[Release Blitz + Review] Dr. CEO by Louise Bay



🔥HOT NEW RELEASE🔥
We are excited to celebrate DR. CEO by Louise Bay is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

She hates him. He can’t get enough of her.

My life was simple until Vincent Cove, an (annoyingly hot) American billionaire, arrived. He wants to convert the English country mansion where I live and work into a glitzy hotel.

Over my dead body.

I’m just a small-town waitress, up against Vincent’s goliath fortune, but I won’t go down without a fight. I'm taking on this billionaire bulldozer.

If I’d known his plans I definitely (maybe) wouldn’t have slept with him. And I’m determined to ignore the chemistry growing between us.

Except his charm is distracting, his persistence is irritating and his forearms, sharp jaw and devilish smile are downright infuriating.

At least I don’t have to worry about him sticking around. A self-confessed rolling stone, he can’t commit to a lunch order before noon, so there’s no way he’ll hang around long enough for me to fall in love with him.

A standalone, enemies to lovers, small town, billionaire romance with a guaranteed HEA.

[Release Blitz + Review] Brave Enough by Kelly Elliott


Brave Enough by Kelly Elliott is NOW LIVE!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

Hunter Shaw is handsome, charming, and a minor celeb on the collegiate team roping circuit. Not to mention, he looks damn fine in a cowboy hat. So it's no surprise when he's ardently pursued to be the star on a new streaming network's debut program—a reality dating show. The money on offer would do wonders for his family's charity, but it's only after catching a glimpse of the show's host that he's all-in. The former Ms. Montana catches his eye and his interest...inconvenient, to say the least, when he's about to date twenty women on national television.

Kipton Howse also desperately needs the money from hosting Swipe Right, but for different reasons. With barely a glance at the contract, she signs on for the two-month shoot. She'll do her job, collect her payment, then put Shaw Ranch in her rearview. Of course, she didn't count on loving the place so much...or the entire Shaw family...or Hunter himself. From the moment they meet, sparks fly, and they only get hotter as the show continues, despite a houseful of women vying for his attention.

Sexual tension is at an all-time high when things take a dramatic turn, both on and off the cameras, thanks to the show's rabid fans—who vote to shake things up in a way no one saw coming. It's safe to say Kipton and Hunter's sizzling attraction is no longer a secret. But at least one contestant isn't ready to admit defeat. 

After all...what's reality TV without a bit of drama?

Brave Enough is book three in the Love in Montana series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but for a better reading experience the author recommends you reading in order.

She's ready to be naughty.

THE GOOD GIRL by Nikki Sloane is NOW LIVE!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

What are you supposed to do when your best friend's little sister—a classic good girl—asks you to help her go bad?

You should say no.

You shouldn't pretend to date her so she can piss off her parents.

You definitely shouldn't agree to take her virginity and show her all the experiences she's been missing out on.

And you really shouldn't keep it a secret from her brother, the one who's your best friend and business partner.

But I don't always make the best choices. In fact, I can be kind of a dick sometimes.

And I know if I don't do it, someone else will . . . and I can't have that. If anything, it means I get to be the good guy for once.

I just wasn't prepared for how gifted this good girl would be at going bad.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Danger is never hidden in the shadows. It haunts in the daylight.

I've watched her grow up since we were teenagers. This gorgeous little doll—my obsession—even if a man like me has never had any business desiring something so pure. Not that it stops me; I’m her brother’s best friend with a past marked by death and a future that promises to bathe the streets of Miami with the blood of her enemies.

In her name. As a future wedding gift.

Because someone was stupid enough to hurt those she loves. And while she gets closer to the answers she seeks, to finding her father’s killer, I indulge her while stalking her every move. Let her dig and tempt danger while my finger’s always on the trigger:

My angel hunts within the darkness I control while I execute. She has a hold on me no amount of time can break.

Yet someone ignored my one rule:

Most things in life can be forgiven—all except this...
Never touch what belongs to me.
And Liliana Armas is just that. Mine.

As Sloane Chambers stood at her window and creeped on the new guy moving in next door, she was immediately drawn to the tattoos, muscles, and the way his jeans hugged his perfect . . . frame. But when she caught him hacking up her rose bushes with a chain saw, the battle was on.

For Silas Bridger, moving to a new town and starting a new job was his chance for a fresh start. He’d already failed at being a husband, but he was determined to make things right with his teenage daughter and be the father she deserved. Which meant there was no room in his life for complications. Especially in the form of his gorgeous, sassy next-door neighbor.

When the attraction to Sloane becomes too intense to ignore, that line he kept firmly drawn is crossed. But there is no way he’ll let a handful of passionate, earth-shaking encounters turn into something more. He’s done with the dreaded L-O-V-E, or at least that’s what he tells himself. Because Sloane is quickly becoming the kind of complication he may not survive.

Heavy is the head that inherits the crown.

The only thing on Daire Archer’s mind when she pulled a disappearing act on Christmas was proving she was worthy of being her father's daughter. She was born an Archer, which was a blessing and a curse, and Daire was determined to show everyone she deserved to carry the legacy that came with her name.

There is power in a name, and being an Archer meant Daire needed to do better, to be better. At least, that’s what she thought she needed, until a boy from nowhere—with a name that meant nothing—showed her that she was already pretty great just the way she was.

Campbell has always rejected everything concerning his maniacal father and his troubled past. When he left Nowhere, he was certain he wanted a nice, quiet life free from the only things he'd ever known: violence and bloodshed. He thought he needed to be a better man. He wondered if there was a kinder, gentler version of himself under his thick armor of scars and tattoos.

It wasn't until he started chasing Daire Archer all over hell and back that Campbell realized he needed to be a man who was better at being bad than everyone else in his troubled world.

Because now, he had a problematic princess to protect. One with an uncanny ability for finding trouble. Where Daire is concerned, being a good guy isn't necessary.

Evie Sutherland throws herself into everything. Like many on Scotland's picturesque Orkney Islands, she works several jobs: managing her family's shop, researching genealogy for tourists, and writing historical romance novels. Evie aces most challenges--except love. With a childhood diagnosis of Crohn's disease and a disastrous dating history, Evie has convinced herself that guys won't date the "sick girl" and the blame falls on the shoulders of her first love, a famous boy from London who spent his summers on her island.

Now finding success behind the cameras, Nick is still racked with regret and guilt over how things ended with the Orcadian girl he'd loved and left behind.

But when a television series filming in Orkney blows Nick back into Evie's quiet life, they're forced to face their heartbreaking past and revisit old secrets that should never have been kept.

Unfolding in alternating past and present timelines, A Smile in a Whisper is a touching story of first love and second chances, and the enduring summer memories that shape us.

The Trouble with Runaway Brides by Piper Rayne is NOW LIVE!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

I should not still be hung up on my high school girlfriend.

I’m a billionaire, with a penthouse in New York City, a private plane, and was recently crowned one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.

She’s engaged to my rival. A real prick of a guy whose family is about as famous as mine. So, pictures of the happy couple are plastered everywhere, and it’s driving me insane.

The last time I spoke to her was my freshman year of college, and I never imagined I’d bump into her at a crowded restaurant in the busiest city in the world. But fate had other plans, and when I innocently suggest that the press wouldn’t bother with her wedding plans if she held it in our small Alaskan town where we grew up, I had no idea she’d take me seriously.

Now, I find myself helping her plan the wedding at my dad’s luxury resort while the town’s gossip app follows our every move, afraid that their golden boy will get his heart broken twice by the same girl.

But that’s impossible because she stole my heart when we were fifteen, and never gave it back.
