Enter Bones, her leather-clad, tattooed neighbor with a talent for custom bikes and a roguish grin that’s as distracting as the view she has of him from her kitchen window.

As they race to make deliveries together, the sparks between them burn hotter than her oven, and Snow begins to wonder if her sweetest holiday treat might just be Bones himself.

It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.
After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that, so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.
Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.
Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.
He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.

With the help of Seb she manages to extricate herself from one situation but there is a lot more to overcome as her memory returns and she is uncertain if she can trust anyone including Seb or if she can only count on herself.
Seb has a tumultuous past of his own and continues to deal with family drama. He is determined to protect Elyse from everyone and everything and that includes herself even if she makes that very difficult at times.
Elyse shows how strong and resilient she is while Seb continues to be dark and dangerous with everyone except for Elyse. Even though they were brought together under difficult conditions they prove they are each other’s equal in every way.
About JL Beck:
Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.
She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam.
Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks.
Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers.
She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.
As the rookie catcher of the Daytona Fury, I have a lot to prove. Not only do I need to be perfect on the field, but I’m doing it all while fulfilling a promise to the woman who raised me. Graduating college was never as important to me as it was to my grandma, but I gave her my word that I’d finish, even though my future in the majors was sealed. When I find out I need one more class—one I know nothing about—I decide to hire a tutor to help me through it. But as soon as we get into our lessons, I realize I want her to teach me much more than the curriculum suggests.
LARK

When I find myself without a job because they don’t want me switching to a “less respectable career”, I’m stuck paying for my own tuition to make my dreams come true. So when a side gig tutoring the city’s hottest professional baseball player in his Human Sexuality class lands in my lap, I take it, not expecting to feel all sorts of conflicting emotions once I get to know him. Ace Mathers may be ten years younger than me, but he’s determined to show me how to live.
C.L. Rose is a wife and mother of two. She lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband, son, daughter, and dog, Tank. When she isn’t writing, you can find her reading in front of a space heater, wrapped in a thick blanket, probably complaining that she’s cold.
Arranged-marriage, love triangle, forbidden Mafia/cartel romance
Reinaldo Roríguez.
Emiliano Ruiz.
Both dangerous, deadly, and powerful. Both second-generation soldiers proving themselves in the Roríguez cartel. Both, forbidden.
I try not to think about how when I’m near them, the air crackles and my skin warms with stinging electricity, stirring something deep inside me that never before existed. I’d have to be blind not to notice their bulging muscles, sharp jawlines, and strikingly dark stares. However, it’s their deep voices that call to me in my dreams, waking me in a sweat, wondering which one I’ll answer.
Even in slumber I’m torn between them.
It’s all a fantasy.
There will never be anything between either one of them and me. A war is coming to our world, brought to the Luciano famiglia because of the alliance with the Roríguez cartel. Dario Luciano, my guardian, wants me far away from Kansas City, safe and secure.
To disobey him would be my first mistake.
Falling for either of the two hottest men I’d ever known would be my second.
Besides, I’m Jasmine Renner. The cartel would never approve of me, a stray without the last name Luciano, to marry one of their princes. I’m not a Mafia princess and life isn’t a fairy tale.
It’s best for me to go back to university in New York and forget about both of them.
If the cartel demands a second bride from the famiglia, would they want me, a stray? Which man would I chose? Will the choice be mine? Or will this war destroy everything we know?

Once Upon a Christmas Tree by Lulu Moore is now live in audio!
Narrated by: CJ Bloom and Shane East
A swoony, one night stand, holiday, vacation romance by bestselling author Lulu Moore
Alexander, Lord Burlington, hates the holidays.
But duty calls. This year he’s willing to set his feelings aside for the sake of his eldest brother who’s just been left at the altar – sending shockwaves through British high society – as they escape London for the snow capped mountains of Aspen.
However, it soon becomes obvious that Colorado in December wasn’t the best place to go for someone who usually out-grinches The Grinch.
Haven Wylder has spent the last four years paying off debts her parents left when they died. Between working on her ranch, or in her Christmas store and taking on every other job she can, there’s been no time for fun. But if there’s one thing guaranteed to put a smile on her face it’s the holidays and the annual gingerbread decorating competition.
What she wasn’t expecting was the tall, handsome stranger with the accent to die for who,*gasp*, hates Christmas.
It doesn’t take long for Haven to start changing Alex’s mind. It has nothing to do with her berry red lips and glossy caramel curls tumbling down her back, or her big doe eyes as green as the Christmas trees she’s selling. Or the way she fills out her jeans.
None at all.
Alexander will never not despise Christmas, but a fling with Haven Wylder might be just the thing to make it a little more bearable. That is… if he can leave her and their unforgettable connection behind.
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 hear 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🎧 To support his brother Alexander agrees to a Christmas trip to Aspen that includes him and his three brothers even if Christmas is a season that he would rather avoid due to this past. When he meets Haven, the sparks fly and now he goes from wanting the trip to be over to spending as much time with her as he can.
Despite the losses she has endured Haven embraces the holiday season and everything that goes along with including the Christmas tree farm she owns and the bakery that features a gingerbread decorating contest that she manages. Even though she knows that Alexander’s stay is temporary that doesn’t diminish the connection between them.
The is a great start to a new series. Even though Alexander and Haven are very different due to their lifestyles and their view of Christmas they have more in common than they realize and the heat between them radiates off the pages. I adored the performance by the narrators including the swoony English accent for Alexander.
Where love melts the ice and holiday magic casts its spell. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.
Hannah Young is on the run. Her life was never made from a bed of roses, but she’s always endured and made the best of it until that is no longer possible.
It’s up to her. To save herself. To start living.
There is nobody else who will save her. It’s time to escape—for good.
Hannah can’t go another year living in turmoil. With only a week until Christmas, she knows she can’t face another year of regret.
There is no such thing as a knight in shining armor.
Alexei Bocharov loves the game. Hockey is his passion, but has also afforded him a life that he could have only dreamed of as a kid in Russia.
Until the accident. Now, his future is uncertain. His future hanging by a thread.
When he hears the sound of crunching metal outside, the sight in front of him is not what he expects. A wrecked car with a woman slumped in the front seat. In a world where dreams are shattered, and hearts are guarded, can two broken souls find healing in each other?
Hey there! I’m Hayley James. I’m an established romance author who has decided to have some fun writing in a different genre! I hope that you’ll come along with me for this new adventure. I know it’s going to be a sweet, sexy, fun ride… that is, between the pages, at least!
Born in a small farming community, I spent my childhood dreaming up wild stories while playing with my Barbie dolls.
I started my publishing journey in 2015, and I have not stopped. I’ve self-published over ninety books and have several series translated into foreign languages. I am so excited to bring this new-to-me-genre to life!
When I’m not writing, I spend my days being a professional chauffeur for my teenage sons and all of their activities which include robotics, golf, swimming, and music lessons, to name a few!
So, please sit back, relax, and enjoy the possessive alpha male ride!
