THE HOPE WE DARE

S. Cole

Release Date: March 19

Meet S. Cole:

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.

From USA Today best selling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying MMF, grumpy x sunshine x lightning, motorcycle club romance.

Isla

I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman I’d become.

Inheriting my Nanna’s rundown house is the fresh start I need.

A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take.

So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street…and offering me more than just help with renovations.

Shade

I’ve never thought I was worth loving.

I’m grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage.

Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy.

Men like me don’t get one great love, let alone two.

But I’m looking at Isla differently now…and wondering if there’s a way to love her without destroying what we’ve built.

Jackal

I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back.

He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice.

But now he’s looking at Isla the same way I am.

And I can’t stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other.

Until violence hits, and we don’t know which of us is the target.

We’ve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for.

And we’ll burn the world down to protect it.

🏍️Review🏍️

Isla believed that being a club girl for the MC would give her the happiness she wanted only to realize that she had lost herself in the process.   She has decided that the only way to make the changes she needs is to distance herself from the MC.    That plan doesn’t work as she expected when she finds out that her new neighbors are part of the MC as well.

Jackal and Slade are both enforcers for the MC and a couple even if the other members in the club don’t know it.   They are committed to each other however once they see past Isla’s reputation to the woman she is they want her as well and when the danger escalates they will do anything to protect her and the love they share.

Jackal, Slade and Isla take us on action filled adventure that includes romance, suspense and surprises.   The evolution of the characters as they helped each other heal from the past added another layer to this entertaining story.

BLURB

They say the truth will set you free.

Mine didn’t. It gutted me.

One day, I’m the Bishop family disappointment.

Next, I’m heir to the enemy’s dynasty.

Confused and angry I’m thrust into a new life, where I’m expected to become the monster my father spent years crafting.

But I don’t even know who I am, or who I want to be, and if I have to hurt, then everyone around me will too.

There’s one person who refuses to break, who refuses to deal with my crap.

Allie Porter.

My enemy.

The girl raised by the mother I never had—perfect, untouchable, infuriating.

She meets my fire with her own, and it pisses me off almost as much as it pulls me in. I want her and despise her in the same breath, which is why I keep my distance.

Until the night I save her life. Now she’s indebted to me, and if she wants to survive she’ll do what I say.

But taming the little filly is nothing like I expected.

The closer we get, the more her truths tear through my assumptions.

She’s not the pampered princess I tried to hate—

She’s a survivor. A fighter.

A girl drowning in the same darkness I carry.

And somewhere between hate and obsession, the truth becomes undeniable:

I’ll burn this dynasty to ash before I let someone else claim what’s mine.

 

 

 

 

 

About JL Beck:

 

1. Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.

She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam.

Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks.

Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers.

She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.

Knock Down, Drag-Out Dirty (Sin City, Book 1) by Rylee Dare

Blurb:

What happens when a tiny party planner goes toe-to-toe with a big, British MMA fighter, nicknamed The Tornado? Well, have you ever heard the phrase, “It was love at first sight?” Yeah, that doesn’t really apply here since for Diem and Tor, it was lust at first fight.

Hunter

I moved to #1 Love Place for peace, quiet, and absolutely zero drama. At thirty-six, my knees crack when I stand up, I own three different types of heating pads, and I’ve accepted my destiny as the neighborhood grouch. I fight fires for a living; I don’t need to start any in my personal life.

Then there’s Iris. My twenty-four-year-old neighbor is a walking glitter bomb of sunshine and chaos. She has curves that should be illegal, a smile that blinds me, and the ability to talk at the speed of light. I try to scare her off with my best glare, but she just waves at me like we’re best friends. I tell myself she needs someone her own age—someone who understands TikTok trends and stays up past 10 PM—but every time she knocks on my door, my resistance crumbles a little more.

Iris

Okay, so maybe my crush on the guy next door isn’t exactly subtle. But have you seen Hunter Hartwell? He’s big, brooding, and smoking hot. Sure, he communicates primarily in grunts, frowns, and heavy sighs, but I know there’s a soft gooey center under that rock-hard exterior.

I’ve been trying to wear him down with cookies and relentless cheerfulness for months, but the man is stubborn. When I get myself into a ridiculous jam in the middle of the night (don’t ask), Hunter is the one who comes running to save me. And suddenly, the line between “annoying neighbor” and “something more” gets very blurry. Now I just have to convince this grumpy hero that he’s not too old, I’m not too much, and that we might just be perfect for each other.

In a town fueled by gossip and nosey neighbors, can a grumpy firefighter and a chatterbox secretary survive falling in love? Spoiler alert: It’s going to get hot.

💗Review

From their first meeting Iris has been attracted to Hunter, her neighbor, however she has unable to get a read on how he feels and her attempts to be friendly have been unsuccessful.   When she decides to adopt a dog she never thought that he would be the one to bring them together.

Hunter is a firefighter who believes that he is wrong for Iris for multiple reasons which include the age gap and their different personalities.   He was prepared to keep his distance until a misunderstanding changes everything and he gives up the fight from keeping his distance to not being able to get close enough.

The characters draw you in, the heat between them intense and humorous interactions and the adorable puppy make this story so much fun.

Part Four to the New Series by the Author of Nocturne—A Retired Master Sergeant Sucked into an Inter-Galactic Arena Called the Crucible of War, a Man Chained by The PTSD of Deaths He Committed in a Fit of Madness. At His Side, His Best Friend, His Kid, His Cane Corso, Bose.

