some ways it was even worse. Never again, I said. So I locked my heart away and put my passion into my other dream. Twelve years later, my restaurant is on the cusp of real success. So why is it now that he shows up again, determined to tear down the walls I built to keep myself safe? He’s already throwing me off my game in the kitchen. But if he thinks I’m falling for that rockstar charm — again — he’s got a big surprise coming.
“Remind Me,” Book 4 in the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series, is a first-love, second-chance romance, with an enemies-to-lovers streak that goes just one way. Declan wants to make up for his past mistakes. Callie wants to make him pay. The way to a man’s heart might be through his stomach, but Callie’s uniquely qualified to serve up a tasting menu of retribution — heartache on a platter; pain à la mode; revenge, served cold. Can Declan reignite the flames of long-ago love and thaw Callie’s heart for good?

"Omg 5 stars are not enough! ... Prepare to feel all the feels. Beautifully written. This is a book that myself and I'm sure others will re-read many MANY times. ... As we get further into this series, each story just keeps getting better!"
"Each time I absorbed myself in the universe expertly fashioned by Aislinn Archer, I just want to stay at Mystic Beach forever."
The sea is vast, full of legends and mystery. Under its surface hide both beautiful treasures and dangerous secrets, as rockstar David Carter is about to discover.
David
My two great passions: the ocean and music. I could have been a marine scientist, but fate made me the bass player in one of the biggest bands on the planet. I’m living a life anyone would envy, but I'd rather spend my time on the beach than in the limelight, I've waited my whole life to find that one girl who gets me. Now that I have, will I risk it all to become part of her world?
Piper
Music is my life, and what I dream of is becoming a sound engineer, so my recording studio internship is an incredible opportunity — if I can actually convince my boss to give me a chance to do what I was born to do, despite my being a girl. Little did I know how complicated things would get when I met our latest clients. I may have found the love of my life, but sharing my deepest, most dangerous secrets with him could spell the end for us both.
"Smoke on the Water," Book 3 in the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series, blends Celtic mythology with steamy romance, suspense, music and magic to weave a fantastical tale of two souls tied together by fate and love. Thrust into danger as deadly secrets are revealed and dangerous adversaries threaten to tear them apart, can true love (and a little divine intervention) give them the strength to win their fight — for what's right, for each other and for their lives?

Dreams — Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romances Collection 1
His rise to rock-and-roll stardom pulled them apart. Can a magical summer at the beach bring them back together, or even closer than they were before?
Dreams is the first collection of the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series, bringing together for the first time Once Upon a Dream, Down to the Sea and Dream Weaver (Books 1, 1.5 and 2 in the series) with related bonus content not previously available for purchase or in Kindle Unlimited.
Collection I, Dreams, contains:
• Once Upon a Dream and Dream Weaver, which form a series-opening duet, telling the steamy best-friends-to-lovers story of rockstar Hunter and healer/priestess Brighid, whose visions of the past suggest the two were always meant to be more than “just friends.” Get to know Hunter’s band, aMUSEd, as they become superstars, then read straight through the cliffhanger at the end of Once Upon a Dream to a divinely inspired happily-ever-after in Dream Weaver. Or, pause in between and learn the secrets contained in the interstitial novel Down to the Sea before savoring that happily-ever-after.
• Down to the Sea, which offers answers to questions Hunter (along with the reader) was left in the dark about in Once Upon a Dream — what exactly happened between Brighid and Telltale Signs frontman Aedan “Mace” Mason while Hunter’s band was opening for the rock legends. Did Hunter again rebuffing Brighid’s affections drive her into the arms of the Sexiest Guy on the Planet™? It’s a super-steamy tale of personal growth, spirituality, and a growing friends-with-benefits relationship with the potential to become more.
Dreams also includes two bonus stories for the series:
• Good Golly Miss Molly, a prequel novella to both the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romances and the forthcoming Mystic Beach Mysteries contemporary fantasy sister series. Previously only available to Mystic Beacon newsletter subscribers, Molly and Logan’s story is a fast-burn fated-match romance with lots of supernatural and mythological surprises, as well as some insight into the happenings that make Mystic Beach so… odd.
• Here Comes the Sun, a sweet pre-prequel pre-romance that introduces Hunter and Brighid when they first met, at age 6. This short story — previously available only to newsletter subscribers — offers a peek into very beginnings of the close and loyal friendship that developed between the two, before his rockstar lifestyle and her visions threatened to tear them apart.
Dreams is the perfect read for those new to the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series, or for those who are ready to enjoy it all over again, with even more to explore.

