Iโve never had a problem convincing a man to take me home for a night of fun.
Until I meet Alexander Krum.
He leaves me wanting more at the end of every encounter. Despite our insane attraction to one another, we couldnโt be more opposite.
He wants to take me on a date. I want to head straight to his bedroom. He believes in romance. I know men in romance books donโt really exist. He always wants to help. I can take care of myself.
But then he comes to me with a proposition: A marriage arrangement to save his family’s villa. His substantial offer has me overlooking our differences and saying โI do.โ
There is only one problem…he’s been hiding a secret from the media for the last four years. Pretending to be a wife is one thing, but this? I’m the last person he should want in this role.
Yet I can’t bring myself to walk away. The incentive is too great, and when it’s over, I will have my dream.
And it will be over. I’m not destined for happily ever afterโsโno matter how real this charade is starting to feel.
Kayla is a scavenger, driven to search the ruins of abandoned cities for artifacts in exchange for critical life-saving supplies. But, the rarest artifacts are found in the most dangerous ruinsโthose under control by the OmniLab traders.
Carl is one of those tradersโand Kaylaโs invaded his district. Heโs determined to stop her and the best way to do that is to recruit her. The only problem?
Kayla hates traders.
When a powerful man intent on revenge starts hunting her, Kayla realizes the only way to save herself may be to accept Carlโs offer. But that would mean surrendering to OmniLab and giving up everything she knows.
Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.
Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things sheโll never buy.
The mask she wears for the world is flawless. But I want the mess that she hides underneath.
Samantha Harper is untouchable.
Sheโs the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town. Daughter of a senator. Richer than sin. Classy, elegant, and Ice cold.
Sheโs my polar opposite. And unfortunately, Sheโs exactly my type.
Too bad royalty doesnโt fraternize with peasants.
Until one night, Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy, and the temptation to dirty up her flawless facade is too great.
When her perfect mask slips, Itโs not an ice princess I find beneath, But a warrior in war-torn armor. A snake in queenโs clothing.
All it takes is one night, and Iโm determined. She will never have to fight another battle alone.

Until it turns out heโs my new boss…
I couldnโt 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, letโs 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 Iโve mostly been able to put him out of my mind. Iโve 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.
Heโs been thinking about me too, he says, his blue eyes dancing. Heโs been searching for me since that night. And he wants to see me in his officeโฆ
Now that she has finished school Dusty is driven and determined to succeed. She is looking forward to beginning her career after a business trip to Hawaii. While there she meets Cash and although she is attracted to him they can only have one night as she isnโt about to be distracted from her plans by any man and that includes him.
Cash is a successful businessman who has always put business before women, but Dusty has him second guessing that rule. The only problem is that she is out of his life before he knows what happened and isnโt sure if he will ever see her again. When he finds out she has been hired at his company the one thing he does know is that he isnโt about to let her walk out of his life a second time.
Cash knows that Dusty is meant to be his and he isnโt about to let her reservations, work or anyone else come between them as not only is she worth the risk but she is also worth fighting for.

Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man Iโve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friendโthe only woman Iโve ever wantedโI was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfieldโstar goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.
Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I wantโa real shot with my best friend.
Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means Iโm now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if sheโs truly mine to touch.
Now sheโs the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.
Authorโs Note: Pucking Revenge is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring text banter from the Billionaire Langfield Brothers, a singing Boston Bolts hockey team, a cinnamon roll goalie in a friends to lovers romance with fake dating, no miscommunication, one bed, a hot tub, and quite a few ducks.
I thought I could at least get that part right, but as always, trouble manages to find me wherever I go.
Landing back in Stoney Creek, the town I grew up in and the place I canโt escape, I never expected to run into her again.
Turns out the woman of my dreams is my new divorce attorney.
Hartley Chambers isnโt just beautiful and smart. Sheโs also ten years younger than me and trying to prove herself in the family business. Thatโs something I know all about.
Born into the Bassett Brothers Bourbon Distillery, Stoney Creekโs very own pride and joy, and the heart and soul of a small town Tennessee family business.
But now Iโm faced with a dilemma. Do I fire her and be the man everyone thinks I am? Or do I let her handle everything and pretend what we did never happened?
I vowed to never give my heart away again. But that all changes when Hartley and I play a dangerous game that only we know how to play.
Getting involved with my attorney could ruin everything.
Especially since my parents are retiring and that puts me directly in the seat of CEO. A position my younger brother Gabriel has been working for his entire life.
With our family feud at breaking point and my biggest secret about to be unearthed, I find myself turning to the one woman I know I should stay away fromโฆ. Hartley Chambers, and she may just have the power to ruin me for good.
A brand new modern royal romance that will sweep you off your feet! From bestselling romance author Erin Nicholas writing as Erin Nicolle!
A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.
But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety,itโs a horror story.
Prince Torin OโGrady, with his mischievous blue eyes and his cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs me to inherit the crown.
But we have nothing in common. Heโs a future king. And Iโm perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.
So why canโt I stop thinking about him?
Maybe because he wonโt stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.
And thereโs also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.
Well, I could probably ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ for him.
And if I have to marry him ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ญ๐บ to get what we both want, then fine. Itโs for the greater good.
It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the ๐ณ๐ฐ๐บ๐ข๐ญ๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ตhe gives me in the bedroom.
Fine. Maybe it does. Still, itโs only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.
But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด.
๐Review๐ Torbin may be a prince, but it isnโt a position that he is comfortable with especially as he faces pressure to marry. The one thing he does know is that he wants the bride to be his choice and he wants that woman to be Abigail and he is prepared to offer her an arrangement she canโt refuse.
Abigail is an intelligent woman who has an idea that could transform farming but due to her past she isnโt comfortable in social situations. She may be attracted to Torbin but believes that they are way too different however when he offers to support her idea if she agrees to a marriage with a time limit it will give them both what they want.
The chemistry and feelings between them were never in doubt as Torbin appreciates Abigail for the woman she is and wouldnโt change a thing about her while the evolution of Abigail as she gains confidence was wonderful to see and there is no denying that they are so much stronger together than apart.
One year ago, billionaire bachelor, Jack Sloan, left me at the altar and ghosted me. But now heโs back in my small-town acting as if he never met me.
Look, I get it. Iโm 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 wonโt stop stalking me.
Iโd probably ghost me, too.
But, and thatโs 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 meโฆ get revenge.

It wasn’t until she had her two little boys that she finally got the nerve to go after her dream of writing. Now she’s a USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romantic comedy. She spends her days writing characters in ridiculous situations, trying to make herself laugh.
My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing upโฆ
Men are trash.
Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart.
After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right โ and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.
Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.
Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughterโs kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.
But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.
Heโs impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. Iโm only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans.
But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin. And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.
When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal.
He still needs a nanny. I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me. But Will agrees to teach me everything Iโve always wanted to learn, and Iโm all too eager to be his student.
I can do this. Iโm a grown woman. I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings.
I have to.
Otherwise, Iโll end up heartbroken in my motherโs arms while she shakes her head and asks me if Iโll ever learn my lesson.

I crashed and burned before the most important interview of my life…
Yes, literally.
I rammed my crappy Honda into the back of a custom black McLaren, and the sexy bastard who owned it was far from amused.
Especially when I abandoned him at the fiery scene with an “I.O.U.,” twenty dollars, and a pack of glow-in-the-dark condoms as payment. (I’m too broke to afford car insurance.)
I managed to make it to my interview with a few seconds to spare, but the partner I was expecting to meet wasn’t there.
Instead, it was the unforgettable guy I’d just crashed into: Mr. Damien Carter. And his first question–‘Do you know that running away from the scene of an accident is a crime?’–convinced me that I was not getting this job.
Alas, Hamilton & Associates called me back, and I slowly realized that there are far more coincidences between me and my new boss.
Even though this grumpy bastard only utters demands and threats to me…
His firm is a place straight out of The Godfather, nothing like “the good guys on the right side of the law” on the promotional billboards. Its walls hold secrets, the clients are guilty as charged, and Damien Carter is everything wrong with the legal system.
Well, I thought that until we began a hate-love affair like no other, and I discovered his biggest secret of all…
