For your Summertime reading pleasure:
The Mystic Beach Fantasy Rockstar Romances
Latest Release — Jan. 6, 2023: 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?

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 despicts 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.

The author will donate 10% of the royalties from the sale of this book to Solas Bhríde, a Christian Spirituality Centre in Kildare, Ireland, which welcomes “people of all faiths and of no faith, to know and be inspired by Saint Brigid, whose legacy is ever more relevant for our world today.”
