Lucas is the youngest Blaze Brother. He works twenty-four seven, and his only use for women is to get his rocks off when he’s taking a break from putting his family’s liquor brand into every store in the country.
I don’t wear the right clothes, I don’t mingle in the same high-profile groups, and I sure as heck don’t know the first thing about pleasing a man.
But to make his Granny happy, Lucas is willing to marry me.
Our marriage is one of convenience and I know it won’t last.
But try telling that to my heart.
He doesn’t believe in love and happily ever after.

There is nothing that Lucas wouldn’t do for his grandmother as she is the most important person in his life. When her one wish is to see him married he can’t say no so he convinces Isabella to be his bride but developing feelings for her wasn’t part of the plan.

Working for Lucas’s grandmother is both tempting and torturous. Isabella loves her job and the feelings she has for Lucas only grow by the day, but she doesn’t believe that he will ever see her as a woman. When he offers her a marriage of convenience will it end in heartbreak or happy ever after?

Isabella is exactly who Lucas needs in his life and he realizes it as well but first there are some challenges from the past and in the present that must be dealt with.

Hail Mary 🏈 Cover Reveal


Kandi Steiner has revealed the gorgeous cover for Hail Mary!

Releasing: February 15, 2023

Cover Design: Kandi Steiner

Photographer: Ren Saliba

Model: Anonymous

Leo F*cking Hernandez.

North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.

And now?

He’s my new roommate.

I used to think I loved him.

But that was before I hated him.

He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.

“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.

But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.

At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.

Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.

Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.

Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.

He’s broken my heart once.

I won’t let him do it again.

Meet Kandi


Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Megan was going through a difficult time in her life and the one person who was there for her was her teacher Lance. It felt natural seeing them develop feelings for each other and although they didn’t pursue that relationship she was devastated when he left with no explanation or further contact so when he reappears in her life more than a decade later she isn’t about to just forgive and forget.

Lance gave Megan a piece of his heart that he has never been able to reclaim despite his attempts to move forward in his life. Now that she is back in his life he isn’t about to lose her a second time but not only do they need to deal with the pain of the past but the challenges in the present.

Despite the intense feelings between them Megan and Lance first met it wasn’t the right time in their lives as Megan needed to become the woman she was meant to be. Doing the right thing was difficult for them both but seeing them together as adults only reinforces that some things are meant to be and it is finally their time.

🏔Review🏔
Laurel would never have come back to her hometown if it wasn’t for her Gram but she is the one person she could never say no to even if it means facing her past and the man she left behind.

Jasper isn’t about to let the past repeat itself. Laurel has always owned his heart and he is determined to show her that the only place she belongs is with him and he will protect her from anyone who doesn’t agree.

Hot chemistry and intrigue as love was not the reason that Laurel and Jasper were torn apart but it will be what brings them back together.

Asteamy textual relationship with a mysterious man is what lies between the pages in this deliciously hilarious rom-com around a donut shop.

 

“…wonderfully written and a page-turner.” ~ Goodreads Review

 

Farrah Ford graduated from college without a plan for her future—winging it has always been her style. So, when she takes her little sister, Maddie, to Donut Dilemma, a series of hilarious events occur, and she ends up with a new job and an anonymous texting suitor.

Narrowing him down to two men, she sets about trying to entrap him to reveal which dude he is. Is he the sexy SEAL, code name Celebration Sprinkles, she works for, or is he Frosted Stripes, the hottie doctor who’s a regular at the bakery’s cafe?

As Farrah finds herself falling in love with the mysterious man, she wonders if she will be happy or horrified when she finally finds out which man he is.

I’m her dirty little secret, the one she loves to hate.

She knows just what to say to cut deep, and I know how to press every single button she has.
We hate each other, until one night after I lose the biggest football game of the year. 
When she offers the kind of mercy I need. 
It changes everything… until the next morning.
Now I’m her dirty little secret, and she’s avoiding me like the plague. 

Which makes it difficult when we get partnered on a project 
and we’re stuck on a couple’s trip with our friends.

The tension between us is sky high. 
So I propose a way to lower it: enemies with benefits.
One hotel room. A few days. A chance to let our little “hateship” run its course. 

Except when it’s unexpectedly cut short, I’m not ready to give her up. 
And I think I might be a bad habit she can’t quit, despite how smart she is.

But we have bigger problems, and both of our post-college careers are on the line.
I’m about to find out if I can win this game or fumble the two most important plays of my life.

🏈Review🏈
Easton appears to be living the life that others can only dream of as not only is he destined for the NFL, but he can have any girl he wants. The only problem is that after spending one night with Wren she is the one he wants and she wants nothing to do with him.

