https://mybook.to/allforyousbf Why you will love this book… 🔥Childhood rivals-to-lovers 🔥Jilted Groom 🔥Sports/Baseball 🔥Fake Dating 🔥Virgin Heroine 🔥He Falls First 🔥Small Town
Taking over the family farm in our small town was the only future I knew. But the never ending work left me with no social life and my virginity intact. Until my childhood rival graced us with his presence and was convinced he could help me with my…problem.
Owen Ramsey was an elite professional baseball player that left Ashfield without a backward glance. But when he was left at the altar, he sought refuge back in our town. I hated how he could simultaneously make my heart race and my hands fist. And I really despised how good he looked in a pair of baseball pants.
He needed my help just as much as I needed his. If I agreed to fake date him, he would help me snag the man I had my eye on and I would help convince his ex that he wasn’t heartbroken.
But with his return to baseball looming, we realized maybe the hate we felt was really something more like love.
The fear of disappointing my family was too great, even though I craved something different for the first time ever. Owen was used to hitting balls out of the park, but I wasn’t sure I was meant to be his home run.
⚾️𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐋 ⚾️ FromL.B. Dunbar comes an all-new small-town romance with a big family and the silver fox swoon one expects from her love over-40 romances. STERLING STREAK will be released on June 6, 2024. We are thrilled to share a teaser with you!
Love was a losing battle for this country music darling and a single dad, baseball star until one night brings them together and one small town sets the field for a possible winning streak.
They call me Lady Boss. Maneater. Queen. But beneath the makeup, blond wig, and glitzy costumes, I’m just a country girl who likes to sing. I don’t hate men, I’m just struggling to find a good one. I’ve learned my lesson. Fool me once, and it will never, ever happen again.
So I’m baffled when I meet Ford Sylver.
A superstar in his own right as centerfielder for the Chicago Anchors baseball team, plus a single dad to three adorable little girls, we share a moment when I save his firm backside and pretend he’s mine. Something that he can never be.
Only, when he suffers a season-changing injury and I need a place to disappear, we both end up back in Sterling Falls, where I’m suddenly and unwittingly his nanny.
There’s danger in having a wild side. I’ll try anything once. However, forced into close quarters with Ford, acting as his personal nurse, and caring for his three little ones might backfire. Because I’m staring at all I ever wanted and never thought would happen for me.
After losing at love in the past, could I finally be on a winning streak?

About JL Beck:
Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.
She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam.
Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks.
Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers.
She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 by NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover is LIVE!!! Fans of billionaires, enemies to lovers, rich boy/poor girl vibes, and a creepy haunted house thrown in, this is the book for you!
When he moves, the rest of the world moves with him. As the heir to the Halliday name and fortune, Win’s entire life has been carefully orchestrated from the moment he came into the world. He’s never been allowed to aspire for anything outside that plan, including love. After the tragedy that followed his younger brother chasing his foolish heart, the Halliday Matriarch insists on picking a bride that’s up to her outrageously high standards.
Unfortunately, for all the eager bachelorettes, the only woman Win would ever consider marrying isn’t found anywhere on his mother’s list.
He’s got his eye on the exceptionally ordinary, Channing Harvey.
There’s so much history and hatred between the two of them, that a happily ever after is impossible. Win doesn’t need forever, he just needs to get his tyrannical mother off his back.
Channing’s not interested in his millions or his ridiculous contract marriage offer, but she’s about to learn that Win Halliday is relentless. This is the first decision Win has made with only himself in mind, and nothing’s going to stop him from getting what he wants.
They’re getting married, and God help whoever gets in Win’s way — including his very reluctant bride-to-be.
𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧 by Evey Lyon is releasing on all platforms on May 28th and will go into KU on June 4th! This is a small town, single dad, age-gap romance set in the Lake Spark world.
What to expect: Age-gap, single dad, forced proximity, insta-attraction
Blurb:
Holden is older and a single dad. And due to a favor owed from his hockey days, he’s the man I just moved in with…
The moment I walked into the office as the new interior designer for the man my dad used to coach, I knew trouble loomed. Holden is a retired hockey player who now owns a hotel. He’s also trying to balance his single-dad life. Against all better judgment, when he has a crisis with his kids, I end up moving my suitcase into his guest room due to an old favor I owe. I didn’t expect to be adding nanny to my resume, but it leads me and Holden into our own secret little world.
Where we give in, and we can’t seem to stop.
Lust takes over, and the bond between us grows stronger. Holden might be conflicted by his allegiance to his old team rules and devotion to his kids, but a glimpse of something special nearly tears him apart. Now we’re stuck at a crossroads. Because Holden is looking at me with a realization that a future for us may be too big of a jump. I see it on his face that he thinks we’re in too deep, and if he could go back in time before the lines were crossed between us, that’s probably when he should have run…
Holden and Lexi bring the feels and steam in this age-gap, forced-proximity, single-dad love story. Should Have Run is the second standalone book in the small-town Lake Spark Inn series, which is part of the Lake Spark world.

𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡 by Maggie Rawdon is releasing June 20th!!! We are thrilled to share a teaser with you!!!
“Everyone is staring at me,” she says, turning her head and tucking her chin toward her shoulder to speak directly in my ear. “It’s like they all know this is fake and I don’t belong here.”
I’m a bit afraid she’s going to turn around and bolt, because that seems to be her default defense mechanism when she’s scared.
“Jules,” I say, dropping her hand and bringing mine to rest on her lower back while I guide her deeper into the room. “They’re not staring because they think this is fake. They’re staring because when you walk into a room, no one else is even worth looking at.”
She raises her head to meet my eyes, and the look she gives me is nothing but a riot of confusion—like she can’t trust my words and so she’s searching my face to figure out my meaning.
“You seem to have lost the ability to speak,” I tease as I brush my lips across the bridge of her nose. “I didn’t think that was possible.”
“Why would you say that when no one else is even around to hear? You don’t have to sell this whole relationship when it’s just you and me, you know?”
“You wanted to know why people are staring, and I gave you an honest answer.”
Her jaw drops the tiniest bit as she runs her tongue along her top lip, and all I can think about is how she tastes. I want her to kiss me again. I want to experience that kind of possession I felt the last time our bodies came together, before we were so rudely interrupted.
In fact, sometimes it feels like that’s all I can think about now…hockey and her.

𝐅𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐭 by Julia Connors is releasing on June 7th!!! We are thrilled to share a teaser with you!
After fifteen years of tending goal for the Boston Rebels, I’m known for two things: the highest save percentage in the league, and never spending more than one night with the same woman.
I’m definitely not the guy you should trust with your best friend’s little sister. Especially not when that sister, Jules, is eight years younger and my new roommate.
When I witness her on the verge of a panic attack while being intimidated by another man, I don’t think twice about calling her my fiancée and kissing her. Which brings me to the third thing I’m known for: reckless and impulsive decision-making.
After a video of that steamy kiss goes viral, the whole world is convinced we’re engaged. If we don’t play along, I risk losing my place as the starting goalie for the Rebels, and Jules’s reputation and career could tank.
Our engagement may be fake, but the memories of the way she tastes, and the feel of her body wrapped around mine, are all too real. And the more time we spend together, the less it feels like pretending.
None of the secrets from my past seem to matter as much when I’m with her. It turns out, Jules may have some secrets of her own – and uncovering them just might be what heals me…or what finally breaks me.
I never looked back the day I left Sunset Drive. If I did, I knew that I would never leave the hellhole I had grown to despise, a place I began plotting my escape from as a child. The only difference was that I always thought she’d be by my side on the day I was finally free.
The day I left it all behind was the day my hatred for the entire Wilson family was born. Poppy included. After all, she had lied to the police just to protect her monstrous father after he got my parents killed. From that day forward, I decided she needed to be dead to me. They all did. The only thing that mattered from then on was the one thing that had never let me down. Hockey.
She may haunt me in my dreams during those three years we were apart, but that was nothing compared to now when I’m forced to see her at Brooks University. Slowly, my grip on everything else in my life begins to slip away as she becomes the only thing that matters. And when I find her in an alleyway, battered and bruised from two attackers who vow to return for her…I decide right then that I am going to protect her at all costs.
But protecting her means making a deal with the devil, also known as my rich uncle. A deal that will mean I will never get the chance to spend forever with the only girl I’ve ever loved. Poppy Wilson.
It’s a high price to pay, but when it comes to her safety, I have no limits.
Owner of a thoroughbred racing stable, Teresa Rodriguez is about to testify against her former trainer. Is he the one behind all the recent sabotage? When security expert Matt Perez joins the investigation, Teresa is grateful for the extra protection he and his K-9 offer. Now, as Matt and his dog, Butter, stand beside her 24/7, the attraction between them can’t be denied. Even as the danger escalates.
From Harlequin Intrigue: Seek thrills. Solve crimes. Justice served.

