BLURB:

When I decided to spend my summer in Silver Ridge, Colorado, I was looking for a new beginning. But I didn’t count on meeting Ashford O’Neal.

I’m the new music teacher who just signed a lease to share his building. He’s the grouchy martial arts instructor who wants me gone. Yet when he’s with his daughter, I see a whole new side of him that draws me in. Not to mention his tight T-shirts and all those muscles.

I’m determined to win him over with my sunny disposition. No matter how much he tries to scare me away with the permanent rain cloud over his head.

When an actual rainstorm leaves me stranded, Ashford takes me in. But he has darkness in his past. Secrets that could tear our new, fragile connection apart.

Because getting close to Ashford means digging up truths that some in Silver Ridge would kill to keep hidden.

Lex Martin has revealed the covers for Stealing Hearts!

Releasing January 30, 2025

A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?

I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he’s ten years older and my brother’s best friend. After a falling out, we didn’t speak for years–until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me “to safety.”

He’s grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I’m shocked to learn he’s in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won’t extend the funds unless he’s married. Only Rhett’s now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again.  

When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can’t afford to catch feelings for a man who won’t see me that way.

But spending time at the ranch reminds me how much is at stake–the family business, the welfare of Rhett’s children, and the happiness of a man I’ve always longed for. 

Rhett says we’ll keep things platonic in private, even though I’ll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses to mix business with pleasure.

Except when the lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.

Would it be so bad to fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?

One thing’s for sure–the clock is ticking on our divorce.

Stealing Hearts is an age gap, marriage of convenience, single dad romance. If you enjoy grumpy cowboys, sweet but sassy heroines, a family of rowdy brothers, and secretive small towns, this book is for you!

Hush little lady, don’t say a word…

Sasha Bough has always been the quiet type, and that’s exactly how her family wants her to remain. When a tragic incident rocked her childhood, she was left with two options: never speak of what happened or suffer the consequences. When Sasha reaches the age of nineteen, then tension in her family rises when she still hasn’t secured a husband. It’s not always easy for the quietest person in the room to gain attention until that attention comes in unwanted ways.

When an unprompted attack interrupts the silence, Prince Alaric takes an interest in Sasha’s family and the events surrounding the trouble. Sasha knows he only wants to help, but the more he digs into her family’s past, the riskier being near him becomes. He shouldn’t be too difficult to push away, except that she may need his protection after all… After the attack, she learns that someone knows her secret and they’re willing to do anything to silence her.

If her secret is revealed, she’s as good as dead, and if she can’t find whoever is targeting her, they’ll simply kill her first. With a prince willing to help keep her safe, does she dare let him get close to her? Or is she better off staying hushed?

Sandro becomes the enemy, and she wishes for him to burn in hell like the rest of his family.

Sandro Rossi has too much blood on his hands.

“Do you know what I’m wondering, Tennessee? I’m wondering if you ever stop giving long enough to let someone return the favor?”

–

His words landed on a sore spot deep inside. I’d had to accept help after being shot, and maybe having it forced on me was the reason I was so determined to stand on my own now, why I hadn’t told my family my plans. But instead of saying any of that, I did what I thought we both needed. I lightened the mood, smiling up at him and saying, “I think I was on the receiving end of a lot of gifts last night. Two at least.”

–

“Four.”

–

I raised a brow playfully. “Was it four I’m not sure I remember. Maybe I fell asleep. Or maybe you thought you anted up and didn’t pay out.”

–

He let out a savage growl before slanting his HMMM over mine in a brutal K–ss. 

–

“You ready to back that little taunt with a wager, Tennessee?” His voice was low and dark. “How long do you think you’ll last before you b3g for relief?”

–

“Maybe you’ll be the one b3gging, Slick.”

–

He devoured me again in a way that had every particle yearning for more of what he’d given me last night. Just as m0-an escaped me, he stepped away, grinning down wickedly with a look that promised sin and salvation. “How about I just leave you to think about it, shall I?” 

–

I stepped inside my bedroom, pulled his borrowed shirt from my body, and tossed it at him.

–

“How about I leave you thinking about this.” I waved a hand over my BIRTHDAYSUIT and then closed the door in his face.

Face Me Off by Kimberly Readnour is now live!

From Best Selling Author Kimberly Readnour comes a new enemy-to-lovers sports romance in the Cessna U Hockey series!

This steamy, forbidden hockey romance is a gripping story of love, ambition, and the courage to chase what matters most.

She’s the temptation I can’t escape, no matter the cost.

Maddy Grimes wants to shed her good-girl image, and somehow, I’ve become the guy to help her do it.

The problem?

She hates my guts. And who can blame her after what I did?

Her family is about to crush everything my dad and I have worked for, yet … I can’t stay away. One heated mistake turns into a pact we swear will stay secret.

But the more time I spend with Maddy, the harder it is to pretend this is just a frenemy-with-benefits fling. She’s chaos to my discipline, temptation to my control, and the one thing I want more than the future I’ve been fighting for.

