Over Us, Over You: A Novel by Whitney G was just announced! It’s a standalone! — “Subject: Delete this message after you read it… Dear Hayley, I’m assuming you’re still hungover, so I’ll make this brief. Last night, you slipped under my sheets (without my permission), and we almost had sex. I got the hell out of the bed once I realized it was you, and I took you home. That’s the story. The end. Period. Just in case you’ve forgotten, you’re my best friend’s little sister. We will never be anything more… so I’d prefer if we worked on becoming ‘just friends’ again since you’re in town. Nonetheless, I’m not a man who leaves questions unanswered — even the drunken ones, so to properly close our inappropriate conversation: 1) Yes, I liked the way your lips felt against mine… 2) Yes, I do “prefer” rough sex, but I’m pretty sure I wasn’t rough with you. 3) No, I had no idea you were still a virgin… This message never happened, Corey”

Kristen Ashley announced that she’s writing a short story for… SHIRLEEN!!! Shirleen is one of the awesomest side characters EVER and many readers know her from the badass sexy Rock Chick series!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

Wish You Were Mine by Tara Sivec — New Release!!

Standalone: “Five years. I would’ve stayed away longer if I hadn’t received the letter. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t thought about her, haven’t missed her smile, haven’t wished that things were different.

The last time I saw my two best friends, I vowed to not stand in the way of their happiness, even if that meant I couldn’t be a part of their lives. Her eyes were too much of a temptation and I couldn’t stay and watch them together. She deserved better than me. She deserved him… But now that I am back, things are different. I’m not going to stand by and watch the woman I’ve always loved slip away again. I’m done living my life with regrets and I’m ready to tell her the truth. And I’ll do whatever it takes to show her that I always wished she was mine.”

Rock Solid by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde — New Release!!

Standalone: “He doesn’t do one night stands (yes, ladies, he’s an anomaly) so when he meets a beautiful woman during a snowed in night at the airport who wants to forget her heartache, he makes an exception. Their night together is incendiary, and by morning he wants more … except his sexy stranger is gone.

He’s pretty sure he’ll never see her again, until three and a half years later she finds him, and changes his entire world with three little words … You’re a daddy.”

Defiant Queen by Meghan March — New Release!!

Series: “I tell myself I hate him, but every time he walks into the room, my body betrays me. How can I want him and fear him in the same moment?
They told me he’d mess with my head. Make it go to war with my body.
But I didn’t realize it would be complete anarchy.
I should’ve known better. When he’s involved, there are no rules.
I will not surrender. I will not show weakness. I’ll stand my ground and make it out of this bargain with my heart and soul intact.
But he has other plans…”

The Bed Mate by Kendall Ryan — New Release!!

Can standalone (novella): “I might be a typical guy, but these last few years, my love life’s been anything but. The only constant has been my best friend Maggie.

Fresh off a bad breakup of her own, I invite her to my guy’s skiing weekend. But then something funny starts to happen. I start noticing things about her that I never noticed before… She’s beautiful and doesn’t know it, she’s funny without even trying, and now she’s suddenly single for the first time in forever… Sharing a hotel room with her proves to be the tipping point in our very platonic friendship. Suddenly I want to claim her, make sure no man touches her ever again. But then her groveling ex shows up, and she’s torn. Am I ready to screw up the best relationship I’ve ever had for a shot at something more?

Limitless Love by Audrey Carlan — New Release!!

Can standalone: I’m a good person. At least I try to be. After my husband left me, I picked up the pieces of my broken heart and tried to move on. One shattered piece at a time.
Just when I thought things were looking up, that I had suffered enough at the hands of fate, my past came back with nothing to lose and a blade that cut…deep.
Figuratively and physically scarred, I had nothing left to hold on to. That’s when Clayton Hart entered my world. With his blue eyes, spikey blond hair, and a body packed with muscles, I never stood a chance. Clayton pushed his way into my life, my bed, and my heart, proving that only the truest love can be limitless.

Cherish Hard by Nalini Singh — New Release!!

