"Emery: I walked away from Quinn three years ago. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had my reasons, and I thought it was best to let him go. I am too much. But even knowing that, I still crave him. I still miss him. I need him. I love him.
But while I've been building an empire he's supposed to be a part of—and pining after him—he's off getting engaged. To someone who isn't me. He thinks I'm going to allow him to marry someone else? Not a chance.
Quinn: Emery has been causing me trouble since we were toddlers. She is loud, assertive, and maybe even an evil genius, but my love for her knows no bounds. She walked away from me, left me behind for a new life, and I had no choice but to watch. I put myself out there for her to take me as her own, but she wouldn't. So, I moved on. I got engaged.
And now, Emery is back. It's not a big deal. I won't fall back into my old ways of needing her. I won't let her close enough to see the secrets I've been hiding. I'll keep her at arm's length. I've got this.
Or so I think. Because, in true Emery fashion, she barrels into my life. I thought I had a handle on her. But honestly, when have I ever been able to handle Emery Brooks?"
"From the Nashville Assassins: Next Generation series, comes your next book-boyfriend!
Dimitri Titov was on hockey skates before he could walk. All he's ever wanted is to play for the Assassins, his dad's team. After growing up in Russia, he's back in Nashville, Tennessee, and ready to pursue his lifelong goal.
Austen McDavid escaped the kind of life they make Netflix documentaries about. But she has survived and is thriving in her new position, preparing to lead the Assassins' farm team.
A housing mix-up leads to a middle-of-the-night encounter so reminiscent of his parents' relationship, Dimitri can't help but wonder if it's fate.
And when everyone is telling you not to go for it, sometimes you just have to line up the shot and let the pucks fly where they may."
"Stella Brooks is a woman who knows what she wants. From her first glimpse of Paris Fashion Week at the tender age of eleven, she has only ever wanted to be a designer. Until . . . she is driven to trade fashion for frosting, a move that makes her soul sing but shakes her confidence in her decision-making to her core. And when you add in that her sexy hookup from her older brother's wedding is sniffing around again, things are about to get out of hand. Wesley McMillan seems different, no longer putting off love-'em-and-leave-'em vibes, which only adds to Stella's emotional chaos.
Wesley McMillan has had a thing for Stella Brooks since she first served him a fried pickle platter at her mom's restaurant. She's stunning, smart, and confident. She knows her worth and what she wants, and she owns whatever room she's in, the ultimate turn-on for him. He just has two problems: Stella is his best friend's sister, and she thinks he's a playboy. The first issue, Wes is willing to face off against. As for the second . . . Wes doesn't blame Stella for her assumption. He used to love to play the field, but now that he has his demons under control, he is ready to show her and the world that he is worthy of her love.
Wes may be known for his sick signature move on the ice, but will his dirty toe drag be enough to score Stella's heart?"

"My family was never supposed to meet my fake fiancee.
Except she just walked into my hospital room, looking just as surprised as I am.
All because of one white lie. They think we’ve been together for a year, but I only met her last night.
I panicked after my father didn’t name me as the next CEO of our family’s billion-dollar company. His reasoning was that “I care *too* much about work”. In fact, the whole small town we live in thinks I’m too rigid and too serious.
I just need to convince everyone I can loosen up and enjoy myself.
They might believe the lie, but I know what happens when I get distracted.
Besides, Ivy is too young for me and too bright & optimistic about the world.
It’s only supposed to be for a month. She’ll live with me and I’ll put up with her teasing.
I can’t let myself fall in love with my fiancee no matter how tempting her smart mouth...
But when she calls me “Daddy”, I know I’m ruined for anyone else.
Don't Call Me Daddy is a laugh-out-loud, scorching hot romantic comedy set in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains and is the first in a brand new series following the five Kingsley brothers.
Tropes:
• Small Town in the Appalachian Mountains
• Grumpy Billionaire CEO
• Age/Gap
• Fake Engagement
• Daddy Dom/Brat Vibes
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Checklist Adventure
• Annoyances to Lovers"
"New to the Pittsburgh Titans but no stranger to relentless ambition, North Paquette knows exactly how to put in the work to ensure the win. But this time, the stakes are personal because the game isn’t just on the ice.
Life as a member of the Pittsburgh Titans is pretty freaking fantastic. I live in one of the best cities around, get paid to play the game I love and enjoy all the perks of being a professional hockey player. While many of those perks are because of who I am, one in particular is because of who I know.
Farren Abrams wasn’t on my radar until she came to town to visit her brother Rafferty. She’s smart, sarcastic, sexy as hell and can talk hockey like a pro. So when a night out with the team became a drunken hookup with Farren, there were zero complaints from yours truly. We had our fun and then she went back home—no harm, no foul. Now she’s moved to Pittsburgh permanently and while she’s still looking for some fun, I’m starting to look for more.
The more time I spend with Farren the more I like her, but to say she’s relationship averse is an understatement. Something in her past has caused her to head for the hills whenever someone gets too close, but she shuts down whenever I push for details. When she rejects my attempts to take this thing to the next level, I’m forced to seek help from none other than Rafferty, who has no idea I’m banging his little sister. With his assistance, I set out to do the one thing none of those chumps in Farren’s past have taken the time to do—help her face her demons and give her something worth staying for. "
"Mankind. The other white meat.
In 1957, the US government abruptly ended a project designed to supplement the nation's food supply. They closed their research facility, reassigned the personnel, and ordered the test subjects euthanized. Sadly, not all their secrets died that day.
Twenty years later, a severe drought has devastated nearby Cooper's Bluff, leaving the surrounding marshlands barren and their monstrous inhabitants ravenously hungry. Now the residents of this sleepy, rural town are about to discover the offspring of these failed experiments have not only survived, but they're larger and more horrifying than anyone could've ever guessed possible.
As an army of mutant hogs descends upon the unsuspecting townsfolk, a local farmer, his wife, and a failed pimp will find themselves the only ones standing in their way. If they can't stop the bloodthirsty beasts, they'll soon learn that not only does this bacon bite back but all of humanity is now on the menu."
"My dad and I have been estranged for years, but as his only living relative, it's no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies.
Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will that requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.
I haven't stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
There's just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch's foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don't care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He's rude, he's growly, and he wants me gone. I'd fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch.
We're enemies from the get-go. But it turns out Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He's got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let's just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too.
But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn't already lassoed mine…
Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small-town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. Cash is the first standalone book in the steamy interconnected Lucky River Ranch series."

"It was supposed to be a simple assignment: stake out the golden boy hockey player Cole "Mac" Mackenzie as he exited the arena after a Los Angeles Blades game.
Follow him.
Get dirt on his personal life-something salacious to please the money-hungry gossip rag I worked for.
But I missed the moment Mac left the building. Or so I thought…
Twenty minutes later, I saw actual Mac exit after the media left. Apparently, he'd used a decoy to throw off the press-waiting until everyone left to make his getaway in private.
I started following the real Mac, and got more than I bargained for.
He led me to a mystery building tucked away in the middle of the suburbs.
Turned out, he was going to… a private club.
A club that wasn't for the faint of heart-as I'd soon find out after sneaking in.
I wasn't expecting to connect with Mac inside. Nor did I anticipate him to invite me back as his personal guest.
What started as a simple assignment turned into something much more-my biggest fantasy I never knew I had.
This wasn't about the tabloid story anymore. I lied to my boss, told him there was nothing to see.
Meanwhile, I kept returning to the club.
I was addicted to unraveling the mysteries of Mac's world.
Addicted to the man who lit a fire inside me.
But-with my own secret-it was only a matter of time before I got burned."
