Blurb:

New name. New face. Old vengeance. He's back to steal what the Blackstones took.

Olivier

I made myself into a stranger to walk back into Blackstone Bourbon. New name, new eyes, one job left to finish.

She was my first love. First heartbreak. Being near her again brings back the best parts of us I'd made myself forget.

It changes nothing. I still can't forget or forgive what her family did to mine.

Get in. Get what's mine. Get out.

But I forgot how sharp she is.

That is my first mistake.

Lillianna

Months of research. A folder I can't stop opening. A first name that's probably nothing.

I sign the deal. Then he laughs in my lobby, and something in me stops arguing.

So I watch. I wait for the proof I don't want.

Months later his four-year-old son hands me my answer. Olivier Sawyer is back in my family's distillery, wearing someone else's name.

I should throw him out. Instead, I don't tell my brothers. Not to protect him. To protect the one thing I've built here that isn't already theirs.

Keeping my enemy close should make him easier to control. It would, if my body didn’t like him close.

But I already made the mistake of wanting him when I was seventeen. I won't get burned by the same fire twice.

Some secrets age like bourbon in the dark. The longer they sit, the higher the price when poured. They thought they knew what broke them. They were wrong.

Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes a high-spice, father’s-best-friend age-gap romance about crossing the line with the one man she knows she shouldn’t want.

The last person Blair Hart expects to run into at a members-only sex club in Beverly Hills is her father’s best friend.

She’s only in Los Angeles for a work conference, and after catching her boyfriend cheating, one night of no-strings-attached fun sounds like exactly what she needs. Until she walks into Sensation and comes face-to-face with Dane Kincaid.

He’s older, tempting, and completely off-limits, and he knows better than to see Blair as anything more than his best friend’s daughter. But the woman standing in front of him isn’t the girl he remembers, and once they cross the line, one night in his private room is supposed to be where it ends.

Instead, Blair returns to New York with Dane still on her mind—and it isn’t long before dirty texts turn into late-night calls, and the secret they left behind in LA follows them across the country.

When Blair receives an offer she’d be foolish to refuse, it’s a career-changing position at the construction company owned by her father and Dane.

Moving home means being closer to her family, stepping into the job she’s worked years for … and leaving three thousand miles of safe distance between her and Dane in the past.

They already know what happens when they’re alone together. What neither of them knows is how long they can keep their secret after Blair returns to California.

Because she was never Dane’s to want, but knowing that hasn’t done a damn thing to stop either of them.

Not Yours to Want is a high-spice, dad’s-best-friend age-gap forbidden romance novella featuring a one-night stand that turns into something more, an older man/younger woman pairing, a secret relationship, and a very exclusive sex club.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

He was the right person at the wrong time. Fate wasn't finished with them yet.

An emotional friends-to-lovers doctor-nurse contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland.

Matthew VanRyan

ER doctor, prankster, friend to all.

His easy smile and quiet demeanor hide the pain he doesn't talk about.

Love is one prescription he refuses to fill ever again.

Until he meets her.

The one with the sweet smile, soft eyes, and gentle touch.

She reawakens his belief in love. In forever.

Until life comes between them and they are forced to agree: the right person at the wrong time.

But when fate steps in and brings them together, can the doctor and the nurse heal themselves?

Author's Note
Paging Dr. VanRyan is a complete standalone contemporary romance — a friends-to-lovers medical romance with a wounded hero, a heroine who sees straight through him, and the guaranteed happily ever after you've come to expect from me. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Just two people who found each other at the wrong time and refused to let that be the end of the story.

Cover Reveal: Who the Heart Choose by Harlow James

 


WHO THE HEART CHOOSES

Harlow James

Release Date: October 23 

 



Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author


Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.


I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.


About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!


But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.


My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.


When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

Blurb:

He’s my former best friend and my husband of convenience, but he’s not the man that got me pregnant.


One year into my nursing program, two little pink lines alter my reality.


Add on that the baby’s father wants nothing to do with us and I no longer have healthcare coverage, and well?


I start to panic.


Enter Easton Buckley—Mr. Dependable, lineman with great health benefits, and a stubborn streak that pays off when he convinces me to marry him so my baby and I can be taken care of.


The problem is, Easton and I haven’t been on good terms for years, and neither of us has attempted to fix it.


Yet now I’m living with him, forced to see him shirtless, and wondering why hearing him call me his wife is making my hormones even more wild.


Then I figure out his secret.


And there’s no stopping the flood of emotions and unresolved feelings that come up.


I’m scared to fall for Easton. I don’t want him to be a mistake like every other love interest in my life.


But what if the reality is, you can’t help who your heart chooses to love? Even if they could be the one to break it once and for all?

Blurb:

I move to Charleston expecting a fresh start.


What I don't expect is her.


My new neighbor has enough Christmas lights to be seen from space, a front door wrapped like a giant present, and an endless supply of holiday cheer I want absolutely nothing to do with.


Holly Monroe is everything I'm not.


She's sunshine. I'm a Grinch.


She's an elementary school teacher who believes Christmas can fix anything. I'm an NFL player who's spent years avoiding the holiday altogether.


Unfortunately for me, our neighborhood has other plans.


One innocent offer to help out at a community event lands me working side by side with the one woman I can't seem to avoid. Together, we're in charge of a toy drive that means more to me than she knows, stirring up memories of the grandmother who once made Christmas feel magical before life took that away from me.


The more time I spend with Holly, the harder it becomes to hold onto my cynicism.


She's impossible to resist.


Whether she's bossing me around while decorating my house, dragging me through Christmas markets, or showing me that joy can still exist in the smallest moments, she slowly works her way past every defense I've built.


And before I realize what's happening, the woman I swore I'd avoid has become the one person I look forward to seeing every day.


But opening my heart is terrifying.


Because Holly deserves someone who believes in everything she does.


Someone who won't let her down.


When I choose my career over the one thing that's most important to her, I risk losing the best thing that's ever happened to me.


Now I have one chance to prove that maybe Christmas isn't about decorations, presents, or impossible expectations.


Maybe it's about finding the person who finally feels like home.


And maybe—just maybe—she's my greatest gift of all.


If you believe in Christmas miracles and heroes who grovel well, this festive romance is for you.

  BLURB   I’ve always been the good girl. The adored daughter. The sheltered sister. The innocent, younger friend. Then I met Jetmir Volkov. A morally corrupt heir to a mafia empire. A beautiful monster wrapped in tailored suits and bloodstained promises. I fell into his bed… and followed him all the way to the altar. I thought marrying him was the most dangerous thing I’d ever do. I was wrong. Because when his lies finally shattered our marriage, I ran back to my family. Back to safety. But men like Jetmir didn’t let go. My ruthless and unhinged ex-husband dragged me back into his world with cold hands and darker intentions. He chained me to himself. He destroyed every wall I built while away from him until I was breathless, furious… and screaming his name again. I fought him at every turn. Then the bodies started piling up. Anyone who came for me and threatened to take me from him. Dead. And I finally understood that when Jetmir vowed until death do us part, he meant every word. Jetmir Volkov would burn down the cities and paint the whole world red just to keep me beside him. And the worst part? Beneath all the violence, obsession, and ruin… he was the only one I wanted.