In the scope of Primal Hunter and Defiance of the Fall as far as an expansive universe, world building.

A LITRPG Post Apocalyptic Progressive Fantasy

They’ve made it through the Iron Dungeon but not without a heavy cost, mentally and spiritually, for Jeb. His madness once again flared up, instigated by the revelation some of his soldiers have been pulled into the Crucible of War, and yet, they still have no clue where humanity will land, in which deranged City they will be shoved into, and if it is not Blood City, how they will get to them?

One thing is sure, Jeb would never abandon his Soldiers but they have far more on their plate than just humanity as they exit the Dungeon into the still waiting teeth of Greenskins looking to end them. They are also joined by some crazy Blood-elf Woman with questionable motives but they have no time to figure it out when blood is in the offing and the Emporium’s gates are in sight. Jeb struggles hard to think clearly with all that has happened, the guilt eating his soul along with the PTSD for the use and abuse he subjected his Boy to against the final Boss.

His sanity and guilt are just two of many weights crushing his shoulders. He is told within a couple years Earth will have the System dropped on its head and the Great Galactic Empire, not far behind. His immediate impulse is to go to his home and defend it but none have ever escaped the Crucible of War in the long history of its debauchery, ever.

💋friends to lovers

😍protective golden retriever 

🥃baker x distiller

😉not-so-secret crush

🧁black cat with a past

🥵mutual yearning & pining

I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.

Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but I’ve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.

He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and he’s there. I need a ride, and he’s there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and he’s there with a sizzling kiss.

The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness

But secrets like mine don’t stay buried in small towns. If I don’t want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.

Why you will love this book…

🔥He falls first

🔥Star Crossed Lovers

🔥Found Family

🔥Second Chance

🔥Different Worlds

🔥Forbidden Love

The time is now.

I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him. 

Heart-stoppingly handsome. 

Totally forbidden. 

Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special. 

He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought … 

Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and it’s so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But it’s the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared. 

It’s magic when we’re together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance. 

But he still believes our timing was off before. He’s wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasn’t healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, we’ll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.

Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.

I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.

But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.

Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.

(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)

But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.

My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up. 

But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.

Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.

I just hope this is a test we both survive.

As the daughter of the head of the Thorpe Syndicate, my life was decided for me from the beginning. I was expected to look a certain way. Act a certain way. To put the syndicate above my own desires. To marry the son of the head of another crime family in a deal brokered by my father.

The night my arranged betrothal was announced was when everything changed.

My brother’s best friend chased me into the woods and stole my first kiss.

Now, my engagement is drawing closer. I’m doing my best to survive one day at a time, keeping my head down while I attend classes at Cranham University, a former Victorian prison and home of the Cranham Kings hockey team.

But he’s there, a constant reminder of what happened in the woods. His hateful gaze tracks me in the hallways and the lecture halls. I loathe him. Yet when he’s flying across the ice with his teammates, I can’t help but notice him.

And the way he makes me feel? That’s a secret I’ll take to the grave.

Tensions are rising. Something is brewing, and my family risks being caught up in it all. I don’t know who I can trust, and as for Jay?

He’s a complication I can’t afford, because the consequences would be devastating for us all.

Show Me Forever by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, pro hockey romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a hero who falls first and harder than he ever expected.

I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out.
The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.

It’s the only explanation for how one moment of weakness turns into a night I can’t forget.
And the worst part? I can’t stop.
It’s too damn good.

Two pink lines change everything.

Suddenly I’m living with the one man who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Only Oliver isn’t who I thought he was. He’s patient. Attentive. Protective. And somehow, day by day, he makes it impossible to pretend he’s not everything I’ve been too terrified to want.

Now I can’t help wondering if what started as a mistake…
Might just be the beginning of forever.

Show Me Forever is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance packed with off-limits workplace tension, a one-night stand, a surprise pregnancy, and a hero who was all in from page one. It’s book three in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

🏒Review🏒
It has been ingrained into Rina that men don’t stay, and she needs to focus on her career so that she can be self sufficient and not have to rely on anyone. This is why she is cautious when Oliver starts to break through her walls as she knows that if anyone found out they were together, let alone that she was expecting his baby, that her PR career for the team he plays for would be over.

Oliver has had feelings for Rina for a while and once they give in to the chemistry between them he isn’t about to let it end. Finding out she is pregnant only make him more determined that they will be together and he will show her that he is the one man she can count onto always be there for her.

I really enjoyed the special relationship that Rina had with her friends and the camaraderie between the team. From the beginning Oliver is all in and he will do whatever is necessary to show her that they belong together and not just because of the baby but because of their feelings for each other. Jason Clarke brings the charm and heat when it comes to Oliver while Mollie Stark brings the sass and the emotions of Rina and together they were perfection.

Blurb:

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being in the hospital with stitches in my head and no way out makes me pretty desperate. So I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.

But what do I get?

Accused of being a prostitute. Talk about a waste of phone minutes.

With plan A a no-go, I move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, I’m nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.

When he pretends to be my boyfriend, I’m shook. And even more shook when I discover this is the rude guy from the app.

Turns out he’s not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I go along with the lie anyway, thinking I can ditch him as soon as I’m free.

Except that doesn’t happen.

I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.

Then my apartment is broken into, and I’m running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, something he seems more than capable of… Which is kinda odd for a real estate agent, right?

As the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if I’ll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.
