That Crush by Jillian Dodd is now live!

She’s scared to fall in love again. He’s determined to be the one she falls for.

When Damon Diamond first laid eyes on Ainsley Archibald at fifteen, he knew it was more than just a crush. But with their four-year age gap and her indifference, he had to keep his feelings at bay.

Three years later, everything has changed. Damon’s no longer the boy she barely noticed–he’s grown into a confident, irresistible man with one goal for the summer: to make Ainsley his.

Ainsley arrives at her uncle’s resort in the Ozarks, eager to get back out there after a bad breakup. But the moment she lays eyes on Damon, everything shifts. He’s hot, heading to college, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

What starts as harmless flirting, quickly spirals into feelings that neither of them can ignore.

Torn between her desire for him and the complications of their age difference, Ainsley must decide if she’s ready to risk everything for a summer of love.

Because Damon isn’t just after a fling–he wants her heart.

💜 𝕋𝔼𝔸𝕊𝔼ℝ ℝ𝔼𝕍𝔼𝔸𝕃 💜

𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 (Dayton Series book 4) by Stevie J Cole & LP Lovell releases next week! Check out this teaser!

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐔𝐩: https://forms.gle/XurNHkfFVeLcPSxW7

What to expect:

💜 Second Chance

💜 Enemies to Lovers

💜 Morally Grey MMC

💜 Forced Proximity

💜 Blackmail

Blurb:

Wolf Brookes was the bad boy who broke my heart, moved on faster than I could blink, and didn’t even bother to look back. Which is why I hate him.

A year and a half after the heartbreak, I’ve made some questionable choices—like breaking into his house and stealing from him. In my defense, I needed the money. He didn’t need to catch me… or blackmail me into playing little sister to the makeshift frat of reprobates he helps run.

Now I’m stuck in a party house from hell with my tattooed, arrogant ex.

My plan? Use being in his house to my advantage, get what I need to beat him at his own game, and get out.

His plan? Apparently to torment me by acting as though he doesn’t own a shirt.

But the more time we spend together, the more I see glimpses of the boy I loved—and the man he’s become. He’s still the same reckless, infuriating disaster I fell for, and I’m still the idiot who can’t seem to quit him.

Falling for him again would be the worst idea of my life.

But losing him twice?

That might break me for good.

USA Today bestselling authors Stevie J Cole and LP Lovell bring you a steamy, second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance full of banter, bad boys and bad decisions, and the kind of love that never dies—even when it should.

🏒 Hockey Romance

🏒 Secret Relationship

🏒 He Falls First & He Falls Hard

🏒 Brother’s Best Friend

🏒 Boy Obsessed

🏒 Reformed Playboy

🏒 Coach’s Step-daughter

🏒 Possessive MMC

🏒 Look at Her & 💀

Blurb:

Darcy, Darcy, Darcy.

The name I should have wiped from my mind nearly two years ago.

Her brother, and my assistant captain, has repeatedly warned she’s off-limits to a guy like me—a playboy bound to bed her one night and break her heart the next morning—an opinion shared by her stepdad, who also happens to be my coach. I can see why they don’t want their goalie anywhere near her. My reputation with women isn’t exactly unblemished.

Except, they shouldn’t judge what they don’t understand, and neither should my girl. Okay, she’s not technically my girl yet, but that’s just semantics, as are the things I’ll do to make her mine.

Each time she’s visited from the UK, I’ve warred with the respect I have for my friendship with her brother versus pursuing a growing obsession for the honey-haired bombshell with blue eyes as big as the Ocean that separates us.

That is, until everything changes and there’s nothing keeping me at a safe distance. She’s living in Brooklyn and looking for fun with guys, and I can no longer observe from the sidelines. Any chance—no matter how small—she gives me, I’m going to take it and say to hell with the consequences.

Only, the opportunity I get isn’t small, and neither are the stakes that go with it.

But again, that’s just semantics …

✨TEASER: PENN

 by @sawyerbennett123 releasing July 15! 

#PreOrderHere 

https://geni.us/SB-Penn

Why you will love this book…
🔥Hockey Romance

🔥Tragic Past

🔥Tortured Hero

🔥Forbidden Romance

🔥Friends to Lovers

🔥Romantic Suspense

Penn Navarro is the best player in the league—unstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.

