Finnian โApolloโ Reins met Dru Noel Rossi at his lowest.
She was a bright ray of sunshine in his darkest, cloudiest night.
He had no clue that he needed her. He was just struggling to keep his head above water, going from day to day, waiting for it to be his time to go.
But then she catches his eye in the swankiest restaurant in Washington DC. Sheโs wearing all black and sticks out like a sore thumb among the elitistsโ otherwise dressiest affairs. She may have been severely underdressed, but that didnโt stop Finnian from following her every move and becoming obsessed.
So of course, when she leaves, he follows her. And wouldnโt you know it, she goes right back to his hometown.
But thatโs not the first coincidence between the otherwise complete opposites. Itโs just a long line of chance encounters that force them together, time and time again, and show them what theyโre missing.
Sheโs the sweetest thing heโs ever met, and understandably, is hesitant to get anywhere near a Truth Teller like him.
The Truth Tellers MC got their hard, terrifying reputations for a reason.
But Finnian wears her down with his charm, while showing her what itโs like to be with someone that wonโt hesitate to take out the entire world as long as it makes her smile.
He has to have her in his life, and heโll do just about anything to make that happen. A little light stalking, financial blackmail and forced proximity never hurt anybody.
Apollo has a devastating past which he is still trying to make peace with.ย ย As a result, he has distanced himself from everyone including the Truth Tellers MC but when he sees Dru she inspires feelings in him that he canโt deny.ย ย ย A harrowing experience and some forced proximity bring them closer however the turmoil they must overcome is only beginning when they return home.
Dru has always tried to be there for her family which is how she finds herself on the plane where she meets Apollo.ย ย When they return to their normal lives she believes that they will go their separate ways however he isnโt about to let her walk out of his life and everything he learns about her only has him more determined to protect her.
After everything Apollo has been through I was glad to see him get a second chance at happiness and Dru is exactly who he needs.ย ย ย They are so supportive of each other as life continues to throw them curveballs which only makes their love stronger.

From USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov comes a story about found family and the power of acceptance, all wrapped up in a sizzling romance set in the frozen north.
My new landlordโs a real hard-ass. And I canโt keep my hands off him.
Charlie Huxleyโs the bestโand grumpiestโgeneral contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding-planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.
Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.
Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. Iโve got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.
But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.
Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries. Question is: Am I strong enough?

๐ฉตReview๐ฉต The renovations that Violet was undertaking on her house arenโt going as well as she would like and that is only about to escalate when she finds herself homeless and staying on Charlieโs, her cantankerous contractorโs property. The one bright spot is his adorable daughter Harper who allows her to see the caring father he is.
Charlie has decided that the only woman he needs in his life is his daughter. Now he not only finds himself dealing with a woman he views as a difficult client, but she is living on his property as well. It was easier to deny his attraction for her when it didnโt seem like she was meant to be in his and his daughterโs life.
The banter is humorous, the romance is enchanting, and I enjoyed every page of seeing not only the relationship between Violet and Charlie unfold but the special relationship she shared with Harper as well as they become the family they were destined to be.
Jules Westwood lives her days surrounded by the sweetest treats. But thereโs no cookie, cake, or muffin that comes close to giving her the same joy she feels when she sees him.
The man whoโs a bit rough around the edges with his laidback attitude and carefree lifestyle is exactly what she wants. Because despite what her family believes, Jules is a bit of a rebel.
Beau Easton didnโt know who Jules was when he first approached her, merely believing a date with her would be much more satisfying than the cookies he bought from her bakery. And when he learns sheโs a Westwood, the equivalent of royalty in Landing, he wonders if he should take a step back.
But Beau gets a taste of Jules, getting something far sweeter than he ever expected. There isnโt a chance heโll ever give her up.
Unfortunately, their secret relationship is uncovered, and her family is shocked. But the Westwoods are going to have to come to terms with the coupleโs new relationship, because whether they like it or not, Beauโs going to be part of their family forever.
Beau is happy with his carefree lifestyle that allows him to live as he wants with no commitments to consider. When he meets Jules he believes that she will be no different than the other woman he has known however he soon realizes he couldnโt be more wrong. Now he finds himself fighting to ensure that she doesnโt have to choose between him and her family.
Jules is very close to her family and as supported them as her siblings found the person they were destined to be with. There is nothing she wants more than love and a relationship, but she never expected that after convincing Beau that they belong together but that she would have to convince her family as well.
I enjoyed the evolution Beau as he opened his heart to love and would do anything for Jules. He is determined to protect her and isnโt about to be hurt by anyone and that includes those she loves.
A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over seventy published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andreaโs favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, canโt get enough of extreme sports.ย
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husbandโs performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isnโt writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
I thought Iโd be miserable planning my exโs wedding, but a rugged cowboy turned distiller knows just how to relieve the pressure.
After fleeing back home to Huckleberry Springs, Montana, I become the new event planner for my familyโs guest ranch. But the first event to plan is my cousinโs wedding to my cheating ex. If I donโt, my uncle wonโt sign over his share of the ranch and forever mettle in our lives. So I take one for the team.
One night when I buckle under the stress, I also get a littleโa lotโdrunk. Saving me from myself is one of the cowboys that used to work for my dad. Durban Hennessy is now part owner in the local distillery, and he doesnโt do drama, distractions, or hot messes that just threw up on his boots. Still, he brings me to his place so I can sober up in private.
Durbanโs providing wet bar service throughout the wedding festivities. The distiller with a superiority complex and I cross paths too often, but when he finds me in a store room, spiraling during the groomโs family dinner, he relieves the pressure in the hottest way possible.
So we strike a bargain. Heโll help me relax in the steamiest way possible, and he can repair his ego after getting dumped by his long distance relationship. When impromptu hookups turn into sleepovers that include intimate pillow talk, I know Iโm in trouble. Because our whiskey bargain ends when the wedding does.
Things heat up on and off the track when the first female driver in Formula International history goes head-to-head with one of the sportโs biggest names. Formula Dreams is a high-speed enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.
Francesca Accardi is rewriting the record books at Titans Racing. With the first female team owner in her corner and the weight of history on her shoulders, she knows the only way to silence doubters is to win. Every lap. Every race.
Ronan Barnes dominates on Sunday and dares the world to judge him on Monday. Arrogant, electric, relentless, he has no time for nicetiesโor for the rookie who refuses to yield. Forced together for press tours and charity laps, their sniping becomes a spark neither can shake. But rival teams donโt tolerate distractions, sponsors spook fast, and one misstep could cost Francesca her seat and Ronan his shot at the championship.
When Ronanโs private lifeโand his motherโs addictionโbecome an issue he can no longer avoid, Francesca is there as his emotional support. Compassion cracks his armor. He defends her in the paddock; she stands beside him when it matters. Enemies become allies. Allies become something no rule book can define.
With a title on the line, they must choose: her hard-won seat, his crown, or a future togetherโif they dare cross the line.

