THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH

Brit Benson

Release Date: November 14

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Loving her will ruin my life, 

But I’m tired of living a lie.

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless.

The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit,

and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage.

She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece.

Married, invisible, and completely out of place.

Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure.

Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband,

I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything,

and it’s Mabel who I have to thank.

Between stolen glances and whispered truths,

She coaxes me from the darkness,

Until I can no longer hide from the lies I’ve buried under the life I don’t want.

I’m married to a man I’ve never loved.

She’s so far out of reach it hurts to even want her.

But in quiet hotel hallways and backstage corners,

I start to crave things I shouldn’t.

Even if it’s reckless. Even if it’s wrong.

Because with Mabel, I start to feel alive again.

When she touches me, the fog lifts,

And suddenly, I’m not so scared of tearing it all down just to feel the sun.

Mabel enjoys her career as a drummer and her bandmates are more like family than friends however there is still a hole in her life which Aurora seems to fill. She has a challenging past that she would like to remain where it is and the feelings she has for Aurora may be forbidden but they are also undeniable.

Aurora is a relatively new bride who is trying to adjust to her new life when she is offered the tutoring position with the band. For her it is an adventure that she will take and then return to the life she planned however meeting Mabel has her questioning the life she wants and the life she has been living.

Mabel and Aurora take us on angsty emotional journey as these two captivating characters draw you in and have you invested in seeing them find the love and happiness they both deserve. They bring out the best in each other and allow them to be who they are with no reservations.

Blurb:

Doc Hollywood meets It’s a Wonderful Life with a hint of The Santa Clause when a globetrotting toy industry mogul is stranded in this small harbor town days before Christmas.

Despite dreams to explore the world, I’ve never been anywhere other than this small harbor town. Single mom, local postmistress, and one-fourth owner of a failing auto repair shop are all the reasons I’ve remained planted where my roots began.

Hideaway Harbor is layered in love for the holidays, enticing visitors to the coastal area for a seasonal respite, so thanks to an unpredicted blizzard, it’s no surprise when a stranger plows into the town’s welcome sign.

What is a surprise is when he’s suddenly—and rather reluctantly by me—an extended-stay guest in my home thanks to no vacancies in town, some pesky matchmaking, and candy cane martinis on a Monday.

There’s something vaguely familiar about this new visitor. The combination of snow and tinsel colored hair. The well-trimmed matching beard. The laugh lines near his coal-colored eyes. How good he looks in the color red. He’s thoughtful and kind, and has a flair for the holiday season, which makes him most likely to make the top of Santa’s good guy (with a hint of bad boy) list.

After some disappointing news concerning the holidays, the hap, hap, happiest time of the year isn’t feeling so spectacular. But my houseguest’s presence builds a snowstorm of emotions in my chest, making my Christmas wish a transfer to the naughty list . . . with him.

Unfortunately, there’s a mystery behind his origins, and he has “not-staying” written all over him. With places to be before the calendar flips to December twenty-fourth, he’ll soon be gone, and I’ve encountered this heartbreaking, lump-of-coal sensation once before.

No matter how short or sweet his visit, there’s no doubt about the magic we make together, leaving me to wonder if love is the greatest adventure we take.

+ + +

Welcome to Hideaway Harbor – where Christmas charm meets small town – and six amazing authors bring you six original holiday romances steeped in heat, heart, and winter quirkiness which can be read as standalones.

Lumi has never left her hometown, and she is now facing her first Christmas without her son as he is unable to get away from work. Her life is about to take a turn when a swoony stranger is in an accident, and he finds himself staying in town and with Lumi while his car is repaired. She knows she shouldn’t let him get too close especially since even though it seems improbable he bears a striking resemblance to Santa both in appearance and mannerisms.

At first when Saint finds himself stranded in Lumi’s hometown he views it as an inconvenience as he needs to return to help his family with their toy business. After spending time with Lumi, he doesn’t want to leave but he also can’t stay so where do they go from here?

Despite their differences the connection between Lumi and Saint were undeniable and the love between them was never in doubt as they both find what was missing in their lives in each other. Erin Mallon brings out the humor and emotion while Oliver Highpoint brings out the understanding and swoony sides of Saint.

