Get ready for a love story with all the best tropes: single dad + nanny, forced proximity, forbidden romance, men in uniform, and of course, grumpy + sunshine! “The Live-In Temptation” by local author Brighton Walsh has all this and so much more!
Join Brighton at Blue House Books on Wednesday, September 3rd at 7 p.m., where she will be discussing the latest installment in the Starlight Cove series with fellow romance author L.B. Dunbar (the Lakeside Cottage series and the Road Trips & Romance series), answering questions from the audience, and signing books!
This is a pre-release party, so you’ll be able to purchase your book one day earlier than its release date. Come celebrate with this fabulous local author and grab a signed copy!
This event requires a $5 deposit, check out the details and grab your ticket here: https://www.blue-house-books.com/events/3194320250903
*NOTE that $5 can be used on any in-store transaction the night of the event only.
About THE LIVE-IN TEMPTATION:
Hiring the chaotic woman I pulled out of a shed fire to be my daughter’s nanny was a bad idea. Letting her live with me? Even worse.
Chloe Bradshaw is too vibrant, too bold, and way too young for me. She’s pure sunshine-in-a-hurricane energy and the exact opposite of the calm, steady influence my daughter needs.
But Emma adores her from the second they meet, and I’d do anything for my little girl. Including sharing a roof with the one woman I shouldn’t want.
Chloe’s the walking definition of off-limits. And one hell of a temptation I can’t stop thinking about.
Between midnight snack run-ins, hair-braiding lessons, and the way she looks in my stolen hoodie, forbidden stopped being a warning and started feeling like a dare.
I swore I wouldn’t cross that line with her. Then I did. Again. And again.
And now, what we both insisted was only temporary is starting to feel like it could be real. Suddenly, I’m not just her boss or her landlord. I’m the guy threatening to burn down anything that hurts her.
But the end date of our arrangement is looming, and her suitcase is still half-packed. She says she’s not staying. I say she’s already mine.
About BRIGHTON WALSH:
Award-winning “USA Today” and “Wall Street Journal” bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them.
Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real-life hero of a husband, her two kids—both taller than her—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it’s mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.
About L.B. DUNBAR:
L.B. Dunbar loves sexy silver foxes, second chances, and small towns. If you enjoy older characters in your romance reads, including a hero with a little silver in his scruff and a heroine rediscovering her worth, then welcome to romance for those over 40. L.B. Dunbar’s signature works include women and men in their prime taking another turn at love and happily ever after.
She’s a “USA Today” Bestseller as well as #1 Bestseller on Amazon in Later in Life Romance with her Lakeside Cottage and Road Trips & Romance series. L.B. lives in Chicago with her own sexy silver fox.

2025-09-07 11:00 - 14:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
“At once maddening and heartbreaking, “The Freedom Seeker” shows young readers there is also hope…” — Alan Gratz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee
“”The Freedom Seeker” is a must-read social justice adventure to understand the struggles of migrant families. Ruchira Gupta opens hearts and minds, inspiring young readers to find their own voice for change.” – Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Laureate
Join Ruchira Gupta at Blue House Books on Sunday, September 7th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the release of her latest middle grade book, “The Freedom Seeker”, a powerful social justice adventure for young readers.
Ruchira will be chatting with excited readers and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this inspiring activist, journalist, and author!
About THE FREEDOM SEEKER:
In one girl’s relentless search for home and safety, “The Freedom Seeker” takes readers on a daring journey of displacement and immigration. Illuminated by the kindness of strangers across continents and the strength of the human spirit, renowned activist and award-winning documentarian Ruchira Gupta has written a powerful tale of resilience, hope, and the enduring strength of familial love.
Twelve-year-old Simi Singh’s life in Northern India is filled with love, family traditions, and ordinary worries about hockey competitions, school exams, and avoiding the snide remarks of her class nemesis. But when a single rock carrying a note crash through their window during their Id celebration, Simi’s life will shatter.
Her Sikh father and Muslim mother’s interfaith marriage is becoming a target of violent vigilantes. Faced with rising threats, they must make an impossible choice: stay and risk their lives, or flee their homeland. Simi’s father is the first of them to make the journey to the U.S., but when their petition to be reunited in America is denied, Simi and her mother are left with no choice but to attempt a perilous crossing through the Arizona desert with the help of a smuggler.
Throughout her nail-biting journey towards safety and belonging, Simi will face unthinkable danger— and when Simi and her mother are separated during the crossing, each led to believe the other is dead, she refuses to accept this fate. Alone in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land, she must summon all her courage and resourcefulness to survive, find her mother, and reunite her shattered family.
About RUCHIRA GUPTA:
Ruchira Gupta is an Emmy-winning journalist and founder of Apne Aap, an anti-trafficking organization that supports women and girls in exiting systems of prostitution. Her latest novel, “The Freedom Seeker”, is a powerful social justice adventure for young readers. It follows her acclaimed debut “I Kick and I Fly”, which received the Malka Penn Award for Human Rights in Children’s Literature and the South Asia Book Award.
An internationally recognized activist, Ruchira played a key role in the creation of the UN Trust Fund for Trafficking Survivors and the passage of the U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act. She has received honors including the French Ordre National du Mérite, the Clinton Global Citizen Award, and the UN NGO CSW Woman of Distinction Award. She holds an honorary doctorate from Smith College.
Ruchira has worked with the United Nations across Nepal, Thailand, Kosovo, Iran, and the United States, and she teaches occasionally at NYU’s Center for Global Affairs. She has co-authored As If Women Matter with Gloria Steinem and edited the anthologies River of Flesh and Renu’s Letters to Birju Babu.
She lives between New York and Forbesganj, where she continues her activism—and paints in her late mother’s garden
