In the Air Tonight by Marie Force
Blaise
I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.
Connections run deep in our small town.
I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.
I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.
Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.
I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.
Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me.
In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.
Sunday Morning by Jewel E. Ann
Her boyfriend’s older brother should be off-limits, but he’s a sinful temptation.
Sarah is a preacher’s daughter and a people pleaser. She’s also on the verge of graduating high school and following her dream of singing in Nashville. The only thing standing in her way is that the entire town of Devil’s Head, Missouri, thinks she will marry Matt, the son of the town’s richest rancher.
But Sarah’s not sure he’s her future husband, especially when his older brother, Isaac, returns home after serving six years in the Army. He has tattoos on his arms and bad habits that are not “father-approved.”
When he’s not working on the ranch or roping at the rodeo, Isaac hangs out in the barn, playing his guitar. He’s trouble, but Sarah’s music-loving heart gravitates toward him.
Isaac loves consuming Sarah’s mind, crawling under her skin, backing her into corners, and whispering inappropriate things in her innocent ears.
After weeks of playful banter and guitar lessons blurring the line between right and wrong, Issac makes Sarah a proposition she can’t refuse.
But when the unthinkable happens, and everything she knows is destroyed, will Sarah make the right choice?

They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.
But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.
If only I can stop thinking about her.

No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine.
The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.
Forever Starts Tonight by Karla Sorensen
It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with Jax Cartwright for half my life. A terrible decision, really, and not just because he’s my brother’s best friend or he’s ten years older than me.
Thanks to an overprotective family, he’s ignored me for years, but still, I can’t get his grumpy a** out of my head. And in a wine-fueled, post-bad date funk, I make another terrible decision: show up at his cabin to ask why he’s never given me a chance.
The storm that got me stuck there overnight was a total fluke, but I’m no fool. While Jax is perfectly clear about not wanting a family or love or any of the happily-ever-afters I’ve dreamed of, what’s the harm in asking for just one night? The worst thing he can say is no.
He doesn’t though, and I was saying yes, yes, yes a whole lot after that.
Best. Decision. Ever.
One night is enough to feel like I can move on, and we agree to let it be a secret kept safe between us.
But you know what makes it hard to keep a one-night secret about my not-so-secret crush?
A positive pregnancy test.
Oh baby, things are about to get interesting.
A Jingle Bell Mingle by Sierra Simone & Julie Murphy
What happens when there’s no room at the inn and you and your potentially demonic cat become roommates with your grumpy one-night stand?
Part-time adult film actress/one-time adult film director/makeup artist Sunny Palmer has accidentally sold her very first screenplay to the Hope Channel. That was six months ago. Fast forward to a looming deadline, an uninspired Sunny has returned to the source of her inspiration in Christmas Notch, Vermont, to immerse herself in the local Christmas miracle on which her fever dream of a movie pitch was based.
Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town’s historic mansion. After his years of heartbreak following his young wife’s death, Isaac’s record label is done waiting for new music. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace?
But after their best friends’ wedding leads to them waking up together in a freezing motel room with questionable wiring and a broken shower, Isaac takes a chance and asks Sunny to stay with him at his home. Surely the place is big enough that he’ll hardly see her or her unhinged cat. But when the two discover they’re both creatively blocked, they make a handshake deal: Isaac will help Sunny hunt down the truth behind the local lore, and Sunny will find Isaac a new muse.
And with these two opposites under one roof, there’s no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script…right?
How to Tame a Dissolute Prince by Scarlett Scott
Nando, the handsome, ne’er-do-well Prince of Varros, has grown bored with his aimless life of pleasure-seeking and debauchery. An unexpected end to his ennui arrives in the form of a maddeningly proper English spinster who challenges him with her glacial reserve. Nando can’t get enough of the icy, disapproving Miss Brett, and the more she rebuffs him, the more determined he becomes to make her his.
Renowned for her ability to turn any sow’s ear into a silk purse, Miss Eleanora Brett has taken dozens of young ladies under her wing, granting them the town bronze they need to gain the acceptance of the ton.

She’d sooner push him out a window than surrender, regardless of his undeniable skills at seduction. But when danger strikes, Eleanora and Nando suddenly find themselves spending a great deal of time alone together. And before long, it’s not just the rakish prince’s life that’s at risk. It’s his heart as well…
The Wrath King by Juliette Cross

