Title: Never Really Over
Author: Jennifer Van Wyk
Genre: Single Dad Small Town Romance
Release Date: September 30, 2021


BLURB

With one phone call, Colt's life turned completely upside down, inside out, backwards, spiraled out of control... however you want to say it.
He was used to life not going as planned, but this little detour changed his life forever and completely terrified him. But he didn't have time to dwell on the fact he was now this toddler's one and only parent.
His little niece Poppy needed him and he was determined not to fail her.

But life continued to throw curve balls.
While trying to learn his new normal, Layla, his first and only love, breezed back into his life. That might have excited him, but he hadn't counted on the fact that she'd changed over the years.
Gone was the girl he fell in love with, replaced with someone he could barely stand to be around.

Colt didn't have time to deal with a snobby, bitter grump when he had a farm to run and a toddler to raise.
She may still be the most gorgeous woman he'd ever laid eyes on, but to him, beauty was about more than what was on the surface.
The problem was, he was starting to wonder if the new Layla wasn't really who she was.
He tried to resist her but sometimes love is never really over.

EXCERPT

Conversation continues around us, but all I see is Layla. For the first time in over a dozen years, I wish my friends weren’t around.
I could pull her out of her chair and onto my lap. She’d feel my hardening erection and I wouldn’t care because she’s the one who did it to me. I’d reach up and thread my fingers through her hair, keeping it away from her beautiful face, and pull her lips to mine.
From that moment on, we would simply exist as one.
“Colt,” she whispers, her voice a lustful combination of turned on and scared. I know the feeling.
“Yeah, baby?”
She makes a noise in the back of her throat. “Oh, shit, you called me baby. I can’t handle this.”
“Sorry. Am I overstepping?” I ask, reluctantly removing my hand from her.
“No! It’s just,” she drops her head, shaking it back and forth, “I never thought…”
“Never thought what?”
Layla’s eyes never leave mine as if she’s hoping she can still read right through me. She probably can, and maybe I should be worried about that but I’m really not. If Natalie’s death taught me anything, it’s that life is short. Yeah, I was hurt. Tim pulled me aside earlier and said point blank that I had only two choices. Either get over it because life isn’t meant to be lived holding a grudge, or live alone the rest of my life and likely have to watch her eventually with another man. He’d understood the hurt, hell, he was the first one here after she left so he saw the destruction from the beginning. The other man part isn’t what changed my mind. It was the holding a grudge part.
Natalie would have kicked my ass if she’d still been here when Layla came back. She always told me we’d find our way back, our path just didn’t look like I’d originally thought it would. And maybe that’s part of why I was holding onto that hurt. Because my plan was changed.
“I never thought we’d be able to even consider getting back to this.”
“Are you considering it?” I ask her, even though I know the answer. I need to hear it from her lips.
She watches me closely. “I am. Might be stupid, but it goes beyond consideration straight into hope. I’m hoping for this.”
I smile and give her neck a little squeeze. “I’m right there with you.”

Release Date: September 30, 2021
Cover Design: Sarah Paige, Opium House Creatives


A secret fling and media scandal incites a very public, fake engagement. When the news breaks, a twenty-year secret threatens to destroy us both.

Gabe Lugreno is everything I avoid in a man.
He’s arrogant, bossy, wealthy, and…American.
Also, he’s younger than me and won’t take no for an answer.
When I give in to a casual fling, he soon learns I only take orders in the bedroom.
But life throws a curveball, and the stakes are too high to ignore.
Our engagement is nothing but a ruse, except my walls are crumbling...

Sophia Evans is a force to be reckoned with, challenging me at every turn.
When her hard work and good name are tainted, I lie to the press.
To protect her…but she doesn’t need my protection.
She deserves the truth.
But the truth could ruin us forever.

My Billionaire Fling is a full length, steamy contemporary romance full of angst, explosive chemistry and a secret that will keep you fully invested to the very end.






“Hands down the best book so far!”
“This steamy read with a little bit of angst will leave you feeling the love that this pair share and wanting book 3 now.”
“I could gush about this book all day long!! Their story gives me all the heart eyes and definitely ends with a HEA!”
"Maci is going to take you on an incredible journey you won't soon forget in this spicy, captivating tale."


“I’m heading out early. Do you need anything from me before I leave?”

Kelli shakes her head. “No, everything is under control. Are you still taking the full weekend off?”

She’s the only one who knows my weekend plans do not include a conference of any kind.

“Yes, I doubt I’ll be contactable, so I’m leaving my life’s work in your capable hands.”

“I still don’t understand why you didn’t suggest going away next weekend instead. You could’ve stayed the week up until Christmas as we’ll be closed anyway.”

“Trust me, two nights is more than enough for what we have planned.”

