BLURB:

Where love melts the ice and dreams come to fruition. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.

 Brooklynn Greene has it allโ€”a successful salon, a close-knit group of girlfriends, and a life she loves. But thereโ€™s one thing she canโ€™t seem to get out of her mindโ€“her irresistibly charming neighbor.

She canโ€™t have him.
Heโ€™s a dream.
 No, heโ€™s the dream.

Her neighbor is off-limits. At least, thatโ€™s the way that she sees it, and sheโ€™s tried to keep him at arm’s length. But he needs her help. And it wouldnโ€™t be neighborly to deny him.

Even if it means playing his fake girlfriend.

Forrest Westwood doesnโ€™t worry. He lives his life the way that he wants, knowing that money is no object. The day he turns twenty-five, his trust fund is his. Life is going to be a comfortable one once his checks start coming in.

He plays by his own rules.
 Sheโ€™s everywhere.
 Across the street, in the stands, and his dreams.

Life has a way of becoming complicated. The confident and independent woman is right in front of him. But can a fake relationship between them stay that way, or will the lines between pretend and reality blur as they play the most dangerous game of allโ€”falling in love?

She needs a husband. He wonโ€™t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brotherโ€™s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?

No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic familyโ€™s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice thatโ€™s more like blackmailโ€”marry him, or heโ€™ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.

The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it’s starting to feel.

Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I’m planning, he’ll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everythingโ€”his best friend or his fake wife?

WON’T BACK DOWN

Harper Jackson

Release Date: September 6

ย 

I drowned when I was sixteen.

ย 

My brother’s best friend brought me back, but nothing was the same. I can’t remember what happened. My parents dragged me away from my island home in the name of keeping me safe, and thrust me into hell instead.

ย 

I came back to Hatterwick to rebuild my life and–hopefully–my memory.

ย 

Now a new inheritance threatens to expose those long buried secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to ensure I never remember what really happened that fateful night.

ย 

The only thing standing between me and whoever wants to hurt me is a marriage of protection with the boy who saved me–now a man grown and determined to keep me safe at all costs.

ย 

But what began as protection turns into more. Because he’s the key to unlocking what hides in the shadows of my mind, which will either save or damn us both.

๐Ÿ’›Review๐Ÿ’›

Ridge is a wealthy businessman and single father to his daughter Daisy.   When he sees Addison dancing at a club he is smitten and his investment in a private dance might just be the best investment he ever made.   He wants to see her again however now he has no way to contact her, but fate has other plans when he learns their lives are connected in a way he never expected.

Dancing at the club is a means to an end and not the life that Addie wants.   She may be attracted to Ridge, and the night they spent together unforgettable, but she never planned to see her again.    When their paths cross in a most unexpected way, she is about to learn how determined Ridge could be.

Ridge is everything you could want in a man and so much more as he gives Addie exactly what she needs without taking over.   Both he and Addie love fiercely when it comes to each other, his daughter Daisy and everyone else in their lives.

Heโ€™s Major League Baseballโ€™s former power hitter, and now heโ€™s making a play for her heart.

Maggie doesnโ€™t know why sheโ€™s in the small mountain town of Starrycard Creek. After a blow to the head leaves her with amnesia, all she has left is her name stitched onto an apron.

And then thereโ€™s him…the man who saved her life.

Christian Starrycard was trying to drown his sorrows after an injury ended his baseball career. The last thing he expected to become was a womanโ€™s hero. But Maggie isnโ€™t just any woman. Sheโ€™s the woman heโ€™s been dreaming ofโ€”his dream girl he thought existed only in his mind.

His dreams become their steamy reality when he insists she live with him until her memories return. When their attraction deepens into an undeniable love, they canโ€™t imagine life apart. But when fragments of her past resurface, so does the fear that her heart might belong to someone else.

Christian canโ€™t bear the thought. 

Town folklore says that love is always in the cards in Starrycard Creek. And Christian wonโ€™t let Maggie go. Not without a fight.

Kira

Raising my daughter as a single mom wasnโ€™t the life I dreamed of, and neither was being homeless. But thanks to my abusive ex and a broken system, thatโ€™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 canโ€™t ignore how safe I feel in his arms, and thatโ€™s what scares me the most.

