He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.
He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids.
But another man took my hand.
He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart.
I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon.
I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.
Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.
But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything.

I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch…

I believe in this love.
All I need is a little luck.
(A LITTLE LUCK is a spicy small-town, single mom romance with elements of forced proximity, only one bed, who did this to you, he falls first, and a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)
P.S. You’re Intolerable by Julia Wolf is now live!
My boss, Elliot Levy is intolerable, and I tell him so everyday…in the little notes I write and then hide in the back of my desk.
I can’t exactly say to his face that I’m convinced he’s a cyborg, considering I really need to keep my job as his assistant since I’m about to become a single mom.
Elliot never looks at me, so he doesn’t even notice I’m pregnant until I’m seven months along. The first thing he asks is if I’m planning to come back to work once I have the baby.
Not unexpected.
What is unexpected is his concern for my well being, and the little—and not-so-little—gestures he makes to take care of me.
Elliot comes to my rescue when I need a place to stay after my daughter is born, and I see a whole other side to him…especially when he walks around his house without a shirt on.
Which he does, ALL. THE. TIME.
I shouldn’t look, but I can’t help it. He’s gorgeous in a suit, but out of one? Devastating.
Elliot shows me he isn’t the heartless robot I once thought. It’s still terrifying to take a chance on him, even when he holds my baby like she’s precious to him, and he touches me like he’s been longing to for ages.
Now that he has me, he isn’t letting me go without a fight.
And Elliot Levy didn’t get where he is in business without learning a few underhanded tricks. What will he do to keep me? To keep us?
Julia Wolf writes sexy rockers and badass women. She’s a huge believer in happily ever afters, no matter how complicated the road to get there is.

Baking cookies, sledding, building snow forts…these are the things trauma nurse Annika Scarlett should be doing with her nephews as Christmas nears. Instead, she’s in a hospital, where doctors are trying to diagnose her mysterious collapse. This is not what she planned for her holiday season.
She should be a little grateful…on one hand, the man’s she’s been crushing on via text came to her rescue and hasn’t left her side. But on the other?
The man’s she’s been crushing on via text came to her rescue…and hasn’t left her side.
It’s almost enough to make Annika believe in romance, except she’s far too independent for all that.
For billionaire and single dad Brent Caldwell, it was love at first sight the minute Annika helped his young son through an ordeal. But does the love-skeptical Annika even believe in such a thing? All he wants for Christmas is for her to recover. Well, maybe a little more than that…or a lot more…
Between storms, emergencies, and the ghosts of Christmas past, it’ll take a miracle for his wishes to come true. Good thing it’s that time of year.

