When Jordan Threat falls into a glowing whirlpool in the Bermuda Triangle, he wakes up on a tropical beach in another world. A world where pirates still rule the seas with tall-masted galleons and blood-slicked cutlasses. And it isn’t long before Jordan spills some blood himself, rescuing a gorgeous, blue-skinned sea nymph from the barbarous cutthroats.
The pirates have kidnapped this world’s most powerful supernatural beings, and this long-legged, scantily clad magical warrior must set them free. And she can’t do it alone. But after Jordan agrees to help her, he also rescues a spunky little redhead with an hourglass figure and a passion for steampunk machinery.
Sparks fly when the girls meet. The engineer has a deep distrust for magic, and the nymph has a gills-deep grudge against technology. But they each have a personal score to settle with the pirates. And they both have the hots for Jordan…
Can this rag-tag team of lusty misfits defeat the pirates and prevent a magical apocalypse? Can Jordan convince the girls to kiss and make up, using nothing but his rugged charm and his enormous… negotiation skills? Whatever happens, one thing is for sure. Jordan Threat is going to enjoy this strange new world of Magic Steampunk Pirate Booty.

I’m the last single mom standing.
We had a plan. Move into my great aunt’s old house and raise our kids together. Just four best friends, doing their best to stay afloat.
But then three of them had to go and fall in love.
Now my crumbling brownstone is filled with loving couples, leaving me in the cold.
And the pressure is on to finish fixing things up.
But just when I’ve given up hope, a contractor shows up at my door, tape measure at the ready to make my home renovation dreams come true.
But there’s a catch. He’s overbearing, bossy, and infuriatingly handsome.
Our personalities immediately clash and for once, the faulty wiring isn’t the cause of all the sparks. Despite my best attempts to get rid of him, he persists, fixing things and winning over my roommates, and eventually my kids.
And when a burst pipe results in a hot and heavy make-out session, I’m left wondering if my man-hating days might be behind me.
Because he’s not just renovating my home, but fixing all the cracks in my jaded heart.

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 that I’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.

Moving with my three best friends and our seven kids into a dilapidated brownstone in Boston may have seemed like the most insane thing I’d do this year. Apparently the universe said hold my beer.
Because last night I got drunk and married my boss.
Don’t worry, it’s all fake. Or at least everything after ‘I Do’ will be.
Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea.
Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.
He’ll help fix up our broken house and all I have to do is take a few pictures and pretend we’re happily married.
Easy peasy.
Now if someone could just remind him that it’s all fake.
Authors Note: Mother Faker is book one of the Momcoms Series and features an accidental marriage between a billionaire grump and a plus size single mom who happens to work for him where there is only one bed, tons of laughs, a lot of ducks, and it’s always been you vibes.
I’m a hunted man, forced into witness protection after the man I put behind bars as an undercover DEA agent escapes federal custody. Nothing matters but lying low until he’s recaptured and I can return to normal life until I meet her. Confident, sexy as hell, and my new warden, I crave her the moment our eyes meet. Alone in a safe house on her long horn ranch force us together, turning the lonely days into hot nights that neither of us wants to end.
Anne
I can’t know anything about him or why he entered witness protection, though that doesn’t stop the immediate attraction to the mysterious man. Hard body covered in tattoos, soul-piercing blue eyes, and a filthy mouth. He’s everything I’ve fantasized about but never had.
Getting involved is reckless, putting both at risk.
An unknown threat trying to ruin her and dangerous men hunting him leave them vulnerable.
It will take both trusting each other to survive the dangers lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
It’s been weeks since our first hookup, but even before we had sex, we were getting closer. He was probably high every time we hung out, kissed, or had sex. And I never even knew it. I was so wrapped up in wanting the boy that I didn’t realize the boy needed my help.
“I don’t want to drag you down with me, Haley.” His hands move up and down my back. “You could go anywhere, do anything, have anyone you wanted.”
“And what I want is you. You are who I want.” I rub his back gently. “Just lie down with me, okay?”
If I can just get him to fall asleep, maybe tomorrow, I can talk some sense into him and convince him that he needs help. At the very least, he needs to tell Coach LaConte. He can’t fight this battle alone even if he thinks he can.
Gently, I reach down and peel his shirt off and kiss his shoulder. Crouching down, I pull down his pants, taking one leg out at a time, leaving him in his boxers. It isn’t about sex right now. It’s about taking care of him when he needs me to.
Slowly, he moves upward to the top of the bed and lies down. And once I’ve taken my own jeans off, I climb into bed and I wrap my entire body around him.
His heart pounds against my ear, and his body trembles against my own. And it’s right now that I know one thing to be true.
I’ll do anything to save this boy. Even if it kills me.
We need rest right now. Tomorrow, we can deal with everything else.
Tomorrow will be better.
BLURB:
I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates. By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldn’t get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.
Life was great—until it wasn’t. Because when I was seventeen, my best friend died in my arms. And nothing made sense after that. Drinking turned to smoking. And smoking turned to pills. But no matter how high I got, I couldn’t erase that night. Or the guilt I felt.
Because that night had been my fault. And my friend was dead … because of me.
As my best friend’s baby sister, an actual angel sent from above, Haley Thompson is forbidden fruit, and I should stay away from her. Because everything I touch turns to crap. But like all things I’m not supposed to do, chasing her is another temptation I’m not strong enough to avoid. But when I spiral down, hitting my lowest point, I know I can’t take her with me. Because innocent, sweet souls like her, they don’t belong at the bottom.
The trouble is, she refuses to let go of me. Even if it will ruin her.
There’s only one course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make one of his board members happy—you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my hidden bad girl with naught but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.
Afterwards, he went back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters, Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.
You see where I’m going with this—the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local builder to help her … and he’s the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who’s not so nice behind closed doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I’m in town, until the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from getting broken.

