It was a stupid bet—that I could find a date, a real date, to my sister's wedding. Or I was at the mercy of my brothers’ whim.

No problem. I got this.

Except…I don’t.

Until I meet Sawyer Brown. The moment she pulls up to my roadside fruit stand looking for directions, I’m all in.

Then she tells me to go to hell.

Which is just peachy since she just so happens to be the expert the state sent to help my company this summer.

To say that we don’t exactly hit it off is an understatement. As it turns out, I happen to have something Sawyer desperately needs, and I’m not above using that to leverage her into being my girl—even if it is just for show.

But pretty soon fake dates turn into real ones, keeping secrets turns into baring it all, and our reasons for doing this slowly fade away.

Or so I thought…

HAPPY BOOK WEEK


We are excited to celebrate ONE NIGHT FLAME by Kait Flynn is LIVE!

#1ClickHere: https://geni.us/hotshots1social

Available in Kindle Unlimited




I've never been one to say no to a good cause. So when the fire station decides to hold a bachelor auction fundraiser, I'm all in. After all, I'm Hollywood—the guy with the pretty face who's always ready to put on a show.

What I don't expect is to be bought by a grandma. Not for herself (thank God), but for her granddaughter.

One night with Lucy is all it takes to knock me off my feet. She's beautiful, funny, and sees right through my act. For the first time, I find myself wanting to stick around for the morning after.

Then I discover she's a single mom—the one thing I swore I'd never get involved with. She deserves better than a guy like me with my messed-up childhood and zero parenting skills.

But walking away from Lucy feels impossible. And maybe, just maybe, the package deal I've spent my life avoiding is exactly what I need.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

We are excited to celebrate WISTFUL WHISPERS by Kaylene Winter is LIVE!


"....a tempting heartache that dares to expose it's soul. Spicy romance that manages to get under your skin and capture your heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Will be Available in Kindle Unlimited on June 14




Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.

I never promised forever.
A good time? Absolutely.
Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.

My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.

Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.

She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.

One night. One line crossed.
Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.

For the first time, I want it all.

And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.


REVIEW: WISTFUL WHISPERS (CHARMING IRISH) BY KAYLENE WINTER

Wistful Whispers (Charming Irish #3)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Winter sends emotions into overdrive. Wistful Whispers is a tempting heartache that dares to expose it's soul. Seamus and Marcella are a little bit broken. Haunted by the ghosts from their pasts and their dreams for the present, yet somehow love finds a way. Spicy romance that manages to get under your skin and capture your heart.

The Royals by Louise Bay

Narrated by

Sebastian YorkAndi ArndtShane EastSaskia MaarleveldImogen Church







Get all FIVE multi-USA Today bestselling books!

King of Wall Street

At work, I’m King of Wall Street. The heaviest hitters in Manhattan come to me to make money. They do whatever I say because I’m always right. I’m shrewd. Exacting. Some say ruthless.

At home, I’m a single dad trying to keep his fourteen year old daughter a kid for as long as possible. If my daughter does what I say, somewhere there’s a snowball surviving in hell. And nothing I say is ever right.

When Harper Jayne starts as a junior researcher at my firm, the barriers between my worlds begin to dissolve. She’s the most infuriating woman I’ve ever worked with.

I don’t like the way she bends over the photocopier—it makes my mouth water.


I hate the way she’s so eager to do a good job—it makes my dick twitch.

And I can’t stand the way she wears her hair up exposing her long neck. It makes me want to strip her naked, bend her over my desk and trail my tongue all over her body.

If my two worlds are going to collide, Harper Jayne will have to learn that I don't just rule the boardroom. I’m in charge of the bedroom, too.

Duke of Manhattan

I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan.

A family feud means I need to inherit the title I’ve never wanted-so I need a wife.

I didn’t bargain on finding a one night stand across the boardroom table the next day. I wonder if she'll marry me?

The British Knight

Nothing and no one will stand in the way of my destiny. Not my ex-wife. Or opposing counsel. And certainly not Violet King, my disarmingly beautiful and annoyingly feisty new assistant.

Resisting this woman is more challenging than any court battle-and the only one I've secretly wanted to lose.

The Earl of London

On a spring morning in the English countryside, a tall, dark stranger emerges from the mist. He's all tousled hair, hard chest and perfectly kissable lips. I'm sure that’s a thunderclap of chemistry I feel between us.

Did I mention he’s an Earl with a self-made fortune?

A billionaire who works tirelessly for charity?

And he’s so hot, watching him is like staring at the sun.

Turns out the stranger's out to destroy everything I’ve dedicated my life to protect, the chemistry disappears and the hope that had blossomed my chest turns to rage.

Park Avenue Prince

I’ve made every one of my billions of dollars myself. I’m calculating, astute and the best at what I do. It leaves no time for love. Until an impatient, smart-talking, beyond beautiful heiress bursts into my world.

She might be a princess but I’m going to show her who rules her body.

Exposed Ink

By: Nikki Ash

Narrated by: Lexi Evans & Theo Sinclair


"...a celebration of the human spirit. Kinsley and Shane push the boundaries of emotion.... From tragedy, to triumph Evans and Sinclair speak to the soul....Ash has created something beautiful." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins




Blurb:

 

From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes a small town romance about finding love when you least expect it....


Kinsley:

Exposed Ink is my sanctuary, where I can hide behind the needles and ink, shielding my shattered heart from further pain and loss.

Until Shane, a firefighter and single dad, threatens to unravel the carefully constructed walls I’ve built to survive.

First, he saves my life—literally—and then he turns it upside down by making me long for things I can’t have.

He says he wants to get some ink done, but I know he wants something more… something I can’t give him—me.


Shane:

As a firefighter medic, I’m used to fixing physical wounds, but Kinsley’s scars run deeper.

To some, her brokenness might be perceived as a weakness, but I can see the strength buried deep.

With each passing day—and mark to my skin—I find myself falling harder for the striking beauty with the sad eyes.

She’s quickly tattooed herself on my heart, and I’m determined to be the one who shows her that love can heal even the deepest wounds.

I made a deal with my worst enemy. Now, he won’t let me go.

I had a sign a contract, escape to Ibiza, and rebuild my life.
It didn’t include Harrison King. A British billionaire with a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a reputation as ruthless as his business empire.

He’s the reason my world went up in flames. The last person I’d ever trust.
But he offers me a way out. One that comes with fine print and even finer temptation…and I can’t afford to say no.

Now, I’m in his world. Under his roof. Following his rules.
The fire between us is impossible to ignore, and the more I learn about the man behind the tailored suits and cocky smirk, the more dangerous he becomes...

Not because he’s my enemy.
Because he might be something more.

The Enemies Trilogy is a complete, sizzling, high-stakes billionaire romance filled with fierce chemistry, breathtaking twists, and irresistible tension. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, powerful heroes, and heroines who refuse to back down.
