I used to believe in happily ever afters, until the man my mother married stripped away my innocence, piece by piece.
For years, he kept me completely isolated, locked away and out of sight. If not for my diary, I’m not sure I would have survived his torment.
But when two pink lines turn my world upside down, I know it’s now or never—I have to escape before the monster down the hall learns my secret and destroys my only reason for living.
Alone and on the run, help comes from the last place I’d ever expect—his son.

Slowly but surely, he earns my trust and begins stitching me back together again, and before I know it, I find myself falling for him.

Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.
Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.
I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.
I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.
But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.
I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.
Readers who love Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, Laura Pavlov, and Lyla Sage will love Bourbon Sunset.
Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County.
Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.
Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.
Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.
The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.
Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monhegan’s newest resident and retired child star.
When I first step off the boat, I’m ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media won’t bother to look for me here.
What I get instead is exasperation.
“Summer people.” It’s grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence.
He’s stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts.
Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, I’m not going anywhere. In fact we’re neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me.
Summer in Monhegan isn’t at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I haven’t quite figured out why he’s so miserable, but I’m also not volunteering what I’m running from.
All I know is the Islanders aren’t the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it won’t matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe I’m destined to be nothing more than 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.
I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.
Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.
We shared more than a moment.
Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.
No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.
Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.
I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.
Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.
I never promised forever. A good time? Absolutely. Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.
My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.
Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.
She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.
One night. One line crossed. Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.
For the first time, I want it all.
And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.
Most people think I’m a moron. In actuality, I’m a man with a plan.
It’s one of those three-year plans that takes longer than three years.
Still, I’ve been making it happen. Checking off those to-dos and turning them into to-dones.
Everything is almost lined up.
And then my phone rings.
By the time I get to Jess, she’s unconscious and bleeding.
My carefully crafted plan blows up in my face.
I tell the hospital we’re engaged. We aren’t, but apparently, in that place, you need a permission slip to see your most important, so I do what has to be done.
I toss together an epic apology salad for when she opens her eyes, and when she does…
She asks me who I am.
I’m willing to overlook the insult since, you know, head injury, but then Nurszilla spills the beans on our pending nuptials.
And just like that, my friend turns into my fiancé, and I’m not even mad at it.
How could I be? Her curves fit in my arms perfectly. Kissing her is like whoa and makes me forget I’m living a lie.
I know I have to come clean, but someone dirtier than me is stalking my final girl, and until she remembers who, it’s on me to keep her safe.
The closer we get, the guiltier I feel.
When all this is over, will she forgive me? Or will everything I’ve done cost me everything I’ve always wanted?
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?
When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming—just like in the story my mom used to read to me.
But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas.
When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn’t exist.
He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess—before he disappeared without a trace.
After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending—turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince… He left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who’s now my entire world.
And while I might’ve given up on finding my Prince Charming, I’ll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did.
Resisting the Running Back by Lisa Suzanne is now live!
A steamy Pro Football, Best Friends to Lovers, Fake Relationship Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
When my ex exposes my secret romance pen name to my students and my world unravels, I turn desperately to the one person who’s always had my back: my childhood best friend Miller Banks. The pro football running back drops everything, leaving in the middle of his wild Vegas birthday party to be by my side.
With my life in shambles back home, Miller invites me to stay with him in San Diego, offering both a sanctuary and a chance to pursue my writing career since my teaching days are over. It’s the perfect setup with the ultimate book boyfriend, though we’ve never crossed that line and never will.
But then I make the mistake of telling my mother that Miller and I are in a relationship, and we tell my ex that we’re engaged. Thankfully Miller plays along, grabbing me into the kind of steamy, soul-shattering kiss I can’t stop thinking about.
As I watch my new roommate work out and cook dinner, it’s becoming harder to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Especially when our “engagement” hits the media and we’re forced to be a happy couple in public, further blurring the line between real and fake.
We can’t cross that line. I have to continue resisting the running back. If I don’t, we could both lose the very thing that matters most to us.

When she’s not chasing her kids, she can be found working on her latest romance book or watching reruns of Friends.
🏈Review🏈 When Sophie’s professional life implodes she reaches out to the one person who has always been there for her, Miller. Like always he is there for her in the blink of an eye and before she has a chance to regroup he is not only her roommate but her pretend fiancé as well.
There is nothing that Miller won’t do for Sophie and that includes being there for her while she handles this challenge. Pretending to be her fiancé may help her with both her mother and her ex but he is finding it harder to deny his feelings for her which have always been much deeper than friendship.
Neither Sophie nor Miller can imagine a future that doesn’t include the other which has them conflicted between protecting what they share and exploring that it could be so much more. Seeing them finally acknowledge what they are meant to be included humor, heat and all the feels and is everything you could ask for and more
✨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?

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
🔥**NIALL is bringing the HEAT.**🔥 One kiss—and she was wrecked. His mouth? Sin. His hands? Possessive. His words? Irish-accented filth that will ruin you.
From Melanie Moreland’sNiall, this scene is pure tension, deep kisses, and the kind of alpha energy that leaves you breathless.
💋 “That is how I would kiss you, Anna. Every time.” 🥵 We were not ready.
Nothing prepared for the onslaught of sensation as Niall truly, properly kissed me. The feel of his tongue on mine. The taste of him how he coaxed me to kiss him back, groaning as I imitated what he was doing in my mouth. He licked deep, teased, and explored. He slid his hand into my hair, fisting it, directing me, kissing me deeper, making me gasp as he slid his lips from my mouth along my jaw and up to my ear.
A sexy, accidental pregnancy, one night stand, sports romance from bestselling author, Lulu Moore
My name is Tanner Simpson and I’m gonna be a father.

When I’m not on the road fighting for a spot in the post season, I’m with Millie morning, noon and night. She wants ice-cream, I’m getting it. Chocolate brownies, no problem.
Navigating impending fatherhood is nothing compared to convincing Millie to take a chance on me. On us.

Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She’s the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions – the worst team in the M.L.B.
More recently she’s ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set – the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.
She’s a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You’ll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.
⚾️Review⚾️ Tanner has always known that Millie is his end game and he has just been waiting for her to realize it as well. When she makes a small crack in the wall between them he doesn’t hesitate and when that crack results in her expecting his baby it only makes him more determined to show her that he is and always has been the man for her.
Millie believes that she knows who Tanner is but she is about to realize that she couldn’t have been more wrong. Finding out she is pregnant has her nervous not only about the future but about how others will react, but she is about to find out that she won’t be alone either now or in the future.
The swoon factor of Tanner is off the charts as he shows with everything he does and says that Millie can count on him to be there for him while Millie realizes that opening her heart to love and a future with Tanner is a reward worth the risk.
