Our deal was simple. One night. Fake names. No strings attached.
Until it turns out he’s my new boss…
I couldn’t believe my luck when I got sent to a work conference in Hawaii. Living the dream after years of pulling myself up by my bootstraps.
The sand, the palm trees and the blue water were straight out a romantic fantasy.
So was the guy at the beachfront bar, let’s be honest. Blue eyes. Broad-shouldered in his business suit but with a rough-around-the-edges swagger and a filthy mouth.
We laughed and had a night of crazy passion that enlightened me in every possible way. I understood what dreams coming true might actually feel like.
And then I left without saying goodbye.
That was two months ago and I’ve mostly been able to put him out of my mind. I’ve been busy landing my dream job in New York City.
Imagine my surprise when my new boss turns out to be Mr. Dirty Talking Swagger.
He’s been thinking about me too, he says, his blue eyes dancing. He’s been searching for me since that night. And he wants to see me in his office…

Love is always in the cards in Starrycard Creek, Colorado.
Isabelle’s not in the market for a relationship—not even close. But she can’t stop thinking about her one-night stand with a stranger on his birthday.
The rules were simple: one night of unbridled passion, no names, and all the cake.
Kieran wasn’t looking for anything more than a fling.
And then he saw Isabelle and found his birthday wish.
What he didn’t expect was for his mystery woman to stroll into his hometown of Starrycard Creek, Colorado, as . . .
His rival.
Now, he’s stuck with her night and day.
As they battle over the future of the town, the stakes become higher when a ruthless developer eyes the quaint mountain abode and jeopardizes everything Kieran and Isabelle hold dear.
The locals say love is always in the cards in Starrycard Creek. When it comes to Isabelle and Kieran, one thing is clear. What started as a one-night stand might be the twist of fate that saves the town and sparks a love that could last a lifetime.
💙Review💙 When Izzy finds herself in a precarious situation professionally, she decides to pursue the career opportunity in Starry Creek. She decides to spend one night with a sexy stranger never expecting to see him again however fate had other ideas as not only will she see him again, but they will also have to work together.
Kieran has spent his life trying to adapt to what other people would consider usual so the news he received may have been unexpected but understandable. Spending his birthday with Izzy was an experience he wasn’t about to forget however a repeat wasn’t part of the plan until she not only shows up in his town but in his life as well.
Even if he doesn’t believe love or a relationship is his destiny, he couldn’t have been more wrong while Izzy appreciates him for the man he is and not his perception of himself. Kieran and Izzy were so much fun together and were exactly what the other needed in their lives.

