“I’m not sure I’m ready to do this,” she says from the other room.
“Get your ass out here or I’m coming in to get you.”
“I’d take great pleasure in slamming and locking the door in your face if there were any doors in this place,” she grumbles, and I chuckle.
Elizabeth tentatively walks out of the bedroom, her nervousness apparent by the way her hands fidget at her sides, and my mind goes blank for a second.
She’s wearing the two-piece bikini set I bought her in New York because I liked the color. I never thought she would actually wear it, because sweet, pious Elizabeth wouldn’t be caught in something so scandalous. But she’s not that girl anymore, is she?
My gaze follows the path of her butterfly tattoos before my eyes land on the vertical scar that starts at her navel. My fantasies of her in it are nothing compared to the magnificent reality standing before me now.
“Stop it, Fallon.” She covers her abdomen with her hands. “The way you’re looking at me is exactly why I’m not ready to expose myself like this.”
“How am I looking at you?”
“You’re scowling like my scars either disgust you or you pity me because of them.”
I didn’t realize I was scowling. Seeing the reminders of what happened to her makes me want to burn the entire world to the ground.
“Disgust was the furthest thing from my mind, I can assure you,” I reply.
“You pity me, then.”
I slowly approach her. “Wrong again.” I give in to the temptation to touch what can never be mine. Moving her hands away from her abdomen, I trail my fingers up the soft skin of her arms, and she shivers. My fingers glide down the curves of her torso, and she pulls in a shaky breath. I tempt fate by splaying my hand across her stomach, my thumb running soft circles around her navel. “Does this feel like pity to you?”
He spun suddenly, still holding me to him, and took two steps before bracing me on the edge of the kitchen table. “Can you be quiet?”
Oh fuck yes. I nodded, and pressed my teeth harder into my lip. I wasn’t sure what he had in mind. I doubted he planned to have me right here with his kids asleep upstairs. But his gaze was all sorts of serious, and I’d agree to just about anything if it meant I could feel him. His touch. His mouth. Any of him.
He glanced down at my sleep shorts and groaned. “Do these even cover your ass.”
I smirked. “Mostly.”
He slowly looked back up my body as his fingers danced along the hem of my shorts. I braced my hands behind me and leaned back, giving him more access.
“You like teasing me?” His thumb disappeared under the fabric of my shorts and pressed hard against my clit.
My hips bucked and his grip tightened on my hip, holding me still.
“I like the way you look at me.”
“And how do I look at you?”
I stared at him, trying to find the right words to describe it. “Like you couldn’t possibly go another minute without kissing me. Or touching me.”
“That is very accurate.” He smiled. “Even if you were wearing sweats that covered your gorgeous body, I’d still want to touch you. To feel your lips against mine.”

Dayton Calloway and I wouldn’t have gotten together if it weren’t for two pink lines.
After getting divorced, Francisca Dawson is attempting to find out who she is and how she wants her life to look. One thing she knows is that there isn’t room for a man in that equation. But then she meets Dayton Calloway. A man who is charming, funny, and unbelievably gorgeous. Unable to deny their connection, she gets lost in the moment and gives into his dirty mouth and skilled hands.
Actions have consequences.
Dayton knew that he never wanted to get married or have children. His upbringing before he entered foster care showed him that. So he took all precautions to make sure that wasn’t a possibility.
But like they say nothing is ever one hundred percent.
Now, he’s picturing life as a father and coming to terms with the possibility of having everything he never knew he wanted with a woman who is not only taking up space in his life, but that empty space in his chest.
Before you go, do you take a chance and risk it all, or do you just let go and possibly miss out on the most beautiful love you’ve ever known? That’s what Dayton and Francisca will have to figure out.
The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.
Then she started her new business across the street from mine.
The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.
Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.
I want her.
Lyndee
A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.
I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.
An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.
Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.
Alder Duke was my high school sweetheart turned husband, then he became a stranger who wanted his freedom. I gave it to him.
Fifteen years later, I’m a single mom who desperately needs a place to live. He’s a powerful CEO who needs a wife in order to get the house he grew up in, thanks to a trust his grandma left behind.
He makes a deal with me: get married to him—again—and live with him for a year. Once the house is in his name, we can divorce—again—and he’ll rent the place to me.
Just one year. No strings. No feelings. Simple.
But nothing about my ex-husband is simple. Gone is the man who wanted to stay out all night drinking with his buddies. This Alder cooks and cleans and unclogs sinks in gray sweatpants. He gets my stubborn daughter to like him. And with me? He looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world.
I can’t fall for his sweet daisy whispers. I know how it ends. This time we planned it. My life was already derailed by him once, and I barely came out intact. He’s had my heart forever, but he only gets one year.
💛Review💛 Even though as a teenager Alder loved Daisy he wasn’t ready to be a husband, and those mistakes ended his marriage. In the years since he has built a successful career and is no longer the man he used to be so when Daisy comes back into his life not only is it an opportunity to inherit his grandmother’s house but to fight for a second chance with his first and only love.
When Daisy married Alder she had dreams for the future but when he couldn’t give her what she needed she had to leave. She is now divorced and a single mother to her daughter looking to build a new life so a temporary marriage to Alder will give them both what they need but she also knows she needs to protect her heart.
The feelings between Daisy and Alder were never in question and it is finally their time. They both realize how special what they shared was even though they had a difficult past to overcome.
A reclusive former celebrity, a recovering good girl, and small town trouble…
It started as a joke. After a string of bad boyfriends, I made up a fake boyfriend so people would quit asking when I was going to meet a grumpy lumberjack trying to save his mama’s inn in my adopted hometown.
When my grandma demanded proof from afar, I sent her a picture of me and my “boyfriend.”
Spoiler alert: He wasn’t really my boyfriend.
He was actually a reclusive former boy band member who swings through town sometimes and is friends with my friends.
As much as a reclusive former boy bander can be friends with anyone, that is.
He doesn’t know I told anyone he’s my boyfriend. Or that his name is Steve.
So when Grandma sends the guy she’d rather me marry to town to make sure “Steve” is good enough for me—and to talk me into marrying him instead—I have something of a problem.
But I got myself into this mess, so I’ll get myself out.
By proposing.
Relax, relax, I’m proposing a fake wedding.
And when he turns me down, I can say we broke up.
Except he doesn’t turn me down.
Instead, he offers me a trade.
He’ll pretend to be my groom, but I have to do something for him in return.
And that something?
Hoooo, boy.
I liked the man better when he was my pretend boyfriend Steve.
The Pretend Fiancé Fiasco is an action-packed romcom featuring the reclusive final member of the boy band Bro Code, a recovering good girl with too many men interested in her for all the wrong reasons, a treasure hunt, a fake engagement, and the best surprise to hit the Copper Valley universe since the Fireballs’ new mascot was revealed. This small town romcom stands alone, but you wouldn’t go wrong to read both the Copper Valley Bro Code and Copper Valley Fireballs series, along with Dirty Talking Rival, to catch all of the easter eggs.

