BLURB

Camden

The day she left town was the day I changed. Maren Holm walked away without so much as a glance back, taking my heart with her. Everything we had talked about, planned for, the life I thought we both wanted together, just vanished, leaving me alone and miserable. That’s when old Camden was replaced with the fun-loving, carefree guy I am today.

Then, out of the blue, she returned.

My new next-door neighbor and I have a past, and it’s one I don’t want to dredge up. The problem is she has a son. The cutest three-year-old boy, who pulls at the strings of my damaged heart and refuses to let go. Together, they make me want…more.

But I just don’t know if I’m capable of giving her my heart a second time.

Maren

Returning to Cooper Town was exactly what I needed. I wanted my son, Theo, to experience all the perks of small-town living. With the help of my dad, I found the perfect location to start over. Except, my new neighbor and I have a history. A very painful one, and even though I knew I’d likely run into him again, I never expected it to be in my own driveway.

Suddenly, my past is standing directly in front of me again.

He’s still angry, not that I blame him. I walked away from him, from the life we both wanted. It wasn’t easy or right, but I had my reasons. Now, being around him is stirring up old feelings, especially when I see him with my son. Their bond is instant, and before I know it, I’m being drawn right back in to the Camden I used to know and love.

Only this time, it’s not just my heart I’m risking, but Theo’s too.

REVIEW: A SIMPLE REGRET (COOPER TOWN BOYS #4) BY LACEY BLACK


A Simple Regret (Cooper Town Boys #4)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nostalgia has a mean left hook when it comes to matters of the heart. Black takes emotions on a haunting stroll down memory lane. Young love and teen angst collide in an explosive, yet heartbreaking, second chance. From what ifs to maybe this time is a tempestuous dance with destiny that speaks to the soul.

Sweetwater Mavericks players are good for one thing—tips. I’ve been serving the latest crop of minor league ballers to hit my town every spring and summer for the past four years, and while I dream about life away from Sweetwater, I know that I’m tied to my hometown as long as my father needs me. As fun as one-night stands and summer flings are, they never lead anywhere good. Real love doesn’t exist—my mother taught me that.

Hunter Reddick is the talk of the league. He never backs down from a challenge. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, winning run on third? He’s throwing a fast ball for the win. But when Hunter and his new teammates come into my bar, he makes his move on me, not expecting to get benched.

Just as he decides to give up, my carefully guarded walls start to break down. Maybe a summer fling isn’t such a bad idea after all. Except Hunter wants more than a summer. He wants falls, and winters, and something real. And he’s set his sights on me. The one girl who can’t give him that.

BLURB:

One saint.

One Sinner.

A temptation neither can resist.

Delilah Simms was seventeen-years-old when she escaped a religious cult and left behind everything she had ever known. Thrust into a wildly different world, she’s torn between holding on to her shredded faith and abandoning it completely.

Pope Blackwell gave up on faith long ago. When his father wasn’t preaching from the good book, he was beating his bad son. Eventually Pope decided to embrace his sinful nature. When he meets Delilah, she’s far too young, too innocent, too good for a man like him. So he pushes her away. Five years later, the last place he ever expected to see her was working at Lupus et Agnus—a private underground club all about sensual exploration.

Delilah is done playing at sainthood. She finally knows exactly who she is, and she’s not ashamed to chase her desires. Delilah’s putting her faith in Pope Blackwell, but she’ll have to fight the demons of his past to get him to believe in their future.

Addictive and sensual, DECONSTRUCTING DELILAH, is a dark age gap romance for anyone who knows what it is to start over and to find yourself amidst the broken pieces

Trapped Truth by J Rose is now live!





Once my teammates and fellow agents.
Now… my family. My salvation.


After a brutal operation to cripple our enemies, we’re left wounded. Shattered. Forced into hiding to pick up the broken pieces.

But this case is far from over. Something far more dangerous is brewing in the shadows.

With the Anaconda Team at my side, I’ve confronted the monsters from my past. Those demons no longer own me. All I want now is a future with the four men I’ve come to call mine.

Yet hiding won’t save us.
Not from what’s coming.

When a familiar foe emerges to command the criminal empire that once held me captive, the family I’ve fought so hard to protect becomes their next target.

To survive, we must stand together. As loyalties are tested and our bonds pushed to their breaking point, old enemies become unlikely allies, and every decision comes with a body count.

Asset 768 survived so Ember Lawson could walk free. Now I must fight for us both to earn our freedom once and for all.

Justice is mine for the taking.
If the truth doesn’t kill us first.

Author’s Note: Set in the J Rose shared universe, Trapped Truth (Anaconda Tales #3) is the explosive conclusion to this dark, why choose trilogy that must be read in order.

Series blurb:

The Ice is heating up… and love is the ultimate goal.

Welcome to the world of the Chicago Phoenixes, where the competition is fierce, the chemistry is undeniable, and every player is one bad decision away from losing more than just the game.

This interconnected multi-author hockey romance series is stacked with some of your favorite sports romance tropes like forced proximity, forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract sparks, fake relationships that turn real, the heart-tugging heat of single parents and secret babies. Each story has the kind of emotional, steamy happily ever after readers can’t get enough of.

These pro hockey players know how to handle pressure on the ice—but off the ice? That’s where things really get complicated.

The puck drops now… let the season of love begin.

BLURB:

Welcome to Seint Manor.

Where villains are created and devils are born …

My name is Abraham Crowley.

My friends call me Bram.

And I never wanted to be a bad guy.

From the moment I was born on the streets, the cards were stacked against me. And ever since, I’ve been forced to do things I never wanted in order to survive and protect those smaller and weaker than me.

Now, as a man, that need to save the people I care for has led to a deal with the devil. And with my identity hidden behind a plague doctor mask, I know my mountain of sins greatly outweighs any good I've managed to give to this world.

But there’s a yearning in my blackened heart for the woman I spent decades searching for-—a woman I can never have-—and with that longing, there’s hope that if I can hold tight to what I feel for her …

Then, maybe it'll be enough to keep me from becoming the devil hanging over my shoulder …
