The Life We Left Behind by Piper Wylde is now live!
Trace Farrington was the love of my teenage life, until his family ran me out of town, heartbroken and pregnant. They told me he didn’t want me any more. When he never came to find me, I had no choice but to believe them.
Now my father has passed away, and I have to return to Willowbrook. The old farmhouse needs closing up and the funeral arrangements made. It’s the least I can do for the man who always supported me.
But returning to Willowbrook means facing the Farringtons and seeing Trace again.
I should be angry with him. I shouldn’t want anything to do with him, but when we meet, old feelings resurface and I’m lost. We aren’t teenagers anymore, and with age has come wisdom and maybe even forgiveness.
Trace wants a second chance, but I have no idea what I want anymore. I’m a mother now, and starting over isn’t just about me.
Emotions and tempers are running high. Can we put the past behind us, or are there larger things at play keeping us apart? Things set into motion all those years ago.

Piper Wylde is an author who writes small town, contemporary romance that will make you feel all the feels. She lives with her husband, son, two neurotic golden retrievers and a put-upon cat who rules the house. Piper is from England and living the dream of her own small town existence in the countryside.

💗Review💗 Even though she was only a teenager Delaney loved Trace with her whole heart. She was devastated when she thought he no longer wanted her or the baby she was expecting but she had no choice but to leave town and start over. A decade later her father’s death brings her back to her hometown where she realizes that nothing is as it appears.
Trace has never been able to forget his first love and he regrets the choices he made after she left. Now that she is back he wants a second chance not only with her but with the son he didn’t know about and this time he isn’t about to let anyone come between them.
Not only are Delaney and Trace compelling characters but their son Cade was a charmer. For different reasons the time that Delaney and Trace have spent apart has been difficult, but it also makes them realize how special the love they share truly is.
Once, I was the lead guitarist of the hit rock band, Midnight Sun. Then a tragic accident took everything from me. I can no longer play guitar, my wife left me, and the future I worked so hard for is slipping away.
All I am now is a grumpy, infamous, former rockstar.
So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m not in the market for a woman, especially not Jade Cantrell—who’s as beautiful and talented as she is sweet.
Then the media pounces on a story about the two of us, and suddenly we’re zipping off to a mountain retreat and writing an album together.
I can’t keep it strictly business—no matter how hard I try.
And the more I get to know her, the more I know I don’t have any hope of keeping her out of my heart.
One night will never be enough.
I’m going to keep her forever.
When the Game Breakers meet more than hearts will be broken… They’ll claim, protect, and…maybe just rock their women’s worlds.

One Vow. One Duty. One Secret.
Dr. Nate Dixon has dedicated his life to serving his country as a decorated Ranger Regiment surgeon. For him, love and duty have always been one and the same–until a devastating mission changes everything. When his best friend dies in his arms, Nate makes a promise that shakes his world: take care of the family left behind.
Mackenzie Gillman had dreams of escaping her small-town life and building something extraordinary. At twenty-eight, those dreams have been replaced with harsh realities. Widowed, raising two kids, and starting over in her hometown, she’s determined to rebuild her life from the ground up. Nursing school and her children are all that matter–until a brooding stranger with haunted eyes steps into her world and awakens desires she thought she’d buried forever.
Nate thought protecting Mackenzie would be simple. But as his covert mission turns complicated and his connection to her deepens, he’s walking a razor’s edge between duty and desire. A good soldier never abandons his mission, but a great surgeon knows when to cut ties. And when Mackenzie’s darkest moment arrives, Nate must choose between the mission he’s sworn to uphold and the woman he can’t let go.

