🔥damaged hero
🔥ADHD rep
🔥he has a cat

She’s the one night stand I never forgot.
And now her dad is about to marry my mom.

It has to be some kind of cosmic joke, right? For once, I feel like I’ve got my life together—good job, great friends, a fresh start in a new place. I’ve been on my best behavior for ages. At last, everything’s coming up Javier.

Until the moment I walk into my stepdad’s house and meet his daughter.

I should say: I meet her again. Madeline and I have already met. It was one night, two years ago. A quick, casual hookup that had no right to be as mind-blowing as it was. I haven’t stopped thinking about it–or her–ever since.

But our parents are getting married, so under no circumstances should we sleep together again.

Or… again. Or one more time after that, just to get it out of our systems.

Madeline’s funny, fiery, and so gorgeous with her pink hair and nerdy tattoos that I can barely look at her without breaking into a sweat. But she has too much going on to be interested in commitment, and God knows I’m a bad boyfriend candidate.

Once the wedding’s over, we’ll be normal stepsiblings who don’t have sex with each other, and Thanksgiving won’t be awkward at all.

Right?

What you will find inside…

💗Small Town

🔥Fake Relationship 

💗Friends to Lovers

🔥Forced Marriage

💗Reverse Age Gap

🔥He Falls First

💗Online Gamer MMC Cinnamon Roll Hero 

🔥Beauty & the hot Geek

I’ve never had to fake anything in my life 

Especially my feelings

But when push comes to shove, I’ve gotta help a girl out

But not just any girl

Autumn Davenport

She needs a husband, and I need to get my family off my back

It seems like a win-win situation…

We’re friends

We like each other

But we’ve never been this close

Husband and wife 

Now I’m questioning what I signed up for

Autumn is smart, funny and beautiful

She has the world at her feet, and she could get any man she wanted

Except the man her family have lined up for her isn’t who she wants

So I offer to be her husband

We’re both off the hook… Even if it is temporarily 

Clearly I didn’t think this through 

It didn’t occur to me exactly how close we’d have to get

Living together proves to be a strain on everything; especially my libido 

And when I really get to the heart of the girl I’ve known for years…

I fall hard

Even though that isn’t part of the plan… My heart doesn’t care about any of that

It wants what it wants

The only trouble is, she’s not only my best friend… She’s also older and a little bossy… Something I didn’t know I was into until I married her

Now I want to keep her

My wife

The woman who captured my heart without me even realizing

And when our deal is up… Can I summon the courage to tell her how I feel?

Or will I lose her forever? 

The Bassett Brothers Bourbon Distillery; Stoney Creek’s very own pride and joy, and the heart and soul of a small town Tennessee family business.

Fall in love with Stoney Creek…

He nudged my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. His thumb gently stroked my jawline. Flames leaped inside me even as my natural preservation instincts screamed at the danger he posed.
–
“Who hurt you, Willow?” Lincoln asked with so much tenderness it brought a sudden rush of tears to my eyes. I didn’t cry. Not anymore. And yet, the gentleness of his words made it hard to fight them off as he continued, “Who left the wounds you so bravely hide?”
–
I blinked rapidly. Desperate to hold back the onslaught. My world spun, and I barely caught my balance.
–
“Lincoln…” I shook my head, trying to remove his hand, but his fingers tightened, refusing to let go.
–
“Don’t. Don’t tell me to leave or that I have no right to know. Just tell me the d*mn truth.”

IT’S JUST BUSINESS

Willow Winters & Lauren Landish

Release Date: September 20

They don’t go to the brick wall.  No one in the village does.  Ever since I was a little girl, everyone has warned me not to go or even to look at it.  And if you happen to find yourself close to the wall, run as fast and as far away as you can.  The magic from the beast creeps beyond the wall, but not by much.

No one who values their life approaches the enchanted area, let alone searches out the gate.  Everyone is sure not to provoke the enchanted area.  Those who do, don’t come back to tell their tales.

The magic is dark.  And it’s all from the beast.