I donโt give a damn what people say about me. Iโm successful and confidentโone of San Diegoโs youngest CEOs. But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, Iโve got a problem.
One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous.
Then I spot the perfect opportunity.
At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her exโwho casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot.
She looks like she needs rescuing. So I sit at their table and kiss her like Iโve done it a million times. After the jerk bails, I make her a deal: be my fake date for one business dinner.
Phoebe agrees.
It shouldโve been simple, but the dinner turns into a weekend at a beach house. One bedroom. Too much wine. One unforgettable night.
The next morning, she tries to pretend it didnโt happen.
Phoebe is nothing like the women I usually date. Sheโs hardworking, has a sharp sense of humor, and sheโs the most selfless person Iโve met. Thatโs why I want more.
I just have to prove that thereโs more to me than she thinks. Iโm close to my family. I spoil my nephew. Iโm ready to change.
Phoebe is still hurting and wants to play it safe. But I wonโt give up. Because this fake relationship is starting to feel very real.
Then I found a stowaway in my vanโa too-young, too-tempting mechanic whoโs supposed to be fixing engines, not wrecking my focus. Juliette Winslow is everything good and sweet wrapped in grease-stained overalls, and sheโs got no idea the guy sheโs been flirting with on a dating app is me.
Now weโre stuck together on a road trip, sharing bad coffee, cramped motel rooms, and way too much tension. Iโm old enough to know better. But when she smiles at me like that? Better goes straight out the window.
Juliette
Maybe sneaking into Cruz Romeroโs van wasnโt my best idea.
But if I waited around for permission, Iโd never live a littleโor find love. I thought my crush was a blip, but the stoic ex-Ranger with a decade and change on meโmakes me forget every reason he should be off-limits. Heโs the kind of man who fixes whatโs broken. The kind of man I could fall forโhard.
But Cruz has secrets, and one of them might just break my heart. Because somewhere between pit stops and puppy rescues, Iโm realizing the man behind the screen might be sitting right next to me.
After his military career ended Cruz settled in Saddle Creek and works at the dog rescue center. This job has him spending time at the auto shop to ensure that his vehicle is prepared for the trips he needs to make. He has had feelings for Juliette, who works there, for a while but he refuses to give in to them because of the age gap between them.
Juliette works with her brother at the auto shop and has feelings for Cruz but doesnโt believe he will return them. As a result, she has joined a dating app and has been flirting with one of the members so when she has a chance to meet him she stows away on Cruzโs road trip however her being there isnโt the only surprise that is about to revealed.
The flirting and text messages between Juliette and Cruz were heartwarming and once they finally acknowledged their feelings for each other they would do anything to protect each other and arenโt about to let anyone come between them.

No matter what, Iโm going to find a way to make sure this arrangement isnโt merely temporaryโI just need to make sure I donโt lose my head or my heart in the process.
‘Tis the seasonโฆ for deliciously bad decisions. Last Christmas, I made a rookie mistake. I had a one-night stand with the Denver Kodiaksโ new golden boy.
It was hot, reckless, and a play Iโll never make again. At least, thatโs what I tell myself.
Because forgetting isnโt so easy when I work at the teamโs bar. When I see him twice a week, grinning, flirting, acting like he doesnโt remember.
Now, everyoneโs favorite rookie is hosting a team holiday getaway, and guess whoโs stuck on the invite list? Me. Their favorite bartender.
