Forgotten Romance

by Saxon James

Davey

In a list of what’s most important to me, three things are right up there at the top. My kids, my husband Mack, and my career I’ve spent my life building. Unfortunately that career has me away from home more than I'd like, and when I refuse to walk away from it, my husband walks away from me instead.
Living together post-divorce makes sense for us, but it blurs the lines between what we were and what we have. Now that I’ve scored a big promotion and negotiated twelve long weeks at home, memories of our life together haunt me. They make me long for what we had. And now that Mack is moving on with someone else, I’m being faced with the cold truth. I should never have let Mack go, and now it might be too late to get him back.

Mack

Twelve weeks. It’s the longest Davey has been home since we had the kids, and all it does is remind me of everything I wish I still had. So I decide this is it. I have twelve weeks to remind Davey of everything he lost and hope like hell when I give him the choice between work and me again, that this time he chooses me.
None of my friends are on board with my plan, and the new guy in town is trying his hardest to win me over. But I can ignore cute notes slipped into my favorite books if it means getting back the man I’ll love forever.
All I need to do is remind him our life together was perfect.
Now if only our kids, our friends, and his work would get the memo…

The Unlikely Pair

by Jax Calder

What happens when you find yourself stranded in the wilderness with your political enemy?
Getting stranded in the freezing wilderness with my archenemy wasn’t on today’s to-do list. But somehow, that’s where I’ve ended up.
Harry Matheson, my political rival, has always been smarmy, arrogant, and entitled. It figures that even this plane crash has barely ruffled his well-coiffed hair.

It’s all fine, though, because our pilot has gone to call for help and rescue should be imminent.

Fast forward a few frigid hours…

Umm…maybe it’s not so fine because it appears our pilot is part of an international terrorist group intent on kidnapping us.

Now Harry and I have to flee through the wilderness—together.

Unfortunately, being adept at political debates and parliamentary procedures doesn’t exactly prepare you for the basics of finding food, keeping warm, and evading the local wildlife while playing high-stakes hide-and-seek with armed terrorists.

The only way Harry and I have any hope of surviving is to stick together.

The problem is the line separating hate and love has begun to blur, and the last thing I need is to fall for my enemy.

The Billionaire

by Emerson Beckett & Rheland Richmond

There's a thin line between love and hate, and I hate that I'm still in love with him.
★Austin “Daredevil” Wentworth★

I hate Greer Rowan.

Hate how I feel when he looks at me, hate the way things ended, and I hate that he’s my older brother’s best friend.

I hate how badly I want him, and most of all, I hate that I’m still stupidly in love with him.

And now Greer has hired me to do the impossible with him on an international excursion that I know is going to land us together in his bed. The problem is, I might not hate that.


★Greer Rowan★

I’ve been such a fool.

I had my reasons for doing what I did, and I know I hurt him. Austin may never understand, but I’m going to force him to hear me out. And if pushing all his protector buttons to get him to pretend to be my bodyguard boyfriend at my niece’s wedding won’t do the trick, I’ll dare him to do something else for one reason. That angry man is all I want.

Austin is the love of my life. We’re supposed to be together, and I’ve already spent too many years without him.

Solid Foundation

by Riley Long

A "straight"-forward contractor and a bubbly, very not-straight TV show host find a hidden secret from the past. They say history repeats itself, but Jake and Max deserve a happier ending...

Jake:

I’m a no-nonsense guy. A straight shooter. I have to be. There’s not much choice in the home renovation industry. If you love your job as much as I do and want to keep doing it, you can’t sugar coat things. Some call that grumpy. I call it respecting everyone’s time.

So when my boss tells me my latest project involves being shadowed by a camera crew for a home improvement show, I’m not happy. When the host turns out to be a young, enthusiastic ray of sunshine, I hate it even more.

Who cares if he’s charming and good looking? I’m straight and won’t be swayed by his good looks or his charm. He and his crew can follow me around for a few weeks, and then he’ll be out of my hair and I’ll never have to see him again. Which is what I want. Absolutely.

Max:

The house we’re filming for our new show is a dream. Utterly gorgeous, just like the foreman on the project. Okay, they both have good foundations. Solid structures. The rest? Well, let’s just say they both need a little TLC. But it’s fine. I can work with it. I can work with Jake, even if he’s a bit of a grump. A know-it-all with the tact of a bulldozer. I won’t let that stop me from making my first project as a producer a rousing success.

Then we find a box of letters hidden in the house. Not just any letters–love letters of a… forbidden nature, at least for the time they were written. But they’re romantic, so full of longing and love that I just need to return them to the rightful heirs. The investigation turns into a journey of discovery. Not just for me. Jake has his own awakening. And it could turn out to be the find of a lifetime.

Blood Ties

by Ashlynn Mills

Marcus

Happiness was always something too far out of my reach. I'd get close enough to stare it in the face right before it got ripped away from me. Miguel Jeventino will soon know what that feels like. My pain, my suffering, and all the tears I had shed years ago will all be his. Running a well-known Mexican Cartel is everything to him and once I burn it to the ground, he'll have nothing left but ash. Hate was the only emotion to ever drive passion and strength in me. All love ever did was bring me to my knees. I can't allow myself to fall again. Miguel will die before I let him near my heart.

Miguel

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Mine stopped beating years ago when I thought I lost the man I loved. Our relationship was forbidden, a disgrace to the Jeventino name. With the biggest threat gone, nothing will keep us apart now, not even him. Marcus Castaneda will fight but I will break down his walls until he's begging to love me. Marcus is mine and he will learn the only place to run to is into his Papi's arms. Just a little longer.

Staying Grounded

by J.S. Edge

If his seventeen years of experience has taught Craig Lawton only one thing, it's this:

Life is too damn precious to throw away...

It's like, you know those dreams?

Performing on a stage to a full audience?

When you're in the spotlight, and you look down—

And you realise you're completely naked?

Caught off-guard without a script.

No lines.

No cues.

No curtain-call.

That's me. All the time.

Ever since I was caught out and exposed.

Betrayed. Shamed. Ruined.

By someone I should never have trusted.

I made one reckless mistake; it cost me everything.

My school. My friends. And my freedom.

Mum wouldn't look at me.

Dad took control of me.

I flipped the page and started fresh.

But still, that wasn't enough.

There's nothing I can do now that'd ever be enough.

It's at rock bottom that Sebastian Davis finds me.

I'm his worst nightmare. He's my best hope.

The ground has not been steady beneath my feet for so long...

I've forgotten how it feels.

And no matter his resistance...

Sebastian seems fated to remind me.
