When the FBI sidelines Special Agent Stephanie Kramer over health concerns, she sees her hard-won dream career go down the drain. Suddenly adrift and without purpose, she jumps at the chance when a friend offers for her to stay in their trailer by a quiet, secluded creek near Libby, Montana. As much as she tries to enjoy the tranquil settings, it’s not long before local wildlife—and the man chasing it—invade her sanctuary. When it appears the job she’s trying to leave behind is following her to Libby, the illusion of her solitary retreat is shattered.

After that last special ops assignment cost Jackson Hart his leg, he’s had a hell of a time getting back on his proverbial feet. Being hired as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team went a long way to reclaiming his sense of identity. He’s back in the saddle and adapting to a pared-down, mostly solitary existence. So the sudden jolt to his gut, when he encounters the blond federal agent he remembers well, is a harsh reminder of what is missing from his life.

Still, as much as they try to avoid the other, they seem destined to cross paths. Whether it is the intimidation of a local predator, or the threat of a former nemesis, it becomes clear they stand stronger together.

They say it becomes second nature at some point, but the fact is about fifteen percent of the body I was born with is missing, which isn’t that easy to adjust to. Every time I catch a glimpse of myself coming out of the shower, I’m still startled at my own reflection. This mental image I have of my former intact body persists, and I’m shocked each time to find part of it gone. Even in my dreams, I still have my right leg.

🩵Review🩵

Jackson has always been there for everyone whether it is his family, his friends or his country until an injury changes his life.   He struggled while trying to accept his new reality, but he has been able to make peace with what happened and is building a new life for himself.   When he sees Stephanie he wants to be there for her however he is also battling the fact that he is not the same man who originally met her.

Recent events have forced Stephanie to realize that her life is centered around her career as an FBI agent and now that has been put on hold.   All she wants is to be alone while she decides what comes next however Jackson isn’t about to let that happen especially when the danger escalates around her.

The suspense keeps you on edge and the surprises keep coming but it is the heartwarming romance between two people who never believed that love was in their future that will touch your heart.   This story also allows us to spend some time with the other characters that we have come to know and love from this series.

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 fiancé 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.

Head Over Heels In Love
Mariah Ankenman
(Jackson Family Distillery, #4)
Publication date: May 8th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Catching a woman breaking into his car was not the way Ace Jackson wanted to start his day. Finding out she’s the new hire at his family’s distillery is even worse. Sure, she said she mistook his car for her’s, but there’s something about Millie he doesn’t trust. Too bad all his siblings vetoed his vote. What’s the point of being the oldest if you don’t get to be in charge?

Millie Danes told the grumpy Adonis she wasn’t breaking into his car, but did he believe her? No! The guy has a stick up his butt bigger than the pine trees gracing the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, he’s her new boss or she’d try and see if she could melt that icy exterior. But she has more on the line than a job, she needs funds to start her dream. Her very own aerial studio.

When a theft is discovered at work, Ace enlists Millie’s help as a spy in exchange for the money to build her dream. Their tentative truce becomes complicated when desires fan the flames of temptation. In the battle of love, who will fall first?

EXCERPT:

“Millie!”

Her shouted name came from beyond the swinging door. Irritation rose, winning the war over guilt as she quickened her pace. “Ugh, coming!”

She pushed through the door into the back, muttering to herself. “Get your boxers out of a bunch you grumpy asshole. It was five damn seconds.”

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Ace demanded the second the door stopped swinging.

“Well, I was working, until you pulled me back here to yell at me like an angry schoolmarm.”

Confusion drew his brow down. “What the…never mind. How is pulling some dangerous stunt and almost breaking your fool neck working? Last time I checked this was a bar, not some ridiculous stunt show.”

That was it. She knew the guy was her boss, but he was being a giant dick. No one talked to her that way.

“First of all, I wasn’t about to break anything. Before you rushed in and grabbed me—”

“Saved you.”

