Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥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.

IT'S RELEASE WEEK..

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.

Playing It Straight (Book #4) by Nicole Crystal


"A heartbreaker that fires up the senses and burns through emotions. Playing It Straight feels like it has something to prove. From a battle of hearts to a meeting of minds, Zane and Alexis are a spirited duo that refuses to back down from a challenge." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



Release Date: September 1, 2026

Sometimes the most dangerous play is the one you don't see coming.

Zane Morgan has FOUR MONTHS to prove he's worth keeping.
Traded from LA to New York mid-season, my contract expires in June. And the woman holding the pen has already decided I'm a flight risk with a tabloid problem. Alexis Westgate. Owner's daughter. Ice-cold negotiator. Looks at me like I'm a line item she's trying to justify.
She's also my next-door neighbor.
Six feet of hallway. One signed contract standing between me and free agency. And the most infuriating, intelligent, devastating woman I've ever met telling me she doesn't do relationships, doesn't do hockey players, and definitely doesn't do me.
Yet.
Because here's the thing nobody warned her about: I've spent my entire career being the guy who never stays. Turns out, I just hadn't met the right reason to.
She can keep telling me this can't happen.
I'll keep waiting.
Because for the first time in my life, the win I'm playing for isn't on the ice.

Playing it Straight is a steamy, slow-burn sports romance featuring forbidden workplace attraction, forced proximity, an ice-queen owner's daughter, and a reformed playboy finally ready to stay.

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





“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.

 At First Spark (Coral Bell Cove #1) by Renee Harless is #NowLive!


#OneClick

Universal: mybook.to/atfirstspark

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTTHZVQL


"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.

FILTHY TWISTED DEVIL

Lena Hunt

Release Date: September 8 





Blurb:

I watched her for six weeks before I knew who she was. I bid $1.3 million the moment I did.

The anonymous cam girl was my secret escape at the end of long days. I never planned to be anything more than a stranger in her audience—until she put one night up for auction, and I recognized the wildflower birthmark in the poster.

Eden Locke. My little sister's best friend. Off-limits in every way that matters.

Eden was furious. But I didn't bid to collect. I bid so no other man could.

And when her three overprotective brothers ambush us—ready to drag her home—it's my lie that saves her: we're dating. Monogamously. And she's quit the cam work.

With promises to keep things clean and respectful (in my defense, I did try), we're now fake dating with five simple rules.

Easy as cherry pie.

Until our practiced kisses stop feeling counterfeit. Until I'm inventing reasons to touch her, and she's whispering my name like it isn't pretend.

Eden feels it, too. That's why she's reminding me of our expiration date, building walls faster than I can climb them. She's forgetting I built an empire on one skill: making people crave what I'm selling. And I've never wanted to close a deal more in my life.

I'm done pretending—and this time, I'm bidding on forever.

Risque romance and a tempestuous sense of humor collide to create heartbreaker gold. Hunt sets the standard for irresistible. Luke and Eden take the senses by storm with an emotional dance of love. The twists and turns of their dance is unforgettable.

Talking Heat by JL Stray releases on September 24th!

https://geni.us/TalkingHeat

Read With Kindle Unlimited




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.

Catering To His Demands by #AuthorRoseCCarole releases on September 18th!

https://geni.us/KitchenConfession





Read With Kindle Unlimited

Sam has lost faith in relationships and love. Will Mike be able to crack open her hard shell and teach her to feel again?


As a part owner of Catered Affairs, Sam is a leader in the kitchen, advising the chefs about food, friends and lovers. But as her friends find Doms—and love—Sam stays steadfastly opposed to anything but one-night play scenes, never allowing a Dom to get to know who she really is deep inside.

Mike, a private investigator, is intrigued by the beautiful yet haughty sub, but he’s not interested in a superficial relationship. He becomes fully invested in anyone he plays with, giving them his rapt attention—and expecting it in return. His years in the Special Forces—and a near-death experience—has taught him to treasure every moment in life.

One night, Mike entices Sam into a scene. Through a combination of absolute control and perfectly delivered pain, he takes the staunch masochist to places she has never achieved before, making her unable to resist playing with him again. Every time they meet, Mike pushes her further, laying bare her innermost desires. But Mike finds that Sam’s reluctance to commit keeps pushing back.

As Mike starts to discover why Sam is hesitant to trust anyone, he becomes more determined to shatter her defenses and show her what real surrender to the right Dom can provide her. But a dangerous job for an old Special Forces buddy threatens to put a damper on his efforts. Can their budding relationship survive his need to protect the daughter of a friend?

Blurb:

I train horses, not broken men. That’s what I tell myself the day Bryce Raintree walks into my arena—cocky, bruised, and dragging his ego behind him like it’s been trampled in the dust. He’s a bull rider who’s lost his edge. His team sends him to me to get it back.

He doesn’t like being told what to do, especially not by a woman like me. But under all that attitude, there’s a storm brewing. And I can’t seem to walk away.

I’ve spent my life in the saddle, doing what needs to be done after losing our mom and stepping up on the ranch. I don’t fix cowboys. But maybe… I don’t have to. Maybe he’s not the only one who needs saving.

I was born to lead my people. As a succubus, sex, power, and revelry are what I trade in… until all that is all taken away from me.

Our home, our sanctuary, is invaded and desecrated by men we trusted, and our people are chained and claimed, including me.

I play their game, swallowing the cost, until they try to kill me. Now, all bets are off, but if I want to reclaim what is rightfully mine and free my people, then I will need help.

I never expected assistance to come in the form of rejected monsters, ones people have turned their backs on for millennia, but I know all about suffering and evil, and I won’t let them deny me the use of their powers. I will claim these monsters as my own and use them to save the people I love, no matter the cost.

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.
