I let her go once because she wasn’t mine. This time, I’ll die before I give her up…
I want her.
That smile… those curves.
But Ava doesn’t 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.
Before I was the president of the War Brothers Motorcycle Club, I was a sniper in the military who hunted down evil men like her husband. Now I avoid relationships because the wounds I have are more than skin deep.
But Ava’s different, and when I find her in the wrong bedroom—my bedroom—one night, what happens next changes everything.
I let her go once because she was married, but I won’t make the same mistake twice.
I’ll die before I let her dangerous husband, the jealous women in our club, or the enemy our club didn’t see coming lay a finger on her.
Alder Duke was my high school sweetheart turned husband, then he became a stranger who wanted his freedom. I gave it to him.
Fifteen years later, I’m a single mom who desperately needs a place to live. He’s a powerful CEO who needs a wife in order to get the house he grew up in, thanks to a trust his grandma left behind.
He makes a deal with me: get married to him—again—and live with him for a year. Once the house is in his name, we can divorce—again—and he’ll rent the place to me.
Just one year. No strings. No feelings. Simple.
But nothing about my ex-husband is simple. Gone is the man who wanted to stay out all night drinking with his buddies. This Alder cooks and cleans and unclogs sinks in gray sweatpants. He gets my stubborn daughter to like him. And with me? He looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world.
I can’t fall for his sweet daisy whispers. I know how it ends. This time we planned it. My life was already derailed by him once, and I barely came out intact. He’s had my heart forever, but he only gets one year.
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 things—an award-winning tattoo artist with celebrity clientele, the manager of the Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio Nashville location… 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, he’s in desperate need of summer help. Forget about having a personal life or dating—he’s just trying to survive.
Darcy Anderson is a handful of credits short of her degree and broke. The college fund her grandmother left her didn’t withstand the test of time or inflation.
When she sees an ad for a summer nannying job, it seems perfect—one 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 doesn’t want to give her the job. She’s hot, smart, and funny—a dangerous combination that feels disastrous—especially 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 torn—her 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.
I’m pretty in pink dipped in sunshine and sweet Southern smiles.
He’s blue collar wrapped up in a gruff summer storm with a scowl.
He also happens to be my ex-boyfriend’s 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 can’t 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 children’s school, I’m certain I won’t 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 skin… 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 doesn’t do relationships, and I’m not built for casual.
But I couldn’t 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?
Tilly Dayne is passionate about two things: saving the ocean and avoiding unnecessary drama. But when she signs up for a quirky radio contest—spooning in onesies with a stranger to raise money for charity—drama finds her in the form of Mike Cornhill, the annoyingly attractive skipper of the US Sailing Team.
What starts as a ridiculous publicity stunt turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and a chemistry neither of them expected. But just as their connection deepens, a devastating loss on the water and Tilly’s unexpected link to the winning team threatens to sink everything.
Mike’s walls are up, and Tilly’s caught in the crossfire. With both their hearts on the line, can they navigate past pride, fear, and misunderstandings—or will their happily-ever-after drift out of reach?

Dayton Calloway and I wouldn’t have gotten together if it weren’t for two pink lines.
After getting divorced, Francisca Dawson is attempting to find out who she is and how she wants her life to look. One thing she knows is that there isn’t room for a man in that equation.

Unable to deny their connection, she gets lost in the moment and gives into his dirty mouth and skilled hands.

Before you go, do you take a chance and risk it all, or do you just let go and possibly miss out on the most beautiful love you’ve ever known? That’s what Dayton and Francisca will have to figure out.

