Good boys don’t lie, fight, or steal.
Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.
Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want–a real shot with my best friend.
Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.
Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.
Author’s Note: Pucking Revenge is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring text banter from the Billionaire Langfield Brothers, a singing Boston Bolts hockey team, a cinnamon roll goalie in a friends to lovers romance with fake dating, no miscommunication, one bed, a hot tub, and quite a few ducks.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. “Is This Love?” is an age gap, marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, small-town romance.
Legend
A marriage of convenience is one thing… but falling for your fake wife is all kinds of complicated.
Being married for a year is the only way to claim my inheritance. I couldn’t care less about the money. It’s not like I even knew my grandparents.
I wasn’t even considering it until Monroe volunteered. Sweet, sweet, Monroe. I’ve never let myself consider her as an option for me.
She’s been tucked safely away in a box labeled forbidden. That is until she takes my last name.
Monroe
It’s not like I planned to marry one of my friends… or fall for him.
One minute I offer to be his fake wife, and the next, we’re going through the motions— saying, “I do,” and playing house.
Legend is the kind of guy fantasies are made of—tall, dark, and tattooed. Now I’m sharing his bed and his last name for the next year.
Everything looks good on paper, and while this may have started out as playing pretend, the way I feel for him is the realest thing I’ve ever known.
As the weeks pass by, it doesn’t take long before either of us begins to question if we’re just friends or if this is this love after all.
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan has been crowned the Queen of Swoon by her readers. With nearly fifty romance books under her belt, she’s known for penning happily ever afters with heart. When she’s not writing, you can find her with a book in her hand or hanging out with her family where she resides in her home state of Ohio.
Which normally wouldn’t be a problem for an elite firefighter with razor-sharp instincts and cocky bravado to spare. Except this time, his impulsive decision on a call got fellow firefighter, Lucy de Costa, into hot water, too.
Did he mention that he’s had an unrequited crush on her for years? Or that she’s the battalion chief’s by-the-book daughter?
Or that the call that got them both benched was actually arson, only Sam can’t prove it without help?
Lucy de Costa doesn’t break the rules, and she sure as hell doesn’t catch feelings for other firefighters. She’s worked way too hard to make her way up the ranks for that, no matter how sexy Sam Faurier’s smile is–or how hot his determination.
He’s convinced there’s an arsonist on the loose. Trouble is, she’s the only one who believes him. And she’s going to have to throw protocol and caution out the window in order to help him prove it.
Even if she finds herself unable to resist him–and how much he wants her–in the process.
But the more they uncover, the deeper the danger becomes. To catch the arsonist, Sam and Lucy will have to rely on their wits, their training, and each other.
USA Today best-selling author Kimberly Kincaid writes romantic suspense that sizzles and contemporary romance with heart and heat. Equal parts action and emotion, her firefighters and first responders always save the day.
When she’s not finding adventure with her husband, three teens, and naughty Whippets, Olive, Daisy, and Jack, she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her nose in a book.
Kimberly’s series include Remington Medical, Station Seventeen, the Line series, Cross Creek, and her brand-new Intelligence Unit series. All titles stand alone for easy reading.
Some might consider Sam impulsive, but the truth is very different as being ADHD at time creates a different reaction than others. When he believes a victim is trapped inside a building that is on fire, he can’t ignore his instinct to rescue him even if it goes against his boss’s command but this time, he isn’t the only one in trouble.
Lucy is a firefighter who has always done what has been expected her in large part because her father is a powerful man within the fire department. When Sam enters the building, she can’t stand by and do nothing so she follows to help and now they find themselves forced to face the attraction between them and needing to find the person responsible for the fire before that person finds them.
The personalities of Lucy and Sam couldn’t be more different, but their goal is the same which is to help others. I enjoyed seeing them open their hearts to each other as they take us on a romantic and action packed ride.

But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.
So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.

Melody Anne brings you the Windsor family. Thomas and Linda Windsor have three sons—Blaze, Callan, and Zachary—inseparable but entirely different in looks and personalities. They attend college together and save a woman who’s drowning, then are shocked when she tells them they’ve done good and if they play the game she gives them, they’ll be granted a gift . . . but, if they begin the game and don’t finish, their lives will fall upon hardships. She disappears, leaving the game on their porch. They think nothing of it as they toss it aside, until a few months later when they’re bored, and they begin playing . . . but don’t finish.
It’s been ten years since Blaze graduated, and he’s changed from that time. He’s no longer the happy-go-lucky man he was when the world was his oyster.

Her siblings tell her they’ve given her the gift of a male escort, who will be showing up at her office. She reluctantly agrees to meet him.
