Darkness threatens to consume him, but nothing will stop him from keeping her safe….
Ricochet:
All it takes is one glance and I know Jordan is going to be mine.
Her sweet smile and infectious energy make me feel alive again.
She chases away the shadows, giving me a reason to continue on.
But just as Iโm beginning to win the elusive beauty over trouble comes for my family.
I may be a veteran with PTSD and a member of a notorious motorcycle club, but both have given me skills that allow me to address any threat and win.
I refuse to let my past dictate my future, and convincing Jordan to trust me is a matter of life and death.
Jordan:
From the first moment that Ricochet and I meet, I know heโs trouble.
The sexy biker has a dangerous and mysterious past that scares me.
Iโve been down this road before with my violent ex and Iโm not sure I can do it again.
As I get to know him, I realize heโs more than just a biker with a tough exterior.
Can I trust my own heart even though itโs led me astray before?
When danger comes, I find myself trapped in the crossfire. His past catching up with him is everything Iโve been afraid of, and Iโm not sure what to do.
I know deep down that Ricochet will do anything to protect me, but can I learn to trust him even though Iโve been burned in the past?
Fake dating her gay best friend to avoid the man of her dreams should be a piece of cakeโฆright?
Zoya Mikhail
I was not supposed to fall for my sister’s hot guitarist, Jareth Grayson. I wasn’t supposed to kiss him, either.
But mistakes were made.
Asking my gay best friend to pose as my boyfriend at my sister’s wedding is an act of desperation meant to keep me out of Jareth’s arms.
Until it fails spectacularly.
My bestie is MIA as soon as we land, and I’m pretty sure Jareth is stalking me. It’s the only explanation for why I keep ending up in his arms.
He’s a rockstar with a vineyard to run. I’m still in grad school, half a country away. This is never going to work. But God help me, I don’t want it to end, either.
Jareth Grayson
The woman of my dreams skipping town after I kissed her? Brutal.
Finding out that she has a boyfriend? Ouch.
Watching her boyfriend dote on her at my family’s vineyard? Oh, hell no.
Zoya Mikhail is mine. She can pretend she’s in love with another man all she wants, but I know better. I see the way she looks at me like she’s dying for another taste. She’s wild about me, and she knows it.
As soon as I find out why she’s lying to herself, I intend to put a stop to it.
In the meantime, I’ll be putting my hands on her curvy little body as often as necessary to remind her where she belongs. Right here with me.
Whiskey Promises is a spicy small-town romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, a reluctant-to-love heroine, a merry band of interfering cousins, and a whole lot of banter.
They say all is fair in love and war. Clearly, they havenโt met Warner Landers.
The ruthless billionaire had me begging him to spare my familyโs restaurant from a buyout. In response, he shamelessly flirted and walked away wearing a smug smirk.
Karma strikes, literally, when he crosses the street.
Unconscious, heโs rushed to the hospital, and for some unknown reason, Iโm swept in right after him as if I know this manโor worse, that Iโm married to him.
Am I in too much shock to deny the allegation? Yes.
Am I still using his short-term amnesia to my advantage? Absolutely.
Playing the doting wife to a grumpy CEO wonโt be easy, but Iโm determined to save my familyโs livelihood. I just didnโt expect him to be a changed man after the accident. Far graver (for me), the iciness between us begins to thaw, and our fake marriage starts to feel real, making it easy to forget my mission.
When his memory begins to return, so does the truth. Weโre at war, and falling for the enemy wasnโt part of the plan.
Camden Snow is old enough to be my father, dangerously charming, annoyingly irresistibleโand my future ex-boyfriend.
The moment I meet the former hockey player at his holiday party, the chemistry is off the charts. Despite the pesky feelings his presence stirs inside me, I have zero intention of actually dating the notorious bachelor.
I donโt date.
Iโm only entertaining Camdenโs advances because I have an article to write and a point to prove. For years Iโve witnessed my best friend date all the wrong men and repeatedly get her heart broken.
So Iโm going to teach her and the rest of my readers what not to do when dating by doing all the stereotypical wrong things and getting dumped.
The only problem? Camden Snow wonโt dump me.
In fact, everything I do to push him away only draws him closer.
Flirt with others? He gets possessive.
Talk about the future? Heโs all in.
But what if the one thing that could destroy us is the only thing I never planned for? Will my theory prove to be right, or will our love last past the snow?

