Luke Haven has an adrenaline problem. As in, he can’t get enough.
His squeaky-clean, nice-guy reputation in his small town isn’t a lie. But it’s not the whole truth, either. Although his real problem? He’s not even sure what he’s searching for.
Melanie Andolini never thought she’d be starting over in her thirties. But moving back to her hometown is exactly the fresh start she needs.
Until she runs into Luke Haven, and things get complicated. Really complicated. Although it feels like a lifetime since they dated in high school, sparks fly as soon as they’re face to face—hot enough to light up the whole town.
Melanie blazes into Luke’s life like wildfire—messy and chaotic, beautiful and tempting. But they played with fire once and both got burned. They’re not going down that road again.
Except Melanie brought home a secret that still haunts her dreams. And when her nightmares turn all too real, Luke will risk everything to save her.
And make her his—this time, forever.
Author’s note: a not-your-usual second chance romance with a fiery heroine and a hero who won’t quench her flames—he’ll bask in her heat. Family shenanigans, witty banter, page-turning suspense, and a wild happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Blurb:
“I’m here to see my fiancé. I believe you know Parker, Dad…”
That sentence seems innocent enough in the right setting.
But the woman’s father? Yeah, he happens to be my boss.
The first time I met Cashlynn O’Neil, she thought she was going to die before the plane we were on ever left the ground.
So I did what any gentleman would do—I comforted her, kept her distracted, and then later that night, she ended up back in my hotel room to thank me.
But then a year later she waltzed in the Carrington Cove Animal Hospital and told her father we were engaged.
And that would have been harmless, except the last time I was engaged it left me scarred beyond repair, vowing never to entertain the idea of love again.
I can’t fall for my boss’s daughter.
I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel either.
But is it possible that someday you learn that it’s not the wrong person that will make you question what you want in life, but it’s the right one?
And is Cashlynn the right woman for me?

My Favorite Bad Decision by Elizabeth O'Roark
Climbing Kilimanjaro? No thank you.
Climbing it with Miller West? Absolutely f***ing not.
A full week without showers, a real bed or Internet was bad enough. Spending it with my family’s sworn enemy—the unbearably smug, indecently handsome Miller West—is a bridge too far.
I’m determined to remain enemies, even if sparring with him is my favorite thing in the world. Even if he’s hell-bent on protecting me, whether I need it or not, and surprisingly kind, no matter how awful I am to him.
But eight days is a long time to hate someone you’re sleeping next to.
Especially when you suspect you never hated him at all.
And what happens on Kilimanjaro stays on Kilimanjaro...right?

I’d considered myself carefree and content until I met my best friend’s older brother.
Brody Benson has a way of wrecking my composure with a single glare.
He’s broody and crass and far too attractive.
As if that isn’t enough, he earns more money in a month than I’ll likely make in my lifetime.
We couldn’t be more different. That’s why I settle for catching quick glances of him in passing. Meanwhile, he prefers to pretend I don’t exist.
But then the unthinkable happens.
Brody
The death of my mother rocks the foundation that our rustic empire is built on.
After the funeral, my sister flees to find comfort and peace. Dad shuts down, leaving me to keep the business running. That undertaking is made more challenging by Paisley Keaton.
Now I’m constantly crossing paths with the sunny cowgirl my sister left in charge of the barn. She tries to be helpful, which only agitates my animosity. I don’t miss an opportunity to tell her where to stick that overly positive attitude.
The fact that Paisley is the last woman I’d ever date promotes her to a permanent position at Benson Manor. One that needs to be filled to guarantee my ownership of the company.
Paisley will be my wife, but the only thing she’ll get from me is my last name.
From bestselling author Stephanie Rose comes a swoon-worthy sports romance filled with sizzling chemistry, a heart-stealing hero who falls first, and an age-gap love story worth rooting for. Rachel Manning has her hands full working a demanding job at a PR firm and raising her teenage sister. The only time she makes for romance is in the hours she carves out writing steamy novels. Until she collides with her very own meet cute… Silas Jones, a recently retired baseball legend turned manager, is gorgeous, divorced, and carrying around enough regret to last a lifetime. One magical night with Rachel gives her a chance to forget her responsibilities while awakening something in him that he hasn’t felt in a long time… if ever. When fate throws a curveball and brings them together again through work, he’s ready to play for keeps. But a strict no-fraternization clause in Rachel’s contract means being with Silas isn’t just risky—it’s forbidden. And she and her sister need every penny of that paycheck. Falling in love was never part of the plan. But for a once in a lifetime love, is it worth risking it all? Author’s Note: A Whole New Ball Game is a steamy standalone romance with a punch-in-the-stomach meet cute, steamy times with a baseball jersey, and a cinnamon roll hero who is even better with his hands than he is with a baseball. |
Dirty dancing leads to a chance at forever in this sizzling single parent, found family, small town romance by Jessica Peterson.
As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls’ weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.
But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I’ve seen my fair share of sexy cowboys. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer’s got a mustache, tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.
Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It’s the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? A girl could get used to that kind of adoration.
Good thing he’ll only be a one-night stand I can look back on with a smile. I’m rebuilding my life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an adorable daughter of his own. Now, Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever.
As much as I’m falling for Sawyer, I’m terrified. I’ve been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?
SAWYER is a standalone book in the interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.
A hate-to-love novel that will leave you craving the romance and the fight!