A grumpy/sunshine, single dad/nanny, hockey romance by Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author, S.J. Sylvis.
I’ve been making rational decisions my entire life.
If someone is in need, I’m there. My Nana needs help with the bills? I’ll drop out of art school and secure a well-paying job. Someone needs the shirt off my back? They can have mine.
When the league’s most desirable bachelor and single dad needs a nanny that can look past his star power and won’t end up in his bed, I’m the perfect choice.
Except, Rhodes Volkova isn’t the easiest to get along with. He’s grumpy, blunt, and cynical from past women and their inability to do their job and nothing else. It doesn’t matter that he has a serious soft spot for his daughter and is irresistibly good-looking.
It doesn’t affect my ability to be the best nanny, and it surely won’t lure me into his bed like the rest.
Rhodes is skeptical of me, fearful I’ll turn out like the rest with dollar signs in my eyes or just wanting a fling with someone rich and famous. But what he doesn’t know is that I’m distrusting too. I’m done with men and have issues of my own. He doesn’t have to worry about me crossing a line.
No one said anything about skating the line, though.

S.J. Sylvis is an Amazon top 50 and USA Today bestselling author who is best known for her new adult romances. She currently resides in Arizona with her husband, two small kiddos, and pets! She is obsessed with coffee, becomes easily attached to fictional characters, and spends most of her evenings buried in a book!
💙Review💙 Rhodes’s world is centered around his hockey career and his daughter Elle. In the past he has had difficulties when it comes to nannies as they are more interested in him and what he can do for them than his daughter, so he does not want to repeat that mistake. He is not certain that Sunny will be different but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Sunny has a difficult past that she is not about to let define her. She wants the job, adores Elle and she is not looking for a relationship anymore than Rhodes is so keeping their relationship strictly professional shouldn’t be a problem, right?
I enjoyed every minute of this story. The chemistry and connection between them is undeniable and Sunny changes the dynamic of the home with her cheery attitude and Rhodes will do anything for those he cares about and that includes Sunny.
𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗟 𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 (𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 #𝟯) by Hannah Gray releases on March 6th!!! This is a slow burn, second chance, professional hockey romance. Check out this teaser!
BLURB: It’s true what they say, you really are wiser when you’re older, because I’ve hated my younger self for years. After leaving behind the girl that I spent my entire life loving from afar, younger me deserves the hate, though. But when her dad told me I was ruining her life, I let my own insecurities consume me and knew I had to set her free.
Now, I’m a defenseman for the New England Bay Sharks, living my dream. At least, that’s what everyone thinks. Inside, I’m haunted by past mistakes, wishing I had a clock to turn back time and right my wrongs.
Just as I lose hope that she’s ever coming back, she shows up in Portland, bruised and battered—claiming she was in a car accident. She isn’t the same strong-willed girl with the bright eyes she was before. No, replacing that girl is a woman in pain. A woman who’s scared. And a woman who really hates my guts.
Right away, I knew there was no car accident. No…those bruises were put on her perfect body by a monster. One that was supposed to care for and love her till the end of time. Worried for her safety, I craft a plan to keep her safe. One that includes her living in my house while pretending to be my girlfriend. After what I did to her all those years ago, I’ll do anything to earn her forgiveness.
I may have promised her that it’s all for show and that I have no motive for wanting to keep her so close, but the truth is…I never stopped wanting her, and that’s not about to change now.
How to complicate your rookie season in the NHL: fake date your former college rival and now teammate’s ex-girlfriend.
It’s a bad idea, and I know it, especially since Kendra Hart has had a hold over me since our freshman year of college. She has no idea how I feel, and I have zero control over my mouth when her life goes up in smoke and she needs a friend, along with a place to stay.
My coach, who also happens to be my stepdad, is warning me to stay away not only for the team’s sake but to spare me from getting hurt. I should probably listen to his advice. However, taking the simple route has never been my thing. And with every “fake” look, touch and kiss I give her, I think she might be starting to like me for more than just my British accent.
I’m starting to think this might be my best idea yet…
From Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin comes the first in a swoony fairytale retelling series packed with unapologetically romantic heroes, sassy heroines, and their fractured paths to a happily ever after.
The entirety of Olive Township is looking forward to the fast-approaching day when Daisy St. James will say ‘I do’ to the town golden boy.
There’s just one little catch.
Daisy isn’t in love. Her impending nuptials are transactional in nature, and that suits Daisy just fine. She learned the hard way a long time ago that true love does not exist, so what does it matter if her marriage is a farce?
But then a stranger named Peter sails into town, his forearm bearing a tattooed symbol of the Navy SEAL he used to be. And wound around that symbol, are daisies.
Daisy is ready to write it off as coincidence, but there’s no denying the way the enigmatic man feels familiar to her. His slow smile, his stormy eyes, the shape of his jaw. He makes her laugh, draws out her smiles, and even more dangerous, he challenges her previous thoughts about true love.
And then one day, he says three little words only someone from her past would know…someone named Penn.
Penn Bellamy returned to Olive Township with plans to sell his late mother’s estate, snag a locally famous Sammich, and be on his way. Under no circumstances was he to speak to his childhood best friend, Daisy. Or be her ear when she fled her engagement party. Or become her physical therapy client. Offering to help her with her home remodel? He wasn’t supposed to do that, either.
When Daisy learns Peter and Penn are the same person, and he discovers Daisy’s engagement is a pretense, all bets are off.
Penn will do whatever it takes to make Daisy his, even if it means telling her the truth about why he left once before.
After all, all is fair in the quest for true love.
* Penn is the first in a four-book contemporary romance series inspired by the film The Princess Bride. Expect swoon, sass, spice, and happily ever afters.

