🔥Nanny/Single Dad

🔥Opposites Attract

🔥Grumpy Sunshine

🔥Found Family

🔥Matchmaking 

🔥Romcom





She's horribly unqualified...and everything they both need.


Travis

The last time I saw my ex-fling, she was toasting her engagement to a record producer. So when I heard she'd had a baby, I assumed he was the father...until she showed up at my house seven years later with a little boy and said, "Your turn."


I’m a musician. My life is already loud and chaotic enough, and it's definitely not kid-friendly. But I was raised by a nanny, and I see no harm in finding one for my son.


Too bad he rejects every single person I hire.


The only person he actually likes? Not a nanny. She's a friend of a friend and the former floor manager at a brewery. But she has just enough childcare experience that I offer her the job out of desperation...and instantly regret it.


Hannah is a bossy, opinionated, loud-mouthed hurricane of a woman who tests my patience, my sanity, and my number one rule: don't fall for the nanny. 


Hannah

Let the record show, I am not a professional nanny. I did, however, raise my little brother, so I know my way around a juice box and a tantrum. Which is more than Travis can say.


My new boss is uptight, obsessive, and needs more help than his kid does.


I was determined to pop in, whip things into shape, and leave, but the more I get to know them, the more I want to stay...


**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series of interconnected standalones**


Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes

2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.


Please choose the version that's best for you!

Lena
Holden James was my everything—my first love, my future, or so I thought.
When he left after our high school graduation, he shattered my heart, and I promised myself I’d never look back.
Now, he’s returned to Lilac Harbor, acting like he can waltz back into my life as if nothing happened.
He says he can explain, but I won’t listen.
I’m stronger now, smarter. I’m not the girl who once believed in forever with him.
He broke me once, and I’ll be damned if I let him do it again.

Holden
Leaving Lena behind was the hardest decision of my life, but I did it for her.
Now that I’m back in Lilac Harbor, I’m ready to make things right.
Lena doesn’t trust me, doesn’t even want to look at me.
But I didn’t come back for easy.
I came back for her, and I’ll do whatever it takes to show her that the love we shared isn’t over.
I’ve waited years for this second chance, and I won’t let her slip away without a fight.

#ComingSoon




A Holly Brown Christmas by Samantha Chase is releasing November 4th!




The holidays are Holly Brown’s favorite time of year. There’s nothing she loves more than the fun, festivities and the company Christmas party…namely because it means she gets to spend time with Lucas Brooks—her coworker and her boss’s son. When she learns that the party is getting canceled thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Brooks’ impending divorce, Holly takes it upon herself to save the party. And if she just so happens to bring her boss and his wife back together in the process, that’s just more cause for celebration. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s the perfect opportunity to work one-on-one with Lucas.


Getting into the holiday spirit is the last thing Lucas wants to do. With his parents dragging him into their divorce drama, he’s just not feeling all that festive. But that’s not exactly anything new. For Lucas, the holidays just meant less work, and he never got what all the fuss was about, especially when his family cared more about appearances than spending time together. When a friend suggests he take over planning the company Christmas party from his parents, he’s less than thrilled by the idea. Then Holly shows up with all her holiday cheer, and he finds it hard to say no. Or not be affected by her effusive joy.


With Holly’s help, Lucas realizes there’s more to Christmas than a perfectly decorated house that’s all glitz and no heart. And that the true meaning of Christmas isn’t gifts and perfection—it’s about hope, togetherness, and the quiet joy that can light up even the saddest little pine.

SWEET SMALL TOWN ROMANCE FANS: THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!



He's a superstar on the run. She's a hidden talent with a shattered past. In Sweetlove, their colliding worlds might just create the perfect harmony.

Gia Krane was once the next big thing in music until betrayal shattered her trust, and a corrupt label left her career in ruins. Now, she’s just a bartender with a guitar, playing small gigs and guarding her heart behind sharp wit and high walls. Music still lives in her bones, but the spotlight? She walked away from that life years ago.

