He’s the league’s most dangerous enforcer. She’s the specialist sent to determine whether he’s too broken to save.Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the truth hits back.

Donovan Locke has a reputation carved in blood and penalty minutes. The league’s most dangerous enforcer, he’s an angry, unapproachable loner who fights harder and refuses to let anyone in. The Portland Wildfire only took him because no one else would, and Locke seems determined to prove every rumor true. He doesn’t do teammates. He doesn’t do relationships. He barely does conversation.

Dr. Livia Cross is quiet, brilliant and controlled. Officially, she’s the Wildfire’s new high-performance consultant. Unofficially, she’s been embedded by the league to evaluate one player.

One risk.
Locke.

Her job is simple: observe him, test him, and determine whether he’s safe to stay on the ice, or too volatile to keep playing. But the man she finds beneath the scowl and silence isn’t what she expected. He’s sharp. Watching. Walled off for a reason. And when sparks ignite where there should only be professionalism, Livia’s carefully built boundaries start to crack.

Locke doesn’t trust easily yet he lets Livia closer than he ever intended, long before he learns she isn’t who he thinks she is. And when the truth comes out, it won’t just shatter their fragile connection… it might end his career.

Dark, emotional, and electric with slow-burn chemistry, LOCKE delivers a gripping workplace romance between a guarded enforcer and the woman sent to evaluate him—until desire becomes danger, and the lines between loyalty and love blur beyond recognition.

Title: Elite Player

Author: Sophie Andrews

Release Date: July 14, 2026

BLURB

Hockey’s biggest playboy knocked me out with a puck. One minute, I’m taking pictures of the team, and the next, I’m in a hospital room. With a fiancé.

Due to his off-ice shenanigans, Nico Tremblay needs to prove to the front office that he has changed his ways or else. So, after he gives me a concussion and sprained writst, he concocts a wild idea to pretend we’re engaged. It would allow him to keep his spot on the team and get my family off my back.

There is only one small problem—no one would actually believe the gorgeous and charming left-winger could ever actually want to marry me, backward and inexperienced Josephine Atkins.

Except when he calls me his fiancée while staring at my lips, I almost believe it. Maybe it’s the concussion or a moment of wild rebellion against everyone I’ve ever known underestimating me…but I agree.

And then there’s no way out of this lie that binds us closer and closer together.

🎧Review🎧

Instead of being supported by the people who should be there for her Jo finds herself being belittled.  As a result, she has tried to distance herself from the situation and is working for the photographer for the hockey team when a flying puck leaves her with a concussion.   When the player responsible wants to make amends she didn’t think it would include pretending to be her fiancé to shield her from her family.

Due to his activities off the ice Nico finds himself in a precarious situation with the team.   He feels guilty for injuring Jo so when he sees her situation with her family he doesn’t hesitate to step up and pretend they are engaged as it is a win-win for them both.  The more time he spends with her and gets to know her he realizes that there is nothing pretend about their feelings but first they both have pasts they need to overcome.

Both Jo and Nico have difficult pasts that will draw you in and have you hoping they find the happiness they both deserve.   They are exactly who the other needs in their lives and even when the turmoil escalates you know that the only place they belong is with each other.  The audio performance by Willa Jaymes and Ryan Lee Dunlap brought out every emotion of the story as well as the depth of the characters.

About Returning to Romance:

Title: Returning to Romance
Author: Jennifer Shirk
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 13, 2026
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Series: Sunny Banks

Synopsis:

Saving her family’s beloved seaside resort was never going to be easy—but falling for the man who could ruin everything wasn’t part of the plan.

Kalinda Wingate is pouring her heart into restoring the Sunshine Sisters Resort, determined to protect the legacy her parents left behind. With renovations stretching her budget, guests dwindling, and the future hanging by a thread, one thing could change everything: a glowing review from the elusive travel critic known only as The Secret Sightseer.

When rumors spread that the mysterious reviewer may be headed to town, Kalinda is determined to make every moment perfect. What she doesn’t know is that the critic is already closer than she thinks.

Clarke Cantor only planned to stay long enough for his sister’s wedding. Instead, he finds himself face-to-face with Kalinda—his first love, the woman he never forgot, and the one person who can never discover the secret he’s keeping. As wedding festivities, quirky mishaps, and the charm of their coastal hometown pull them back together, the sparks between them are impossible to ignore.

But with old wounds still lingering and a life-changing secret standing between them, Kalinda and Clarke must decide whether love deserves a second chance—or if some mistakes are too painful to forgive.

A heartwarming small-town romance filled with second chances, hidden identities, family bonds, and all the cozy seaside charm readers love.

