LEGENDS ANTHOLOGY

For over a decade, the books of USA Today and New York Times bestselling authors, Leylah Attar, Amy Harmon, Katy Regnery and Mia Sheridan, have captivated readers with their lyrical prose, spellbinding characters and heart-wrenching love stories. From Archer’s Voice (Sheridan) and What The Wind Knows (Harmon), to Unloved (Regnery) and The Paper Swan (Attar), these four authors have attracted deeply-loyal fans from all over the world who praise their unforgettable storytelling.

For the first time ever, these four authors have each contributed a beloved, indie novel to LEGENDS, a limited-time collection. Four unlikely couples will sweep you off your feet, fill your hearts with hope and love, and leave you breathless for more. Whether you are a fan of all four authors, or just one, we guarantee that the stories in this collection will resonate for you.

MISTS OF THE SERENGETI (Leylah Attar): Set against the lush backdrop of East Africa, this award-winning contemporary love story follows two ordinary people, bound by tragedy, as they undertake a remarkable journey through the Serengeti to save endangered children. Jack, a coffee farmer in Tanzania, and Rodel, an English teacher from London, meet in the aftermath of devastation, but discover a connection that transcends distance, culture, and circumstance. Inspired by true events, Mists of The Serengeti is a flawlessly written, emotionally resonant tale of the unknown ways in which we are all connected.

THE LAW OF MOSES (Amy Harmon): Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy laundromat. Years later, Moses is a troubled teen: strange, exotic, beautiful…and utterly beloved by Georgia Shepard. And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. Exquisitely written and deeply emotional, trust in the journey, and in Amy, your guide.

THE VIXEN AND THE VET (Katy Regnery): In this “Beauty and the Beast” retelling, disgraced journalist Savannah Carmichael returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia, with her once-promising career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get her skin back in the game by writing a patriotic human-interest piece, she agrees to interview local war-hero-turned-hermit, Asher Lee. Savannah has no intention of falling for the gravely-injured veteran, but fate has other plans for her. Intensely romantic, fast-paced and ultimately unforgettable, this modern twist on a beloved fairytale is an instant classic.

THE WISH COLLECTOR (Mia Sheridan): Upon arriving in magical, mysterious New Orleans, ballerina Clara Campbell is instantly captivated by the tragic legend of Windisle Plantation. Returning day after day, she speaks to a phantom voice through the cracks of a stone wall, falling deeply in love with a man whose face she’s never seen…a man who knows that Clara’s hopes for a future beyond the thick walls of Windisle are impossible. The Wish Collector is story of shame and triumph, of loneliness and love, and the miracle of two hearts connecting despite the barriers between them.

*Note: this special, limited-time collection will only be offered from January 1 – March 30, 2025.

MR. BROODY BY PIPER RAYNE

I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing.

To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love.

Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began.

I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out.

Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it.

But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.

STEALING FOR KEEPS BY REBECCA JENSHAK

Frost Lake High’s new soccer star, the team captain’s ex-girlfriend, and a dare that changes everything. 

When Austin Keller’s family moves across the country for his chance to play with the prestigious Frost Lake soccer team, he’s ready to seize the opportunity. But on his first night out with the team, a dare to kiss the team captain’s ex-girlfriend sets in motion a rivalry that threatens his future.

Claire Crawford was once an aspiring figure skater, but a recent injury has changed everything. To make matters worse, her boyfriend dumped her. Starting her junior year, she’s unsure of her next steps. One thing she knows for sure: she’s not falling for the new guy. That electrifying kiss at the bonfire? Already forgotten…almost.

He’s chasing his dreams. She’s lost hers. The more Claire tries to push him away, the harder he works to win her over. He’s stealing her heart, and he’s doing it for keeps.

MY ONE & GOALIE BY KARA KENDRICK

He’s the bad boy of professional hockey.
She’s a struggling single mom.
What neither of them sees coming is each other.

I have a reputation—and it’s not a good one. I’m a fighter on the ice, a player in the sheets, and apparently that’s more trouble than my coach wants on his team.

After one too many run-ins with the press, my agent sends me to small-town Starlight Bay to rehab my image. A few well-placed articles and photo ops of me coaching a youth hockey team should get me back in everyone’s good graces quickly. Then I can leave this sleepy town behind for good.

What I don’t count on is falling hard for struggling single mom Rachel. She’s smart, funny, wildly gorgeous—and doesn’t even know it. And the bonus point? Her kid’s got real talent on the ice.

I shouldn’t shoot my shot with a single mom, but I can’t help myself. One night of red-hot passion leaves me wanting more, so much more. For the first time, there’s more to my life than hockey. Now I want a chance at forever with Rachel and her son.

THE FINAL EXAM BY SKYE WARREN

A shadow looms over Tanglewood University.

It threatens the professors and the students. It threatens the dean.

I’m powerless to stop corruption that goes deep into the city’s underworld.

Professor William Stratford has the secrets we need. And I find inside me a strength that has nothing to do with escaping my family. It has to do with building a new one.

Can we reclaim the college? Can we forge a future together?

We need more than bravery to win, but it will mean nothing without love.