Between family, working and school Wren has her hands full so she doesn’t need to be distracted by a man who she believes is only looking for a good time. Based on his reputation she thinks she knows who Easton is but he is determined to prove her wrong.

The interactions between Easton and Wren were entertaining as they try to hide their true feelings or each other under sarcastic banter. There is no denying the chemistry and connection between them, but Wren isn’t the only person that Easton needs to convince to show they belong together.

Meet Maggie Rawdon 

Maggie loves books, travel and wandering through museums. She lives in the Midwest where you can find her writing on her laptop with her two pups at her side, in between binge watching epic historical and fantasy dramas and cheering for her favorite American (and European) football teams on the weekends. She loves writing dirty athletes and smart women and has a soft spot for writing characters who banter instead of flirt.

R.C. Stephens has revealed the cover for Not A Player!

Releasing February 22, 2023

Liliana 
 
Hooking up with an annoyingly handsome stranger on vacation isn’t the best idea, but I could use a little bit of careless fun before my fresh start. 
 
We said no last names, no strings. With law school on the line, it’s all I can offer. I just don’t expect everything to feel so easy— or so right. Too bad I’ll never see him again.
 
Little did I know that hockey star Logan Russo is also attending Westfall U. Now I can’t escape him… or his sexy silver eyes. 
 
He may not be a player… but he’s still off-limits. 
 
Logan 
 
My entire life has been focused on my hockey career. All work— no play. Zero distractions, with no exceptions. Until I sit next to Liliana on a flight to paradise.
 
Her walls are up, and I can respect that, relate even. But I’ll tear them down, one by one, if that’s what it takes for her to let me in.
 
Our tropical fling only left me wanting more. I can’t stop myself from fantasizing about the guarded beauty falling apart in my arms. Now I’m breaking the rules to play by hers. 
 
Because Liliana Ramirez isn’t just my team’s PR person, she’s my coach’s daughter.

More Than Cookies 🍪 Now Available

We’re so excited to be sharing More Than Cookies, a small town romance from Christine DePetrillo that’s out now!

Title: More Than Cookies

Author: Christine DePetrillo

Genre: Small Town Romance

About More Than Cookies:

“I don’t usually trust my heart, but I know it’s not lying to me about you.”

Sage Stannard is grumpy. Having just attended her cousin’s wedding in California, she’s at her limit for watching happy couples stare dreamily at one another. She’s never had anything but quick romps back home in Vermont that always turn out to be mistakes. Big ones. Maybe moving out of her mother’s house and taking a stab at online dating will add a little excitement to this caterer’s stale life. Maybe it’ll bring more disappointment. Who knows?

Chainsaw artist Orion Finley is on a mission to get his daughter, Myah, back from his ruthless ex-wife. Only trouble is his ex-wife is a crafty lawyer with connections—ones that give her the upper hand. She even managed to get custody of his dog, Ranger, just to drive the stake deeper into his heart. His father always told him women were poison, especially the pretty ones. Why hadn’t he listened? Well, he was listening now.

When Sage and Orion meet over a bloody couch, the gates are opened to a path neither of them is quite ready to travel on. Will they stumble? Will it be all uphill? Or will the end of the path be just the new beginning they need?

About the Author:

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

 

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

 

She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.

Defending 🏒 Available Now

Defending by Jami Davenport is available now!

https://geni.us/Defending
Available on All Platforms


Much to my utter dismay, the Portland Icehawks chose me in the expansion draft, and now my estranged father is my hockey coach. No one on the team knows he’s my dad. They think he’s a distant relative I don’t get along with. They’re right about that last part. We hate each other. He blames me for the death of my sister, and I blame myself, too. He’s unfairly targeted me, and his constant criticism is destroying my confidence and my game.

The only thing I look forward to is my time spent working with the homeless, especially one feisty, attractive female, but neither of us do relationships because those require trust and commitment, and we’re too scarred to take the risk.

Can we conquer our demons so I can rescue her from the streets, and she can rescue me from my past?

No Small Bet 💛 Cover Reveal

Samantha Christy has revealed the cover for No Small Bet!

Releasing February 27, 2023
 

• Single Dad

• Grumpy Heir

• Arrogant Tyrant

I’m not a dad. I don’t care what any paternity test says.

My grandfather thinks he can manipulate me into being a parent. He can’t. No one can. Not even the pudgy-faced newborn I’ve reluctantly agreed to take home from the hospital.

I’m not a dad. But I’ve also never accepted a bet I can’t win.

One year with the kid. That’s all I have to do to double my trust fund. Fail and I could lose everything.

But I can’t do it on my own, and the only nanny that has lasted longer than two days is forbidden. In a major way. Maybe that’s why she’s become my obsession. Even if she comes from my enemy.
