What do you get when a bashful-as-puck hockey-playing Bigfoot shifter accidentally announces on national TV he’s still a virgin and his best female friend offers to help change his status? Flutters.
Ollie
I did my best to be the best team captain of the Spokane Sasquatch I could be. Even if it meant going out of my comfort zone and being a contestant on Bigfoot Finds a Bride to get publicity for my team. When I won’t have my first kiss be with a stranger and captured on camera results in getting cut from the show, my hockey team trades me away. Now I’m in New Jersey as the newest forward for the Atlantic City Devil Birds and all I want to do is focus on playing hockey. Well, hockey and my sexy cupcake baking roommate Phoebe Albright…
Phoebe
I’ve had a crush on Ollie King ever since his brother married my sister. I knew he didn’t date much but I didn’t realize how innocent he was until he spilled the sprinkles on reality TV. Now he’s been traded to my local hockey team and he’s my roommate. I offer to help him gain more romantic experience and act as his fiancé to allow him to focus on meshing with his new hockey team. I wish it wasn’t fake, but he’d never fall for a woman like me. I fear he’ll appreciate my talents in the bakery more than in the bedroom…
When feelings that were never fake become even more real, will our hearts admit the truth and find forever? Or will fear keep us from risking it all and savoring the sweetest, love?
Heads or tails? The flip of my coin decides how I end your life.
My obsession with Sage Everett runs deeper and darker than the water of Black River—the boundary that divides our land.
I’ve spent years watching the girl next door from beneath the brim of my cowboy hat. Tragedy and family feuds separate us, so I’ve kept my presence in her life unknown.
Until her monsters creep out of the shadows.
My wildflower seeks a savior, and all this gambler needed was a reason.
And that’s how I end up with blood on my hands for the girl tangled up in my heart.
God can’t save you from The Gambler. Not when there’s a debt to collect.
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 🔥Cinnamon roll hero 🔥Fated mates 🔥Psychic heroine 🔥Police MMC 🔥Small Town Romance 🔥Found family 🔥Girl Squad 🔥Slow-burn
Reader alert! If you’re looking for…
a love psychic heroine; a man in uniform; a soul mate connection; small town hijinks; the bonds of found family; a swoony beach romance…
You’ve found the perfect book. Proceed with abandon.
Here’s the thing: I’m a love psychic. I help people find their soul mate. I’m famous for it.
No, I haven’t looked for my own soul mate yet.
Do I believe in love? Absolutely. Do I believe in happily ever after? With another person?? Well…
I’ve never believed my Forever included someone else—I have my parents’ wild divorce to thank for that.
Only I get called out on national television for not having a true love, so to stop the danger to my business, I devise a plan: find my soul mate and go on a few dates with no expectations. Because I don’t really believe in Forever, remember? I can say I tried but it didn’t work out. My business is safe—and so is my heart.
Only when I meet him in the charming Gold Rush town where he’s the police chief, it’s totally love at first sight, like it should be with your soul mate.
For him, not so much. Didn’t see that coming.
And that’s a dilemma, because maybe I DO want him to be my Forever. Except his wall is even taller than mine, and he’s determined to keep me—and love—out of his life.
What if I can’t convince him to give us a chance? It’s more than protecting my business now–my heart is at risk here. Thank goodness the entire town is determined to throw us together. Because failing to win his heart is SO not gonna happen.
Welcome to Rough and Ready, a small town with a notorious past, where the women are still sassy, the men are…well, rough and ready.

I’ve tried to ignore my growing feelings, but that’s impossible. Everywhere I go, there she is—the hockey house, our training facility, and even in my dreams. No matter how much I try to change her opinion, she still hates me. But she doesn’t hate the things we do together when no one else is around.

Alexander, Lord Burlington, has spent ten months coming to terms with being ghosted by the American he could see having a future with. Not to mention Christmas is the one time of year he hates, so the sooner he can escape Valentine Nook, the better.
Haven Wylder tried to forget her week-long fling with the hot Englishman, something made impossible when two lines flashed at the end of a pregnancy test.
Now she’s grappling with motherhood.
Being alone makes it harder and all the more exhausting, but having lost both her parents means she’s determined not to give her daughter the same experience.
She sets out to find the guy who’s taken up way more of her head, and heart, than she intended.
One look at Haven, and Alex casts aside his feelings for Christmas. Instead, he puts his energy into “how to be the best girl dad” and hopes, perhaps, Haven’s sparkle might return. He hasn’t forgotten her smile, the twinkle in her brilliant green eyes, or the way she felt in his arms either.
When he invites them to stay, it’s only a matter of time before the lines are blurred between keeping things platonic and giving in to their undeniable chemistry.
Soon, all that’s left is figuring out how to raise their daughter together from separate sides of the Atlantic.
Haven might have gotten away once, but Alex isn’t making the same mistake twice. He has other plans.
He just needs to convince Haven before she returns to Aspen, and prays she says yes.

🧡Review🧡 Even though they live on different continents Alex hasn’t been able to forget the time he spent with Haven and how he didn’t want it to end. He isn’t sure how to find a path forward until fate steps in and brings Haven to his door with the baby daughter he didn’t know he had and the uncertainty of being a father.
Haven doesn’t regret the time she shared with Alex or Everly, the daughter they created. She wants Alex to be a part of their daughter’s life but she isn’t sure how that can happen but the one thing she does know is that she would do anything for her daughter. Spending time with Alex and Everly allows her to appreciate the beautiful gift they have been given and that she doesn’t have to do everything by herself.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Alex and Haven develop as they go from individuals to a family with the support of each other and his family. They take us on a heartwarming journey that incorporates humor, heart and a wonderful life that neither saw coming.
The moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I’m thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.
In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.
The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.
But I should know better than to open my heart to a cold-blooded criminal with a laundry list of deadly sins and secrets. Especially when he has no idea who I really am.
Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of sins and secrets of my own.