Undeniably Infatuated by J.Saman
he wasn’t some random vacation fling like everyone thought. She was my brother’s ex-girlfriend. A forbidden addiction I knew better than to touch.
I was escaping my life, stuck at a crossroads, and needing some clarity.
She was on the run, hiding from the press and the world after everything crumbled around her.
It wasn’t planned, but we were inevitable like a runaway train. We couldn’t stop it even if we tried.
For ten days, she was mine.
But now everything is back to normal. I’m a doctor, she’s a Hollywood princess, and lucky for me, our paths rarely cross.
That is until her dark past comes roaring back and she needs my help.
Once again, I don’t know how to stay away. Every fiery word is a form of foreplay. Every stolen touch is a decadent dance with temptation.
I need her. I crave her. I can’t get enough of her.
Only now our secrets are multiplying. The lies we’re telling are getting out of control. And what initially felt right now feels like a complicated mess.
I may be undeniably infatuated with Tinsley Monroe, but she’ll never truly be mine.
Never Keep by Caroline Peckham & Susan Valenti
I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month.
But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long.
In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened.
But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress. Within the gothic walls of this frigid castle in the snow, we’re left to hold our own against the brutal Fae from the opposing lands.
The Reapers are merciless. The Royals are lying. The Werewolves run rampant and Vampires roam the wastelands in bloodthirsty covens. But even though death lurks in every shadow of the Keep, it’s the least of my worries.
I’m delving into secrets the stars don’t want me uncovering, making alliances with Fae born to be my enemy, falling for a sinner while promising my heart to a different heathen and somewhere amid it all, I’m supposed to win a war.
I thought the only thing I had to do was survive my magical instruction.
Turns out, fate doesn’t favour the wicked.
Not Mine to Keep by Brittney Sahin
The name DiMaggio means mafia royalty, but Calliope, the dynasty’s last living heir, is no princess. A teacher and singer in Nashville, she’s moved as far away from the generations-old criminal legacy as she can. But she still can’t escape her dying father’s wicked reach, or his plans for her arranged marriage to carry on the family name.
Playboy Alessandro Costa has a different plan: marry her himself—temporarily. It’ll give him a chance to take down the DiMaggio patriarch and his empire, settle an old debt, and save Calliope from a catastrophic fate. But when the attraction between them sizzles, business becomes pleasure and a marriage game becomes the real thing.
It only raises the stakes—and the danger. Because now they are living in the shadow of violent men who’ll do whatever it takes to destroy them. With their love and their lives on the line, Calliope and Alessandro are ready to fight fire with fire.
When He Reads to Me by T.L. Smith
I loved him from the beginning.
In the middle.
But maybe not at the end.
His love for me was full of possibilities, hopes, and dreams a girl like me wasn’t accustomed to.
He was a nightmare that cracked and bled through my hands, and I stood there watching as it seeped into the ground.
Until him.
He put me back together.
Without even knowing he was doing so.
And he wasn’t even my husband.
Late Nights & Love Lines by Avery Maxwell
The job was simple. Answer the phone, solve the single dad’s dilemma, and move on.
I’m the temporary solution.
The fill-in.
The short-term Single Dad Hotline Helper until a more suitable one can be found.
I don’t get attached, I don’t stick around, and I certainly don’t fall for the single dad.
Until the job said, “Hold my beer,” and tipped my world upside down.
Suddenly my past and present are colliding to create a future I didn’t ask for. One I’m not even sure I want. One I know I’m not cut out for. A live-in nanny for my childhood crush?
Yeah, no thanks!
But when Sebastian Walker reenters my life with three children full of sadness that I feel in my soul, how can I turn them away?
He takes my superstitions and runaway tendencies in stride while claiming my days. But before I know it, he’s demanding my nights too.
When it’s his touch that soothes the fears inside me, what’s a girl to do?
Blindside Beauty by Lex Martin
The single dad next door is my biggest temptation.
After I accidentally plow my car into Nick Silva’s bumper, I can’t blame him for not hiring me to be his daughter’s nanny, but I’m still salty about it. I need the money to go on a trip of a lifetime, one my ex didn’t want me to take.
The worst part is Nick just moved in next door.
I’m sure he associates me with my dirtbag ex—his former teammate—so I try to avoid my neighbor whenever possible.
But when his new babysitter gets locked out of the house, leaving Nick’s four-year-old alone inside, I attempt to rescue her by breaking in through a window.
Unfortunately, I have a wardrobe malfunction and end up flashing my goodies to the whole neighborhood, Nick included.
Because of my embarrassing heroics, Nick’s now convinced I’d be a great nanny.
The trouble with football players is they’re very persuasive, so I agree to take the job but immediately regret it.
Who needs to see a gorgeous, shirtless man jumping rope and doing push-ups in gray sweatpants? Who wants to watch a sexy, single dad snuggle his little girl and read her bedtime stories? Who enjoys working closely with a walking, talking thirst trap every single day?
Fine. I do. I want all of that, but I already swore I’d never date another jock after the last one stomped all over my heart, so this bookworm needs to play it safe.
But rumor has it Nick has a new girlfriend, which helps me maintain appropriate boundaries.
Because I won’t be blindsided by another quarterback again.
The Toughest Play by Jacob Chance
My new role as the social media content manager for the Silverbacks is a dream come true—except for my ex being the team’s quarterback.
Then there’s Rogan O’Rourke, the backup QB with the smoldering blue gaze and irresistible smile—who’s proving to be an unexpected complication.
Although he’s battling for the starting spot on the field, it seems he’s also vying for my attention. His flirtatious advances feel like a game I can’t win, and he’s doing his best to turn my life upside down.
But I’m on a mission to keep my career on track and steer clear of any romantic drama… especially with another football player.
And resisting Rogan?
That’s proving to be the toughest, and most tempting, play of all.
Savage Henry by Jane Henry
Scarred. Overlooked. Tainted.
Born into the ruthless underworld, I’ve been cast aside. I’m locked in a cage of lies and betrayal, now framed for a crime I didn’t commit.
But then he came for me.
Ollie Romanov, the savage enforcer, believes I’m a traitor.
He’s ruthless, merciless, and prepared to make me pay for my sins.
To him, I’m nothing more than a pawn to punish. A traitor to be broken.
Yet beneath the cold, brutal exterior, I see something more—a darkness that calls to my own.
I shouldn’t crave the twisted connection we share. I swear the man has no conscience…
Except when it comes to me.
Have I married a heartless monster? A psychopath?
Or has this Savage finally found his match in me?
Savage is a standalone dark romance with a strong, fierce heroine and an unapologetically obsessive, possessive, alpha anti-hero. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, always a hard-won HEA.
