A sexy he falls first, boy obsessed, sports romance from bestselling author, Lulu Moore
My name is Parker King, and I am in love.
Yet Scout Davison barely knows I exist.
Therefore, I do what any sensible guy does when he’s trying to get a girl’s attention, I ask her out.
Except I’m too late.
Thanks to the job offer on the New York Lions Social media team, Scout’s focus is on work, so while pining for her I focus on making her my friend instead. Friends first, date later.
Or at least I thought.
The more time we spend together though, the harder it becomes for both of us to deny our feelings.
And when a new company policy makes it almost impossible for us to give in, we find ourselves falling for one another.
Now all we need to do is keep our relationship a secret until after the playoffs, and avoid Coach breathing down our necks.
The Strike Zone is a dangerous place to stay, but we’re going out swinging.
Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She’s the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions – the worst team in the M.L.B.
More recently she’s ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set – the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.
She’s a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You’ll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.
I heard her breath hitch. Her gaze was riveted to mine.
I didn’t say anything more, just waited for her to comply. Her scent had a tinge of anxiety in it that drove my wolf into a frenzy, but I let it ride. That was part of the excitement of submission. The element of danger–even just a pretend one–amplified the pleasure.
I could see her pulse racing at her throat, but her large brown nipples were stiff and hard and the perfume of her arousal filled my nostrils.
Tentatively, she lifted he“r hands to the top of her head. Her heavy breasts rose and spread with the movement, like an offering for my mouth, which watered for a taste.
“Good girl,” I praised. I still didn’t touch her, although I could tell through her pleading gaze that she wanted me to. “Now spread your legs wide.”
She let out a tiny whimper of desire, eyes still glued to mine as she slid her bare feet wider.
“That’s it, baby. Very good. Now, let’s see how wet you are.” I reached between her legs and stroked two fingers over her slit. “Did you do a good job with that vibrator?”
She trembled when I touched her, like it was almost too much to bear. Her belly shuddered in and out.
“Ohh.” I made the syllable an exclamation of pleasure when I felt her feminine honey that practically dripped between my fingers.
We were alone in the bunkhouse. No one else lived here at the moment, so she could be as loud as she wanted. And if anyone heard, I didn’t care. They’d know my mate was being well satisfied.
“Yes, you were a good girl, weren’t you?” I kept gliding my fingers through her slick at the same time my other hand came to cup one of her breasts. I brushed my thumb over her taut nipple.
Unsteady, her hands came off her head to fall on my shoulders.
“Uh-uh.” I gave her breast a light slap. “Hands on your head, beautiful.”
She gasped and her hands flew back to the top of her head.
“I want your body open and available for my exploration.”
Her juices practically gushed between her legs. She liked my brand of dirty talk. Liked being dominated. Good to know. I never thought of myself as bossy or controlling, but I found it natural to be in charge of her. Natural to take care of my mate’s needs by holding the reins.
I slid one finger up to roll the pad of it over her clit and she squirmed, shifting her hips right and left and whimpering. “Which do you like better, my finger or the vibrator?”
“Your finger,” she answered immediately.
My wolf gave a growl of satisfaction. I wouldn’t have been offended at all if she’d said the vibrator, but I loved that she preferred my touch.
I wiggled my finger in a quick, vibrating motion and she let out a sobbing breath. “Ohhh. J.”
Fuck, I loved hearing her nickname for me on her lips. I stopped touching and lifted my finger to my mouth, sucking. “You taste so good, baby,” I said when I pulled it out.
I picked up the furry handcuffs from the bed. “Turn around, Lyssa.”
She blinked. There was a stutter in her energy. I didn’t know how I could tell, but I could. “You can… you can just call me baby when we’re in bed,” she said.
Huh. She didn’t like hearing her name. That was interesting. Something to follow up on later. Right now, I wanted to keep her in the mood.
I lowered my lids to half-mast. “Turn around, baby.”
She immediately complied, turning to face the bed with her hands on top of her head.