Jennifer Millikin is a bestselling author of fifteen contemporary romance and women’s fiction novels. She is the two-time recipient of the Readers Favorite Gold Star Award, and readers have called her work “emotionally riveting” and “unputdownable”.
Following a viral TikTok video with over fourteen million views, Jennifer’s third novel, Our Finest Hour, has been optioned for TV/Film. She lives in the Arizona desert with her husband, children, and Liberty, her Labrador retriever.
🌼Review🌼 Penn left his hometown years earlier and the only reason he has returned is to close the chapter on his previous life here so that he never has to return. His plans are about to take a U-turn when he sees his childhood friend and realizes that she deserves better than the life she is about to embark on. He wants to protect her even if she doesn’t recognize the man he has become from the boy she used to know.
Daisy will do anything for those she cares about which includes agreeing to a marriage with a man she does not really want. When she sees Penn, she is conflicted by the feelings she has for him and the way he makes her feel as her future has already been planned out.
You cannot help but love Daisy as she always puts the needs of everyone else and Penn is exactly who she needs as he shows her that she deserves to be happy as well. The banter between them is entertaining and the romance is enchanting as Penn and Daisy find the happiness and love they both deserve.

Releasing March 18, 2025
Never lie about having a boyfriend, and definitely don’t give them a name.
I honestly thought there was no harm last summer in naming Miles Asher as my boyfriend. I was convinced my friends from that part of my life would never meet him.
I mean, come on, I’m a travel influencer constantly moving from one beach to the next, and Miles is a small-town mechanic. He loves his family and friends, and he’s a nice guy. Or so they say. Miles has never cared for me.
But now I’m staying in his town of Lovers for the summer, and—surprise!—my vacation friends are too.
Luckily, after he tells me no twice, I persuade Miles to be my boyfriend.
Then I talk him into letting me rent the apartment next to his house.
Together, we convince the town that we are dating.
But … one touch leads to another, and then there’s a kiss, and it becomes very hard to resist a man who makes me want things I’ve never wanted before. Who looks at me as if I’m the only thing that matters.
Still, none of that changes the fact that when the summer is over, I’ll leave.
My life and my job are to travel. His isn’t.
Knowing how this ends was supposed to be the easy part.
My name is Jami Rogers and I write fun, fast, flirty romance with heat. I love love and want to share my passion for happily ever afters with the world. My favorite tropes to write are enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, roommates, and my best friend’s brother/sister. Writing a romantic comedy that makes you laugh out loud is what I aim for. Happy reading!