Hockey is my life. It’s what I was born to do. That’s not ego talking, just fact—I’ve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesn’t erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage I’ve done. It’s why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, you’ll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself. 

Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. She’s a ghost I’ve tried to bury, the reminder of everything I’ve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins don’t stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Mila’s arrival means my time is up.

The past isn’t just knocking at my door—it’s kicking it down, crumbling all the walls I’ve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.

What to expect:

🐚 Small Town Romance

🐚 Secret Identity

🐚 Friends with Benefits

Blurb:

I arrive in Sandcastle Cove expecting peace and quiet—just a few weeks of house-sitting for Aunt Ida while she dotes on her new grandbaby. But then I meet Brew—a tall, tempting, and dangerously charming local bartender with a slow smile and hands that know exactly how to make a woman unravel. My plans change completely. Our chemistry is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. One taste of him has me lost in late nights, tangled sheets, and a heat that has nothing to do with the coastal sun.

However, Brew is hiding something—something that doesn’t quite fit with the quiet life he pretends to lead.

Now, I’m falling hard for a man who might be everything I never knew I needed. One who has me reconsidering everything about my life in Balsam Ridge. But if he won’t let me in, how can I trust him with my heart?

Review

Having seen the hurt that a failed marriage can cause Maggie is not looking for love or a relationship. She has enjoyed a friendship and physical relationship with Jack in the past and now that she is working for him it only seems natural for that to continue. What wasn’t part of the plan was to find out she was pregnant and now they must decide where they go from here.

Jack is single and intends to stay that way especially since his career as a polo player is causing him to relocate. The time he spent with Maggie was supposed to fun and casual but finding out she is pregnant changes everything and it will cause him to not only reassess being a father but his feelings for Maggie as well.

This is a story of two people who have a lot in common from their views on relationships to their careers which allows them to understand what the other is feeling. What began as a way to co-parent turned into a love that neither thought they wanted.

✨EXCERPT: SHELTER FROM THE STORM by @maricarrauthor releasing June 17th! 

#PreOrderHere  

Shelter from the Storm

When Gretchen placed her hand in his, Theo felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. The Earth tilted on its axis and a large part of him was shocked he managed to remain on his feet. 

He tightened his grip, trying to calm her trembling—and now his own—even though the connection of their hands lingered past the normal length of time for a handshake.

If Theo had his way, he’d never let go.

Gretchen held his gaze, a multitude of emotions crossing her face, too many for Theo to take in. All he knew was that he wanted to understand every single one of them. Wanted to know why she looked scared, confused, sad, intrigued, regretful, determined, and even hopeful. It was all there, reflected in those beautiful blue eyes of hers.

“Gretchen,” he murmured, needing to feel her name on his lips again, smiling down at the slim, gorgeous woman, who stared back at him looking slightly startled. 

Did she feel it too?

Suddenly, he recalled the story his father had often told about the first time he’d met Theo’s mother, the way he’d known in an instant that Mom was the woman he was going to marry.

Then he remembered a more recent conversation between him and Levi, who’d sworn he’d known the second he touched Kasi that she was meant to be his. 

Theo had been amused by the story, even though he’d discounted it. Because that wasn’t how love worked.

Or so he’d thought.

Right now, though.

In this moment.

It was just as Levi had said.

Love at first touch.

Well…

This was inconvenient.

I treat each new client in my matchmaking business like its own mission. And I’m proud to say that I have a one hundred percent success rate.

Or at least I did. Before Allie Larsen entered the picture.

She’s smart. She’s beautiful. She’s charming…

… and she’s impossible to please.

But when it turns out Allie has secrets she’s been keeping, she not only jeopardizes her own matchmaking mission, but she puts both our lives in danger.

Except this time, it’s not only my life at risk… it’s my heart.

When they said, “All’s fair in love and war,” I’m not sure this is what they meant.

💗Review💗

Thatcher is the most unlikely matchmaker you would expect to find based on his previous career as a Navy SEAL, but he will do anything to honor the wife he loved and lost including this.   He now finds himself with a new client and conflicted as however unexpected the matchmaker might have just met his perfect match.