Country music superstar Wyatt Cade has everything: fame, fortune, and a wildly successful indie label. But after the tragic death of his best friend on tour, the music that once saved him has gone silent. Seeking inspiration and solitude, he escapes to the quiet town of Sweetlove Mountain, hoping to find peace…and maybe himself.

What he finds instead is her.

The order was simple. Kidnap Sloane Brennan, daughter of my father’s enemy. Take her to Italy. Leave her with one of his contacts, who would hold her as leverage to make her father behave.

But when it comes to Sloane Brennan, nothing is simple.

I’ve loved this girl my entire life. Spilled my own blood to protect her. Tasted more of her than I should have.

And now that she’s in my hands again, I want her back. I want the hot nights. The feel of her skin under my fingertips. Her passion running through my veins like a drug.

My father thought he was sending me to kidnap her and turn her over.

But one flash of her silver eyes and I already know I won’t.

Sloane Brennan is mine. And I’ll kill any many who tries to take her from me.

No matter how many wars it starts.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

DARK. DANGEROUS. AND NOW LIVE!


Taken by Sinistre Ange is here.







The only thing worse than being taken?
Realizing how much I like it.

I’m a good girl. I go to school, keep my head down, stay out of everyone’s way and pray nobody notices me. And for the most part, they don’t.

Until him.

He doesn’t just notice me. He watches me from the shadows, stalking my every move. And when the time is right—he takes me.

Now I’m trapped with this beast of a man, the largest, most terrifying human I’ve ever laid eyes on. Every attempt at escape is met with a swift, humiliating punishment.

Worse yet than his painful discipline is the pleasure he forces on me. Pleasure so intense, it sometimes seems like more than I can possibly bear. With him, my life becomes a mess of confusing contradictions. Until I can no longer tell pain from pleasure…

Or madness from desire.

Light of Day by Jennifer Bernard releases on August 26th!




Available on All Platforms







From USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Bernard comes a brand new small-town romantic suspense series on Sea Smoke Island set in coastal Maine where wealth and long-held secrets are about to wash up with the tide. 

Each standalone romance reveals the danger hidden in this charming small town… and the love powerful enough to survive it.


Some secrets are buried deep. On Sea Smoke Island, digging them up could cost you everything...including your heart.

Heather McPhee swore she’d keep her distance from Sea Smoke Island—she escaped the reputation of the “messy McPhees” and intended to keep it that way. But when her best friend and podcast co-host vanishes after uncovering a bombshell story on the remote Maine island, Heather has no choice but to go back.

Luke Carmichael also thought he left the drama of his powerful family behind. Banished from their elite resort and raising his daughter on his own, the island constable prefers a quiet life. Until Heather storms back into town, stirring up old ghosts.

As they investigate Gabby’s disappearance, Heather and Luke uncover a generations-old conspiracy tied to the elite Carmichael resort, one someone will kill to protect. And as sparks fly between the messy McPhee and the renegade Carmichael, they’ll have to decide what’s worth risking—the truth, their lives… or their hearts.

Because on Sea Smoke Island, some secrets refuse to stay buried. And the truth always comes to light.


REVIEW: LIGHT OF DAY (SEA SMOKE ISLAND) BY JENNIFER BERNARD

A revelation of truth that spreads it's wings and exposes it's soul. Bernard delivers drama, heart and romance wrapped within a mysterious package. From past secrets to present half truths, Luke and Heather are haunted by a dangerously uncertain canvas. Light of Day is an intriguing twist of fate that exposes it's heart with soul searching and mind bending accuracy.

IS THE DAME'S TIME RUNNING OUT?


There's really only one way to find out...

Preorder your copy of Snatching the Chronos Hourglass by Brenda Trim today!




🔗 https://geni.us/Chronos




My name is Nylah Gilbert, and my work-life balance is absolutely shot.

