Cynda and the City Doctor: 50 Loving States, Missouri (QUARANTALES Book 1)by Theodora Taylor

You’re fired.

When my father died and my stepmother cut out, leaving me with two stepsiblings to raise, I figured that would be the biggest surprise of my life. But then the pandemic hit, and my big city ex showed up in my small Missouri town to take over my father’s practice.

What’s the first thing he says to me after three years?

“You’re fired.”

Sooooo…it looks like he totally didn’t appreciate the way things ended between us, and now he won’t settle for anything less than cold, hard revenge.

But as it turns out, I’m the only person in our small town with a rental unit available. And without a job, I’m desperate for a renter.

So now the extremely bitter ex who fired me is living in my backhouse. Way, way closer than I want him to be.

But everything will be fine. I hate him, and he hates me. So nothing’s going to happen between us, right?

Right?

The first story in the QUARANTALES series is one steamy romance. Perfect for those who love forced proximity, bitter exes, and second chances that can’t be denied.

READER NOTE: The QUARANTALES series starts off steamy and gets hotter with each read before its sweet finale. So make sure to check out all of the stories in this ultra-modern, special quarantine take on some of your favorite fairytales:

The Millionaire’s Wish (The Landry’s Book 1)by Abigail Strom

It was the easiest deal in the world. All Allison Landry had to do was date software CEO Rick Hunter for a few months. In return, he’d help fund her financially strapped charity. How could a woman refuse? Especially when he came wrapped up in the most gorgeous masculine package Allison had ever seen.

Footloose bachelor Rick had a reputation to uphold–but continuing his playboy ways meant losing the only home he’d ever known. Which made Allison so perfect–after all, neither of them was looking for a permanent relationship. Yet the beguiling good girl was soon making him dream about forever after–and Rick knew he’d do whatever it took to seal this deal with a kiss….

Whiskey Chaser (Bootleg Springs Book 1)by Lucy Score

“I’m afraid my vagina might turn itself inside out if you try to give it another orgasm so soon.” — Scarlett Bodine

Raised by her three overbearing brothers, Scarlett is a hell-raising tomboy with a tool belt. A tornado stirring up trouble everywhere she goes. Her favorite pastimes? Drinking any man under the table and two-stepping. But she has zero interest in love. Scarlett’s only being neighborly when she claims her sexy next-door neighbor as her new pet project.

Devlin is a man at rock bottom. Marriage, political career, five-year plan to Washington, D.C. All destroyed with one well-placed jab. The golden boy is now the black sheep relegated to Bootleg Springs, a tiny West Virginia town with two claims to fame: 1. Moonshine and 2. The cold case disappearance of a teen girl.

Devlin just wants to lick his wounds. But Scarlett has other ideas for his tongue… and the rest of him. She’s determined to bring him back to life, even if getting him back on his feet means never seeing him again. But when an old mystery becomes new news, she’ll need his help to survive the scandal.

Read Between the Linesby Ali Parker

Talented. Successful. Wealthy.

That’s me, and I look damn good in a three-piece suit or in nothing at all.

Nudity is my jam.

I’m an artist and my favorite inspiration is the female figure. Curvy. Beautiful. Lush.

My life is perfect. Fast cars. Big luxurious home.

And we’re opening more galleries across the country.

The only thing I don’t have is inconsequential: love.

Then a beautiful curvy woman shows up on my gallery floor and her wise ways and sexy sway make me think differently.

Maybe the life I have isn’t what I want after all.

I thought I knew what living was, but after her, I’m not so sure.

She’s challenging. Fickle. Flighty.

She wants to travel abroad and she never saw a man like me fitting into her life. Poor thing doesn’t know what she’s missing.

She’s mine. Period. Now I just need to be subtle, cool, collected.

And she needs to read between the lines.
