My Lucky #13 by Piper Rayne

Lucky.

The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and the team owner is talking about trading me.

I’ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.

Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.

I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want. Grab the book here on Amazon or all other book retailers.

Friends with Benedict by Staci Hart

Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.

Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual. Friends with benefits. They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.

A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything. And their time is almost up. Grab the book here on Amazon or all other book retailers.

When You're Mine by Layla Hagen

fter my almost-marriage-proposal (don't ask) blows up in my face, I'm done with romance. My family says I'm turning into a broody version of myself, but I'm determined to take New York by storm and steer clear of serious relationships. That's the plan. That's the goal.

Nothing is getting in the way of that-not even my sexy personal trainer. Mel Dawson keeps talking me into doing things, like watching the sunset and slowing down to enjoy life. And even though I've sworn off all that, I keep giving in to her.

Spending time with Mel is just what I need. When she trains me, and I watch her body, I'm constantly fantasizing about exploring every inch of it.

I'm used to taking chances in the boardroom, but not in my personal life. Not anymore. How much am I willing to risk for a chance to make her mine? Grab the book from Amazon or all other book retailers.

Just One Scandal by Carly Phillips

A jilted bride. Her brother’s ex-buddy. An affair would be crazy…right?

Chloe Kingston’s life is exactly how she needs it: safe and stable. Right up until her reliable, low-risk fiancé jilts her on their fairy-tale wedding day. As she works her way through the reception champagne—and wonders where she’s going to live—she stumbles into her brother Linc’s ex-best friend.

If only Beckett Daniels were hideous. But he’s not. He’s everything her erstwhile groom was not. Hot. Sexy. Dangerous. And she’s just buzzed enough to want all that Greek-god gorgeousness to show her the kind of fun she’s been missing.

Beck thrives on calculated risks, but taking advantage of Linc’s little sister isn’t one of them. What he can do is haul her tipsy, tulle-clad, tempting little butt to the bridal suite to sleep it off. Then move her into his spare room—which has the satisfying side effect of driving her brother crazy.

They can’t remain platonic roommates for long. Not when the sexual attraction sizzles out of control. But when tragedy threatens Beck, pain from his past reminds them both that life doesn’t come without risks…and this time, they're gambling with their hearts.

Funny Business by Kayley Loring

A single dad, a model, and a comedian walk into a bar… They’re all Owen Brodie.

It’s only funny if you aren’t the hilarious struggling comedian who has been hired to be his son’s nanny for the stand-up tour.

Dear Ms. Hogan,

I’m emailing to offer you the job as my son’s nanny because Sam had a temper tantrum when I told him I can’t hire you to come on my stand-up tour with us. “She heckled me at a club a few years ago,” I wanted to say. “She is the sassy little turd who trolls me on Twitter,” I could have told him. “She’s an even bigger pain in the butt when we’re face-to-face,” I thought to myself. What I would never tell him is—things could get complicated. For reasons.

Let me know if you want the job.

With great reluctance,

Owen

#AdorableHowObsessedYouAreWithMe

Dear Mr. Brodie,

Thank you for your email. Please inform Sam that I like him very much and would love to be his nanny and accompany him on your terrible joke of a stand-up tour.

I can assure you—things will not get complicated. For many, many reasons.

Primarily because Owen Brodie isn’t funny, and he can suck it.

Out of financial desperation and a fondness for your son,

Frankie

Especially from the neighboring angel whose bright smile has haunted his dreams for months. But his solitude doesn’t sit well with Gwen’s larger-than-life personality.

As Carmel’s most beloved nurse, Gwen will do anything to help anyone—including the handsome recluse. So, she refuses to back down until she’s helped solve the case and healed his damaged heart.

Though there’s an undeniable spark between them, Chevy tries to fight its pull because desire has always had the power to destroy.

High school senior Holden Eastwood only has one fear in life: growing up.

He spends his days unmotivated, moving from one game to the next, searching for his next challenge.

The last thing she needs is some guy she can’t stand suddenly declaring her as his new hobby.

Their pasts a complete paradox.

But in each other, they find the unexpected…

They find solace.

Fragments of forever…

A forever that might tear them to pieces. Grab the book on Amazon

Love Rises by Annie Dyer

The first time I saw Anya I was shirtless and holding an axe.

It was June, the weather balmy and Anya was beautiful, but that didn’t matter because I was drowning in my own grief.

Anya wasn’t meant to be my saviour.

I wasn’t meant to be hers.

A perfect summer, an idyllic island, a stream of stolen nights.

All bandaids on an open wound.

If we were going to live again, she deserved more than the fractured shards of the broken creature I’d become.

She deserved love. Grab the book now on Amazon or other book retailers.

Blackmailing the Bossman by Anna Hackett

To save my best friend’s husband, all I have to do is blackmail a billionaire.

My friend’s husband was abducted by a gang of white-collar criminals. These guys are bad, and they want her to spy on her boss—a man who owns half of New York. She’s falling apart and she needs my help.

My name’s Aspen. I’m a private investigator, and I’m usually doing surveillance on cheating spouses or insurance scammers, but now I’m going undercover.

I’m trading my jeans for skirts, and playing assistant at Kensington Group so I can get up close and personal with Liam Kensington—the owner of a multibillion-dollar construction and property empire.

Not to mention a tall, lean, golden-haired god with a sexy British accent.

The white-collar thieves have Liam in their sights and in return for my friend’s husband, they want me to blackmail a billionaire. Aw, hell.

But I didn’t count on how Liam would make me feel, or my crazy need to keep him safe, or our incendiary attraction.

Now I have to save a man’s life, catch some bad guys, and stop myself from falling in love with a billionaire who’s way out of my league.

Orbiting Mars by K.L. Savage

I'm a car accident waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before I crash.

Every day that passes, every second I blink, the need to drink grows.

Meetings aren’t enough.

My will power isn’t enough.

Sunnie…

The second I see her, I want to crash into her instead.

But she may not be enough to kill the need.

I’m trying… but I can’t try anymore.

And when Sunnie tells me something that I can’t handle?

I break.

I run away.

I sprint to the nearest watering hole.

Away from life, from responsibilities, from fear…

I’ve never been good with change. Everything is safe right now.

I’m in a bubble and I’ve kept Sunnie there too.

She wants more than that kind of life.

I don’t know how to give it to her.

Her words play on repeat in my head.

“Maybe it isn’t fair for us to sacrifice the things we want if it means being together?

”If I don’t have her, I have nothing.

But you know what I do have? Addiction.

And I’m staring at the bottle.

She’s beautiful.

Just. One. Taste.

And everything will be okay... Grab the book on Amazon
