Bathsheba (Beth) Ryan can’t thank her best friend enough for helping her land the job of her dreams. After being relegated to second-string security for politicians in DC, being hired as an undercover personal security specialist by a giant Hollywood studio is exactly the kind of action she’s always wanted.
Until she meets her first assignment.
Cyrus Malcom can’t thank his agent enough for arranging a blind date with seemingly the woman of his dreams. After spending the past several years playing all the parts and climbing all the ladders, the lonely mega movie star finds himself actually enjoying a night on the town for the first time in ages when he meets the gorgeous, funny, and genuine Ryaine O’Rourke.
Until she shows up at his studio meeting the next day with a completely different name.
A world-wide press tour and too many late-night parties later, Beth simply needs to get through a short, one-day visit during the Christmas holiday, and then she’ll be free of Cyrus Malcom’s confusing hot looks and cold shoulders for good.
But just as they leave the airport, it starts to snow . . .
‘Drama King’ is the second book in the Three Kings Series, is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy, and can be read as a complete standalone.

❄️Review❄️
Cyrus is a successful actor who has realized that fame has its drawbacks both when it comes to his security and finding a woman to share his life with. He thought the tide had turned and was having a wonderful time on his blind date with Ryainne however he never expected that the next time he would see her was when she being introduced as his bodyguard and that her name was Beth.

Beth is looking forward to starting her assignment as a bodyguard the next day but first she is convinced by her friend Ryainne to go on a blind date in her stead and give her an honest opinion of the man. She didn’t expect the feelings she would have for him in their short time together or that he was about to become her next assignment and that is when the fun really begins.

The banter between them is humorous, the chemistry is intense, and we soon realize that there is so much more to both these characters than first appears. Both Cyrus and Beth are looking for something in their lives seeing them open their hearts to each other is everything you could want and more.

Blurb:

One night together nearly ruined our friendship, but then two pink lines changed our lives forever.

When I got out of the military and came back to Ryker Ranch, all I wanted was a place to call home. I found that with Jenna Hughes. She offered me a roof over my head on one condition – that we stay firmly in the friend zone.

It’s all going fine until a blizzard derails our plans, and we obliterate the line we swore never to cross. Now, I can’t look at my roommate without wanting more.

Especially when Jenna tells me she’s pregnant.

But the last thing she wants is for me to stick around because of the baby. She doesn’t realize she’s had me roped for a long time, and I never want to let go of the reins.

How the hell can I convince my sweet stubborn girl to let me love her without scaring her away?

🤠Review🤠
Jenna and Trent are not only friends but roommates as well. They have been denying the chemistry between them until a snowstorm and a little too much alcohol has them crossing lines however one night is all they would have. Jenna doesn’t want to destroy their friendship but finding out she is pregnant changes everything.

Trent would do anything for Jenna and that includes being friends only. The unexpected pregnancy is a gamechanger and now Trent is determined to show Jenna that he wants her and the baby not out of duty but out of love.

Jenna is cautious due to her past so Trent lets her set the pace as she shows her with every word and deed that they are destined to be forever and not just friends.

🎁 Santa’s Seven Bikers by Betty Shreffler

I thought I’d met the right woman, my ride or die girl. Hot, feisty, full of fire—she made

my heart race in and out of the bedroom. I was ready to order a property jacket and

declare her as mine.

My arrogance, her broken inhibitions, and a fight that changed everything brought us

crashing down. Letting go of her was hard, and getting over her was even harder.

Five months after our breakup, she comes walking into my clubhouse with a pregnant

belly and a declaration that it’s mine.

I’m not ready to be a father or forgive her, but it’s help she needs and I’m not going to

abandon her, not with Christmas a few weeks away.

What I didn’t expect though was to fall in love again—with the mother of my child.

Blurb:

Our first meeting was at a nightclub, and it was something straight out of my most romantic fantasies.

My ovaries exploded at the sight of the Russian God. And by God, I mean he was ripped, tall, dark, and deadly attractive. There were enough sparks between us to light up a city.

 

Then an explosion blasted through the nightclub, and we got trapped together for three hours, sharing our most personal details… everything but our names.

 

Two years later, our second meeting is the complete opposite of the first. It’s clear Misha Petrov, a Russian enforcer for the bratva, despises me. The emotional night we shared meant nothing to him.

 

You see, my family is sworn enemies with the bratva and Italian mafia, which means Misha considers me a threat.

I wish I could hate him the way he hates me. But nooo, my stupid heart wants what it wants.

Every rough touch from Misha makes my skin tingle.

Every low-rumbling threat growled through his clenched teeth has my breath speeding up.

We might be sworn enemies, but I can’t stop myself from wanting this dangerous man.

 

Then there’s the other problem.

If I can, by some miracle, get Misha to fall in love with me, we’ll only have to face the entire bratva and my family.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hunter Logan

There are only two things that keep me going: my business and caring for my extended family. So the expansion plans I have for my ice cream company, plans that will set up my siblings and cousins for life, are very close to my heart.

 

When a major obstacle gets in the way, it rocks my world. Suddenly I’m scrambling to save my business, and the person who holds my livelihood in the palm of her hand is the girl who stole my heart sixteen years ago.

And never gave it back.

Beth is back in Ashleigh Lake, and this could be my second chance, but will I pick my family over the love of my life again?

 

Beth Anderson

The last person I expect to walk back into my life on a random weekday afternoon is Hunter Logan, the boy who broke my heart. And now he wants me to save his business and not sell the farm in Ashleigh Lake that I’ve inherited?

 

The best thing I can do is shut the book on Hunter and my past, but that won’t be easy. Not when he’s my next-door neighbor on my visit to Vermont to sign on the dotted line. And most definitely not when he goes out of his way to remind me of everything I once loved about Ashleigh Lake…him most of all.

