My new role as the social media content manager for the Silverbacks is a dream come true—except for my ex being the team’s quarterback.

Then there’s Rogan O’Rourke, the backup QB with the smoldering blue gaze and irresistible smile—who’s proving to be an unexpected complication.

Although he’s battling for the starting spot on the field, it seems he’s also vying for my attention. His flirtatious advances feel like a game I can’t win, and he’s doing his best to turn my life upside down.

But I’m on a mission to keep my career on track and steer clear of any romantic drama… especially with another football player.

And resisting Rogan?

That’s proving to be the toughest, and most tempting, play of all.

I live in the Shadows.

My life has never been my own. Every second of every day was another op—another month away from my family.

The job was a necessity.

I toppled governments.

I hunted down criminals.

I put politicians in their place.

But I always knew there would be a price to pay. I just never thought the threat would be to my family. After all, I kept them at a distance for most of my life.

After years of dedicating my life to service, it’s time to put an end to it all.

Too much was taken from me.

The sacrifice was more than I could bear.

There’s only one way forward, and that’s to take out everyone that’s turned my life to hell.

But in doing so, I might end up losing more than I bargained for.

This isn’t just another op.

The only way to end the suffering is to win.

There’s just one thing I need to remember…

Every victory comes at a cost.

BLURB.

It was supposed to be a straightforward protection job. Remove the target from Vermont, get him to the safehouse, keep him there until his mafia uncle testifies, get back in my employer’s good graces.

Boom, done. Easy.

But it turns out things get complicated real fast when your target is an adorkable, accident-prone cutie with a shockingly low sense of self-preservation, zero clue that he’s related to the Fromadgio crime boss, and 100% too much inclination to chat happily with strangers.

When Chris compromises our safehouse (and accidentally starts a “lowkey, unavoidable” bar fight), our only option is to go undercover… pretending to be campground hosts in Copper County, New York.

Make that married campground hosts. (Long story.)

Now I’m hiding out with a guy who’s obsessed with action-adventure shows and hand-knit sweaters, and whose most fearsome talent is arranging charcuterie boards, all of which is far less helpful in a gunfight than you might think.

And worst of all… the sweet little virgin I rescued is growing on me.

Somehow I find myself listening to his happy chatter when I should be watching the woods, trying to figure out how his mind works when I should be getting us out of this predicament, and appreciating the way he looks in my shirts when I should be focused on getting my career back on track.

But when the Fromadgios’ enemies finally find us, protecting Chris is no longer just a job. I’ll do anything to protect what’s mine… and there’s nothing pretend about it.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

She’s in need of a fake, friendly boyfriend to charm her family.

He’s the last bachelor up for auction and a grumpy, last-minute stand-in.

Neither satisfies the other’s requirements but they might just be what each of them needs.

With Lauren Connelly’s ex marrying her sister, the last thing she wants is to show up at the wedding without a date. Which means finding a fake boyfriend ASAP. The charity bachelor auction provides a solution to her problem, except the man she bids on turns out to be a gorgeous but grumpy executive who scowls more than he smiles.

Chase Gossard wants nothing to do with Lauren’s plan to make him her plus-one at a destination wedding and pretend that he’s in love. He doesn’t do relationships, fake or otherwise—but she paid a lot of money for the privilege. So why does their touching, kissing, and sharing one bed feel all too real?

Lauren is smart and witty and sexy as hell. A down to earth combination that somehow softens his hard edges, and somewhere along the way, he’s falling hard for his fake date. But when the truth comes out and it’s time to part ways, can the confirmed bachelor convince his pretend girlfriend to make things real?

Ava

My life is content. Living and working in my small hometown of Pine Village is right where I want to be, especially with family and a few close friends nearby.

It’s taken me some time to dig my way out of the negative spotlight I found myself under a few years back, thanks to an old photo from college that resurfaced. That’s why I have rules: no social media, no drinking alcohol in public, and no dating the father of one of my students. Then, Gavin Pierson rescues me from the side of the road.

He’s not making it easy to say no, especially when he flashes that sexy boyish grin of his. The only problem is dating him would be a complication I’m not prepared to deal with, but he’s proving to be relentless.

Gavin

Something calls to me when I’m near my daughter’s shy fifth-grade teacher. I wanted Ava Rutledge when we were teenagers in high school, and now that seems to be the case once again.

However, she’s given herself strict guidelines, and despite the attraction I know she feels, convincing her to take a chance on us could be a challenge. It's a good thing I’m a patient man. The biggest hurdle we face is the fact she’s my daughter’s teacher, and that’s the one rule she’s not willing to budge on.

I’m going to have to show her how much fun it can be when we break it.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Two dreams. One summer. A life-changing love story.

The world is full of wonders. That's what my father taught me. And that's something Josh has absolutely no clue about.

Granted, he's strong, stronger than I'll ever be. Because he fights for his dream while I've long given up on mine. As a star pianist, he's even nominated for the International Music Award this year. But at the same time, he's so afraid of his five-year-old daughter that he hired me as a nanny.

Josh is peculiar. And honestly, he should mean nothing to me. But when he plays the piano, I still wish he would do it just for me.

This man touches my heart. But I can't allow that.

Because within me lie memories that must never be awakened. And slowly, I realize that he could be the one to do exactly that.

It's impossible not to be moved by this uplifting romance novel about the pursuit of happiness and finding your place in life. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Paige Toon, and Beth Moran.
