I have been in love with Shepard Thorne since I was twelve.

He’s my best friend’s hot older brother, and I am the weird redhead who low-key follows him everywhere. He’s soccer’s bad boy, and I am stuck in a dead end job, serving drinks at the local strip club.

Our paths aren’t meant to cross.

Until one day I catch him getting a lap dance at the club and jealousy makes me ruin his fun.

Now he’s made it his mission to make my life hell and no matter what I do, there is no escape.

Everywhere I turn, there he is, waiting for his payback.

He threatens to kiss me one second, and choke me the next.

He promises to bring me to my knees and make me beg.

What started as a little harmless prank turns into a twisted game of blackmail that’s toxic but oh-so-good.

But it has to end.

Because I have a secret...

That ties me to my tormentor in an irrevocable way, and if he ever finds out, it will wreck everything I now crave.

Even his revenge.

Note: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of Bardstown

RELEASE BLAST: What We Keep by J.H Croix

 

WHAT WE KEEP

J.H Croix

Release Date: August 8

A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

When the grumpy firefighter falls for the sunshine girl who turns his world upside down…

Elsa Whitney walks into my life like she owns the sun, all warmth and light, and shatters the quiet I’ve been clinging to. Not that I can blame her. She’s impossible to ignore. And somehow, I’m the idiot who offered her a place to stay.

Brilliant move.

I’ve got enough on my plate—raising my son, rebuilding my family’s resort, and trying to keep the pieces of my family together. The last thing I need is a distraction, especially one as tempting as Elsa.

Too bad my family is already smitten. Worse? They swear I’m less of a grouch with her around.

They’re not wrong.

Because the truth is, I don’t just want her in my house—I want her in my life, in my bed, in every moment I can steal. And once I finally give in? There’s no turning back.

If you love a grumpy firefighter who sets hearts ablaze and a heroine who makes him burn for more, this story is for you.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

Rating: 5 Groupie Stars

You know that feeling when you read a book and it feels like it’s hugging you !? Well this is one of those reads that just enfold you and leave all warm and fuzzy 🥰 ooooo and the cover art just gets the blood pumping !!

“For learning to give yourself grace “ LOVE THIS ❣️📕


Elsa grew up in Willow Brook Alaska but after her dad passed she and her mom moved away but she’s always longed after it and now she’s home and I love the goats and little Tommy as her welcoming home committee , let’s not forget the delectable Haven 🥰

Haven and his family grew up next to Elsa and her family , her dad was a strange but kind man and they were there fur her when he passed but also in high school they had feelings for each other but neither knew but those feelings are still there …..

Maggie the matriarch of the family is a real honey and has always has a soft spot for our Elsa and I think she fills a bit of the void left by Bree’s death 🤗 so Elsa is living in the little apartment above the farm and settling into the family routine and just blending in with them and it’s so beautiful to watch and be a part of it 🥰

Word of warning Tommy will own your heart along with his goats 🐐

These people have had fair share of heartache and deserve every ounce of happiness that comes their way 🥰 I didn’t want this read to end but now that it has the excitement can build for the next one 🥰📕😉

What to expect:

💜Single Dad x Nanny

💜Forbidden

💜Forced Proximity

💜Billionaire Romance

Blurb:

Billion-dollar CEO and single dad needs a nanny - fast!

When I'm not making waffles for my son Jeremy or teaching him how to swim, I’m running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute. So when the nanny unexpectedly quits, I need a replacement.

Riley is not what I expected. She just graduated law school and wants a summer job before starting her legal career. My son Jeremy instantly likes her—she makes him laugh until his cheeks hurt.

Hell, she makes me feel carefree too, and I haven’t let my guard down ever since Jeremy’s mom left. I’m so attracted to Riley that I can’t even think straight. It’s not just her incredible curves that drive me crazy; I genuinely like her. She’s a lot like me: driven and focused, but also protective of her family, especially her little sister.

But Riley is only with us for the summer. Besides, I’m a single dad with a lot of responsibilities. Holding her back would selfish—falling for her would be reckless. I can’t keep her. She’s young, barely starting her career.

But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore that Riley isn’t just perfect for Jeremy—she’s perfect for me too.

