Can’t Take My Eyes Off Youby Kait Nolan

Exhausted by the futility of her efforts against the city’s endemic problems and the revolving door of violence in her Chicago emergency room, Dr. Miranda Campbell came home to Wishful, where she knew she could make a real difference in people’s lives. Between her clinic, a rotation in the hospital’s ER, volunteer work at the new women’s shelter, and time spent with family and friends, her life is full. But it’s not too full to notice a sexy lawman when she sees one.

Former US Marshal Ethan Greer is still settling into the job as Wishful’s new Chief of Police, but he’s starting to realize it may be years before he’ll ever be considered one of the locals. Fair enough. He’s the first to admit that making the shift to small town policing is a big adjustment. After losing his marriage and almost his life in line of duty, the slow pace of Wishful is a change he’s happy to make.

While Miranda’s and Ethan interest in each other is mutual, he’s not sure about taking on a serious relationship. That’s just fine with her. But when Miranda is targeted in an escalating chain of threatening events, Ethan’s Marshal instincts go on overdrive. Miranda’s rose-colored view of Wishful is putting her in danger. She’s become more than a casual fling or a job responsibility. With Ethan’s training screaming at him to put her in protective custody, can he find out who’s behind the threats before he pushes Miranda away?

Throw Like a Girlby Tina Gallagher

It’ll take the perfect pitch to convince him to give her his heart…

Kenny

I don’t do long-distance romance. Which means getting involved with a player’s sister is out of the question. Penny Montgomery’s life is on the road, and her dreams are bigger than any one town could ever contain. So, I’ll just have to learn to ignore my desperate, hopeless attraction to her.

Easy, right?

Not so much.

Penny

As a pro softball player I’m at the top of my game. My life is practically perfect.

All that’s missing is someone to share it with. Kenny Hanover is the right man for the job. He’s smart, funny, and ridiculously sexy. Too bad he’s also averse to exploring our intense connection. But it shouldn’t be too hard to change his mind, right?

I wish.

Can Penny convince Kenny to give love a chance? Or will his fear of striking out ruin their happily ever after?

Throw Like a Girl is a Carolina Waves novella. It was first published in the Playing to Win anthology. It features a smart, sassy heroine, a hot hero, and friends-to-lovers romance.

BattleWolfeby Kathryn Le Veque

A super-star knight with a de Wolfe pedigree… and the Scottish rose who saves his life.

In the turbulent lands of the English/Scottish border, their love wasn’t meant to last.

… but no one loves as strongly as a de Wolfe.

A knight with a de Wolfe pedigree… as the bastard son of England’s greatest knight, William de Wolfe.

Warwick “War” Herringthorpe was born of a Northumberland de Percy daughter and the Wolfe of the Border, William de Wolfe, back in the days when William was a rising hero, unencumbered by marriage, free to do, and love, whom he so chooses. A brief relationship with Jane de Percy left Jane pregnant and William unaware of the situation. Jane’s father had bigger aspirations for his daughter than a mere knight and quickly married her to a much-older, titled husband who was willing to overlook her indiscretion.

Years later, War has returned to Northumberland as a royal knight, the garrison commander of mighty Bamburgh Castle as Simon de Montfort creates havoc throughout England. Heir to a minor barony, War has made a name for himself as one of Henry’s fiercest knights. In a battle against de Monfort’s loyalists, the garrison at Bamburgh is joined by some of the most powerful families in the north – de Wolfe included.

De Wolfe allies who see Herringthorpe fight, including de Wolfe sons, swear there is a new force to be reckoned with in Northumberland. His gestures, movements, and appearance are reminiscent of a young William de Wolfe.
And the rumors begin.

When War ends up in a battle against opportunistic Scots, he is gravely wounded and crawls from the battlefield to stay clear of deadly Scots. He is saved by a young Scotswoman whom he never expects to see again.

He was wrong.

Upon his mother’s death, War’s true father is revealed, plunging War into a world he doesn’t want to be part of. He learns to resent the Wolfe of the Border, who left his mother when she was pregnant, and so begins War’s intention to meet the greatest knight in England. Perhaps he might even intimidate and dominate him. But there’s only one catch…

The lovely Scotswoman who saved his life happens to be William’s kin.

Join War and Annaleigh as they navigate a romance that is as complex as it is beautiful, where family ties will be tried – and tested – and love is the ultimate glory.

It’s the original de Wolfe Pack in their prime in this story of secrets, redemption, and sacrifice.
