Welcome back to the farmer's market!

Back in August I got the rights back to my six Superromance titles, and I've finally had a chance to get three of them back up for sale digitally.

ALL I HAVE, ALL I AM, and ALL I WANT originally released from 2014-2016, so I wrote these books about ten years ago (and I know a lot of you read them then!).

But just in case you haven't had a go at my funny, emotional small town farmers romance series, they're now all back up for sale pretty much everywhere.

(Hopefully early next year I will have my Bluff Series back up for sale as well).

Speaking of the Hudson Siblings Solutions series, book 3 just got its cover and it’s part of Intrigue’s new look. I love it! This one releases May 21, 2024.

Author copies for the first two books in my next Intrigue series (Hudson Sibling Solutions) have landed! The seven book series will come out in 2024-2025. I, of course, have already written all seven books and can tell you you’ll find some Carson & Delaney, Thompson brother, AND North Star cameos. You can preorder the first four books just about everywhere!

Cal FINALLY hit my Walmart (along with my Sicilian)! How’s the final Covert Cowboy Soldiers book treating you guys?

This was good to see—CLANDESTINE BABY on the PW list—since my Walmart still hadn’t put out the September category books this week 😞. Thank you, readers, for supporting this series!

Witchlore Book #2 is finally here! Kick off spooky season right with Rebekah Wilde and her icy immortal in BIG LITTLE SPELLS!

Ten years ago *yesterday*, I was offered my very first Harlequin contract (fun fact, the original ALL I HAVE was first for HarlequinE, followed very shortly thereafter by an offer for what became TOO CLOSE TO RESIST at Superromance).

A decade is long enough on its own, a decade in publishing is a *loooooong* time. A career in publishing involves a lot of factors, but no matter the factors, without readers it just doesn't happen. With every milestone, I'm reminded how grateful I am for all of you who are here, still buying and reading my stories--something that felt like a pipe dream back when I was writing my stories for an audience of me! To have had 73 books published, 45 of them with Harlequin, is something I'm very proud of. I love writing--it's why I write so much!

I wrote CLANDESTINE BABY almost two years ago, saying goodbye to the Thompsons and a series that consistently surprised me as I wrote it. But I *always* knew the kind of hero I wanted Cal to be. Like most of the heroines in this series, Norah was the one who surprised me! I loved following the twists and turns of the mystery that kept these two apart after their secret marriage (and who doesn't enjoy a little amnesia?) If you're a fan of epilogues, I think this might be one of my best! :)

I hope you'll pick this one up, OUT TODAY, and enjoy the end of another Intrigue series! And I hope you'll be back next year for my next series: Hudon Sibling Solutions. While it takes place in a new town: Sunrise, Wyoming, it's all in the world of Bent County, and at six books in, I've made sure to have a few little crossovers.

(I also have a couple other books out on shelves as of today.
-2-1 reprint of WYOMING COWBOY BODYGUARD with Kat Martin
-2-1 reprint of STONE COLD TEXAS RANGER with BJ Daniels
-A SON HIDDEN FROM THE SICILIAN (Harlequin Presents) written as Lorraine Hall)

If you haven't picked up SMALL TOWN, BIG MAGIC yet, it's $2.99 digitally today only! Just in time for BIG LITTLE SPELLS releasing on the 29th!

Today only, SMALL TOWN, BIG MAGIC (Witchlore Book 1), is 2.99 at online etailers. Just in time to get and read before book 2, BIG LITTLE SPELLS, comes out on the 29th!

Spotted at Walmart! The bonus story from me is Wyoming Cowboy Bodyguard.

Happy August! Cal's book hits shelves in just a few weeks!

Book 2 is getting closer!

Thank you, Library Journal! 🧙‍♀️❤️🧙‍♀️

Big Little Spells
by Hazel Beck
Graydon House. (Witchlore, Bk. 2). Aug. 2023. 304p. ISBN 9781525804724. pap. $18.99. PARANORMAL ROMANCE
After being exiled from her small town at age 18, Rebekah Wilde isn’t thrilled to be transported back in order to join forces with her sister and friends to save St. Cyprian, MO, from a dangerous magical threat. She’s grown and matured a lot over the last 10 years, but she’s being tested again by the same petty town leaders who wanted her banished a decade ago. Nicholas Frost, immortal witch and Rebekah’s tutor in all things magical, is still as hard on her now as he was all those years ago, challenging her to succeed in this new test of her magic and strength. Their complicated pasts have brought them together in unimaginable ways, forcing them both to think about what they truly mean to each other. Getting in the way, a coven of witches want Rebekah gone and magic-less again and are doing everything in their power to hurt Rebekah, Nicholas, and their friends.

VERDICT Beck’s second entry in the “Witchlore” series (after Small Town, Big Magic) brings back a charming cast of characters and offers a heart-rending story of personal strength, growth, and fated love.

What’s up on Intrigue deck? Cal’s book in August, then some milestones in my next series!

You can read an excerpt of Clandestine Baby here: https://preview.aer.io/9780369743503

And check out details for my new series here: https://www.nicolehelm.com/hudson-sibling-solutions/

Preorder is up for all three books!

