BLURB:

Back in college, I made a pact with Presley Grant—if we were both still single at thirty, we’d marry each other.

It was a joke. A fallback plan we never thought we’d need.

Now I’m an NFL star, playing for Presley’s father’s team, and she’s the team doctor—completely off-limits. But when an injury puts me under her care in the offseason, old chemistry resurfaces fast … and inescapably.

Then tragedy strikes.

Now I’m the legal guardian of my sister’s two young children, facing a custody battle I might lose. Because no matter how much I love them, the court might not see my career as stable.

And Presley ... her dream of opening a football camp for underprivileged kids hinges on one seemingly impossible condition: she must be married or thirty-five years old to access her trust fund.

So, I make a proposal and cash in on our pact.

It’s supposed to solve everything—my family, her future. Temporary. Controlled. Nothing more.

But living together, raising two kids, and pretending to be in love—it starts to feel dangerously real.

And when the time comes to walk away … neither of us is sure we can.

Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.’

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

What to expect:

🔥Coach and player romance

❤️Childhood friends to lovers

🚫Twist on taboo

👸🏻Female breaking barriers

💘He falls first and he falls hard

🏟️Small-town baseball

Blurb:

Jayden Vargas and I have history, a past I’ve finally moved on from. But when my dream job pairs me with the only guy to ever break my heart, old wounds surface, and buried feelings come right along with them.

My father is the winningest baseball coach in Texas history, and Jayden Vargas was his favorite player. While my softball skills were elite enough to pay for college, my best friend Jayden was destined for the majors. My dad knew it then. And so did I. Maybe that’s why I fell for him. Or perhaps it was his sad eyes and perfect dimples. One thing is certain, a desperate kiss after the state championship our senior year made those feelings impossible to outrun.

Then he ghosted me completely. Years of friendship gone. My person, no longer a phone call away. The perfect kiss . . . tainted. So I focused on my game. And I turned my talent into the job my father always wanted—an MLB hitting coach.

I’m the first female member of the Sweetwater Mavericks coaching staff. The weight of it isn’t lost on me. And I have my sights set on breaking down more barriers. I’m determined not to let anything get in my way. Not even Mavericks star player Jayden Vargas.

Even if I’ve always been his biggest fan.

So what if it turns out he’s always been mine.

#CoverReveal

Marni Mann has revealed the cover for the deluxe print edition of The Single Dad!

"The thrill of attraction with the burn of emotion. From steamy entanglements to heartbreaking upsets, The Single Dad serenaded the heart with electricity that leaves behind a heated soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer)

Releasing: September 8, 2026

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.

We can’t take our hands off each other in the bar. Back at his house, it’s our lips. And in his bed? There isn’t a single part of us that’s not on fire.

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.

#ComingSoon

Coming soon to retailers, At First Sight by Renee Harless ...

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.
