Miles Madden and I would not have gotten together if my life had gone according to plan.
Recently single with her whole life up in the air, Emma Abate knows that getting into any kind of relationship, even if it is nothing more than a hook-up, is stupid. Especially when the man she’s hooking up with is Miles Madden, a single father who constantly makes her forget that what they have isn’t real.
Or is it?
Miles doesn’t do complicated. But it’s difficult to remember all the reasons why Emma is supposed to be off limits when she begins to fill a void in his and his daughters’ life, a void that he never realized was there, until her.
Before this ends will Miles and Emma realize they have something worth fighting for? Or will his job as a detective, the murder of two young women, and the mother of his daughter get in the way before he ever gets the chance?
We used to be best friends. Now we’re snowed in together.
There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life when we were kids.
It was twenty years ago. We haven’t spoken since. Our families still hate each other, and our lives are completely different. I’m not sure we’ve got anything in common besides childhood memories.
But when it’s just the two of us for a couple of weeks, none of that really matters.
What matters is the way Gideon grumbles, but makes my tea exactly the way I like it. What matters is how he always gives me the spot on the couch closest to the fireplace. What matters is how he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention.
And those childhood memories? He’s in all my favorites.
Up here, in the cabin, it’s easy to look past all that because it feels so good to kiss him. It’s easy to spend a wild night in front of the fireplace and wake up still wrapped together. But back in the real world, where everything that drove us apart is still alive and kicking? It’s a lot harder.
Can Gideon and I fix what broke twenty years ago, or does what happens in the cabin have to stay in the cabin?
I just lost the Super Bowl — but tonight, I’ll win her.
Blair Monroe has always been off-limits. In college, I dated her best friend, while Blair and I were total opposites according to those romance books she always read. She hated football, and secretly, I loved that about her. So the pranks we played were legendary, the tension between us intoxicating.
Blair was an epic tease I could never win.
Until one night, we confessed our secrets, our guilty attraction. We never did anything about it… and we never spoke again.
But this Valentine’s night, when the only romantic company is my right hand, fate sends me stumbling into Blair at an adult store. And now the game we’ve waited eight years to play is finally ON. I want her to clean up the mess she made of my heart, and she wants to show me what dirty really is.
Who can out-tempt the other? It’s the forbidden game we’ve agreed to play for one night only.
I don’t do girlfriends, and Blair doesn’t do love.
Or so we thought.

The older single father whose daughter I was supposed to babysit.
The man who made my days unforgettable. Until his past caught up to us.
Daniel “Danny” Delgado was a protector, a caregiver. Falling in love with him was as easy as falling in love with his daughter.
He loved with everything he had and he was willing to do whatever it took to protect his loved ones. Myself included. But some dangers couldn’t be fought off.
Between dodging his vindictive ex-wife and going to war against the drug and human trafficking cartel that was threatening us, we might’ve been unable to come out unscathed. Or even alive.
By the end of it all, we had a lot of days we couldn’t forget. Not all of them were good.
DANNY
She was too young for me.
Too free to be tied to my baggage.
She was also too enticing for me to ignore, and soon enough my daughter wasn’t the only one falling for the nanny.
Lisa “Lissie” Specter was more than a breath of fresh air. She was my balm, my peace, my partner for life. She colored my daughter’s face with the same ease she adorned my life.
I couldn’t stay away from her despite my best efforts.
But there were a lot of reasons why us being together was dangerous. My past was coming for us. My job was threatening our lives. My feelings for her were risking our future.
For better or for worse, some days were supposed to leave a mark on our lives. Meeting Lisa was one of the best days I’ve had. But the dangerous seesaw we called life had surely worked its number on us.
Because the day I watched her life drain right before me?
Things that stress out this widowed single mom:high fructose corn syrup, intrusive thoughts about my son getting swept up by a tornado,and the sexiest hockey player to grace this planet.
Oh, and the fact thatI’m also said hockey player’s physical therapist. But we’ll lock that tidbit away in the same nightstand as my battery-operated toys.
Moving my son and me across the country to live with my three best friends and our seven children into one dilapidated Boston brownstone should have been the biggest risk I’ve ever taken–not figuring out how to protect my heart, career, and panties while trying to navigate my secret double life.
But Rowan ‘Slick’ Parker is nothing if not hell-bent on taking slapshots at my comfort zone. The more I try to keep things professional, the more he works to break the rules with his charming grin, piercing gaze, and world-class rear end.
Not to mention, he adores my son.
So, I finally give in.
Don’t worry, though, it’s all temporary–a way for us to get each other out of our systems.
But little do I know, ‘temporary’ has a way of leaving lasting impressions on the heart.
The passing of her husband has changed who Shayla is and how she lives her life. Moving in with her friends and their children is the best decision that she could have made for her son and her role within the group is to keep everyone happy and safe. When Rowan needs a physical therapist and Beckett recommends her, she wasn’t prepared for the effect he would have on all aspects of her life.
Rowan is a professional hockey player who is confident both when it comes to his skills playing hockey and with women. When he meets Shayla he knows that she is special and he will do whatever is necessary to turn their professional relationship into something very personal.
The chemistry between is intense and Rowan’s relationship with her son is endearing. He understands why Shayla reacts the way she does and shows her that she can have it all including fun.

