Manhunt by Vanessa Vale

 

 

Manhunt by Vanessa Vale is now live!

 

What's worse than spilling coffee all over my billionaire boss? Accidentally emailing him my answers to a sex quiz.
That was me. I did that. I might be a genius, but that was really dumb.
I sneak into the office to delete it, but it's too late. He knows my naughtiest fantasies.
Instead of firing me, he wants to fulfill every one of them.
He's everything I didn't know I wanted: Older, fiercely protective and a possessive streak the size of Montana.
But can he really want someone like me with a past full of man struggles and a head full of math problems?

Find out the answer in this steamy small town romance where a nerdy heroine is outsmarted by a lumberjack-sized billionaire in a test of love. With all the books in the On A Manhunt series, it's always open season on men.

RELEASE BLITZ: You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows by Piper Rayne

 

USA Today Bestselling Author, Piper Rayne, begins the Kingsmen Football Stars series with an enemies-to-lovers, second chance story set in the world of professional football.

You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows by Piper Rayne is now live!

Lee f’ing Burrows

The Kingsmen’s star quarterback.

Legendary throwing arm.

Six-pack abs.

Kissable lips.

Oh, but don’t forget, he’s also a lying, heartless egomaniac who broke my heart in college.

It took me years to build myself back up after his deceit, and now I have the dream opportunity to prove myself working as a sports therapist for a professional team.

The hurdle? Or mountain to be more accurate…

The job is with the San Francisco Kingsmen.

Back when I was a naïve college girl, I felt lucky that he even noticed me. Now eight years later, he’d be lucky if I gave him the time of day.

Which I won’t. Not ever.

Some people don’t deserve a second chance and Lee Burrows is one of them.

Now if someone could only tell him that because he’s hell-bent on scoring the winning touchdown and won’t accept that it’s game over for us.

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe

 

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe is now live!

A rebellious heiress.
A duke in dire straits.
An anonymous midnight tryst.

To escape the shackles of marriage, Nellie Young purposely ruined her reputation a long time ago. Now she dedicates herself to hedonistic pleasures only, like kissing a handsome stranger in the ocean under the moonlight...

To save his estate, the proper Duke of Lockwood must marry the perfect bride--wealthy, with an unblemished reputation. While in New York he's the perfect gentleman, and no one knows he's suppressing his darkest desires. The last thing he needs is another scandal.

Except Nellie sees through Lockwood's charade, straight to the real man underneath. This uptight duke is far more than he lets on, and she can't resist him. Their secret affair turns scorching, far more than either expected. And when his beautiful rebel finds an unconventional cause, Lockwood has to decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything to keep her.

Fernhill Lane by Kristen Proby

  






Fernhill Lane by Kristen Proby is now live! 


From Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a small town, second chance romance! Fernhill Lane is the newest installment in the Huckleberry Bay series!



She didn't think she'd ever come home again.

When Sarah Bitterman left Huckleberry Bay at the tender age of nineteen, newly married to a much older man, she had every intention of coming home to visit. Sadly, she quickly learned that was out of the question.

Until her husband throws her out with only the clothes on her back and finally sets Sarah free.

Coming back to the small seaside town has been the hardest thing she's ever done. Facing those who loved her the most and think she turned her back on them is almost unbearable. But she needs her two best friends, and she's longed to make amends with her little brother.

Huckleberry Bay is like the art in her soul. And now she can put down roots and begin to heal.

Tanner Hilleman knew it was a mistake to let the love of his life go all those years ago, and he's never stopped thinking about her. Now that she's home, while he's giving her the space she needs, he's also determined to make Sarah see that they belong together.

Unfortunately, Sarah's past has followed her to Huckleberry Bay and threatens to destroy everything she loves. Will she and Tanner survive it? Or will it tear them apart for good?

Secret Keeper by Stacey Lynn

 

Secret Keeper by Stacey Lynn is now live!

What started as a typical night out with my team, became the best night of my life.

Picking up a smoking hot blonde, I take her back to the hotel, expecting the evening to go down like any other.

But nothing about her is average… she’s sassy, witty and throws me off my game. After one incredible night, I wake up wanting to see her more than I want to go to hockey practice. Then another first happens, she kicks me out – wearing only a sheet and a frown.

The next time I see her, three months later, I knock her on her ass. Literally. Even dripping in tears, she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.

Then I find the source of her tears. Her father. My hockey coach.

Turns out, I’ve gone and fallen for my coach’s daughter. Our attraction is undeniable. It’s also unavoidable since she’s now traveling with our team. I have more to lose than a spot on my hockey team if he catches us… like my heart.

Good thing I’m a pro at keeping secrets.

RELEASE BLITZ: The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry

 

 

The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

 

All she wanted for Christmas was a boyfriend for the holidays...
All he wanted was for her to take her crappy first dates elsewhere...

Quirky Holly Jackson was unlucky in love, yet her romantic heart refused to give up her search for companionship—even after her fiancé left her at the altar on Christmas Eve.

Grumpy restaurant owner Kai Kane wanted nothing to do with love after his last relationship. Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.

When Kai volunteered to help Holly find a suitor it was for one reason only: to get her out of his restaurant and on to a second date with someone at a different location.

Once Kai became Holly's dating coach, her confidence grew.

It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai's pick for her, the more overprotective he became.

Kai quickly realized that all wasn't fair when it came to love and the holidays.

He was going to have to step up his game if he wanted a shot at the ultimate prize—being Holly's favorite date.

*The Holly Dates is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy that will put you right in the holiday spirit.*

How to Survive a Holiday Fling by Isabel Jolie

 



How to Survive a Holiday Fling by Isabel Jolie is live!



Ten Reasons to Have a Holiday Fling...

That's either the title of a holiday listicle I'll be submitting in the hopes of strumming up extra cash...or it's the mental game I'm playing during après ski.

Take a guess. (Hint: You can't get it wrong.)

My first impression of the snowboarder balking at the top of the ski run wasn't the greatest. But a couple of drinks in, with his ruffled hair, whiskey eyes and southern twang, Oliver transforms from just another vacationer to sizzling dreamy Texan.

This is the year I'm supposed to turn my life around. This is the year I'm supposed to live my life for me. What better way to kickstart my new life than with a holiday fling?

Plus, it's my first Christmas without my family. And Oliver's alone at Christmas too. No one should be alone at Christmas, right? 

That's my logic. 

Those hot jingly nights keep us warm and toasty through my most unforgettable holiday ever.

And then it's goodbye. 

A sane, healthy, mature parting of ways and the kick off to the Year of Me.

But when an impulsive text rekindles the holiday spirit, it's clear the fireworks didn't end at New Year's...

Christmas magic abounds in this love story that begins as a carefree holiday fling and transforms in the New Year, through all the seasons, and winds up right up back on Christmas Tree Lane.

How to Survive a Holiday Fling is a steamy, standalone holiday romance novel written in dual first person POV. Recommended for readers 18+.

Sneaking Around with the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now live! 


It was supposed to be a quick conversation with a cute boy at the airport while I dodged my ex and his new girlfriend.
We weren't supposed to trade numbers.
He wasn't supposed to be a football player.
And I definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him since he's attending a college a thousand miles away.
I saw past his jersey. And he saw past my last name.
Now it's semester break, and by some Christmas miracle, he's going to be close. So close.
I want to meet him again, but there's just one problem.
My older brother can't, under any circumstances, find out I'm dating his rival.