I took one wrist, then the other and slowly, gently, pulled them behind her back. “Do you like having control taken away, Ly– baby?”
“Um…”
I snapped one of the cuffs on her wrist, then ran my finger around it to make sure it wasn’t too tight. “Does it help you let go and enjoy yourself?” I snapped the other side in place.
Instinctively, she tugged and tested the hold.
“Yes.” She breathed the syllable with a sound of relief, like she needed me to name a good reason before she agreed to what her body craved.
I put my hands on her waist and shifted her to center her body at the foot of my bed. I’d chosen the large, spacious room with a queen bed, the perfect place to fuck my mate.
“Bend over, baby.”
She hesitated.
I swatted her ass, a little harder than the playful swat before my shower, but nothing rough. “That was an order, beautiful girl.”

Emma has grown weary of always making the responsible choice, so she decides to make some changes in her life and it begins with a surprise visit to her sister. When she arrives, she finds out her sister isn’t there so when a sexy cowboy comes looking for Lyssa’s boss she pretends to be her and have the fun that she has always wanted but never experienced.
Johnny has an agenda for being there and it involves ensuring that Lyssa’s boss gets the punishment that he deserves. The situation is filled with complications as not only is she pretending to be her sister, but there is a lot about him that she doesn’t know.
Great chemistry, a little intrigue and a shifter who has met his mate and now he just need to tell her.
I see her break down in front of me. “It changed fucking everything,” she sobs, a wrecked sob that cuts me off at my knees. It’s even a miracle I’m still standing. “You changed everything. You didn’t once think about us.” Her voice goes down to a whisper, but the night is quiet, and I can hear every word. “You never once thought about me.”
I can’t help but take a step back when she says the words. With each word, it feels like a blade slicing me open, leaving me to bleed out. “How can you say that to me? You—” The words feel like they are ripped out of me. “You were the only fucking thing I thought about. You were all I ever thought about.” I trail off, not sure I can stand here and take much more. So instead of causing her more pain, I do the cowardly thing as I slowly turn and start to walk away from her. There is nothing left to say. Everything that should have been said should have been said all those years ago. Not now. Not when everything is done and buried.
“I wouldn’t have done it,” she snaps to my retreating back, her voice so tight I know her hands are balled by her sides. “I would have given up being set for life. I would have done everything to make sure that would have not been taken away from you.” I close my eyes, stopping in my tracks. “I would have done nothing that would have jeopardized us. That would have taken your love away from me.”
“You can’t say that.” I turn to the side, seeing her exactly the way I thought she would be, but also looking more beautiful than I remember. More beautiful than my dreams. More beautiful than my memories.
“Thank you for that offer, but I’m going to decline.”
Jonah’s grin falls. “Excuse me?”
“I won’t be doing any of it.”
“I can end your career with a phone call.”
“And I know every consequence you’ll face if you don’t cooperate. I know that scares you. Because who are you if you’re not in this band? If you’re not this cocky, broody rock star? Hm?”
His eyes narrow to slits as he juts his chin, telling me to go on.
“Without the façade, you’re everything you hate. Just a spoiled rich boy with zero repercussions for your bad behavior. Until now.”
I mimic his earlier gesture and reach for his face, but unlike me, he doesn’t swat at my hand. He lets me run my fingers over his jaw.
“You’re not the only one who can do an internet search. I was surprised to see you with brown hair and glasses in your school pictures.” I look back into his blue eyes. “Do you wear contacts?”
He swallows, and my attention drops to his Adam’s apple. There’s an anatomical heart inked on his throat, and it looks like it’s beating with the movement. I drop my hand and step back before I touch that, too.
“I’ve watched women I love be mistreated by men like you my whole life. I won’t let you do that to me. I’m here to do a job, and if I go down, I’m taking you with me.”
His face grows devoid of emotion. I wonder if this is how serial killers look just before they snap. I’m not afraid of him, though. My anger makes me stupid.
“Understand?”
