Dane Greathouse brings twenty-five thousand people to their feet—chanting his name like he’s God.
I admit, I’m one of them.
But I dream of him chanting and panting my name too.
Lettie:
Since second grade when Dane used to pull my hair and chase me around the art table, we’ve ben inseparable.
The only girl at his birthday parties. The only boy allowed in my room. Camping. Swimming. Riding. You name it, we’ve done it together, except the one thing.
How can I focus on punching my ticket to the Olympics and earning a gold medal in Equestrian if I can’t get Dane out of my head and into bed? But I owe him my life and I can’t wreck it on a whim…an uncontrollable feeling.
Dane:
We’re graduating this year and if it goes as planned, I’ll be off to the NBA.
I’ve had it all mapped out since I was ten to have Lettie by my side. And now I want so much more. Unfortunately, she can’t take a hint and rather than lose my best friend, I watch my teammates make her blush.
When I finally make my move, will fear of losing two decades of friendship keep us from stepping out of bounds from best friends to lovers? Or will we stand on the line, look at the basket and shoot to win it all?
My brother’s best friend brought me back, but nothing was the same. I can’t remember what happened. My parents dragged me away from my island home in the name of keeping me safe, and thrust me into hell instead.
I came back to Hatterwick to rebuild my life and–hopefully–my memory.
Now a new inheritance threatens to expose those long buried secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to ensure I never remember what really happened that fateful night.
The only thing standing between me and whoever wants to hurt me is a marriage of protection with the boy who saved me–now a man grown and determined to keep me safe at all costs.
But what began as protection turns into more. Because he’s the key to unlocking what hides in the shadows of my mind, which will either save or damn us both.
Now that an injury has forced him to leave the Navy Sawyer has returned to his hometown where he will reunite with Willa, his best friend’s sister. He was there to rescue her from a dangerous situation and when the danger escalates around her once again, he will do anything to protect the woman he has always loved and that includes marriage.
Willa has a painful past which was only made more painful by the way she was treated in the aftermath. She returned to her hometown years earlier and has created a new life for herself but that appears to now be in jeopardy. She knows she needs to uncover the secrets of the past, but those memories could also be her downfall if Sawyer is unable to keep her safe.
Neither time, distance nor the past has diminished the feelings between them however if they are going to have a future together, they will need to eliminate the threat in the present.
Meet Harper Jackson:
Harper Jackson has rescued her co-workers from a hostage situation, battled ninjas, and stopped international espionage—in her head anyway. Now that she’s no longer busy devising ways to make staff meetings more entertaining, she’s pouring that imagination into tales of breath-stealing, small-town romantic suspense. She believes that peach cobbler with ice cream is the best dessert ever and has a black belt in taekwondo to back it up. She lives in the Deep South with her husband and three canine furbabies.

🛳Review🛳 Casey’s goal is to become a travel journalist however she finds herself stagnated in her current position with the magazine where she works. Facing nothing but challenges, both personally and professionally, to ensure she gets the assignment of interviewing the CEO while on a Caribbean cruise she claims a relationship with him that one might say is exaggerated.
Philip is a successful businessman who has a past with Casey that he would like to forward even if it happened two decades ago. He has no intention of being interviewed by anyone but especially Casey however he soon realizes the sparks of animosity between them are only a cover for feelings that run much deeper.
Humorous banter, a less-than-ideal past and feelings and chemistry that neither expected is sure to entertain as what begins as a battle of wills evolves into so much more.
Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil.
If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on.
When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.
Then he’ll walk away, and I can walk down the aisle with my fiancé. Or I can say no and watch everything I’ve worked so hard for fall apart.
There’s only one answer I can afford to give him. But he knows everything about me—every hurt, every secret, and every single weakness I have, including him.
And while Ramsey might want me, his brothers want him back in the family business.
If there’s one universal truth in this town, it’s that Stockton men stop at nothing to get what they want.
✨TEASER: SOMEONE YOU DESERVE by @harlowjamesauthor is coming October 4th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow & Vanessa Edwin!
Rule number one of bro-code: exes, sisters—and of course, wives—are off-limits.
Don’t think about them and sure as hell don’t kiss them.
But what if your best friend dies, and suddenly you want the woman who has always been his?
Four years ago my childhood friend lost his life serving our country, and Astrid and her kids became my responsibility.
But before I knew it, something started to shift between us.
Her smile started to make my stomach twist. Our conversations gave me something to look forward to. And working with her made me appreciate just how strong she truly was.
But then one night, I did the one thing I shouldn’t have but couldn’t fight any longer—I kissed her.
She pushed me away, told me it was a mistake, and begged me to forget it ever happened.
And then she shoved me deep and fully into the friendzone, where I’ve resided since then.
Until one instance changes everything and I know for certain she’s the woman I want.
Just when I think we’re on the same page, a secret from our past threatens to destroy our future.
I shouldn’t want my best friend’s widow. I shouldn’t care what other people think.
But in the end, the only thing that matters is being someone Astrid deserves, and I’ll stop at nothing until she believes that too.
Kendall Hale is a daydreamer and a bookworm with a dangerous addiction to chocolate and wine.
