A swoon-worthy romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

A broody ex-military operative meets his match in a brainy heroine.

Gage Hamilton. Smoldering, grumpy, and single. Entirely uninterested in romance. His smart, hot neighbor is definitely not part of his plans.

Marley Adams is way too distracting. As an ex-military operative, Gage’s control never slips. Yet, control has fled the building with Marley. He’s desperate for a taste of her. Just once and that might be enough.

The last thing on Marley’s mind is romance. She’s returned home to Alaska to escape. Yet, the past comes knocking and puts her safety at risk.

Gage finds he’ll do anything to protect her. He never considered his own heart might be at risk.

A brooding hero meets his match in this swoon-worthy, small town holiday romance!

*A full-length standalone romance.

Take Me Home (The Lodge Series Novels Book 1) by J.H. Croix- FREE for a limited time.

Amazon

Some secrets are worth hiding. Some are worth risking everything to reveal.

I came to Haven Island to disappear. New name, new identity, new life. The isolation is a small price to pay for keeping my family safe.

Then Logan steps into my world—Haven’s police chief with perceptive eyes that see too much. He’s recovering from his own wounds, but there’s something undeniably protective about him that draws me in despite every instinct screaming to keep my distance.

He shares his past freely. His failed marriage. His disillusionment. His journey toward redemption.

I share nothing but carefully crafted lies.

With each sunrise we spend together, I fall deeper. With each touch, I risk more. Logan swore to uphold the law, while I’m living outside it. When my past finally catches up to me, I’ll face an impossible choice—trust the man I’m falling for with the truth that could destroy us both, or lose the first real chance at love I’ve ever had.

The Haven Island series concludes with a protective police chief, a woman with dangerous secrets, and the healing power of trust. A standalone romantic suspense novel set on the shores of North Carolina, where people find shelter in their darkest hours.

First Light is a standalone steamy contemporary romance. The Haven Island Series can be read in any order; you do not need to read any of the other books in the series to enjoy First Light.

The thrilling second book in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s amazing new high concept series, The Scandalous Ladies of London, which chronicles the lives of a group of affluent ladies reigning over glittering, Regency-era London, vying for position in the hierarchy of the ton. They are the young wives, widows, and daughters of London’s wealthiest families. The drama is big, the money runs deep, and the shade is real. Life is different in the ton.

“I liked my husband well enough … but I like him even better dead.”

It’s been a year since her wretched cad of a husband died and Valencia, the Dowager Duchess of Dedham, is finally her own woman. Flitting from party to party, freedom is sweet and life should be perfect. Until the new duke surfaces. 

Nothing like the haughty noblemen who populate the ton, Rhain, the newly minted Duke of Dedham, is a big brawny Welshman with an accent that makes Valencia’s knees go weak as he boldly moves into her home with his six wild unwed sisters. The rude and humorless usurper thinks her vain and spoiled. But with a pittance to her name, Valencia needs his support to remain in London and enjoy all the pleasures her new position as a merry widow has to offer. 

So a bargain is struck. Valencia will usher his sisters into Good Society and see them happily betrothed. In return, he’ll give her the financial security and independence she craves. But the more time they spend beneath the same roof, the more she realizes it’s not safety she wants but the dangerously seductive Rhain. Valencia has vowed never to risk marriage again. And yet how can she resist the tempting man when he might be the greatest adventure of her life?  

The Duchess: A Captivating Regency Romance Novel of Love, Power, and Redemption (The Scandalous Ladies of London Book 2) by Sophie Jordan- $1.99 for a limited time.

Alicia Lindsay, the dowager Countess Lindsay, has spent her life under the dominion of men– leered at yes, but ultimately silenced and cast aside. But widowhood has granted her the freedom to voice her critiques against injustices in articles that have enraptured the nation. Resolved to bring about political change, Alicia’s investigation of the newest party candidates leads her to the captivating, hardheaded Lord Inverray. She’s unprepared when he proves to be not only charming but chivalrous when a slight wardrobe malfunction–with all eyes of the ton upon them–forces her to accept his proposal. Now she’s keeping a huge secret from her soon-to-be-husband.

Niall Campbell, Marquess of Inverray, has spent years finding support for numerous legislations to help his fellow Scots. Now poised to grasp the party leadership, his success has been threatened by anonymous articles critiquing his campaign. Niall vows to find the author and silence them, no matter the cost. But when he finds himself engaged to an alluring widow with a sharp tongue, his plans get derailed in more ways than one…

Each book in the Once Upon A Scandal series is STANDALONE:
* To Love a Scandalous Duke
* To Resist a Scandalous Rogue
* To Tame a Scandalous Lady
* To Tempt a Scandalous Lord

To Tempt a Scandalous Lord (Once Upon A Scandal Book 4) by Liana De la Rosa- $.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

Fated mates, forbidden romance, and enemies to lovers collide in this magic-packed fantasy romance inspired by Hades & Persephone.

My fated mates are my enemies.

I’m a villain. The fae princess who kills on command. I have no choice in using my twisted magic against the dark queen’s enemies, but that doesn’t make me any less of a monster.

My power is a death sentence for anyone who earns the queen’s wrath, but there’s one person who’s managed to elude her. The Sapphire Knight.

The rebel leader is wicked and cunning, and no one knows his identity—or his inner circle. Searching for him has become my obsession. A sweet distraction from everything I’ve done.

Then I find him. And I’m drawn to the Knight in ways I can’t explain—and equally pulled to the fae prince locked in the queen’s dungeons, and the kind rebel shifter.

Lucky me, I have three mates, and they’re all wanted men.

If the queen discovers the truth, we’re all dead.

Blood and Ash and Throne of Glass readers will devour this fated mates, enemies to lovers fantasy romance series inspired by Hades, Persephone, and Greek mythology. Maia’s mates are added with each book, and the steam builds in each.

Heir of Ruin: An Enemies to Lovers Fantasy Romance (Fae of The Saintlands Book 1) by Leigh Kelsey- FREE for a limited time.
