New Release ~ Things We Hide from the Light ~ by ~ Lucy Score

Title: Things We Hide from the Light

Series: Knockemout Series Book 2

Author: Lucy Score

Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2023

Bestselling author Lucy Score returns to Knockemout, Virginia, following fan-favorite Things We Never Got Over with Knox’s brother Nash’s story.

Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.

Too bad Lina’s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she’s in town, he’ll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn’t do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she’s after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people’s skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he’s not about to be dissuaded…even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

Family isn’t about blood. It’s about loyalty and trust, and the Hells Guardians MC was the only family Menace McAllister cared about. Abandoned by his mother at birth, he was raised by his brother until he was eight. The day Hunter McAllister left, Menace was forced to survive with a father who despised him. He became a loner, closing out the world around him. On his eighteenth birthday, he found his way to Hells Creek, WY, where the MC took him in.

The club became his salvation, his life, but it all came at one expensive cost—loving Clover, the president’s niece, from afar. When a rival club kills all but one member of their Arizona Chapter, life as Menace knew it ceases to exist. Just when he believed he had it all figured out, he learns of a secret his brother has been keeping from the club. Things couldn’t get more complicated. That is until Clover went missing.

Cover Reveal ~ The Boulder Series ~ by ~ Eve L. Mitchell

Series: The Boulder Series

Titles: Unbroken Devotion, Dark Heart, Unbroken Bonds, Dark Soul

Author: Eve L. Mitchell

Genre: New Adult Romance

Cover Design: Sammi Bee Designs

You can’t help who you love…even if it is your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.

I had no idea our breakup wouldn’t be the worst part of my day when I went home that night. Or that kissing the brother of my ex at a funeral wouldn’t bring me any comfort.

The plan was to start over. A fresh start, far away from them both, and everyone else who cared about me.

Nothing is ever as easy as it should be.

I was still the same old me, and my fractured heart wasn’t prepared for a tumble down memory lane with the same people—and feelings—that I was running from.

Colton Dawson was off limits, or he should have been. Yet, the heart wants what it wants…and mine wants Colton.

But how can I stay away when his world keeps colliding with mine?

Nice guys finish last. Words I live by. In my world, it pays to be the bad guy…and I’m very good at being bad.

I have a thriving business built on blood, sweat and tears—literally. Underground fights are my bread and butter, and no one interferes with that if they know what’s good for them.

Not even some expensive-looking blonde, with blue eyes and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop.

Babysitting Lela Morgan starts out as a favour to a “friend,” but the longer I’m forced to look out for her, the harder it is to keep my hands to myself.

And the more I want her, the crueller my words become. Because if there’s one thing in my dangerous world I cannot afford, it’s going soft.

For the first time in my life, I’m close to losing control. The harder I push her away, the harder she pushes my buttons.

But she’s tougher than she looks, and she’s not going down without a fight.

Could it be that enemies make the best lovers?

Opposites attract…and we’re complete opposites in every way.

Hope Walker is quiet, studious and someone I have overlooked for far too long. But when I crash her study session in the library it’s clear she knows exactly who I am.

It would seem that my playboy reputation precedes me, and for once, I wish it wouldn’t.

Because the more I get to know the girl hiding behind the books, the more I want her.

After she helps my friends and I out, I wonder how I could have been so blind to what’s been right in front of me all along.

My friends are my family, like brothers, but our bond is stronger than blood—and that bond is currently being tested.

When a dangerous enemy threatens to take her away from me, I will do anything to keep her safe. Even get my hands dirty…and lie to my brothers.

When the truth catches up with me, will it break our bond for good?

There’s no rest for the wicked…or a single father.

I should know. I’m getting a crash course in parenthood. Lela has left…and I don’t know where she is.

I’m left picking up the pieces and learning to balance being a wicked alpha and a new father.

In my line of work, weakness is a death sentence.

The sharks are circling—and they’re out for blood. My blood.

