She’s the one line he can’t afford to cross.

Jackie

I trusted the wrong man and lost everything.

My career. My savings. My home.

And enough faith in my own judgment that moving in with my little brother feels safer than trusting myself again.

Then I go and fall— literally— into the arms of the one man my brother warned me to stay away from.

His enemy. His teammate. The infuriatingly handsome complication I absolutely do not need.

I’m prepared to hate him. But I’m not prepared for the way he makes me feel.

Until I stumble across who he is when no one’s watching, and suddenly I’m seeing Colby in a whole new light.

The moody forward is nothing like my brother said.

And everything I shouldn’t want.

Colby

I know what one mistake can cost, and what it means to spend the rest of your life paying for it.

The guilt. The shame. The tragedy.

I was just a kid when mine happened, and my sister has lived with the consequences ever since.

That’s why I keep people at a distance, and why losing my spot on this team is not an option.

I won’t let my sister down again, and Jackie’s brother is already looking for a reason to get rid of me.

If I don’t keep my head in the game and my hands to myself, Jackie could be that reason.

One kiss crosses the line. One night obliterates it. Every stolen touch makes it harder to remember why she’s off-limits.

If he discovers what we’re doing behind his back, I could lose the game, the girl… and the only future I’ve got left.

Perfect for readers who love:

Brother’s teammate • Forbidden romance • Secret cinnamon roll • Slow burn • Redemption romance • Sailor hero

🏒Review🏒

Colby is a private man who doesn’t allow many people close and doesn’t always say the right thing.   He is having challenges adjusting to his new team and in particular Donovan and if that doesn’t change it could impact his future with them.  He knows that he should keep his distance from Jackie, Donovan’s sister, however when their paths cross in the most unlikely way he is drawn to her in a way he never expected.

With her personal and professional life in turmoil Jackie is now staying with her brother.   She has a preconceived idea of Colby from her brother, but when a chance encounter brings them together she realizes that man she sees and the way he presents himself to everyone else is very different.   She doesn’t believe that she is ready to let anyone into her life which only ups the angst between them.

Although the reasons are very different both Colby and Jackie bear the emotional scars of the past and are both hesitant and cautious.   It was so rewarding to see them break through the walls they have both built and realize that what they share is worth fighting for.

Aria Bad is a tattooist who’s mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.

Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria Bad, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.

Nikki

It’s not easy to live knowing that your best days are behind you. It’s not easy feeling like you have nothing to live for, even with an amazing, lucrative career and a loving family. It’s damn near impossible to keep breathing when the love of your life chooses your best friend and teammate over you. I barely survived by burying that part of myself, leaving my heartbreak firmly in the past. But when a pre-season trade re-opens old wounds, I’m forced to reconsider everything, because if she’s not happy with him…it might be my chance to ensure that this time, she chooses correctly. And this time she won’t have a choice.

Blake

The life of a hockey wife isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When I imploded the best thing that had ever happened to me, I hoped it wouldn’t be for nothing. I hoped there’d be a way to salvage some sort of happiness lying in the bed I’d made. I was worse than wrong, and I’ve paid for it in a million little ways over the last ten years. Now, thrust back into the life of the person I hurt the most, the reality is worse than I expected. It’s not just that I have to see him, looking better than ever, and remember the love that I thought I had imagined. It’s that everything from the past feels like it’s just below the surface, waiting to explode. Every stolen glance, every barely there touch…it’s kindling on a pyre that will destroy everything.

I spent years of my childhood dreaming of the day I’d call Atlas Grant my own.

He was my older brother’s best friend, my protector, my friend, and the guy I had loved for as long as I could remember.

I bided my time, waiting until I was old enough to make my move.

But the moment I finally worked up the courage to tell him how I felt, he shattered my heart without a second thought.

Since then, I’ve done everything I could to avoid him.

Too bad that’s no longer an option… Because now I’m on a plane to Las Vegas for a combined bachelor and bachelorette weekend. Which means spending the next few days with Atlas is unavoidable.

If I can’t escape him, I’ll settle for making the football superstar regret ever rejecting me.

But you know what they say about Vegas…

What happens there stays there.

Well, unfortunately for us, some things can’t be buried under those neon lights.

When Henley was 18 she declared her feeling for Atlas, her brother’s best friend, and was hurt when he didn’t feel the same. Since then, she kept her distance however that is about to be put to the test when they both will be in Vegas to celebrate their friends upcoming nuptials.

Seeing Henley again intensifies the feelings that Atlas has had for Henley. When their fun night together results in an impromptu marriage he isn’t disappointed and now he needs to show her that this wasn’t a mistake, but they are meant to be together.

Henley is feisty, fiery and not about to just forgive and forget the past, but Atlas is determined in his pursuit to show her that she can count on him to be there for her both when it comes to the little things he does for her but the romance as well.

Christmas was supposed to be quiet for nurse and former Army medic Tessa Hensley until a wrecked motorcycle and a mouth-watering biker crashes into her life.

Caleb “Bear” Lawson is big, tattooed, and far too tempting to resist. Taking him home to recover should’ve been a mistake…but one smoldering look, one stolen kiss, and suddenly Tessa’s holiday feels anything but lonely.

She knows he’s not here to stay. He knows walking away will hurt like hell.

