From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, pro hockey romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a hero who falls first and harder than he ever expected.
I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out. The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.
It’s the only explanation for how one moment of weakness turns into a night I can’t forget. And the worst part? I can’t stop. It’s too damn good.
Two pink lines change everything.
Suddenly I’m living with the one man who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Only Oliver isn’t who I thought he was. He’s patient. Attentive. Protective. And somehow, day by day, he makes it impossible to pretend he’s not everything I’ve been too terrified to want.
Now I can’t help wondering if what started as a mistake… Might just be the beginning of forever.
Show Me Forever is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance packed with off-limits workplace tension, a one-night stand, a surprise pregnancy, and a hero who was all in from page one. It’s book three in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

🏒Review🏒 It has been ingrained into Rina that men don’t stay, and she needs to focus on her career so that she can be self sufficient and not have to rely on anyone. This is why she is cautious when Oliver starts to break through her walls as she knows that if anyone found out they were together, let alone that she was expecting his baby, that her PR career for the team he plays for would be over.
Oliver has had feelings for Rina for a while and once they give in to the chemistry between them he isn’t about to let it end. Finding out she is pregnant only make him more determined that they will be together and he will show her that he is the one man she can count onto always be there for her.
I really enjoyed the special relationship that Rina had with her friends and the camaraderie between the team. From the beginning Oliver is all in and he will do whatever is necessary to show her that they belong together and not just because of the baby but because of their feelings for each other. Jason Clarke brings the charm and heat when it comes to Oliver while Mollie Stark brings the sass and the emotions of Rina and together they were perfection.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being in the hospital with stitches in my head and no way out makes me pretty desperate. So I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.
But what do I get?
Accused of being a prostitute. Talk about a waste of phone minutes.
With plan A a no-go, I move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, I’m nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.
When he pretends to be my boyfriend, I’m shook. And even more shook when I discover this is the rude guy from the app.
Turns out he’s not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I go along with the lie anyway, thinking I can ditch him as soon as I’m free.
Except that doesn’t happen.
I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.
Then my apartment is broken into, and I’m running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, something he seems more than capable of… Which is kinda odd for a real estate agent, right?
As the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if I’ll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.