An abandoned space station, a hostile, alien planet, and a lost squad eighteen hundred light years from Earth.
How far would you go for that one chance to get home?
After the world-shattering events of Hostile Contact, Finn’s squad leave Earth and the Solar System behind, travelling 1800 light years in an instant, as the Haven space craft activates the Return Protocol.
The ship’s Artificial Intelligence, accepting them as crew, co-operates with Finn, Zuri, Smith and Noah as they as they encounter the remnants of the Haven race on an advanced Space Station and Havenhome, the aliens’ home planet.
Pitted against huge odds, the squad need to rapidly gain the knowledge and skills required to use their alien technology as they desperately fight for survival on the hostile, high gravity planet, where everything wants to eat you or kill you, not caring which comes first.
In the midst of battle, revelations arise about the ancient aliens’ plans for humanity and, with the horrifying realisation about how the Haven fell from their technologically advanced pinnacle, Finn and his team question their place amongst the stars.
With Finn continuing to combat both inner and outer demons, Zuri, the strong-willed female gunner, and Smith, his deceased but digitally copied Corporal, rise to the challenge as the squad take on the might of the Haven Masters, who crave their old but powerful technology.
And, in a last-ditch attempt to recover the lost pathway home, the squad embark on a harrowing mission where they face a devastating decision that will change their lives forever.
Come for the action, stay for the characters in this ‘fast-paced, character-driven novel that seamlessly blends military sci-fi and alien first contact.’
Vaughn Madden is hockey’s hotshot who moves to a small town, only to learn that Isla Chase has kept a nine-month secret from him.
It was one night trapped with a hockey god due to a hurricane. We shared one bed too. I also ignored the little fact that Vaughn has always been my brother’s rival on the ice. And when the storm cleared, so did Vaughn. Months later, he shows up in my hospital room in Lake Spark where it only takes one look at me and the man is counting back in his head, or maybe it’s my face that explains it all.
He’s going to be a dad. And I didn’t tell him.
His eyes inform me that he won’t let me off easy. He wants answers to why I kept this a secret—and he quite possibly needs a scotch for his nerves too. Vaughn is soon adamant that he isn’t going anywhere, especially as he is the new General Manager of our hockey team that trains in town. He also has a list of demands that I owe him due to my secret keeping. Hence, why I move into his house. I’m not sure if developing feelings for a man with a wicked smirk is good for me or our child, but he’s becoming more than my baby daddy. And it turns out that Vaughn’s head has been working overtime, because the family image that I’ve dreamed about is the game that Vaughn seems to have been waiting to play…
Vaughn and Isla bring you a heartwarming and steamy secret- and accidental-baby romance in forced proximity setting. Waiting to Play can be read as a complete standalone and is the third book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is part of the Lake Spark world. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.
Anyone who thinks star-crossed love is romantic has never actually experienced it.

The hatred between our families runs deep. We’re still suffering from what his father did to our small town decades ago.
So, I’ll work with Dalton on our school project because my grade depends on it. But I will not fall for him.
Or so I think …
Dalton
I know two things about Natalie Spencer.
First, she hates my family, specifically my dad—almost as much as I do. And … I want her so much that it hurts.
But her being with me would ruin her relationship with her father. So, I should walk away. Everything would be much easier if I did. Logically, I know that.
Too bad my heart doesn’t seem interested in logic where Natalie is concerned …
How We Hated, book 1 in the Leighton River series, is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers, new adult, sports romance with plenty of emotional and angsty moments and some spicy times. Download it today and get ready to fall for Natalie and Dalton.
Our secret relationship is revealed when a devious colleague who wants my job decides to print the undercover photos that he took of us. But he doesn’t just call us out for getting together on the sly. Instead, he insinuates that Lincoln is a cheater while damaging my own reputation, too.
My job is on the line, my family won’t talk to me, and it feels like my life is falling apart. I hold onto Lincoln as the chaos swirls around us with the inevitable end always in sight.
It feels like we’re in overtime and we’re about to lose everything.
OVERTIME is the fourth book in the VEGAS ACES: THE COACH series. This series must be read in order.
There was a time when my world revolved around him, and I’d foolishly thought he’d be the one to claim all my firsts. Those dreams shattered into a million jagged pieces when the unthinkable happened.
Five years later and we both attend the same college. He’s a superstar goaltender for the Western Wildcats with a ticket to the NHL. I’m just trying to make it through the last year and a half of college all the while doing my best to avoid him.
Wolf has decided that it’s time for us to get reacquainted. As far as I’m concerned, he can shove that idea where the sun doesn’t shine.
Better yet, he can bend over, and I’ll happily do it for him.
He might not realize it, but my life is splintering apart at the seams. My parents have lost everything and can’t pay my tuition for the second semester, which means I need to figure something out.
Fast.
Or I’ll be forced to drop out and move back home.
Unwilling to allow that to happen, I decide to sell the only thing I have of value.
I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates. By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldn’t get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.