She arched one eyebrow in disbelief. “Is that what you thought you were doing? Saving the helpless damsel in distress? I got news for you buddy. I have been bottle-walking for years. I know how to fall from the bottles safely. Provided some jackass doesn’t grab me off them and tweak my back.”

His angry demeanor disappeared in an instant. Ace took a step forward, eyes scanning her body as his voice softened. “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

Shocked by the sudden switch—and his concern—she shook her head. “No. I’m fine.”

The sudden grab had surprised her and put her off kilter, but he hadn’t injured her back.

He glanced into her eyes, stealing her breath as she saw the unmasked worry filling them. Wow. Who knew Mr. Ice had feelings?

“Really, Ace,” she said gently, placing a hand on his arm. “I’m okay.”

He glanced down at her hand on his arm. The air in the room thickened. A rush of heat filled her. A bolt of electricity shot through her body, her fingers tingling against his warm skin. She quickly pulled her hand back, clenching it into a fist and placing it behind her.

What the hell was that?

Pushing the moment away, Millie cleared her throat. “I know how to fall safely off the bottles. I promise you I would have been fine.”

Ace shook his head, blinking a few times before the angry scowl returned to his face. “Why the hell were you on top of those bottles in the first place? We pay you to work, Millie. Not goof around.”

And there went all her warm fuzzy feelings for this man. Jeeze, it was like Jekyll and Hyde with him.

“I was working.” She lifted onto her toes, still not high enough to be eye to eye with the Grumpy Green Giant. Lifting a finger, she poked him in the chest. “If you take a peek out that door you will see.”

Ace glanced down at her finger, raising a brow when he looked back up at her.

Maybe poking her boss wasn’t the best idea, but he was being a jerk, and she didn’t like to be pushed around. Especially not when she was making him a ton of money.

“Look,” she huffed, flopping back onto flat feet and pushing the door open a crack. “See all those people rushing to get the new drink special? I did that. It’s called creative marketing.”

Ace leaned over her. His chest pressing against her back, the heat radiating off his body nearly suffocating her with its warm, intoxicating scent. Dammit! Why did he have to be so hot? Normally it didn’t matter how attractive a person was, if they were an ass, she wasn’t attracted to them. Her body didn’t get that memo with Ace. Didn’t matter. Wasn’t like she was going to do anything about it.

🍻Review🍻

Ace is a man who has required routine and control so from his first meeting with Millie he knew that she was trouble.   A misunderstanding doesn’t get them off to the best start however when a problem arises he knows that she is the best way to try and solve it.   The only problem with that plan is spending time with her forces him to see that there is so much more to life than the way he  has been living it.

Millie has dreams for the future and working at Ace’s family bar is just a stepping stone to get there.   She and Ace couldn’t me more different, but he has also offered her an opportunity to achieve her dream.   What was supposed to be a simple assignment turns into more when she realizes that there is so much more to Ace than first appears.

Ace and Millie were so delightful together as she knows exactly what to do or say to get a rise out of him and he gives as good as he gets.   Although they had a few challenges along the way they ultimately bring out the best in each other.

Lilah

I was left for dead when I was eighteen.

Coming to Mustang Creek Ranch gave me something to live for.

My boss is grumpy and reclusive.

But I’m secretly in love with him, even though he’s made it known he’ll never settle down.

Even though he’s made it clear, he’ll never be mine-or anyone’s.

Emmett

I’ve kept my distance from Lilah for years. No matter how much I want her, she’s off-limits.

The only family I will ever have are the ones I fought beside in battle-the family I chose.

Until the phone rang and I found out I had an eight-year-old daughter.

Watching Lilah with my daughter makes me wonder what it would be like to do the thing I swore I never would: have a family and fall in love.

When I move her into my house to keep her safe from the dangers of her past, all bets are off.

💞Review💞
Lilah refuses to let the traumatic event she endured years earlier define her. She has found a place to heal at Mustang Creek Ranch even if Emmett seems to disapprove of everything she does. She may have feelings for Emmett but doesn’t believe he will ever feel the same way until a little danger and the daughter he didn’t know about force them together.