At night, she’s a fiery wordsmith with a penchant for creating romantic mayhem with a lot of heat. She believes in the power of laughter, love in its messiest form, and the magic of happily ever afters.
When she’s not crafting swoony, steamy stories, Kendall can be found at home with her family, including her adorable furry companions. She loves experimenting with new recipes, watching movies, and losing herself in her favorite books while music plays in the background.
Blurb:
She’s a corporate lawyer; he’s a carefree bodyguard. When their worlds collide, sparks fly in ‘About That One Night’—a romantic comedy about opposites attracting in the most delightful way.
Life doesn’t always go as planned, but sometimes, that’s where the magic happens.
Enter me: Zoe Harper.
Let me tell you, life has a funny way of flipping you upside down when you least expect it.
Case in point: I’m currently packing up my life into cardboard boxes after leaving my long-term, commitment-phobic ex-boyfriend.
Just when I think things can’t get worse, I find myself at a destination wedding with a grumpy but ridiculously handsome bodyguard, Maximillian McCallister.
Max and I have always been frenemies: he’s annoyingly charming, and I’m just trying to figure out my next move without losing my mind.
But one night, fueled by tequila and maybe a little bit of spite, we end up having the most incredible one-night stand. It changes everything.
Now I’m back in Boston, trying to figure out my new life with my meddling family, my stressful career, and stupidly hot Max popping up everywhere I go.
He’s infuriatingly perfect, and did I mention he’s my brother-in-law’s best friend? Yeah, it’s complicated. Even before factoring in the positive pregnancy test that flips my world upside down.
💜Review💜 Zoe isn’t certain what the future will hold but the one thing she does know if that she wasn’t fulfilled by her relationship with her ex. That certainly didn’t mean she was ready to jump into another relationship and she certainly never expected that the night she spent with Max would like to a cataclysmic change in her life that will include a child and connect their lives forever.
Max has had feelings for Zoe for a while, but he has always respected the fact that she is in a relationship. As that is no longer the case the pursuit is on as he shows her what love and romance really means while giving her the support and time for her to realize it as well.
Zoe and Max were so much fun together and when life threw them a curveball with an unexpected pregnancy it will force them to face their feelings for each and the life they want.
What We Keep by Jennifer Millikin is now live in audio!
Narrated by: Victoria Dickson & Wesley Mercer
Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin delivers an emotional and riveting love story.
Charming and heroic, there’s nothing about Gabriel Woodruff that Avery Burke doesn’t love. His warm brown eyes, his generosity, that small scar above his lip. The newspaper photo of him carrying her from a burning home only adds to the romance of it all.
A fairytale beginning and a picture-perfect marriage practically guarantees Avery and Gabriel a ride into the sunset. But every relationship has flaws, and what they ignored while they were busy being flawless eventually surfaces. The unraveling begins with the smallest tug on the tiniest string.
Their fall is spectacular, the kind that makes the paper.
When the fairytale goes up in smoke, Avery and Gabriel are forced to ask themselves hard questions.
What does for better or worse really mean? Is this their second chance at a once-in-a-lifetime love? What do we keep, when we lose it all?
Jennifer Millikin is a bestselling author of fifteen contemporary romance and women’s fiction novels. She is the two-time recipient of the Readers Favorite Gold Star Award, and readers have called her work “emotionally riveting” and “unputdownable”.
Following a viral TikTok video with over fourteen million views, Jennifer’s third novel, Our Finest Hour, has been optioned for TV/Film. She lives in the Arizona desert with her husband, children, and Liberty, her Labrador retriever.
From their first meeting Gabriel was Avery’s hero when he saved her from a fire. The feelings they had for each other were immediate and falling in love was a fait accompli. She thought that nothing could impact the love they shared however nothing is perfect and expecting that of the person you love could have devastating consequences.
Gabriel loved Avery with his whole heart but with the difficulties he has faced in the past and the present sometimes not even love is enough. He made serious mistakes, but the one constant was his love for Avery. He made the only choice he thought he could at the time but when fate brings them back together can they overcome the pain of their past and have a second chance?
The way this story is told as it relates to what happened regarding her relationship with Gabriel, both the good and the bad, only has you more invested in the characters. The performance of the narrators will only immerse you more deeply in the story as they bring out every heartfelt emotion.

She’s the one night stand I never forgot. And now her dad is about to marry my mom.
It has to be some kind of cosmic joke, right? For once, I feel like I’ve got my life together—good job, great friends, a fresh start in a new place. I’ve been on my best behavior for ages. At last, everything’s coming up Javier.
Until the moment I walk into my stepdad’s house and meet his daughter.
I should say: I meet her again. Madeline and I have already met. It was one night, two years ago. A quick, casual hookup that had no right to be as mind-blowing as it was. I haven’t stopped thinking about it–or her–ever since.
But our parents are getting married, so under no circumstances should we sleep together again.
Or… again. Or one more time after that, just to get it out of our systems.
Madeline’s funny, fiery, and so gorgeous with her pink hair and nerdy tattoos that I can barely look at her without breaking into a sweat. But she has too much going on to be interested in commitment, and God knows I’m a bad boyfriend candidate.
