Heartless (Amato Brothers Book 1) by Winter Renshaw

My obsession was born of innocence and good intentions, and it began the day I spotted a handwritten journal lying in the bushes outside a townhouse on Lexington Avenue. It was raining sideways that morning, and my plan was to return it the next day; safe and dry.

Only I kept it.

I kept it, and I read it.

A week later, overwhelmed with curiosity and feeling guilty for harboring secrets that didn’t belong to me, I tried to return it.

Only I wasn’t expecting to meet him.

Unapologetically heartless and enigmatically sexy, he claims he knows nothing about the journal I found outside his place, but the reticent glint in his blue-green gaze tells me otherwise.

There’s something different about him; something damaged yet magical, and I’m drawn to him; pulled into his orbit.

There’s just one problem.

The more I get to know him, the more I’m positive the journal belonged to him . . .

. . . and the more I find myself hoping, selfishly, that I’m wrong.

Fake It For Loveby Weston Parker

My fake date is accidentally the girl I helped on prom night years ago.

How these things happen, I’ll never know.

I just need a fake date for my ex-girlfriend’s wedding.

No way I’m going to it alone. And let her think she got the best of me? Nope.

I’m happier single anyway. I have my company, my billions, and my planes.

But back to the drama…

I hire a girl to help me pretend my love life is put together, but she happens to be a blast from the past.

We never dated, but I was there on prom night when her life fell apart. And being the good guy I am, I let her cry on my shoulder.

But she’s not a girl anymore. And something about her has me wanting to break all the rules and give in.

I’m falling hard, but her? She’s still faking it for love.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Of Mortal Furyby Kathryn Le Veque

When Morgan de Wolfe, commander of Richmond Castle, is called by his liege Caius d’Avignon (Winter of Solace) into the full-fledged world of the Executioner Knights to go deep under cover, a de Wolfe becomes a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing for the sake of William Marshal and his spy ring.

Will a de Wolfe be the greatest Executioner Knight of all?

Morgan de Wolfe, cousin to Edward de Wolfe, Earl of Wolverhampton (and father of William de Wolfe of The Wolfe), finds himself the perfect man for an Executioner Knight’s job. Assuming the identity of a dead man, he makes his way to the Welsh border to infiltrate his way into a castle stolen by a Marshal enemy. His task is to use the dead man’s identity to reclaim the castle.

What he didn’t count on was a woman who could quite possibly ruin his mission.

And possibly even his life.

Amarantha de la Haye’s father assumed control of Mount Grace when King John betrayed the owners and confiscated the castle. Unaware of how, exactly, her father came to command the mighty castle and control its silver mine, Amarantha has lived in peace at Mount Grace, an educated and clever young woman but finds herself a pawn of her ambitious father. When a chance meeting with Morgan sees sparks fly between the two of them, she has no idea that she will be the key to Morgan’s mission… and possibly her own destruction.

The Wolfe fangs are sharpening.

Join Morgan and Amarantha on a complex journey of lies, deceit, betrayal, and ultimately the power of love. Will Morgan obey William Marshal? Or will he obey his heart?

Of Mortal Fury is part of the USA Today bestselling Executioner Knights series.

The Wild Sideby Cassie-Ann L. Miller

That marriage pact I made with my grumpy, off-limits best friend. That was totally a joke…Right?

It was a heat-of-the-moment agreement scribbled onto the back of a crinkled gas station receipt nine years ago.
“If neither of us are married by age 30, we’ll marry each other.”

Haha! So funny!

Cash moved to a city 500 miles away. Building his billion-dollar empire. Making a name for himself.
Me? I stayed in our gossipy hometown.
Working a simple job. Living a simple life.
And we never discussed the marriage pact again.

But I just turned the big three-oh.
And Cash showed up at my door, in the middle of a freaking rainstorm.
Tall, muscled and soaking wet.
With a birthday cake in his hand and a daring smirk that says he means business.

Holy plot twist! Didn’t see that coming!

Now the small town rumor mill is in overdrive.
Cash is dissolving my defences with those sexy half-smiles he saves just for me.
And my brain is exploding with what ifs…

What if we give this a shot?
What if we’re crazy enough to try?
What if we’re good together?

We’ve always been ‘just friends’. We’re experts at playing it safe.
But his skin on my skin leaves me reeling. His oh-so-fiery kisses melt my excuses.
I know our decade-plus friendship is on the line. But I’m aching to see Cash’s wild side.

The Wild Side is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, friends-to-lovers small town romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book one in the Wild Westbrooks Series.