This Christmas, sparks fly, hearts tangle, and Tessa learns some gifts are impossible to give back.

About the Author:

Avelyn Paige is the mischief-maker behind steamy dark romance, gritty mafia love stories, and high-octane motorcycle club tales that have blazed their way onto the Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestseller lists. She calls Indiana home, where she lives with her husband and five furry troublemakers who think they’re her editors.

When she’s not fighting the good fight in cancer research, Avelyn trades test tubes for plot twists and dives into worlds filled with danger, devotion, and deliciously bad decisions. She writes romance because it’s the one place where chaos and love can coexist, bullets can fly, hearts can heal, and everyone still gets the kind of ending worth fighting for.

After losing her dad in 2015, she turned heartbreak into creativity and never looked back. Now, she’s on a mission to prove that even the darkest hearts can find redemption, and that love—no matter how twisted—always leaves a mark worth remembering.

One More Goal is a fake dating, opposites attract romance…

As the newest forward for the Jacksonville Mud Hens, I’m determined to make a name for myself.

But it’s not easy. I stumble my way through interviews and choke when there are lights and cameras in my face. When the fans get a little too friendly, I freeze up. My public persona is taking a nosedive and my rookie season has just begun.

The solution? A fake relationship. Apparently, a girlfriend will make me look more approachable, and she’ll have no trouble telling fans to keep their hands off her man.

My team and my publicist think they’ve found the perfect person for the job. She’s a figure skater. She’s gorgeous. And her reputation could use a little rehab, too.

But she’s no stranger. I already know Emersyn Zabek. How could I forget being snowed in with the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen? How could I forget losing my virginity to her?

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t have asked for a better fake girlfriend.

My feelings for Em are far from fake.  They’re heating up as the days go by. And when her safety is threatened, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep her out of harm’s way.

One More Goal is the first book in the Dirty Puckers Book Club pro hockey series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love sassy heroines, stoic heroes, and enough steam to melt your Kindle, then Leo and Emersyn are the perfect couple for you!

❄️ Opposites Attract

🍪 ‘Just Casual’

❄️ Spicy RomCom

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, I’m not sure why I thought I’d add dating to my never-ending to-do list.

My date is a disaster, but the charming Brit playing piano at the bar—and 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 we’re 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 places—my 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 won’t 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.

Hopelessly in Love by Stacy Travis is now live!

An addicting small town, single dad, grumpy x sunshine, fake fiancé romance.

My first mistake was kissing a hot cowboy.

My second was agreeing to be his fake fiancée to save his handsome hide in a custody battle.

My third…well, there’s still time…

Single dad Luke Reilly doesn’t trust women who leave for greener pastures. He’s fiercely protective of his four-year-old son and even more protective of his own heart.

But then he met me, or more accurately, my lips…

I’m a free-spirited city gal, newly unemployed and in desperate need for an adventure. Between renovating the dilapidated ranch I inherited with my sisters, the last thing I need is a broody cowboy, even if he is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But when Luke asks me for a quick favor: block him from view of his vindictive ex, I do one better and plant a kiss right on his lips.

His response? Introducing me as his fiancée. Now I’m fake-engaged to a grumpy single dad who seems more irritated by me than grateful for the favor.

But his little boy wins me over, and long afternoons of babysitting lead to longer nights of getting to know Luke Reilly. Photo shoots and fake kisses to document our “relationship” start to feel dangerously real.

Pretty soon, my body can’t tell the difference–and neither can my heart.

When the call of a fresh adventure beckons, I’m tempted to protect myself and leave this town in the dust.

Because I think I’ve just made my third mistake—falling hopelessly in love.

When Callie finds herself between jobs it seems like the perfect opportunity to spend time with her sisters and to help with the changes they are planning to Loveland Ranch. Her decision to go and arrange payment of a past due ticket at the courthouse must have been fate as it brought Luke and his son Scout into her life when she impulsively agreed to pretend they were engaged.

Luke is battling for custody of his son Scout and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for him. This is why he finds himself pretending to be engaged to Callie however what he wasn’t prepared for was the light she brought into their lives or the way that she captured both of their hearts. The only problem is that their engagement and her time in town was only temporary.

This is a heartwarming story about love and family with all the feels. Callie is a woman who protects her heart by never getting attached to people or places while Luke’s roots are firmly planted because of his son however it was so rewarding to see Callie, Luke and Scout realize that they belong together.

Even though Isa isn’t being forced into it she agreed to a marriage for family reasons and not for love even if she is confused by the intermittent feelings she is starting to have for DiAngelo, her best friend’s boyfriend. Just before her wedding she is kidnapped by DiAngelo only to learn that it is not him but his twin brother Elio.

Elio was kidnapped two decades earlier and has been held captive since them. He has recently been able to escape and has returned to town for business reasons when he finds out that Isa is about to marry another man and he isn’t about to let that happen however when he reunites with her he realizes their view of the past is very different and now he must show her what they meant to each other.

This is a second chance for Isa and Elio however it will not be easy. They are not the same people they used to be, and they will need to understand what tore them apart as well as well as the enemies he has created along the way as they take us on an adventure that is suspenseful and includes that a love that is felt even if it is not always remembered. James Cassidy and Melissa Barr brought out every angst filled moment and allowed you to experience the depth of their love as they try to find their way back to the life they were always meant to have.