FOR THE LAST 19 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I’ve heard the tales and been warned to stay away.  The thing is though, I’m not a very good listener.  I got lost in the magic.  He scented me.  He claimed me with a bite on my neck.  And I ran.  Quickly and with a new terror racing in my heart.

I swore I would never return.  I would not trust the magic and allow it to entrance me again.  I would not risk being caught in the hands of the Beast again.  

But that was months ago and I miss the magic.  Not only that, but I dream of the beast.  It’s not a dream I’d admit to out loud, but it’s a dream I’d like to see come true.

Meet Willow Winters:

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?

I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.

And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing.  I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

Genre: Standalone, Cowboy Biker Romance

Author: Esther E. Schmidt

Cover Design: Esther E. Schmidt

Release Day: August 20, 2024

Lives cross and gazes collide, causing an intense and delicious rush to overtake your mind and body. The extraordinary, one-of-a-kind connection which others may refer to as “love at first sight” will kick off the ride of your life to set a path for the future.

Kathleen – No one needs to tell me how to do my job, certainly not a Cowboy Bikers MC Lawmen who comes into my town. We go head-to-head at every turn unless we’re discussing case files because we’re both dedicated to solving these murders.

Marvin – Meeting a woman who is fierce, sassy, and is the sheriff of the small town awakens a primal instinct to claim, along with a protective streak flaring inside of me. A serial killer returning to town forces us to work closely together, especially when her life is at stake, along with our hopes and dreams.

The Crime of Intensity is a standalone novella in the second-generation Cowboy Bikers MC series. Each story features a new couple and can be read together or separately.

 

Blurb:

When you have everything, there’s nothing more dangerous than a secret.

I’ve got it all: a promising football career, a penthouse apartment, and the world at my feet. But behind my public persona, I’m burdened by my mother’s terminal illness and the manipulative demands of my politician father. My life takes an unexpected turn when I discover Gia Mason hiding on my boat, a mysterious woman on the run with secrets as dark as my own.

Gia is desperate to escape her past and find safety, but the last place she expects to land is in the arms of a football star. When I offer her a deal—pretend to be my girlfriend to fulfill my mother’s dying wish—she reluctantly agrees, seeing it as her only way out. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly ignites into a passionate and tumultuous relationship, forcing us to confront our deepest fears and desires.

As our worlds collide, we navigate the treacherous waters of love, trust, and betrayal. With my career and family legacy on the line, and Gia’s past threatening to destroy everything we’ve built together, we must decide if our love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles in our way.

Can we find a way to build a future together, or will the secrets and lies of our past tear us apart?

Perfect for fans of sports romance, fake relationships, and second chances, Quarterback Keeper is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will keep you rooting for Kylian and Gia until the very last page.

Falling Like Stars by Emma Scott is now live!

From USA Today and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Full Tilt comes an emotional romance…

She kept her heart guarded and locked away…until she gave it to the world’s biggest movie star.

In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes. As he navigates fame and tries to extricate himself from his celebrity ex-fiancée, he discovers an unexpected spark with Rowan Walsh, a production assistant on his latest project.

Rowan, haunted by a devastating moment in her past, shields her heart behind walls of guilt, letting no one in. But Zachary’s genuine affection and desire for a meaningful life begin to chip away at her defenses. As their connection deepens, Rowan must battle the self-destructive patterns that have held her back from embracing her passions and finding true love, while Zachary must reveal his own hidden scars–wounds he’s borne in silence for years–if he hopes to heal.

Can Zachary and Rowan confront their pasts to build a future together, or will the storms of scandal, tangled relationships, and the scrutiny of stardom ruin their hopes for a perfect Hollywood ending?

💙Review💙

When it comes to his career as an actor Zachary’s life is successful however when it comes to his personal life it has been challenging. He has recently ended a relationship for the final time with a woman who was more interested in the celebrity than the man. When he meets Rowan, he is drawn to her however his life is complicated.

Rowan has a devastating past that not only changed her but continues to weigh on her daily. As a result, she is not living but merely surviving however Zach is a surprise she did not see coming and the first person to make her feel in a long time.