When secrets unravel and loyalty is tested, I’ll have to choose: protect my family or risk everything for the girl who has the power to ruin or save me.

Falling for Maddy could cost me my dreams. Letting her go might cost me everything.

Book Two in the Cessna U Hockey series, Face Me Off, is an enemy-to-lover, forbidden hockey romance featuring a slow burn that sizzles from the first chapter. If you like hot hockey men with big-sized packages to back their claims, click to add Ryan Sorensen.

🏒Review🏒

Maddy was raised in an affluent family and has always done what was expected of her. She is hoping that college will be her opportunity to follow her own dreams and become the woman she wants rather than the woman others want her to be. She knows that she should keep her distance from Ryan because of their pasts but her heart doesn’t agree.

Ryan’s upbringing was very different from Maddy’s and he feels the expectation from his father as well. Their families share a tumultuous past which makes the relationship and feelings that Maddy and Ryan complicated but some things are meant to be.

Ryan and Maddy see each other for who they are and are there for each other as they pursue what will truly make each other happy which includes each other.

There’s a storm coming… and he’s not taking no for an answer.

Life has dealt Kasi one blow after another. Following her mother’s untimely death, her family implodes, leaving her alone to run the farm. Fatigue and stress have become her new best friends, every day passing in a blur of work, work, and more work. When Levi Storm, her lifelong crush, keeps her from face-planting due to exhaustion, she’s mortified…and more than a little bit turned on.

A person could set a clock by Levi’s daily routine, right down to his afternoon trip to the Mills’ farm market to buy one of Kasi’s delicious pies. He’s known Kasi her entire life, so when the beautiful young woman faints in front of him, coming to in his arms, Levi is stunned by the sudden realization that she’s meant to be his, and he’s prepared to move heaven and earth to claim her.

Kasi should at least try to shake the sexy new six foot five shadow she’s acquired, but Levi’s much-needed help around the farm, his comfort as she struggles with grief, and his breath-stealing kisses are reigniting the hope and happiness she’s lost.

Until reality crashes in again, forcing her to choose between the dominant, possessive, amazing man who makes her heart race and her family’s beloved farm.

🧡Review🧡
Ever since her mother has passed away, she is trying to deal with her group while keeping the family farm viable with no support. It has begun to take its toll on her emotionally and physically however no one seems to notice until Levi, her best friend’s cousin, comes to her aid during a moment of weakness.

Levi makes a visit to Kasi’s family farm daily which has created a friendship between them. When he sees what she has been going through it raises all his protective instincts and forces him to face his true feelings for her which include helping her out of the situation she finds herself in so that they can have the future they both want.

Kasi has always put others first with her needs coming a distant second so it is great to see Levi show her that she could depend on him. The chemistry between them is intense and I enjoyed seeing her open her heart to him and their love.

BLURB:

Brick Wall is a college hockey romance with a hero who falls hard and fast for the one girl he can’t have.

JT

Life hasn’t always been easy, but things are beginning to look up. I’m the starting goalie for the BU Wolves, Coach Baylor has become the family I have always wanted as a kid, and my dream career is waiting for me. All I need to do is defend my net for the next few seasons so I can prove to the Boston Bruisers that they drafted me for a reason. That’s a pretty bright future for a man with a past like mine.

When I hit up a party with a bunch of my roommates, I never expected to fall hard. But from that night on, it’s out of my control. Maggie Baylor is the one for me, no matter how much she tries to deny it.

Just when I think we’re getting somewhere, she ghosts me. But there’s one thing Maggie doesn’t understand: I’m not letting anything or anyone—not even Coach—stand in our way.

Maggie

As a transfer student, I have one goal: finish my senior year without any drama. And, ok…I may have lost sight of that goal before the year officially started. But that’s not my fault—Hottie Gym Shorts Guy was…well, hot. And sweet. And so very talented. That’s why I bolted the next morning. I didn’t move back home to fall in lust or worse, love. I came back to Bainbridge to spend time with my Uncle Hudson and earn my degree.

Besides, there won’t be any drama because I’m never going to see him again.

Except I do. We just keep running into each other. It’s fine, though. I can resist.

Until I can’t. JT is crumbling all my defenses. I’m on the verge of letting myself fall in love, even if I know my uncle will disapprove, when two little pink lines appear. I brace myself for impact because the only thing I know about love is that it doesn’t last.

But JT doesn’t leave my side. He slays my dragons and rubs my feet and makes me reconsider everything I thought I knew.

Is this really something I can believe in, or will our world come crashing down just when we need each other the most?

***

Brick Wall is the third book in the Bainbridge U hockey series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love a stoic hero who’ll do anything to protect the woman he loves and the family they’ve created, no matter who tries to stop him, JT Norris will melt your kindle. If you can’t resist a jaded heroine who learns to trust again, Maggie Baylor is your kinda girl. If you want all the laughs, all the feels, and every single bit of steam, and no third act break-up, then settle in with your favorite snack—Maggie recommends dark chocolate peanut butter cups—and dive into this forbidden love, surprise baby college hockey romance.
