Always and Foreverby Julia Jarrett

When I left Dogwood Cove eighteen years ago, Ethan Monroe was nothing more than my best friend’s older brother. Now he’s the missing piece that puts my wounded heart back together.

Over that time he went from the boy who played hide and seek with us, to the seriously hot, plaid-wearing, scruff-bearing, mayor of the small town we grew up in.

But I’m only back to figure out what to do with the run-down beachfront resort my estranged father left me in his will.

Not to be swept off my feet and fall in love.

The resort needs a lot of work and Ethan wants to help me restore it. He makes a tool belt look good and watching his muscles lift heavy loads is giving me ideas that go way beyond just friends. And if the heated, lingering looks he sends my way are any indication, the attraction goes both ways.

Except I’ve got trust issues that can’t be repaired with a hammer and some nails, and Ethan has his own secrets he’s hiding.

Still, coming home could be the start of the life I’ve always dreamed of. And Ethan could be the love I never expected to find.

Always and Forever is perfect for fans of steamy small town romance, found family friend groups, cinnamon roll heroes, plenty of swoon, light hearted banter, quirky small town vibes, low angst and high heat love stories with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone, and the first full length novel in the Dogwood Cove series.

Master of the Dawnby Kathryn Le Veque

A flashy knight with a scandalous reputation and a much-pursued heiress find themselves tangled up in an unconventional love story.

But all is not as it seems.

Will hidden secrets destroy everything?

1195 A.D. – Sir Galen Burleson (from Guardian of Darkness) has a love ‘em and leave ‘em reputation. Enormous and powerful, he is the captain of the army at Hexham Castle. Galen is in control of his life and his future until his dying father, tired of his son’s roving ways, demands he marry. But Galen isn’t allowed a choice – his father already has a wealthy bride in mind: Lady Lorica de la Beauvriere, the sole heiress of the St. Nicholas Court Castle fortune.

Aside from thinking that his father is mad, Galen has no intention of pursuing a woman who, by all accounts, is much-pursued already. He doesn’t need, or want, the competition. St. Nicholas Court is a powerful castle with old Norman money but Galen would prefer to chase women of his own choosing. However, his father finally confesses his reasons for the St. Nicholas Court heiress choice – the Burleson wealth, once substantial old Saxon wealth, is gone. But the reason why it is gone shocks Galen to the bone.

Now, he has no choice but to pursue the wealthiest unmarried woman he knows – Lady Lorica.

Lorica de la Beauvriere isn’t an ordinary lady. Highly educated and highly trained in a variety of feminine and non-feminine pursuits, she’s the smartest person in the room when suitors come to call. Her wit is biting, her manner brusque and superior, and Galen walks into a deluge of resistance and insults right from the start.

But that only serves to intrigue him.

And with that, a very unconventional love story is born.

Join Galen and Lorica on an adventure of a lifetime, where all is not as it seems, where dark secrets can crush, but also where love can repair the damage and divide. When Galen is called to battle and a young life is cut short, it’s Lorica who finally understands what it is to love and be loved.

And Galen who decides that Lorica is the only woman for him.

(Note: this book is tied to Guardian of Darkness and all three de Reyne brothers make an appearance)

Heart Under Constructionby Stella Banks

Most guys ghost me when they find out I’m a single mom. Everyone, except Austin.

Dating in a small town sucks.
Like really sucks.

Especially when your past is filled with drama like mine.

I don’t have time for any of that. I have my son to look after.

That’s why I took this job at Fit Mountain Construction.

As the company’s new receptionist, I can just go to work and come home.

The last thing I need is to fall in love with my coworker, Austin.

Unfortunately, Austin is a hot mountain man.

Hot mountain men are my weakness.

And Austin? Well, he’s hot, and sweet, and there for me when I need him.

He says he wants to break my rules.

And now that we’re going out tonight,

I think I just might let him…

Heart Under Construction is a filthy-sweet mountain man instalove featuring a young, single mom and the handsome mountain man who sweeps her off her feet. And with a one hour read time it’s the perfect lunchbreak or weeknight read. Enjoy!