Even though the reasons are very different both Rowan and Zach carry the emotional scars of the past. They both have a lot of healing to do both when it comes to them as individuals and what it means as a couple. They take us on an emotional rollercoaster as they fight for the happiness they both deserve.

I Wish We Had Forever by Jessica Peterson is now available for pre-0rder in audio!

Narrated by: Charlotte North & Austin Stone

Releasing: August 27, 2024

A scorching hot, brother’s-best-friend, bad-boy/good-girl, fake-marriage standalone romance in the small-town Harbour Village series!

I’ve been pining for Abel Miller since we were teenagers. He’s sexy as hell and has always played a starring role in all my fantasies. Too bad he only sees me as his best friend’s little sister.

He’s also a broody playboy who takes home a new girl every night, while I’m looking to find forever with someone. Abel and I couldn’t be more different.

When my dad gets sick and says he just wants to see me safe, settled, and happily in love, Abel shocks me by offering to pretend to be my husband.

Now, I’m living with the man of my dreams in his luxe bachelor pad as his fake wife. Plot twist: it only has one bed. Which isn’t a problem, until he accidentally walks in on me naked and I wind up bent over the couch with him on his knees between my legs.

Turns out my feelings weren’t so one-sided after all. But Abel swears he’s too much of a bad boy for the type of relationship I’m looking for, and warns me not to fall in love with him.

Can I convince him he’s always been the one for me? Or am I just headed for heartbreak by wishing we had forever?

I Wish We Had Forever is book three in the Harbour Village series of interconnected standalones.

THE FATES WE TAME

S. Cole

Release Date: August 15

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Getting devastatingly injured while saving the life of a brother in the Iron Outlaws Motorcycle Club was a trade-off I’d make again in a heartbeat.

Recovery is hard.

Learning to live with the permanent damage is harder.

I’m a changed man who can’t remember the last decade of their life.

Life is uncertain and holds little joy.

Until I meet a bundle of sunshine in rehab who has no memories at all.

Seeing her every day makes life better.

But then I overhear her brothers plotting something terrible, so awful, that it requires me to become the feared biker I once was to help her.

I believe in fate. That the two of us meeting like this was no accident.

Now, I need to believe in myself to get the two of us through this alive.

Meet S. Cole:

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.

Will they be able to resist each other?
Or does fate have other plans?

The Substitute, a Single in Seattle novella from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby & 1001 Dark Nights is now live!

Derek Langley can’t keep an assistant to save his life. He’s grumpy, demanding, and sometimes mean, which mirrors his reputation in court. Derek doesn’t have time to coddle an employee, so when the temp agency informs him their next placement will be the last, he knows he’s doomed.

Maya Sterling is excited to move to Seattle. She wants to be closer to her siblings and her new friends, and a position with a temp agency fits the bill for her new life in the city. She doesn’t plan on walking in and finding a sexy British grouch for a boss, but his gruff nature doesn’t really bother her. In fact, she’s attracted to his rough-around-the-edges nature.

They quickly realize the attraction is mutual and steam up the office. But Maya’s position with Derek is temporary, and she knows she must maintain a professional distance to preserve her sanity.

Will they be able to resist each other? Or does fate have other plans?

Keep reading for a look inside The Substitute!