“Sure, Davis.” A smirk forms on his swollen, thoroughly kissed lips. “Now what should I do about this?”
He gestures to his lower body. I forgot he was naked, but now I have to fight to keep my eyes above his chin. I don’t want to know if he’s still hard. I don’t care.
The Stingrays call goalie Coulton Moore their gentle giant. The tall, imposing man is the team’s rock, their steadying influence on and off the ice. However, that mild disposition disappears completely when the beautiful bartender he’s been lusting after from across a crowded bar is attacked. Then, it’s all bets off as he steps in to defend her, protect her, and claim her as his.
Ainsley doesn’t have time for any more men in her life. Between serving a rowdy bunch of guys in her family’s dive bar, caring for her ailing father, and dealing with her brother and his ever-growing pile of gambling debt, her cup overfloweth when it comes to the male population.
When her brother’s enemies track her down, looking for retribution, a sexy, dominant stranger steps forward to save her. At first, it’s simple enough to accept his help and his kisses and his tantalizing touches because, after a lifetime of crap, she figures she’s due a night of mind-blowing passion with Coulton, the hottest man she’s ever met.
The problem begins when morning comes and he informs her what they shared was never going to be just a one-night stand. Nope. Coulton, the stubborn, determined, possessive man is settling for nothing less than her.
She thought her past was buried. He’s about to unearth the truth along with her heart.
Thea Weaver came to Acton, Colorado, for a fresh start. She poured her soul into her bar, Bottle Grounds, and into protecting her sisters. But when her ex-husband—a dangerous man from a dangerous past—threatens to resurface, Thea knows she can’t face him alone.
Logan Cash has spent his life fixing what’s broken: his family, his ranch, and his daughter’s future. So when Thea, his stubborn and fiercely independent friend, asks for his help, he doesn’t hesitate. Even if it means pretending to be her husband.
But what starts as a charade to protect Thea’s business soon stirs something deeper between them. Late-night rides and shared secrets force them closer, but Thea’s past isn’t finished with her yet. As Logan fights to shield her from the storm heading her way, Thea must decide if she can truly trust him—not just with her bar, but with her heart.
Break the Barrier is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance packed with small-town charm, a fake marriage twist, and a cowboy hero you’ll fall head over boots for. Perfect for fans of The Bromance Book Club and The Simple Wild.
Grant Stockton is the devil incarnate. The cowboy turned casino-owning crime boss has been the bane of my existence for as long as I can remember—first as my older brother’s best friend, then as my guardian when my brother died at his side, and now as the rival bar owner and landlord running me into the red.
He might be the head of The Quiet Horsemen, the man everyone else in this town fears, but I’m not about to cede a single inch of ground to him.
If I have to lie, cheat, and steal to keep him from finding out my bar’s underwater—well, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
At least until he breaks into my apartment and discovers my secret. One that gives him all the leverage he needs to control my fate.
My only reprieve is that The Horsemen are in the middle of a war, one that’s been spilling blood for the better part of a decade, and his enemies are closing in on our small mountain town.
Which is why I’m taken off guard by the demand he makes in exchange for keeping my secret.
Apparently there are benefits to being at the mercy of the devil…
“Hex.” The way he says my name—steady, unflinching—hits me straight in the chest.
Like a quiet challenge.
Like he’s daring me to keep lying to him.
I look up, and for one stupid moment, I let myself feel it. The pull between us. The way the air thickens when we’re too close. The way his eyes are blue and unwavering. They make me feel seen and exposed all at once.
But then reality slams into me like a tidal wave.
Dane would never understand.
And Hudson? I don’t trust myself to let him in.
Not when the stakes feel this high.
“I can’t,” I whisper, stepping back. The space between us grows, but it doesn’t feel like enough. “I can’t do this.”
Hudson doesn’t move for a long second. He just watches me, his expression unreadable, and then he nods once.
“For now,” he says quietly, his voice carrying a weight I don’t want to unpack.
Then he turns and walks away, leaving me there.
