Kate Golden Synopses: If Not for My Baby is a standalone novel by Kate Golden. Clementine Clark has sworn off love. Growing up with a mother who falls apart over a new man every week has made her the practical one, the steady one, the girl who keeps her feet on the ground. She has even buried her own musical dreams so deeply that she barely notices the emptiness they left behind.

Everything changes when her best friend calls with a life‑altering offer: join Irish superstar Thomas Patrick Halloran on his first United States tour as a backing vocalist. Clementine wants to say no, but the pay could transform her and her mother’s lives. Overnight, she goes from serving enchiladas at the Happy Tortilla to singing under stadium lights.

The shock of leaving small‑town Texas for sold‑out arenas is nothing compared to performing beside Halloran himself. Poet, introvert, and musical prodigy, he is nothing like Clementine and yet somehow gets under her skin from the moment they meet. Over eight weeks on the road, their differences spark something unexpected, something that feels dangerously close to the dreams Clementine once abandoned.

As the tour races toward its finale, Clementine must decide whether this connection is a fleeting harmony or the beginning of something worth holding on to. The rockstar may have struck a chord in her heart, but only she can decide if the song deserves an encore.

A Dawn of Onyx by Kate Golden is the first book in the Sacred Stones series. Arwen Valondale never imagined she would be the one to offer her life in exchange for her brother’s. Now she is a prisoner of the most feared kingdom on the continent, forced to use her rare healing magic to keep the soldiers of the ruthless Onyx King alive.

Escape seems impossible. The ancient woods surrounding the castle are filled with creatures and curses that no one survives, and Arwen knows she cannot face them alone. Her only chance lies in working with another captive, a man as clever as he is infuriating, who seems to take delight in provoking her fears. Trusting him is dangerous, but staying in Onyx Kingdom may be even worse.

To make it out of enemy territory, Arwen must navigate treacherous royals, forbidden magic, and beasts that stalk the shadows. Yet something powerful stirs within her, a magic she has never learned to wield, waiting for the right spark to ignite.

If she can harness it, she might escape with her life. If she is lucky, she might even escape with her heart.