 

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE is a second-chance romance written in first person, dual Point of View, set in small town Vermont and sure to give you a warm and fuzzy glow around your heart!

BLURB
GRAYSON EDWARDS is one sexy bastard. From the moment we locked eyes, I wanted him. He’s funny, charismatic, and the essence of swoony. 
 
What was supposed to be one night of passion, turned into so much more. I never expected to fall in love with him, or for him to love me back.
 
When he got down on one knee and proposed, asking me to spend the rest of my days by his side, it was a surreal moment. He was my hopes and dreams all rolled into one. A bright future I never thought I’d have.
 
But life has a way of kicking you in the teeth sometimes, and I was in no way prepared for what was to follow. 
 
I never would’ve guessed we shared a common link from my past.
 
A past that still haunts me to this day. One so horrific, I had no choice but to walk away from the person I loved more than life itself.
 
My soulmate.
 
Two and a half years on and those feelings haven’t changed. He still owns my heart. I miss him with every fiber of my being. 
 
But how can I give my life to a man … bear his children … when he has the blood of the devil running through his veins?

💚Review💚
Carla has endured a past that no one should have to which has made her cautious about the people she allows close to her. When she meets Grayson, he is patient and understanding and breaks through her walls until life throws them a curve ball that turns their lives upside down.

Grayson is dealing with a difficult past of his own and wasn’t looking for love or a relationship until Carla came into his life. He wasn’t prepared for the life they were planning to come crashing down but the one thing he does know is that she is worth fighting for.

Carla and Grayson take us on a journey that is filled with so much emotion and turmoil. The characters and their story draw you in and will have you hoping that they can have the happiness they both deserve after all they have been together both together and apart.

Resisting The Rookie 🏈 Now Live

Title: Resisting the Rookie
Series: Charleston Pirates
Author: Jacob Chance
Genre: Sports Romance (can be read as standalone)
Trope: Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: December 16, 2022
Cover Design: Sybil Wilson/Popkitty Design

Bodhi Shine, my brother’s best friend, is the closest thing I have to an enemy. Tall, with irritatingly good looks, this cocky jerk has been a thorn in my backside for as long as I can remember.
 
We’re like oil and water—we just don’t mix.
 
I do my best to avoid him, but now that he’s the new running back for the Charleston Pirates and staying with my twin, that’s damn near impossible.
 
And when we find ourselves as guests at the same beach house, there’s no way to keep my distance. Forced to spend time together, it’s not long before our mutual attraction wins out over common sense.
 
Although I remind myself of all the reasons I should resist the rookie… making the wrong choice has never felt so right.

🏈Review🏈
Bodhi’s first season as a professional football player didn’t unfold the way he would have liked due to an injury but now that he is playing for the Charleston Pirates and his teammate is his best friend things are looking up. He has been hiding his true feelings for his best friends sister Vanessa behind the banter they have been exchanging but when they find themselves vacationing together it is game on!

Vanessa has a demanding career as a nurse so a relaxing getaway with friends seems like exactly what she needs until she finds out Bodhi will be there as well. He inspires so many feelings in her that range between infuriating to intriguing but denying the sweet and swoony side of him is the biggest challenge of all.

The banter between them is humorous, the chemistry is intense and the other characters we know are there for moral support as Bodhi is ready to finally claim the woman who owns his heart.

Jacob Chance grew up in New England and still lives there today. He’s a martial artist, a football fan, a practical joker, and junk food lover.

A USA Today bestselling author of sports romance and romantic suspense, Jacob plans on writing many more stories.

The Target 🧡 Available Now

Release Date: December 16
 
All I wanted was a break from my small town life. Not to be stuck driving across the country with my older brother’s gorgeous, infuriating best friend.
 
Charming, cocky federal agent Scott Dunn is back in my life. And I hate him.

Four years ago, Scotty was the center of every one of my fantasies. He was funny, kind, and eleven years older than me–a protector. But one ill-timed confession and he vanished from my life without so much as a goodbye.

Now I am called to testify against the men who kidnapped me and the gorgeous, infuriating man I tried so hard to forget is assigned to protect me. I want answers and he refuses to give them.

But as much as he claims to hate me too, I see the way his eyes linger on my skin. How his hands itch to reach out. He understands me in a way I’ve never let another man get close enough to know. My scars, physical and emotional, are a constant reminder of the girl I used to be.

A girl I try to forget.

As we travel across the country, the tension and simmering heat becomes unbearable. He’s pushing me outside my comfort zone while I’m desperately searching for control––until I realize Scott is more than willing to give it to me.

Once this is over, I know he’ll disappear again. But for now, he’s surrendering his control, and I’m going to take it.

Title: Effortless
Author: Jennifer Van Wyk
Genre: Small Town, Single Parent, Blue Collar, Over 30, Contemporary Romance

Who knew a cancelled flight would turn out to be the best night of my life?
He didn’t know what my life was like before he offered me a seat at his table.
I don’t know how, but he could see I was crumbling inside.
I had become an expert at hiding my true feelings and life’s desires but with Cash, he saw through the mask I had grown accustomed to wearing.
That night with him was the first time I was able to be myself. He listened to me.
For the first time in my life, I felt free, wanted, and cherished. But more than that, I felt seen.
Our time together was effortless but unforgettable.
But the night came to an end too soon.

The first time I saw her I could see a sadness in her eyes. As the night went on, the sadness lifted and I found myself doing anything I could to make it disappear.
But the night we spent in each other’s arms wasn’t enough. I needed more with her. Not just her body, her heart and mind.
For the past sixteen years I’ve dreamt of her, compared everyone else I meet to her, and longed for just one more night with her.
Then she walked into my small town and changed my life forever.
Now I can only hope her accepting my love comes as effortless as loving her.
