Except there's a catch...

When a bluestocking spinster sets her mind to something…
Lady Patience Lane, daughter of the Earl of Desmond and legendary boxer Ivory Bess, grew up learning to fight, not how to mind her manners.

The prize purses from the bareknuckle mills will go a long way to solving his problems, if he can win them. To be a success in the ring, he needs the best trainer, and Patience Lane is the best there is—all he has to do is convince her that he’ll only fight once.
They just might find their happily ever after in each other’s arms.
The more time Sin and Patience spend together, the closer they become. Soon, Sin’s thoughts are less about winning in the ring, and more about winning Patience’s heart. But can a relationship born out of wicked deception stand the test of time?

MAN IN CHARGE: A STEAMY CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC COMEDY (MANLY) BY TEDDY HESTER
Release Date: March 12, 2018
Recipe for a Big Bang--
Start with the Regal Theater reclamation project
Add:
One financier who likes calm order and the color beige.
One ad agency owner who likes free range for her creativity and can’t live without color.
Stir in:
His desire to teach her control of her energy and emotions.
Her desire to use him in her silk boxer ad campaign.
Generously sprinkle with passion and snark.
Toss the mix into a pressure cooker and stand well back.
This is the second book in the steamy contemporary Manly Series featuring the DePaul men! If you enjoyed Leo and Juliette's love story in The Best Man, here's your chance to read about how Tony and Cleo first fell in love:
Tony DePaul runs his life like his investment firm—with strong hands and tight reins in both the boardroom and the bedroom. He wants no part of the high-profile renovation project that could damage his professional reputation and bankrupt a friend, especially since it looks like the advertising expert is going to require firm handling.
Clementine (Cleo) Waiteberry didn’t build a successful advertising agency by kowtowing to other peoples’ ideas of how things should be done or by standing around waiting for things to happen. What she wants, she goes after, and that includes getting a certain stodgy financier into her ad campaign for silk boxers. Joining the project risks her bank account and her heart, but a strong woman never backs down from a challenge.
From their first meeting, Tony itches to take this fluttery hummingbird in hand, but Cleo’s not about to sit still for anyone trying to clip her wings. Can he leverage what she wants from him to get what he wants from her, without compromising a demanding renovation project that could break everyone?
Although best read after The Best Man, it isn’t a sequel. Man in Charge is a full-length, standalone, steamy contemporary romance intended for adult readers. It contains no cheating or ménage and has a guaranteed happy ending with no cliffhanger.

DREAMING OF YOU (MAGNOLIA VALLEY) BY CORA REED
Release Date: March 15, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Can he convince her love is worth the risk?
Josie Wheeler isn’t a risk-taker. She likes her routine running the Morning Jolt cafe. The last risk she took was asking her dreamy friend Calvin out—and that failed miserably. But as her thirtieth birthday gets closer, that routine starts to feel like stagnation.
After his marriage went up in flames, Calvin Monroe knew love wasn’t for him. Since then, every relationship he’s had has been no-strings-attached. But Calvin’s not nearly as commitment-phobic as Josie thinks he is; he just can’t find anyone that measures up to her.
Josie is vibrant, funny, smart—and Calvin’s wanted her since they first met. But he knows he’s not her type. Josie goes for wholesome guys, not divorcees with bad reputations.
An overheard conversation changes everything. Calvin realizes Josie is—was—into him, but he was too dumb to see it. If he can convince her to take another risk on him, he’ll win her heart. So, he makes her an offer she can’t turn down: Two weeks to try out anything she wants in bed.
Josie knows Calvin doesn’t do forever, but she says yes to his proposition, anyway—it might be just what she needs to get him out of her system and her life out of its rut.
What Josie doesn’t expect is their exhilarating chemistry setting the sheets aflame and entangling her wary heart. But when her cafe is threatened, she has to decide what she’s willing to risk for a love beyond her wildest dreams.

SYNOPSIS
Ever since he was a young boy, Nate Davis’s good looks have defined him. His hit ‘em and quit ‘em lifestyle makes it so he never has to look beyond the surface. Until the day he meets a certain woman and her dancing horse.
Shiloh Nichols’ blindness has never slowed her down. Her job at Sutton Ranch gives her the chance to help others find strength in what everyone considers a weakness, exceeding her every dream. Her confidence and live-life-out-loud attitude impress Nate, and before long, he’s falling hard.
A pretty face won’t save Nate from the demons of the past, but can Shiloh help him see his worth is much more than the mirror shows?

Nate: The Sutton Ranch Series Book 2 by Taryn PlendlMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Characters like Nate and Shiloh are a reminder of why I fell in love with reading. Taryn Plendl goes beyond what the eye can see and takes aim at what the heart can feel. Shiloh is the best part of humanity. What others perceive as weakness is a source of strength for her. She enlightens with her spirit and inspires with her touch. She has the heart of a fighter and will champion the most lost of souls. Nate is a triumphant masterpiece.

REVIEW: GLAM SQUAD & GROOMSMEN (ENCHANTED BRIDAL) BY SAMANTHA CHASE
Glam Squad & Groomsmen by Samantha ChaseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Weddings, Tuxes and Heartbreak. OH MY! Glam Squad & Groomsmen leaves a lasting impression. I laughed, cried and was inspired. The dreamer that got away, lights the spark in the man who doesn't have it in him to dream. Penny lost her heart a long time ago to the boy who gave her, that first kiss. Her heart was his for the taking, but he was consistent in breaking it. Years later, a chance encounter brings her face to face with her past. Maybe this time the boy that stole her heart and the girl that got away will finally get it right. The most endearing stories are the ones rooted in realism. We can all relate and appreciate where they're coming from.

Release Date: March 17, 2018

“If you want something, you’ve got to decide it’s yours and claim it. Otherwise, you’ll never get it.”
Blake and Melanie are best friends—until the day she shows up at his house soaking wet. In just a single afternoon, they go from friends, to lovers…to nothing.
Three years later, Mel is determined to fix the mistake she made that day. But instead of the sweet, lanky boy she grew up with, she finds a man.
He’s bulked up. He’s confident.
Dominating.
Hardened by rejection. Mired in the loss of his father.
One thing hasn’t changed, though: how much he wants her.

The day Mel left, Blake swore he’d never give anyone else the chance to gut him so completely.
He’s adept at getting what he wants from women, when he wants it. His method? Be aloof. Share as little of your heart as possible. Don’t wait around for what you want: demand it.
But Mel is different. She always has been.
Finally, he has her. All of her. But between his dad’s death and unexpected news from his ex, the life he's always wanted begins to unravel.
Even worse: he’s the one pulling the thread.
He can’t bear to lose Mel again…but what if letting her go is the only way to keep her safe?
All Mine is an enduring novel of young love and regret, second chances—and a happily ever after readers will ache to claim as their own.
