Desperate for a new life, Gretchen escapes her abusive ex and finds refuge in the small town of Gracemont. Her plan is simple: lay low. But when she meets Theo Storm, her sexy new boss, everything changes. Drawn into the warmth of his world, Gretchen discovers the possibility of happiness, love, and family—things she thought were out of her reach.
For Theo, it’s love at first touch. From the moment he takes Gretchen’s trembling hand, he knows he’s found someone worth fighting for. Though he senses she’s hiding something, he’s determined to help her overcome her painful past.
When old demons come knocking, Theo calls on his family to help protect the woman who’s quickly claimed his heart. The Storms are a force of nature, and they quickly step up, ready to defend their own at any cost.
Will they succeed in keeping Gretchen safe, or will her dangerous past tear her and Theo apart?
💚Review💚 After what Gretchen experienced at the hands of the man in her last relationship she is totally unprepared to let another man into her life. She has come to town looking to reclaim the woman she has lost and create a new life for herself but Theo, her swoony boss, is determined that she isn’t going to do it alone.
From the first time Theo saw Gretchen he knew that she special, but he also knows that she has been hurt. He is patient and understanding but he is also determined in his pursuit of her as he shows her that she not only belongs in Gracemont but with him as well and he will protect her from whatever comes her way.
I enjoyed seeing the evolution of Gretchen’s character as despite everything she has been through she shows how strong she is while Theo understands that she needs to find her own way but is going to be there every step of the way. Great chemistry and a touching romance.

mybook.to/atfirstflight Why you will love this book… 🔥Single Parent/Nanny 🔥Billionaire🔥He Falls First🔥Runaway Bride🔥Small Town
Lila Wright never expected to flee her dress fitting covered in a cloud of lace—let alone land in a first-class seat next to the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen. With mascara-streaked cheeks, a shattered heart, and no plan beyond “anywhere but here,” she spills her secrets to the stranger with the sharp jawline and stormy eyes. She expects a little sympathy. She doesn’t expect a two-week, all-expenses-paid escape on his dime.
Dean Harrington isn’t just any passenger. He’s a man with a heart locked up tighter than his family’s luxury yacht empire. The reclusive billionaire isn’t in the mood for small talk—until the runaway bride beside him turns out to be as intriguing as she is unfiltered. She’s beautiful, chaotic, and clearly a flight risk. But somehow, she puts him at ease. That is, until they land—and he discovers he’s now the full-time guardian of his niece and nephew.
By a twist of fate, Lila’s no longer just a fleeting encounter—she’s the nanny he hires from a small-town agency. And he’s her brooding, infuriatingly hot boss.
Forced under one roof in his bayside home, a temporary arrangement soon spirals into something far more complicated. Between sizzling tension and curious kids who want their uncle to be happy, Lila and Dean are on a collision course with feelings neither saw coming.
But sometimes love shows up uninvited—35,000 feet in the air.
This steamy small-town romance delivers billionaire angst, nanny sweetness, and a slow-burn love story full of heat, heart, and unexpected happily-ever-afters.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up to review here:https://bit.ly/atfirstflightsignup
✨TEASER: SOMEHOW YOU KNEW by @harlowjamesauthor releasing July 10th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Erin Mallon and Brandon Francis!
I never imagined I’d agree to an arranged marriage for over 5 million dollars.
Not to mention that the man I’d be marrying is someone I’d already met once before.
Gage Kingston waltzes into the meeting with the lawyer unaffected—cocky, tattooed, and acting like he didn’t know who I was.
But after we agree we’d be stupid to walk away from that kind of money, we embark on a six month timeline to riches despite the animosity between us.
Now I’m living with the man his aunt thought would be perfect for me while wondering if the woman was going insane before she died to think this was a good idea.
Then the first letter came.
Turns out Diane had a plan to get us to fall for each other while trying to make our marriage work.
Arguments turn to meaningful conversations.
Innocent brushes turn to lust-filled challenges.
And before I know it, we’re crossing every line we drew in the sand.
Did Diane somehow know that we were meant for each other before we figure it out for ourselves?
Or was jumping into a marriage with a man I barely knew one of the worst mistakes of my life?
Sin Bin is a college hockey romance with a party boy hero, a heroine with a rebellious streak, and the sparks that fly when they’re anywhere near each other
Ollie
I didn’t plan for any of this to happen. Granted, if you polled the general population of Bainbridge University and asked which of the hockey players was most likely to get married in Vegas, my name would probably be first on the list. But the name of my lovely bride? That would be a shocker.
I’ve wanted Fallon Zabek since the moment I laid eyes on her a few years ago, but as my teammate’s sister, she was off limits. I’m known for doing things I shouldn’t, but I stayed on my best behavior and kept Fallon at arm’s length.
That wasn’t hard to do since I’m not her favorite person. All it takes is one night, two drunk confessions, and a pair of wedding bands to change everything.
Fallon
Freedom. It’s finally mine, and I’m determined to make the most of it.The overbearing father who ruled my life for far too long has no say in my choices anymore. I’m making my own plans, my own rules, and my own mistakes.
I never thought one of those mistakes would be getting tipsy and waking up married to Ollie Jablonksi.
All I want is to be on my own and to be calling the shots in my life, so agreeing to stay married is an awful idea. But the more time I spend with Ollie, the more I realize that when you’re with the right person, love isn’t suffocating, it’s liberating.
***
Sin Bin is the first book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love playboys who push the limits, heroines who give as good as they get, and spicy scenes that will melt your kindle, then buckle up for Ollie and Fallon’s love story!

🖤Review🖤 After all the loss that Julian has endured he has closed himself off to everyone as his lifestyle puts anyone he cares about at risk. Or at least that was what he was doing until he finds out that Genesis, the woman who was the best friend of his sister, is being forced into a marriage for alliance reasons by her father and he isn’t about to let that happen.
Even though Genesis is estranged from Julian that hasn’t diminished the feelings she has always had for him so if it is a choice between giving him a baby or the marriage she was being forced into it was no choice at all.
Genesis is a character you can’t help but being drawn to as she hasn’t allowed her lifestyle to change her despite the challenges she has faced. She helps Julian become a better version of himself as he is dangerous and powerful but when it comes to Genesis it changes to protective and possessive and I enjoyed seeing them finally give in to their feelings for each other.
