Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.
That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.
It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.
Chad
The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.
Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.
Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.
Now that Faith has finished school, she is looking to transition into the next stage of her life however it is taking longer than she expected. When her brother’s best friend Chad invites her to visit him in California, she decides it is better than sitting at home waiting for a job to materialize. As they spend time together the friendship develops into something much deeper and now they must decide where to go from here.
Chad feelings for Faith run much deeper than friendship however he believes she deserves more than he can give her. Spending time together only strengthen those feelings, but will it be strong enough to overcome the physical distance between them when he is sent overseas?
The emotional connection that Faith and Chad share is heartfelt and even if they cannot always be together, they find other ways to show each other how special they are and the depth of their love and the romance between them is enchanting.

Cover Designer: IndieSage LLC
Illustrated Cover Designer: Ink And Laurel
Every story needs a villain.
The arrogance. The conceit. The lone wolf.
Oliver Rossi is that person on the track.
And leave it to me . . . I’ve gone and fallen for him.
Rossi is his own worst enemy. He doesn’t care what people think or what’s expected of him. And he’s reached the pinnacle of his sport because of his bad boy ways.
He’s unpredictable and reckless on the track. He’s even worse off of it. After years of circling around each other, all it took was one night, one uncharacteristic act of chivalry, to know I wanted more with the man everyone hates.
Forget the warnings from my brother about his new teammate and the fallout from my family—he’s worth the risk.
With his job on the line and eyes always on us, secret trysts are all we allow ourselves.
It’s all fun and games until lust turns to love and for now begins to feel like not enough.
I want it all.
I want forever.
And I want it with Oliver Rossi.
But is Rossi willing to show the world he’s ready to move past his villain era so we can have our own happily ever after or will this whole thing spin out of control?

