“You have been summoned to testify in an upcoming criminal trial.”
Those eleven words arrived at my doorstep in a simple brown envelope, and the instructions inside were pretty simple:
Show up to court on time, swear to tell the truth on the stand, the end.
Or that’s what I thought until I made it to New York.
A thief ran off with all my luggage at baggage claim, every single Uber driver canceled my pickup requests, and someone was following my every step.
I could feel it…
The law firm immediately decided I needed to be protected at all costs. Something about “fatal consequences” if I wasn’t.
So, until this trial is over, I’m being forced to stay with the lead lawyer on the case: Caden Saint.
His last name has to be a joke from the universe, because I knew this man was the devil in disguise the moment he opened his mouth.
He insists on calling me “Miss Conflict of Interest” instead of my real name and refuses to look at me for more than twenty seconds at a time. And despite the fact that he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen, every word that drops from his mouth makes me hate him even more.
(Oh, and he definitely tried to abandon me at a homeless shelter the first time we met, but that’s a story for a different day…)
I’m exhausted by his incessant rules and suffocating boundaries, the literal “no trespassing” tape he’s hung in certain spaces, and the way he treats me like something he owns…
So, I vowed to leave him before the case is over, before he can slide any deeper under my skin.
But he catches me mid-escape, and the words “conflict of interest” take on a far more sinful meaning...

His downfall began long before the injury that took him off the ice.
One catastrophic hit during a nationally televised hockey game ends Brennan McCallister’s career. His freedom on the ice, his fame, his identity—gone in seconds. Reeling from the career-ending blow and the crushing media attention that follows, Brennan escapes to a secluded cabin he bought, desperate to find his new normal.
He never expects to find Amy Delgadina there—or realize that seeing her after all these years will shock him worse than the hit that ended everything.
She was once the queen of his heart before an explicit photo of her flooded the internet and shattered the future they planned. Brennan believed the rumors instead of believing in her. He walked away to protect his shot at the pros—and broke her in the process.
Now? He’s moved to her town.
What Brennan doesn’t know is that the photo was taken without her consent—and Amy has the proof.
Amy isn’t the same girl he left behind. This compact ball of fury is one of the youngest and most respected STEM teachers in Oklahoma—a woman who rebuilt her life after erasing her digital shadow. Running into Brennan again feels like reopening a wound she fought hard to close.
Except, the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore.
Amy’s determined to protect the life she fought for. Brennan is determined to uncover the truth he walked away from all those years ago. Yet, every time they clash—emotionally or physically—the pull between them is harder to deny.
But when the source of the photo steps back into their lives, will Brennan choke under pressure or will he win the only game that matters—love?

Adrienne Fleming portrays both the strength and emotions while Peter Aiden allows us to the feel the growth of Brennan as he worked to make peace with the past.
New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property in a small beach town. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.
No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.
Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he’s also certain he’ll outlast his competitor.

Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.
It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you’ve ever wanted anything.

Audiobook Narrated by: Sean Masters & Brooke Bloomingdale
🏘️Review🏘️ Jade works for her father’s property development company and believes that she will be inheriting a property from another resident in town passes away. The surprise is on her as not only isn’t she the only beneficiary but to inherit she must live in the house for four months and if she leaves the other beneficiary will inherit everything so now she just needs to find a way to get him to leave.
Damon is the other beneficiary, and his background couldn’t be more different from Jade’s. He too is surprised that he isn’t the only beneficiary and he already has an opinion of her because of who her father is. He believes he can find a way to make her leave but the more time he spends with her the more unsure he is that he wants that to happen.
The situations that Jade and Damon find themselves in are humorous and the interactions between them are entertaining. They each consider the other the enemy however the forced proximity, the steam and seeing them get to know each other beyond what they see turns these rivals into romance.
He is the team’s golden boy who has a broken foot and whose contract expires this year. She is the trainer whose job it is to say no to him, and for the following six months both of them will be unable to leave.
Quinn Abbott has rules. Rule one: the athlete’s health outranks the athlete’s opinion. Rule two: never get attached to a patient. Rule three, written specifically for the San Antonio Outlaws’ star running back: do not, under any circumstances, fall for the smile.
Grant Hale has never met a door that stayed closed to him. Then a broken foot puts his season, his contract, and his entire identity on an exam table, and the trainer running his rehab turns out to be the one person in Texas immune to his charm. She has a clipboard, a timeline, and zero interest in his comeback-of-the-year plans. He has a comeback clock, a stubborn streak, and a growing problem: the best part of his ruined season is the hour a day she spends telling him no.
Every morning, the same training room. Every session, her hands on the injury that could end him. Team flights, hotel treatment tables, a rehab schedule written into his contract and hers. They can’t avoid each other, and it’s starting to show. Falling for your trainer is against the rules. Falling for your patient can end a career. And somewhere between the countdown on the whiteboard and the question he shouldn’t ask, two people who’ve spent their lives carrying everything alone have to learn what it costs to let someone in.
Neither of them stands a chance, and the whole season is watching.
Tropes & tone:
• Slow burn — the wait is the point
• Athlete × athletic trainer, forced proximity (three sessions a week, no escape)
• Forbidden — he’s her patient, and one signature could end her career
• Golden retriever hero who falls first and earns it
• Found family — the Outlaws locker room, opinions included
• Open door · guaranteed HEA · standalone
Book Two of the San Antonio Outlaws series. Each book follows a different couple
Forsaking All Others by Giana Darlingis now available for pre-order on audio!
Narrated by:Sean Masters & Rose Dioro
Releasing November 10, 2026
In this scorching dark romance from bestselling author Giana Darling, a mafia princess transforms herself into the ultimate mob wife in order to survive her new world—and the man who rules it.
Fiametta
As daughter of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra’s capo, I’m sheltered, protected, and expected to do as I’m told. So, I lock away my heart and walk down the aisle to a man I don’t love. But that day costs me everything. And my new husband is harder and fiercer than any man I’ve ever known.
Dario Ferretti may not want me. But if I can’t find my place as his wife, I’ll make my mark on his kingdom instead.
Dario
I rule the Ferretti Corporation’s Chicago outfit with strength and fear, but my father still forces my hand to secure an alliance with our greatest rival. I’ll do what it takes to maintain my position, even if it means marrying a woman too young, too innocent, and far too enticing.
Fiametta Cavallaro is more than I expected. But I’m not who she thinks I am. I’m so much more, so much worse—and it’s all to keep her safe.
I used to have a Nate Becker poster on my wall. Now I have to save his career.
Ever since Nate Becker showed up as the Brooklyn Bats’ shortstop with the million-dollar smile, he’s been the object of every girl’s affection. Myself included.
While others got to watch him from afar, I had an up-close-and-personal view of my lifelong crush, thanks to the benefits of being related to the team manager. We even became friends, although the butterflies in my stomach whenever he was close never went away.
But things are different now. I’m no longer that swooning teenager. I’m a sports reporter determined to make it on my own. And not because of who my family is.
Until a viral photo threatens Nate’s legendary career, turning the golden boy of Brooklyn into public enemy number one. Now he needs positive PR in the worst way, and I’m the one the Bats call on to make that happen.
My job was simple: Fix the narrative. Don’t fall in love.
Easier said than done.
I wasn’t prepared to learn about the humble man behind the cocky grin, or see all the good he did when no one was looking. And I definitely wasn’t prepared to meet the real Nate Becker…and discover the heart of gold that beats inside that broad chest.
The man now looking at me the way I always dreamed of.
Suddenly, professional distance turns into stolen moments. A simple touch turns into a caress. And our scorching kisses are undeniably life changing.

