๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ (๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐) by USA Today bestselling author Layla Hagen releases on January 23rd, 2026! Check out this teaser!
Iโm the last single LeBlanc brotherโfamous in New Orleans for being a successful CEOโฆand a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasnโt on my to-do listโฆuntil my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.
Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. Iโm running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.
So when I space out during Piperโs pitch, she assumes Iโm hungover. Given my reputation, I canโt blame herโbut it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I donโt need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.
However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitchโฆexcept Iโm far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.
I shouldnโt want Piper. I canโt afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.
โจTEASER: ON BORROWED TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing January 16th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Connor Crais & Vanessa Edwin in DUET!
Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasnโt the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.
But showing him my bare backside wasnโt in my plans either.
When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.
I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.
But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldnโt resist his plea.
Or his massive physiqueโthe one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.
The problem with living together though is thereโs little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that heโs like a nut I want to crack open.
And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungsโand reignites my creativity as well.
But I gave myself a deadline to figure out whatโs next.
Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.
Turns out the heart doesnโt care, even when youโre on borrowed time.

BLURB: Power Playis a hate-to-love you romance featuring a playboy hero whoโs always ready for a good time and a strait-laced heroine whoโs not in the mood for his shenanigans.
Lifeโs a party, right? It is for me, at least while Iโm playing hockey for the Bainbridge Wolves. Once graduation rolls around and reality sets in, Iโll be off to grad school and one step closer to the life my dad has mapped out for me. Until then, Iโm going to enjoy every second of college life.
Everything changed when she became the accidental target of a prank gone wrong, and now the one girl I want for more than one night loathes me. Iโve tried to ignore my growing feelings, but thatโs impossible. Everywhere I go, there she isโthe hockey house, our training facility, and even in my dreams. No matter how much I try to change her opinion, she still hates me. But she doesnโt hate the things we do together when no one else is around.
It turns out, fighting and foreplay have a lot in common, but for once just having a good time isnโt enough. I want serious. I want forever. I just have to convince her that I can be more, that I can be everything she needs.
Power Play is the third book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love party boy heroes with charm to spare, and heroines who donโt have the time or the patience for anyoneโs nonsense, then get ready to watch Blue Halliday fall hard and fast for Liza DeWalt.

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.
Playing professional hockey wasnโt just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. Iโve worked my whole life for this career, and now that Iโm playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, Iโm exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.
Until the day it doesnโt.
Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didnโt see coming. And as Iโm trying to figure out how to say goodbye, Iโm blindsided againโbecause heโs named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.
Maddie and Iโฆ weโre not friends. Weโre barely acquaintances. If Iโm oil, sheโs water, and weโve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl whoโs already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.
Are we capable? Iโd like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we canโt take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.
Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.
Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless. I told myself it was a mistake Iโd never repeat.
Then he finds me at the Maple Festivalโฆ in labor with our surprise baby.
The best part? I had no idea I was pregnant.
Now Jasper is everywhere. The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he doesnโt just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so heโs never far away from us. Heโs a shirtless, helpful menace who cooks, cleans, and cuddles our son. He makes me feel safe, seen, and wanted. And I hate how much I love it.
Every time I shove him away, he shows back up, golden retriever energy and all, with coffee and pastries in tow, ready to carry the baby, the groceries, and occasionally me.
I came to Maplewood, Vermont, to discover my independence. But itโs hard to keep my distance when the townโs been shaken by danger, the scars from my past refuse to stay buried, and the firefighter I should absolutely avoid keeps setting my world on fire.
Turns out the biggest threat to me in Americaโs most charming small town might be the man who wonโt stop rescuing me.
Authorโs Note: Sap & Secrets is a small-town romance featuring a curvy black cat, a tattooed golden retriever, and a (very cute) surprise baby. If you enjoy acts of service, small-town shenanigans, and maple syrup madness, you will not be disappointed.

He should be off limits, but he’s the best kind of trouble.
Briar
My father gave me the family brewery as an early Christmas present.
Generous, right? Except every single person on staff just quit, and I only have a budget that’ll last through the end of the year.
I need a miracle.
Lucky for me, my best friend Hannah’s big brother, Liam, is a genius brewer, and she convinces him to quit his job and come work for me. She only has one condition: I can never date him.
It’s an easy agreement to make. I’ve vowed to stay away from men after an embarrassing breakup, and I’d never sleep with someone who works for me. Besides, Liam’s an amateur boxer and frankly a bit terrifying.
Only…it turns out my best friend’s brooding, insanely talented big brother is the only man who’s ever really understood me.
Liam
I promised my sister not to date any more of her friends, because the last time I tried, it ended badly. Very badly.
I took this job thinking it wouldn’t be a problem to stay away from Briar. She’s a daddy’s girl who looks like a princess and talks like a boarding school teacher. Not my type.
But the woman I wrote off knows a lot about beer, and she’s a whole lot tougher than I gave her credit for. I want to run this brewery with her…and I want her too.
To my complete shock, I’m falling hard for my boss, and if my sister finds out, there will be hell to pay.
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.
Turns out the heart doesnโt care, even when youโre on borrowed time.
When I’m confronted in the woods by a man with a chainsaw and a gorgeous face, I shouldโve known it would end poorly.
But when I end up in the killerโs house instead of chopped into little pieces, I donโt know what to think. Not when he promises me that he wonโt hurt me, and especially when he tells me that I canโt leave.
Not unless he can trust me.
He canโt, of course. Iโll tell anyone that will listen that this monster cut up some man in the moonlight, even if he promises that it had been deserved.
Heโs lying, because thereโs no way anyone deserves what he did.
Earning his trust is an act, but when the lie starts to fail, I find that the man underneath the terrifying mask is something altogether different than I could ever expect. Heโs charming, sweet, and his obsession with me is dangerous enough that I know I should run far and fast before either of us can act on it.
Can a monster like him ever love a girl he found in the woods, or am I destined to become Sunday dinner for a recovering cannibal and the family he swears to hate?
