Unexpected sparks ignite a slow burn in this grumpy/sunshine workplace romance when a single mom proposes a marriage of convenience to save her boss’s brewery.
Fans of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borrison will find their next obsession with this second standalone in bestselling author Lena Hendrix’s spicy, emotional, deeply romantic Kings Series set in small town Michigan.
You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss.
You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . . .
I’ve never been one who thought she needed a man by her side. I’m a strong independent woman who likes to give a middle finger to the patriarchy, you know?
But whenever I do find myself in a bind—a bad date, an arrest, you know, normal things—Cole Campbell is always there.
He’s my knight in shining football pads.
And so when I need a place to stay, my brother’s best friend is there with a key in his hand.
Living with a man I’ve known since childhood should be easy. Except seeing him walk around the apartment shirtless with only a towel around his waist has me biting my lip…among other things.
We try to keep it friendly, but the pull is too strong. The chemistry is undeniable. And when our lips touch for the first time? We both know this is more than a mutual crush.
Our living situation was supposed to be temporary,
Only it’s starting to feel like forever.
Which is probably dumb, right? Falling in love with your brother’s best friend? The man who’s paid millions of dollars to protect him on the football field?
Definitely not what a strong, independent woman would do.
We know we need to come clean. But how?
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about football over the years, it’s that teammates shouldn’t fall for sisters.
And sisters shouldn’t fall for their brother’s best friend.
She wasn’t supposed to see him again after one reckless night. She definitely wasn’t supposed to be carrying his baby…
Cora
I’ve spent her whole life on the outside looking in—until I land in Saddle Creek, working for the one family that finally feels like home. There’s just one problem. Oliver Blankenship.
Grumpy. Guarded. And watching me like he’s already decided I’m trouble. He clearly doesn’t trust me. Thinks I’m after his money. The more I fall for his family… the harder it is to keep the truth from him. Because the secret I’m hiding? It’s going to tie me to him forever.
Oliver
I’ve been burned before—and I refuse to make that mistake again.
Cora is reckless. Tempting. Hiding something. I should keep his distance. Instead, I let her into my life, my family… my bed. The more I see the way she cares for the people I love, the more I want her to stay. But trust doesn’t come easy. And learning the truth means risking it all.
One unexpected pregnancy.
One man who refuses to trust.
One woman with everything to lose.
Because in a town like Saddle Creek, secrets don’t stay hidden …and falling in love might cost them more than their hearts.
Readers who love grumpy x sunshine, surprise pregnancy, and small town romance with heart will fall hard for Oliver and Cora’s story.
Cora loves her job looking after Mims and Pops but she didn’t realize that their grandson is the man she had one steamy encounter with and whose baby she is carrying. She wasn’t sure how to find him but now that he has come back into her life she worries that telling him could take away the only place that has felt like home.
Oliver hasn’t forgotten about the night he spent with Cora, but he didn’t know if he would ever see again. Finding her at his grandparents’ house has him wondering why she is really there but the more time he spends with her the more he wants to give her the family and home that she deserves.
The texts between the siblings are humorous and the closeness of Oliver’s family heartwarming. Cora’s backstory is touching and Oliver is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony.
He crossed an ocean to keep his word. She just didn’t expect to lose her heart. 🖤
Sullivan Black is an Irish millionaire who made a vow—and he doesn’t break those. Autumn didn’t ask for a protector. She definitely didn’t ask for one bed. And she absolutely did NOT plan on falling for the man who showed up on a Scottish coast ready to burn the world down for her.
But here we are.
If you love a long-distance slow burn that turns into “touch her, and I’ll end you” energy—this is your next read.
🔥Review🔥 Sully is a lawyer who has decided to leave the stress of his career behind for a few days and spend the weekend at his cabin. What he didn’t know was that his cousin had arranged for her friend to spend the weekend there or that the weather would result in some forced proximity and that he would never want her to leave.
Autumn has been temporarily assigned by her company to Scotland, which is how she met Bonnie, Sully’s cousin. When she offers a weekend getaway to Sully’s cabin it seems like the break she needs due to some turmoil in her personal life. After she recovers from the surprise of Sully appearing at the cabin they spend an enchanting weekend together however the future they are planning could be in jeopardy due to both their pasts.
The romance between Autumn and Sully is enchanting and Sully is so protective and supportive of Autumn and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for her. John Lane perfects the Irish brogue of Sully as well as his intense feelings for Autumn while Maxine Mitchell brings out the strength of Autumn’s character.
I came to Whispers to start over. Just me, my baby, and a bakery that smells like second chances.
