LIVE!! FAKE DATING THE GRUMPY BILLIONAIRE!

“…Fake dating a gorgeous, grumpy billionaire was meant to save my job, not make me lose my heart….

I’m days away from losing my job as a journalist when my editor offers me one last chance to save my career. When the opportunity to go undercover and investigate the richest man in Whisper Cove comes along, I take it.

What I don’t expect is that the infuriatingly hot stranger who stole my cupcake at my favorite bakery is the elusive billionaire, Hunter Waverly. When he catches me snooping in the library moments before a family heirloom goes missing, I become suspect number one.

His solution: play the role of his girlfriend, or he will call the cops…”

LIVE!! SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE!!

“…I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him. Heart-stoppingly handsome. Totally forbidden. Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special. He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought …

Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and it’s so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But it’s the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared.

It’s magic when we’re together again…”

LIVE!! THE LATEST BY MARIE FORCE!! AN ATTORNEY PROTECTING HIS SIBLINGS… & THE WOMAN ON THE RUN FROM ABUSE

“…After their parents dragged him and his siblings through an ugly, protracted custody battle, the last thing any of them wants is to put themselves in such a vulnerable position. No, their plan is to stay single and live on their own terms, answerable to no one as they spend their days dealing with some of society’s most difficult challenges. The minute he finishes up at the office, Julian heads out to play a gig with his band or to work out his stress at Club Quantum. Life is good, and he wouldn’t change a thing.

When a close friend asks Julian to help her sister, who’s on the run from a violent marriage, he quickly finds himself ensnared in a trap he never saw coming until it’s much too late to turn back…”

LIVE!! HE HIRES HER DESPITE EVERYONE’S WARNINGS…

“…Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control. That’s who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and we’re growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley.

Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because she’s insanely gorgeous.

She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving. But Kinley isn’t the woman the headlines painted…”

LIVE!! BETRAYAL & REDEMPTION!!

“…One love. One betrayal. One last chance to put the pieces back together.

Gracie learned early on that love never comes easy, but Braxton challenges that truth when he stumbles into her life. He carefully dismantles the walls she’s built around her heart, and she lets him, convinced he is worth the risk.

Braxton knows at first glance that Gracie is his—the person who will become his everything. They begin building a life together, based on trust, loyalty, and love.

Until the past rears its head. Gracie watches on as Braxton makes a choice that throws their life into turmoil, leaving her devastated by the betrayal. She walks away, and he is faced with one last decision…”

KRISTIN HANNAH SUPER-SALE!! HIS WIFE IS IN A COMA & HE FINDS OUT SHE USED TO BE MARRIED TO A MOVIE STAR!!

PSYCH-THRILLER SUPER-BARGAIN! BLURB JOLT!!

“…She has everything to lose…

Opening the door, I kiss my handsome man and smile as the children run into the home I’ve spent all day making perfect. I still can’t believe that I’m living in this warm, safe place that’s filled with laughter. But I’m always looking over my shoulder because I know that my gorgeous family could be taken away from me in a heartbeat.

Because one woman has every reason to try and destroy me. She’s watching and waiting for me to mess up. But I know what it’s like to have nothing and I’m determined not to let anyone come between me and the dream life I’ve worked so hard for.

Even if this family belonged to her first…”

THE ATTORNEY & THE WOMAN ON THE RUN FROM HER ABUSIVE HUSBAND…

The minute he finishes up at the office, Julian heads out to play a gig with his band or to work out his stress at Club Quantum. Life is good, and he wouldn’t change a thing.

When a close friend asks Julian to help her sister, who’s on the run from a violent marriage, he quickly finds himself ensnared in a trap he never saw coming until it’s much too late to turn back…”

…Filled with family drama, later-in-life romance, beachfront sunshine, and the kind of emotional twists that only a summer in Destin can bring, The Summer We Let Go is a heartfelt continuation of The Destin Diaries, where every chapter is filled with love, laughter, and the promise of new beginnings.”
