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?

Tasty Pickle 🥒 Available Now

Title: Tasty Pickle

Series: Everything Tasty #2

Author: JJ Knight

Genre: Standalone Romantic Comedy

Trope: Opposites Attract

Release Date: January 20, 2023

BLURB

Surely nobody has ever met their great love while using duct tape to pull cactus needles out of their girl parts on a mountain trail.

Except I just did.

Let me tell you about Axel Pickle.

He’s a bronzed god.

Totally outdoorsy.

Worth half a billion after selling his nature app.

And he hikes naked.

He showed up in nothing but his hiking boots when I ran shrieking onto his private property after peeing on a prickly pear and being unable to put my pants back on.

We’ve been staring at each other’s private parts from the moment we first laid eyes on each other.

But I can’t date him.

I shouldn’t even talk to him.

And why he’s showing up at the hotel deli where I work, volunteering to slice the salami is a mystery to me.

I’m running from a terrible situation, and I need to keep my head down and avoid the world.

But something about the way Axel looks at me gets under my skin.

And this time, no duct tape in the world can yank the hooks he’s set in my wary, introverted soul.

Tasty Pickle is a full-length standalone rom com about the most charming, witty, completely useless hunk of man-meat ever to nature walk au naturel, a skeptical, purposefully underachieving deli worker, and the ghost pepper pickle relish that brings them together with a kiss so fiery that it ends up requiring medicated lip gloss.

It is part of the bestselling Pickleverse, but you do not need to read any other books before this one. You can start your outrageous adventure into the world of the Pickles right here.

EXCERPT

First, I was forced on a hike by my employer.

Then, I got tired and slowed down for like fifteen seconds and somehow lost the group.

Then, I got pelted with nuts by maniac squirrels with a grudge.

I ran in the direction where I thought the group was headed and lost the trail completely.

Of course, I had no cell signal.

Of course.

Just like a horror movie.

I started stress-drinking Gatorade.

Then, I had to pee.

So, I popped a squat.

Apparently on a cactus hidden in the brush.

Tiny spines attached to my girl parts.

And now, I’m on my back, my cactus-impaled vajajay flashing in the sun, my yellow daisy underwear caught on my ankle.

I would like very much to be eaten by a mountain lion.

I can think of nothing else to do, so I close my eyes, lay my head in the dirt, and wish for death.

Then something nudges my shoe.

Uggh.

I ignore it.

Nudge.

No. I’m dead. Death has become me.

Nudge.

“Hey.”

Someone is here. Great.

I open one eye in a squint. A man stands over me like a bronzed god, wearing a backpack, a neckerchief, and hiking boots. And nothing else.

🥒Review🥒
Feeling stifled by the life she was expected to life Calypso finds herself trying to discover what will truly make her happy and where better than a castle in Colorado. A scenic hike takes a turn when she gets to see Axel in all his glory, and he gets an eyeful in return. Due to the situation her life is in she is uncertain about letting anyone too close but Axel doesn’t have the same feelings.

The first meeting between Axel and Calypso is an image he can’t get out of his mind and he isn’t about to let it end there. The feelings he has for her are unexpected and he believes that after their first meeting that he sees the man and not the money which only makes him more determined.

Humorous and hot Calypso and Axel were so much fun together. It all begins with a hiking adventure no one could see coming and only gets better from there especially when you add in the hijinks you can always expect from the rest of his family.

Indecent Proposal 💜 Available Now

Release Date: January 19

It wasn’t every day that I was shot at by a sniper. But this was now my life, being hunted by someone my (dead) ex-fiancé had crossed. They thought I had something he’d taken, and they weren’t going to stop until they had what they wanted.

I went to the best security company around, but what I ended up with was a bodyguard who was as hot and tempting as he was grumpy and annoyingly bossy. Vaughn reluctantly took me on as a client, despite my inability to pay, and put me in his own personal safehouse with a set of rules to follow.

But a few of those rules? Yeah, I broke them just because I knew it would provoke him. What I didn’t anticipate was the kind of punishment he decided to dole out . . . and it wasn’t long before we went from enemies, to lovers, and an indecent proposal was struck between us.

We both swore it was all temporary, but the closer Vaughn gets to finding out who is after me and why, I realize walking away from this man might be much harder than I’d ever imagined.

The suspicious death of her ex-fiance is only the beginning of Claire’s problems as she believes that her life is in jeopardy however law enforcement doesn’t agree. She decides that she needs to hire private security but just as she tries to convince Vaughn to help her she is threatened once again.

After retiring from the military Vaughn has opened a security firm with two friends. He is the only one available when Claire needs his help so he takes her to a safe house while he tries to uncover who is behind the threats and why but he never expected his biggest challenge would be his attraction to Claire.

Claire is feisty and fiery which not only infuriates Vaughn but makes him want her more. Hot chemistry and a little suspense as Claire and Vaughn find love when they least expect it and I am looking forward to his partner’s stories as well.

Meet Erika Wilde

Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.

So, why the new pen name?

As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you’ll care about and fall in love with. That is always my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.

Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s sizzling new relationship.

I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates. Sign up to receive my newsletter for updates and news!

🌸Review🌸

Egan has distanced himself from his dark past first with Hidden Justice and now as a successful businessman. He has had feelings for Sophia for a while and has been showing her with his thoughtful actions what she means to him. Just when he convinces her to let him be more than her friend his past resurfaces with a vengeance which places everyone he cares about in danger.

Sophia has loved and lost so she is cautious about letting anyone too close. She is focused on her demanding career as a doctor, but Egan makes it difficult to distance herself with the way that he is always there for her. When his past places them both in danger she isn’t about to walk away as she now knows that she can trust him with her heart and her life.

Egan is swoony as Sophia is his whole world and he is so protective and caring while Sophia may have taken some time to allow her in his life but once he was there, she was determined to be by his side despite the threats they were facing. The other characters we know and love were also there to support Egan and Sophie and the epilogue allows us to catch up with everyone and see the wonderful lives they have built.

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Because I’m Yours 💙 Release Blitz

Because I’m Yours by Claire Contreras is now live!

Lenora De Luca

I’ve always been a good girl.
The perfect daughter.
The perfect sister.
And, in two weeks, I’m supposed to become the perfect wife.
I don’t know or like the man my father chose to marry me off to but I have no say in the matter.
That’s why when I see Rocco Marchetti, the man I’ve had a crush on my entire life, I decide he’ll be my first.
When he looks at me it’s electric and I know he wants me.
We keep stealing glances and hiding smiles, but I want more.
I want one night with him.
So what if I’m the daughter of the most feared man in organized crime?
So what if he’s my overprotective brother’s best friend?
It’s just one night.

Rocco Marchetti

Lenora De Luca is as forbidden as they get.
She’s also kind, and thoughtful, and makes my d . . . makes it hard to think.
It starts off innocent enough, just flirting, but then she kisses me and tells me she wants to spend one night with me.
It’s wrong on so many levels, but I don’t even try to deny that I want her.
I tell myself that it’ll be her wedding present (I know I’m sick, get over it).
I’ve had plenty one nightstands that end amicably.
Lenora can’t possibly be any different.
As long as her brother doesn’t find out, things will be fine.
I usually strategize and think through every decision, but something about her makes me walk right into the fire.

💙Review💙
Lenora has always done what was expected of her and that includes the upcoming nuptials that her father arranged with a man she doesn’t want to marry. Before that happens she wants to create a memory that will carry her through the rest of her life and she wants that memory to be with Rocco, her brother’s best friend.

Rocco is a powerful man who is used to facing every situation head on however Lenora is unlike any challenge he has ever faced before. He knows that is best for both of them to keep his distance however once the spark ignites it blazes into an inferno that neither is prepared for.

The banter between them is entertaining and the chemistry intense as these two captivating characters take us on an emotional and suspenseful ride.

Chapel Bend 💙 Cover Reveal

Kristen Proby has revealed the gorgeous cover for Chapel Bend!

Releasing: May 16, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Chapel Bend, an enemies to lovers, small town romance in her beloved series, Huckleberry Bay!

There’s a fine line between love and hate.

In Huckleberry Bay, Oregon, everyone knows that when it comes to Juniper “June” Snow – what you see is what you get. When you hire her construction company to do a job, it’s done right, on time, and on budget. When she’s your friend, she’s a ride-or-die who will support you no matter what. And when you’re her enemy…well, she can hold a grudge.

And she’s never forgotten how the tall, dark, and delicious Apollo Winchester hurt her so many years ago.

In a small town, it’s impossible to ignore someone who greets you with a death glare every time you meet. Apollo can’t recall why June hates him, but it doesn’t stop him from stirring her up every chance he gets. There’s something about her stubborn, “don’t mess with me” attitude that keeps him coming back for more. But June is his sister’s best friend and permanently on the “off-limits” list.

June puts aside her war with Apollo and hires him to work on her most important project, the renovation of a chapel into her dream home. She wants the best…and Apollo is the best . . . on the job site and in her bed. He won’t turn down the chance to spend more time with June, especially when it’s clear that she wants him as much as she hates him. Proximity leads to opportunity, and opportunity leads to steamy times between the sheets.

But a mystery threatens June and Apollo will protect her and their growing connection, no matter the cost.

Mia doesn’t remember a time that she hasn’t loved her brother’s best friend Ash however since his heart belongs to another she had begun to give up hope that they could ever be more than friends. It appears that he is ready to move forward with his life but she is uncertain if she can trust him with her heart or if she is just a way to help him get over his broken heart?

Ash has finally realized that the woman he really needs in his life is Mia and not the woman who didn’t choose him. Now he must show Mia how much she means to him and that they are meant to be together before he loses the best thing that ever happened to him.

The relationship between Mia and Ash was difficult as for so long it was a case of unrequited love that Mia had for Ash and that Ash had for another woman but once he changes course there was no denying they were meant to be together and we realize that there is a bigger plan even if we don’t know what it is at the time.
