A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!
We got married in Vegas after only one night. I’m in love with her, and she doesn’t even know it.
Rosie
Wyatt Cannon is all that and then some. Hotshot firefighter, seriously easy on the eyes and knows his way around… well, me. We had a fling a few years ago and no one knows. I never meant for anything to happen again. But I never could back down from a dare. I woke up married. I’d like to pretend I don’t remember that night, but it’s burned into my body, heart and soul.
Wyatt is impossible to forget. I should be figuring out how to get divorced, but he asks me to give us a chance instead. My life is beyond messy and he’s just making it more complicated. I don’t want to need anyone, and I don’t believe in love.
Except Wyatt makes me want it all.
Wyatt & Rosie’s story is perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, he falls first, billionaire hero, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a grumpy, protective hero who bares his heart to win over the woman he loves.

Julian Leblanc's story is a sizzling fake relationship romance set in the heart of New Orleans.She’s too damn hot, but also rude and unprofessional... yet that doesn’t stop me from becoming her fake boyfriend.
I pride myself on never doubting my decisions. It’s why my business runs so smoothly. But when a disgruntled supplier tracks me down, and I discover that she lost business because of me, I’m determined to make things right.
First step—I invite Georgie to a Mardi Gras party, to wave the proverbial white flag. Only her asshole of an ex shows up, insulting her. All my protective instincts kick in and I kiss her on the spot. That shuts him up. The only problem is, once I have a taste, I crave more.
So I proposition to be her fake boyfriend. My excuse? I’ll help her get her clients back by taking her to elite parties around New Orleans. But this fake dating becomes addictive. Suddenly a kiss is not enough; a touch is only the beginning and Georgie is captivating me in a way no one ever did.
Then one evening at midnight, all masks come off. And so do our reasons for pretending.
I desperately want her, but I’m not the settle-down-type-of-guy, and Georgie deserves that. With her, I’ve become the man I never thought I ever could be. Our passion is real. But can it be more?
With the second book in the Leblanc Brothers series, we head back to New Orleans to see Julian meet his match.
Georgie and her family have been in charge of Julian’s company’s Mardi Gras floats for years, and in New Orleans Mardi Gras floats are a BIG deal. When Julian makes a change to who’s in charge of the float, Georgie is understandably pissed. Since that meant the rest of the businesses they were set to work with, pulled their business. After Julian gets his ass chewed by Georgie, he’s determined to help her get the rest of her clients back.
I loved getting to fall back in love with the world Layla Hagen created in book one. The banter between these two was on fire and I loved how their relationship grew a throughout the book! The Grans were still meddling and dang it brought the hilarity!
The epilogue was chefs kiss and made me even more excited for Xander’s story!!
Meet Layla Hagen:
My name is Layla Hagen and I am a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance. I fell in love with books when I was nine years old, and my love affair with stories continues even now, many years later. I write romantic stories and can’t wait to share them with the world. And I drink coffee.
Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.
That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.
It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.
Chad
The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.
Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.
Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.
Just as I was hoping after book 1, we get Chads story!!! I have always loved a military love story, add in the friends to lovers aspect and lord I was even more hooked!!
All the emotions these two go through when they are long distance were so powerfully written that the reader can feel them too!!
I really can’t rave enough about these authors and the stories they wrote together. I devour them in one sitting typically. I can’t wait for more from this amazing duo!!

With nearly fifty romance books under her belt, she’s known for penning happily ever afters with heart. When she's not writing, you can find her with a book in her hand or hanging out with her family where she resides in her home state of Ohio.
USA Today Bestselling Author Lacey Black is a Midwestern girl with a passion for reading, writing, and shopping. She carries her e-reader with her everywhere she goes so she never misses an opportunity to read a few pages. Always looking for a happily ever after, Lacey is passionate about contemporary romance novels and enjoys it further when you mix in a little suspense. She resides in a small town in Illinois with her husband, two children, and three rowdy chickens.
I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.
The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.
Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.
Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.
Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?
Damn this book almost wrecked me! Roman and Elora are both dealing with so much grief when they meet in a small costal town.
These two go on a journey together, sparked by Elora wanting to spread her mother’s ashes. The reader goes on this journey with them and dang it had me in tears at times.
I fell so dang hard for these two characters and was so sad when this book came to an end.
100% recommend!!
AUTHOR BIO
Aurora Rose Reynolds is a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose wildly popular series include Until, Until Him, Until Her, Underground Kings, Shooting Stars, Fluke My Life and How to Catch an Alpha series.
Her writing career started in an attempt to get the outrageously alpha men who resided in her head to leave her alone and has blossomed into an opportunity to share her stories with readers all over the world.
The place she should have felt safest was a nightmare turned reality for Josie Day. Each day that passes gets worse and worse. And it’s been that way her entire life.
But she refuses to be a statistic, so she comes up with a plan to get out.
Huck Davidson immediately recognizes the signs when a chance encounter puts him face-to-face with Josie for the first time in years. He pleads with her to let him help, and she agrees.
Sadly, before she can escape, things take a horrific turn.
Fortunately, Huck answers Josie's call for help. He’s more than prepared to mend her wounds and give her the life and love she was always meant to have.
So, I think I found my new favorite book in the Harper Security Ops series (and yes, I have read every single one). This is the 16th book in this series by AK Evans, featuring Huck and Josie.
Escape is a heart-breaking, second chance, slow burn romance. Complete with the swoony protective hero, this romantic suspense starts when our MCs meet in high school. The first few chapters show us the foundation for our story. Josie’s life in high school was a nightmare until she was paired with partner for a project. She found friendship, safety, and solace in Huck, until they parted ways after graduation.
Their reunification, which occurs years after they parted ways, is fraught with complications. The relationship blossoms from the complications though is beautiful. The emotions bottled up in this story are heavy, but it is truly a satisfying read.
I don't want to give away too much of the story, however I do want to note, even though there are no trigger warnings accompanying this book, DV is depicted in several scenes. One scene in particular is slightly more graphic and is honestly gut wrenching to read. It adds the heaviness that this kind of story carries, but also shows the healing that can take place after.
A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
Capo to the Luciano Famiglia was my birthright. The cruelty needed to succeed in this life has been beaten into me since I was a young boy. My father, Vincent Luciano, taught by example and with the slap of his hand. My independent streak took me down paths my father would never have gone. With our enemies gaining strength, it is my idea to attempt an alliance with an unlikely bedfellow. The Roríguez Cartel and the Luciano Famiglia are improbable partners, yet even Vincent Luciano can’t deny the possible benefits. The only way to solidify the deal is for me to marry Catalina Ruiz, the eldest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez Cartel. Catalina is young, beautiful, and thinks she understands the path she is being forced to follow. There is no way for her to know the monster she is about to wed. A man doesn’t become a made man at thirteen if he is capable of love. That emotion is beyond my scope of expertise. Saving the famiglia is my goal. And once this alliance is made, ours will be but the first of the brutal vows exchanged.
