Hallie
No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.
So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.
The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.
Logan

Title: Force a Date
Author: Aria Belle
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Age Gap, Fake Boyfriend
Secret Child, Workplace/Boss Romance
Cover Design: Black Widow Designs
Release Date: April 4, 2024
BLURB
Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend.
Right in front of him.
Just don’t, trust me.
Hudson Stoll is the grumpiest grump I’ve ever met in my life. He’s never liked me much and calls me anything but my real name. His favorite rendition?
Opie.
My name is Liv, and because my mother is a grade-A pain in the ass who’s always complaining I can’t keep a man, I blurted out Hudson was my boyfriend just in time for my dad’s birthday party.
Didn’t come without consequences.
As payment for my brain-to-mouth malfunction, I’m now Hudson’s personal bitch for the next three months.
No, literally.
I go on coffee runs, order his food, and have to tackle mindless tasks around the parlor. I mow his lawn, trim the bushes, and wash his monstrous Harley. Oh, and let’s not forget listening to him complain about how I’m not doing something right and how I have a big mouth.
Pffft. Takes one to know one.
But throughout my temporary servitude, one thing becomes crystal clear—he’s interested in so much more than me simply getting the job done right. Hudson stares at me like he’s about to devour me in one bite, and I’m no one to judge him because, honestly, I’ve done it plenty of times myself. It’s hard not to when he’s a wall of muscles covered in tattoos.
Don’t even get me started on the beard.
We’re not supposed to act on our “relationship”, though…
It’s not real.
He’s not mine, I’m not his, yet he can’t seem to keep his hands to himself, and I have a problem saying no.
Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend—because things can and probably will spiral out of control.
And I personally wasn’t ready for the hard fall I took when he found out about the daughter I kept a secret the whole time.

His desire for me burns hotter than flames, but unseen forces threaten to tear us apart.
I was the Flame King’s reluctant mate, a bride he snatched from another man’s funeral pyre. Zabriel was chosen for me by fate, and I fought my craving for him every step of the way.
At seven feet tall and riding the biggest, meanest dragon in the flare, Zabriel is an Alpha who can take whatever he wants and burn those who stand in his way. Yet he healed my wounded heart with coaxing words and fiery kisses until I craved no one but him.
In the midst of war, I found love in the arms of the Flame King.
My first heat is drawing closer and soon Zabriel will finally claim me and make me his. I’m his Omega and his bride, but I’m also a witch. There are many in Maledin who would rather see me burn than become Zabriel’s bride, or even kill their king before he can marry me.
Friends wear masks that conceal their blood-soaked intentions. Enemies past and present are sharpening their knives. Dragons hunt for prey, and protecting the man I love could leave my heart bleeding on ashes.
Author’s note: The Flame King’s Bride is a steamy, non-shifter MF romance set in a fantasy world of magic and dragonriders. Zabriel is a possessive hero, and Isavelle is a strong but sweet heroine. This is the second book in the Fire and Desire trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger.

Iâve got her brotherâs approval, but now itâs Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesnât believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationshipâso she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe sheâs about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.
And what I want is her.

Release Date: February 6, 2024
BLURB
Opposites attract in this sizzling campus romance.
Pre-med student and captain of Thatcher College’s hockey team, Luke Prescott, is known as the Ice Man on campus and that’s just how he wants it. With the NHL draft and graduation on the horizon, distractions are the last thing Luke can afford. His best friends are discipline and focus, with no time for interruptions.
Too bad for Luke, he’s just been assigned a social media project with Jax Silva, a junior who's anything but predictable, changing majors as often as her clothes. Granted, she looks tempting in everything she wears and has infiltrated his every thought, but Luke won't let his world be turned upside down again.
Despite the chance of frostbite, Jax is determined to thaw the Ice Man and secure a coveted internship position too. If only the hockey grump would just cooperate and let her past the front door. So, what if she’s proposing a sexy team calendar — what’s the big deal? And if she shivers at his touch, it's because he's as cold as ice, not because he makes her hot. No, despite the campus rumors, their teaming up is purely due to their assignment, and nothing more. Right?
This match might need to go into overtime. Game on!

Title: Difficult
Series: Neighbor From Hell Chronicles #2
Author: R.L. Mathewson
Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Tropes: Coming of Age/High School
Friends to Lovers
Release Date: February 5, 2024
BLURB
Surviving high school was going to be hard enough, but surviving telling the one girl that he couldn’t live without how he felt was going to be one of the most difficult things that Sebastian Bradford was ever going to do.
From New York Times and USA Today’s bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the second novel in the Neighbor from Hell Chronicles that will bring it all back, leaving you unable to help but smile as you remember the first time that you fell in love.
For years, Sebastian has been lying to himself, doing whatever it took to convince himself that Mikey was just his best friend and the pain in the ass that he couldn’t stop thinking about and now…
He would do absolutely anything to stop screwing this up, but that probably wasn’t going to happen, not with his brother determined to help him. With every soul-crushing piece of advice his brother threw his way, Sebastian found himself thinking about everything that he had to lose if Mikey didn’t feel the same way and wondered if he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
The glaring was definitely starting to concern her, but Mikey had bigger problems to worry about than her best friend suddenly acting weird around her, like the teenage girl and her minions going out of their way to make her life a living hell. She couldn’t risk losing her scholarship, not when it meant that she would never be able to do the one thing that she loved more than anything again.
