Every child deserves to be loved.

Every child deserves parents who love them.

Yet, for as long as I can remember, I’ve harbored an insatiable craving for that one simple thing.

Love.

I was desperate for it. Through years of mistreatment and degradation, I longed for the affection I saw others receive. And I was willing to do anything to prove myself to the people I wanted it from—including going to war.

Yet it was never enough. Nothing ever was.

Except when it came to Laura, my high school sweetheart … and I pushed her away.

Over and over again.

Because how could I possibly deserve love from her—or anyone—if my own parents couldn’t find me worthy of theirs?

Maybe I’m just not worthy of anything.

Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne

A man with no limits is the most dangerous kind of threat.

When Trent Clarke caught me picking pockets at eleven, he didn’t turn me in. Instead, he took me under his wing and taught me that in this world, you take what you want and never look back.

He might have shaped me, but I built my empire of the most successful string of strip clubs on the West Coast.

Now that I have everything, it’s time to track down my deadbeat mother and remind her who she left behind. That is if the drugs didn’t kill her already.

But I don’t find the worn-down shell of the woman I remember. Instead, she has all the things she never managed to give me—the white picket fence, a family dog, even church on Sunday mornings.

The real kicker? She replaced me and raised the perfect daughter with all the care and love she never gave me.

A twisted need for revenge roars to life inside me, and I aim it at my mother’s precious stepdaughter—sweet, sheltered Hattie Sinclair.

At first, it’s purely about vengeance, pulling Hattie into the darkness to watch her innocence unravel piece by piece. But she becomes something more. Something dangerous. Something I can’t resist.

Until she becomes my obsession.

The Way We Win by Tia Louise

Coach Bradford has a dirty little secret… and it’s not (just) me.

Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s

football coach.

He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually

flexed.

He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt

your… everything.

I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in

his younger siblings’ weddings).

Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length.

I’d pretty much given up on landing this DILF, when an overbearing dad says my son is only QB-1

because I give the coach “special favors.” (I wish!)

Then my ex-con ex-husband starts threatening us, and the walls break.

Coach Jack shows up at my door, sleeps on my couch, and his fight disappears.

Being with him is beyond my wildest dreams. His secrets don’t scare me.

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted… and more.

Together, we’re a win, and at last I go from dirty little secret to dirty little wife.

(The Way We Win is a small-town, single dad, single mom, football romance with a HOT high

school football coach, a sexy librarian, Friday night lights, ALL the Bradford fun, SPICE, and a

touch of suspense. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

First comes love. Then comes marriage.

We all know how the rhyme ends.

Except I don’t want love. I sure as heck don’t want another marriage.

But a baby? That I’m desperate for.

And I know exactly who can help me with that.

Simon has always been there for me. He listens to me. Supports me. Makes me feel like maybe I’m not as broken as I think I am. He wants me to be happy. To move beyond the pain of my past.

That’s why I’m shocked and more than a little disappointed when he doesn’t immediately agree to my offer.

Until he explains his conditions. Then, I’m downright terrified.

There will be no single-motherhood for me if we do this. Simon wants not only in my bed, but also in my life.

I’m not sure that’s a deal I can make.

And when the past comes back to haunt me, I might not get the chance to decide.

**Tear Me to Pieces is a romantic suspense set in the Lost Boys world. It includes an overarching plot line that continues in Butch and Becca's book, Desired Perception (part of the Alaskan Security series I write as Jemma Westbrook. I promise it makes sense.)

Marcellus Falls—the same small town I swore I’d never return to.

As luck would have it, my big escape didn’t turn out as planned. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I found myself without a job and a place to live.

Until the man I walked away from years ago offered a solution.

Except he knew how to push my buttons, and we both had a hard time keeping our hands to ourselves.

Every touch started to feel real.

Each kiss had me falling for him all over again.

It suddenly felt less fake.

At least…for me.

So, how was I supposed to convince him to give me a second chance when he kept reminding me at every turn that this was all just an act?

I never imagined I’d agree to an arranged marriage for over 5 million dollars.

Not to mention that the man I’d be marrying is someone I’d already met once before.

Gage Kingston waltzes into the meeting with the lawyer unaffected—cocky, tattooed, and acting like he didn’t know who I was.

