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.

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?”

It’s been ten years since I was forced to let Zara go. I joined the military and fought hard to forget her, but since I returned home to become our club’s Sergeant at Arms, I’ve always watched from afar to make sure she’s safe.
Now Zara is back in Crown Village on the anniversary of a traumatic event that changed her family forever. And I can’t stay away.
I can see the longing for me in her eyes, yet she hesitates to get too close. She’s scared to trust me again, and I don’t blame her.
When new information linked to her family tragedy comes to light, I’m determined to help solve the mystery and find the answers she needs because the War Brothers MC protects our own.

A reclusive former celebrity, a recovering good girl, and small town trouble…
It started as a joke. After a string of bad boyfriends, I made up a fake boyfriend so people would quit asking when I was going to meet a grumpy lumberjack trying to save his mama’s inn in my adopted hometown.
When my grandma demanded proof from afar, I sent her a picture of me and my “boyfriend.”
Spoiler alert: He wasn’t really my boyfriend.
He was actually a reclusive former boy band member who swings through town sometimes and is friends with my friends.
As much as a reclusive former boy bander can be friends with anyone, that is.
He doesn’t know I told anyone he’s my boyfriend. Or that his name is Steve.
So when Grandma sends the guy she’d rather me marry to town to make sure “Steve” is good enough for me—and to talk me into marrying him instead—I have something of a problem.
But I got myself into this mess, so I’ll get myself out.
By proposing.
Relax, relax, I’m proposing a fake wedding.
And when he turns me down, I can say we broke up.
Except he doesn’t turn me down.
Instead, he offers me a trade.
He’ll pretend to be my groom, but I have to do something for him in return.
And that something?
Hoooo, boy.
I liked the man better when he was my pretend boyfriend Steve.
The Pretend Fiancé Fiasco is an action-packed romcom featuring the reclusive final member of the boy band Bro Code, a recovering good girl with too many men interested in her for all the wrong reasons, a treasure hunt, a fake engagement, and the best surprise to hit the Copper Valley universe since the Fireballs’ new mascot was revealed. This small town romcom stands alone, but you wouldn’t go wrong to read both the Copper Valley Bro Code and Copper Valley Fireballs series, along with Dirty Talking Rival, to catch all of the easter eggs.

Flynn’s perfect smile is plastered all over town, selling their books, like some kind of traitorous golden boy—while he’s over here giving me his best game.
Pass. I’ve had enough heartbreak for two lifetimes.
But then he looks at me, and I forget how to breathe.
Not to mention, he’s so good with my little girl, it’s downright unfair.

Rebecca Jenshak is a USA Today bestselling author of new adult and sports romance. She writes sexy, feel-good stories with lots of swoon-worthy moments.
Rebecca lives in Arizona. When she isn’t writing, you can find her cheering on local sports teams, hanging out with friends and family, or curled up with a good book.
⚾️Review⚾️ I have been waiting for Flynn’s story, and it doesn’t disappoint as he proves to be just as swoony as his brothers. He has dreams of playing baseball professionally, but that journey hasn’t been without its setbacks. The opportunity to be part of the Mustangs was what brought him to town but when he realizes that Olivia, the woman he had a chance and unforgettable encounter with, is also there it only reinforces how right the decision was.
Olivia is content with her life between her business and her daughter Greer and is cautious about letting Flynn into her life not only to protect her heart but her daughter’s as well. She doesn’t believe that he would be interested in her long term even if everything he does and says for her, and Greer seems to prove differently.
Flynn and Olivia’s story had the perfect mix of humor, heat and heart. The romance is endearing and the family relationships they have only make this heartwarming story even better.
I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.
I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.
Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.
We shared more than a moment.
Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.
No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.
Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.
I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.
I used to believe in happily ever afters, until the man my mother married stripped away my innocence, piece by piece.
For years, he kept me completely isolated, locked away and out of sight. If not for my diary, I’m not sure I would have survived his torment.
But when two pink lines turn my world upside down, I know it’s now or never—I have to escape before the monster down the hall learns my secret and destroys my only reason for living.
Alone and on the run, help comes from the last place I’d ever expect—his son.
Atlas swears he’s nothing like his father. He says he only wants to protect me and my unborn baby.
Slowly but surely, he earns my trust and begins stitching me back together again, and before I know it, I find myself falling for him.
But no matter how much he feels like home, I can’t shake the fear of what will happen if his father finds me. Because no amount of paper and ink will shield me from the past… or him.
HIS TO SAVE is the first standalone in the all new Lake Fortune series. If you enjoy small-town suspense, an over the top protective hero who will do anything for his woman, a pregnant heroine running from her dangerous past, a slight age gap, a slow burn romance brimming with all of the feels, and a guaranteed HEA, pre-order your copy today!
