Heading to a teachers’ conference hundreds of miles away from my small town should have been a nice break. Until I was propositioned by a stranger to be his wife for the next six months. And for whatever reason, I said yes.
Talon Beckett was a domineering billionaire with a steely-blue gaze that made me forget my own name. It was my excuse for agreeing to his terms…that and he agreed to play up our recent vows when we attended my ex’s wedding.
We both decided that we’d go our separate ways when our six months were up. He’d get full control of his bank account and the hotel chain that bared his mother’s maiden name, and I’d get whatever I needed in return.
When our time was coming to an end, I realized the one thing I wanted was something he had no desire to give. It was the affectionate side he’d kept hidden from everyone despite his need to say, “My Wife” when we were out in public. And as I crossed the days off the calendar, it was harder to remember that our marriage wasn’t real. Especially when we needed to sign those termination papers.
I feared I’d lose not only my new last name and job, but my heart along the way.

So when he meets Eva, the only woman who has ever ignited such raw, violent passion, he has no choice but to stay away.

Until she wakes up dead.
Thrown into an unfamiliar world, Eva only has one hope to free herself from her new master, and it just happens to be the same man she’s been warned to stay away from.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.
She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast.
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.’
Never in my life did I think I’d wager in my head whether to sleep with Chicago Grizzlies wide receiver, Damon Siska.
He’s the perfect package—hot body, killer smile, and flirts like he earned a doctorate in it. But anyone who reads gossip blogs knows he is looking for one amazing night and nothing more.
I’m not the usual type of woman he beds. I’m a middle school teacher who cherishes her quiet nights in, drinking wine, and watching romantic comedies, dreaming I’m the heroine. I’m not embarrassed to admit—I want the fairy tale.
But Damon caught me at a weak moment. Fresh off a break-up and feeling lousy about myself, I gave into temptation and left the next morning like every other woman he’d slept with.
Except I walked away with more than just the memories when three weeks later the little white stick glowed with two pink lines.

Piper Rayne is a USA Today Bestselling Author duo who write “heartwarming humor with a side of sizzle” about families, whether that be blood or found. They both have e-readers full of one-clickable books, they’re married to husbands who drive them to drink, and they’re both chauffeurs to their kids. Most of all, they love hot heroes and quirky heroines who make them laugh, and they hope you do, too!
Damon is a player both on and off the field but that is about to change when he receives a text six months after the fact that the night he spent with Adeline has them about to become parents. Rather than trying to find a way to avoid the situation he is determined to be the man and father that his baby deserves.
The night that Adeline spent with Damon was an unusual occurrence for her and she knew that was all they would have so she headed back to her life as a schoolteacher. When she found out she was pregnant she always planned to tell him but now he has shown up at her school looking for answers.
I enjoyed everything about this book from the way that Damon and Adeline always put their baby first to how their relationship evolved as they tried to work through their new reality. Although there was a setback along the way with the help of family and friends that was soon rectified. The narrators were a perfect choice as they brought out the sweet and swoony side of Damon and the sassy independent side of Adeline.