But after we agree we’d be stupid to walk away from that kind of money, we embark on a six month timeline to riches despite the animosity between us.

Now I’m living with the man his aunt thought would be perfect for me while wondering if the woman was going insane before she died to think this was a good idea.

Then the first letter came.

Turns out Diane had a plan to get us to fall for each other while trying to make our marriage work.

Arguments turn to meaningful conversations.

Innocent brushes turn to lust-filled challenges.

And before I know it, we’re crossing every line we drew in the sand.

Did Diane somehow know that we were meant for each other before we figure it out for ourselves?

Or was jumping into a marriage with a man I barely knew one of the worst mistakes of my life?

Good Directions by Claire Hastings

Read now: https://geni.us/GoodDirections

It was a stupid bet—that I could find a date, a real date, to my sister's wedding. Or I was at the mercy of my brothers’ whim.

No problem. I got this.

Except…I don’t.

Until I meet Sawyer Brown. The moment she pulls up to my roadside fruit stand looking for directions, I’m all in.

Then she tells me to go to hell.

Which is just peachy since she just so happens to be the expert the state sent to help my company this summer.

To say that we don’t exactly hit it off is an understatement. As it turns out, I happen to have something Sawyer desperately needs, and I’m not above using that to leverage her into being my girl—even if it is just for show.

But pretty soon fake dates turn into real ones, keeping secrets turns into baring it all, and our reasons for doing this slowly fade away.

Or so I thought…

The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him.

Nate Stiles is the definition of serious.
Furrowed brow? Check.
Rain cloud personality? Double check.

I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.

I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.

I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesn’t believe in love.

My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and I’m determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.

And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.

Blurb:
She thought they were divorced. He never filed the papers.
Now he’s determined to prove their love story isn’t over.

Josie: Before The Moment
There are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals in the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in countless nights spent watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his plastered on his face while I sat on a stool at the bar.

It should all feel familiar and comforting, and yet, it makes it hard for the person I am now to breathe at all.

I wish I’d been stronger. I wish I’d been wiser. I wish I didn’t have to do this.
I wish.

Tonight will be a defining moment for the rest of my life.

I have to end it now…
…before it ends me.

Clay: After The Moment
When Josie and I said, ‘I do’, I thought it’d be us against the world forever. But I wasn’t expecting the world to be so against us.

I know I should’ve stayed that night, and I should have gone back a heck of a lot sooner.

Because I don’t know how to be here. I don’t know how to be anywhere.

Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all.

She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.

When rivals Harper and Eve are forced to team up on a high-stakes treasure hunt, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and the biggest prize might just be their hearts.

Eve Bardot has spent years searching for the diamonds, and she’s not about to let a pesky, too-charming reporter ruin her shot. But when rival treasure hunters close in, Eve and Harper strike an uneasy truce to track down the prize together.

Their partnership? Purely strategic. The bickering? Nonstop. The chemistry? A complete disaster.

As clues pile up and tension turns explosive, Harper and Eve must decide what’s more dangerous: the hunt…or falling for each other.

Undeniably Unexpected by J. Saman

Hollywood Bad Boy Loomis Powell Dating Heiress Keegan Fritz Amid Secret Baby Scandal.

That headline plus a broken wrist, my ex showing up, and it leaking that Loomis has a son no one knew about, and suddenly we're in a fake relationship.

He needs help keeping his son and saving his career, and I need someone to stop me from going back to my ex after he broke my heart.

It seems like the perfect plan until we realize someone is following us a little too closely.

Now we're stuck in a tiny cottage on an island off the Florida Keys.

It's a recipe for disaster.

Between his charming smile, sexy British accent, and swoon-worthy moments with his son, he's everything I need to stay away from. Loomis doesn't do love or relationships, and I have a penchant for falling fast and hard for the wrong men.

But with every searing kiss and sheet-clutching encounter, I'm finding it harder and harder to remember that what we have is fake.

Especially when outside forces threaten to tear us apart.

Can we find a way to turn this undeniably unexpected situation into something real, or will our Hollywood romance end in disaster?

Love Among the Vines by Madison Score

Blurb:

Jade Gardner’s life is on the brink of disaster. She and her golden retriever are on the verge of losing their home thanks to a two-year stretch of artist’s block (hers, not the dog’s). To make matters worse, she accidentally agreed to be a bridesmaid…in her ex-boyfriend’s wedding.

