Narrators: Jason Clarke and Mackenzie Cartwright in DUET narration
Full Blurb:
From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Pippa Grant comes a witty road trip romcom about a billionaire on the run and the last woman on earth he wants in his passenger seat…
That didn’t turn out the way I planned it.
All I wanted was five minutes with Oliver Cumberland to explain to him that proposing to my sister—again—is a bad idea.
Instead, I’m now trapped in his car, on a cross-country road trip I didn’t anticipate, attempting to talk the grumpy billionaire out of something much, much worse than an arranged marriage for business purposes.
I don’t care if Mr. Square Jaw McMoneyPants wants to give away his entire fortune and disappear to live out his life working the popcorn counter at a movie theater or whatever in Podunk, USA.
But I do care that dozens of non-profits will lose their funding without Oliver in charge of his family’s empire. After all, I work for one.
I have to convince him to go home.
But by the end of the first week of our (mis)adventure, one thing is becoming obvious:
Oliver refusing to return home is the least of my problems.
The fact that I’m starting to fall in love with my sister’s ex is the real issue.
The Grumpiest Billionaire is a runaway billionaire road trip romance featuring a man who’s tired of taking responsibility for everyone around him, a woman who’s made a lot of mistakes while on a lifelong mission to save the world, and a slew of unintended consequences that prove no good deed goes unpunished.

About Bucking Time (Out to Pasture #1)

Blurb:
No woman wants a pity proposal.
Just because I’m turning forty, dealing with perimenopause, and recently dumped another loser doesn’t mean I need rescuing—especially not by my best friend.
But when Dallas Gamble blurts out that we’re engaged in a very public attempt at protecting me, there’s not much I can do but play along. Bless his dumb, beautiful heart.
The man has always been impulsive. Protective. Flirty. And able to fill out a pair of Levi’s like nobody’s business. In no time at all, he slides a ring on my finger, moves me into his house, and swears it’s no big deal.
But then things get complicated.
Because suddenly, he’s trying—as in, really trying. And even though every clumsy romantic gesture ends in disaster, it’s getting harder to pretend this isn’t real.
Dallas Gamble was never supposed to be my happily ever after. If we do this, I risk losing my best friend.
And if we don’t… I might lose the great love story I’ve been chasing my whole life.
But I’m starting to think it’s about bucking time we go for it.
About Bucking Time is a later-in-life cowboy romantic comedy between the town flirt and his veterinarian best friend. It comes complete with a weed-smoking Meemaw, a drunken marriage pact, a herd of nosy siblings, a runaway heifer, and no third-act breakup because our heroine refuses to play that game. Grand gestures—yes, plural—and one long-overdue happily ever after are guaranteed. No vintage romance novels were harmed in the making of this romcom, but they definitely inspired it.

Pine For Me (Haircuts and Heartthrobs #3) by Swati M.H.
Read in Kindle Unlimited:
Blurb:
He’s my Hollywood heartthrob ex-husband.
My hot new neighbor.
And, thanks to one reckless night, my soon-to-be baby daddy.
Patton Pierce has a knack for showing up when I least expect him—my street, my salon, my martial arts studio. Even my dreams.
Sure, I’ve pined for him over the past seven years, but if he thinks his low-slung gray sweatpants, backward cap, and infuriating grin will make me forget our past, then he’s in for a rude awakening.
But then my sister’s bachelorette party happens, and I have one too many drinks. One ridiculous dare later, and I find myself “kissing the boy I used to love”.
One kiss leads to one incredible night.
And one night leads to two very pink lines.
Patton says he wants me back, that nothing would make him happier than to have this baby with me. But I’ve heard those words before.
He chose Hollywood over me before, and he’ll choose it over me again.
Still, with him taking care of my every craving—both in and out of the bedroom—it’s getting harder not to fall for him.
The question is: will he be there to catch me this time?

Could you really call someone the “one who got away” if she was never yours to begin with?
In high school, Sabrina and I were “extra friends,” a nicer way of saying friends who’d hook up with each other in between relationships with no strings attached.
Too bad I ruined our arrangement by catching real feelings—feelings that terrified me enough to cut off a good friend because I was too scared I’d slip and admit I loved her.
Years later we’re reunited at our twentieth high school reunion, both fresh from brutal divorces. Determined to keep the reignited connection, we fall into an easy friendship, this time without the “extra.” Surely, at almost forty I can keep my feelings to myself. Right?
Spoiler alert: I can’t.
Especially when I volunteer to be her date at her niece’s wedding to keep her family off her back and up the ante by offering to be her fake boyfriend too.
Touching comes too easy, along with heated kisses that were supposed to only be for show. Playing pretend turns into the best night of my life, and the worst one at the same time.
Because, just like in the past, I don’t know how to be just her friend when I’ve always been secretly hers.
Secretly Yours is a 27,000 word standalone novella. It's a companion to the novel Second Times the Charm but can be enjoyed on its own.

My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time … right?
Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom.
What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford Devon? He’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.
Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance …
To his cool blue eyes that track my every move.
To that deep voice that makes me shiver.
And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.
Oops.
We agree it’s a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex’s party … we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!
One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.
But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?
It was straight out of a rom-com—until two pink lines changed everything.
Zander Shaw is country music’s hottest star. So, when he singled me out of a packed arena and had me pulled backstage, I should’ve known I wasn’t his forever. One signed NDA later, I was sneaking onto his tour bus, wrapped up in his world, and him. But it ended before it really started when he ghosted me.
Then he shows up on my family’s ranch to film his new music video, a surprise to us both. Now I’m his appointed tour guide around the ranch, stuck sharing all my favorite places with the man who carelessly discarded me.
The more time we spend together, the harder it is to guard my heart because his flirty half-smile makes me forget my anger. But Zander’s made it clear, he’s not looking to ride out into the sunset with anyone.

Duke (Lucky Rivers Ranch) by Jessica Peterson
One chance meeting on a Texas ranch.
One wild, too-charming cowboy.
One snowed-in night that changes everything.
Wheeler Rankin isn’t here for romance—she’s come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal, and prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers—resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy, and brother to her best friend’s new flame—sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.
Duke has always dreamed of more than dusty trails and small-town life. He’s itching to see the world, but one unforgettable night with Wheeler changes his course. When a blizzard and a business road trip leave them stranded together, their no-strings flirtation ignites into something deeper.

Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love, face their fears, and find home in each other’s arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?