Because innocent, sweet souls like her, they don’t belong at the bottom.
The trouble is, she refuses to let go of me. Even if it will ruin her.
I’ve always been a wild card – the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it – but appearances can be deceiving.
Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.
Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.
But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.

Tempted and Taken by Mari Carr is releasing January 9, 2024!
Liza knows that cocky billionaire Matt Russo is the wrong man for her. She could make a long list of reasons why she’d be smart to stay away, including his tenacious ex-girlfriend, the fact he’s trying to destroy her family, and, oh yeah, did she mention he’s a cold, distant bastard? However, after their tempestuous one-night stand, she’s finding it hard to hang on to their well-established nemesis routine.
Matt is the master of control—of his life, his emotions, his future. Except, of course, for that night he slipped up…with Liza Moretti. Reassuming his grip on the reins, he’s determined it won’t happen again. Unfortunately, doing the right thing in regards to the tempting woman fails because doing the wrong things with her—to her—are too alluring to resist.
An impromptu invitation to share his private plane leads to an unexpected break from reality and some very steamy nights in Hawaii. Until real life comes knocking and Matt is forced to face the mistakes of his past. Mistakes that could destroy the one thing he can’t control, and the one thing he can no longer live without—Liza.
Five years ago, I took the money, signed my love away and ran far far away as agreed. Now, I accepted the job that would be a game changer for my company and my team. Unfortunately, for me he’s a partner in the company that hired me.
We now work in the same office, which is too close for comfort and I must hide my secret from him. It gets harder everyday with every lie I tell. I’ve asked for a divorce, he laughed at me. My fiancé is a perfect shield from him but for how long can my shield stand?
Naseer:
I’ve waited five years for her, now she has a fiancé and children. That f…ing hurts
I know she’s hiding something from me, even as she perfectly weaves lies and truths daily. I intend to find out what she’s hiding and if she thinks there’ll be a third time of her getting away from me, she’s in for a rude awakening. She’s mine and I’m never letting go.
Title: One Night Slam Author: Chasity Bowlin & Laramie Briscoe Genre:Contemporary Romance Release Date:December 26, 2023 Hosted by:Buoni Amici Press, LLC.
From USA Today Bestselling Authors, Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe, comes a brand new small town series full of spice, steam, and second chances.
Cody
Bellehaven, KY was in my rearview as soon as I got my diploma and walked off the high-school stage. Fifteen years later, I don’t expect to be back.
I sure don’t expect to be seeing the woman I had a one-night stand with at our senior prom, or be coaching the same high-school basketball team I played for. The team that includes her son; a freshman.
Emma
From afar, I watched as Cody Willett became everything he said he would be. Famous, and a future NBA hall-of-famer–until an injury derailed his career. Now he’s the coach for my son’s team. I’m keeping a secret though. One that’s bound to destroy us from the inside out. Not many are given a second chance, and we’re bound to screw this up, but what if we don’t? What if this is the happy ever after everyone wants and deserves? With a fear I’ve only felt once before, I’m reaching out with both hands, grabbing hold, and refusing to let go.
Laramie Briscoe is the USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of over 30 books, with sales of over half a million copies.
Since self-publishing her first book in May of 2013, Laramie has appeared on the Top 100 Bestselling E-books Lists on Apple Books, Amazon Kindle, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Her books have been known to make readers laugh and cry. They are guaranteed to be emotional, steamy reads.
When she’s not writing alpha males who seriously love their women, she loves spending time with friends, reading, and marathoning shows on Netflix. Married to her high school sweetheart, Laramie lives in Bowling Green, KY with her husband.
🌠Review🌠
Even though she was 17, when Emma realized she was pregnant after the night she spent with Cody she didn’t want to derail his dreams of playing basketball professionally, so she never told him. In the 15 years since she has moved forward with her life but when his career comes to an end, he returns to coach the high school basketball team.
Cody wants to make a difference in the lives of his players, but he wasn’t prepared for what Emma didn’t tell him about JT. Now he, Emma and Troy, the man who has been a father to JT, find themselves trying to do what is best for JT while dealing with the unresolved feelings of the past.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Emma and Cody unfold and I am looking forward to Troy’s story.