But if they think I’ve gone soft, they’re about to get a rude awakening.

Because if there’s one thing I do know, it’s that this dark soul never loses.

When an old adversary returns to collect a debt, bringing new temptations…will it cost me everything?

Eve L. Mitchell is a USA Today Bestselling author who writes contemporary romance and urban fantasy.

Being an avid reader from a young age, Eve still considers herself to be a reader first. She believes there is nothing better than getting that new book either on your e-reader or in your hands, and the fact she may bring that excitement to a fellow reader, fills her with wonder. She writes under a pen name because otherwise her Secret Agent status will be revoked.

Eve lives in the North East of Scotland, with her three coffee machines and her significant other, Mr. M. She enjoys NFL Football, music and having long conversations with the voices in her head, which sometimes turn into the stories she writes.

Author: Sonya Jesus

Genre: Sports Romance (Sloth/Hockey)

Cover Design: Touch Creations

His kind of broken pairs perfectly with hers.

Unless an almost murder charge and a bad name count for something, Knox Moore’s hockey career is over. Not officially, but thanks to the media incriminating the innocent, he hasn’t just been skating on thin ice… he’s been dragged through the mud so bad, not even the Zamboni can fix it.

Needing a place to level out his head and escape the pressure, Knox surfaces up in the small town where his dream started–the very place he vowed never to return to. Whether Knox comes looking for motivation or a reason to hate his family even more, he finds something entirely different: a beautiful disaster.

Stevie Winlow can’t risk falling for someone. Not now. Not in this town. Not when her mom is on the verge of a breakdown and she’s hanging on by the ink on her planner. Letting someone in, even just a little, may ruin her entire setup… but Knox’s kind of damaged makes him irresistible. And he finds Stevie’s motivation addictive. Until he discovers the reason behind it.

Then he’ll wish he hadn’t.

Pucking Nothing is a standalone hockey romance lightly laced with mystery and the kind of angst that comes with a second chance at life. It’s jam-packed with family drama, a touch of innocence, and an addictive plot twist.

“How about we give him two more minutes?” Alix said. “If he’s not out by then, we can assume he left through the front and you won’t—” Alix stopped talking as the lecture door swung open. Jolie’s back straightened. He was done. And walking. Right past the bench. His messenger bag was slung over one shoulder, and his stride purposeful—like he couldn’t wait to get out of the building. Jolie stood up, trance-like. Her heart beating a sprinter’s pace. Go catch up, it would say if hearts had mouths. But her feet had turned to puddles, followed by her calves and then her knees. All she could do was stand still as her body dripped into a puddle across the tile. Alix glanced at her. “Jolie, what are you doing?” “I… I can’t.” Jolie’s voice shook. Alix remained quiet. The significance of what Jolie had set out to do, and that she couldn’t see it through, didn’t need highlighting. “You never know,” Alix whispered while Jolie’s eyes tracked his legs moving him further away. “He might come through the Union again and I can give him your number or something.” “That happened once. In three months. Those odds are not favorable.” Jolie watched him stop in front of the exit. Inevitably, he would walk out those doors and the “Where’s Waldo?” of her college years would continue. It seemed where she was frequent on this campus, he was elusive. Not a single random, or even not-so-random, run-in outside of class. Yet, there he stood, mere steps away. The end of the beginning was within her grasp. All she had to do was go up to him and say what she’d lost so much sleep rehearsing. Hello. Time was running out. “You’ve put way too much pressure on yourself, and on this person you don’t even know. And—Why is he just standing there?” Alix’s voice sounded far away. The loud, rhythmic ticking from the lobby clock directly over his head had replaced the sound of his retreating footsteps now that he’d come to a stop. Tick. Jace was staring out the window. She noticed his headphones were pulled down around his neck. Tick. Jolie was standing only a few paces away from him. Tick. She could do this. She had to do this. Go catch up. Jolie clutched onto Alix’s arm. Her expression, she imagined, was wild. Her face was an oven. Alix rolled her eyes. “I’m going to use the bathroom,” she said and mouthed, Go. Reason took over emotion and Jolie launched herself forward.