Emmett has a difficult past which has made him determined not to fall in love or have a family. His life is turned upside down to find out he has an 8 year old daughter that he knew nothing about. Now he is trying to deal with his grieving daughter who along with Lilah show him how empty his life truly was.

Emmett, Lilah and Lucy are all great characters who draw you in. A little turmoil, some suspense and so many feels as Emmett and Lilah bring us through a rollercoaster of emotion. Gregory Salinas did a wonderful job with Emmet as you could feel the conflict he was experiencing while Savannah Peachwood brings out the strength and sass of Lilah.

A vampire bit me while we were making out. Now, I’m being forced to marry him.

Okay, not forced.

I just don’t have any other options.

My family is being targeted by a dangerous wolf pack, so we turned to our king for help. But he happens to be the guy I kissed.

He agrees to keep us safe—for the small price of my hand in marriage. Or mating.

Whatever you want to call it, he demands my future.

The alternative is embracing a group of cruel wolf shifters, so I put my hand in his and say the magical equivalent of, “I do.”

I’m giving up my freedom for the safety of my family…but I won’t fall in love with him.

Not even maybe.

Because mating sucks, but love?

It bites.

“I’m not sure I’m ready to do this,” she says from the other room.

“Get your ass out here or I’m coming in to get you.”

“I’d take great pleasure in slamming and locking the door in your face if there were any doors in this place,” she grumbles, and I chuckle.

Elizabeth tentatively walks out of the bedroom, her nervousness apparent by the way her hands fidget at her sides, and my mind goes blank for a second.

She’s wearing the two-piece bikini set I bought her in New York because I liked the color. I never thought she would actually wear it, because sweet, pious Elizabeth wouldn’t be caught in something so scandalous. But she’s not that girl anymore, is she?

My gaze follows the path of her butterfly tattoos before my eyes land on the vertical scar that starts at her navel. My fantasies of her in it are nothing compared to the magnificent reality standing before me now.

“Stop it, Fallon.” She covers her abdomen with her hands. “The way you’re looking at me is exactly why I’m not ready to expose myself like this.”

“How am I looking at you?”

“You’re scowling like my scars either disgust you or you pity me because of them.”

I didn’t realize I was scowling. Seeing the reminders of what happened to her makes me want to burn the entire world to the ground.

“Disgust was the furthest thing from my mind, I can assure you,” I reply.

“You pity me, then.”

I slowly approach her. “Wrong again.” I give in to the temptation to touch what can never be mine. Moving her hands away from her abdomen, I trail my fingers up the soft skin of her arms, and she shivers. My fingers glide down the curves of her torso, and she pulls in a shaky breath. I tempt fate by splaying my hand across her stomach, my thumb running soft circles around her navel. “Does this feel like pity to you?”

“What is it you want?”

“You. I want you.”

He spun suddenly, still holding me to him, and took two steps before bracing me on the edge of the kitchen table. “Can you be quiet?”

Oh fuck yes. I nodded, and pressed my teeth harder into my lip. I wasn’t sure what he had in mind. I doubted he planned to have me right here with his kids asleep upstairs. But his gaze was all sorts of serious, and I’d agree to just about anything if it meant I could feel him. His touch. His mouth. Any of him.

He glanced down at my sleep shorts and groaned. “Do these even cover your ass.”

I smirked. “Mostly.”

He slowly looked back up my body as his fingers danced along the hem of my shorts. I braced my hands behind me and leaned back, giving him more access.

“You like teasing me?” His thumb disappeared under the fabric of my shorts and pressed hard against my clit.

My hips bucked and his grip tightened on my hip, holding me still.

“I like the way you look at me.”

“And how do I look at you?” 

I stared at him, trying to find the right words to describe it. “Like you couldn’t possibly go another minute without kissing me. Or touching me.”

“That is very accurate.” He smiled. “Even if you were wearing sweats that covered your gorgeous body, I’d still want to touch you. To feel your lips against mine.”
