First and Goal (Moving the Chains Book 1)by Kata Čuić

Real life doesn’t come with a playbook.

Eva Papageorgiou has one goal–to make it through her senior year of high school unseen and unscathed. When her strategy to stay out of the limelight is derailed by rampant rumors, she’s forced to change tactics. Her new game plan is to keep everyone at arm’s length. Especially boys. So when she’s partnered up in class with the hot as hell varsity quarterback, she pushes and pushes.

Until he pushes back.

Rob Falls just wants to fit in. With his teammates, with his friends, with everyone. His image as the quintessential jock makes him feel like a fraud. Especially since it’s the only reason all the girls at school want him, except the one girl he dreams about. She wants nothing to do with him. When he’s forced to tutor the class pariah, he realizes it’s time to get in the game instead of standing on the sidelines.

She’s going to help him get exactly what he wants, whether she knows it or not.

With this Pledge (The Carnton Series Book 1)by Tamera Alexander

From the pages of history and accounts of those who endured the Battle of Franklin, Tamera Alexander weaves real-life love letters into a story of unlikely romance first kindled amid the shadows of the Civil War. 
   
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Clouston’s quietly held principles oppose those of the Southern Cause–but when forty thousand soldiers converge on the fields of Franklin, Tennessee, the war demands an answer. The Carnton home where she is governess is converted into a Confederate field hospital, and Lizzie is called upon to assist the military doctor with surgeries that determine life or death. Faced with the unimaginable, she must summon fortitude, even as she fears for the life of Towny, her fiancé and lifelong friend.
  
As a young soldier lies dying in Lizzie’s arms, she vows to relay his final words to his mother, but knows little more than the boy’s first name. That same night, decorated Mississippi sharpshooter Captain Roland Ward Jones extracts a different promise from Lizzie: that she intervene should the surgeon decide to amputate his leg.
  
Lizzie is nothing if not a woman of her word, earning the soldiers’ respect as she tends to the wounded within Carnton’s walls. None is more admiring than Captain Jones, who doesn’t realize she is pledged to another. But as Lizzie’s heart softens toward the Confederate captain, she discovers that his moral ground is at odds with her own. Now torn between love, principles, and promises made, she struggles to be true to her heart while standing for what she knows is right–no matter the cost.
 
From the pages of history and the personal accounts of those who endured the Battle of Franklin, Tamera Alexander weaves the real-life love letters between Captain Roland Ward Jones and Miss Elizabeth Clouston into a story of unlikely romance first kindled amid the shadows of war.
 
This historical novel is a standalone, though it can be read as part of Tamera Alexander’s series, the Carnton Novels.

My Second Chance Secret Babyby C. Morgan

It’s no secret that every woman wants me.

Charming, wealthy, and I have an empire for my legacy.

Unfortunately for most, I’m not the family kind of man.

You might call me a lone wolf. The guy who stands alone and loves it.

Late nights, good booze, and a hot woman on my arm are all I’m after.

Until a hot number from my past resurfaces.

She used to be the one I dreamt of growing old with, back when I wasted my time on hope, dreams, and the lies they offer.

Crazy enough, the chemistry between us is off the charts.

It’s been a long time since a woman has left my heart racing, my hands sweaty, and my body aching for a simple touch.

So I do what any gentleman might do to get around a lady he’s interested in–I offer her a job.

But something’s off. She’s got a little girl, and the angel looks a little too much like my side of the family.

Surely not.

I’m not looking for a long-term relationship, just a rekindling between the sheets.

Or so I tell myself. When the nagging truth is that maybe this is my second chance with the only girl I’ve ever loved.

Not sure if fate is offering me a dream or a nightmare, but either way, I’m taking it.

This woman is mine.

Tommy’s Babyby Annie J. Rose

Tommy O’Shea. The love of my life. The one that got away.
Correction, the one I let get away.

Now, a decade later, it’s still the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.
Even bigger than the one that’s got me on the run for my life.
I need to get out of town, change my name, start over. But where?
Then a picture in a magazine draws me in.
It’s him. My Tommy. He’s living and thriving in paradise.
What if he still hates me? Or worse – what if he’s forgotten me?
As sick as the thought makes me, I know I have to go.
My next steps sound like the plot of a bad movie.
I check into a seedy motel, I get a job at his pub, I try to pretend like we can be just friends.
Have I gone crazy in the middle of all my madness?
We find some semblance of happiness together once again,
But I know it can’t last. Not when a man shows up looking for me.
I won’t put Tommy in danger. I’d rather break his heart all over again.
But when I try to run again, everything goes wrong, and Tommy is the only one who can save me.

Will he find me in time, or have we said our final goodbye?

Lady Ballsby Liz Crowe

Thanks to a soccer-career-ending accident, Kayla Franklin has given up on everything she ever worked for or wanted from life. She’s been avoiding her family, living in a crappy apartment with her best friend, and slinging overpriced drinks ever since. When TV executive J.D. Baxter crashes into the bar, and her life, she’s already determined that rock bottom is her destiny.

Retired NFL quarterback and semi-pro bachelor J.D. Baxter used his millions to found a unique sports station–one run entirely by women. When he decides that retired player Makayla Franklin will make the perfect subject for a new documentary, he pays a visit to the dive bar where she works, only to have his world knocked way off its axis.

Kayla agrees to his documentary proposal, and attempts not to fall for the playboy athlete who’s populated his TV station with plenty of women from his past. When he asks her to pose as his fiancée, things get hilarious, then interesting … and then smoking hot.
