I’m a c0ntr@ct k!ll3r, a h!tman paid to take care of those unsightly jobs.
You want someone gone, a problem solved, but are too much of a pu$$y to do it yourself, then you call me.
I’m one of those hands on, kind of guys.
I don’t mind getting my hands dirty for the right price.
My rates may be high, but the quality of my work is exceptional.
I pride myself on making sure the job is done right and on time.
My reputation sometimes precedes me.
I have spent more time in Laguna Beach than I’d have liked over the past year, but I’m here to send a message.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝, a small town, enemies to lovers, neighbors romance by Evey Lyon is LIVE on most retailers! It’s going into Kindle Unlimited on October 25th! This is the first book in a brand new series, Everhope Road.
Keats is my enemy. And ending up in bed together presents an even bigger complication, considering he’s my grumpy next-door neighbor.
It started with my uptight neighbor being enemy number one. The cocky lawyer always seems to swagger my way with a disgruntled look and piercing eyes when my mail continues to get accidentally delivered to his house. Keats always makes me feisty and annoyed, too. Hence why we’re both always in a showdown where I want to rip his shirt into shreds and maybe his pants, too. Why? Because the attraction is too overbearing and lingers in the air.
And then we snap and give in.
We start the unimaginable. We unintentionally start a neighbors-with-benefits kind of thing. But I begin to see a different side of Keats, and it turns out he isn’t the kind of man I thought he was. The fact that he turns possessive or moves me right into his home due to my house complication tells me that he feels something, too. Our relationship development blindsides us, and neither one of us is sure where this will end. After all, we never planned on being everything I wanted…
Banter, steam, and low on angst, Everything I Wanted is the first in the Everhope Road series, a spin-off from the Lake Spark world. It can be read as a standalone. Readers who love small-town, enemies-to-lovers, next-door-neighbor romances with no third-act breakup will fall for Keats and Esme!
I’m known as the bad boy of baseball, and I’ve always used that to my advantage. Men want to be me. Women want to be with me. I’ve ridden that wave all the way to the top. But when my quick temper lands me in hot water with my team, I have to think fast in order to save my spot on the Daytona Fury roster. Unfortunately, the only person who can help me carry out my crazy plan is the one woman I can’t stand, but also want so badly that I can barely control myself.
MONROE
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My pretentious parents controlled my every move, and when I finally realized it was more for their interests than mine, I left home and started fresh, reinventing myself into the woman I always wanted to be. But when I unexpectedly find myself needing a source of income, the only option is to move to Daytona and pretend to date a man I loathe—the same man who, after one wild night last year, ruined me for anyone else. I’m here to do a job and move on to the next chapter of my life. I just have to figure out a way to resist him so I don’t get caught in his grip for a second time.
It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.
After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that, so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.
Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.
Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.
He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.
Brittanee is an author who lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two children. Her town is a character in itself in all of her books.
When she is not writing she enjoys spending time outdoors by the water with her children, reading at the beach or by the pool (or really anywhere), dancing with her friends, singing Karaoke, spinning, bike riding and boating.
Some of her favorite authors are Sophia Kinsella, Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, Mary Higgins Clark, Meghan Quinn, Daphne Elliott, Amy Alves, Claire Kingsley, Melanie Harlow, Christina Lauren, Sally Thorne and Sarah Adams. (Clearly, she has a problem and can’t pick favorites.)
💕Review💕 For her own safety Melina needs to physically distance herself from her ex which is how she finds herself staying with Declan, the fire chief. At first, she isn’t certain what to make of the man who says little and holds his emotions close but the same can’t be said for his best friend Cade.
Cade is known both for his position as a coach and for his social life. What most people don’t know about him is that he has feelings for Declan that go beyond friendship even if he isn’t certain that Declan will ever feel the same. Having Melina come into their lives will have them acknowledging not only their feelings for Melina but each other as well.
The characters are intriguing, and the chemistry radiates off the pages but that doesn’t diminish the emotional pull of the story or the depth of the relationship they all share.

A bad play shouldn’t cause a media meltdown but I’m Kyle Bosco and I’m a competitive jerk. So of course I couldn’t just shut up.
Now I must atone for my comments. Somehow that includes working at a daycare with seven year old Piper who thinks I’m her best friend. But Piper is not the one who has me tied up in knots. That job is reserved for Harper Wallace- her mother.
Harper is fierce, combative, and an irresistibly gorgeous single mom.
If hating me were a sport, she’d be MVP. For reasons I can’t tell you, she’s completely off limits so I obviously should stay away.
But hear me out?
I’m a competitive jerk. I’m not the guy that rides the bench. I’d rather go down swinging and foul out than not play at all.
One wild night of unbridled passion, and now I want more. Yeah, I can’t stop thinking about
Sammie Monroe. Only problem is, she won’t give me the time of day.
I don’t know why. We get along great, and hey, I’m a good-looking guy. Not to mention, I’m a professional hockey player for the Atlanta Thunder. None of that seems to matter to her, though.
But that night! How can she just dismiss something so amazing?
Really, what is her deal?
She can at least be my friend, right?

Sammie
Finn Norath is the man of my dreams. He’s hot, sexy, and a star hockey player. Oh, and the night we spent together was perfection.
Too bad it has to end there.
My heart is screaming to give him a chance. But I can’t. I don’t deserve happiness. I’ve known that for a long time now. I have a dark secret, and if Finn knew, he wouldn’t want me anyway. No one would.
But now Finn wants to be “just friends.”
Ha! This should be interesting.
Finn is the fourth novel in the bestselling Breakaway Hockey series.
*can be read as a standalone*
🏒Review🏒
Finn has been attracted to Sammie for a while, but it is only when he comes to her rescue that they give in to the chemistry between them. He hopes that it is just the beginning until she tries to distance herself from him and decides that being friends is better than nothing at all.
Sammie has never been able to forgive herself for the past, so she doesn’t believe that love is in her future. When she spends the summer with him in Alaska, she finally opens up about her past, but will it bring them closer or tear them apart?
Finn is a man anyone would be lucky to have as he knows how he feels about Sammie and is willing to be patient. I enjoyed seeing Sammie open her heart and realize that she is worthy of Finn and the life they could have together.
