USA Today bestselling author AJ Alexander has been writing romance since 2018. She loves writing small town romances with found families and all the nosey nellies that help her characters find their happily ever after! She lives in Arizona, otherwise known as the surface of the sun, with her husband, two daughters, two cats, and a lovable golden retriever.
When she isnβt writing you can find AJ reading, binging the latest true crime documentaries on Netflix, obsessing over new Korean drama shows, or glued to fresh anime releases. AJ is a cynical but hopeless romantic that believes in love at first sight, bigger is always better, and everything should be put off for a nap.
One night with a beautiful stranger is supposed to be exactly what I need to forget that my NFL career is hanging on by a thread. No last names, no strings, no expectations. Just two people having a little fun before going their separate ways.
At least, thatβs the plan.
Problem number one. I definitely want more. Problem number two. She disappears before the sun. Problem number three. I canβt stop thinking about her.
Surely the universe is done with me now. The universe: Bet. Because the woman of my dreams is my coachβs daughter, who I absolutely canβt have.
Pretending our night together never happened is probably the smartest thing either of us could do, but Iβve never been good at walking away from something I want.
πReviewπ Jubal is a professional quarterback who has just been traded from the team he spent the last decade with to Charlotte. He knows that the transition will be difficult enough but finding out that Calliope, the woman he spent an unforgettable night with, is the coachβs daughter is a complication of the best kind.
On the night that Calliope spent with Jubal she received some news that could derail her dreams for the future. She never expected to see Jubal again let along that he would be playing for the team her dadβs coaches. She knows that there are so many reasons that they should be keeping their distance however the more time they spend together the more difficult that becomes.
Jubal knew that Calliope was his end game and he wasnβt about to be deterred by all the challenges that they had to overcome. The forbidden aspect of this romance only made the connection between them stronger as they take us on a journey that balances humor, heat and heart.

Brighter Than the Stars by Elizabeth O’Roark is now live!
I was raised to believe the danger lived outside our walls. And Ford James looked like the most dangerous thing of all.
Iβve spent my entire life inside Bright Covenant β a religious community with rules for everything, a place where questions arenβt allowed. When my family is sent to heal Westside, a small Florida beach town, I arrive certain of two things: the world outside is exactly as dangerous as I was warned, and Ford James β who vandalized our home before weβd even unpacked β is proof.
Heβs the reason I had to leave home during my final year of school. Heβs the reason half the senior class wants me gone. But he also makes me question everything I know, and want things Iβve never wanted beforeβthings Iβm meant to save for my husband.
Come June, I board a plane to Bolivia, and will return engaged to a member of Bright Covenant.
Which means I have one year to decide if Ford James is really the villain. Or worth burning my world down for.

πReviewπ Grace was being raised in a strict religious household and has always done what was expected of her as she had been warned against the damage that those that donβt understand could cause. When her family moves to Penhallow it is her mindset that she will endure the next year and then move forward with the plans that were previously mad. It doesnβt take long for her to realize how stifling and sheltered her life has been and that hold especially true for Ford.
Fordβs reputation should be enough to ensure that Grace keeps her distance however he canβt deny how intrigued he is by her. She is his complete opposite however he is able to see her and her situation in a way she hasnβt yet realized and soon his animosity for her turns into a need to show her that she can trust him with her truths and he will support her as she transforms from a moth to the butterfly she is meant to be.
This is an emotionally riveting tale of growth, independence and love. Graceβs strength and bravery is inspiring as she is forced to challenge everything she has always believed even if it causes pain to those she loves the most and Ford is there every step of the way not to lead her but to be there for her as she faces an uncertain future.
As a single mom, the holidays are chaos on another level. Working two jobs, running a cookie business, and trying to keep Christmas magical for my seven-year-old son is exhausting on a good day. So, Iβm not sure why I thought Iβd add dating to my never-ending to-do list.
My date is a disaster, but the charming Brit playing piano at the barβand later flirting with me over a pool table? Not so much.
One reckless night with Beck Hargrove feels harmless.
Until I run into him the next day at my son’s Winter Fest workshop and our one-night fling becomes a lot more complicated.
Now the PTA moms think weβre together, my son is obsessed with him, and the ridiculously charming British man I was supposed to forget keeps showing up in all the worst placesβmy kitchen, my holiday plans, and very much in my head.
The more he helps with Winter Fest, charms everyone in Cedar Hollow, and looks at me like my messy life is something he actually wants, the harder it is to remember he wonβt be staying.
But Beck is always chasing his next adventure.
And I can’t afford to fall for a man who’s only here for the holidays, no matter how much he’s starting to feel like he belongs.
βοΈ golden retriever biker x brilliant scientist
π₯ opposites attract
π§ social butterfly x socially awkward
π€ he calls her Indy
ποΈ forced proximity
π he falls first
β€οΈ acts of service as a love language
The happiest biker falls for the most academically brilliant, socially awkward woman heβs ever met in this electrifying small-town, opposites-attract romance from USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole.
SUNNY
I thought my job was protecting the men who ride beside me.
Then I met the brilliant, socially awkward Dr. Della Hart.
Sheβs the smartest person Iβve ever known. She can explain why alligators are ecological engineers, identify a bird by its call, and somehow make a patch of mud sound like the most important place on Earth.
Me?
I once tried to microwave a Pop-Tart still in the wrapper.
While Della notices every bird, every flower, and every tiny change in the water that tells her someone is poisoning an entire ecosystem, she doesnβt notice the men following her, or the ones lying to her.
Good thing I do.
She says she doesnβt need protecting.
Thatβs cute.
Because somewhere between making her laugh, listening to her passionately explain why wetlands are worth saving, and watching her fight for a place everyone else has forgotten, she became my favourite person.
Everyone thinks Iβm the funny one, the laid back one, and theyβre right.
Until they come after Della and give me a reason to show them who I really am.

“You have been summoned to testify in an upcoming criminal trial.”
Those eleven words arrived at my doorstep in a simple brown envelope, and the instructions inside were pretty simple:
Show up to court on time, swear to tell the truth on the stand, the end.
Or that’s what I thought until I made it to New York.
A thief ran off with all my luggage at baggage claim, every single Uber driver canceled my pickup requests, and someone was following my every step.
I could feel it…
The law firm immediately decided I needed to be protected at all costs. Something about “fatal consequences” if I wasn’t.
So, until this trial is over, I’m being forced to stay with the lead lawyer on the case: Caden Saint.
His last name has to be a joke from the universe, because I knew this man was the devil in disguise the moment he opened his mouth.
He insists on calling me “Miss Conflict of Interest” instead of my real name and refuses to look at me for more than twenty seconds at a time. And despite the fact that he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen, every word that drops from his mouth makes me hate him even more.
(Oh, and he definitely tried to abandon me at a homeless shelter the first time we met, but that’s a story for a different day…)
I’m exhausted by his incessant rules and suffocating boundaries, the literal “no trespassing” tape he’s hung in certain spaces, and the way he treats me like something he ownsβ¦
So, I vowed to leave him before the case is over, before he can slide any deeper under my skin.
But he catches me mid-escape, and the words “conflict of interest” take on a far more sinful meaning...