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.
The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.
Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.
Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.
Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?
Elora is a mission to fulfill her mother’s last wish with the hope that it will give her the closing and healing that she needs. When she meets Roman, she finds a kindred soul as they are there for each other through one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Roman is struggling as he deals with a devastating loss of his own. He has distanced himself from everyone but the same can’t be said for Elora. She breaks through his walls and helps him feel something beyond pain, but now that he has found her he fears that it will all be taken away.
Elora and Roman take us on a heartbreaking and inspiring story. Even though they are going through a tumultuous time they come into each other’s life when they need someone the most and find peace, romance and most of all love.
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 🏈Football Romance 🏈Vegas/Drunk Marriage 🏈Reverse Grumpy Sunshine 🏈One Bed 🏈Mistaken Identity 🏈Golden Retriever Hero 🏈Team owner’s niece 🏈Secret Relationship
What started out as a night of fun at a Vegas hotspot somehow turned into saying “I Do” by an Elvis impersonator.
If you think that’s bad, it gets worse. My new husband lied to me and told me he ran a not-for-profit. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Imagine my surprise when I realized I married one of the best tight ends in the league.
Did I mention my uncle owns the team?
If you think things couldn’t get any more complicated, our plans to get an annulment are unexpectedly put on hold. So, now I’m trapped in this unforeseen marriage until we can find a way out. He assured me not to worry, proposing a temporary solution—move in with him and keep our relationship a secret.
Except, the more I get to know my husband, the more I want to stay married, especially when he calls me—”his wife”.
But life doesn’t always go as planned, especially when my uncle intercepts our news before we have a chance to tell him.
Now his spot on the team is at risk, my heart is on the line, and the fallout could cost us everything.
Enrico Marchetti. One of the five Italian mafia kings. Powerful. Untouchable. Corrupt.
It started with one innocent look across a room in Paris. He was a lot older than me. A Roman god dressed in an Italian suit, surrounded by an aura I couldn’t resist.
When I ran into him again, he effortlessly pulled me under his spell. But little did I know, a night full of carnal pleasure would cost me everything.
When Enrico Marchetti wanted something, he didn’t just take it. He possessed it. Now, his sights were set on me.
There were secrets this man was keeping. They surrounded him, his dead wife, his children.
I wanted no part of it, but there was no escaping him. He had taken me to his kingdom, locked the doors, and thrown away the key.
Now the only thing left to do was fight. Even if it killed me.
I learn that the hard way after hockey star Carter Masters stabs me in the back and turns our rival school against me.
Suddenly, I’m Public Enemy Number One at Framingham State.
Just a year later, that’s exactly where I’m forced to enroll.
No one has forgotten what I did.
The anti-Sydney campaign is led by two gorgeous, psycho hockey players. Oliver Ruiz, captain. And Penn Walker, the devastating goalie.
They have me in their sights the moment I step foot on their campus. Where they lead, the rest of the students follow. They won’t stop until I’m gone and Carter’s team faces payback.
My only solace from the constant bullying comes from a blocked number that keeps texting me.
But as much as Oliver and Penn want to, they can’t drive me off completely. Because even at the worst moments, I know I’m not going anywhere.
After all, I’m their coach’s daughter.
🏒Review🏒
Sydney’s downfall all began with her plan to retrieve something she had a deep connection to which led her to Oliver’s home. Her plan is interrupted but not before she takes pictures of the team’s hockey playbook and decides to forward them to Caleb, her ex-boyfriend who plays for a rival school. In the aftermath she finds herself transferring to the school that she stole the pictures from where her father also happens to coach.
Oliver and Penn view Sydney as a traitor and want retribution in whatever way they feel is necessary while Carter wants to fix what is broken. They will each test her strength and push her boundaries, but they are about to find out that Sydney is a force to be reckoned with and nothing will go according to plan.
Each of the men bring something unique to the relationship and Sydney is there for it all. A few surprises and some suspense as revenge turns to romance.
About the Author:
S. Massery is a dark romance author who loves injecting a good dose of suspense into her stories. She lives in Western Massachusetts with her dog, Alice.
Before adventuring into the world of writing, she went to college in Boston and held a wide variety of jobs–including working on a dude ranch in Wyoming (a personal highlight). She has a love affair with coffee and chocolate. When S. Massery isn’t writing, she can be found devouring books, playing outside with her dog, or trying to make people smile.
The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn’t falling for my best friend’s little sister when I knew she was off-limits…it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn’t been a single achievement I’ve celebrated that wasn’t tainted by her absence. But now, it’s time. I’m going to get my girl back…no matter what it takes.
GRACE
Five years ago, I spent a whole summer learning, exploring, and falling in love with my lifelong protector. His future was bright, and as he broke me into a million pieces, he made sure I knew there wasn’t a place for me next to him under the bright, stadium lights. That girl who waited and hoped for him to come back is gone now, but just when I think I’ve moved on and created a life of my own, a ghost from my past reappears, determined to make things right. Tanner Lake may have once been everything to me, but those days are long over, aren’t they?
C.L. Rose is a wife and mother of two. She lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband, son, daughter, and dog, Tank. When she isn’t writing, you can find her reading in front of a space heater, wrapped in a thick blanket, probably complaining that she’s cold.
🏈Review🏈 The biggest regret that Tanner has is ending his relationship with Grace after spending one unforgettable summer together until his departure left them both devastated. Professionally is life turned out the way he expected but personally he has never been able to move forward. It will be five years before he sees her again and it only reinforces his feelings for her are stronger than ever however he is in for quite the challenge as he tries to convince her to give him a second chance.
Grace has tried to forget about what she shared with Tanner however that is easier said than done even if she is engaged to another man. Seeing him again brings up all the pain that she has tried to bury especially when he wants a second chance, and she isn’t about to forgive and forget.
Tanner is swoony as he acknowledges that leaving Grace is the biggest mistake of his life and he will do whatever is necessary to find his way back to her. Grace’s need to protect herself is understandable but despite everything she has been through she is feisty, fierce and willing to go after what she wants even with the emotional rollercoaster, she finds herself facing.
He’s commitment phobic. She believes in happy endings. The twist of fate that binds them is a surprise they never saw coming in a bittersweet romance about instant family—and not-so-instant love.
A decade-old animosity is the only thing Liam Davies and Zoe Valentine have in common. Until their mutual best friends pass away and they’re appointed co-guardians of the trusting couple’s precocious toddler, Mira.
Liam is committed only to professional football. Relationship-wise, he’s even better at defense. Still wrestling with a tough childhood, he’s not cut out to be a father. Why his late best buddy believed in him, Liam has no idea.
An optimistic romantic, Zoe has always dreamed of a fairy-tale life. But even though Liam’s biceps make her dizzy and she can’t stop thinking about his lips on hers, he’s not exactly Prince Charming. With or without that brooding Brit, she is determined to make good on her friends’ last wish.
Forced into a predicament they never expected, Zoe and Liam are discovering things about each other that could scorch through boundaries, warm hearts, and change minds. And best of all, with their shared love for a pint-size surprise like Mira, they might just turn a house into a home.
I captured a thief…does that mean I get to keep him?
Lainey My mother’s dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to one…and he was a no-good, cheating so-and-so.

I cozy up to her ex to steal it back.

Lainey agrees to help me find out who took it. Our motivations don’t match up, but I’m not about to complain. Because suddenly the necklace isn’t the only thing I want; I want to make her mine.
No one could have seen this coming, but it’s now on the Iron Fiends’ doorstep, and Fade knows that this is just the beginning.