Happy July! You can get the first book in my Covert Cowboy series, THE LOST HART TRIPLET, for $1.99 at any e-tailer this month!

www.nicolehelm.com/the-lost-hart-triplet

New cover alert! We’ve got one more Thompson brother left (Cal’s book, Clandestine Baby, Aug. 22nd), then a new series starts in January with COLD CASE KIDNAPPING (which takes place in Sunrise, Wyoming. Part of Bent County, naturally). This series is about a group of siblings whose parents mysteriously disappeared when they were young and were never found, so as adults they’ve created a cold case investigation group. I just finished writing book 5 in the series and so far I’ve managed some cameos from characters in all my Wyoming series (Carsons&Delaneys, Covert Cowboy Soldiers, and even some North Star Group). This series will be at least 7 books releasing across 2024 & 2025. Books 1 and 2 are already up for preorder!

Just stopped by my local Walmart to say hi.

If you (or maybe a friend) hasn’t picked up SMALL TOWN, BIG MAGIC in digital yet, it’s on sale for $1.99 until May 1st at all digital retailers! And while you’re at it, you can pre-order the next Witchlore installment, BIG LITTLE SPELLS, at BN for 25% off through Friday (4/28) (any format). (Use coupon code: PREORDER25) We’re only about four months away from Rebekah’s story hitting shelves!

It’s a triple release day for me! Jasper Creek Collection #4, Covert Cowboy Soldiers #5, and Secrets of the Kalyva Crown #1.

When I say I’ve got enough ideas to write a million books, I’m not lying! 😂

Last week to pick up Henry’s book on shelves before Dunne & Quinn’s turn next week!

Thank you readers for your support of this series! Hope you’re loving this reluctant hero and his makeshift family.

The Thompson brothers’ saga continues on the 25th with Dunne and Quinn in CASING THE COPYCAT. (And Cal’s book will finish up the series on August 22nd in CLANDESTINE BABY).

Pretties at Walmart.

SHOT IN THE DARK hits shelves today! Each story of this series has something in it that brought me so much joy while writing it (Carson-Delaney characters, living history, feisty little girls who steal the page, a serial killer inspired by old newspaper clippings, some amnesia and I-thought-you-were-dead moments ahead), but Henry’s book might be my favorite. When Sarabeth first appeared in ONE NIGHT STANDOFF, it was an image that came to me in the heat of the moment and it changed the course of Henry and Dunne’s stories in a way that makes me SO happy with these books and this series. You all know I LOVE a grumpy, aloof hero who thinks he’s bad news…even better when he finds all those hard edges and defenses crumbled by the likes of a little girl and her surprising mother. I hope you guys fall in love with these three like I did!

If you like a little romance, a little living history, a lot of suspense, then pick up SMALL TOWN VANISHING for $1.99 at any etailer today!

Cover reveal for Witchlore #2, Rebekah’s book. Isn’t it amazing?! This one hits stores August 29th!

24 *is* my lucky number. Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy last week! And if you haven’t yet, you’ve got two more weeks before book 4 in the Covert Cowboy Soldiers series, SHOT IN THE DARK, releases March 28th!

That’s more like it! Thank you readers for going out last week, especially if you made extra trips to find these new books! Thanks to you guys, ONE NIGHT STANDOFF hit #24 on the Publishers Weekly Bestseller list for mass market. If you’ve read ONE NIGHT STANDOFF already, the preview for the next book, SHOT IN THE DARK (releasing March 28), is up on Harlequin.com. You can get a little glimpse into Sarabeth, who might just be my favorite secondary character ever. ☺️

Finally spotted last week’s releases at my local Walmart today! Hopefully they’re out in your area too. I know these delays are really frustrating, especially for you dedicated category readers. (Us authors too!!) I appreciate anyone who goes out and spends money on one of my books, but a special shout-out to all of you who make extra trips/effort when you really shouldn’t have to!

Thanks to my friend Erika for having an eagle eye and spotting ONE NIGHT STANDOFF in this TikTok and sending it to me! It’s not often I see category books on an endcap at BN— and as my current tiktok FYP is full of Pedro Pascal might tell you, I highly approve of the signage!
(Also spotted: the amazing Delores Fossen)

aris on TikTok loving this x collab 🤠

Head back to Wilde, Wyoming and the Thompson brothers—ONE NIGHT STANDOFF is out today!

One Night Standoff, Book 3 in the Covert Cowboy Soldiers series, hits shelves next week! And the cover for the final book, CLANDESTINE BABY, just landed in my inbox and 😍😍😍😍😍😍. I wrote this series back in 2021 (which feels like a lifetime ago), so I’m beyond excited for the rest of the ‘Thompson brothers’ to reach readers!

Happy Friday! Not here much these days (the spam, the spammmm), so the best way to keep up with all releases across all pen names is to sign up for my newsletter (link is in the comments). I send one for every release, so that will almost be once a month in 2023 (yay!). One goes out Monday, so make sure you’re signed up!

I'm taking a little break from writing Intrigues while I wait for the schedule to catch up to me since I've already written all my 2024 Intrigues, and with no releases for the next couple months, it might be a little quiet around here for a bit. If you're on Instagram (and are interested in the occasional non-book-related looks into my life), make sure you've followed me there! http://instagram.com/nicole_t_helm/

Welcome, November. Took down the Halloween decorations, but not *quite* ready for Christmas. So fall & family heirlooms it is.
