Years ago Shelby Dawson fled, with nothing but a broken heart and a baby on the way. She never expected to see him again. She sure as hell never wanted to need him.

Until her daughter meets the wrong man online.

Until her daughter is taken.

But when he discovers the missing daughter is his, he’ll rain down hell on whoever took her, and he might just find redemption in the process.

One-Click Your Copy!

Dark Secrets is the second title in the Black Hoods MC, and features Hashtag and Shelby.

Hashtag has enviable skills when it comes to computer, electronics and hacking, and it’s pretty easy to understand the meaning behind his road name.

Shelby is a sweet, yet a tad naïve single mother.

This pair were childhood sweethearts torn apart by misunderstandings and miscommunications.   After thirteen years apart the last person Hashtag expects to enter the clubhouse is Shelby.

This storyline is fast paced and full of suspense, action, intrigue and drama.  It’s both emotional, and steamy and I look forward to the next installment in the series. 

Catch up on the series with Dark Protector

A very sexy, tattooed and motorcycle-riding man with a dog that looks as savage as he is sweet. GreenPeace saves her. He makes her feel safe. He makes her feel a lot of things she’s never felt before.

But, the danger’s not over. Her attacker is still there, lurking in the shadows and waiting to strike again. GreenPeace will put his life and his club on the line to save the captivating woman that’s stolen his heart. But even that might not be enough.

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door.

 

At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.

 

It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer.

 

She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.

He’s a crash waiting to happen.

Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

Can't Fight It - Kaylee Ryan & Lacey Black

Colton
 
From the moment she showed up on my doorstep, I knew our lives would never be the same. I felt it deep in my soul that she was going to change us forever. I didn’t know how, but I knew she was important. I tried to maintain the distance between us, but it was too strong to fight.
 
With each passing day, I saw a future I never planned flash before my eyes—one with a fairytale ending. The only problem is that someone wanted to take that away from me, away from us. I just found her, and no way am I letting her go that easily.  Hollis is family, my family, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.
 
 
Hollis
 
Colton Callahan wasn’t what I expected. I was in desperate need of a fresh start, ready for something new, but all it took was one look at those intoxicating blue eyes for me to reevaluate everything. I tried to stay detached, but something about him just called to me.
 
It took no time at all for me to fall. Not only for the man I share a living space with, but also his son, Milo. The problem is my past is not too far behind, trailing behind me and slowly catching up. When it finally does, I have a choice to make—run away, leaving them behind, or stay and fight, potentially putting them in danger. Either way, I could lose it all.

Add the book to Goodreads

Lethal Edge is the first title in Kaylea Cross new Rifle Creek series, featuring Nina Gomez and Tate Baldwin, a pair who couldn’t be more dissimilar when it comes to their beliefs of finding true and lasting love!

Nina is an astrophysicist, a scholar and scientist to her core.  She’s passionate about her profession and teaching the next generation, but she’s just as passionate and optimistic in her beliefs regarding fate, love, and romance.

Tate on the other hand is a former military man, turned detective and he’s seen the worst in people and been burned himself so is more than a tad pessimistic when it comes to relationships and finding a happy ever after.

The side characters were intriguing and I look forward to seeing more of the quirky and fun inhabitants of Rifle Creek with future additions to the series.

Lethal Edge had everything I look for in a romantic suspense.  An engaging story line, packed full of heat, heart, humor, intrigue and danger.  I will be eagerly awaiting to the next release in this series.

Sweet Love - Mia Kayla

SWEET LOVE

By Mia Kayla

Release Date: July 29

 

 

That awkward moment when you insult the boss on your first day on the job.
Yeah, that just happened.

In my defense, if I’d known it was Connor Colby of the Colby’s Chocolates and Candies empire standing by the display dressed in a candy cane-striped suit, I never would have opened my mouth to tell him that their signature chocolate bar sucked.

How was I supposed to know he was the boss man?

He was in town temporarily to help save his father’s company.
I was only there for a payday to jump start my art career.

I had one job—help him come up with a rock solid marketing plan.
The task included long nights and late dinners working by Connor’s side.
It did not include kisses, sex in the supply closet, or … worst yet, falling in love.

Why is that so bad you ask?
Because the man is leaving right after our mission is complete. Job done.
Finito.

Will our sweet love turn into sour patched tear jerkers or will he be my big hunk, now & later and forever?