“So, why does Gray think your boss is a jerk?” Liv asks me as we walk into the department store.
“I don’t think he’s a jerk, but I’ve only known him for a week.”
Sidney scowls at me. “Why would Gray think that, then?”
“I guess Derek has a reputation for being hard to work for.” I shrug and hold up a navy-blue dress, but Stella takes it out of my hands and puts it back on the rack.
“That’s for someone in their sixties,” she informs me, shaking her head.
“Thanks. Anyway, I admit Derek can be abrupt and short, but he doesn’t bother me. At least not so far.”
I glance over at Liv, who’s watching me.
“What?”
“I’m telling you, you like him,” she says, narrowing her eyes.
“Look—”
“He doesn’t just not bother you. You’re hot for him.”
“Is he attractive?” Sidney asks, reaching for her phone. “Hell, I’ll google him. What’s his name?”
“Derek Langley,” I reply and bite my lip. This is fun. And a little nerve-racking. “He’s British. So, he does have a sexy accent.”
“Oh,” Sid says, turning the phone so the others can see. “Yeah, he’s fucking attractive.”
“Hot,” Stella agrees. “Dang, Maya, you should go for it. Wait, is he married?”
“He doesn’t wear a ring.” I consider that, tapping my finger on my chin. “Of course, not everyone does. I don’t think he’s married.”
“I can’t find any evidence of a wife,” Sidney says, tapping on her phone some more. “Unless it’s recent.”
“He’s my boss,” I reply, shaking my head. “Sure, there’s some chemistry there, but I work for him. I don’t think that’s ethical.”
I’ve caught him looking at my lips several times, and when we stand close together, he shoves his hands in his pockets as if he’s restraining himself to keep from touching me.
But maybe that’s all just in my head.
“You said yourself it’s only a thirty-day assignment,” Liv says, waving me off. “I say take those thirty days and have fun with them.”
“We’re going straight to the lingerie department,” Stella decides.
“You guys.” I laugh but don’t stop them from pulling me to the intimates section, where they choose lots of lacy, silky, beautiful things for me to try. “What if I’m being silly, and he wants no part in anything sexy with me?”
“Number one, he’d be stupid,” Sid says. “And number two, if he’s not interested, someone else will be.”
“You have a point. Okay, let’s do this.”

🌸Review🌸

Maya isn’t certain what the future holds so in the interim she has moved to Seattle where she is surrounded by friends and family. She is working as a temp when she is assigned to work for Derek whose reputation for being a difficult boss precedes him.

Derek holds everyone in his life at a distance and is demanding and abrupt when it comes to staff who he doesn’t believe are performing their job properly. He doesn’t react well when they cross the line from personal to professional and now he has some amends to make.

There is no denying the chemistry between them, and she doesn’t hesitate to stand up to him when required. It was wonderful to see where their lives where seven years in the future

“Nick! Get off your ass and help me.”
I struggled to my knees and grabbed Hugo just as he fell when Patrick released the carabiner.
“Yeah, it’s me that’s not pulling his weight.”
“Complain about it later. We have work to do.”
I hauled him over to the rolling luggage and stuffed him inside, hoping I wasn’t squishing him too badly. Not that I cared all that much. He was a bad guy. I was just zipping it closed when I heard a thunk behind me and spun around.
A figure dressed in all black had taken out Patrick from behind. I pulled my gun, but it was kicked out of my hand. The figure spun in this wild maneuver before a foot connected with my chest. I stumbled back, tripping over the luggage and falling to the ground. I jumped to my feet, tackling the guy just as he was reaching into the luggage. I tackled him from behind, but was surprised when I felt breasts.
“You’re a woman?”
She heaved, kicking me off her, using my surprise against me. I stumbled over Patrick just as he was getting to his feet. The woman pulled out a gun, firing at me just as I dove, taking Patrick with me. The bullet skimmed my arm, taking a small piece of skin with it. I hissed, rolling off Patrick as I jumped to my feet and ran hard at the woman, yanking the mask from her face.
Green eyes stared back at me, tempting me with intrigue and deception. I was so focused on those beautiful orbs that I forgot for just a second that I was supposed to be stopping her. She kneed me in the balls, making me gasp, bending over in shock.
“You didn’t have to do that,” I wheezed.
“You were stopping me.”
“Ever heard of asking politely?” I cringed.
She bent over, placing her lips right next to my ear just as I heard the snap of metal around my wrist. “Please, stay here.” Then she licked the shell of my ear and was gone. I stood but realized all too late that she’d locked me to a metal pipe attached to the wall. I jerked my hand as she opened the luggage and rifled through the man’s suit.
After pulling out what looked like a business card, she straightened the man’s shirt, then fixed his tie, spending an inordinate amount of time making sure it was perfectly straight. Then she pulled his suit jacket closed and buttoned it up.
With a grin, she looked back at me, winking as she turned and ran for the rooftop access. Her dark ponytail swung behind her as she disappeared through the door.
“What the hell is going on up there?” Chase shouted.
I glanced over at Patrick laying on his back. “Man down.”