Leaving me with the unshakable feeling that this isn’t over.
Because it isn’t.
Not even close. #avaharrison #hockeyromance #kindleunlimited #bookstagram #booktok #spicyromance @theauthor.agency

From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Break, a small-town, cowboy, heroine in danger romance, set in Bitterroot Valley!
Beckett
I’ve seen the gorgeous redhead with the big black dog that never leaves her side around town. She’s impossible to miss with that lush red hair and perfect green eyes.

I know she’s the one for me and I’ll do whatever it takes to make Skyla Gallagher mine. I can be a patient man and all I want in the world is to worship every bit of her, inside and out.
Skyla
I moved to the lovely town of Bitterroot Valley, Montana because I needed a safe place. I
left my life in New York as a prima ballerina after an injury that I never fully healed from, and to escape the obsession of a madman. I adore this new community, but I must admit that Beckett Blackwell is the very best part. I love his kindness, his patience, and his thoughtfulness. But most of all, I can’t get enough of the way he worships my body, and then does everything he can to pamper me afterwards. Beckett is a drug that I’ve become addicted to. But will my stalker find me in Montana, ruining everything we’ve started together, before we have had our chance at forever?
Kristen Proby is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over seventy published titles. She debuted in 2012, captivating fans with spicy contemporary romance about families and friends with plenty of swoony love. She also writes paranormal romance and suggests you keep the lights on while reading them.

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
“I’m here to see my fiancé. I believe you know Parker, Dad…”
That sentence seems innocent enough in the right setting.
But the woman’s father? Yeah, he happens to be my boss.
The first time I met Cashlynn O’Neil, she thought she was going to die before the plane we were on ever left the ground.
So I did what any gentleman would do—I comforted her, kept her distracted, and then later that night, she ended up back in my hotel room to thank me.
But then a year later she waltzed in the Carrington Cove Animal Hospital and told her father we were engaged.
And that would have been harmless, except the last time I was engaged it left me scarred beyond repair, vowing never to entertain the idea of love again.
I can’t fall for my boss’s daughter.
I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel either.
But is it possible that someday you learn that it’s not the wrong person that will make you question what you want in life, but it’s the right one?

A steamy Pro Football, Single Mom, Forbidden Doctor/Patient Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
I went to Vegas to celebrate my divorce, and the pro football star was there celebrating his new contract. I heard someone call his name, and I wasn’t about to miss my chance to get with the man my ex had idolized. I didn’t find out until long after a sizzling night filled with fingertips dragging along skin and breathless whispered pleas that it was a case of mistaken identity.
I never thought I’d see him again, but then he walks into my office. I’m working hard to rebuild myself as a financially independent single mother when my eyes lift to the VIP client my boss warned me about.
Anger courses through my veins, yet I can’t seem to tear my gaze from those smoky blue eyes.
But the sly look in his eyes from that night is replaced by brokenness after an injury that just took him out for the season, and now it’s my job to help rehabilitate him and get him ready for next season.
Quitting the quarterback seems nearly impossible, but if I don’t do it, I might just lose everything I’ve worked for.

🏈Review🏈 Cassie has come to Vegas with her two besties to celebrate her divorce. Even though they believe the best way to celebrate it is with a one night stand she has no intention of obliging until she meets Tanner. She never expects to see him again and she certainly never expected him to be her first client at the client where she has just started as a physiotherapist.
Tanner and his brother have recently joined the San Diego football team when he is injured in his first game. He now finds himself needing physiotherapy to prepare for surgery however he never expected to see the woman he hasn’t been able to forget in the clinic. Now they find themselves trying to balance a secret relationship as well as his recovery and that is only the beginning.
The interactions between Tanner and Cassie were fun and flirty and their chemistry is off the charts. It was also great to catch up with the Nash family and seeing the relationships grow between them. Tor Thom brings the swoon factor with Tanner while Kelsey Navarro Foster shows us the strength and resilience of Cassie.