In Your Wildest Dreams by Rebecca Jenshak is live!
He’s the cocky, pro hockey player that tried to get my number during a game. Now he’s sidelined with an injury and I’m his new nurse.
The first time I met Ash Kelly, he stripped off his jersey and gave it to a little girl in the crowd, charming an arena full of fans in the process. Then he tossed me a puck and asked for my number. I was with my jerk ex-boyfriend, who was less than impressed with the whole thing.
The second time he crashes into my life it’s as my patient. There’s no way he should remember me, but he does. Being Ash’s nurse is torture. He’s stubborn and frustrating, and he won’t stop flirting with me now that he knows I’m single. He’s even recruited the entire hospital to help him win me over. And it’s working.
The more time I spend taking care of him, the more he breaks down my defenses. He’s kind and considerate, and he makes my heart race.
But I’ve sworn off dating and getting involved with a charming, handsome hockey player like Ash feels like a terrible idea. We go our separate ways again, despite our undeniable connection.
I should have known it wouldn’t be the last time. For some reason, the universe keeps throwing us together.
I’m finally ready to give him a chance, but there’s one little problem. My ex-boyfriend just got a new job as the assistant GM of the Wildcats. And the only thing he wants more than me is to screw over the man I’m falling for.
In Your Wildest Dreams is a hockey romance with a cocky, cinnamon roll hero, spice, banter, and a happily ever after. It’s the fourth book in the Wildcat Hockey series and can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Where It Begins, an all-new swoon-filled Pucked novella from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting, is available now!
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in love…
I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his ass…sets.
In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.
In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma I’d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true nemesis: dairy.
I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.
I also didn’t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.
But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again. And again.
Sidney Butterson (yes, it’s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes. He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s employed and he’s ridiculously hot. There’s one catch.
We’re both single parents. With teens.
And if our kids don’t like each other? Well, we’re doomed.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
Hubert, the barista, calls out, “Skye and Sidney! Your lattes are ready!” I rush forward and grab mine, muttering a hasty, “Thanks!” Then beeline for the exit. Of course, that’s the moment a hoard of teens barrel through the door, forcing me to hold it open until the entire gaggle has stormed the café. Once outside, I hustle to the crosswalk. I punch the button and glare as the sign counts down from thirty. And then I hear my name being called. I glance toward the café and, much to my horror, the attractive man whose butt I was admiring is rushing toward me, coffee in hand. “Hey! You’re Skye, right?” he asks. “Yes. That’s me.” Maybe he didn’t mind my checking out his butt. “You took the wrong coffee.” He taps the side of the cup with the name SKYE written in Larissa’s lovely cursive. “Oh.” I turn mine around and see Sidney scrawled on the side. And it’s a pumpkin spice latte. Half sweet, skim milk. “Wow. I would have spent the rest of the afternoon working from a bathroom stall if you hadn’t caught me.” At his questioning expression, I continue with the embarrassing word vomit. “I’m lactose intolerant and this much dairy would mean stomach cramps for days.” I bite my lips together and close my eyes. “Sorry. You didn’t need to know that. I haven’t taken a sip. See. No lipstick prints.” I thrust the cup toward him and reluctantly crack a lid. He’s smiling. Widely. “I’m very glad I caught you when I did then. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for an afternoon of prolonged discomfort.” We exchange takeout cups. “It would’ve been my fault for not checking more than the S, but I was trying to escape my embarrassment. Seems like it’s following me around and making things worse.” I step away from this exceptionally hot man who inspires an unprecedented amount of word vomit. “Thank you for stopping me. You, uh…you didn’t drink out of mine, did you?” “I didn’t.” His eyes are blue. So vibrant and pretty and his teeth are straight. I glance at his hand. His ring finger is bare. Then I realize he’s giving my hand the same inspection. “Do you work around here?” “Just across the street.” I thumb over my shoulder. “You?” “No, but I’m in the area often.” He tucks a hand in his pocket. “Maybe you’d like to grab a coffee later this week?” I blink at him. Then open my mouth and ask a stupid question. “Are you asking me out?” “Unless you’re already seeing someone. I didn’t see a ring, so I was hopeful.” His bottom lip slides through his teeth and for a moment, he looks boyishly handsome. “But…you don’t know anything about me.” I don’t know why I haven’t said yes yet. He’s attractive and thoughtful enough to stop me from drinking the wrong coffee. His kindness saved me from ending up curled in the fetal position on a bathroom floor. He rubs the back of his neck. “I’ve seen you here before. I’ve been working up the nerve to introduce myself. Looks like the universe gave me a push in the right direction.” He holds up a hand and gives his head a little shake. “I’m probably making this awkward. I’ll be here Wednesday at eleven-thirty. Hopefully, I’ll see you then.” And with that, he turns and disappears into the crowd.
I’ll be all alone this Christmas, broken by a pile of debt from my cheating ex, and desperate to be with my family on the other side of the world.
I’ll do anything I can to afford the flights.
Anything.
Thank God, I have a friend online who can help me out. A friend who introduces me to the agency she works for, and blows my dirty mind open wide.
There’s lot of money to be made – so long as you’re willing to get down and filthy for it.
And me? Desperate to spend the holidays with my family?
I’ll be doing everything on the Naughty List I possibly can…

Author Bio:
I’m as filthy as my books suggest, and the characters become my world.
I am a fantasist, living in the English countryside, with a great family and some amazing friends around me – mainly already mentioned in the acknowledgements.
I have a chameleon named after my late partner, Jon, who passed away in 2018.
He’d have been very impressed by the tribute.
I’m also epileptic, which has been quite a journey – still ongoing. Learning to live with disability when you’re used to being independent is… hard. My support network is incredible.
So, what else… I haven’t grown out of being a goth since I was seventeen. Black velvet is my friend. So is glitter. Strawberry and cream flavour Huel, long hair extensions, and Carl Jung.
Oh, and books. Writing them, reading them, losing myself in imaginary realities. I’m always right there.
I’m best known for my novels Sugar Daddies, Bait, Call Me Daddy, and the Dirty Bad series.
What do a clueless mayor, his grouchy best friend, and an investigative journalist have in common?
TMI by Leslie McAdam, JE Birk & Rachel Ember is now live! https://geni.us/TMIRomance FREE with Kindle Unlimited!
Two firefighters. One twink. Can an evil twin, a small-town holiday competition, and revealed secrets bring them together?
I returned to Vermont to write an article about Mayor Doug McEmbirk and his town’s battle to win their local Holiday-Off. Even before I knew him, I had a crush on him. Because have you seen the man? OMG. With his big biceps and easy charm, Doug’s straight out of my firefighter fantasies. But I wasn’t planning on my inconvenient attraction to his scowly, grumpy roommate, Zeke, who’s the identical twin of my high school bully. That’s… messy.
Life gets even messier when Zeke confesses to the entire town that he’s bisexual—and that he’s been in love with Doug for years. Problem is, Doug’s straight.
Or is he?
Now, I’m on a mission to bring these two hot men together. I volunteer my services as a love coach, because these burly guys can’t even kiss without my assistance. Except both men seem to be into me as well. This is one confusing holiday season.
Things only get more complicated when meddling newspaper editors and kidnapped cows become involved. Not to mention some accidental texts and eggnog-fueled confessions.