🩵Review🩵

Kalinda is determined to ensure the success of the resort not just for financial reasons but emotional reasons as well.   When she learns that a secret reviewer is coming to rate their resort she needs to ensure that it goes well as a positive rating could bring in new guests while a negative review could destroy any progress they have made so she doesn’t need the turmoil of the return of the man who left her with a broken heart.

Clarke has come to the resort for his sister’s wedding but that is only one of the reasons.   This trip may finally give him the opportunity to try and repair the damage he caused by leaving but there is also the secret between them of another reason that brought him there.   Will this be their second chance or will the past and the complications in the present be too much to overcome?

This is a heartwarming story that balances family, romance and love.   The story finds a balance between humor, missteps and emotion and has us looking for the next story in this series.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🏈Pro Football Romance 

🎤Enemies to Lovers

🏈Secret Relationship

🎤Reporter vs Player 

🏈Opposites Attract

🎤Slow burn tension

She thinks he’s arrogant. He thinks she’s judgmental.

Neither one of them can stay away from each other. 

Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.

Rule number two. Oops, too late.

Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.

I’ve made it my job to ask tough questions, while he’s built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.

Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.

To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I can’t exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? It’s only a few weeks after all.

Well, the joke is on me because this isn’t as simple as I thought. 

Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, I’m breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.

Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And that’s a problem, because I’m falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.

If I’m not careful, the story I’ve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.

Title: Rumor Has It

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “If you like small-town chaos, stubborn idiots falling in love, enough tension to power an electrical grid, and a healthy sprinkle of “well… that escalated quickly,” do yourself a favor and pick this one up.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Giulia Lagomarsino is wonderful at world-building. More importantly, she creates characters who are fully three-dimensional, and then she makes you fall in love with them.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Oh boy… another emotional roller coaster from Giulia! Rumor Has It has it all—thrills, humor, a swoony small-town romance, and plenty of chaos.”

The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.

Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.

And so freaking sexy.

No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.

But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.

Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.

And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.

I’ve seen the way she looks at me.

I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.

Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.

💜Review💜

After an injury ended his boxing career Sam is trying to decide what comes next. He never expected that he would get that direction when he rescues a falling woman who is wrapped up like a Christmas tree. Their meeting left an unforgettable impression on him and now he finds himself wanting to be with her without the whole town knowing. Let the fun begin!

Cassidy is strong, independent and intends to keep it that way. She isn’t going to deny that she is attracted to Sam, but she is a businesswoman who can look after herself but then the danger begins to amp up.

The antics between Sam and Cassidy was humorous especially when it comes to the rest of the town. The connection and chemistry between them is intense, the surprises keep coming as Sam and Cassidy realize what everyone else already knows which is that they belong together.

 

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart – “Some of her best writing…Holy cow, this book! I was immediately immersed in Murky Falls! I could not put this book down. I’m excited to read the rest of the series!”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Real Good Man – “When the Grump Finds His Roots (and the Sunshine Refuses to Leave) …the kind of small-town romance that sneaks past your defenses with humor, heart, and a slow-burn love you didn’t see coming—but end up rooting for with your whole chest.”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for How Forever Feels – “Amazing! Felt like coming home again! Another fantastic book from Giulia!This story had it all, love, healing, and found family, not to mention the suspense of a 25 year old mystery to keep you guessing.”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Shut Up and Kiss Me – “Amazing as always!!! What an adventure!!! It was fun, unpredictable, and full of emotion—exactly what I was hoping for and more. All in all, an easy 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Foolish Pride – “Amazing…Quite a surprise ending. Oh my gosh. Another story that stays with you for a while. I thought we were moving right into the HEA, when it all went sideways. I need the next book NOW. Great writing from an amazing storyteller.”

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

IT’S ABOUT TIME

Harlow James

Release Date: July 10

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

Pretending to be engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.

But it is definitely necessary.

On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.

Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.

The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.

He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.

And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.

The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.

Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.

Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…

And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

🔥Review🔥
After being left at the altar Elliott has spent the last year trying to heal with the support of Dilynne, who is an unlikely source based on their adversarial relationship. What he didn’t need was his father to hire his ex at the family law firm where he worked to derail his progress. When Dilynne suggests that pretending to be engaged will help them both with her exes he agrees even though he has reservations.

Dilynne is confident in her skills as a mechanic but not when it comes to love. They are both dealing with exes that they are trying to show they have moved on from so pretending to be a couple seems like a win-win. The only problem is that the more time they spend together the more the sparks of antagonism between them turn into a very different kind of sparks.

The banter between them is entertaining and her sassy personality always brings a lightness to Elliott which he desperately needs between his family and his ex. The romance between them was always meant to be and the relationship between the friends is heartwarming as this story brings all the feels. James Cassidy brings out every emotion that Elliot is feelings while Mollie Stark brings out the fierce and feisty sides of Dilynne
