This is the next standalone in one of my TOP TOP TOP FAVORITE SERIES. — “Trapped in his tiny mountain cabin, she didn’t expect to fall for his big heart… To stay safe, she’s forced to trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he isn’t the slightest bit interested in a city girl like her… He likes his life quiet and simple. So when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe…” Be sure to preorder a copy because this book is guaranteed to be EPIC! (Want to start reading now??

• From This Moment by Melanie Harlow was just announced! It’s a standalone and SOUNDS AMAZING! — “When my late husband’s twin brother moves back to our small town, I want to avoid him. Everything about him reminds me of the man I lost and the life we’d planned together, and after eighteen long months struggling just to get out of bed, I’m finally doing okay. I have a new job, an amazing support group, and a beautiful five-year-old daughter to parent. I don’t want to go backward. But I’m drawn to him, too. He understands my grief and anger and loneliness like no one else—and I understand his. Before long, that understanding becomes desire, and that desire becomes uncontrollable… We make excuses. We blame our sorrow. We promise each other it will never happen again. But it does…” (PS: if you want to start reading this author’s books right now, here are two other standalones by her that I’ve LOVED: After We Fall and If You Were Mine)



• Play On by Samantha Young was just announced! It can standalone! —She chased a dream from Indiana to Scotland, so sure it was the right thing to do. Three years later she was left in her adopted country with nothing to her name but guilt and regret. Until he entered her life. Older, worldlier, a music producer and composer, the sexy Scot should never have made sense for her. But somehow in each other they found the light they were looking for. But when life dealt him another unlucky hand, instead of reaching for her he disappeared. The agonizing loss of him inspired something within her. It fired her spirit— the anger and hurt pushing her forward to take control and reach for her dreams. Finally pursuing a career, everything is how she wants it. She’s avoiding heartbreak and concentrating on her goals. Sounds easy but it’s not. Because he is back. And for some reason he hates her. He’s determined to be at war with her. And she has absolutely no idea why.”



• How to Date a Douchebag: The Learning Hours by Sara Ney was announced! It’s a standalone in this series! — My friends want me to get laid. So much so that they plastered my ugly mug all over campus, in bold printed letters: “Are you the lucky lady who’s going to break our roommate’s cherry? Text him at: 555-254-5551″ … The texts I’ve been receiving are what wet dreams are made of. But I’m not like these douchebags, no matter how hard they try to turn me into one. THIS ISN’T THE KIND OF ATTENTION I WANT. One text stands out from hundreds. One number I can’t bring myself to block. She seems different. Hotter, even in black and white…”

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Beneath The Truth by Meghan March — New Release!!

Can standalone: “I used to believe there were lines in life you don’t cross. Don’t lie. Don’t cheat. Don’t steal. Until I learned people don’t always practice what they preach… I turned in my badge and gun and walked away from everything.
Then I got the call no one wants, and I’m back.
What I don’t expect is for her to be here too.
Another line you don’t cross? Don’t touch your best friend’s little sister.
She’s always been off-limits.
Too bad I don’t follow the rules anymore.”

 

The Forbidden by Jodi Ellen Malpas — New Release!!

Standalone: “She has never experienced the ‘spark’ with a guy – the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It’s not just a spark that ignites between them. It’s an explosion.

Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, she slips out of their hotel room. She is certain that a man who’s had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily, must be dangerous. But she’s already in too deep. And Jack isn’t only dangerous… He is forbidden.”

 

Bad Deeds by Lisa Renee Jones — New Release!!

Series: Would you bleed for the one you love?
To save his family empire from the grip of the drug cartel, he is pushed to the edge of darkness, forced to make choices he might never make… There is another war brewing though, and that one, is inside him, his battle between right and wrong, light and dark, and in the heat of the night, it is her he turns to for escape…
In every one of his seductive demands, she can taste and feel, his torment, his struggle to save his family and not lose himself. But he is losing himself, and that is a problem just as dangerous as her secret, that still lurk in the shadows, a threat to his family waiting to erupt…

 

The Forger by Michele Hauf — New Release!!

Can standalone: Her bosses at Scotland Yard don’t take her work very seriously. Art and antiquities? Boring! But her latest investigation is turning out to be far more explosive than anyone expected. In fact, the vandalized, booby-trapped painting hanging on the gallery wall would have blown her off her feet if it wasn’t for the tall, dark-haired stranger who tackled her at the last second—a stranger as finely sculpted as any masterpiece in the museum.

He is working this case for the Elite Crimes Unit because it was a choice between that and lockup. A (barely) reformed art forger, he’s got the expertise to lead her through a dangerous manhunt. But the crime may have a more personal connection to him—and the all-too-real feelings he’s developing toward her could pull her into the line of fire too…

 

The Wright Mistake by K.A. Linde — New Release!!

Can standalone: I spent six weeks screwing his brains out and all I got was this broken heart. He can’t be trusted. Not with my body or my heart. Yet, two years have passed and I still crave him like an addict needing a fix.
The last time we tried this, it nearly ruined me. I know I should run and never look back. But his dark haunted eyes and razor blade smile speak to my soul. His touch sets my body on fire. And we all know what happens when you light gasoline. Someone is bound to get burned…
A second chance might destroy us both. Because everyone knows two wrongs don’t make a Wright.

 

So Good by Nicola Rendell — New Release!!

Can standalone: On the roof of a house, he looks down through a skylight and sees the most beautiful woman he’s ever laid eyes on. She’s naked, she’s gorgeous, and everything about her is perfect, down to the tattoo that wraps around her hip. But it isn’t just any woman making his knees buckle. It’s his best friend. And as he stands there, mesmerized and precariously close to toppling off the roof, he knows he’ll never, ever be able to look at her the same way again.

She can’t help but notice that he is suddenly acting very strange—lots of long stares, totally tongue-tied, and not at all like the slightly cocky hunk she’s proud to call her best friend. She can’t figure it out, until later that night when he rescues her from the world’s worst date, challenges her to a game of pool, and shows her just exactly what she’s got him thinking about. Repeatedly.

But life is complicated. Her cat wants to eat his dog for an afternoon snack. A dream job threatens to pull them apart. And another glance through the skylight changes everything, one more time. Yet try as they might, they can’t go back to being just friends, because falling in love with the one you’ve always adored?

It feels so good.

 

A Better Place by Jennifer Van Wyk — New Release!!

Standalone: After his wife walked out on him, he put his dreams aside to raise his daughter. But now she’s grown and he’s ready for more… He’s kept his heart closed off since the day his wife walked away. He’s never found someone who he thought was worth opening himself up to. But one look at her, and he knew she was everything.

She has a secret. A secret only she and her teenage son know about. She’s built a new life but kept herself carefully guarded. The day she stumbled, literally, into him, her world was turned upside down. She tries to keep him strictly as a friend, but he’s relentless in his pursuit. Can he break down the walls she’s so firmly built? Can he get her to join him in a better place?

 

Aim by L.P. Dover — New Release!!

Can standalone: “When someone asks what I do for a living, I answer it plain and simple… I’m a hunter. I hunt the dregs of society and I’m very damn good at it.

I’m a member of an organization of justice seeking vigilantes. My mission is to solve a string of ‘accidental’ hiking deaths occurring around my town. When a woman who’s been missing for days shows up on my land, it turns out she’s the key to it all. Someone is hunting her, and I make it my duty to keep her safe… However, the deeper I get into the case, the more dangerous it becomes; especially, now that I’ve fallen for the woman I have to protect. If hunting is the game, I won’t fail. I always hit my mark.”

She was wishing for what could have been, while he was wishing for what was. And what was… well, it was nothing. At least not to her.
