Smokin' - A Lake Chelan Novel by Shirley Penick


Amber Clarkson is not looking for a protector, but when volunteer firefighter and children’s book author, Jeremy Scott, diffuses a tense situation with a frazzled customer, and then carries her to safety when her restaurant catches on fire, she can do nothing but be thankful for his help. What she doesn’t expect is his smokin’ hot kisses to burn through the barricades surrounding her heart. But a relationship is not in the cards. He’s much too observant and she can’t have him discovering her secret.

He’s always been infatuated with her, from afar. When the call comes in that her restaurant is on fire and she lives above it, he’ll move heaven and earth to make sure she’s safe.

This Body Won't Break: Part 2 by Lea McKee

Mistletoe Everywhere by Linda Banche

A man who sees mistletoe everywhere is mad—or in love.

Mr. Charles Gordon sees mistletoe. Not surprising, since he's spending Christmas at Mistletoe Manor. But the mistletoe always hangs over Miss Penelope Lawrence, the despised lady who jilted him the day after she accepted his marriage proposal. Even worse, no one else sees the benighted plant. Real or imagined, the weed taunts him with the treasure he lost. And might also drive him insane.

Penelope wants nothing to do with the faithless Charles, who broke her heart into tiny pieces when he cried off after proposing marriage. But try as she might, she’s never succeeded in removing him from her heart and mind. The baffling thing is, he stares at her all the time. Or rather, at something on the empty ceiling over her head.

Despite their struggles to extinguish every ounce of feeling, their love still burns bright. According to folklore, mistletoe is the plant of peace. Can Penelope and Charles, so full of hurt and anger, heed the mistletoe's message and make peace?

Lark by Roxanne Greening

He’s cold and dark everything I should run from. The problem, he has me tingling in places I've never had tingles before.

Bethy

I thought life had taken everything from me. My mom, my sister, my dad all gone in one fleeting moment. I only had one person left and I would do anything for her. I would do anything for my sister's child, even marry a man who worked on the wrong side of the law. Then I met him. The man coated in shadows. I didn’t know he was going to bring me to my knees. I didn't know he was going to awaken something dark and dangerous inside me.

Lark

I killed for a living I wasn’t a babysitter. I hated every moment of this degrading job. Until I laid eyes on her on Bethy. I thought I was dead inside. Emotions? I didn’t have any. That all changed when my eyes soaked in her beautiful face.
They thought they could take her. Take what's mine? I'll watch the world burn.

With lives on the line, can love survive? Will he save her? Or will the world burn?

Coming October 6th to Amazon.

Meeting His Match by Shannyn Schroeder

Malcolm “Mac” Sterling has one goal: take over the family matchmaking business. His final obstacle? Host his family’s new dating show and prove he can help each contestant find true love. One catch. Mac’s meddling mother has approved a co-host, a so-called expert who seems impervious to his charms. Now he could lose everything, because if his co-host proves she’s the better matchmaker, he can say goodbye to his legacy.

Natalie “Gem” Hale never intended for her alter ego as an online dating expert to get her the opportunity of a lifetime—or for that opportunity to come with a co-host who’s as infuriating as he is tempting. But she didn’t get this far by backing down from a challenge. All she has to do is keep her secret identity a secret.

Except as sparks fly and the competition heats up, Mac realizes his co-host is hiding something. He’s just got to figure out what.

Betrayed by A.D. Trosper

Sometimes the actions are worth the consequences.

I was never supposed to go to the Between. I was never supposed to fall in love with Caius. And yet, I’ve done both. Since stepping through that portal, I’ve done a lot of things I never thought I would.

Like coming face-to-face with a god. Or encountering the one person in all the worlds I didn’t want to meet. Or having a fairy floor me with just a few words and realizing things are a lot more complicated than just stopping the Lost.

Everything is changing, secrets are revealed, and something that shouldn’t even be possible has become reality. I never imagined any of this could happen. My imagination was clearly lacking.

Coming October 13th to Amazon.
