SWEET TROUBLE

Can this former bad boy show his high school crush he has what it takes to be her man?

Tripp Lawrence earned his reputation as Sugarville Grove’s biggest heartbreaker. And even if the title doesn’t fit him anymore, it doesn’t matter. He won’t let himself get tied down to a woman now, because the only one who ever really caught his eye got away years ago.

They say opposites attract, and that couldn’t have been truer for Tripp’s teen infatuation with smart, serious Jillian Johnson. But even though his popularity and athletic prowess back then had every other girl in school weak in the knees, Jillian wouldn’t give him the time of day. And when she moved away he pretty much gave up on ever finding the one.

But when Jillian returns to small town Sugarville Grove just in time for the holidays with two adorable little girls in tow, Tripp finds his heart pounding and his palms sweating over his crush all over again.

If only he hadn’t made such a terrible impression on her back in high school…

Can Tripp reform his ways and show Jillian that he’s a new man now?

It might just take a Christmas miracle, the help of the whole crew at the Lawrence family farm, and two very special little girls…




UNSCRIPTED CHRISTMAS

Can a Hollywood star and a small-town speech therapist turn their impossible attraction into forever?

Jason Hayes has spent years chasing success and finally catching it. With a hit television show, a producer credit, and a future locked in Hollywood, he should feel fulfilled. Instead, when filming shuts down for December, he finds himself craving something fame has never given him. So he heads home to Sugarville Grove… and straight back into the orbit of the woman he can't stop thinking about.

Mauve didn't plan to fall for a famous actor, especially not after rebuilding her life post-divorce. Trading New York City for a quiet Vermont town gave her peace, purpose, and a job she loves helping children find their voices. Jason was supposed to be a fun, fleeting holiday spark. Nothing more.

Then came three perfect days in Los Angeles. Now he's back for Christmas and unable to stay away from the woman who's been on his mind ever since.

As snowy nights, cozy traditions, and Sugarville Grove’s tight-knit community pull them closer, Mauve sees past the celebrity to the man beneath—the one who's always dreamed of the family he never had. Jason, meanwhile, begins to wonder if the life he's built means anything without someone to share it with.

They want the same things. They just live in different worlds.

This Christmas, they'll have to decide whether to chase separate dreams on opposite coasts or risk everything for the love they both want.

Fake Dating, Forbidden Hockey Romance Fans, This one's for you!



Release (Stingrays Hockey Book 4) by @maricarrauthor


Narrated by Colt Carter & @Suzanne_t_fortin


Production Coordination by @pinkflamingo_productions

Blurb: 


He’s her PR nightmare. She’s his forbidden fantasy. Falling in love was never part of the game.



Tank Phillips scores big – on the ice and everywhere else. But when a wild night with two puck bunnies explodes across social media, the team’s golden boy becomes a PR disaster. Benched, blasted, and one headline away from tanking his career, he’s handed one last chance: Fix your image…with a wholesome fake girlfriend.



McKenna Bailey never signed up for this.


She’s the Stingrays’ brand-new social media manager – more comfortable with analytics dashboards than athletes – and now she’s stuck babysitting the team’s most notorious bad boy. Tank calls her mouse, forgets her name, and grins like he’s allergic to consequences.



But pretending to date him?


That’s a level of chaos even her spreadsheets can’t save her from.



Yet the closer they fake it, the harder it gets to deny the spark snapping to life between them. Tank’s charm isn’t supposed to work on a good girl…especially a good girl who’s never taken a risk like this before.



McKenna has her own secret – one that could blow everything up: she’s the estranged daughter of Coach Fields.



When the truth comes out, Coach delivers Tank a stern warning – stay away from my daughter.



Too bad Tank’s always been better at breaking rules than following them--especially when the one thing he wants most is finally within reach.

🩷Heat and heart and HEA




PROMISE
L.B. Dunbar





Blurb:

A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.

Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.

Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.

Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.

Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, I’ll do anything to keep her.

Enter Dart Rivers again.

An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s still mine.

Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man I’ve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.

But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dart’s new promises?

Rogue River series is a spin-off from the Sterling Falls series, specifically Sterling Touch, giving readers small-town romances with characters over 40.


REVIEW: PROMISE (ROGUE RIVER #1) BY L.B. DUNBAR

Calling all Satan's Keepers MC fans: 


THE SERIES CONCLUSION IS HERE!


Pushing Styxx by @landauthor is available now!





Family is everything, even if it's one you never saw coming.


Styxx

Six months ago, my life was chrome, asphalt, and club business. Now, it’s colic, three a.m. feedings, and trying to figure out how a man with blood on his hands is supposed to raise a daughter. Getting my own place away from the clubhouse was supposed to give us a fresh start, but now I’m drowning. And my brothers' ol' ladies are protective as hell, but they can’t be here every time the baby cries.

Lucky for me, one of the girls next door won't stop offering to babysit. And when I finally take her up on it, it's her older sister who has my attention. I realize I know who she is. Seen her before. Only never in the light of day. She's dancing at night to pay their bills, and seeing her now, I can tell she's on the run from something. I should keep my distance, but I can't help myself. So when their past catches up to them, I'm not about to let them face it alone. I'm used to fighting for my club, and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to fight for all three of the girls who have become mine.

Available on All Platforms




He rescued her, and now he’s going to claim her as his.

Reyes
When I get the call from the Midnight Haven, that we have someone asking for help, I assume that it’s going to be like every other rescue.
Until I get there and see just who we’re saving.
Taylor.
She’s curvy and beautiful, but that’s not what has my mouth watering.
It’s the fact that she’s mine.
Now that I’ve found my fated mate, I have to do a few things.
First, get her to safety.
Second, tell her about shifters and fated mates.
And third, convince her that she’s meant to be mine.

Taylor
When I’m kidnapped, I’m not sure what’s going on or how I’ll get out of this mess.
Luckily for me, a hero comes to save me.
He takes me back to his place and makes sure that I’m okay.
My crush on him starts that night, and it only grows from there.
Reyes is so handsome and kind.
I’m sure that he’d never be interested in someone like me.
Then he drops a bomb on me.
He tells me that he’s a shifter, that we’re fated mates, and that I’m meant to be his.
This all seems to be too good to be true.
Now I’m left wondering whether he's telling the truth, and what that means for the future.

A lawman falls for a woman with a rare gift. A killer will stop at nothing to possess it.

Texas Ranger Vince Cooper trusts evidence, instincts, and the badge on his chest. Psychics? Not a chance. But when a brutal murder and a missing teenage girl lead him to Erica Stevens, Vince can't deny that the beautiful, boho artist knows things about the crime scene she shouldn’t.

Erica rarely talks about her gift. The visions strike without warning—someone else’s fear, memories that don’t belong to her, flashes of violence she can’t unsee. Helping a skeptical Ranger investigate a murder is the last thing she needs, even if the grounded, old‑school lawman watching her with equal parts suspicion and heat is impossible to ignore.

As they work the case together, preconceived notions give way to undeniable chemistry. Trust builds. Desire sizzles. Coop’s protective instincts flare to life. And everything between them changes. 

But the investigation points straight to a ruthless Russian crime boss who collects debts in blood. When he learns about Erica’s ability, she becomes far more valuable than the money he’s hunting.

Now Coop isn’t just trying to solve a murder. He’s racing to save the woman he loves. Because once the boss decides something belongs to him, he never lets it go.

About Maddie:


A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.


Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.