Phoebe Graham is a specialist in deep cover espionage, infiltrating the enemy, observing their practices, and when necessary eliminating the threat. Her latest assignment is McKay-Taggart Security Services, staffed with former military and intelligence operatives. They routinely perform clandestine operations all over the world but it isnโt until Jesse Murdoch joins the team that her radar starts spinning. Unfortunately so does her head. Heโs gorgeous and sweet and her instincts tell her to trust him but sheโs been burned before, so heโll stay where he belongsโsquarely in her sights.
A man on the run
Since the moment his Army unit was captured by jihadists, Jesseโs life has been a nightmare. Forced to watch as those monsters tortured and killed his friends and the woman he loved, something inside him snapped. When heโs finally rescued, everyone has the same questionโwhy did he alone survive? Clouded in accusations and haunted by the faces of those he failed, Jesse struggles in civilian life until McKay-Taggart takes him in.

Choosing Jesse would mean abandoning everything she believes in, and it might mean sharing his fate because a shadowy killer is dedicated to finishing the job started in Iraq.
๐งReview๐ง When Phoebe began working at McKay Taggart Security she had an agenda of her own as she is determined to uncover the truth about the past and she believes that they and Jesse have the answers.

โจTEASER: ON BORROWED TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing January 16th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Connor Crais & Vanessa Edwin in DUET!
Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasnโt the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.
But showing him my bare backside wasnโt in my plans either.
When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.
I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.
But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldnโt resist his plea.
Or his massive physiqueโthe one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.
The problem with living together though is thereโs little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that heโs like a nut I want to crack open.
And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungsโand reignites my creativity as well.
But I gave myself a deadline to figure out whatโs next.
Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.
Turns out the heart doesnโt care, even when youโre on borrowed time.
He should be off limits, but he’s the best kind of trouble.
Briar
My father gave me the family brewery as an early Christmas present.
Generous, right? Except every single person on staff just quit, and I only have a budget that’ll last through the end of the year.
I need a miracle.
Lucky for me, my best friend Hannah’s big brother, Liam, is a genius brewer, and she convinces him to quit his job and come work for me. She only has one condition: I can never date him.
It’s an easy agreement to make. I’ve vowed to stay away from men after an embarrassing breakup, and I’d never sleep with someone who works for me. Besides, Liam’s an amateur boxer and frankly a bit terrifying.
Only…it turns out my best friend’s brooding, insanely talented big brother is the only man who’s ever really understood me.
Liam
I promised my sister not to date any more of her friends, because the last time I tried, it ended badly. Very badly.
I took this job thinking it wouldn’t be a problem to stay away from Briar. She’s a daddy’s girl who looks like a princess and talks like a boarding school teacher. Not my type.
But the woman I wrote off knows a lot about beer, and she’s a whole lot tougher than I gave her credit for. I want to run this brewery with her…and I want her too.
To my complete shock, I’m falling hard for my boss, and if my sister finds out, there will be hell to pay.
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless. I told myself it was a mistake Iโd never repeat.
Then he finds me at the Maple Festivalโฆ in labor with our surprise baby.
The best part? I had no idea I was pregnant.
Now Jasper is everywhere. The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he doesnโt just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so heโs never far away from us. Heโs a shirtless, helpful menace who cooks, cleans, and cuddles our son. He makes me feel safe, seen, and wanted. And I hate how much I love it.
Every time I shove him away, he shows back up, golden retriever energy and all, with coffee and pastries in tow, ready to carry the baby, the groceries, and occasionally me.
I came to Maplewood, Vermont, to discover my independence. But itโs hard to keep my distance when the townโs been shaken by danger, the scars from my past refuse to stay buried, and the firefighter I should absolutely avoid keeps setting my world on fire.
Turns out the biggest threat to me in Americaโs most charming small town might be the man who wonโt stop rescuing me.
Authorโs Note: Sap & Secrets is a small-town romance featuring a curvy black cat, a tattooed golden retriever, and a (very cute) surprise baby. If you enjoy acts of service, small-town shenanigans, and maple syrup madness, you will not be disappointed.
Series Note: Welcome to Maplewood, Vermont. Americaโs Most Charming Small Town has some dark, sticky secrets. Come for the maple syrup, festivals, and cheese wars; stay for swoon.
โจ TEASER: PLAYING FOR THE PRESIDENTโS DAUGHTER by @authorkimberlyknight & @rachellynadams releasing February 2nd! Pre-Order now at your favorite book vendor as it will be exclusive to Amazon on release day!
The presidentโs daughter shouldnโt be sharing a bed with two men.
She definitely shouldnโt still be thinking about them after one night together.