Sweet Love is a sweet and fun office romance.  The meet cute between Charli and Connor starts this story off with a bang, when the heroine unwittingly insults her new boss.

Both charli and Connor have struggled with family drama, and their romance has its fair share of ups and downs.  Charli is a likeable character looking for love and acceptance after a great loss and not really knowing where she fits in her new world.

Connor is sexy, handsome hero who’s time is running out save his family’s business, when the answer drops into his lap.

With strong themes of family and friendship this title has equal parts heat, heart and humor.  The dialogue and banter is witty, and flirty and I was captivated by the secondary characters, and hope we get their stories at some point in the future.

Just because I don't plan to score, doesn't mean I can't play the game... right?

Fumble is a romantic comedy that is sure to leave you with a smile upon your face.

 

Faith is a strong, sassy, independent and feisty heroine.  She’s also completely awkward and accident prone, and has an inability to filter what comes out of her mouth.  I found her to be completely quirky and charming and couldn’t help but love this character.

 

Hunter is successful, sweet and sexy, yet this former professional athlete is also quite intimidating and incredibly charismatic.

 

The scenes between this pair are hot and steamy and the sexual chemistry just oozes off the page.  Their banter and dialogue is not only fun and flirty, but is sure to have you laughing out loud.

 

Although my first read by Eva Haining, it won’t be my last and I look forward to reading Interception the second title in the hall of fame series.

Add ENGAGEMENT AND ESPIONAGE to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/2UoVpea

Engagement and Espionage is a cozy mystery featuring many favorite characters from Green Valley.  I loved the Winston Brothers series, and Jenn and Cletus in particular hold a special place in my heart.   This pair are incredibly quirky, intelligent, fun, yet whilst incredibly complex, they are also flawed.

I found the plot to be fast paced, engaging and intriguing, although the mystery was not all that hard to solve.

I would recommend reading at least Beard Science prior to reading this title if you are new to the Winston Brothers.  I look forward to seeing what Penny Reid will come up with next. 

“Don’t stop.” She reached for my belt again, this time completely undoing it, the button of my pants, and my zipper at world-record speed.

Her phone buzzed. Then it chimed. Then it buzzed and chimed two more times. Then it rang again. Reba.

Cursing, Jenn pulled the phone from her pocket, once again her face illuminated, murderous rage in her eyes. Her finger moved to the power off button. She blinked, hesitating. Her eyes widened, her body stiffened, and she gasped.

“Cletus!”

Something about her tone, like she was horrified, and maybe a little afraid, cut through the heavy haze of lust inertia, and my hands stilled. Shaking myself, it took me a few moments to realize she was showing me the phone screen, and another few to bring the content of the text messages into focus.

 

Momma: Jennifer Anne Sylvester, pick up your phone. If you’re with Cletus, I need his help. Please.

Momma: ALL THE CHICKENS AND ROOSTERS ARE DEAD! PICK UP YOUR DAMN PHONE!

Momma: I’m calling you in a second, pick up the phone. Mr. Badcock’s chickens are dead. All of them. I got here and he’s running around, deranged, yelling about his dead chickens! I called the police and they’re on their way. Please, please, please pick up the phone!

 

At some point, I must’ve taken the phone from Jenn and stepped away, because I glanced up upon reading the messages for the third time, finding the phone in my hand and Jenn fixing her skirt.

“This is nuts.” Her big eyes searched mine imploringly. “Who could have done this?”

I shook my head, having not yet managed to fully shift head gears—you know, from that head to the one on my neck—and my gaze dropped to the wet patch on the front of her dress just visible in the swath of light. My erection throbbed.

So we’re . . . not having sex?

“Why? Why would they do it? And WHO?” She snatched her phone back, her tone bewildered, distracted, and distraught. She was distraught because of the dead chickens, like any normal person would be.

I was distraught also, but my distress had nothing to do with farm animals.

“We have to go.” Jenn grabbed my hand and began walking toward the direction of the hall. Meanwhile, it took me until her hand found the door handle to realize my zipper and belt were still undone.

“This is crazy.” She paused as I zipped up, her tone halting and distracted. “Poor Mr. Badcock. And those poor chickens.” A sound of distress escaped her throat. “This is terrible.”

It was terrible.

And I was going to hell.

Because all I could think was, Talk about a cock block.