I fell for Madeline Mason the moment I laid eyes on her fifteen years ago.
But she was the definition of off-limits.
The mother of one of my subordinates in the Rangers. Strike one.
Married. Strike two. Lived in another state. Strike three.
None of that stopped us from desiring each other.
Tragically, it was never the right time for us.
Her life was in near-constant turmoil, and I was building my legacy at Redleg Security.
So I waited for her.
For years, I wished for a someday that I feared would never come.
After she divorced her abusive husband, I hoped our time had arrived.
Then tragedy struck.
I should have moved on.
But a woman like her comes along once in a lifetime.
One night, passion took over. And she was finally mine.
Or so I thought.
Despite our intense feelings, she insists we keep our love a secret.
She’s my everything.
But what am I to her?
Before I can break through her walls, my life turns upside down.
A fight with a dangerous enemy puts her in the crossfire. And a surprise from my past gives her an excuse to run away from her feelings.
As everything unravels, I’m left wondering if I've spent my life loving a woman who will never choose me.
Author's Note:
Bossy Hero is not a standalone novel. This is the culmination of the entire Redleg Security saga and is meant to be read as part of the series. While you "might" be able to follow along if you read this story on its own, it's highly discouraged and likely to be somewhat confusing, especially in regards to the suspense plot that's been brewing for several books and the influence of multiple side characters and how they impact the main couple in this story.
Release date included in this preorder is subject to change and expected to be moved up with an earlier release (fingers crossed).
Content warnings will be available on the author's website prior to publication.
Recommended Redleg Security Series Reading Order:
Book 1 - Heartbreak Hero
Book 2 - Forbidden Hero
Book 2.5 - The Escape (optional free short story)
Book 3 - Comeback Hero
Book 3.5 - A Bossy Secret (optional free short story - recommended since it's a prequel-ish for Bossy Hero)

All Bats are Off, a one night stand to lovers novella in the Rose City Roasters series, is coming May 2025.
Three young women make a pact in high school—
to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan
Built to Last
Harper Ross has always dreamed of working on one of the magnificent brownstones of Park Avenue. Now one of her closest friends has bought the house of her dreams and hired Harper to do the construction work. She wants to showcase the renovation on a television show for her brand-new production company. It’s the same grand home she and her friends promised themselves they would be able to afford one day. Working on it isn’t the same as living in it, but it’s all a part of Harper’s grand plan to grow her father’s construction business into one of the biggest in the city. The only obstacle—the designer on the project.
Reid Dorsey believes in the balance between beauty and functionality. As one of Manhattan’s new voices in design, he’s excited to get to work on a true Gilded Age property. If only the owner had selected a contractor he enjoyed working with. Oh, Harper was brilliant and her work was excellent, but she has an opinion on everything—and it’s usually the opposite of his.
Over the course of the job, these enemies start to see different sides of each other, and suddenly their fights don’t seem so bad. But when the project is threatened, they might have to choose between their jobs and the beautifully designed future they could share.

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…