By day, I'm a firefighter dealing with ordinary emergencies like kitchen fires and idiots who think fireworks belong indoors. By night, I'm apparently the universe's go-to girl for hunting down ancient artifacts that want to murder everyone.

Because naturally, when my grandmother's antique watch starts having a temporal breakdown and clockwork beetles invade my living room, someone thought, "Hey, let's dump this on the middle-aged mom who's already juggling a full-time job, teenage daughters, and a husband who turns furry once a month."

Thanks, universe. Really feeling the love here.

Now I've got fragments of some godly hourglass burning holes in my bag, my husband's been yeeted into another timeline, and my girls are casting spells between homework assignments like it's totally normal. Did I mention the fanatical cult trying to rewrite history? Because that's apparently my weekend now.

The Brotherhood thinks they can use the Chronos Hourglass to "cleanse" the world of technology. What they're actually going to do is turn everyone into medieval peasants while they play god with the timeline. Over my dead body.

I've got my best friends Kaiya and Aeira watching my back, a Pegasus who's seen some serious stuff, and enough magical firepower to level a city block. The universe picked the wrong part-time Relic Keeper to mess with.

Time's running out—literally—and if I don't stop these lunatics before dawn, Washington D.C. becomes ground zero for the apocalypse. No pressure or anything.

Good thing I've always been better at putting out fires than starting them. Though at this point, I might have to burn down half the world to save it.

Snatching the Chronos Hourglass - because when time goes sideways, someone's got to clock out and save the world.

Did she find the Daddy of her dreams... or a nightmare? 
Daddy Dreadful by Sadie Minx is now available to preorder! 



🔗 https://geni.us/Daddy_Dreadful




They call him Dreadful. I call him… Daddy.

I came to the island looking for the sweet, gentle Daddy of my dreams.

Instead, I got him.

Doctor Donovan Graves. A sick, twisted man who gets off on the pain of others.

Especially Little girls like me.

I tried to leave. Tried to tell him I wasn’t staying on this godforsaken island with him another second.

But what I thought was my escape, was really my damnation.

Because now there’s nothing holding him back from claiming me in every filthy, humiliating way he wants. From examining every inch of my body and subjecting me to the most painful pleasures I’ve ever endured.

Instead of the Daddy of my dreams, I found the Daddy of my nightmares.

And I’m starting to hope I never wake up…

Prince of the Northwest Forest by Leslie McAdam is coming soon on August 29th!

If the forest prince is straight, why does it seem like he wants to kiss me? And will I end up regretting it if I let him?



#Preorder

https://geni.us/PrinceofNW

Read with Kindle Unlimited

 






If the forest prince is straight, why does it seem like he wants to kiss me? And will I end up regretting it if I let him?


I spend my mornings working as a barista and my afternoons hiking in the woods trying to find a way into the realm of the fae. Those tricksters stole something from me, and I want it back.

Then I meet Prince Kalle, who has a wicked scar on his face, a sword at his hip, and the rare ability to talk to animals. We form an easy friendship, in part because he’s searching the woods for something, too: his missing brother.


Kalle is tall, dark, handsome, kind, and not into men. I tell myself to smother my budding attraction to him, which is especially difficult to do when our quest has us sharing a very small tent.


Am I just imagining that he’s sending me mixed signals?


Regardless, I need to leave him alone. If Kalle doesn’t find his brother, he’ll have to marry the princess of a rival realm to save his forest from destruction. But losing him might destroy my heart.


Is there any way Kalle won’t have to choose between saving his land and subjects … and me?


Prince of the Northwest Forest is a lower-angst, spicy, male/male urban fantasy romance. Prince Kalle and commoner Justice trek through snowy woods wearing hooded cloaks and carrying lanterns … and maybe falling in love along the way. Expect cute animal sidekicks, cozy visits to the cottagecore homes of wood nymphs, firecat attacks, and revealed secrets. It’s book four of the Runaway Prince Hotel shared world series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.