I built my football career by keeping everyone at a distance. Then I met my sister’s best friend.
For years, winning was the only thing that mattered.
I was the perfect star quarterback. Focused. Controlled. A team player. I smiled for the cameras, kept my head down, and made damn sure the people I loved stayed safely out of reach.
Until my best friend’s bachelor party forced me back into the life I’d left behind.
And there she was. Lily Callahan.
My sister’s best friend. A single mother with a heart too big for her own good. And someone I had absolutely no business wanting.
It started with one conversation while my defenses were down and turned into hours together that replayed in my mind.
Then came the wedding. Christmas. New Year’s. And suddenly, I was finding every excuse to return to the city I’d spent years avoiding.
Except it wasn’t the city pulling me back.
It was Lily.
She makes me want things I gave up on a long time ago. A home. A family. A future beyond football. Even her daughter has become someone I would protect with my life.
But wanting Lily means letting her past my walls. And I know what happens when I let people get too close.
I’m already the reason someone I love got hurt. I won’t risk becoming the mistake that costs Lily and her daughter everything.
But what happens when the woman I’m determined to protect is the one person who makes me want to stop running?
It’s not easy to live knowing that your best days are behind you. It’s not easy feeling like you have nothing to live for, even with an amazing, lucrative career and a loving family. It’s damn near impossible to keep breathing when the love of your life chooses your best friend and teammate over you. I barely survived by burying that part of myself, leaving my heartbreak firmly in the past. But when a pre-season trade re-opens old wounds, I’m forced to reconsider everything, because if she’s not happy with him…it might be my chance to ensure that this time, she chooses correctly. And this time she won’t have a choice.
Blake
The life of a hockey wife isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When I imploded the best thing that had ever happened to me, I hoped it wouldn’t be for nothing. I hoped there’d be a way to salvage some sort of happiness lying in the bed I’d made. I was worse than wrong, and I’ve paid for it in a million little ways over the last ten years. Now, thrust back into the life of the person I hurt the most, the reality is worse than I expected. It’s not just that I have to see him, looking better than ever, and remember the love that I thought I had imagined. It’s that everything from the past feels like it’s just below the surface, waiting to explode. Every stolen glance, every barely there touch…it’s kindling on a pyre that will destroy everything.
I spent years of my childhood dreaming of the day I’d call Atlas Grant my own.
He was my older brother’s best friend, my protector, my friend, and the guy I had loved for as long as I could remember.
I bided my time, waiting until I was old enough to make my move.
But the moment I finally worked up the courage to tell him how I felt, he shattered my heart without a second thought.
Since then, I’ve done everything I could to avoid him.
Too bad that’s no longer an option… Because now I’m on a plane to Las Vegas for a combined bachelor and bachelorette weekend. Which means spending the next few days with Atlas is unavoidable.
If I can’t escape him, I’ll settle for making the football superstar regret ever rejecting me.
But you know what they say about Vegas…
What happens there stays there.
Well, unfortunately for us, some things can’t be buried under those neon lights.
