Rumour Has It by Naaz Spencer is now live!

Aiden
I fell in love with my best friend and then broke her heart when we were nineteen.
Tiffany Harrington refuses to have anything to do with me outside of work.
She's spent years cleaning up my playboy image, but all I want is her.
Tiffy refuses to give me another chance, no matter how much I beg. And I'm not above begging.
But life just threw us a devastating curveball and I'll be by her side even if she pushes me away.
I'd do anything for that woman because she is my world.
Even if she doesn't realise it yet.

Tiffany
Aiden Sinclair is a liability, but when he gets too close, I lose all sense.
He's been my weakness ever since we were kids. But we are the past and I'm only concerned about my future.
I won't let him shatter my heart a second time.
Or that was the plan.
When Mum is diagnosed with cancer, Aiden's the person I run to.
The only one who can help me is him.
Behind the playboy is still the man I love, and I don't know how much longer I can refuse to acknowledge it.
Because time is a precious thing.

Rumour Has It is book 2 in the Seven Deadly Sinclairs series and can be read as a standalone.

This book contains topics that some may find triggering. These include scenes and discussion of cancer and cancer treatment, time in hospital, death, loss of a parent, grief, mature language and sexually explicit scenes.

Returning by Christina Sol is now live!

For two Type A workaholics, navigating a three-month fake relationship should be no problem. But as they blur the line between pretend and real, deadly violence erupts around them. Someone is out to destroy them...

As co-owner of The Spotted Dog, Jake Alvarez is an admitted workaholic. Along with his duties at the Seattle Irish pub, he runs Alvarez Technologies, a wildly successful mobile gaming company.

The Score by Kristen Proby

An all-new meet-cute sports romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby, featuring Sophie Montgomery!

The Score by Kristen Proby is now live!

I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. It's because I'm good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off.
I'm not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walk—or rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran into him.

Of course, at the time, I didn't realize it was the Isaiah "Ike" Harrison, Seattle's hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe.

But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places.
And he's doing everything in his power to convince me that he's not just a player—in any form of the word.
It's so much more than that.
But I've been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again.
Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly lowering—especially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career.

Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing I've ever done?

RELEASE BLITZ: Save Me by Samantha Chase

Save Me by Samantha Chase is now live!

Pretending to date the town's bad boy seemed like a good idea.
But who knew that being bad could feel so good...

A small town, fake dating, opposites attract standalone romance from NY Times Bestselling Author Samantha Chase

Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother's matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn't need to be for long, she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother's last disastrous fix-up. It's really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head.
Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he's more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he's 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him.
Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they've always been there and he'll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself.

Callahan
I'm the Kane brother everyone gossips about behind closed doors.
Trust fund brat. Washed-up athlete. High-functioning alcoholic.

I kept my word until my grandfather's will changed everything.
To receive my inheritance, I was tasked with spending a summer at the family lake house before selling it.
The request was simple in theory until my entire plan blew up on the very first day.
Turns out Lana doesn't just live at the house, but she claims to own it, too.

Alana
Falling in love with Callahan Kane was a mistake.
He told me so before destroying my heart and our friendship six summers ago.

The biggest flaw in his plan?
My name is on the deed.

Eye candy by Jessica Lemmon

Eye Candy by Jessica Lemmon is now live!

Don't trust lust at first sight. A "bubbly and sizzling rom-com" with a light love triangle and an absolutely swoon-worthy hero.

Every morning, a gorgeous mystery man jogs by Jacqueline Butler's office window, tempting her to break her "no dating" rule. She's good with ogling him from afar, but her best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson suggests she do more than stare--he wants her to ask the runner out.

Vince knows his best friend Jackie better than she knows herself, and the last thing she needs is a date with a pompous, swole jackass. But after being friend-zoned big-time, Vince can't exactly ask her out himself. Encouraging her to pursue a guy who is all muscle and no substance will not only get Jackie off the bench, but will also open her eyes to the fact that Vince is the right man for her.

Vince takes Jackie on practice dates, promising to help her hone her skills, but can't resist edging the fake romance into reality. After a ridiculously epic kiss, Jackie sees a sexier side of Vince, and suddenly anything is possible...

Sinful Vows Lilian Harris

Sinful Vows by Lilian Harris is now live!

I never wanted a wife. No one is safe with me. No one is good enough for my daughter.

But if I want to rule over the wealthiest crime family in New York City, I only have two weeks to find one.

When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want.

No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me-or return to the hell she came from.

I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.

But the more I see them together, my daughter and my wife, the more she touches me like I'm worthy, the more I start to wonder, could she be mine?

But when war lands at our feet, when her life's in jeopardy, I realize I was right all along.

No one is safe with a man like me. Least of all her.

Meet Lilian Harris

For Lilian, a love of writing began with a love of books. From Goosebumps to romance novels with sexy men on the cover, she loved them all. It's no surprise that at the age of eight she started writing poetry and lyrics, and hasn't stopped writing since.

She was born in Azerbaijan, and currently resides on Long Island, N.Y. with her husband, three kids, and a dog named Gatorade. Even though she has a law degree, she isn't practicing. When she isn't writing or reading, Lilian is baking or cooking up a storm. And once the kids are in bed, there's usually a glass of red in her hand. Can't just survive on coffee alone!

Promise Me Always by A.L. Jackson

Promise Me Always by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should know better than to let Tessa McDaniels pretend to be my fiancée.

I'm a dark, dangerous disaster who leaves destruction in his wake.

But when she offers to pretend to marry me to help me get my kids back, I can't refuse. They are the one thing I have left to fight for.

Milo Hendricks found me at my lowest.

Battered and broken by my ex with no place to call home. When he insists I stay at his cabin with him, he sparks the feelings I've tried to suppress.

He's only supposed to be my friend, but every time he comes in the room, he makes my knees weak.

This gorgeous, tatted, mountain-of-a-man who's riddled with secrets.

Tessa is everything I crave but can't have.

I shouldn't touch her.

Shouldn't make it real.

But she's a red-headed flame I can't resist, and I can't help but take her to my bed.

Now we're falling into an abyss of passion and need.

Loving her is easy.

Only we're tied in ways we don't know.

I'll do anything to protect her, but it's my past that might destroy her in the end…
