BLURB

It all started with a bet.

When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.

Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property.

We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.

You could say we got off on the wrong foot.

We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out.

He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work.

I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast.

We couldn’t agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.

But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof.

Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. Not to mention, he was so great with my son.

We were in over our heads in more ways than one.

Because not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex’s older brother.

And now the inn was the least of my problems.

Excerpt reveal - Summer lovin by Laurelin Paige & Kayti McGee

SUMMER LOVIN (Dating Season #6) by Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee Release Date: September 7th Genre/Tropes: Contemporary, Romantic Comedy Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58113068-summer-lovin PRE-ORDER IS AVAILABLE!!! Amazon: https://geni.us/SummerLovinAmazon Apple Books: https://geni.us/SummerLovinApple Kobo: https://geni.us/SummerLovinKobo Nook: https://geni.us/SummerLovinNook Google Play: https://geni.us/SummerLovinGoogle START THE SERIES TODAY!!! https://laurelinpaige.com/dating-season

Excerpt: He walks me back toward the bed and breaks away when the back of my knees hit the mattress. “I’m going to give you your gift.” “Oh. Now?” He nods and wets his lips. “I think you’ll want this gift. Are you ready for it?” “Really, it’s okay. You don’t have to,” I say greedily, wanting to continue the make-out session with him. “We don’t know how long they’ll be gone, so let me kiss you senseless a little longer?” He reaches between my legs and palms the epicenter of my lust, rubbing the heel of his hand against the electrified bundle of nerves. I’m sure I’ll love his present, but his magical hand has me under a spell. I don’t want to seem ungrateful, so I shove my selfish desires away. “I’m ready and then I’ll kiss you senseless with gratitude?” His teeth scrape against the shell of my ear while he continues to work my body into a frenzy. “My gift is to kiss your pussy senseless.” My thighs clench at his dirty talking. This moment seems surreal. Like it’s too good to be true, and the universe is messing with me and I’ll wake up in the morning to realize it’s been a dream. “Climb on the bed.”

Blurb: My dating season has come to a close, and I’m ready for a Hot Boyfriend Summer… Almost every single thing in my life has changed over the past year. New job. New me. New knowledge. Ah, to be young again, with the wisdom I have gained over a year’s worth of dating-as-a-competitive-sport. If only I’d had just about an inch more before I made my commitment... Episode six of six in the laugh-out-loud Dating Season series. About Laurelin Paige: With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Killing Eve or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.

A fake relationship with a sexy cowboy in a small town is never a good idea...

-Alana-

After high school, my plan was to leave the small town of Mason Creek and never look back. I thought I’d work my way through college while my long-time, bull rider boyfriend chased his rodeo dreams and took me along for the ride.

My own dreams of becoming his publicist and living the high life together on the PBR circuit were crushed when it became clear that my eight seconds was up. The buckle bunnies were suddenly more appealing than the girl with her nose buried in the books.

I’ve sworn off men, especially cowboys and bull riders.

That is, until I walk in on one in my shower, naked, wet, and built like he could break my heart… and my bed.

-Holden-

The rodeo has been my whole world, and all it took was one false accusation to bring it crumbling down. I cleared my name, but the organization I’ve given my life and my body to for the past seven years doesn’t give a damn. They don’t want the drama and right now they don’t want me.

That’s how I ended up in Mason Creek, hiding from the cameras while the dust settles and I can reclaim my reputation and my rank in the PBR. The last thing I need is to get messed up with a local girl, especially one who hates cowboys--bull riders in particular.

Our relationship may be just for show, but I see the opportunity for what it is…The chance to keep my secret a little longer and prove to Alana that maybe her problem with bull riders is simple…

She hasn’t ridden the right one yet.

TRAILER

EXCERPT

The packed pub makes my skin crawl. All I want to do is congratulate Nora, have a beer, then get out of the pub as soon as possible. And then, my heart almost leaps out of my chest. The most stunning woman I've ever seen is sitting in a booth with Nora, Anna, and some other women. Her smile lights up the room. Kindness radiates off her. Innocence best describes her aura, and I already know she's way too good for me or any other man in this bar. Her long, blonde hair, blue eyes peeking out under thick lashes, and pink, pouty lips take my breath away. I don't know what they're saying, but a blush fills her cheeks. For the first time in what feels like forever, I'm sure about something. I have to meet her. As I beeline toward the table, my gut flips.

Cover reveal - Stolen by Natasha Knight

Title: Stolen: Dante's Vow

Author: Natasha Knight

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Cover Design: CoverLuv

Release Date: September 30, 2021

BLURB

Five years.

That’s how long it took me to find her.

Five years after my world shattered, leaving me a scarred and broken man.

By then, the girl I knew was gone. In her place stood a woman. One who looked like an angel. An impossible, beautiful angel.

I killed for her. Soaked my hands in the blood of those who hurt her and rescued her from hell.

But hell has a way of following you. Becoming a part of you. Maybe the only part you recognize.

I had every intention of bringing her home. Setting her free.

I swear I did.

But the men who stole her all those years ago weren’t done with her yet. They’d stop at nothing to get her back. And I’d kill any man who tried to take her from me.

She calls me her avenging angel.

But I know the truth.

I’m no angel.

Because even as I tell myself I’m protecting her I know one thing for sure.

I am a monster, too. No better than them.

Because just like them, I’ll never let her go.

Author's note: Stolen is Dante Grigori's story and although a standalone, would be better enjoyed after reading With This Ring and I Thee Take.

Excerpt reveal - Broken bride by Stella Gray

Excerpt: His dark hair glints in the sunlight and something flickers in his eyes. A spark of interest, perhaps. My heart flips in anticipation as he leans in to kiss me, but my body is stiff and I don’t fluidly lean in to meet him. It must show, because suddenly his hand is behind my head and he’s pulling me toward him. Closer, closer until his hot breath touches my mouth and his lips are on mine, his tongue demanding to get between them as he forces me to open for him. I pull in a shocked breath through my nose, my cheeks flaming with heat as he punishes me with his kiss. My lips tingle, little sparks of heat flicking over my skin as his tongue slides along mine, tasting me, demanding to know me. I’m woozy with the force of the kiss, my knees going watery. It’s time to pull back…this has gone on too long for a public kiss… but he won’t let go. My neck throbs from the force of my pulse there. The tingling grows, the sparks multiplying. Finally, Dante slowly breaks away. I take a breath while his lips still touch mine, barely, just barely. His eyes bore into mine, and then he takes my lower lips between his teeth and presses the tender flesh. I jerk as the pressure promises pain, but he lets me go, putting space between us so quickly that I nearly falter.

Blurb: I was sold to him to settle a debt… but Dante Bellanti never settles. My father was always a gambling man. Unfortunately, he never could pick winners. When the wolves closed in, he chose himself, like always. He traded his freedom… for mine. He forced me to marry. Now Dante Bellanti owns my body. I’m just another possession for a man who already has too much. So I won’t let him have my heart. But you know what they say about gambling. The house always wins. And I’m at the mercy of the Bellantis...
