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.

Kira
Raising my daughter as a single mom wasn’t the life I dreamed of, and neither was being homeless. But thanks to my abusive ex and a broken system, that’s our reality.
Until Ryder Du Ponte finds us sleeping in our SUV in the company parking garage and brings us home with him.
The handsome single dad convinces me to work for him as a live-in nanny. And against my better judgment, I accept.
With each passing day, Ryder becomes more than my boss. My heart is invested, but falling for him means risking everything.
The problem is, I can’t ignore how safe I feel in his arms, and that’s what scares me the most.
Ryder
Money can buy a lot of things, but it can’t buy love. A valuable lesson I learned the hard way—first with my parents and then when my ex chose to take a payoff and walk away.
One day, I’m a single dad, doing my thing, and the next, I have a beautiful nanny and her adorable daughter living under my roof.
Kira Adams is everything I never thought I’d find. She’s not only sweet and selfless, but she’s also a damn good mom to her daughter … and mine.
The longer she’s in our lives, the harder it’ll be to let her go. What started out as friendship has grown into something neither of us expected.
I know I should cut her loose before this thing goes any further, but I can’t. I’m already hooked on her.
Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.
Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.
The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER. She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.
Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.
Get married or move out. Those are my options, thanks to the trust my grandma left and my aunt is determined to enforce.
From Marie Johnston comes a single-mom, marriage-of-convenience romance.
If I don’t get married, I’ll have to find somewhere to live that I can afford with two kids and a lot of debt—and do it without losing my brand-new job. When my aunt confronts me on the move-out deadline, I try to buy time. I blurt out a name. I tell her I’m engaged to Eliot Knight.
Eliot’s my boss’s brother and he’s been around the vet clinic where I work. He’s hot. He’s charming. He’s who I’d pick if I had to marry someone at a moment’s notice. But he wasn’t supposed to hear me. He wasn’t supposed to get dragged into my mess. And he wasn’t supposed to agree to help me. Now, we’re Mr. and Mrs. Knight.
We only need to be married for a year, and he runs his family’s ranch in another town. Three hours away. Yet circumstances keep throwing us together, and I get a lot of time with my new husband. I fall hard the first time I hear him say, “My wife.”
But our lives are still separate. At the end of the year, I’m afraid I’ll get to keep my house, but I’ll lose my heart and be left with nothing but endless memories.
💚Review💚 After her divorce all Lily wants is a fresh start for her and her children.

When she is being pressured to present her fiancé the only man she can think of is Eliot.
Eliot is a good man who is always there for anyone who needs him and that includes his family. When he learns of Lily’s situation, he isn’t about to not be there for her and her children however he is torn between the demands of the family ranch and the feelings he is developing for the family he didn’t know he wanted especially with the physical distance between them.
The marriage between Lily and Eliot began as an arrangement but they were destined to be so much more. Despite the challenges they were facing as individuals they feelings between them are undeniable and if anyone deserves happiness it is this couple.
From USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa Toppen comes a brand-new, standalone, love triangle romance that explores the complexities of first love and what it means to truly follow your heart.
Time is a funny thing. It keeps moving even when it feels like everything around you stops. It is the catalyst for everything. How we grieve. How we heal. How we live. Time was the one thing I tried but could never escape.
Days passed in his absence. Months. Years. And I stood still. Stuck in the past. Paralyzed by the memory of him.
Nash Ketter had been my whole world for as long as I could remember. The person I loved with my entire being. He was the sun, the moon, and the stars. He was everything. And then one day, he was gone… Just like that. Like he had never existed at all. But I knew he had because I still carried fragments of him with me every single day—a reminder of what we had, and what he left behind.
I was so sure I would never find love again after that, that no one could fill the gaping hole Nash had left behind, but Felix Jensen changed all that. He was the last person I expected to fall for, but as it turned out, he was exactly what I needed.
He became the soothing balm to my gaping wounds. He became my friend, my confidant, and then eventually he became something more. Where Nash shattered me into a million tiny shards, Felix spent two years piecing me back together. Even though I was never truly whole after that, he never seemed to care. He loved me, and somehow that was enough.
Or at least I thought it was, until Nash stormed back into town after four years like a tornado, overturning all the carefully placed pieces of the life I had built without him. I hated him for what he did. I hated that he came back. But more than anything, I hated how much I didn’t actually hate him at all.
In the game of love and war, there are rarely ever winners. And when secrets are exposed and true intentions are revealed, I realize I stand to lose a lot more than I ever could have imagined possible.
Paisley fell in love with Nash when she was only a child and she believed that any future plans they would have would always include the other until he leaves town, and she is left devastated and trying to find a path forward. It has taken years but with the help of Felix she is preparing to leave Nathan in her past until he comes back looking for a second chance.
She now finds herself torn between her first love who left her with so many questions and her new love who was there for her when Nash was not. As the story unfolds, we realize that there is a lot to be revealed both when it comes to the past, but everyone involved as well.
Paisley takes us on an angst filled journey as secrets are revealed which will shake her world and questioning which man is she destined to be with and who will truly make her happy.

Meet S. Cole:
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.

Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say.
However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money.
I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life.
Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters. He loves his siblings. He works hard. He owns an honest business. Honest, the emphasis here. He also suffers from damsel-in-distress syndrome with a savior complex for lost causes, like stray animals and down-and-out women.
And I have a secret crush on him.
When I see Clay stranded on the side of the road one dark, stormy night, I stop to offer assistance. Burning with fever, Clay is sick, and my mom-instincts kick in to give him comfort. That decision throws me off course again. While my past lurks everywhere, I find myself falling in love with Sterling Falls once more and falling harder for the man giving my son and me a safe haven.
Love is a risk, according to Clay, but he’s slowly rescuing my heart while I’m saving his.
DON’T YOU JUST ADORE A GENEROUS HERO? When my eyes landed on baskets of perfectly ripe strawberries, I wished I’d at least brought some money with me. I picked the berries up, sniffed them, touched their firm skin, and then set them down with a sigh, moving past them as I followed Lincoln. – “You make it really hard not to touch you,” he said. – “I’m not doing anything,” I huffed out. – “You practically made l0ve to the strawberries.” – I beamed up at him. “They’re perfect. It’s hard to find perfect strawberries this early in the season, especially at a regular market.” – “And yet you left them behind.” – “I don’t have my purse.” – He stopped, stared at me, and then turned the cart around, going back to pick up the basket I’d held along with three more. – “What are you doing?” I asked. – “Willow, the one thing I have more than enough is money. Get whatever you want.” – “We’re supposed to be shopping for you,” I said. – “We’re here together. If you see something you need or want, I EXPECT you to put it in the cart.” – It was a grouchy command that somehow wound its way through my heart more than a soft request would have. – 🔥 𝙇𝙊𝙎𝙏 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙊𝙉𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 💘 Standalone 🔥Generous protector ❤️🩹 Tortured Artist 😠🌞Grumpy/Sunshine 🏡Small town 🚨Celebrity in hiding COMING SEPT 25th – 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥’𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧0𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦. – PRE-ORDER TODAY: https://geni.us/LITMLJE – #romanticsuspense #generoushero #growlyprotector #contemporaryromance #celebrityromance #smalltownromance #grumpysunshine #romanticsuspensenovel #romancebooks #romancebook #romancenovel #kindleunlimited #kindleunlimitedromance #familysaga #booksinspiredbysongs #ljevans #ljevansbooks #ljevansauthor #bookish #booklover #romancebookstagram #bookstagram
