Home Town Advantage: A Football and Basketball Romantic Comedy (Fourth Quarter Fever Book 1) by AK Landow <— LIVE!! FOOTBALL STAR ROMANCE!! “...I’m the reluctant star of women’s professional basketball. The darling of sports media. The golden girl of my new hometown, Philadelphia. Despite appearing as though I have a charmed life, things are not always as they seem. I’m still grieving the loss of my brother and his lifelong best friend’s betrayal. Throw in some vindictive basketball opponents and an overzealous fan, and I feel like I’m constantly on edge. Did I mention that my brother’s best friend is Vance McCaffrey, the star quarterback for the Philly Camels?…”

Wild Then Wed by Tierra Stockham <— LIVE!! SMALL TOWN WESTERN ROMANCE “…They married to save the land. They didn’t mean to fall in love on it. Wren Wilding is a horse trainer who knows how to keep her heart fenced in. Sawyer Hart is the city’s quietly brooding veterinarian with a tragic past he doesn’t talk about. Their families have been rivals for decades—neighbors in name, strangers in every other way. When a new county water regulation threatens both ranches, Wren and Sawyer agree to a marriage of convenience. One year. No strings. Absolutely no feelings. But living under the same roof makes it harder to ignore the quiet pull between them...”

Bitten by Desire (Crooked Point Book 1) by Ivy Smoak <— LIVE!! VAMPIRE ROMANCE!! “...I still can’t forget him. His golden eyes. The sinful things he whispered in my ear. The mark he’d left on the side of my neck. No man since has compared to him. But I’ll never see him again. He disappeared without a trace. But when I run into a man who looks just like him on Main Street? I can’t let it go. It’s him, I know it’s him. And I’m going to prove it. I’ll do anything to feel his hands on me again…”

Sweetest Sin: a secret baby, dark romance (Tempting Love Book 1) by Nikki Ash <— LIVE!! THE ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT “…for a moment, I allow myself to imagine what it would be like if our temporary arrangement turned into forever. Until a call in the middle of the night pulls me back to reality, reminding me that with the enemies I have, letting her get too close would make her my greatest weakness—one I can’t afford. Four years later, fate intervenes. Because she’s back, serving drinks on my private flight, and she’s apparently been keeping secrets. With one phone call, I learn she’s been raising my son while pretending I don’t exist. Now, with my enemies closing in and our secret out, they’re both in danger, and I’m done playing this game her way...”

Lovesick by Celeste Briars <— LIVE!! THE HOCKEY STAR & THE DANCER!! “...Dancer and self-proclaimed perfectionist, Merit Lawson, has spent her whole life appeasing others, including walking away from a promising dance career. After she collapses following a heart-related incident at her old college, her helicopter parents relocate her back home to snowy Minnesota—where hockey is a religion, and the players are gods. Merit wants one last night of freedom before she’s thrown into a maelstrom of inflated egos and bad decisions, even if that means becoming a hookup culture statistic...”

Knox: A MM Single Dad Sports Romance (Comeback Duet Book 2) by Kimberly Knight & Rachel Lyn Adams <— LIVE!! M/M BASEBALL ROMANCE “…From USA Today bestselling authors Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lyn Adams comes the heartfelt conclusion to the Comeback Duet. Knox delivers a steamy, found-family MM baseball romance where love in the spotlight collides with family tensions and an injury that could cost them everything. Being with Crew is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Even better than getting called up to the majors. We may have started as a fling, but he’s my end game, the part of everything I want beyond baseball. There’s another guy in his life now...”