No more judgmental glances. No more family who treated me like a stain they couldn’t scrub out. Just flour, sugar, and the quiet hope that I can build a life worth living.
I didn’t expect to meet Griffin.
Grumpy, gorgeous, and maddeningly closed off, he’s the town’s most elusive billionaire and the man who built homes for the rich but never made one for himself.
He sees me. Not just the bump or the baggage, but the woman underneath. And when he looks at me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made sense, I forget how to breathe.
But trust isn’t something I can afford. My past has taught me to be wary of everyone. Even if the grumpy builder says he’s ready to fight for something real.
Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.
Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.
The one who shows up.
The one who stays.
Even for her.
What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.
Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.
And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.
At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.
GRAYCIE I hate to think of myself as a runner. I’m usually the type of person to stand my ground and deal with problems head on. But when you find out everything you knew about the man that you’re with is a lie, and you find out who he really is, the only thing you can do is run.
Bruised and more than a little wary of what the future will hold, I’m hoping to make a fresh start in Dogwood Ridge, Tennessee. It’s the last place my ex will look for me, and there’s something special and quaint about this small town. The last thing I need is to get too comfortable, but from the moment I meet Opal, I’ve found a friend for life.
The one thing I didn’t anticipate is her pulling me into the world of the Saint’s Outlaw Motorcycle Club, a world I’m not prepared for. It’s out of my hands when Opal’s brother and VP, Snake, takes one look at me and claims me as his own. He has no idea the danger I’m bringing to his doorstep. Once he does, will he put his club and his brothers first or will he protect me?
TURNER “SNAKE” I don’t do complicated. There are only a few things I value in this life—my sister, my club, and my brothers. Beyond that, it’s all just noise to be ignored. Until Opal makes a new friend and brings her to the clubhouse.
Graycie is a complication I don’t need. She has fear in her eyes and is looking over her shoulder like she’s running from something. Instead of making me want to run, it makes me want her even more. I can protect her, make her happy, and give her the family she needs.
Once I claim my woman, complicated seems to be around every corner. Not only is her past looking for her, but everyone has an opinion about us being together. They’ll learn quickly that I take care of what is mine, and Graycie is mine. She’s my old lady and the only woman who belongs on the back of my bike.
📕𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 ✔️ Damsel in Distress ✔️ Motorcycle Club ✔️ He Falls First ✔️ Opposites Attract ✔️ New Girl in Town
🏍️Review🏍️ Now that Graycie has been able to distance herself from her past all she wants is a fresh start. Relocating to Dogwood Ridge is the best decision she could have made especially when it comes to her friend Opal who has convinced her to come with her to visit the Saint’s Outlaws MC where she dras the attention of Turner.
Turner is not only Opal’s brother but the VP of the MC as well. From the moment he saw Graycie he knew that they were destined to be together and if willing to do anything to make that happen which includes protecting her from the past which refuses to stay where it belongs.
The way that the members of the MC are there for each other was heartwarming when the suspense part of the story started to escalate and Turner isn’t about to let anything or anyone come between him and Graycie.
Sabbath Creed had an intensity that always enthralled me, yet I never would have fathomed his love could warp my own sanity into madness, setting ablaze everything I loved until nothing was left but ashes and agony.
I’ve always been drawn to fire, the way it consumes, transforms, and purifies. But I never expected it to devour my world, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak.
From that moment on, I chose to escape my fate, to escape him.
I could always feel his presence, lingering like smoke in the air. It was only a matter of time before he would find me. His love, twisted and charred by the flames of his obsession, burned endlessly for me. He would never let me go, not after what happened.
I thought working at Camp Redwood would hide me from his gaze, but it only pushed me into the spotlight with its own dark secrets. He was here, and I needed to make the ultimate decision: allow his love to consume me or extinguish its flames. Forever.
SABBATH
She thinks she can escape me, but she’ll never understand. I’m not just a part of her past; I’m a part of her. She might try to extinguish the flames, but I’ll never let her. I will make her mine again—no matter the cost. My little spitfire.

Releasing June 9, 2026
One offer from Dutton Richford is all it takes to land me in a deal with the enemy. For a man who I’ve spent most of my life despising (and I assumed it went both ways), he knew exactly what to say to convince me to help him. You see, he wants his father to choose him as the next owner of Lovers Lodge, the destination venue our small town is most known for, and I want to finally own my own business and expand it. We both have obstacles that are keeping us from getting what we want, and somehow, teaming up makes the most sense. It doesn’t take long for me to learn that I never really knew the man who has managed to steal my attention in just a few short weeks. The man who is much more observant and kinder than I expected him to be. Don’t even get me started on his bright green eyes, his sculpted body, and the dimple in his left cheek when he smiles. Which is rare, by the way, but he’s starting to do it more and more often with me. The way my heart pounds and my body heats when he’s near me, looks at me, touches me, or speaks to me is something I’m beginning to crave. It makes hating him that much harder. And that’s a problem, because what’s a girl supposed to do when a harmless deal turns into something more with a man who has always been forbidden?

