What happens when the man you’d thought could be the one turns out to be your new boss?

Blakely
The moment I met Aston Cage, I knew my life had changed. A single dance later, we’re both all in. Until he ghosted me.
Then my boss fires me for dancing with the enemy.
Three months later, working for the Cages is my last resort. Now I’ll work beside him day by day, trying not to let my feelings take control. It’s heaven and hell. Except I’m starting to think there’s a part of this story I’m missing…

Aston
I made myself walk away from Blakely after my family’s dirty laundry hit the news. My father’s secret family complicates everything. In order to keep our inheritance intact, we’re forced to do monthly dinners with both sides of the family—the brothers I grew up with and the new set of siblings we never knew about.
An additional obstacle: Blakely is my new sister’s best friend.
Meaning the moment I give into temptation, I not only risk the woman I’m falling for, but the family legacy just starting to reveal itself.
But Blakley is worth it. I just have to prove I am as well.

**The Forever Rule is a missed connection, workplace, big city meets small town romance featuring Aston and Blakely. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

The Forever Rule (The Cage Family Book 1) by Carrie Ann Ryan- $.99 for a limited time.

You know those love stories that start with adorable meet cutes? Yeah, that didn’t happen here…

Tenley Taylor needed a way out of town that didn’t leave a paper trail. After all, getting caught by the cops with her bag of stolen diamonds would totally suck.

Enter Knox Wilder.

He was the ideal mark. Fresh-out-of-prison. Easy to manipulate.

So, she was fairly surprised when he kidnapped her.

Or did she kidnap him? The way it all went down was kinda blurry.

Anyhoo, Knox needed a bride to claim his inheritance. And helping him—for a fee—seemed like a great idea.

Which is how she ended up in a fake relationship with a grumpy, rudely sexy ex-con who crossed all the boundaries partners in crime should have. Now, everything is messy, because somehow, she managed to break her golden rule.

She started to like her mark.

Unfortunately, he likes her, too. He says he wants to get to know the real Tenley. But that’d be bad, right?

Especially since she’s not even sure she knows who that is anymore…

Criminals Need Love Too is a fun, light, snarky romantic comedy full of witty banter, wacky hijinks, and spicy times. Download today and get ready to fall for a criminal.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.”—Reese Witherspoon (A Reese’s Book Club Pick)

“The perfect book to get lost in . . . Josie Silver’s characters sneak their way into your heart and stay.”—Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost

Two people. Ten chances. One unforgettable love story.


Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn’t exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there’s a moment of pure magic . . . and then her bus drives away.

Certain they’re fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn’t find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they “reunite” at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie. It’s Jack, the man from the bus. It would be.

What follows for Laurie, Sarah, and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered. One Day in December is a joyous, heartwarming, and immensely moving love story to escape into and a reminder that fate takes inexplicable turns along the route to happiness.

One Day in December: Reese’s Book Club: A Novel by Josie Silver- $2.99 for a limited time.

She came to Alaska searching for answers. She didn’t expect to find him.

Timber Moore uproots her life for a teaching job in the remote town of Port Promise, Alaska—part escape, part mission. The town might be small, but it holds a big secret: the identity of the father she’s never known. Timber’s determined to find the truth… even if it means shaking up a few lives.

Especially his.

Kane Hollister has enough on his plate—raising his daughter, running his boat, and keeping his heart locked down. The last thing he needs is a gorgeous new neighbor with a thousand questions and eyes full of hope. He’s been burned by love before, and he’s not about to risk his little girl’s heart—or his own—again.

But Timber has a way of getting under his skin… and maybe even into his soul.

He’s the guarded single dad. She’s the woman who could change everything.
In a town this small, their secrets won’t stay buried—and neither will their feelings.

Fall in love with a slow-burn, heart-tugging romance where healing is possible, hope is contagious, and love might just be the biggest adventure of all.

Timber Ridge (A Port Promise Novel Book 1) by Kelly Collins- FREE for a limited time.

Version 1.0.0

A GRINCH OF A GOALIE

Nick hates Christmas. Like, really hates it. And the holidays in Chance Rapids are OVER. THE. TOP.

In fact, they even filmed a cheesy holiday movie there.

They do have one good thing going for them—a hockey team. The players are treated like celebrities, and the highlight of the town’s ridiculous Christmas Festival is an outdoor hockey game.

That’s where Nick comes in. His mission: sabotage the game, make some quick cash, and escape this festive nightmare before he’s forced to march in the Santa Claus Parade.

But as he schemes to ruin Christmas, he meets Evie, the kind innkeeper’s daughter. Her warmth starts to melt his icy heart.

Life in Chance Rapids with Evie could be perfect, but there’s no way she will forgive him if he goes through with his plan. Will he choose hockey…or her?

If you like grinchy goalies, horseback riding heroines, small-town dive bars, and rescue pups with floppy ears, you will love The Player Who Stole Christmas. This is a standalone Christmas rom-com that takes place in the Chance Rapids world.

The Player Who Stole Christmas: A Hockey Holiday Romance (A Chance Rapids Christmas Book 2) by A.J. Wynter- FREE for a limited time.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick

“There is so much to relate to and throughout the novel, there is a sharp feminist edge. Loved this one, and you will too.”—New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay

The New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn’t turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own…


When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn’t come as a surprise—or happen in front of 45,000 people.

When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn’t the hard part—they’ve only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans…

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He’s even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik’s social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can’t be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes…

The Proposal: Reese’s Book Club (The Wedding Date 2) by Jasmine Guillory- $1.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

Prince Kostya has his life planned out: obey his father the king, marry an appropriate woman, and ascend the throne. After decades of political turmoil in his tiny country, the least he can do is serve his people well. That means doing what’s expected of him.

Enter Hazel Sung, American hot mess—emphasis on hot. Hazel’s in Kostya’s tiny country for a good time, not a long time. She’s spent the past month backpacking Europe after dropping out of medical school, and she’s ending her tour by spending a month with her ambassador mom.

It’s unfortunate that, at their first formal meeting, she’s in sweats and hasn’t showered in two days. It’s bad that at her welcome banquet, she accidentally drinks too much and has to leave. And when he catches her up on the ramparts one night, it’s completely terrible how much she makes the serious, strait-laced prince laugh.

Kostya shouldn’t even be looking at the ambassador’s daughter, let alone sneaking out of the castle to show her the city. Kissing her goes against every rule he knows, but Hazel makes it so easy to forget. And scaling the castle wall to her bedroom? That could cause an international incident.

But when the crown is at stake, who will Kostya choose-–his country, or the woman he loves?

Reign is a high-heat standalone romance. It’s for fans of princes and commoners, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine stories, and anyone who loves a fairy tale ending. It’s got an ex-military hero who’s a little uptight and a messy, quirky heroine who brings out his soft side. It’s got tons of steamy scenes, lots of spice, and of course there’s an HEA.

Reign: A Royal Romance by Roxie Noir- FREE for a limited time.