A night with a vigilante biker wasn’t my wisest choice.

The day after our weekend together, I find out he’s my new boss.

Excerpt

I’m waiting for Dash to take the bait. Again. And then he does. I turn again and his rough hand lands on my hip as he leans toward me, his hot breath tickling my ear. “That’s two. You shouldn’t tease a grouch.” Bingo. “What will happen if I do?” I take another chip and crunch it, licking the cheese off my fingers as I watch him. “You’ll make him angry.” “Oh? Will he punish me?” I lean in, eyes wide, “Maybe two spanks this time?” I ask in faux terror. It’s dark inside this bar, but there is no mistaking the way his pupils dilate. I reach for another chip but his hand on my hip squeezes once again and I jerk into the table pushing my hand onto the plate of nachos, getting cheese all over my finger. I stand upright to reach for a napkin, but he grabs my wrist and holds it, forcing me to face him head on. My entire body is racing with excitement, tingles moving from my toes to the top of my head. He raises my finger dripping with cheese and paints my lips with it. He watches as I snake my tongue out to lick it off, our eyes holding the entire time. “You want to be punished?” I nod my head slowly , sticking my finger in my mouth and sucking off the remaining cheese. A smug grin forms on his lips. “Fuck, Rainbow Brite, I didn’t think you had it in you.” “I don’t. Yet.” I raise a brow, daring him to answer me. Begging him to want the same things I do. He stands abruptly, bumping me, but I don’t move back. With his hand still wrapped around my wrist, I’m not going anywhere. “You’re playing with fire, little girl.” He whispers in my ear, and I want to jump for joy. I want to climb this man like a tree and let him take me home and do wicked, wicked things to my body, all the while reminding myself that he’s leaving, he’s just passing through this town, and I should not fall for the grouch. But it’s too late. “Then burn me, big boy.”

Genre: Spicy Romantic Comedy

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Fish Out of Water

Release Date: February 14, 2023

BLURB

My name is Lucas Donovan, and I’m a sucker for a great taco.

No, that’s not an innuendo, though I do like my women like I like my tacos: extra spicy. So when a brand new food truck rolls into our sleepy little town of Fantasie, Maine, I know I’m in trouble. I just don’t know how much trouble.

Things go downhill fast when I meet Chloe Brown, the sizzling hot and super sassy owner of Taco Bout Love who is as extra as guac. Then out of the blue, Chloe plops her huge purple eyesore of a truck in my designated parking spot. I’m sorely tempted to have her truck towed, and her right along with it.

Unfortunately, Chloe’s as fierce as a ghost pepper, and she’s not going down without a fight. Before I know it, the only thing I’m certain of is that this woman drives me crazy… in the best way possible. What’s more is that I’m beginning to think I just might miss her when she’s gone.

Suddenly, I can’t seem to keep my hands off Chloe Brown… or her tacos.

ICU nurse Dani Davis has it all: a coveted job, a great condo, a surgeon boyfriend—though admittedly, things are a little shaky with the boyfriend. None of that matters when the beloved aunt who raised her falls ill. Dani races straight home to small-town Gladewater, Texas.

She almost doesn’t recognize her first love, Levi Cooper. He’s grown up and filled out in all kinds of mouthwatering ways, but one thing hasn’t changed: the painful mystery of why he left her heart in a million tiny pieces.

Levi never planned on setting foot back in Gladewater. The family farm is getting to be too much for his aging mother, so he reluctantly leaves his corner-office career to take the reins. The farm comes with a thousand problems, and twice as many memories—all of them bad, except for his memories of Dani, the first love he cut loose for her own good. But when he catches sight of her red curls and flashing green eyes, he can’t help but wonder if there’s any chance to rebuild her trust—and recapture the love that never died
