Blurb:

Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasn’t the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.

But showing him my bare backside wasn’t in my plans either.

When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.

I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.

But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldn’t resist his plea.

Or his massive physique—the one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.

The problem with living together though is there’s little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that he’s like a nut I want to crack open.

And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungs—and reignites my creativity as well.

But I gave myself a deadline to figure out what’s next.

Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.

Turns out the heart doesn’t care, even when you’re on borrowed time.

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

#ExcerptReveal






Love and Warner by S.L. Scott is releasing, December 29th!


Who cares if the soulful blue of his eyes lures me in every time he stares at me like he wants to either kiss me or kill me? It might be both. Either way, he looks good.


"Scott aims for the senses and wreaks havoc on the soul. Walking through a storm cloud has never felt this exciting. Feelings run deep, attraction runs wild and heartache seems inevitable." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




#Excerpt


Just enough light streams into the room to see Warner lying on his back next to me. My heart finds a rhythm with the sound of his steady breathing, calming my initial concerns. He’s handsome when he sleeps, like he is when he’s awake, but more so when he’s not speaking. He has a knack for pushing my buttons. In the peace of his sleep, I can pretend he’s not an awful human being trying to destroy my family’s lives.
Lying here, I drape my arm across my forehead and stare up at the ceiling. With Warner’s hand on my thigh and the scent of his soap floating in the air, my thoughts scroll through snapshots of the past twenty-four hours. I let this man believe he’s my husband.
Squeezing my eyes shut, I inhale a deep breath and look at him again. The bridge of his nose has the slightest of bumps, and his full lips appear soft in the morning light juxtaposed against the hard cut of his jawline. The hills and valleys of his muscular shoulders lead my gaze across his chest, but a heaviness weighs on mine, causing me to look away. I take a deep breath, refusing to get caught up in him.
Everything I learned from the old con-job movies I used to watch with my dad taught me that Warner is a target. My target. That’s it. Stay focused on the job at hand.
On the edge of delirium last night, I had to make a choice. Whether it was a wise decision or not remains to be seen. But today, I’m fully committed. It’s not like I have another option at this point.
Warner Landers has made himself clear.
It’s time I do the same. I’m not here to play. I’m here to win him over and talk some sense into him.
He was testing me last night. He’ll do it again today. I have to be ready for him, or I’ll give myself away.
I only wish I didn’t love the feel of his hand spanning the inside of my thigh like I do.

Tropes 


Enemies to Lovers


Fake Dating


Age Gap


Grumpy x Sunshine


Billionaire






They say all is fair in love and war. Clearly, they haven’t met Warner Landers.

 

The ruthless billionaire had me begging him to spare my family’s restaurant from a buyout. In response, he shamelessly flirted and walked away wearing a smug smirk.

 

Karma strikes, literally, when he crosses the street.

 

Unconscious, he’s rushed to the hospital, and for some unknown reason, I’m swept in right after him as if I know this man—or worse, that I’m married to him.

 

Am I in too much shock to deny the allegation? Yes.

Am I still using his short-term amnesia to my advantage? Absolutely.

 

Playing the doting wife to a grumpy CEO won’t be easy, but I’m determined to save my family’s livelihood. I just didn’t expect him to be a changed man after the accident. Far graver (for me), the iciness between us begins to thaw, and our fake marriage starts to feel real, making it easy to forget my mission.

 

When his memory begins to return, so does the truth. We’re at war, and falling for the enemy wasn’t part of the plan.



REVIEWLOVE AND WARNER BY S.L. SCOTT

Love and Warner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Walking through a storm cloud has never felt this exciting. From bruised egos to broken hearts, Love and Warner brings enough passion to turn emotions inside out. Delaney and Warner are chaos personified. Feelings run deep, attraction runs wild and heartache seems inevitable. Scott aims for the senses and wreaks havoc on the soul.

Blurb:

I’m the last single LeBlanc brother—famous in New Orleans for being a successful CEO…and a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasn’t on my to-do list…until my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.

Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. I’m running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.

So when I space out during Piper’s pitch, she assumes I’m hungover. Given my reputation, I can’t blame her—but it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I don’t need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.

However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitch…except I’m far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.

I shouldn’t want Piper. I can’t afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.
