About the Book:

The worst kind of heartache is the kind you can’t walk away from.

Jilted. Living in a glorified closet. The world’s worst bar waitress. I just need to keep a roof over my head and make tuition payments until I can finish graduate school. Then my real life will start. But right now, long nights at the Speakeasy have me burning the candle at both ends and the wax melting all over my fingers.

When a bar manager offers me a job taking care of his adorable five-year-old daughter, it seems like the perfect solution. I get a quiet place to study. Matteo gets a reliable sitter.

There should be no complications. Except that I like my new boss a little too much. His gorgeous dark eyes humble me, and the long talks we share fill me up inside. I can’t possibly fall for him.

But the undeniable pull between us leads to a scorching kiss I can’t ignore or forget, and suddenly I’ve fallen for them both, father and daughter.

And now three hearts are at stake.

Matteo has been a single father to his five-year-old daughter Lauren since she was an infant. When he is offered the manager job at Speakeasy, he is looking forward to both the opportunity and the lifestyle that Vermont offers however he wasn’t expecting finding someone to care for his daughter to be such a challenge.

Melanie has just realized that she delayed her dreams for the future for the wrong man. She has returned to her hometown and is trying to balance attending school and working at Speakeasy which is proving to be difficult. Spending the evening looking after Matteo’s daughter is the solution to both their dilemmas but they are about realize that they are destined to be so much more than boss/employee.

There is no denying the chemistry between them, but it was seeing the relationship not only between Melanie and Matteo but Melanie and Lauren as well that made this family so special.

TITLE: GIVE ME A REASON

RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 30TH, 2021

Synopsis

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher…

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.

A girl like her didn’t belong in a place like this.

She’d get ripped to shreds.

Most likely by me.

There’s nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I’m the monster who’s salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.

Dark.

Dangerous.

So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.

He’s also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.

One glance, and our hearts race.

One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.

One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong. 

It doesn’t matter.

Eden Murphy is mine.

🌸Review🌸

Eden may appear to be wholesome and naïve but her past hasn’t always been easy. She adores her job as a kindergarten teacher however that income will not be enough to help the person she loves the most. She decides to work as a waitress at a club never expecting that the owner would be the father of one of her students.

Trent has lived a dark and dangerous past, but he has created a new life for himself and his son. Up until now he has been able to keep those he cares about protected but one misstep could have dire consequences and he can’t afford to have anyone caught in the crossfire and that includes Eden who deserves so much more than he could ever give her.

The characters are compelling and their relationship captivating as they take us on intriguing and emotion filled journey as she gives him hope for the future even if he doesn’t believe he deserves while he shows her what love and loyalty truly means.

About the Book:

He doesn’t trust women. She only trusts dogs. Why can’t they keep their paws off each other?

Darren Reade builds stone walls in Vermont–and around his heart. Women don’t stick around, so it’s better to put up No Trespassing signs and focus on raising his adopted son. Darren is willing to do whatever it takes to help the boy cope with his mother’s death. But doing it alone is a challenge.

Grace Hollings indulges her love of old-school jazz by singing nights at the Speakeasy Taproom, and spends her days training service dogs, connecting small humans with smart pooches. Of course she’d planned to be married already, but a failed engagement has taught her that dogs make better company than men.

One evening, Grace and Darren don’t exchange names, but they do engage in a single night neither of them will forget. Is once all there is? Or can they train their hearts to trust what they’ve built under the starlight?

Darren is a man who has loved twice with devastating outcomes however the one good thing to come from it is his adopted son Darren. Between his career, his friends and his son he doesn’t need anything else until one evening with Grace has him wondering what if.

Grace has a difficult romantic past of her own but has found her niche training service dogs and honoring her grandmother by singing at Speakeasy a couple nights a week which is where she met Darren. They both agreed to one night but when his son needs one of the dogs she trains their worlds collide and they realize that there is so much more to life than the way they have been living it.

Neither Grace nor Darren were looking for love or a relationship but they take us on an emotional journey as they help each other and Darren heal from the past.

BLURB:
“I had to sneeze.” 

I should’ve taken her insurance information and driven off like any reasonable CEO with places to be would. 
She crashed into my car, for heaven’s sake. Because she had to sneeze. 

What did I do? I didn’t get in my car and drive away if that’s what you’re thinking. 

Nope. I stuck around. I could suggest I stayed because she needed help, but the truth? She was really, really hot.

We became fast friends. Then friends with benefits. Before I knew it, we were involved in an illicit office romance that had me fumbling through a drawerful of panties to get a Post-It. 

It was supposed to be easy—a fling, if you will. A dashing millionaire hero (*adjusts tie*) and a beautiful (stubborn, frustratingly independent, hell-on-wheels) damsel in distress. (Don’t tell her I said that.) 

It wasn’t supposed to be forever, but we did want a happy ending. (Pun intended.) We could’ve made it work, too. 

But one of us overcomplicated things with the L-word. And the other? They omitted a truth that changed everything.

Author’s Note: Relentless, a full-length, standalone novel in the Mason Family Series, delivers a dose of heat and heart. Enjoy!

Excerpt:

He fiddles with his tie. “Otherwise, I’ll be back upstairs in a few hours, and we can head up to legal. You’ll be communicating with them a lot, and I want to make the introductions.”

“Okay,” I say, following his lead and standing.

He comes around the corner of his desk and stops a few feet in front of me.