Tyler
I’m the captain of the Seattle Hawks, it’s my job to look out for the team, to protect them.
To rally my teammates above all else.
But what happens when that protection clouds over the woman I can’t stop thinking about… The woman that I watch from the corner cafe every morning as she enters the stadium…
The vision I dream about every night.
Cindy Carter
The coach’s daughter who works for the Hawks.
She’s off limits.
Out of my league.
And completely oblivious to my obsession.
Then, a conversation I overhear between her parents shocks me to my core.
Now I can’t forget what I heard.
I can’t go back.
It’s bringing out a protective side in me that I never knew I had.
Not until this moment did I think I’d give it all up for a woman I barely know.
But she brings me to my knees.
I know I have to keep my head in the game … And try to stop focusing on the one woman I can’t have… That is until my past comes back to haunt me.
The more I seem to try and escape it, the deeper I seem to fall.
Until I don’t know which way to turn anymore, and if I tell her the truth, will she run from me?
I thought scoring was all about the game, but it seems it’s more about my heart than I ever believed imaginable.
The only question is, will the tension overshadow everything we’ve worked so hard for?
And will our chance be lost forever?
SCORES OF THE HEART is book 3 in the Seattle Hockey series and can be read as a stand-alone. For mature readers.
🏒Review🏒 Tyler thought that nothing could complete with his love of hockey as the game has always been the top priority in his life. Once he meets Cindy that is about to shift and once he knows that she feels the same way he isn’t about to let anything stand in their way and that includes the fact that he is his coach’s daughter.
Cindy is not only cautious when it comes to her heart, but she always tries to do what is expected of her. Tyler is everything she didn’t think she wanted in a man, but his reputation doesn’t match the man that she is getting to know however there are many challenges to overcome, both personally and professionally.
The differences between Cindy and Tyler is what makes them perfect for each other. He gives her the strength to become the woman she is destined to be while she brings out the parts of Tyler that are both swoony and sweet.
A swoony he falls first, opposites attract, single mom romance from bestselling romance author, Stacey Lynn
Just when life leads me down a path I was unprepared for, here comes a curveball showing me what true love really is.
Lady Luck has never sent good fortune in my direction. With an absentee mother and an imprisoned father, I’m left alone more often than I can count. A pariah in my hometown, all I need to do is keep my head down and graduate from a nearby University.
That is until college hockey superstar Graham Marchese enters my life. Persistent, and handsome, he gives me hope and a taste of what life can be…
And then an unlikely and devastating surprise changes everything, and all the good things in my life come to a screeching halt. The dreams that were within my grasp are brutally ripped away.
When Graham suddenly reappears in my life years later coaching my son’s hockey camp, my world rocks all over again. I must prevent myself from falling in love all over again and not only protect my young son, but the last remaining secret that threatens everything I hold dear.
But Graham has always been bold and tenacious in his quest to win and protect my heart. There’s no way he’s backing down this time. Not when he’s finally found me again.

The author of over fifty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes & Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers.

💜Review💜 Holly has faced so much adversity in her life when it comes to those who should have been there for her, but she perseveres, and it has only made her stronger. Years earlier she fell in love with Graham however due to the actions of those around her she believes the best thing she can do is end their relationship. She never expected to see him again let alone that he would be coaching her son Jonah.

This is a heartwarming story about a love that was always meant to be that is filled with all the feels. Graham is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony as he shows Holly that she and Jonah can count on them and the wonderful life they are destined to have together.
I might be the most promising quarterback in college football today, but once I was just a boy desperately in love with the wrong girl, one I’d very much like to win back. She blocks me better than any player on the field, but to figure out my best play, first I need to understand how we got here.
We have been apart longer than we were together but we can’t seem to stop torturing each other. Every guy she touches or allows to touch her is like a knife right to my heart.
Not to be outdone, I play her game. No one will ever accuse me of giving less than everything. These are her rules after all, and I’ve always been competitive.
I thought her being my stepsister would keep us apart forever, but it’s the damage we did trying to resist each other that sealed our fate. And yet, despite the ways we’ve betrayed each other over and over, I can’t let her go.
What we have could almost be love if it didn’t hurt so much.
My heart, black and broken as it may be, will always belong to the girl with sad eyes. Are we damaged beyond repair, or do we dare try one more time?
Ravenous, an all-new grumpy + sunshine, cowboy, shifter romance from USA Today bestselling authors Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale is now available!
I didn’t move to Cooper Valley for love. I’m here to raise my daughter in peace, work at Wolf Ranch, and keep my wolf on a tight leash. Because I don’t have time for distractions. Or complications. And definitely not both in the form of a female.
Joy is my new next-door neighbor—sweet, sexy, and entirely off-limits. She always has a messy bun and a laugh that melts steel. She makes my little girl giggle like I’ve never seen before. She makes me burn with need.
She’s sunshine. I’m thunderclouds.
I tell myself I’m too gruff, too brooding, too busy being a father to want her. But my wolf doesn’t care about rules. He thinks she belongs to him. He knows she smells like fate… and tastes even better.
How can I stay away? In the end, it seems fate will decide for me.
“No way while I’m living next door are you putting yourself in danger like this.”
I should apologize for being an asshole. She probably could put the tarp over the hole on her own. Nail it down. But she could fall and not heal like a shifter. Except she didn’t know that was why I was so fucking adamant.
“Oh yeah?” There was a challenge in her voice.
I was fucking this thing up. I opened my mouth in hopes the right words would come out, but then I caught sight of the outline of Joy’s nipples.
She wasn’t wearing a bra under that barely-there top and it was clear her nipples had stiffened into points.
At what? The sight of me?
Or was it my bossiness that turned her on?
She’d called me bossy this morning, but the look she’d given me made me think she liked me in charge.
Everything I’d said since I got out of the car was me being bossy and in charge.
Fuck, yeah, honey.
I’ll be the boss of you. I’ll boss you all the way to my bed.
“Yeah,” I countered, then added, “Bad girl,” to test it out. To test her.
She squatted down to sit on the edge of the roof, and kicked her feet like a kid.
She was in flip-flops. Flip flops! On a fucking roof! Cute, but not functional.
“You gonna spank me?”