Brooke loves connecting with readers and hopes you’ll join her on her social pages or reader group to stay in touch.
🏈Review🏈 At first glance you might think there isn’t anything redeeming about Hayes, but you couldn’t be more wrong. He may be a talented football player but the way he plays isn’t always viewed positively and then there is his reputation when it comes to the rest of his life. He needs to show that there is more to him than his reputation and that begins with Everly even if she challenges him at every turn.
Everly has dreams of becoming a romance writer and doesn’t revere football players the way most of her fellow students do. Her interactions with Hayes are less than cordial so when he suggests that they pretend to be a couple she has her reservations but agrees. She thought she knew what to expect of the arrangement, but she is about to find out she couldn’t have been more wrong.
The feisty and fiery side of Everly is a perfect match for protective side of Hayes. The physical connection between them is intense but it is the way that they are there for each other through every challenge that makes their relationship that much stronger and reinforces that they are meant to be.
One year ago, billionaire bachelor, Jack Sloan, left me at the altar and ghosted me. But now he’s back in my small-town acting as if he never met me.
Look, I get it. I’m just a nobody. A small-town girl who lives in the tiniest house in the state of Virginia with her sister and a stray dog that won’t stop stalking me.
I’d probably ghost me, too.
But, and that’s a BIG but. He promised to love me forever. Swore I was the only one for him. Then, on the day of our wedding, he never showed.
Now that I am finally over him, he strolls out of the coffee shop and looks at me as if I am nothing.
My sister and my friends were there for me on my wedding day, helping me dry my tears. But today, I am relying on them to help me… get revenge.
Two simple words hold the truth of our love: wait and hope.
Olivia
Rhys Garrett—recent high school graduate, ex-captain of the basketball team, and my brother’s rival both on and off the court.
Oh, and he’s also the guy I just hit with my truck.
Awesome.
To be fair, he had it coming.
Why else was he dressed in all black, in the middle of the night, if not to hide out amongst the darkness?
Rhys
I wasn’t looking where I was going or what was around me. I didn’t even see the headlights. Just felt the impact. And I thought, as strange as it was, that getting hit by a car may be the best thing that could’ve happened to me.
Until I opened my eyes…
…and she told me her name.
***
Some might call it fate, destiny, kismet…
A collision of souls.
One night.
One chance encounter.
The problem?
One night wasn’t enough.
But the more time we spent together, the more truths came to light.
And soon, we’d discover that what we once thought was meant to be…
When love melts the ice, numbers fade into the background. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.
Lorelai Hollis dreams of finishing college, getting a decent job, and not much else. Numbers are what she knows best. They are her life and future.
Numbers are predictable.
They are stable.
They are constant.
When a whole houseful of drop-dead-gorgeous men move in across the street, she knows she doesn’t stand a chance with any of them, not when they see the goddess roommates she lives with.
So why try?
Redd Tillman is the newest contracted player with the North Carolina Fury AHL hockey team and is well on his way to the NHL.
He doesn’t do complicated.
He doesn’t do dating.
His focus is only on the ice.
Everything else is just white noise.
That is… until his new neighbor catches his eye, a breathtaking pocket-sized hottie who wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and yet, he must have her.
You’d think reporters could focus on the important things in the world. But they loved to write about me, Jimmy Hall, the best pitcher in the league . . . especially when I got caught screwing up.
Thanks to the incriminating pictures from my last trip to Vegas, the team’s general manager assigned me a branding expert. I was ready to tell him I was fine on my own, but then my expert walked in, and I practically forgot my own name.
Sommer Bennett had curves in all the right places and lips that could make a man stupid. Too bad she couldn’t stand me. Even worse, she was the owner’s granddaughter, making her off-limits.
Or was she?
Sommer
When Granddad said he had a job for me, I couldn’t have been more excited. I pictured myself as the vice president of player relations or next in line to take over the Hawks. Instead, he wanted me to babysit the most arrogant player on the team: Jimmy Hall.
It didn’t matter that the man was drop-dead gorgeous or had the most strikeouts in the league. He was a PR nightmare—and now my nightmare. I’d graduated top of my class and have a master’s in business, yet I still needed to prove myself. Jimmy Hall would not be the reason I didn’t get the title I deserved. I just couldn’t fall for his charm.
The Iron Fiends never wanted trouble. Yarder had signed on for the reality TV show to make life easier for them. Line their pockets with money in exchange for putting their day-to-day life on TV. Easy.
Or not.

💛Review💛 Even though River has a difficult past he has found a home and people he considered family in Magnolia Falls. When he meets Ruby, the sparks fly and despite the antagonism between them their interactions are both humorous and hot. Their plans for the future are very different so a casual relationship seems like the best way to extinguish the heat between them but that is proving easier said than done.
When it comes to her family Ruby has always had to be the responsible one so it wasn’t surprising that she physically distanced herself from them but when her father needs her she doesn’t hesitate to drop everything to be there for him. River is a complication she not only wasn’t expect but she also wasn’t prepared for.
When River gave into his feels, he was all in and now he needs to not only convince Ruby but show her that she no longer has to face her future and responsibilities alone. Ruby may have been more cautious but with the support of River I enjoyed seeing her become the woman she was destined to be and to have the future she never knew she wanted.