Can standalone: He has only one goal for his future – to create a successful business. No distractions allowed. Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent… and kisses like pure sin.

She craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her CEO-mother) makes her a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working closely with a certain hot gardener. And he has wickedness on his mind…

Misadventures of a Valedictorian by M.F. Wild & Mia Michelle — New Release!!

Can standalone: Like most girls at Ridgeville High, she has spent years fantasizing about the sexy star quarterback. He’s gorgeous, talented, and untouchable. While she studies her way to the top of the senior class, he’s stayed busy throwing game-winning passes and taking the cheer squad to bed.

Shy and mostly solitary after a tragic loss, she has never been on the radar of any social scene. Then a steamy chance encounter changes everything. Suddenly one naughty misadventure isn’t enough—for either of them. He is determined to open her eyes to every kind of pleasure, even if it means exploring an unconventional arrangement and ultimately taking a chance on something deeper…

Wicked Torture by J. Kenner — New Release!!

Can standalone: Outwardly, he is riding high as the tech world’s hottest new genius. Inside, he’s still reeling from the abduction of his wife and baby daughter eight years ago, and then the devastating discovery of his child’s body. For years, he kept up hope that his wife was alive, but now that she’s been declared legally dead, he’s [cut] himself off from emotional ties because they just hurt too damn much.

Then he meets her and everything changes. Even though he tries his damnedest to fight it… Sexually, they are combustible together. But their true fire is emotional, though it is a slow to burn. But once it lights, it is all consuming. The relationship grows emotionally, the sex is hot, things are good… But just when it’s looking like they might have a real future together, the past comes back to haunt them. And he’s going to have to decide what he’s willing to give up for love …

Free Ride by M.N. Forgy — New Release!!

Biker romance “about a Motorcycle Club whose club princess has a Split Personality Disorder. It shows the lengths of one man’s devotion to a woman trying to find her place in a world that bleeds from black out to black out”! — “I’m out of my mind and my life isn’t even mine half the time. Having Dissociative Identity Disorder, it’s an accurate assumption… It wasn’t until the last drop of blood dripped from my fingertips and the gun smoke faded into the night sky that I realized what was really important to me. Him. In a blink of an eye, I lost it all. I lost him. There’s no such thing as a Free Ride in life, and our story is an example of that.”

Love on the Edge of Time by Julie Richman — New Release!!

Standalone: “As bad boy rocker, Jesse Winslow, and former pageant queen, Kylie Martin, each fight the demons screwing up their lives, the one person who holds the key to healing their ills and reuniting two souls that have searched for one another, lifetime after lifetime, is the only one who knows the whole truth. And keeping that truth from them may just be in preeminent psychiatrist Dr. Claire Stoddard’s best interests.

Claire has committed the ultimate sin in the medical world. She’s fallen for the one man she’s forbidden to love. Her patient, Jesse Winslow. And she’s not about to lose him… Again.”

At Your Service by Lexi Blake — New Release!!

Can standalone: She had been an officer with a bright future in the military, but now she is struggling to survive. Her husband gone and her career in shambles, she finds a job as a hostess and tries to put together the pieces of her life. The last thing she needs is any kind of male attention, but she can’t help but be amused at her neighbor and coworker’s antics. Not that she would have anything to do with him, at least not for more than one night.

But with her niece’s life on the line, she needs his help now more than ever — and this time, she won’t take no for an answer …

The moment he sees her, the memories come rushing back. The fire in her eyes. The determination in her voice. The danger of having her in his life. He had to push her away once, but now with vicious criminals threatening her and her niece, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect them…”

Artemis by Andy Weir — New Release!!

Standalone: The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you’re not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you’ve got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she’s stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.

#Delete by Sandi Lynn — New Release!!

Standalone: “Men. They all come from the big genetic whirlpool of dysfunction central and their brains are all wired the same when it comes to women.
From one failed relationship after another, I made it my mission to get inside the heads of men to find out what really made them tick when it came to pursuing a woman. My goal was to help women take their lives and their power back when the guy they liked behaved badly. I wanted to empower them by teaching the concept of #Delete.
