I swore off bikers and my familyβs motorcycle club, and enrolled in nursing to save lives instead of taking them.
When a rival club murders my father, my brother orders me to infiltrate and avenge him. Iβm the only one who can get close without being recognized.
Destroying my enemies from within wonβt be the hard part. Hiding my identity will be, and it wonβt be long until the Jackals discover my secret, and I wind up like my dad.

Whatever happens, one thing is clear: the Jackals are my damnation and my salvation, and Iβm going to burn in hell with them.

πReviewπ Savannah left town a decade earlier with no explanation or further contact with her best friend Hayes. She has now returned to settle her grandfatherβs estate however it will be more difficult than she thought when it requires her to be married. Needing a husband, she is conflicted about what to do especially once Hayes offers to do the deed as there was a reason she left years earlier.
Hayes isnβt sure what happened with Savannah as he feels like she abandoned him and she feels wronged by him as well. Seeing each other again will force them to face not only the past but the feelings between them that neither has acknowledged especially when they find themselves sharing live as a married couple.
Despite the time and emotional and physical distance between them Savannah and Hayes have always belonged together even if they allowed outside forces to come between them. She fits back in his life she has always been there and the same goes for the other characters in this series who play such an important part in each others lives.

I was content with being a bachelor, never planned on settling down. Why would I, when every woman in my life, starting with my own mother, always walked out and never looked back.
Β
I liked my strict Army lifeβall I needed after my deployment was a vacation and time with my dad.
Β
Then it all changedβ¦
Β
One beautiful songwriter.
Β
One chance meeting.
Β
One last first kiss.
Β
One smile.
Β
Her smile.
Β
That was all it took to captivate me and send my world spinning on its axis. After that, I knew Iβd never be the same.
Peyton has not had the best of luck when it comes to the women in his life, so he is content with his military career, his family, and his friends. When he meets Stacey, she inspires feelings in him that he has never felt before and seeing her only leaves him wanting more.
Music is a large part of Staceyβs life and she believed she was content with her life until she met Peyton. The romance between them is heartwarming as they realize how special what they share is.
The depth of the feelings between them or the fact that they were what the other was missing in their lives was never in question.

The couch was large, but so was Cole. He took up so much space that we were always sort of touching.
And I loved it. The comfort of his proximity helped push aside all the bullshit of the day.
Eventually, I leaned into him, my body sagging against his.
As I read, I soaked up his warmth and let his strength anchor me.
He knit, a peacefulness settling over my little cabin. Our little cabinβwhat was mine was now his, after all.
As my eyes drooped, I knew Iβd be paying for staying up too late if I didnβt get to sleep.
βI need to go to bed.β I stood and stretched wide.
As I turned, ready to head down the hall, he caught my hand, garnering my attention.
Even sitting, he was almost at my eye level. Slowly, he turned my wrist. Then he angled closer and gently pressed his lips to my pulse point.
I couldnβt breathe; I couldnβt speak. That simple gesture had my entire body screaming with pent-up desire.
He looked up at me, his lips inches from my skin, his dark eyes molten.
The look sent a shiver down my spine.
People tended to underestimate Cole, write him off as unserious or a clown.
But he possessed this intensity, this focus. And the closer we got, the more I saw of it.
My skin was on fire where his rough fingers touched me, and my insides were heating up too. I swore a primal need flashed in his eyes, causing my breath to hitch as I struggled to understand the sensations pummeling me from such minimal contact.
As quickly as desire hit, panic replaced it. Why was he holding my hand and looking at me like that? This was wrong. But was it? A wrist kiss was hardly a display of desire. Though with the way he watched me, it certainly felt like it was. The feel of his lips on my skin was not something Iβd ever forget. Never mind the fire in his eyes.
βEmmersyn,β I greet her, my voice coming out gruffer than I intended.
βCaleb,β she responds, her lips curving into a slight, almost challenging smile. The years might have changed us both, but the chemistryβthat electric pull between usβis still very much alive.
When I agreed to marry her, I didnβt think about anything beyond what she was offering. If Iβd taken a minute to really consider what I was getting myself into . . . well, things might have turned out differently. We didnβt marry for love. There wasnβt even any physical attractionβat least, thatβs what I told myself. It was just convenient at the time. But convenience screwed me over in more ways than I care to count. Thatβs not going to happen again. Not this time.
Why did it screw me over? Because as soon as we were married, I realized the chemistry between us was explosive. We were like two volatile elements, and when combined, we didnβt just igniteβwe detonated. Sometimes, the explosion was vibrant and thrilling, like when we kissed. Those kisses . . . they werenβt just sparks. They were all-consuming, the kind that left me breathless and wanting more, even when I knew better. Other times, the explosion was more like a nuclear meltdown, especially when we couldnβt see eye to eye. Our fights? They were legendary, the kind that left destruction in their wake.
Ethan, sensing the charged atmosphere, gives me a nod. βIβll leave you two to it,β he says, but not before adding with a smirk, βThe box of condoms is in the bathroom.β

Releasing: December 26, 2024
Cover Design: Najla Qamber, Qamber Designs
Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson.
Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookupβa cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokinβ hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice.
Heβs exactly what Iβm looking for. If only Wyatt wasnβt also my best friendβ¦
Iβm back in my hometown of Harstville, Texas, for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. While Iβm here, I hope to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer.
Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and Iβve been in love with him for almost as long. But heβs as wild and untamed as a colt that canβt be brokenβnot to mention, totally out of my league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation.
Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesnβt he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to realβ¦well, everything else.
And let me just say, the rumors are absolutely true.
Now, I want so badly to be Wyattβs last rodeo. But Iβm leaving town, and even if I wasnβt, Iβm not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways.
I know cowboys canβt be tamed. Apparently, neither can heartsβ¦

Letβs start here. The twelve days of Christmas are actually after the holiday.
And my dad, being the great guy he is, and the fire department’s battalion chief, signs up one of his rebellious firefighters for a retreat because of his bad behavior.
The guy is a total grouch.
But when the grumpy silver fox misses the bus for the adult redemption camp, Dad sticks him with me for twelve days.
Alone.
So, on the dozen days some mysterious true loveβwhich I have yet to experienceβshould be bringing me gifts, like French hens and golden rings, Iβm in charge of this firebird on our pear farm. Being the city man he is, he doesnβt have a clue how to can fruit, mend fences, or milk cows.
But he knows how to kiss . . .
Not that we should be doing such a thing. Only his silver beard is sexy, and his crooked smile kind of sweet. He has this alpha energy vibrating around his well-honed body but underneath the grumpy exterior is a man lonely for something more in his life, like me.
And instead of gifting each other random birds, leaping lords, and piping pipers, the gift we give one another is time . . . and our bodies.
But what about our hearts?
Maybe true love will strike after all.
A lot can happen in twelve days.
+ + +
In a new tradition from L.B. Dunbar comes another holiday hottie certain to heat up your holidays.