Lee Orrico is stuck. The family he depended on to care for his daughter since he lost his wife is moving on and moving out. Having his best friend Stella become his live-in nanny while he works as the team chiropractor for the Brooklyn Bats seems like the right idea. Until the combination of close quarters and cozy nights ignites an attraction that Lee never saw coming.
After years on the road in a job she never liked and a messy breakup, Stella Parker is ready to come back to Brooklyn to make it a real home for herself, not just a pit stop. Moving in with Lee to help care for his adorable daughter is the perfect temporary solution…except it means moving in with the man she’s always been secretly in love with.
Her once-forbidden love for her best friend was always just a one-sided fantasy, but the lingering touches, long looks, and almost kisses make her start to wonder if this love isn’t so unrequited anymore.
The passion between Lee and Stella is undeniable. But Lee isn’t sure he can love again – he barely survived the loss of it the first time.
Still, the heart he didn’t think would beat for anyone else… wants Stella.
And Stella has always wanted Lee. The question is, does Lee really love her back?
Or is she just a pinch hitter for the real love of his life?
In High School, Daphne Elliot was voted “most likely to become a romance novelist.” After spending the last decade as a corporate lawyer, she has finally embraced her destiny. Her small town steamy novels are filled with flirty banter, sexy hijinks, and lots and lots of heart.
Daphne is a coffee-drinking, hot-sauce loving introvert who spends all her free time in her garden. She lives on a small farm in New England with her husband, two kids, two dogs, twelve backyard chickens and a hive of Italian honeybees.
As a single mom rebuilding my life from scratch, I don’t need help. And I definitely don’t need the attention of a six-foot-three maple farmer with a beard and a hero complex who looks at me like I’m a problem he didn’t sign up for.
My landlord is broad-shouldered, permanently unimpressed, and entirely too comfortable telling me when I’m wrong. I think he’s grumpy, rigid, and overprotective. He thinks I’m chaos in Crocs.
Falling for Josh Lawrence was never part of the plan.
But then he starts showing up.
For my son when he’s overwhelmed.
For my daughters when they need someone steady.
And for me when my hands won’t stop shaking.
I didn’t come to Vermont looking for a protector. I don’t need rescuing. But somewhere between harvest festivals, pumpkin canoe races, and quiet mornings in the sugar shack, the man I swore was just an annoyance becomes my safe place.
And when my dangerous past resurfaces and threatens the new life I’ve built, the grumpy maple farmer next door becomes my fiercest protector, ready to stand by my side while I fight for my family.
Because it turns out maple farmers are a lot like their trees: quiet, stubborn, and surprisingly sweet when the pressure builds.
Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
I came to Huckleberry Springs to regroup—not to flash a cowboy while rescuing some strays from a ditch.
Haven Hennessy is everything I don’t want anyway: A man who puts himself first. A man who’d rather have fun than face commitment. A man who can charm a girl right out of a good decision. So he can kiss my red lace panties goodbye the moment I figure out how to ditch this town.
Yet he takes in the puppy and three kittens I rescue from the side of the road. He’s loyal to his brothers and his company. And he makes it his mission to give me new experiences, like fly-fishing, horseback rides, and getting naked in a tack room.
My stay in this small Montana town is only supposed to be temporary until I can launch a new career. Am I as wrong about that as I am about Haven? Because he makes me feel something no one else ever has: wanted.
But the more I get to know Haven, the more I realize I was right all along. Haven doesn’t let people in. Not fully. Not when he’s spent his whole life being left behind. So when my dream opportunity finally manifests, I have to leave before I break all my rules and my own heart in the process. I don’t dare fall for his whiskey charm.
What kind of witch are you when you can’t even use your magic? Not a good one that’s for sure.
Alise Davis has always felt the energy of her magic churning just below the surface. The only thing she’s been able to do so far is draw pictures that for some reason, make people feel exactly how she was feeling at the time she drew it–a manifestation of her emotions. But all of a sudden she’s been able to see the animals of the many shifters who live in Springlake Pines. She’d not been able to do that before. And it seems as if her magic is pulling her toward something, or someone. Inquiries to her father uncover her mother’s grimoire and the fact her mother has a twin sister. Family may be just who she needs to get the answers to her magic problem.
The monster has a mate and she is the only one who can make him powerful enough to defeat the one person who has answers for the both of them. His Maker.
Wyatt and I gathered the plates, stacking them up.
“Thanks for doing this.”
“I told you, it wasn’t much effort.”
I swallowed hard, biting my lower lip. Obviously, I was making too much out of everything.
“Just the fact that you thought about doing it speaks volumes about you, Wyatt.”
“All good things, I hope.” The corner of his mouth rose slightly.
I nodded. “Very good things.”
He was close, and then he came closer still. His mouth was suddenly on mine, and it was completely electrifying. He ravaged me. There was no other way to put it. There was nothing hesitant or slow about this man’s kissing. He licked my lower lip, then pressed his mouth hard against mine. His tongue was doing delicious things to me.
I put one hand on his shoulder and the other on his back. Then I lost my head completely. While Wyatt’s hand moved from my waist farther down, I shamelessly felt him up too. His muscles were a delight. After I’d ogled them all week, this felt like a reward. I could touch them to my heart’s content. And I wasn’t holding back at all. Oh yeah, he was so hot.
Wyatt growled against my mouth. I only realized what was happening when he grabbed my hand.
“No.”
Shoot. I’d been about to take off his belt. What. The. Heck. I gasped, taking a step back.
“Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t… I didn’t think.”
He stepped forward, still holding my hand tightly. “Don’t you apologize. I was going to lift you up onto that table.”
“Wyatt—”
He put his fingers across my lips. “Don’t say anything.”
I nodded and swallowed hard.
“This can stay here in the vineyard,” he added,
I opened my mouth, then shook my head. He just smiled.
“You don’t need to say anything.” He looked at my lips intently, then glanced away. “Sage will clear up everything here. Come on, let’s go back to the house.”
“Good idea.”
Except… was it really? It was hard enough to resist his charm out here. I didn’t imagine knowing he was just a few feet away, right next to my bedroom, would make things any better.
Blurb:
Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control.
That’s who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and we’re growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley.
Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because she’s insanely gorgeous.
She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving.
But Kinley isn’t the woman the headlines painted.
She’s not conniving. She’s smart.
She’s not cold. She’s careful.
And she’s not distant. She just won’t allow anyone to get too close.
But that’s all I want.
Despite my intention to stay away from her, I can’t stop fantasizing about kissing her senseless and worshipping her body. Then, when we fly to Napa together to scout a new business, all my good intentions go up in smoke. Spending hours on end with her during the day is too much of a temptation. Sharing the same cabin at night is torture.
I’m tired of pretending I don’t want her in my bed, and my life. More than that, I want to protect her from everyone who hurt her. I’ll fight like hell not only to make her mine, but to earn her trust. Because once I have Kinley, I intend to keep her forever.

Clean eating never tasted so deadly.

Tamsin Blake’s Velvet Scone Café has been struggling ever since Glow opened, and her new Autumn Glow menu is drawing side-eye from wellness enthusiasts who believe she is trying to profit from tragedy. Determined to protect her café and her reputation, Tamsin begins investigating.

But others have reasons to want Liam gone, including his angry ex-girlfriend, a critical local doctor, a furious mother, and even Tamsin’s own cousin who worked at Glow.
With help from Inspector Crumpet the parrot, Professor Pembroke the Maine Coon, and her loyal friends, Tamsin follows a trail of mislabeled powders, shady wellness products, and fake health claims.

I grew up on Wildhaven Storm Ranch, raised on hard work, determination, and tradition. Now I’m fresh out of college and chasing a dream that feels just out of reach—working at the historic Belicourt Resort Hotel while trying to convince my oldest sister, Matty, to let me turn part of our family land into a guest ranch and spa.
The Belicourt has a long-standing reputation for being haunted—full of whispered legends, unexplained sightings, and guests who swear they’re not alone in its halls. I think it’s charming. Mysterious. Marketable. My new boss, Porter Garrison, doesn’t agree. He’s all rules, rigid schedules, and closed doors, and he’d much rather I stick to spreadsheets than old legends and small-town folklore.
But I see potential in the past—in the stories people tell. And behind his cool, controlled exterior and expensive suit, I see the man beneath—the cowboy full of fire and buried passion he’s trying desperately to hide.
Maybe the hotel isn’t the only thing haunted. Maybe some dreams are worth fighting family for. And maybe, after the storm, we both need something to believe in—especially each other.
