🔥Black Cat x Golden Retriever

🔥One Night Stand

🔥Surprise Pregnancy

🔥He Falls First

🔥Billionaire Romance






Blurb:

Kitty Biedermann has three rules for a layover in a bar she already hates:


Don't stare at the gorgeous cowboy across the room

Don't go home with him

Never, ever see him again.


She breaks all three.


It doesn't matter. He's a stranger in a state she's sworn off for good, and by morning she'll never see him again.


Except two months later, the CEO of FMJ walks into her boardroom to buy out her family's failing jewelry empire. And he's the cowboy from the bar.

Ford Langley isn't broke. He isn't a stranger. And he's not going anywhere.

The only problem?

She's carrying his baby. She can't read a word of the contract he wants her to sign. And according to the tabloids, she's already a gold-digging disaster who can't run her own company.

Ford's job is to fix things that are broken and then move on. Kitty is the first thing he's ever wanted to keep.

Too bad "hostile takeover" was supposed to mean her company. Not her heart.

LAVENDER HILL by @auroraroser releasing October 13th!


"...the kind of heartache that speaks to the soul. Small town humor meets big city heart and never looks back." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


#PreOrderNow


Why you will love this book:

🌱Small Town Romance 

💜Return to Hometown 

🌱Opposites Attract 

💜Grumpy Sunshine 

🌱Sworn Off Relationships

💜Protective, Loyal, Alpha Sheriff

🌱Meddling, Matchingmaking Mother

💜Dog Dad




From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a heartwarming small-town romance about a woman returning to the roots that shaped her—and finding a love that will heal her.

Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all began: Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.

Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search-and-rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.

And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.

Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.

At First Catch (Coral Bell Cove #2) by Renee Harless is coming soon!


Universal: https://mybook.to/atfirstcatch

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTTDZX9J




“You're worth difficult."

“Nobody's ever said something like that to me before.”



“I came here to rebuild a marina. Somewhere along the way I started building a life around the woman standing in front of me.”



 “I can't decide whether I want to take this slowly, or skip ahead to the part where this is the rest of my life.”






Some mistakes are worth making twice.


Hadley Wright never expected one unforgettable night with a stranger to become the beginning of something she couldn't forget. After slipping away before sunrise, she's convinced she'll never see the quiet, guarded man who made her feel safe on one of the hardest nights of her life again.


Until he walks right back into Coral Bell Cove.


Nolan Pierce has spent his entire life believing it's easier not to need anyone. Buying the town's struggling marina is supposed to be his fresh start—not falling for the woman who comes from the loud, loving family he's never had.


But while Hadley believes love means showing up, Nolan is convinced it means protecting the people he cares about... even if that means shutting them out.


Now they're both about to discover that falling in love is the easy part.


Trusting someone enough to stay might change everything.



At First Catch is a heartfelt, steamy small-town romance featuring a one-night stand, found family, slow-burn chemistry, meddling siblings, marina life, and a hero who falls first, falls hard, and learns that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is let someone stand beside you.

"From daring to endearing, At First Spark is a whisper of hearts searching for a place to belong. Harless stirs up trouble with a second romance that sticks to the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)







Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.



Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.



The one who shows up.


The one who stays.


Even for her.



What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.



Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.



And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.



At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

Most college-aged girls go to Europe to experience their sexual awakening. All I had to do was come home.

Ford Dalton isn’t the kind of man I’d look at twice―because I can’t stop looking at him at all.

One night would never be long enough for Ford to show me every delicious thing he can do to my body.

But there’s something he’s keeping from me: he’s already met the love of his life. His daughter, Everly.

And there’s something I’m keeping from him: I just applied for the job of my dreams.

Everly’s new nanny.

Blurb:

Tennis is my life. Work hard. Win clean. Trust no one but yourself. That’s how you become number one.

Too bad Cordon University only worships Bryson Moss—the golden boy quarterback I’ve despised since our train wreck of a first meeting three years ago.

Now he wants a favor I can’t afford to refuse. His sister’s dating app needs a power couple for launch, and I need the cash to stay in school.

The contract is simple: fake the romance, fool the internet, cash the checks.

Except our chemistry isn’t fake. The banter, the tension, the way he looks at me when no one’s watching—it’s all devastatingly real. When we go viral, the pressure intensifies. And when my body betrays me on the court, threatening everything I’ve worked for, Bryson won’t let me quit.

I’ve always believed champions stand alone.

But what if falling for my enemy is the bravest thing I’ve ever done?

BLURB:

In the game of love, it’s hard to level the playing field when your opponent is the one who got away.

I was nine years old when I claimed Charlie King as mine. We were in love — high school sweethearts — until one devastating day when it all fell apart.

Two years later, she’s back in my life and needs a place to live. Sure, she’s infuriating, and her kissable smart mouth keeps me on my toes, but her being in my space falls into my plan to get her back.

Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with me but I’ll be damned if I let her walk out of my life again. Even if it means the dark secrets of my past will come rushing back to haunt us both.

When we’re down to the wire, it’s time to make a counter play and win my girl back for good.

Claimed by the Mountain Man by Shaw Hart is #nowlive!

Read on Kindle Unlimited







I ran from one man trying to own me… straight into another who actually will.

Scout
I should have known something was up when my father started acting nice and caring towards me.
He’s never been the nurturing type. He’s never really paid me much attention at all, too busy hiding from loan sharks or drinking himself to sleep.
Still, when he starts to pay attention to me, I can’t deny that a part of me is hoping that our relationship might finally be improving.
Then he leads me into the chapel and informs me that I’m there to marry one of the loan sharks that he owes.
So, I do the only thing that I can.
I run.
When my car breaks down on the side of the road, I think that I’m screwed.
Then he shows up and I know that I am.