An ill-timed bachelorette trip to the Finger Lakes is exactly what she doesn’t need.

Everett Rhodes has put his own dreams on hold to take over the family winery. Competition is increasing and margins are getting smaller, but nothing will stop him from steering the business back on course. Especially not an impulsive, gorgeous hot mess with a backpack full of cheese and enough emotional baggage to fill a cargo hold.

Jade desperately needs a date to the wedding—also maybe a financial bootcamp. But she’ll settle for a fake romance with the grumpy winemaker who needs to get his parents off his back about his lack of a love life.

It’s only two weeks. Sure, they’re complete opposites. But they can absolutely fake it for two weeks, especially since they don’t seem to have to pretend about the whole physical attraction thing. What could possibly go horribly, horribly wrong?

The Complication with the Best Man 

by Piper Rayne

One wild night turns into two pink lines. Sleeping with the best man at my cousin’s wedding felt right at the time—he was a hot, available firefighter, and I was the tipsy maid of honor. It’s a rite of passage. No regrets… until two pink lines flipped my world upside down. Now I’m wildly unprepared and trying to hide my pregnancy in my small Alaskan town where privacy is a myth and gossip spreads faster than frostbite. But wait, it gets worse. Baby Daddy just came back to town—with a fiancée in tow. And guess who she wants to plan their wedding? Me. Keeping the secret was hard enough. Keeping my distance from the father of my baby? Impossible. Just when I think I have it all figured out, he reveals his own secret that changes everything. Authors Note: There is no cheating in this book. Gasp! We would never.

A Royal Mile by Samantha Young

Going into my senior year of university at war with a member of the British royal family wasn’t in my carefully laid plans. Sebastian Thorne might be the grandson of a princess, but it’ll take more than a royal pardon to get me to forgive him for pretending to be someone he’s not.

But Sebastian is determined to be my friend. Even if it means signing up to a psych experiment just to get me to talk to him. Who knew a sincere apology and him saying my name in that posh English accent would make me weak in the knees?

This year was supposed to be about my dissertation and graduate school. Only, Sebastian has thrown my ordered world off kilter. He makes me bolder, more confident. A braver version of me.

Yet every lingering glance and stolen touch has me realizing one thing…

I’m falling for my best friend.

There’s just one problem. Sebastian has demons, ones that make him determined to keep me in the friend zone no matter the cost.

And even when temptation sends his walls tumbling down, the beauty we’ve found might not survive against the will of powerful outside forces…

She’s His One Weakness—And He’ll Burn the World to Save Her.

Niall Black
Loyal right-hand to Finn O’Reilly. Cousin and trusted friend.
He lives for the life he’s created. Filled with business, both day-to-day and dangerous. Not interested in a relationship of any kind outside of his comfort zone.
Until fate brings her to him. Annabelle Lewis.
She awakens something inside him. A need. A desire.
A new set of feelings he wasn’t prepared for.
When she is taken from him, how far will he go to get her back?
To the ends of the earth.
And anyone in his way will be removed.
Permanently.

The suspenseful finale in The Irishmen duet by New York Times Bestselling author Melanie Moreland.

Need You to Choose Me by B. Celeste 

When Olive Henderson was told to stay away from Alexander O’Conner by her protective older brother, she took it as a challenge. Because nobody tells the Coca-Cola loving, hockey-obsessed, confident plus size woman who to talk to; least of all Sebastian.

The only problem? The secret hookups between she and Lindon U’s best left wing on the hockey team turns into more—and those feelings lead to a heartbreaking goodbye that tears the two apart when Alex gets drafted into the NHL.

No matter how much time passes, she can’t get her older brother’s teammate out of her mind. And now that the two are both professional players on opposite teams, their on-air rivalry makes it impossible for her to forget him completely.

Which is perfect for the broody, mysterious left winger who regrets his choice to end things with the sassy, minty-eyed girl. And now that his life, and his mother’s, depends on the checks he receives by the league, he has to figure out if he can have it all.

The game. And the girl.

If she’ll have him back.

Teddy Hamilton & Brooke Bloomingdale narrate in duet!

Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.

Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.

Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.