Faye Donnelley lives with every move photographed or judged. She can handle gossip blogs and political narratives, but what she really wants is something that isnโt for public consumption. One Fourth of July with two college baseball players finally gives her a night that isnโt for cameras or anyone outside that room.
Dylan Statler and Jase Matthewson are best friends, stepbrothers, and college teammates with dreams of making it to the big leagues. Hooking up with the presidentโs daughter was supposed to be a one-time thing. Except they canโt stop checking Fayeโs socials or replaying how it felt with her pressed between them, their hands and mouths all over her.
After Dylan and Jase are drafted by different teams hundreds of miles apart, their private group text with Faye turns into stolen weekends, hotel rooms, and late-night video calls they canโt resist. It starts to feel like they arenโt just playing for their careers, but for the presidentโs daughter, and for something between the guys they canโt ignore.
If their relationship gets exposed, Faye could become a political talking point while sports media outlets dissect Dylan and Jaseโs personal lives instead of their stats. That fallout would be bad enough, but when a terrifying moment shakes their world, it forces them to decide if theyโre willing to risk it all or walk away from a relationship that only works when all three are together.
From the author of MOTHER PUCKER, the fan-favorite hockey romcom, comes a sizzling new spinoff featuring a broody billionaire, a haircut gone wrong, and a fake engagement that tests the limits of every rule she’s ever made.
I botched a broody billionaireโs haircut, and what did he ask from me in repayment?
That I become his fake fiancรฉe!
In my defense, my new migraine meds had packed quite the drowsy punch that morning. One minute I was trimming his GQ-worthy locks, and the next, I’d given him a side shave that would make a Marine jealous.
Fast forward through a ticked-off Dev Menon storming out of my salon, threatening legal action, and Iโm thinking the day couldnโt get worse.
Except, it does . . .
Dev returns hours later with a wild proposition: โMarry me. Temporarily.โ
Turns out his motherโs dying wish is to see him get hitched, and Iโm the lucky girl who owes him a debt. The catch? I also have to move in with him to really sell the ruse.
Soon enough, Iโm realizing my career isnโt the only thing on the line with my hot-as-Hades fiancรฉ. My heart is, too.
So, I counter with a wilder proposition: a purely physical relationship with three simple rules. No kissing, no sleepovers, and definitely no falling in love.
Except, the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to stick to my rules. Devโs charm, his skilled hands, and his enormous . . . heart are testing my resolve. Even my traitorous cat is smitten.
Did I get more than I bargained for, or am I about to lose this very hairy game of pretend?
Authorโs Note: Reading this book can induce uncontrollable giggling, squealing, a newfound belief in true-love, and an inexplicable need to pet a hairless cat. Reader discretion is advised.
From the author of MOTHER PUCKER, the fan-favorite hockey romcom, comes a swoony and banter-filled new sports romance starring a single dad major league pitcher, a single mom who wants nothing to do with pro athletes, and a second chance neither of them saw coming.
I had a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger, believing Iโd never see him again. Except who did he turn out to be? Troy Winters, starting pitcher for the MLB and the hottest single dad to grace the planet.
Whatโs worse, heโs now my sonโs new baseball coach.
In my defense, Troy and I had agreed to exchange fake names and occupations that fateful night in a seedy Colorado bar. One perfect night of no strings and a quick escape from my busy single mom life. . . Right?
Fast forward to a re-meet-cute that had me diving under a chair, an injury that sidelined him for a year, and now Troy is coaching my sonโs team while he recovers.
His smoldering golden-hued gaze makes one thing clear: heโs not letting me disappear again.
But after a highly publicized divorce from a narcissistic pro-golfer, Iโm done with the spotlight and athletes. No matter how cute their rear end looks in a uniform.
Yet Troy is relentless. Between his bond with my boy, his tenderness for his daughter, and our scorching chemistry, my walls are crumbling.
So I offer a compromise: a friends-with-benefits situation while he recovers. Once he returns to the MLB, weโll go back to being just friends.
Simple enough, right?
Except, the more time I spend wrapped in his arms, the less simple everything becomes.
Now, with the MLB calling him back, I have a choice to make: stick to our deal and protect my heart or risk everything for the spotlight Iโd vowed to avoid.
And, thanks to one reckless night, my soon-to-be baby daddy.
Patton Pierce has a knack for showing up when I least expect himโmy street, my salon, my martial arts studio. Even my dreams.
Sure, Iโve pined for him over the past seven years, but if he thinks his low-slung gray sweatpants, backward cap, and infuriating grin will make me forget our past, then heโs in for a rude awakening.
But then my sisterโs bachelorette party happens, and I have one too many drinks. One ridiculous dare later, and I find myself โkissing the boy I used to loveโ.
One kiss leads to one incredible night.
And one night leads to two very pink lines.
Patton says he wants me back, that nothing would make him happier than to have this baby with me. But Iโve heard those words before.
He chose Hollywood over me before, and heโll choose it over me again.
Still, with him taking care of my every cravingโboth in and out of the bedroomโitโs getting harder not to fall for him.
The question is: will he be there to catch me this time?