Carter
I’ve been enjoying the peace and quiet of my cabin when a car breaks down out front and out steps an angel.
An angel in a wedding dress.
I know right then and there that fate has brought me this girl, that she belongs to me.
I don’t know who was stupid enough to lose her, but I won’t be making that mistake.
This girl is mine.
She’s in my cabin, sleeping in my bed, wearing my clothes.
She thinks that she can’t leave because I need to fix her car. She’s about to learn that I’m never going to let her go.
I’ve found my dream girl.
Now all that’s left is for me to claim her.


REVIEW: CLAIMED BY THE MOUNTAIN MAN (WILDWOOD ALPHAS) BY SHAW HART 

Claimed By The Mountain Man
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dangerous attraction meets instant heartache. Scout and Carter are love on the edge. Hart brings passion to life. Temptation finds it's soulmate.

A Very Grumpy Green Beret by Shaw Hart releases on September 25th!

https://geni.us/VeryGrumpyGB


Read On All Platforms




I only needed a place to hide. I didn’t expect the town’s grumpiest Green Beret to decide I was his.

Perry
I came to Wolf Valley to disappear.
So, the last thing I wanted was attention, especially not from the towering, scarred, permanently scowling man who lives in the cabin at the edge of town.
Luca Kane.
He barely speaks, barely smiles, and somehow always knows when something’s wrong.
When my tire blows on a deserted road, he’s there.
When a stranger asks too many questions, he’s suddenly at my side.
When my past comes creeping too close, he steps in without hesitation.
He fixes things I never asked him to, protects me like it’s instinct, and looks at me like he already knows all my secrets.
And that terrifies me, because I didn’t come here to fall in love, and I definitely didn’t come here to belong to a man like him.

Luca
I left the military to be alone.
No more noise, chaos, or attachments.
Then Perry walks into town with haunted eyes that she tries to hide behind a smile.
The second I look at her, something inside me locks into place.
She says she’s fine, but I know that’s a lie.
She jumps at shadows, sleeps with the lights on, and flinches like she expects the world to hurt her again.
Not on my watch.
Whatever she’s running from will have to come through me.
And that won’t end well for them because I didn’t survive war just to lose the woman who owns my heart.
And she is mine.
Whether she’s ready to admit it or not.

Rebel Moon by Tess Thompson releases on September 29th!

https://geni.us/RebelMoon


Read With Kindle Unlimited




She made him a star. He'll never forgive her for it.

Knox Hartley cares about one thing: the music. As lead guitarist for Jack Wilder — the best in the business, and everybody knows it — the songs were always supposed to be enough on their own. Then Madeleine Price got hold of them. For ten years she’s been the band’s publicist: brilliant, untouchable, and the reason they’re everywhere — packaging the music, selling it, turning something honest into product with her fingerprints on every platinum record.

To Knox, she took the one thing that was pure and handed it to the machine. He resents all of it. He resents her most of all.
What Knox doesn’t know is what it cost her to become the woman he can’t stand.

Madeleine built herself from nothing — reinvented a poor girl from nowhere into the sharpest publicist in country music, one flawless version of herself at a time, long before she ever met Jack and the band. The polish is armor. The control is survival. And the one thing she can’t afford is for anyone to see the girl underneath — least of all the man who’s spent a decade looking at her like she’s the enemy.

Now they’re both stuck at the most public wedding of the year: a monthlong Christmas celebration at Crescent Moon Ranch, where the bride keeps seating them together and there’s nowhere to hide from the one person who gets under her skin like no one else.

But a Montana December has a way of wearing down the oldest defenses. Beneath ten years of sharp words and slammed doors, Knox starts to catch glimpses of who Madeleine really is — and a secret she’s guarded since long before the band. She isn’t the woman he decided she was. She never was. And the more he sees, the more he wants the one person he swore he’d never forgive.

Enemies. Opposites. The worst possible person to want.

And the last person either of them planned to fall for.

A closed-door enemies-to-lovers romance. Forced proximity, a heroine with a secret, and ten years of simmering resentment that was never really hate.

Talking Heat by JL Stray releases on September 24th!

https://geni.us/TalkingHeat

Read With Kindle Unlimited


"Stray delivers a steamy battle of hearts that awakens the senses. Attraction stirs up trouble. Sparks Fly, hearts break and love just may find a way. " - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



She's looking for redemption. He's looking for a new beginning. Neither expected to find both in each other.

My rookie coaching season didn't end the way I'd imagined. It ended in scandal.

Now I'm in Tampa, trying to rebuild my reputation with the Blaze, the NWSL's newest expansion team and a franchise that Florida still isn't sure it wants. This was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to focus on soccer and prove I belong. Making friends was never part of the plan.

Then Ash Monroe, our starting goal keepers’ brother, keeps showing up.

At first, he's just a familiar face who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, determined to start conversations I'd rather avoid. I've spent months keeping everyone at a distance, convinced it's the safest way to move forward. But somehow, he slips past my defenses.

As Ash struggles to navigate a new reality and a future he never expected, I find myself caring about him in ways I never intended. The more time we spend together, the more I realize we're both searching for the same thing: a place to belong after everything we thought we knew fell apart.

The problem? Being with him feels dangerously familiar. Like I'm falling into old patterns, chasing a story I've already lived through once before.

And I'm not sure if this time the ending will be any different.


REVIEW: TALKING HEAT (FORBIDDEN HEAT) BY J.L. STRAY

Talking Heat: The Forbidden Heat Series
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stray delivers a steamy battle of hearts that awakens the senses. Talking Heat is a firecracker that shines bright. Attraction stirs up trouble. Sparks Fly, hearts break and love just may find a way.