I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.

Until one night, the tension snaps.

Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.

But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.

Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.

The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.

Tropes: single dad/nanny, runaway bride, forced proximity, spicy lessons, she's his daughter's skating coach, confession of all secrets, love notes, found family

I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.

All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.

Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.

Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.

Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.

What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.

Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with.

Blurb:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee lights the fuse, and the Stone siblings must rely on their wits and hearts to uncover a dangerous enemy…and an explosive secret.

Taking over her late father’s company was never part of Alex Stone’s life plan.

But now, sitting in the CEO chair at Stone Enterprises, she’s resigned to living her life alone. Being a high-powered, billionaire woman tends to narrow one’s romantic prospects. As Alex works relentlessly to reshape her inherited hotel empire, she’s acquired a target on her back complete with death threats.

Alex turns to Hawk Bronson, a man who is equal parts bodyguard, sexy, and completely infuriating. Especially when it comes to protecting her.

As the danger escalates, Hawk comes to terms with the fact that their connection goes way beyond bodyguard and assignment. He knows he should keep his distance—his own dark past and nightmares put her at greater risk—but he can’t walk away. Protecting Alex means everything. Putting her life in someone else’s care isn’t an option once he’s tasted their passion and depth of his feelings.

As they navigate a minefield of family secrets, past pain, and unexpected hope, Alex and Hawk must face their deepest fears and fight for a future together. But first, they’ll need to unmask whoever is behind the threats—before Alex becomes their next victim.

Resisting the Running Back by Lisa Suzanne

A steamy Pro Football, Best Friends to Lovers, Fake Relationship Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

When my ex exposes my secret romance pen name to my students and my world unravels, I turn desperately to the one person who’s always had my back: my childhood best friend Miller Banks. The pro football running back drops everything, leaving in the middle of his wild Vegas birthday party to be by my side.

With my life in shambles back home, Miller invites me to stay with him in San Diego, offering both a sanctuary and a chance to pursue my writing career since my teaching days are over. It’s the perfect setup with the ultimate book boyfriend, though we’ve never crossed that line and never will.

But then I make the mistake of telling my mother that Miller and I are in a relationship, and we tell my ex that we’re engaged. Thankfully Miller plays along, grabbing me into the kind of steamy, soul-shattering kiss I can’t stop thinking about.

As I watch my new roommate work out and cook dinner, it’s becoming harder to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Especially when our “engagement” hits the media and we’re forced to be a happy couple in public, further blurring the line between real and fake.

We can’t cross that line. I have to continue resisting the running back. If I don’t, we could both lose the very thing that matters most to us.

The Drummer by Aly Stiles

READ NOW: https://mybook.to/TheDrummerNSB

Everyone knows about the chair.

The troubled rockstar. The lonely poet. The moment of inexplicable kindness that rewrote destinies.

Even ten years later, Luke and Callie’s story is legendary—a testament to love, loss, and the power of one small act.

I’m not saying it doesn’t deserve the hype.
But when a chair is more famous than you, maybe it’s time to set the record straight.

Because I was there too.
The best friend. The brother. The lover.

What I wasn’t? The star of the story.

Until now.

Hi, I’m Casey Barrett, and this is what really happened the day three damaged souls collided over an ugly diner chair.

THE DRUMMER is a full-length companion novel from Casey Barrett’s POV in Night Shifts Black. While it can be read as a standalone, reading Night Shifts Black first is highly recommended to fully appreciate its depth. Please note, these books explore mental health with compassion and realism.

A sexy summer fling. A tangled past. A second chance at love.

Ross has a plan: pack up her grandmother’s farmhouse, avoid old wounds, enjoy a little no-strings bedsport, and move on in Manhattan. She doesn’t expect to rekindle the scorching chemistry with a hot, opera-singing single dad—or confront the shocking family secrets buried long ago.

Single dad Xander Grace has sworn off serious relationships—until Ross Beaufort, the unforgettable one-night stand who’s haunted him for months, shows up at her grandmother’s farmhouse…next to the property he’s renting. She’s only there for six weeks. A perfect summer fling.

Catch by Katie Rae

Blurb:

Catching her was my job... Keeping her was my mission.

The day I cuffed Loxley Adams and put her in my patrol car was the day I realized that the 9 pound bass I caught last summer with Gramps was no longer my greatest catch.

