Cursed in love, I thought I had to watch the woman I love drift through life without me.
One slow dance in a dark hole-in-the-wall biker bar seals the deal for me. I can’t keep my distance. Hiding in the shadows and watching her any way I can isn’t enough. Not when I need her more than I need to breathe.
Then she starts to leave me notes, giving me more of herself than I thought possible, and I know I have to claim what’s mine.
They say the Hart men aren’t meant to find their forever, but curses be damned.

🥵mutual yearning & pining
I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.
Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but I’ve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.
He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and he’s there. I need a ride, and he’s there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and he’s there with a sizzling kiss.
The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness
But secrets like mine don’t stay buried in small towns. If I don’t want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.
The moment we’ve been waiting for is almost here! If You Keep Me, the final installment in the Toronto Terror Series by Helena Hunting, is dropping next month.
Get ready for an irresistible age gap hockey romance that wraps up this beloved series with heart, heat, and unforgettable moments. 🏒🩰

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.
She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.
When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.
From USA Today best selling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying MMF, grumpy x sunshine x lightning, motorcycle club romance.
Isla
I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman I’d become.
Inheriting my Nanna’s rundown house is the fresh start I need.
A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take.
So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street…and offering me more than just help with renovations.
Shade
I’ve never thought I was worth loving.
I’m grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage.
Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy.
Men like me don’t get one great love, let alone two.
But I’m looking at Isla differently now…and wondering if there’s a way to love her without destroying what we’ve built.
Jackal
I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back.
He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice.
But now he’s looking at Isla the same way I am.
And I can’t stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other.
Until violence hits, and we don’t know which of us is the target.
We’ve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for.
Book boyfriends are for life. So are hot neighbors.
Olive
My hot new neighbor, Mason Hudson, has been following me.
He may also have someone tied up in his basement.
At least, that’s what I told the cops.
In my defense, I heard screaming.
How was I supposed to know it was his unhinged bird?
Now I’m the dramatic one, and Mason is walking around like the whole thing is hilarious.
Color me shocked when he asks me out.
I don’t say no.
Any man who willingly spends time in a romance bookstore is suspicious…and fascinating. I want answers.
What I get instead is scorching chemistry and a man who falls way harder than he lets on.
This was supposed to be curiosity.
Not temptation.
And definitely not serious feelings.
Mason
I’ve been accused of stalking, having someone tied up in the basement, and being a serial killer.
It’s only Tuesday.
And only one of those things is true.
But you can’t blame a man for following his neighbor when she looks like Olive Medlock. She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and funny as hell. I’ve been hooked since the day I moved in.
I didn’t expect her to call me out.
I really didn’t expect her to say yes to a date.
And I definitely didn’t expect to fall this hard.
Now all I have to do is convince her—and her savage little dog—that I’m not a threat.
I’m her future.
And just like the books she loves, what we’re writing together is forever.
Olive can’t deny how attractive her new neighbor is however between her dating history, the strange sounds coming from his home and the fact that he seems to always be showing up at the library where she works it makes her suspicious of him and his interest in her.
Mason was enchanted by Olive from their first meeting and the flirty banter they exchanged. He wants to convince her to go on a date with him however there are a few misunderstandings they must overcome including one involving the police arriving at his door.
This was such a fun story as every interaction between them is filled with humor and heat. Mason knows that they are meant to be together and he isn’t about to let anything stand in their way.
Five years ago, Brooks Saxton left me at the altar. Now I’m breaking into his billionaire fortress in the dead of night, desperate enough to steal from the man who once owned my heart.
He’s ruthless. Powerful. Untouchable.
I’m broke, disposable, and still haunted by the way he said I don’t.
When he catches me with my hands in his safe, I’m suddenly trapped between the man who destroyed me and everything I tried to forget—hate, need, and secrets sharp enough to draw blood.
He thinks I’m a mistake he buried. I know he’s my downfall.
But the man who ruined me still wants me.
And this time, walking away will cost us both everything.

A sexy Rivals to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Formula One romance from Amazon Top 50 bestselling author SJ Sylvis
Rome Pierce is Formula One’s golden boy—reckless, ruthless, and wrapped in an ego as polished as his race suit. Arrogance isn’t just a trait; it’s his personal trademark.
As the daughter of Vanstone Racing’s chairman, I’ve spent my life loathing everything about him—and the family name he carries. The rivalry between our teams runs deeper than lap times and podiums. It’s personal.
So when my father steps back for health reasons and hands me a front-line role, I don’t hesitate to prove to the world that I’m more than just the pretty Halston daughter in the paddock.
I plan to beat Rome Pierce fair and square.
Except the promotion comes with a catch I never saw coming.
Rome Pierce isn’t driving for his father anymore.
He’s driving for mine.
Now I’m the crew chief for the one man I swore I’d never work with—the rival who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Every race is a power struggle. Every briefing feels like a war. And somewhere between late nights in the garage and two hundred mile an hour battles on the circuit, the thin line between hatred and heat starts to blur.
I think Rome Pierce came here to overtake my team.
I just never expected him to also alter the course of my heart.

🏁Review🏁 Rome is a skilled driver, and not only does he know it but he isn’t shy about letting others know it as well. Circumstances unfold where he is no longer willing to drive for his father’s team so where else would he go but to their biggest rival where he needs to prove himself to everyone including Tessa.
Tessa has always been around racing since her father owns the team and her entire family is involved. She has recently undertaken the responsibility of head engineer and Rome is another complication as she must work closely with the man who was always her nemesis, but the working relationship is only the beginning.
The racing background adds another depth to this story which also includes entertaining interactions, humor, both the challenges and benefits of family and a heartfelt romance.
BLURB: Neutral Zone is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring an unconventional hockey hero and his live-life-to-the-fullest best friend who have to get honest with each other when life gets real.
I’ve fallen in love with my best friend. I know, I know. That’s a terrible idea, but it’s going to be fine because we have a plan. A best friends with benefits plan.
We’ll keep spending our days and nights together. We’ll keep cheering each other on and making each other laugh. We’ll keep staying up all night in my room, watching true crime documentaries the way besties do.
But now it’s going to get steamy. Very steamy.
In order to keep our friendship intact, boundaries have been set, and as long as we don’t cross the line, everything will be fine. Seriously. Trust me. It’s a great plan, and it’s all going to work out, and there’s zero chance that everything will go up in flames.
Although I do have a history of accidentally lighting things on fire…but really, that was just a couch. And a house. This is different. I swear.
Neutral Zone is the fourth and final book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you’re a sucker for a hot mess hero with a heart of gold and a feisty heroine who isn’t afraid to fight for the man she loves, then get ready for Mickey and Viv!

Each character-driven novel is filled with snappy dialogue, pop-culture references and enough steam to make you fan yourself. Kaylene weaves authenticity, emotion and angst into a turbulent rollercoaster ride of love, passion and soul-searing romance always ending with a delicious HEA.

He also can’t keep his eyes off me… And somewhere between the shootout and our escape, we accidentally get married! Now he’s insisting that I stay at his mansion, in his room, for my “safety.” Right…
I should run, call the cops, do literally anything but fall for the mob boss who keeps calling me “wife.” But how do you resist a gorgeous, infuriating, overprotective Pakhan who decided you’re his?