From USA TODAY Bestselling author Xavier Neal comes the jaw-dropping, heart pounding conclusion to this best friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, romantic suspense duet!
The assignment is simple.
Don’t let the client get kidnapped.
Don’t let someone kill her.
Don’t screw up our now very real relationship.
It’s the last part that complicates what would otherwise be a fairly run of the mill operation.
If we weren’t dating, the only thing I would have to worry about would be following standard procedures such as making sure her locations are secure.
That we aren’t being followed.
That those in her inner circle haven’t been compromised.
But because we are, I now have to deal with her sabotaging ex boyfriend.
And an unexpected female guest showing up on our double date.
And a meddling team member who thinks he’s helping instead of simply giving me more headaches.
All of these things make my mission significantly harder.
As does trying to decide if we’re moving too fast.
As does having to come in second to her career.
As does my best friend herself when she finally has to decide what our future together looks like.
To the company I work for, my main objective is to find and eliminate the unidentified threat that’s been stalking one of their most valuable assets.
But to me?
My only job is to protect the love of my life – or die trying.

Jaxon Clémont knows who I am. Why else would a monster leave petals like breadcrumbs? Send love letters straight from hell? He’s stalking me, taunting me, chasing me into the darkness. He knows where I sleep, eat, and even where I live. He’s a brilliant surgeon and a billionaire, untouchable in every way, with a soul-sucking gaze and a predatory smile. And he knows my deep, dark secret.
But I won’t go softly into the night.
Jaxon might be my weakness with a beautiful face and a divine mission–who can cut my heart open with just one look and rip me apart with only a word–but I’m not another of his victims.
I won’t fall for his deviant charms.
I’m the real ripper, and I’m going to make him pay.

Something—someone—is coming for me. As each threatening note is delivered, the secrets in my mind break free.

Naomi James holds a grudge like it’s an Olympic competition.
She’s always in front of me in line for our coffees, going out of her way to annoy me—not advancing when she should, paying in pennies and nickels—all because I did something stupid seven years ago.
Even worse, the slope of her long neck and smell of her tropical perfume drives me to distraction.
Apparently, my body didn’t get the we-hate-Naomi memo.
She’s so aggravating, I have half a mind to quit frequenting my favorite coffee shop. Until I discover why she’s harbored a grudge this long.
Now all bets are off, because hell. She thinks I said awful things about her, which I most certainly did not, and I can’t live with this misunderstanding. Or how often she invades my dreams. Or the fact that I’ve wanted her for seven years.
But just when Naomi looks ready to forgive me and admit she’s angry because she cares, any future together gets ripped away from us…

Second-chance romance only works out in movies. In real life, it’s …messy.
Falling in love has never been this wild…
I’m a woman who knows my own worth. And more than anything, I deserve love. Wild, passionate, all-consuming love.What I did not deserve was being forced to hang around my small town to watch the jerk who left me at the alter fawn over his new wife. Instead, I ran.
Right into him.
Robert Bronson is my friend’s grumpy brother-in-law. He’s also a sexy single dad in need of a nanny.
And that’s how I found myself on his ranch in my cowboy boots and pretty summer dress.
Robert and I are complete opposites. He doesn’t even believe in happily ever after. I know I should stop pushing all his buttons…and falling into bed with him.
But I don’t.
So, what’s a girl to do when she falls for the man who is most likely to break her heart?
I have no idea. But until I figure it out, I’m going to enjoy every minute of this hot, wild ride…
Baseball star Billy Cooper’s marriage might have crashed and burned, but he’s knocking it out of the park when it comes to co-parenting. When an opportunity for a huge new contract comes along, Billy knows Jenna will have his back. All they have to do is demonstrate that he’s not the same wild “Billy Club” who partied too much back in the day. Rehabilitate his reputation? Shouldn’t be a problem. He’s changed; but does Jenna realize it?
Jenna Scarlett Cooper couldn’t ask for a better ex than Billy. It’s almost as if, now that they’re older, more mature… No, she can’t think about him that way, no matter how tempting it is. Sexual chemistry was never their problem. Neither was compatibility, or love, or fun, or… nope, she can’t go there. Definitely not. Not with kids and work deadlines and family issues…
When a winter storm buries Lake Bittersweet, suddenly things get real for Billy and Jenna. But someone doesn’t want them back together, someone with sabotage in mind. Can two exes who never really fell out of love overcome doubts, fears—even a possible stalker—and find their way back to each other for the ultimate do-over?