Now, Fiona O’Malley and Kirill Petrov will have to let go of their preconceived notions, emotional scars, and everything they knew to be true about themselves.
My brother arranged for me to marry a stranger, one marked with a diagonal scar across his face and a tattoo necklace on his hand.
Neither disgusts me. They also aren’t what scares me.
Kirill Petrov’s a sworn enemy of our family and King of the Underworld. A towering man with darkness in his gaze, an unspoken promise of what he’ll do to me, and something so deep in his expression it hurts my heart.
Yet the blaze of his allure only grows hotter, singing, until I can’t resist him any longer… until I’m his Queen wearing his necklace night after night, staring at the beast inside his soul.
If I could, I’d kill that beast until the world saw my husband as the man I see—the man I love.
Except I give him my heart before I learn the full truth. And once you see the unforgettable, how can you go back? How can you forgive your husband for sins that aren’t his, yet he’s tied to? Especially when the people you love got hurt in the most vile of ways?
Bride by Coronation is a standalone novel with interconnected characters and book two of The Underworld series. This dark, secret society, Mafia, enemies to lovers, forbidden, arranged marriage, and emotional scars novel is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.
I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.
I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.
Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.
We shared more than a moment.
Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.
No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.
Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.
I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.

New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance novels that make you work to get your happily ever after. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes, who we love to hate but can’t help but love.
Since publishing her first book on a whim in 2013, Kristy has sold over two million copies of her books across twenty different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over thirty times. (She still wakes up and asks herself how she got so lucky for all this to happen.)
A mom of three, Kristy finds the only thing harder than finishing the book she’s writing is navigating parenthood during the teenage years (send more wine!). She loves dogs, sports, a good book, and is an expert procrastinator. She lives in Southern California with her family.
Being betrayed by the man Dylan should have been able to trust is difficult enough but finding out that their lives will still be tied professionally only makes it worse. Needing some time and space to heal she finds herself staying with Grady, her brother’s best friend.
Dylan is still trying to make peace with the past and what he could have done differently. He tries to keep his emotions hidden and doesn’t believe he deserves comfort or happiness however Dylan doesn’t feel the same way.
This is a heart wrenching story about love, loss and a new beginning. Both Dylan and Grady are going through a tumultuous time in their life, and I enjoyed the way they helped each other find a path forward and a love they never expected to find.
I stopped believing in the good a long time ago. My childhood was stripped from me one dark night and I was forever changed. Everywhere I looked I saw evil. Everyone I met, I looked at them as the enemy. It took a long time for me to open up and when I did I found my family. The only people I could count on. I never imagined I’d have a family. Because having a family gave me something to lose and I never wanted to feel that pain again. I never wanted to feel weak.

He wasn’t looking for anything more than one night and here I am, telling him he’s now tied to me forever. Like I said, I’m a mess.