Allie may have come across Thatcher by chance, but she is intrigued by the man and his business.   If that isn’t enough to draw her in then there is also the opportunity that she could write a compelling story and finally start crafting the articles she wants to create and not the articles she is being forced to write.

This story manages to incorporate so many different aspects from the humorous banter to the intrigue part of the story and a romance between two people who weren’t looking for love.

You Are My Reason Duet – Mason is at a crossroads in his life and must decide whether to continue the path that he is on or to try and break away which will destroy his life as he knows it. Jules is a widow who lost her husband less than a year ago and she wants to move on, but the guilt is holding her back. Secrets, suspense and drama collide as just when you think you know where the story is going there is another surprise that throws you for a loop.

Love was never a problem in their marriage however they have changed from the people they were when they married and grown apart. So much emotion, so much angst and so many secrets leave us needing to know what the future holds for this captivating couple.

Suzette is determined to protect her job and her team and isn’t about to back down from anyone and that includes her sexy new boss. She is more than willing to submit to him physically but that doesn’t mean she is willing to submit in all areas of her life. Hot chemistry combined with a possessive hero who is so much more than he appears has met his match in his feisty and fiery heroine.

It is great to have these stories in one collection. I haven’t had a chance to read Sealed With A Kiss yet but I am looking forward to reading that story as well.

When rival realtors can’t agree on a deal and get set up on a dinner date by their in-cahoots assistants, what could possibly go wrong?

Tristan Lucas is the rich silver fox, playboy with a pretty face and eyes that shouldn’t be so alluring. Not for my arch enemy, anyway. He infuriates me like nobody else on the planet. Which is why I don’t plan on him coming to the rescue when I bump into my cheating ex-husband at our high-school reunion. Somehow, my lips find his and all of a sudden he’s playing along.

We hatch up a 30 second plan, between tequila shots and my panic high, to pretend we’re dating… and that isn’t the worst of it. Oh, no. It seems I just can’t stay away from Tristan Lucas and his bedroom eyes.

All we have to do is go back to our normal lives after our hot impromptu weekend, and all will be right in the world again.

Should be easy to do, right? Oh, how wrong I am…

Now my annoyingly handsome rival is the only man I have eyes for.

Nemesis is here! Fall back into Olympus and and the first book in the Sterling Fall Rogues series by S. Massery today!

A new darkness is seeping into Sterling Falls, and I’ve drawn its ire.

 

When a masked stranger declares he wants our ruin—mine, my brother’s, the whole town’s—I hope he’s bluffing.

 

A series of escalating events later, and it’s clear the threat is very present.

 

It’s not only present, but it drags up old nightmares I desperately need to keep in my past.

 

To keep my beloved city safe, I need to find this masked man and eliminate the threat.

 

I can’t do it on my own, but the three men poised to help are the ones I am almost certain I can’t trust.

 

Kade Laurent, the elusive and thrilling newcomer, leverages Olympus to get close to me.

 

Reese Avery, a ghost from my past, brings with him the trauma I’ve tried to bury. But he says he’s here to make amends…

 

Saint Hart and I will never get along. Especially since I’ve been tasked with keeping him, the partner of my dead best friend, alive. At least, I was convinced we were going to be mortal enemies forever—until we hate-screw in my kitchen…

 

Now things are all messed up, and I don’t know who I can rely on.

 

All I want is peace, but with danger climbing around me, seems I’m destined for the opposite.

💛Review💛

Artemis has endured experiences that no one should have to and emerged stronger and more resilient from it.   One threat may have been extinguished but another has surfaced that is placing not only her but everyone she cares about not only in jeopardy but uncertain who to trust.

We are introduced to three very different men in this story.   Saint has been part of her life for a while however their relationship is more of antagonism than friendship.   Reese has arrived but he was part of the past she is trying to overcome.  While Kade may be connected to Reese but there is a lot about him that we don’t know.

The characters and the relationship between them are intriguing as they take us on a suspenseful and surprising journey that leaves us needing the next book in this series.
