Confident. Curvy. A city girl who belonged to a world I could never touch.
But I married her anyway thinking I could keep her at arm’s length and still call her mine. I never let her all the way in. Never let her see how deep she got under my skin. And now she’s done pretending that’s enough.
When she hands me divorce papers, I expect her to run back to her perfect, polished life. But she doesn’t.
She gets a job slinging coffee in town like she’s not tearing my whole damn world apart.
So I give her an ultimatum—thirty days in my bed, living like we used to. After that, I’ll sign.
Only I won’t. Because the truth is, I never stopped wanting her. I never stopped needing her. And if I can’t tear down these walls I built to keep her out, I’m going to lose the only woman I’ve ever loved. For good.
Dustin believed the best way to show his wife he cared was by trying to give her an affluent lifestyle like she was raised in. When he receives divorce papers he realizes that his success on the rodeo circuit means nothing if it means that he loses Annie in the process.
Annie is tired of being alone and Dustin not sharing his feelings with her. She has concluded that he doesn’t care but when she sends him divorce papers she is about to realize what he is willing to do to show her that he has always loved her.
The love and chemistry between them was always there and I enjoyed seeing Dustin make the changes to show Annie that she is the most important thing in his life and everything else comes second.

I should’ve stayed away from the two men who make me want to love again.
I came to Anchor Bay to escape the grief and guilt drowning me alive, never expecting to meet Liam, the sexy cowboy who makes me want to love again. He’s two decades older, bossy about my bad eating habits, and has no clue I’m still a virgin. Just as I’m ready to give us a chance, a tatted bad boy from my past and his lovable dog saunter into my vet clinic, determined to relight the spark from high school.
The two men are strangers, and both make it known that they want me. Can I have my dominant cowboy andchildhood best friend, or will they make me choose?
Between the unnerving calls and threatening texts, someone out there doesn’t want me to be happy with the two men who make me scream their names.
With the danger haunting me and the threat lurking around Anchor Bay, we’re all on edge, ready for anything.
She’s horribly unqualified…and everything they both need.
Travis
The last time I saw my ex-fling, she was toasting her engagement to a record producer. So when I heard she’d had a baby, I assumed he was the father…until she showed up at my house seven years later with a little boy and said, “Your turn.”
I’m a musician. My life is already loud and chaotic enough, and it’s definitely not kid-friendly. But I was raised by a nanny, and I see no harm in finding one for my son.
Too bad he rejects every single person I hire.
The only person he actually likes? Not a nanny. She’s a friend of a friend and the former floor manager at a brewery. But she has just enough childcare experience that I offer her the job out of desperation…and instantly regret it.
Hannah is a bossy, opinionated, loud-mouthed hurricane of a woman who tests my patience, my sanity, and my number one rule: don’t fall for the nanny.
Hannah
Let the record show, I am not a professional nanny. I did, however, raise my little brother, so I know my way around a juice box and a tantrum. Which is more than Travis can say.
My new boss is uptight, obsessive, and needs more help than his kid does.
I was determined to pop in, whip things into shape, and leave, but the more I get to know them, the more I want to stay…

The Race Fever series from New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett continues as one of the hottest drivers to hit the Formula International circuit makes waves across the racing world in Formula Freedom, a forbidden romance standalone.
Reid Hemsworth is still a relatively new face in the racing world but hasn’t wasted any time making a name for himself. No stranger to standing on the podium, Reid’s success isn’t all champagne showers and post-race parties. He may be considered a rising star in the sport, but to his brother, Lance, Reid stole his chance at racing glory and that can never be forgiven.
Lara Candlish grew up with the Hemsworth brothers, the three of them wasting away the hours of their youth riding waves together in the Australian surf. But as they got older and Reid’s career started to take off, their trio splintered under the weight of Lance’s jealousy. In the end, one brother had the career and one got the girl, but they both wanted what the other had.
When Lara finds herself trapped in an increasingly volatile relationship, she turns to the one man she knows she can trust above anyone else—Reid. Harboring deep feelings for much of his life, Reid doesn’t hesitate to bring Lara into his inner circle to provide her with the safety that she needs, no matter how much that might infuriate his brother. Their forced proximity quickly uncovers feelings he thought he’d left behind and Reid is prepared to act on them. But when his brother finds out that Reid now has the career and the girl, the situation goes from bad to worse.
As the relationship between Reid and Lara intensifies, so does the danger, and one truth becomes abundantly clear. Reid will stop at nothing to protect the one thing he now knows he can never live without—Lara.
I’ve done everything right—built a career, climbed the corporate ladder, and put the family business first. But when my father tries to turn my love life into a merger deal, I realize it might be time to finally break a rule or two.
So I do something completely out of character: I run.
One impulsive flight, one sketchy boat rental, and one minor shipwreck later, I wash up off the coast of Maine only to be rescued by a grumpy (and unfairly attractive) harbormaster who thinks I’m a walking, talking disaster.
He’s rugged, grounded, infuriating, and annoyingly good at saving me.
I’m only here for the summer—just long enough to clear my head, avoid my father’s matchmaking schemes, and figure out what I want.
Falling for a man who navigates fog better than his own feelings? Not part of my plan.
But between lobster rolls, starry nights, and kisses I can’t stop thinking about, I start to wonder if I’m no longer escaping something… but finding something worth staying for.

