I made a deal with my worst enemy. Now, he wonโt let me go.
I had a plan: sign a contract, escape to Ibiza, and rebuild my life. It didnโt include Harrison King. A British billionaire with a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a reputation as ruthless as his business empire.

Now, Iโm in his world. Under his roof. Following his rules. The fire between us is impossible to ignore, and the more I learn about the man behind the tailored suits and cocky smirk, the more dangerous he becomes…
Not because heโs my enemy. Because he might be something more.

Check out this brand new teaser for ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ป๐ฌ ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐น ๐ป๐ถ๐ต๐ฎ๐ผ๐ฌ (New England Bay Sharks #4) by Hannah Gray, releasing June 5th!
Life as a professional hockey player keeps me plenty busy, and yet it often feels like Iโm on autopilot as the world passes me by. I suppose I canโt complain. I have the honor of calling myself a New England Bay Shark, so I have more than enough money to buy some form of happiness.
Sleeping around with beautiful women may come with the territory, but Iโve never taken the time to actually get to know any of them. In fact, thereโs only one Iโve relentlessly thought about, but sheโs off-limits. Everyone knows you canโt go after your best friendโs little sister. Especially if heโs already forbidden it.
Iโve had a crush on Saylor Sawyer since I met her years ago, and even though Iโve spent many showers and nights alone creating my own fantasies, starring her, I know I canโt
act on those โฆ filthy thoughts.
No matter how hot they are.
When a teammate hurts her badly, Saylorโs on the warpath, looking for sweet revenge. I just happen to be the lucky bastard sitting at the other end of the bar.
One hookup gets entangled with a lie, and things get complicated fast. But the lie wasnโt mine, and Iโm going to make damn sure she knows it too.
See, the night she used me to get back at her ex awakened a beast inside of me. A beast that only wants Saylor Sawyer.
Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County.
Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.
Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburnโs parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommyโs wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldnโt help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.
Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you canโt get to the present without The Past.
The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.
I arrive in Sandcastle Cove expecting peace and quietโjust a few weeks of house-sitting for Aunt Ida while she dotes on her new grandbaby. But then I meet Brewโa 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 somethingโsomething that doesnโt quite fit with the quiet life he pretends to lead.
Now, Iโm 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 wonโt let me in, how can I trust him with my heart?
Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. Heโs also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.
Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.
Iโm โMad Maddyโ Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyonโs most reviled family. Iโm also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.
Iโve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet Iโm stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in businessโor my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.
But there isnโt a contractor in the county whoโll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the townโs most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.
I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I canโt stand will be mine until Iโm ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. Iโve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, heโll ride off into the bourbon sunsetโwithout me, just like everyone else in my life.
Readers who love Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, Laura Pavlov, and Lyla Sage will love Bourbon Sunset.
Wolf Brookes was the bad boy who broke my heart, moved on faster than I could blink, and didnโt even bother to look back. Which is why I hate him.
A year and a half after the heartbreak, Iโve made some questionable choicesโlike breaking into his house and stealing from him. In my defense, I needed the money. He didnโt need to catch meโฆ or blackmail me into playing little sister to the makeshift frat of reprobates he helps run.
Now Iโm 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 doesnโt own a shirt.
But the more time we spend together, the more I see glimpses of the boy I lovedโand the man heโs become. Heโs still the same reckless, infuriating disaster I fell for, and Iโm still the idiot who canโt 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 diesโeven when it should.
โจTEASER: SHELTER FROM THE STORM by @maricarrauthor releasing June 17th!
Desperate for a new life, Gretchen escapes her abusive ex and finds refuge in the small town of Gracemont. Her plan is simple: lay low. But when she meets Theo Storm, her sexy new boss, everything changes. Drawn into the warmth of his world, Gretchen discovers the possibility of happiness, love, and familyโthings she thought were out of her reach.
For Theo, itโs love at first touch. From the moment he takes Gretchenโs trembling hand, he knows heโs found someone worth fighting for. Though he senses sheโs hiding something, heโs determined to help her overcome her painful past.
When old demons come knocking, Theo calls on his family to help protect the woman whoโs quickly claimed his heart. The Storms are a force of nature, and they quickly step up, ready to defend their own at any cost.
Will they succeed in keeping Gretchen safe, or will her dangerous past tear her and Theo apart?
A playboy football player. A shy librarian. When old friends reunite, opposites attract in a witty and lighthearted romance about taking chances and falling in love against the odds.
Itโs an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. Iโd certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak?
Unfortunately, what came next wasnโt so logical.
Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. Heโs not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?
Avoiding him after the mix-up is impossible. The man is everywhereโput in time-out by his agent after a PR snafu. Griffin might be an outrageous flirt determined to torment me until I snap, but heโs also the perfect man to help me.
The lessons arenโt what I thought theyโd be. Neither is Griffin. Every time we touch, every time he shows me a different side to myselfโand to himโI canโt help but wonder if weโre about to break another rule: the playboy and the good girl arenโt supposed to fall in love.