A Single Dad/Nanny, Age-Gap Formula One romance from Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author SJ Sylvis.
I’ve always been the kind of person who finds the silver lining in a bad situation. To a fault, some would say.
But after everything fell apart at once, even I hit my breaking point.
Then Van Halston walked into my life.
Formula One’s hottest race engineer. Single Dad. A man built on control and careful distance.
When he presses his business card into my palm and asks me to travel the world with him and his six-year-old daughter, I think it’s a joke. It’s not.
There are rules, of course. I’m there to be a nanny. A teacher. A steady presence in his daughter’s whirlwind life on the racing circuit.
And with nothing holding me back, I say yes–desperate for an escape.
I just didn’t expect it to be him.
The quiet moments. The lingering tension. The way he looks at me like he’s fighting something he doesn’t want to feel.
The more I fall, the more I realize something terrifying: Van Halston doesn’t trust easily, and the second he believes I’ve crossed him…I’m no longer the woman he wants. I’m the enemy.

When I inherit the dilapidated Loveland Ranch on my birthday, I do what any self-respecting LA career woman would do—have one unforgettable night with a hot, broody cowboy and skedaddle before sunrise.
But when I hear that a crabby neighbor is suing my beloved grandmother’s estate, I decide her legacy is worth the dirt under my manicure and start renovating.
Cue the hot, broody cowboy, who rides up on a horse and informs me he’s the crab. And just when I think things can’t get worse, the universe hands me another surprise.
A little pink plus sign.
Fitz and I have nothing in common except being fiercely independent. We come from different worlds. We have different visions for the future. We don’t share the same dreams, backgrounds, or even the same zip code.
But it doesn’t take long before I find myself wishing for all the things I’d given up on—a real partnership with a protective, kind, hot-as-sin man who reassures me I’m not fighting my battles alone. Except he’s fighting his own battles, and they may be too big for us to overcome.
Will this accidental family we created lead to heartbreak? Or could it be the life I’ve always wanted?
I dreamed of being a Navy SEAL, but to achieve my goal, I had to choose. I could be gay or be a SEAL. Being a SEAL won out. You couldn’t miss what you had never experienced. I hoped being a team guy would fill the void left by denying who I was.
And it did, until terrorists took my teammate captive, and I watched two of my best friends find love. Now repressed thoughts and feelings plagued me, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to resist.
Especially not when my first and only crush showed up.
Roman
Growing up in the bible belt was hard enough, especially when my dad, the town doctor, committed suicide. I hid in the closet until I left for college. There twosomes turned into moresomes, which somehow led to a drunken hook-up with a sorority girl. When she turned up pregnant, I married her, but she disappeared as soon as the baby was born, leaving me a single dad.
April’s Cowboy Tanner by Eve London releases April 15th!
There are three rules I live by: ✅I don’t work with Kincaids. ✅I don’t cross lines. ✅And I don’t make the same mistake twice.
Waverly Kincaid makes me break every one of them.
She’s stubborn, relentless, and the one woman I should stay far away from, but she doesn’t take no for an answer. Not at my ranch. Not in town. Not when I make it clear she’s stepping into territory she has no business being in.
Now I’m stuck helping her find a horse, spending more time with her than I can afford, and breaking rules I’ve lived by my entire life.
One kiss was a mistake. Wanting her again is worse. Because Waverly doesn’t back down, and she doesn’t let me hide behind the feud or my reputation. Every mile, every argument, every moment alone pushes us closer to something neither of us can control.
She’s not just off-limits… she’s dangerous. And the worst part?
📕Review Waverly is a barrel racer who needs to secure a new horse in order to compete. Even though their families are enemies she approaches Tanner as she knows that he is the best person to help her evaluate the horses she is interested in so that she can make the right choice.
Tanner’s first response is a hard no, but he does agree to help her find the horse she needs but that is where it ends. As they spend time together the chemistry between them ignites but will they be able to find a path forward when it comes to their families’ pasts.
Waverly is strong, independent and isn’t willing to accept less than she deserves. Great chemistry and a little turmoil as Tanner must choose between love and the opinions of other.