I prefer to call myself a storyteller rather than an author. I’m a mom to two beautiful little girls and a wife to an incredibly supportive husband. My days start with caffeine and sometimes end with a glass (or three) of wine.
I’m a Texas raised Indian American currently living in the Bay Area. With a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, I’ve had a successful career building software products but writing is both my hobby and my passion.
For me, writing and reading are an escape from real life. I love meeting and creating characters who I’d love to take out for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. My goal as a storyteller is to distract my readers from their daily grind with stories about everyday couples finding and fighting for incredible love with the help of a little luck.
When a member of her crew is dragged to Hell by a demon, Zoey plans the most dangerous heist of her career. With her team at her side, Zoey intends to sneak onto the Hell plane and steal Sarah back.
The job seems impossible until a new client makes them an offer too good to refuse. If she can find an ancient artifact called The Revelation, she can use it to locate an angel who holds Sarahโs redemption in his hands.
Surrounded by warring angels and demons, the greatest threat may come from one of her own. Torn between her Fae lover and the vampire who has always held her heart, Zoey finds that she and Dev are trapped in Danielโs web of secrets and it may be Zoey who has to pay the ultimate price.
๐งReview๐ง Zoey is determined to rescue Sarah but the fate that has befallen her but to get the help she needs she first must steal an artifact. If she is going to be successful in her mission it will require the skills of Dev as well as those of Daniel and working together will only increase the conflict she has regarding her feelings for both of the men she loves.
Daniel is a powerful and feared man in the vampire world, but his greatest concern is keeping Zoey safe and trying to come to terms with the fact that Zoey may love him, but she loves Dev as well. Devin is a fae who may have started what was supposed to be a physical relationship with Zoey but both their hearts are now involved and he canโt imagine a future with her even if it puts him at odds with Daniel.
The paranormal world that the author has created with these characters is intriguing, action packed and unique. The love that Zoey has for both men is heartfelt and the surprises keep coming and leave us wanting more. Kitty Bang portrayal gives each character their own distinctive persona and brings out both the heat and adventure that this story incorporates.
From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes a grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, hands off clause, electrifying small town MC romance.
Wren
It was supposed to be a quick jobโslip into a criminal network, steal the money, vanish before anyone noticed.
Except now, Iโm wedged between a furious cartel and an unrelenting FBI agent.
Thereโs nowhere left to runโฆ except straight into the arms of the last people I should trust: the Iron Outlaws MC.
Yet Catfishโthe biker assigned to shadow my every moveโgives me attitude and quiet understanding in equal measure.
Iโve spent my life surviving systems built to erase me.
I didnโt expect a rough-edged biker with too many scars and not enough patience to be the one who sees me clearly.
Catfish
The club got hacked on my watch. Money gone.
Now Iโm stuck protecting the outsider they brought in to fix it.
Wrenโa hacker with no last name, no respect, and a mouth that drives me wild.
Theyโre off-limits. Presidentโs orders.
And Iโm already one mistake away from getting benched for good.
But when Wren is threatened, the rules go out of the window.
They become the line I’ll cross.
Because there isn’t anything I won’t do, to keep us safe.
Quiet. Serious. Protective. All words Stone Sylver would use to describe himself. And yet, something in his classic blue eyes said he was so much more. Buried beneath the years of raising his younger siblings and being a small town sheriff was a man looking for love.
Of course, I didnโt get all that the first night we met. The night we did a one-two step in a hotel hallway and knocked heads. The same night we shared a sweet potato cupcake and a single kiss.
Why didnโt we share more? The moment became a great mystery to me and because I thought he was only a brief interlude in my wanderlust life, I wasnโt prepared to see him again in Sterling Falls.
Visiting the small town where I once lived, I learn the man who I witnessed act like a superhero was more entwined in my past than Iโd remembered. And for a woman often afraid of a future, I suddenly craved oneโฆwith him. Which made no sense as Iโd never stuck in one place before. No one had ever asked me to stay.
Then again, from our first encounter, I knew Stone Sylver was different.

I run a multibillion-dollar retail conglomerate and pull strings most CEOs can only dream of. Winning is second nature. Chasing more is in my blood. My secret weapon? My virtual assistant of several years, Taylor Mitchell. He keeps my life in perfect order, and I trust him implicitly, which is why I gifted him a lavish weekend at my house on Saint Aurelle Island.

The moment I meet Ellie Mitchell, my world shifts.

I donโt know which betrayal cuts deeper: The lie she told me or the truth that I still want her.

โHands to yourself, Fireball. Thatโs what you promised. You owe me a romance book.โ

It was her turn to frown. โDid not. You told me it was a promise.โ

โWe can call it that,โ I said, leaning in closer, and she tried to back away but got trapped by my desk. My breath coasted over the shell of her ear, causing her to shiver, as I said, โBut we both know the truth.โ