Ryder

Money can buy a lot of things, but it canโ€™t buy love. A valuable lesson I learned the hard wayโ€”first with my parents and then when my ex chose to take a payoff and walk away.

One day, Iโ€™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 Iโ€™d find. Sheโ€™s not only sweet and selfless, but sheโ€™s also a damn good mom to her daughter โ€ฆ and mine.

The longer sheโ€™s in our lives, the harder itโ€™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 canโ€™t. Iโ€™m already hooked on her.

In The Details ๐Ÿ Now Live

In The Details by Julia Wolf is now live!

Two strangers at a beat down biker bar. A hot night twisted up in the sheets. Absolutely no strings attached.

My life is too complicated for more than that. Besides, what would I do with a possessive, demanding, sexy as hell motorcycle man? Especially one who’s younger than me.


As an executive with a demanding career and single mom to a three-year-old little girl, my life is planned down to the minute, but everyone knows what they say about the best laid plans…

When Jake Hayes walks into Rossi Motors looking for a partnership between our two companies, I’m lost for words. It turns out, my motorcycle man looks just as good wearing a finely tailored suit as he does straddling a bike in his leathers.

Now that he’s found me, he wants more hot, steamy nights with me. He’s persistent and I’m…tempted.

I try to keep him at arm’s length, but he slowly draws me in with his searing kisses and lighthearted teasing. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sweet and gentle with my little girl either. But then, he has plenty of experience with kids since he has a daughter of his own.

Jake wants me and all the baggage I come with. I want him too, but my heart’s been too battered to give it away easily.

If I don’t choose, Jake just might take matters into his own hands and steal it anyway.

๐ŸReview๐Ÿ

Between the demands of her career and being a single mother to her daughter it doesnโ€™t leave her the time or energy for much else. The one time she decides to take a night for herself she didnโ€™t expect that her interactions with this man wouldnโ€™t end there and that a partnership would be proposed between their two companies.

Jake Hayes is a successful businessman and a single father to his daughter as well. The night he spent with Clara was unforgettable and finding out that she is the woman that he wants to form a business alliance is both a surprise and a complication he didnโ€™t see coming.

Despite the heat between them both Clara and Jake are determined to not only protect their hearts but their daughters as well. Jake is always there for everyone he loves, and Clara and her daughter are no exception as he shows her that not only can she trust him but herself as well.

Sweet Southern Heat ๐Ÿง Now Live

Title: Sweet Southern Heat
Series: Magnolia Grove Series
Author: Ashley Cade
Genre/Tropes: Small Town Romance; Ex’s Older Brother; Enemies-to-Lovers; Grumpy/Sunshineย 
Release Date: September 12, 2024
Kissing your enemy is never a good idea, especially when heโ€™s your exโ€™s surly older brother. But in my defense, he kissed me first.
Landon Crawford has always blamed me for the accident that stole his brotherโ€™s future, but he doesnโ€™t know what really happened that night. Iโ€™ve hidden the ugly truth from everyone for six long years, but in a small town like ours, secrets donโ€™t stay buried forever.
When I unexpectedly inherit my grandmotherโ€™s bakery, I find myself back in Magnolia Grove and Landonโ€™s orbit. I try to avoid the grumpy mechanic, but fate is hellbent on throwing us together, and the more time I spend with him, the more the line between love and hate starts to blur.
The moment we give into our feelings, tragedy strikes again, leaving Landon with an impossible choice: fully give his heart to me or cling to whatโ€™s left of his crumbling family.
*Sweet Southern Heat is a complete standalone set in the Magnolia Grove Series. It’s a small town, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance with plenty of steam, lots of tension, and a guaranteed HEA.
ย 
ย 
ย 
I couldnโ€™t keep my eyes off Olivia. And I hated myself for it. Even with Honey Beaumontโ€”who was arguably one of the most beautiful women in Magnolia Groveโ€”sitting next to her, I couldnโ€™t make myself look away from the woman I swore to loathe until I took my last breath. She was the flame, and I was the moth, destined to be burned by her if I couldnโ€™t resist the pull.Even worse, Iโ€™d been caught. Stopping just long enough to wipe the perspiration from my face from working in the unforgiving sun, I snuck another peek at her in that scrap of temptation she called a bathing suit. It was too much, too hard to resist. Her long legs were on full display, and her tits were barely covered by two triangles that did little to hide her bodyโ€™s reaction to catching me watching her. Her chest heaved with each breath she took, and her mouth parted in a little โ€œOโ€ of surprise. And all I could think about was filling that circle with my cock.