The Bodyguard Situation Lyra Parish Publication date: May 19th 2025
Being a bodyguard for my billionaire cousins comes with many perks. One of my favorites is rescuing gorgeous, sassy-mouthed damsels in distress…
There are a few problems with that: Harper Alexander isn’t a damsel or distressed. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that she doesn’t want to be rescued.
Too bad she doesn’t have a choice.
Right now, I don’t give a flying you-know-what that she escaped the city with her brand-new fiancรฉ and plans to marry him next week…I will find her. I may have to throw her over my shoulder, kicking and screaming, but she’s coming with me. She has no idea how much danger she’s in.
Unfortunately for her, I’m the only one who can save her. But I have a feeling, she might be the one who saves me.
The Bodyguard Situation is an action-packed, grumpy/sunshine, forced-proximity, bodyguard rom-com with suspense elements. It includes tons of witty banter, touch her and eek vibes, with lots o’ spicy tension. It can be read as a stand-alone, but for the complete Billionaire Situation Series experience, please start with The Wife Situation. Happily Ever After is always included!
Harper didnโt understand why everyone that she loved didnโt see her fiancรฉ for the man she believed him to be. As a result, her decision to support him and their relationship has created a distance between them and everyone else. It is only when they are alone that she realizes there is a lot about him she doesnโt know and isnโt sure how to extricate herself from the escalating situation until Brody comes to her rescue.
Due to his past Brody thought he had closed himself off from love until he comes to Harperโs rescue. Now he is conflicted as they are both dealing with healing from their last relationships while finding themselves on the run for their lives. Let the complications begin!
The combination of humor and intrigue was a perfect balance as well as the pacing of the relationship between Harper and Brody as they did have some turmoil to overcome. The characters draw you in and the cast of secondary characters only make this story better.

On the run, injured, and out of options, I had no choice but to go back to him.
Back to the one place I swore I wouldnโtโbecause staying away was the only way to keep him safe.
Jude Hebert.
My one-night stand turned unexpected protector.
A rugged, guitar-playing lumberjack with broad shoulders and blue eyes that could light up the darkest Maine night.
And the man determined to keep me safe.
When weโre forced to hide out in his cozy cabin, we make the best of it by playing Scrabble and sharing stolen laughter, pretending the world outside isnโt closing in. He carries me like I weigh nothing, cleans my wounds with gentle hands, serenades me with his guitar and makes heat bloom beneath my skin with every stolen glance.
He insists I take the bed every night. Eventually, I ask him to stay.
The way Jude looks at meโlike Iโm worth protectingโbreaks down my defenses. Soon, heโs my protector and confidant, and in these stolen moments, I begin to imagine a life Iโd long ago given up on having.
But the danger Iโm running from is catching up. Though the answers Iโve been chasing are within reach, so is the threat that could destroy us both.

Mila will do anything for those she cares about, and it is this trait has placed her in danger. She is going to do whatever is necessary to uncover the truth, despite any consequence it might mean for her, and isnโt about to let others handle what she views as her fight.

She loves coffee, sushi, wine, and her family. Not necessarily in that order. Her inner peace comes from the water, always relating to her zodiac sign the Pisces. Itโs no wonder the small town she created in her stories is situated on a lake.

Izzy is happy to be hired as the nanny for Loganโs children however she is confused by Loganโs action and attitude towards her at times. She fits into his and his daughtersโ lives seamlessly and the chemistry between them only intensifies the more Logan tries to deny it.

But Ava doesnโt belong to me.
Then she arrives in my clubhouse, seeking refuge. My gut churns at the sight of the bruises on her face, the fear in her eyes.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Kat Savage, comes a brand-new spinoff series: Family of Misfits! If you fell in love with the found family in the Men of Bird’s Eye series, travel south to Nashville, where the second studio location is up and running under the ownership of a familiar face with a new crew of artists!
Ridge Jessup is many thingsโan award-winning tattoo artist with celebrity clientele, the manager of the Birdโs Eye Tattoo Studio Nashville locationโฆ oh, and a thirty-five-year-old single father to a rowdy little girl.
With work getting busier, convention season coming up, and his daughter booted from her third daycare this month, heโs in desperate need of summer help. Forget about having a personal life or datingโheโs just trying to survive.
Darcy Anderson is a handful of credits short of her degree and broke. The college fund her grandmother left her didnโt withstand the test of time or inflation.
When she sees an ad for a summer nannying job, it seems perfectโone kid, weekdays only, and compensation well above average. It almost seems too good to be true.
The moment Ridge lays eyes on Darcy, he really doesnโt want to give her the job. Sheโs hot, smart, and funnyโa dangerous combination that feels disastrousโespecially with the ten-year age gap between them. But of all the candidates interviewed, his daughter only likes her. It’s a real dilemma.
Despite his best efforts to keep their relationship professional, things get hot and heavy as complications continue to mount. Darcy finds herself tornโher practical brain still preparing for the perfectly planned future she envisioned for herself while her fairytale-loving heart is looking to override everything for a single dad and his little girl she doesn’t want to walk away from.
Iโm pretty in pink dipped in sunshine and sweet Southern smiles.
Heโs blue collar wrapped up in a gruff summer storm with a scowl.
He also happens to be my ex-boyfriendโs dad.
Not only is Conway Levine grumpy, arrogant, and entirely too handsome for his own good, with the salt and pepper scruff lining his sharp jawline and his thick, corded arms, but he also had a front row seat fourteen years ago to a drunken night so mortifying I canโt look him in the eye without feeling the shame all over again.
Living in a small town makes avoiding him impossible, even more when you add in the fact that his daughter is friends with mine.
When a little tardiness and a whole lot of bad luck lands me partnering with him at our childrenโs school, Iโm certain I wonโt survive.
Before I know it, the dread from having to work with him turns into a burning desire impossible to ignore when his once stone cold demeanor shifts into longing, heated stares, and somehow, he knows all the right things to whisper in my ear to get under my skinโฆ and my dress.
Between his filthy mouth and stifling need to devour me any chance he gets, the chemistry we share between the sheets quickly becomes something out of my wildest dreams.
Except Conway doesnโt do relationships, and Iโm not built for casual.
But I couldnโt quit him even if I tried.
When all is said and done, will I be able to protect my already tattered heart or will it end up shattered into a million beautiful, messy pieces?