“Max!” The door swung open and the woman beside me jerked upright, taking my sheet with her. “Who are you?” “Edu.” “You can’t just come in here! Who do you think you are? Max, tell him!” I rolled over, my hand searching for the warmth of my sheet as I peeled my eyes open. “What?” “Tell him he can’t barge in here! Tell him who I am!” I squinted at her, trying to remember where I knew her from. Was I at the bar last night? Must have been. With smeared mascara and the tiny black bra, I doubt I would have picked her up at the supermarket. Not that I even knew where the supermarket was. “Who are you?” I asked.
Even as a young child Jenni Bara would conjure up all kinds of tales with her endless imagination. She’s improved her skills since the days of scaring her younger cousins with ghost stories, but her love for books and stories has never changed.

Things only an idiot would do: 1. Develop an obsession for his best friend’s sister. 2. Agree to let her be his new roommate. 3. Kiss her.
Hello I’m Emerson Knight and I’m an idiot.
I try to stay away from Gianna Damiano I really do. But between crop tops and fiery glares I can’t get her off my mind. One fake date changes everything and I cannot deny I want my hands on every one of my new roommates delicious curves. One night keeps turning into one more. And suddenly I’m lying to my best friend.
I’m the man known for his fake out, but I’m only kidding myself because the way she’s stealing my heart feels very real.
Nathan Hunt needs a girlfriend. Specifically a fake one.
Yes, the shy, grumpy twin of Henry Cavill who sits at the end of my bar needs to convince his absurdly rich family that he’s actually capable of a normal social life.
And he’s willing to pay a professional to fill that role.
Who happens to be me.
It helps that I’m just desperate enough to need the cash and not ask any questions.
I’m the obvious choice: Joni Zola, former dancer and forever flirt.
Never too serious. Always a good time.
On its surface, the plan is simple.
First, tell everyone we’re roommates.
Then move on to lovers.
His family will leave him alone, and I’ll have a free place to stay and a full bank account.
Easy, right?
But as our scheme progresses, the lines blur.
Soon casual PDA turns into sharing a bed at night.
On the outside, Nathan Hunt is just my next boyfriend of the hour.
But what if secretly, I might want him forever?
If we can keep things professional, this just might work.

Life is so hard when you want to live like a magpie, stealing anything shiny you find, but you live in a small town where everyone knows your face.
Nothing exciting ever happens here, unless you count us getting our very own movie-rental shop right next to the sheriff’s station.
Which, for the record, I don’t.
That is, nothing exciting happens until my roommate is murdered and her body washes up on the riverbank for the police to find.
Confused and angry, all I can really do is move on and let the police handle things…right?
Wrong. I can use the questionable life skills God saw fit to give me and be the best stalker—I mean, investigator—anyone has ever seen.
Until four sexy-as-sin strangers waltz into town like we’re some kind of fun tourist destination rather than the most boring place on earth.
Lysander, Azriel, Nykos, and Rhys don’t belong in this town. Something’s off with them. Something is wrong behind their shrewd gazes and swoon-worthy looks. More suspicious still, they show up right as my roommate was found, and the reasons they give for coming here are flimsy at best.
At worst? I’m starting to think they killed her or that they know who did.
Is it coincidence that they’re here just after the first murder in more than a decade occurs?
And even if I’m wrong, what happens if the dust settles and I can’t keep living the only life I know?
Well, let’s just hope my body doesn’t end up in the river too.

She shook her head, which made the judge remind her she needed to verbally answer.
It took a second before she responded through gritted teeth. “I, Channing Harvey, do not know of any legal impediment which would prevent me from marrying Winchester Halliday.” She looked like she wanted to bolt, but she stayed put as I repeated the same spiel back to the officiant.
There were no vows or anything extraneous aside from the mandatory legal bits and pieces. The whole thing was as romantic as a root canal and took less than ten minutes. The judge was getting ready to dismiss us after pronouncing us husband and wife. I could tell he was deliberating over adding the kiss-the-bride portion at the end. It didn’t seem fitting, considering Channing barely looked at me while repeating what she was required to for the civil ceremony to end.
I lifted my eyebrows and watched the older man deliberate before his professionalism finally won out. “You may kiss the bride.”
Channing turned to face me and rolled her eyes. She looked like she was about to tell me not to even think about touching her. She froze when I reached out and pinched her chin between my thumb and forefinger.

My abductor told me he would let me go…after he got what he wanted. So I offered him my virginity in exchange for my freedom, but he broke that promise. And now he’s decided to keep me.
When my past suddenly collides with my present, it’s an all-out war.
How could I have ever guessed that my captor would turn into my protector?
I don’t know if we can survive this, but now it’s my turn to save him.
