- My One Night by Carrie Ann Ryan just went live!! — “She didn’t want to go to another party, but when her friend pulls her in, she somehow finds herself hiding in a corner with…him. The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes. A single glance, a sweet smile, and she lets herself have one night of giving in. Only she has to promise herself not to fall in love. No matter the cost. He never expected her. She haunts his dreams more than he cares to admit. He never thought he stood a chance—until she said yes. When a single night turns to two, he know he’s in over his head, but somehow, she makes him believe he can have anything. Until the sun rises, and his past along with it…”
- Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne just went live!! — “Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parloni’s beck and call, forever. That’s sort of her life plan. If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager. She might also be able to defend her safe little world from Prescott Development, the new buyer of the prime site. Maybe after all that, she can find a cute guy to date. All she needs to do is stay serious—and that’s what she does best. Until, one day, someone dazzling blows in to town…”

- The Virgin Rule Book by Lauren Blakely goes live this week!! — “Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended. But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings… The next day, he and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my friend too and has been for years, so it’s easy to move on, especially since I have a high-profile business to run. But since he’s newly single and I’m always single, it turns out we both desperately need plus ones…”
- How to Catch a Duke by Grace Burrows just went live!! — “I have come to ask you to kill me, my lord.” Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear—permanently—and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of “murder” to keep Abigail safe. Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it’s his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if only he can convince her his love is real.”
- Every Time I Fall by Lexi Ryan just went live!! — “He’s my brother’s best friend. The hot guy with the heart of gold I’ve never let myself want… I’m content to be his buddy and nothing more.