It was her.

Loxley wasn’t your average small-town speeder tearing through Harmony Haven, though. She was the Southern Songstress herself—a world-famous superstar trying to avoid her seemingly glamorous life. She wanted to hide, but instead of letting her run, I took her to my place. And the rules were simple:

• No one can know about my new roommate.

• Don’t fall for her.

Too bad rule #2 didn’t last long. She may have driven me crazy, but it’s hard not to catch feelings for someone who’s wearing my t-shirts, dancing around barefoot through the house, and looking at me like I invented the guitar.

Harmony Haven may be “Where Life’s a Love Song,” but it’s not where stars like Loxley belong, and I knew the day would come when she’d be ready to run again.

The question was, would I be able to let her go?

Will be Available on Kindle Unlimited on June 14

Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.

 

I never promised forever.

A good time? Absolutely.

Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.

 

My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.

 

Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.

 

She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.

 

One night. One line crossed.

Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.

 

For the first time, I want it all.

And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.

Summer People by Brittanee Nicole & Jenni Bara

𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙝𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣, 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚: 𝙖 𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙.

Population: sixty eight.

Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monhegan’s newest resident and retired child star.

When I first step off the boat, I’m ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media won’t bother to look for me here.

What I get instead is exasperation.

“Summer people.” It’s grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence.

He’s stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts.

Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, I’m not going anywhere. In fact we’re neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me.

Summer in Monhegan isn’t at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I haven’t quite figured out why he’s so miserable, but I’m also not volunteering what I’m running from.

All I know is the Islanders aren’t the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it won’t matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe I’m destined to be nothing more than 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.

My little girl has a life-threatening heart condition, and I'd like to think I'd do anything to save her.

Anything at all.

But it's not until the most lucrative, shameful opportunity falls into my lap that I learn just how far I'll go to protect her.

The opportunity? A "full-service" executive assistant role through the discreet agency Seraph, putting my body and my soul at the mercy of a ruthless billionaire who has a reputation for eating women like me for breakfast:

Brendan Sullivan.

He's disarmingly handsome, disgustingly wealthy, and disturbingly depraved. The things he has me do are beyond sinful, and I'm way out of my depth.

He can never know that I'm just a desperate, duplicitous single mother and not the professional sexpot he thinks he's hired.

He can never know just how terrified I am every time he and his debauched friends lay their hands on me.

And he can definitely never know that, the more he corrupts me, the more he affects me.

I'm falling hard. Against all odds, this role seems less like a means to an end and more like a glimpse of the Happy Ever After I know he and I can never have.

🔥Forbidden Romance

🔥Older Brother's Former Best Friend

🔥Childhood Friends

🔥Small Town

I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.

I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families. 

Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.

We shared more than a moment.

Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.

No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.

Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.

I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.

Little Nightmare by Rachel Van Dyken

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Not all monsters hide under the bed. Some guard your heart while plotting your ruin.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a gripping standalone mafia romance set in the electrifying world of the Eagle Elite series.

Welcome to your final dream.

Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.

I promise. Just close your eyes.

Sleep.

Grief has five stages, they say. But in the mafia, there's only one: survival.

The day I buried my boyfriend, the Families replaced him with the man who rejected me four years ago—Ace "Matchstick" De Lange. Cold. Calculated. Deadly. He has the bedside manner of a serial killer and the looks of a fallen angel. And now, he's my shadow, ensuring I don't end up in the grave beside the man who died for me.

I despise that I'm the one left behind. I loathe how Ace provokes me, pulling me from the abyss of my sorrow. But most of all, I hate that the only piece I have left of my dead boyfriend is something others would kill to possess.

When Ace uncovers my secret, there's only one solution: marriage to the devil himself to protect the legacy of the one who had no choice.

I vow never to love him. He promises he'll never love me.

He's a means to an end—the only one who can stand against my father and live to tell the tale.

He claims his life is mine, but I don't want it.

I tell him I'll never be his.

Ace's response? A chilling, "We'll see."

But what happens when everything you believed was a lie? When the only one who can free you from your nightmare threatens to drag you deeper into the darkness?

Some families are tested and break under the weight of the mafia. The De Langes broke... then gathered the pieces and rose.