Up until a year ago, I had everything going for me.
A husband, children . . . the best apartment in SOHO.
Everything was great until a business deal went wrong and I was no longer useful.
I lost everything, including custody of my kids.
My father disowned me, just like my sister before me.
Fortunately, one of my brothers took me into his home.
I’m picking up the pieces, learning to handle my grandmother’s bakery…
And dealing with my brother’s best friend.
Henrik Tremblay is grumpy, infuriating, and too handsome for my broken heart.
It’s impossible to avoid him in this small town.
And when my grandmother pushes us to organize the annual love festival. . . I get the feeling only one of us will come out of this alive.
When a business deal goes sideways so does Louanne’s life and she now finds herself divorced, destitute and losing custody of her children to her ex. Desperately needing a fresh start, she moves to Kentbury and is managing the bakery of her estranged grandmother. If that isn’t enough to overcome it also brings Henrik, the best friend of her brother who she previously had feelings for, back into her life.
When his hockey career ended Henrik didn’t know what the future held which has caused him to distance himself from others. Seeing Louanne again brings up all the emotions of the past and not only does she make him feel but he is determined to help her reclaim the children she adores.
This is a heartwarming story about love and family which is filled with romance and all the feels as Louanne and Henrik fight for the happiness they both deserve.

Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star 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 want–a real shot with my best friend.
Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.
Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more thanpucking revenge.

I’m her brother’s best friend, and for the past ten years, I’ve also been Addison McKenzie’s dirty little secret.
My pro-hockey player lifestyle kept me from her, but I thought we had a good thing going. Burning up the sheets whenever I visited home worked well for us.
Or so I thought.
When a season-ending injury sends me back to Starlight Cove, I find out she thinks of me as nothing more than a mistake.
She’s trying her hardest to ignore my presence, but being snowed in together is making that difficult.
So is sharing a bed.
Old habits die hard, and it’s no surprise we fall right back into each other. Undeniable chemistry was never our problem, though. Making it last in the real world was.
But I’ve been in love with Addison for years. And I have no intention of giving up on us now.
For the last decade Addison has shared stolen moments with Chase, her brother’s best friend, however the contact between them for the last year has been minimal. Now that he is back in town, she is determined to keep her distance but when they find themselves snowed in together they will finally have to come to terms with their version of the past.
Chase is a professional hockey player who is having a difficult time healing from his knee injury, so he returns to his hometown and the girl who has always owned his heart. He is determined to uncover what changed in the last year and isn’t about to let anything or anyone come between them.
Once they overcome a misunderstanding the chemistry between them radiates off the pages. She is fierce and doesn’t back down while Chase is so supportive of her, and her dreams and it is finally their time. The narrators brought out all the heat and heart of this story.

Love was a losing battle for this country music darling and a single dad, baseball star until one night brings them together and one small town sets the field for a possible winning streak.
They call me Lady Boss. Maneater. Queen. But beneath the makeup, blond wig, and glitzy costumes, I’m just a country girl who likes to sing. I don’t hate men, I’m just struggling to find a good one. I’ve learned my lesson. Fool me once, and it will never, ever happen again.
So I’m baffled when I meet Ford Sylver.
A superstar in his own right as centerfielder for the Chicago Anchors baseball team, plus a single dad to three adorable little girls, we share a moment when I save his firm backside and pretend he’s mine. Something that he can never be.
Only, when he suffers a season-changing injury and I need a place to disappear, we both end up back in Sterling Falls, where I’m suddenly and unwittingly his nanny.
There’s danger in having a wild side. I’ll try anything once. However, forced into close quarters with Ford, acting as his personal nurse, and caring for his three little ones might backfire. Because I’m staring at all I ever wanted and never thought would happen for me.
After losing at love in the past, could I finally be on a winning streak?

𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the first book in the VEGAS HEAT: BASES LOADED series by Lisa Suzanne is coming March 7th!!! We are thrilled to share the covers for the series with you!
I wasn’t looking to change my “bad boy of baseball” reputation. At least not until my dream girl, Pop Princess Alexis Bodega, stepped foot in my clubhouse to sing for the stadium on opening day.
There’s just one problem, and it’s a big one. Her manager is also her boyfriend, and her father is her agent.
She’s kept on a tight leash with her incredibly busy schedule, and I’m at the start of a new baseball season with a new team.
It’s the worst time to explore this attraction with the wrong girl, but that doesn’t stop me from fighting my way backstage at her surprise performance in Vegas and slipping her my number.
I quickly discover that nothing is what it seems where her manager is concerned. The more I learn about America’s Sweetheart, the more I realize what the world knows of her is the carefully crafted façade of her brand…not the woman behind it all. But I’m getting to know the real Alexis, and I’m falling hard and fast for her.
Her father might be the one holding the ball, but I’m in a scoring position, and I won’t let anything stop me from getting the win.
SCORING POSITION is the first book in the VEGAS HEAT: BASES LOADED series. This series must be read in order.
Lisa Suzanne is a romance author who resides in Arizona with her husband and two kids. She’s a former high school English teacher and college composition instructor. When she’s not chasing or cuddling her kids, she can be found working on her latest book or watching reruns of Friends.