REVIEW

Reviewer: Chelsea

Rating: 5 Groupie Stars

This book follows the story of Duncan Sterling, and his nanny Riley. This definitely fit into the single parent troupe perfectly and I loved every page!!

The Sterling family dynamics are what I expect from a Hagen story, giving the reader plenty of meddling family members, laugh out loud moments and so much love!!

I loved the bond/relationship that Riley forms with Jeremy, Duncan’s son! This couples relationship was so dang perfect to read! I loved them together!! 

As always, One-Click Approved!!!

Welcome to Tennessee Terrors Baseball! Curveball is an Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy-Sunshine, Single Dad, Single Mom, Fake Relationship, Baseball RomCom that will keep you swooning and chuckling out loud.

I kissed him on a dare. Turns out he’s famous. Max Murphy, starting pitcher for the Tennessee Terrors. Oh, and the single father of one of my students. Talk about a curveball. And now it seems I must make nice with the tattooed hottie, no matter how much his surly attitude grates on my nerves.

America’s heartthrob is throwing a pretty good season, and the press is all over us when we’re together—something I have experience with, and ran from long ago. When our accidental touches trigger heart-stuttering moments that are caught on camera, my bad boy offers a solution that just might be a game changer—play along as man and wife.

But pulling off a fake marriage isn’t a walk in the ballpark, and it doesn’t take long before those touches are a whole lot more intentional . . . and the emotions crowding my heart feel a little bit like love.

Some love stories are meant to weather the storm. Others are the storm.

Alex and Magnolia have survived lies, long-distance heartbreak, and the kind of silence that could’ve ruined everything. Now, they’re engaged and finally chasing forever—together.

But love isn’t always smooth sailing.

When Magnolia decides to trade her American roots for a life in Australia, it feels like the beginning of everything they’ve dreamed of. A home. A future. A second chance to build what was almost lost.

Until the past returns—with claws.

Tyson. Celeste. The paparazzi. The shadows they thought they’d outrun come roaring back, threatening not only their peace but their future.

And Alex is done running.

As the final showdown looms, Magnolia and Alex will have to fight harder than ever—for each other, for their privacy, and for the love that was always worth the war.

Because true love doesn’t cower.

It endures.

It defends.

It wins.

The epic conclusion to Alex and Magnolia’s trilogy delivers all the heat, heartbreak, and hard-won happily-ever-after readers have been waiting for.

REVIEW

Reviewer: Tammi

Rating: 5 Groupie Stars

To fully explain how much I love this book we have to back to 2014 when I first read Georgia Cates, Beauty from Pain trilogy. I fell in love with the story, her writing style and all the feelings I had while reading. 

Fast forward to now and she has a "spinoff" trilogy. It was everything the first was I fell in love with her love story style all over again.

This couple was amazing. 

Alex is what dreams are made of a man so in love he would give her the world.

Magnolia has blossomed and grown through this series into an emotionally strong woman.

They truly complete each other.

Its bittersweet to read the last one but my heart is so full I sighed when I read The End.

Perfection!

I’m Elijah Rhodes top-tier Guardian Security agent. We protect the world’s power players: heads of state, royalty, A-listers. The elite. 

I didn’t grow up with much, and nothing came easy. My time in Special Ops hardened me, gave me purpose, and left me with a black heart. I took the missions no one else would. Still do.

My rules are simple:
No long-term assignments.
No repeats.
No attachments.
Keep it professional. Keep it distant.

It’s how I’ve survived. Until her.

Dr. Danielle Sinclair is brilliant, beautiful, off-limits. I protected her, then did what I always do. I walked away.

Now, a year later, tragedy strikes. Dani’s life is in danger, and every instinct in me demands I break my own rules to keep her safe.

Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules were made to be broken.

I’ll protect Dani with my life, but I can’t give her a heart I don’t have.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

REVIEW

Reviewer: Tammi

Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

Great story!!

A second chance at a somewhat forbidden romance.

His job was to protect her did and left after a brief encounter that they shouldn't have had.

Years later he is back to protect but neither forgot and all the feelings are still there. 

I loved watching them fight the attraction until they couldn't.

I loved seeing them gather the info to solve the mystery.

This book was addicting and so hard to put down. Between the love story the suspense story I read wide-eyed from the edge of my seat.

I have been Aleatha'd again!