Dream Weaver
His rise to rock-and-roll stardom pulled them apart. Can a magical summer at the beach bring them back together, or even closer than they were before?
Hunter: After years of touring, it’s time to go home. Not to NYC, but to my oceanside hometown. It’s a working vacation — rest, relaxation and recording. But the label has roped me into a reality dating show. My relationship with my best friend, Brighid, has been the definition of complicated, thanks to her “visions.” Putting her in the same room with my girlfriends is a recipe for disaster — one that just might need divine intervention for our relationship to survive.
Brighid: It’s been years since Hunter has come home. While he’s been off living his rockstar life, I’ve been building a life without my best friend by my side. Now that he’s back, I just want some time together. But his reality dating show is making things more complicated than I can handle, especially when I’m the only curvy girl in a room full of models. This has disaster written all over it, and I’m not sure my visions and the goddess I serve will be enough to save us.
Two best friends.
Two soulmates.
His rock-and-roll dream has come true, but his best friend has faded into the background. With Hunter and Brighid both in Mystic Beach for the summer, it’s a chance to reconnect, or for things to get even more complicated than they were. Will it mean the end of their lifelong friendship, or will it reawaken the connection that’s existed between them for much longer?
The second novel in the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series, "Dream Weaver" concludes the steamy best-friends-to-lovers romance that began in "Once Upon a Dream." It's time to return to Mystic Beach, where legendary status applies to more than the rockstars recording their new album there this summer, and where the friendship that helped spawn a soon-to-be-legendary band will need a helping hand of the divine variety if it's to survive a reality dating show. Hold onto your hats for a wild ride full of magic, music and romance, as Hunter and Brighid reconnect and discover whether they truly were meant to be more than "just friends."

Mystic Beach 1.5: Down to the Sea
"A brave, wonderful look at a woman finally allowing herself to love herself with the help of the Sexiest Man Alive."
— Kara's Books, via Amazon
Aedan “Mace” Mason is the lead singer of legendary rock band Telltale Signs and a fixture in the annual celebrity “Sexiest Guy” lists.
Brighid Weaver is the notoriously shy best friend of the guitar player for Telltale Signs opening act aMUSEd.
Mace and Brighid have nothing in common except a love of music — at least as far as anyone knows. But when a chance meeting brings the two together, secrets are discovered and sparks fly. What happens behind closed doors stays there, but this sneak-peek novel reveals what really happened when these two forces of nature collided.
Brighid: I’m the least likely woman to end up in the bedroom of the Sexiest Guy on the Planet. But my best friend, Hunter, just opened up for Mace Mason’s band, the legendary Telltale Signs, and when Mace and I met, we just clicked.
I’m shy and awkward. He’s charming and confident. And we’re both in love with other people. So why is this rock god so determined to take this curvy girl to Ireland with him? The benefits of our friendship are definitely mutual, but how far can things between us really go when we’ve both already given our hearts to someone else?
“Down to the Sea” is a steamy paranormal rockstar romance that tells the story known by only two of the characters in “Once Upon a Dream” and “Dream Weaver” — the first and second books in the Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romance series. It is an interstitial novel (Book 1.5 in the series) set between those two books and should not be read as a standalone. Anyone not wanting spoilers for portions of “Once Upon a Dream,” as well as those who’d prefer to remain in the dark about what actually happened “off-screen" in that book, may want to hold off on reading this one.
The story is told from Brighid’s point-of-view and reveals things Hunter, and the reader, were kept in the dark about during the course of events in “Once Upon a Dream.” It's full of secrets and private moments, and a little drama. It's also heavy on spirituality and personal growth, and depicts a deep and evolving friendship that holds the potential for something more. Steam factors are high for this story, Pack for cool Irish weather and one hot rockstar.