HERO UNEXPECTED

Kait Nolan

Release Date: November 14

I rebuilt my grandmother’s bakery from the ground up. Poured everything I had into making it thrive again—flour, sweat, and a whole lot of tears.

Then she died. And her will blindsided me.

If I’m not married by the time probate closes, I lose the bakery to my mother—the last person who should ever be trusted with it.

Enter Bodie Gibson.
Childhood friend turned enemy. The boy who used to bring me tea and peanut butter sandwiches…
The cop who put my little brother behind bars.

He offers me a way out: a fake marriage that keeps the bakery in my hands and our past buried where it belongs.

It’s just paperwork. A few public appearances. Nothing real.
Except he still looks at me like he sees the girl I used to be.
And when he kisses me it doesn’t feel fake at all.

In a town built on second chances, sometimes the only way forward is to rewrite the ending.

Enemies. One night. And a second chance I never saw coming.

KACEN

I swore I’d never come back to Mustang Mountain.

But when my brother calls, I drop everything—because I owe him more than I can ever repay.

I show up for a holiday party, get guilted into a costume… and run smack into Natalie.

The girl I hurt. The one I never forgot.

She’s curvy, confident, and still looks at me like I’m the villain in her story.

She’s not wrong.

But one heated night, one mistake we both say we regret, and now I can’t stop thinking about her.

I’ve changed. I just need her to believe it.

NATALIE

Kacen is back in town.

Older. Hotter. Still infuriating.

The guy who used to tear me down in high school now wants to help me fix leaky pipes and plan Friendsgiving?

Please.

I don’t care how soft his eyes get or how sweet his apology sounds—I won’t fall for the town bad boy turned holiday handyman.

But then… I do.

I see the man behind the guilt and swagger. And I fall hard.

Until he breaks my trust all over again.

Now the small-town gossip mill is churning, secrets are unraveling, and I have to decide—can I risk my heart one more time?

❤️Review❤️

When his family imploded when he was a teenager Kacen took out his pain on Natalie and there is nothing he regrets more.    Years later he returns to town to help out his brother, but it will also force him to face Natalie and try to convince her how sorry he is.

Natalie still remembers the pain she felt after what Kacen did so when he returns she only wants to distance herself from him.   That is easier said than done when a mutual friend of theirs wants them to make peace with their past.   Giving into the chemistry between them was the easy part and now they must learn to trust each other as well.

The feelings between Natalie and Kacen are strong however when the turmoil escalates they will need their friends and family to show them that what they have is worth fighting for.

MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL

Nicole French

Release Date: November 14

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

HE DOESN’T NEED A WIFE. HE NEEDS A WEAPON.
UNFORTUNATELY, HIS SWEET FAKE FIANCEE IS ABOUT TO BECOME HIS WEAKNESS.

Brendan
They call me the Black Prince.
Heir to Blackguard Equity. First in line for the CEO crown. Ruthless, precise, untouchable—until my father decides to move the goalpost.
No wife, no CEO seat.

So I find the one woman who can play the part.
Simone Bishop. The sweet, small-town candy striper I met years ago, who sat by my father’s bedside when no one else could stand him. She’s sunshine wrapped in an apron, with flour on her hands and eyes too innocent to belong anywhere near me.
But she needs my money. I need her hand.
Four months. One shared address. Zero feelings.

Simple. Until I start wanting to mess up that perfect hair in my bed every night. Until I start wanting to keep her.

Simone
I should’ve said no.
Brendan Black is everything I’ve been taught to avoid—grumpy, bossy, and so intense it feels like my heart’s on a leash when he looks at me. But the family farm is days from foreclosure, and his offer is too good to be real: pretend to be his fiancée, live in his penthouse for four months, and walk away with enough money to save the farm twice over.

I can handle this. I can survive the way his eyes linger. The way he says my name like it’s a command. The way my pulse stutters every time we’re in the same room.

It’s all fake… until it isn’t.

Because somewhere between the first kiss in public and the first kiss in private, I stopped pretending.

And if I’m not careful, the Black Prince is going to ruin me—in the best and worst ways.

MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL is the first standalone novel in the Morally Black Billionaires series.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable sighing, blushing, and an inability to think about anyone but Brendan Black for days. Proceed with swoon-caution.

💍Review💍

Simone has a big heart and her loyalty she loves knows no bounds even if that means marrying a man for business reasons.   This arrangement will give her the financial stability to help her family as well as pursue her dreams however she needs to protect her heart as developing feelings for him would only end in heartbreak.

Brendan has learnt that the only way to succeed is remain focused and not be distracted from his goal of becoming the CEO of the family business.   When his business acumen is not enough and the only way to secure the position is by being married he convinces Simone that the arrangement would be a win-win for both of them however developing feelings for her wasn’t part of the plan.

Both Simone and Brendan have challenging family relationships that they are dealing with as well as the unexpected feelings between them.   The personalities and lifestyles of Brendan and Simone couldn’t be more different however they find the perfect balance in each other as they work together to overcome all the outside forces trying to tear them apart.

Appealed by Jolie Dunn is now live!

Felix Aguado is danger wrapped in a big red bow.

He’s good and he knows it. A different woman every weekend, another fan who admires his work on–and off–the field. It’s paradisiacal. At least, until his temper gets in the way of his career, and he is banished to work at the polo school. His new boss is the only woman immune to his charm, and she can’t stand him or his womanizing ways. All he has to do is prove he’s humble enough to work with amateurs, and he can get back on the field to win with his team.

Lina Averbeck likes her boundaries perfectly outlined. Her barn is organized, her clients love her, and she has curated a perfect life for herself in Golden Meadow. That is, until the cocky polo player she accidentally kissed in the dark months ago is her only hope to contain the overwhelming amount of work it takes to run the polo school. Felix is everything she swore she would stay away from, and she’s not even sure he knows it was her that he kissed.

It’s only a few months of working together, but that doesn’t mean either of them will make it easy.

🐴Review🐴
Managing the polo school is everything that Lina has always wanted even if it isn’t always easy. She will do anything for those she cares about and never wants to disappoint anyone which comes with it’s own set of challenges. She now finds herself working with Felix, a man she shared one memorable kiss with a year earlier, who knows exactly what to do and say to infuriate her.

Felix finds his career as a professional polo player in jeopardy when he once again draws negative attention. In order to redeem himself he finds himself working at the polo school where it will bring Lina back into his life. He knows exactly what to say to get a reaction but as he spends time with her he sees a different side of her and want to protect her from everyone and everything including her good intentions.

Felix is exactly who Lina needs in her life as he gives her the strength to make changes in her life while she is the stabilizing influence in his life that allows him to take a good look at his actions and realize what really matters.

He’s my brother’s best friend.

My childhood obsession.

And now… my bodyguard.

Zach Campbell is assigned to protect me from a stalker.

He looks like he stepped off a movie set—smoldering eyes, chiseled jaw, and body made for sin.

The kind of man who belongs on a magazine cover. Not in my kitchen.

But behind the perfection is a man haunted by guilt—dark, quiet, and always shadowing his smile.

He’s supposed to keep me safe. Not pin me against counters. Not steal the air from my lungs with one look.

But the second he walks through my door, everything changes.

He watches me like he owns me.
Touches me like he’s dying to sin.
And when he finally kisses me?
I’m ruined for anyone else.

He says he’ll protect me at all costs…

But it’s not the stalker I fear.

It’s losing the only man I’ve ever wanted.

🖤Review🖤

Skyler has created a following when it comes to her online baking channel however she has now drawn the attention of the wrong person.    Her brothers are determined to protect her, so they have hired Zach, one of her brother’s best friends, to protect her.   He is the last person she wants hired as she has crushed on him since she was a teenager and her brothers know it.

When Zach sees a picture of Skyler he realizes that she is no longer the girl he remembers but the woman he is destined to be with.    He knows that anything personal should wait until the threat she is facing is over however denying the feelings is proving to become more difficult with every passing day.

Skyler is fierce and sassy while Zach is determined to protect her as they take us on a journey that incorporates romance, suspense and all the feels.