The Reluctant Siren by Lexi Blake is now live in audio!
Narrated by: Kitty Bang, Ryan West & Lee Samuels
Harlow Dawson went through something terrible while working a case in Los Angeles. She fell in love. To be fair, the love part wasn’t so bad, but the betrayal left her devastated and in police custody. She returned home to decide how to move forward. One thing was for certain. Her life wouldn’t include Jensen Wiley. Two years later she’s back on her feet, working with her best friend, and building her business. She’s been falling for a new guy at The Hideout. Niall Griffen makes her feel safe. Until she learns his secret at the worst possible time.
Jensen Wiley has spent years working his way up in the criminal organization that took his brother’s life. The only thing that ever threatened to break his need for revenge was meeting Harlow Dawson. She became his partner until he realized she was being drawn into the darkest part of the organization. He had very little time to get her out and didn’t think she would go quietly. He knows his betrayal saved her life, but he hasn’t stopped loving her. Now they’re in the same city and he needs someone watching over her. He means to keep his distance until she walks right into the middle of his mission.
Niall Griffen has worried about his best friend, Jensen, for years. When Jensen asks him to watch over the woman he loves, Niall reluctantly agrees. The trouble is he falls for her too. If nothing happens, he doesn’t feel there’s any reason to talk to his friend about their unrequited love triangle. But after one night together changes everything, Niall knows he needs a new plan to make sure no one gets their heart broken. The good news? Harlow comes from a family with an interesting dynamic. He just might be able to make this work for all of them.
Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.
🎧Review🎧 It’s been two years since Harlow was betrayed by the man she loved, and it is only recently that she has been able to consider letting another man into her life. She was attracted to Niall from the beginning, but she is also cautious and when she enlists his help she realizes that there was a good reason for that when she finds out he has connections to her past.
When Jensen left Harlow it thought it was the best thing he could do for her but even though he wasn’t with her physically he didn’t abandon her. When her case brings her back into his life the one thing he knows is he isn’t about to let her walk away.
Niall had reasons for coming into Harlow’s life but that didn’t diminish the feelings he had for her. Now that all three of them find themselves in forced proximity they will finally have to face the feelings between them as well as the past.
The audio performance by Lee Samuels, Kitty Bang and Ryan West brought out the entertaining banter, the great chemistry and the suspense. It was great getting to see the relationship unfold between Harlow, Jensen and Niall and seeing the dynamics between the rest of the characters was great as well.

Mabel Muldowney is my best friend’s little sister. Sky-blue eyes. The girl who chased us through fields in pink shoes and dreamed about leaving our small town for the city.
I’m the boy from the farm next door who wasn’t supposed to fall for her.
I loved her anyway. Even when I shouldn’t. Even when I swore I wouldn’t. I buried it—every glance, every urge.
But I slipped–one time–when we were teenagers.
It was raining. We were under a willow tree.
She was ready to give me her heart, but I couldn’t be the guy who reached for his best friend’s sister. So I pulled away and built a life rooted in discipline and distance.
Then my best friend died. And Mabel left for the city.
Now she’s back with nothing but secrets and a suitcase. It’s the second chance I’ve been praying for. But she doesn’t want to stay, and I can’t leave. I’m held to the land by the promise I made to her brother as he took his final breath.
Mabel thinks I’ve spent my life ignoring her. What she doesn’t know is she’s all I’ve ever seen. I’ve got eight weeks to show her this town could be home again. Eight weeks to prove my love.
💕Review💕 Mabel has always felt like she never belonged in her hometown, but she always had her brother. When he passed away she realized how alone and unsupported she really was and she believed that Cal, her brother’s best friend and the man she has feelings for felt the same. She decided to leave and created a new life for herself but when it all comes crashing down she had no other choice but to return.
Cal has always had feelings for Mabel but between his loyalty to her brother and her father he didn’t act on them. Now that she is back he isn’t about to let her walk out of his life a second time however with their very different visions of the future and the past will he be able to convince her that staying doesn’t mean giving up her dreams.
This is a heartwarming story about second chances and healing from the past. I enjoyed seeing the romance between Cal and Mabel evolve as they create the perfect team to be their for their town and find love and acceptance along the way.

In New Orleans, I’m known as the fun and laid-back LeBlanc brother. The Rebel CEO.
I’m successful and determined, but I don’t play by the rules. Heck, I don’t even have rules except one. I never ever get involved with my assistants. After a very bad experience years ago, I know better than to mix business and pleasure.
I’ve had no problems sticking to my rule until I hired Daisy.
When I first meet her, I have no idea she’s my new temp assistant. I just set eyes on this gorgeous woman at my favorite coffee shop, and do what I do best: flirt with her like there’s no tomorrow. When I realize my mistake, I change the tune. I’m cold and distant but my plan is not working. Not one bit.
Whenever she steps into my office, all I think about is bending her over my desk. When she gives me sass, all I want is to cover her mouth with mine until she begs for more. Daisy is fun and unlike anyone I’ve met, and I gravitate toward her whether I want it or not.
When she suddenly gets a call from home that her family needs help, I immediately take over. All lines blur, but one thing I know for sure, I won’t let Daisy go. I just have to convince her that I’m the one.

I want Liam, but my last boyfriend cheated on me because he thought I was too boring in the bedroom. One night with a stranger is all I need to prove my ex wrong and show Liam it’s more fun to play than watch. Except, Liam has other ideas.