“Dirty whore,” she jokes, and I shrug happily, owning the compliment as it was intended.

More than two nights in a romantic city with Gabe is too much to comprehend for this happily single, almost forty-year-old.

Three hours later, Gabe and I are on his private Jet, bound for Paris. He flew direct from New York to collect me for a secret, dirty weekend in my favorite city in the world. In less than an hour, we’ll arrive and settle into our hotel.

And if I have anything to say about it, we won’t leave our room until we’re required to check out and dive back into reality.

“I notice you packed on the lighter side… are you planning on staying in all weekend?” A cheeky grin spreads across his face.

Laughing, I raise my glass of champagne to his in a toast. “I believe that’s the plan, yes.”

Gabe chuckles knowingly, rubbing his hand up the length of my thigh, teasing me with his light touch.

As we’re both familiar with Paris, we have no plans to do any sightseeing. Apart from meals, we have no desire to leave the room. In case we get carried away, Gabe booked a suite in a hotel with the best-rated twenty-four-hour room service.

My luggage exists of three outfits and, dare I say, only two pairs of shoes and an assortment of sexy lingerie. My intentions are clear based on what I’ve packed.

“Does it turn you on, sneaking around like this?” He leans forward, his hand snaking beneath my skirt, his finger teasing the wet fabric of my panties.

“We’re not sneaking around.”

“No? Where did you tell your friends you were going this weekend?”

Unable to resist, I lean toward him as his lips kiss their way up my neck until goosebumps break out over my skin. With a firm hand, he pushes my legs open, and glances up at me, waiting for an answer.

“To Paris for a training seminar.”

Gabe laughs, his eyes never leaving mine. He drags me forward, my pussy on the edge of the seat, and kneels on the floor. As he pulls my panties to the side, he dives between my thighs, and closes his lips around my clit. Good God, this man and his magic tongue. In seconds, I’m writhing over his mouth, grinding my wet pussy against his face, about to experience my first mile-high orgasm.

“Yes, Gabe…” I whisper, wrapping my legs over his shoulders. “So fucking good,” I moan, on the cusp of no return.

My body shudders as he holds my hips tightly in place, pressed against him as he nips and sucks, swirling his tongue over my clit as if he’s starving for the last taste of perfection.

My fingers rake through his hair, clutching his thick strands as I lose all control and give in to the pleasure only Gabe can offer.

Tenderly, he licks every last drop of arousal from me, moaning as he keeps me pinned in place, his fingertips digging into my buttocks.

I’m his to devour.

His to cherish.

With dark eyes, hooded and drunk with lust, he pushes back on the balls of his feet and stands above me. My mouth, level with his groin, waters at the sight of the bulge in his jeans. Slowly, he unbuckles his belt, pops the button, and lowers the zipper. Reaching out, I tug at the denim and his boxers, pulling them down his hips until he’s fully revealed to me.

Desperate to taste his arousal, I lick my lips. A bead of pre-cum pools on the head of his cock, begging to be licked. I take his length in my hand, teasing him with slow, purposeful strokes until he pushes my hand away and pulls me abruptly from my seat.

He spins me around so my back is facing him, my arms resting over the top of the seat. Hitching my skirt up around my waist, he shuffles my hips back toward the edge and pulls my thong down. Teasing my entrance with his cock, he asks, “How do you feel about an audience?”

BLURB

Shane--

I live at the end of this dark, deserted, dead-end street for a reason.
I don't like neighbors, and I'm not into kids. So I'm pissed to learn the vacant house across the street just got rented.

When a child comes snooping around my house, I'm forced to do the last thing I want to do--meet my new neighbor. When I go to return the kid to her side of the street, I come face-to-face with one pissed off mama bear and the hottest chick I've ever laid eyes on--and that's saying a lot.

Suddenly I'm all about being neighborly; the only problem is she wants nothing to do with me or my MC life.

Can I blame her?

Guess I'll just have to change her mind.

When problems start piling up at the club, I can't help wondering if she's to blame. I've never had a woman twist me in knots like this one.

My life is simple and uncomplicated--I live for my club.

I have a feeling she's going to complicate everything.

Brianna--

When I see the motorcycles pull in across the street, I suddenly realize why this rental house was so cheap and the leasing agent so eager to unload it.

But when you're running for your life, a dead-end street with few neighbors sounds perfect.

One look at the badass biker next door is all it takes for me to know I want nothing to do with trouble like him.

He's the worst kind of dangerous--a man built like a Chippendale dancer who radiates confidence and fearlessness. I'm sure there's not a situation he couldn't handle or a room he wouldn't own just by walking through the door.

He's the kind of man men fear and women want to tame---the kind of man my mother warned me about.

I've got secrets, and he wants to know every one of them.

I have a feeling he's going to complicate everything.