Our eyes lock, his irises shifting colors again—deepening—as he takes me in. If we were in another place—any other place—at another time—besides the office in which we both work—I’d raise on my tiptoes and kiss him.

At least, I think that’s what I would do. It’s been so long. But the version of me that lives in my head and plays out fictional romantic interludes believes that’s what would happen.

My mouth goes dry, and my lips are downright parched. But as the reel of the make-believe kiss we’d share finishes in my head, I scamper back to reality and the fact that he’s my boss. And no matter how kissable he is or what I wouldn’t give to lean in to this feeling—the one that feels pretty and desired—I don’t.

I can’t.

Because life is about priorities and having a roof over your head is a big one. So, too, is ensuring that you don’t give people the ability to screw up your life.

Kissing my boss would surely put me at risk for the first one. It would definitely be wading into the waters of the second.

“Let me know if you need anything from me today,” I say, my voice a little raspier than I would like.

His eyes darken, but all he does is nod.

I lift my chin and give him my best-practiced smile. Then I turn on my heel and escape into my office.

Review

Oliver is focused on managing the family business and doesn’t have the energy or interest in pursuing a personal relationship until it found him. He was drawn to the woman who locked her car with his in a way he never expected but he thought it would end when they went their separate ways until she shows up at his office to apply for the job as his assistant.

Shay’s life hasn’t turned out the way she imagined as she is still trying to recover from the damage that the last man she allowed close left her with both emotionally and financially. The job at Mason Limited is the first step in claiming the life and reclaiming the woman she used to be but will getting involved with her boss be the best decision she ever made or the worst?

Shay is strong and resilient despite the lemons that life has handed her while Oliver has a past of his own that makes him cautious, but some things are meant to be. A swoony romance with witty banter and a great collection of characters that is sure to warm your heart.

About the Book:

Randall Dickson is coping. Sort of. An upcoming medical eval, one that could end his military career, has him stressed and making bad choices. So when a concerned friend issues a strongly-worded “invitation” to Vermont, R.D. is all in for a change of scenery, a temporary job as a bartender, and the opportunity to shake himself out of his self-destructive routine.

Then he sets eyes on his seriously sexy new co-worker…

Lily Reynolds, an artist by day, Speakeasy’s favorite bartender at night, works hard to stay positive, unlike her surly new coworker. He may be a treat to look at, but that grumpy attitude and terse manner are not her type. So when Lily finds herself in desperate need of someone to share expenses, she convinces R.D. to rent her vacant room. There’s no way she’ll find herself falling for him.

She’d like to find the secret admirer who’s leaving her secret love notes around the bar, though. But he won’t reveal himself…

This standalone contains: opposites who definitely attract, a workplace romance, and an opinionated French bulldog.

Due to an accident while on leave R.D. is struggling to heal so that he can return to his military career which is the driving force in his life. When he is about to make a devastating choice Griff isn’t about to stand by without doing anything so he convinces him to get away from the situation by taking a temporary job at the Taproom.

Lily is an artist who also works at the Taproom. She has a way of seeing the good in every situation and every person and is just someone you want to be around but there is so much she doesn’t share. When she needs a roommate and he needs a place to stay it seems like the perfect solution and it’s not like they are going to act on the chemistry between them, right?

Both R.D. and Lily have their challenges to overcome but for two people who couldn’t be more different in every way they prove they are simpatico when it comes to what really matters and that is their feelings for each other.

Genres: Contemporary Romance

Trope: Unexpected Pregnancy, Marriage of Convenience, Law Enforcement, Man in Uniform

Synopsis:

After closing one chapter of my life, I’m ready to start the next. But marrying my baby daddy’s twin brother wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

Brooke

Shane Masters isn’t the reason I came back to Sunnyville. In fact, I only returned to tell his brother that I’m pregnant with his baby. Then, I found out that he’s married, already has children of his own, and wants nothing to do with my baby.

Despite all that, I decide to settle here for a while. I’m low on funds, need regular prenatal care, and can’t keep traveling as my pregnancy progresses. And Shane? Well, he might have the answer to all my problems.

Shane

As a respected officer with the Sunnyville Police Department, I pride myself on my morals. Typically, I see the world in black and white, but not when it comes to Brooke Foster. She’s a bit of a gray area.

Usually, I’d avoid getting involved in the messes my no good brother gets himself into, but this time he’s gone too far. If cheating on his wife isn’t bad enough, he got Brooke pregnant and refuses to take responsibility. If he won’t do the right thing, I will.

Getting married is a simple solution, but it creates a whole new problem. The more time I spend with Brooke, the more I want our marriage to be a little less convenient and a little more real. Can I convince her to give me a chance, or will she always see my brother when she looks at me?

One second, he had everything.
The next, it was torn away.

Oliver James was at the peak of his career, captain of the Baltimore Breakers, minutes away from winning another Cup. Then one hit had derailed all that.

All he’d ever known was hockey, and he didn’t know where he fit in a world where playing was no longer a possibility. But then he was offered a chance to bring hockey back into his life. A shot at starting over.

The only condition of that second chance was required meetings with the team psychologist, Hazel.

She was exactly the kind of woman he might have once lusted after—beautiful, kind, a body that screamed sex. She made him feel whole, like a man again.

Except, she wasn’t interested in him outside of being a patient.

Well then, Oliver would just have to convince her otherwise.