I gritted my teeth and looked away. It didnโ€™t matter how badly my body wanted hers or how satisfying it would be to fuck that pretty little lying mouth. Olivia Duprey would always be off limits. She was my brotherโ€™s ex and the woman who shattered all his hopes and dreams the night she stole the bright future that was just within reach.

Shaking away those thoughts, I continued with my work, losing myself in the sound of my drill and scent of fresh lumber. When the sound of the back patio door sliding open registered in my ears, I stood and turned to find Olivia coming through it. Strange, I hadn’t heard her go inside nor had I noticed her absence. She must not have been gone long considering how often my eyes drifted to her as she lounged poolside with her friend.

She gently closed the door behind her and turned to find me watching her every move. A shy smile curved her lips, and she held out her hand. In it was a tall glass filled to the brim with fat ice cubes and yellow liquid that could only be lemonade. Condensation beaded on the outside of the glass, and my mouth watered. I was parched from working in the sun and had long since drained the bottle of water I’d brought with me.

โ€œI thought you might need a drink,โ€ Olivia said hesitantly.

I closed the distance between us in two long strides and reached for the glass. My fingers curled around the cool glass, brushing against her skin ever so slightly. The brief contact shot an electric pulse up my arm. She mustโ€™ve felt it too because she quickly jerked away and clasped her hands together.

โ€œThank you,โ€ I said with an appreciative nod.

โ€œYouโ€™re welcome,โ€ she muttered quickly and tried to back away, but her foot caught on a small pile of wood I’d stacked next to the rail. I thought it was far enough out of the way, but in her attempt to give me a wide berth, she tripped over it. Her body pitched backward, and she let out a yelp as she careened toward the deck. Instinctively, I shot out my free hand and caught her around the waist, my arm wrapping around her middle. I tugged her toward me, holding her tightly so she wouldnโ€™t fall and crack her head open. Her body pressed against mine, her back arched as her arms flailed, searching for purchase. Wide, frightened eyes peered into mine as she finally realized she was no longer falling. Her palms flattened against my chest as she regained her balance.

Her touch sent a shockwave of awareness through my entire body, and I nearly released her. The sensation was jarring, though not unpleasant. I wanted more of it. My cock stirred to life behind my zipper as my gaze dropped to her full parted lips, then lower to where her breasts were pressed against my chest. Could she feel the pulse thundering against my ribs as I held her, her entire body plastered to mine?

It mustโ€™ve been the adrenaline rush from having to save her from certain demise. She couldโ€™ve been seriously injured had she fallen, especially with the steps so close behind her. And it wouldโ€™ve been my fault.

I swallowed hard, hating the idea of her getting hurt because of my negligence. Dean would certainly get sued and then fire me. My stomach knotted at the prospect. I told myself it was only because I couldnโ€™t afford to lose my side gig and not because I cared what happened to Olivia.

Clearing my throat, I loosened my hold on her.

โ€œAre you okay? Can you stand?โ€ I asked, more than ready to be rid of her. But if I released her too soon, before she regained her balance, she could still fall.

โ€œI-I think so,โ€ she replied shakily. I slowly uncurled the arm wrapped around her middle, my fingers grazing the silken skin of her back as I attempted to steady her while she found her footing again. Every inch of my skin that connected with hers sparked with something I refused to acknowledge.

โ€œThank you for catching me. That couldโ€™ve been bad.โ€

I nodded my reply, afraid if I opened my mouth, Iโ€™d say something stupid like, โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re okay,โ€ or โ€œmy boss would fire my ass if you got hurt because of me.โ€ Both were true but were better left unsaid.

โ€œI guess I should stay out of your way until youโ€™re done,โ€ she offered with an embarrassed chuckle.

โ€œThatโ€™s probably for the best.โ€
