Just one reason of many that hockey players aren't my type. When I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, however, I'm faced with another problem. My anonymous fling from two months ago is Tyler Donahue, the superstar goalie for my brother’s team. We both agree to pretend it never happened, but it quickly becomes clear neither of us can forget. Before I know it, we're exchanging heated glances from across the room, sending spicy texts at all hours of the night, and stealing kisses behind closed doors. Since my overprotective brother would freak out, we decide to keep things between us a secret. There’s no point in rocking the boat when I don't want a boyfriend, and Tyler doesn't have time for a girlfriend with his grueling hockey schedule. But as our no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper and more meaningful, I begin to see a softer side of the broody, closed-off goalie. He's gentle, protective, and giving in every sense of the word. Despite what I told myself going in, I'm falling hard and falling fast.

Those Three Words - Alexis Winter Cover Art

Those Three Words

Those Three Words by Alexis Winter

I never thought getting fired from my dream job would change my life. And I certainly never imagined three little words would be my undoing . Trust me—they're not the words you're thinking. Those three delicious, toe-curling words whispered by my boss were where it all changed. When budget cuts at my local school leave me scrambling to find a job before I get evicted, I stumble upon the listing of a lifetime. How hard can being a live-in nanny for a little five year old girl be? Especially when it's double the salary and comes with a sexy, single dad. But the moment I step inside Graham Hayes multi-million dollar estate and meet the grumpy billionaire—I know I'm in way over my head. It's not just that he's quite possibly the most attractive man I've ever seen, it's the way he stares at me like it takes everything he has to keep from devouring me. The way he curls his hands into fists to avoid touching me. The way he reprimands me through gritted teeth while his lust filled eyes burn through me. The naughty things he whispers against my lips as his hands explore me. Way over my head. Caring for his daughter is a dream—even his mother loves me. Soon, I'm head over heels in this fantasy I'm living. I'm even able to ignore the cryptic threats from his house-keeper who's hellbent on getting me fired. But I'm not prepared for the world of high-powered billionaires and glitzy parties. Besides, Graham isn't like these people—he's different. At least, I think he is…until a shady character I've tried to leave in the past reappears as Graham's new business partner and I'm reminded that I don't belong in this world. Sometimes life changing news comes in the form of just three simple words. Sometimes it comes in the form of an unexpected, heart-wrenching secret and the fairytale is shattered. Sometimes, it comes in the form of the opportunity of a fresh new start. You just have to be willing to take the risk and walk away or maybe…there's three little words that can fix it all.

After a hit kids’ TV show, she transitioned into music, singing in arenas around the world and becoming an icon for millions of teenage girls. Now at age twenty-six, exhausted by the inhumane lack of privacy, she’s done—with all of it. She wants a chance at normal, whatever that might mean for her. And she’s starting with college. Professor Nick Navarro is recently divorced but determinedly optimistic, allowing himself a very reasonable ten minutes per day to wallow. When his department calls a meeting about a celebrity enrollment, he plans to treat whoever it is like any other student. Except when Ramona blazes into class and causes an uproar, the typically easygoing professor is rattled, maybe for the first time in his career. Ramona loves the way she flusters him, taking every opportunity to push Nick’s buttons, though what she really wants is to unbutton them completely. When a crisis brings them closer outside of class, they begin a tentative friendship amid an undeniable attraction. But Ramona can’t be so easily finished with her old life, and they’ll both have to confront their pasts if they want a chance at something real.

After getting canned from her dream job this morning and played in spectacular fashion by her boyfriend this afternoon, Savannah “Savvy” Valentine is having a truly awful day. Which is why she’s currently drowning her sorrows in whiskey and self-pity in a shabby bar along the route to Las Vegas. In light of today’s double whammy, Savvy isn’t sure why she’s still heading in the direction of her five-year high school reunion. The only reason she’d wanted to attend the reunion in Vegas in the first place was to show the captain of the football team, the guy who took her virginity and then promptly rejected her, that the captain of the math team grew up to have all enviable hot things: hot body, hot boyfriend, and hot career. Now, the only “hot” thing about Savvy Valentine is her mess. But when a gorgeous stranger with sandy hair, a leather jacket, and motorcycle helmet walks into the bar, Savvy’s awful day suddenly looks a whole lot brighter. The man is perfection.

Savvy Valentine is about to find out. Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance.

Or would the tension I feel between us snap and release something feral inside her? Inside me? Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston. But then the real circus finds him. Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor. The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together. . . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts will catch up.

Beyond What Is Given

Beyond What Is Given by Rebecca Yarros

Be careful what you wish for... Lt. Grayson Masters is focused on graduating the Apache helicopter course, and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate Samantha Fitzgerald distracting him. While her smart mouth and free spirit are irresistibly irritating, he can't deny their off-the-charts chemistry, no matter how hard he tries. Having just been expelled from college, Sam has no business digging for Grayson's secrets while she's hiding her own, but that doesn't stop her from trying to tear down his walls. Each barrier she busts through drops one of her own, though, and she's not prepared for the truth: another woman laid claim to Grayson's heart long ago. Falling in love is something neither Grayson nor Sam can afford, and when that line is crossed and secrets are exposed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers that will put you through hell.

Beautiful Enemy

Beautiful Enemy by Piper Lawson

I sold my soul to a man I hate. Now, he owns me. I had a plan: sign a contract and board a plane to Ibiza. The anonymous deal would salvage the smoldering wreckage of my life. It would not involve billionaire Harrison King, the reason I need saving in the first place.  He's as beautiful as he is ruthless. A British business titan who makes a living getting what he wants. The man flies private. Dates supermodels. But the crisp accent and cocky smirk don't fool me. He's a gentleman on the outside, a savage beneath.  He knows nothing about compromise, and even less about love. Because after my attempt to publicly stand up for those who needed it, he destroyed my reputation. Now, he's come for the rest of me. I can't escape him, no matter what he has planned. But the first rule of war is never underestimate your opponent. Harrison King might know my secrets… But kings keep secrets too.
