Igniting Andrew (Bad Boys of Sweetwater Book 11) Elizabeth Rose (Author)
★★★RONE Awards Finalist★★★
The fires of passion burn hot, but this firefighter doesn’t want to extinguish the flames.
Andrew Taylor is used to putting out fires, but is not used to the sparks igniting between him and the widow Christina Goldstone. He’s delivered her baby just weeks ago in an emergency situation. In gratitude, she’s named the baby after him. Andrew likes the cute little tyke, and especially the baby’s mother. However, he isn’t ready to settle down and be an instant father, even if it means giving up his inheritance if he stays single. If he were to marry Christina, his younger brother Nate who just married the girl’s mother would be his father-in-law!
Christina is a young widow with a baby and a flower shop to run. She’s moved to Sweetwater to start a new life, but no one told her it was going to be so challenging. As she tries to juggle the responsibilities, she can’t keep her eyes off the handsome firefighter across the town square. Andrew is great with the baby, but when it comes to her it is a different story. He’s sworn to bachelorhood, but at the same time can’t stop telling her how to raise her baby.
Can a woman who is trying to plan her future, ignite the flames of passion in a man who only wants to live for the day and focus on his job? And will a burning desire between them eventually be so hot that not even the most skilled of firefighters would dare try to put out the flames?
Sons of a preacher but far from saints. These men are nothing but trouble.
Forbidden Bride: Marco (Forbidden Series Book 1) by Stella Gray
I was promised to a man my uncle chose… but I ran away with the enemy.
In this valley, my family name means something.
To some, protection. To others, destruction.
When a Bellanti stole my heart, he started a war.
A ring on my finger put a target on his back.
I hardly know the man I threw my life away for.
He looked like I imagined Mr. Darcy would.
He wrote me poetry.
But he’s locked me away exactly the way my uncle had.
Choosing him was my last taste of freedom.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire…
He will burn me alive either way.

Charming a Texas Beast (Kingman Ranch Book 1)
Once upon a time in Texas . . . there was a ranch with a castle. In this castle lived a beast, a sleeping beauty, a big bad wolf, a Cinderella, and a lost prince. But these are no fairytale characters. These wild cowboys and cowgirls are about to raise some Texas hell on the way to their happily ever afters.
The Beauty: Growing up, Lily Daltry was the shy, introverted gardener’s daughter who had nothing in common with the five siblings who lived in the fairytale castle on Kingman Ranch. Especially Stetson, a bullying tormenter in a cowboy hat who enjoyed making her life miserable. Her only reprieve was spending time in the garden with her beloved mother. After her mother passes away, Lily leaves for England where she becomes a children’s book author and strives to get over her grief. But when her father gets injured, Lily must return to the Kingman Ranch and face the sad memories of her mother . . . and the bullying brute of her past. Stetson now runs the ranch and has no desire for Lily to be his guest. Can she tame the cowboy beast . . . or will she be devoured?
The Beast: The last thing Stetson Kingman needs is to stumble upon a bookish beauty from his past wandering the halls of Buckinghorse Palace. He has enough to worry about with four younger siblings, running a huge horse and cattle spread, and trying to figure out who has it out for the Kingmans and is sabotaging the ranch. Lily should’ve stayed in England where she belonged instead of dredging up the secret Stetson has kept buried deep inside. Just seeing her floods him with dark memories . . . and dammit, desire. When his two randy younger brothers get all cow-eyed over Lily, there’s nothing he can do but claim “first dibs” so they won’t get tangled up with a Daltry woman like their daddy did. Unfortunately, Stetson is the one who gets all tangled up. The fake kisses don’t feel so fake. The sweet caresses much more than a lie.
When the dark secret is revealed, and the saboteur deals a deadly blow, can Stetson and Lily put the past behind them in time to make their fairytale dreams come true?
Or is a storybook ending impossible on the wild Texas prairie?
Pucks fly when a Ukrainian hockey god tries to shoot around the ‘no-fraternization’ policy with the new social media manager for the team. Twitter is about to explode in this steamy hockey love story!!
“That ‘no-fraternization’ policy is about to get broken.”
-Evan Kazmeirowicz, VEGAS CRUSH
Definitely the goal in mind for the star winger and team captain of the Vegas Crush the day he lays eyes on the new social media manager for the team.
But for Holly Laurent, it’s something more along the lines of: never-ever-gonna-happen-Mr.-Hottie-McHockeypants.
Dating a “player” is a risky business, especially if she wants to keep the job she just landed with the hottest team in the NHL.
Holly loves her independence and her career. She’s doing just fine on her own, thank you very much. Allowing her head to be turned by a hot hockey player and putting her job at risk?
Not. Happening. Ever.
Not even if he looks like a god.
Not even if he possesses enough charm to tempt the panties from a nun.
Not even if she has to cross her fingers behind her back every time she tells him she’s not interested.
Policies exist for a reason. Rules are not meant to be broken and sexy players are not to be trusted.
Right?
**CRUSHED can be read as a complete standalone sports romance. Each book in the Vegas Crush series is about a different couple.
Matt (Army Rangers Special Ops Book 3)
Matt Grey excels at many things, but relationships aren’t one of them. As a former Army Ranger Special Ops team member and current attorney, he has enough tools in his arsenal to get through almost anything, except heartache after the only woman he ever loved leaves him.
Lara West has seen it all. As a tough-as-nails journalist, she made it her mission to expose the world’s atrocities and make sure the world knew what the US government didn’t want them to know. Her life had purpose. Her heart was full. She had the man of her dreams… until she received evidence that Matt wasn’t the man she thought he was. She turned her heartache into action and now devotes her life going undercover in dangerous places to share the plight of those who are abused, malnourished, and mistreated.
When Lara finds herself in the crosshairs of a fight she can’t win alone, Matt, who now works for a private security agency made up of other former Army Special Ops Rangers, must come to the rescue. With everything on the line, will these former lovers work together to save themselves or will their past come back to haunt them?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