Once the wedding’s over, we’ll be normal stepsiblings who don’t have sex with each other, and Thanksgiving won’t be awkward at all.
Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say.
However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money.
I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life.
Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters. He loves his siblings. He works hard. He owns an honest business. Honest, the emphasis here. He also suffers from damsel-in-distress syndrome with a savior complex for lost causes, like stray animals and down-and-out women.
And I have a secret crush on him.
When I see Clay stranded on the side of the road one dark, stormy night, I stop to offer assistance. Burning with fever, Clay is sick, and my mom-instincts kick in to give him comfort. That decision throws me off course again. While my past lurks everywhere, I find myself falling in love with Sterling Falls once more and falling harder for the man giving my son and me a safe haven.
Love is a risk, according to Clay, but he’s slowly rescuing my heart while I’m saving his.
I’ve always been the feisty sidekick who’s up for anything. I don’t need to be the main attraction. I’m fine being the fun girl who always has a hot take on a good time.
For instance, the night I sneak into the Chicago Racketeers New Year’s Eve Party, I find myself trapped in an elevator with a gorgeous grump of a hockey player, before we’re rescued by a sexy fireman who catches Mr. Hockey’s hand in my . . . shapewear.
Talk about hot.
But the temperature only rises from there.
Turns out, the grouchy goalie needs a fake fiancée to earn his inheritance. I’m not real girlfriend material (my ex was clear about that), but I agree to help him out with the temporary farce.
Then I run into my ex-boss—the one I shared a steamy kiss with just before I quit. I’d forgotten how devastatingly dirty and charming the British golden retriever billionaire can be. And that cinnamon roll firefighter? He wants me too.
Did I mention he and my billionaire are also into each other?
Each of them makes me feel desired and adored, but when it’s all four of us together we’re absolutely on fire.
Good thing this is only until the inheritance is finalized and my billionaire goes back to London. This could never last for long without someone getting burned.
You’ve met both Elise and Racketeers goalie, Blake Wilder in previous books, and now it’s their turn to heat things up (with two other sexy, charming heroes, of course!) If you like your romance with extra spice and lots of laughs, then Why Choose with Emma Foxx!
EXCERPT:Aiden Langfield is getting married. Aiden Langfield, who I haven’t spoken to in over ten years, is getting married. And I’m planning his wedding. Tell me the universe doesn’t have a wicked sense of humor.
Kind of like mine. Sarcastic and loud.
“Jillian Murgo,” the woman sitting primly beside my Aiden says.
Not your Aiden, Lennox. You can’t be territorial over a man you haven’t even spoken to in a decade.
“Of course.” I paint on the perfect smile. The one I’ve perfected over the last twenty-nine years. The one my family expects me to wear to uphold our reputation. “What an exciting time. Tell me about yourselves. How’d you meet? What’s the proposal story?”
Did he tell you that I was his first kiss? That he promised I’d be his only kiss? That we once meant everything to one another?
Aiden’s lip quirks into what I know is his true smile, as if he can read my internal ramblings, but he tamps it down quick.
“Oh, where to even begin?” the woman next to him says. Her voice is slightly nasal, just like her face. Seriously, her schnoz could give Pinocchio a run for his money.
“Yes, where?” I place my hands on the desk in front of me, keeping my eyes on her. If I look at Aiden, I’m liable to have a heart attack.
Aiden Langfield is getting married. The only man who ever held even a tiny piece of me—the jokester, the romantic, the man I truly believed at one point would be my endgame—married.
How did we get here? My internal voice suddenly sounds like thirteen-year-old me, and judging by the venom in her whispered words, she isn’t happy with what I’ve done with our life.
“We’ve been together for almost three years,” she explains, nudging the man next to her.
In response, he gives her a wide-eyed look that I interpret as what do you want me to add?
Swati M.H. has revealed the covers for Pretend For Me!
Releasing September 26, 2024
I botched a broody billionaire’s haircut, and what did he ask from me in repayment? That I become his fake fiancée!
In my defense, my new migraine meds had packed quite the drowsy punch that morning. One minute I was trimming his GQ-worthy locks, and the next, I’d given him a side shave that would make a Marine jealous.
Fast forward through a ticked-off Dev Menon storming out of my salon, threatening legal action, and I’m thinking the day couldn’t get worse.
Except it does . . .
Dev returns hours later with a wild proposition, “Marry me. Temporarily.”
Turns out his mother’s dying wish is to see him get hitched, and I’m the lucky girl who owes him a debt. The catch? I also have to move in with him to really sell the ruse.
Soon enough, I’m realizing my career isn’t the only thing on the line with my hot-as-Hades fiancé. My heart is, too.
So, I counter with a wilder proposition: a purely physical relationship with three simple rules. No kissing, no sleepovers, and definitely no falling in love.
Except, the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to stick to my rules. Dev’s charm, his skilled hands, and his enormous . . . heart are testing my resolve. Even my traitorous cat is smitten.
Did I get more than I bargained for, or am I about to lose this very hairy game of pretend?