THE FINAL EXAM is the breathtaking final book in the Tanglewood University trilogy.

FORBIDDEN DREAMS BY NATASHA MADDISON

Montgavin Township will never be the same when one night changes the lives of six people.

When the single mom moves in next door, it’s your enemy’s soon-to-be ex-wife.
Lines are drawn, and I have to remember not to cross them.

Brady
For once, my life was calm.
Behind us was the threat our distillery was going to be shut down.
Now we could focus on growing our brand exactly the way I dreamed of doing it when I took it over.
Nothing was going to stop me.
Until she moved in next door.
My enemy’s wife with her seven-year-old son.
I don’t need this right now.
But everything inside me pulled me toward her.
Even offering her a job. Little did I know, again, I was starting a war.
However, I’m ready for it this time.

Harmony

It was no secret my husband had a wandering eye.
Leaving him shouldn’t have been a shock to anyone.
For Winston, it was more about failing at something that got under his skin.
Besides, he had to make his parents happy.
Which means he’s going to make my life unhappy.
When the pounding starts at my door one night, I’m ready to ignore it.
Until the stranger next door comes to our aid.
He’s everything you want in a man.
I know I shouldn’t involve anyone else in my life.
But maybe it’s time for me to see what dreams are made of.

NEVER BARGAIN WITH THE BOSS BY LAUREN LANDISH

Grumpy single dad? Me.
Sassy nanny with a past? Her.
And a too-smart-for-her-own-good pre-teen? That’d be my beloved daughter.

Being a single dad isn’t easy. Neither is running a billion-dollar company. Parenting is definitely harder, but I’ve been doing just fine—at least, that’s what I keep telling myself. And then another nanny quits.

I’m not asking for much, just someone to help manage our carefully planned schedule, put up with my surliness, and not run away from the challenges my twelve-year-old daughter presents. Sounds easy enough, right? Apparently not.

Until Riley Stefano shows up.

She’s nothing like my other nannies. Pink hair, wrists full of oversized bracelets, and a personality as loud as her wardrobe. Not exactly the picture of order and professionalism I prefer. She’s chaotic and carefree, while I’m cursing the sun for daring to rise each day. But Grace loves her – and as much as I hate to admit it, Riley’s good at what she does. She fits into our little family better than I would’ve thought possible.

It should be perfect. There’s just one problem. Riley.

She has a way of breaking down walls I’ve spent years building, bringing up a past I’d rather leave buried, and making me feel things I have no right to. But with her right down the hall, it’s impossible to stay away. And the more time we spend together, the harder it gets to remember why I swore I’d never risk my heart again.

Never Bargain With The Boss is a full-length romance with an HEA. It can be read as a standalone.

BREAK BY HEART BY JENNIFER SUCEVIC

After my life imploded last year, Dad decided that a change in scenery was necessary and moved us across the country. I’ve done the one thing I never thought I would—leave the competitive skating world behind in the rearview mirror.
It hasn’t been easy.
Especially when the person buried in my past no longer wants to stay there.
Ever since stepping foot on campus, I’ve gone out of my way to avoid the hockey players that strut around like they’re God’s gift to the female species.
There’s a reason for that.
My father is Reed Philips, head coach for the Western Wildcats. The number one rule in our house has always been that I keep a healthy distance from his players.
That’s never been a problem.
And it’s not necessarily one now.
Except…
I’ve just had a major run in with Hayes Van Doren.
One that includes me walking in on him freshly showered in the locker room and him thinking I was there to deliver a special birthday present by dropping to my knees.
Oh, trust me…he got a treat all right.
One that left him singing soprano.
I might have spent most of this year flying under the radar where Hayes is concerned, but that’s no longer possible.
Everywhere I go, there he is.
Forcing his way into my life.
He’s a complication I don’t need.
Or want.
Except…
He’s decided to change my mind about that.
The question is—will I let him?

PRIMAL BY RENEE ROSE & VANESSA VALE

PACK RULE #7: PACK SECRETS MUST BE KEPT

I’m supposed to erase her memory, not claim her.

My son’s date knows too much. The most important rule of the pack has been broken: She’s seen him shift. The alpha orders me to make her forget, but one hint of her scent and I know the truth—this human is MINE.

Riley’s half my age. She has her whole life in front of her. If I claim her, I lock her into a fate she never even imagined. Besides, she thinks I’m a player–only out for one thing.

I should stay away. Should let her go. But Riley is too sweet, too beautiful, and far too mine.

Now she’s caught between our two worlds—one side thinks we should steer clear of each other. The other wants a forever bond…either way, she’ll suffer the consequences.

She doesn’t understand the bond between us, but I can’t protect her without it. When danger comes for her, she has to trust me to keep her safe—the wolf who was born to be hers.

BLAZE BY FIONA DAVENPORT

Pax “Blaze” Driscoll was an expert on fires, but he never expected to fall for a woman in the middle of a flaming building. Especially not after she accidentally set fire to a Hounds of Hellfire MC warehouse.

Courtney Cartwright’s roommate disappeared without a trace after she stole from the wrong people. They’re out for blood…and Courtney is smack dab in their crosshairs. But Blaze will burn down the world before he lets anything happen to his woman.
