From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming.

As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers.

But this assignment was different from any before it.

From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

Despite the fact that Dax had booked a massage, it never actually happened, since our first appointment was unexpectedly cut short by a comedy of errors.

Certain I’d never see him again after that day, I’d done nothing but think about the captivating man.

To my surprise, he called a second time. That appointment, we talked a lot, developing a stronger connection. But once again, there was no actual massage.

The man I now affectionately called “Moody” kept calling me to come back.

It took three times before I finally gave him the massage he’d ordered. Let’s just say it was challenging to keep things professional. I was extremely attracted to Dax, and by that time, I was falling hard.

Eventually, I’d find out why he’d been so aloof, the reason why he and I could never be together.

Our story was supposed to end there, but it didn’t.

Instead, I was left perpetually longing for a forbidden man.

New Release ~ The Redo ~ by ~ Max Monroe

Title: The Redo

Author: Max Monroe

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: July 17, 2022

Cover Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography

Cover Model: Andrew Biernat

Put a finger down if you’ve ever been a single woman who got stuck in a New York City elevator in the middle of a summer blackout with your former high school sweetheart—whom you haven’t seen in years—while pregnant with a baby that isn’t biologically yours. And you can’t believe how handsome that blast from your past is, so you unwittingly flirt with him a little even though your life is so crazy complicated you’re barely keeping your head above water, but everything about him makes you think you could totally still be in love with him.

*puts a finger down*

What? Just me?

Needless to say, my current status is thorny. And no, I didn’t miss how close that word is to another one.

Even though he’s the epitome of tall, dark, and incredibly handsome, Remington Winslow has been a single bachelor for most of his life. It’s clichéd and basic—until you consider the fact that once upon a terrible time, he got left at the altar.

He doesn’t do relationships. He definitely doesn’t fall in love.

And I’m just trying to survive a tangled web of unexpected motherhood and running one of the top real estate firms in the city that never sleeps.

He’s the jaded guy who doesn’t want to settle down, and I’m the career-focused woman with more baggage than a 747 can hold.

We’re just two friends who used to be in love.

Now, if someone would tell my hormones I’m not a teenager anymore, I’d be set.

Many moons ago, a dynamic duo of romance authors teamed up under the pseudonym Max Monroe, and, well, the rest is history…

Max Monroe is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of more than thirty contemporary romance titles. Favorite writing partners and long time friends, Max and Monroe strive to live and write all the fun, sexy swoon so often missing from their Facebook newsfeed. Sarcastic by nature, their two writing souls feel like they’ve found their other half. This is their most favorite adventure thus far.

I peer around the corner and see the gunman. He tells the other man to go look for the old woman. I don’t hear Margot’s voice and I don’t know where she is.
The gunman responds, “Go ahead. Then I’ll shoot your dog and he will be dead.”
I don’t think so. I’m close enough to see the scene unfolding in the kitchen. I take in a breath and hold it to steady my hands. My shots are spot-on when I’m in my center.
Poppy cries, and it guts me. Seconds before I’m ready to enter the kitchen and put a stop to the gunman, Margot shows up with her shotgun. She fires a shot, throwing the gunman off-balance.
Poppy gives Ozzie the command to attack in Dutch. “Aanval!”
Ozzie doesn’t hesitate, jumping for the gunman’s hand holding the gun. He knocks him to the ground as the man tries to get his wrist free from the dog’s mouth.
I turn to Poppy. “Go to the small barn and get in the car. Stay there,” I say to her in French, hoping they only speak German.
She gives me a curious look.
“Run, now!”
She bolts out of the room, holding her kitten in her arms. I turn around to see Ozzie distracted because Poppy has left and long enough for the gunman to jerk his hand free. He sits up and aims at Ozzie and I take my shot. The bullet hits him right between the eyes and Ozzie runs after Poppy.
I have zero tolerance for anyone who threatens children or animals. I turn around and Margot is nowhere to be found.

She leans up and softly kisses me like I did to her moments ago. Tentatively, like she isn’t sure what I’ll do next. Maybe my words haven’t convinced her yet that I’m not going to freak out and push her away like I did last night. That’s about to be rectified.

I band my arms around her and pull her harder into me, hearing a sweet gasp escape her beautiful mouth. The mouth I can’t stop wanting to devour.

“I want to make this perfectly clear to you now, Sunshine. I want this. I want you and all that entails. The shit that happened last night won’t happen again. I’m not afraid and I’m not going to push you away. The way I see it, we’ve both got shit to figure out and get over, but that’s just part of life. I want to start living life. I want everything you are, even the so-called damaged parts. They match mine,” I say as my eyes bore into hers.

It hits me like a shot to the heart just how true that statement is. Both of us are waiting for the next tragedy, the next boogeyman, to get us as she described it. We’re both waiting for the next person we love to be taken from us. Look where that’s gotten us. Alone, scared, and angry. God, I want to turn that around. I want us to have something good that we don’t have to be afraid of losing.

New Release ~ One More Kiss ~ by ~ Loren Beeson

Title: One More Kiss

Series: a Topica Bay Novel

Author: Loren Beeson

Genre: Contemporary Romance/Age Gap Fake Dating Romance

Release Date: July 14, 2022

I’m homeless in paradise.

What’s a girl to do when her stepfather cuts her off from the family finances?

Accept an offer to room with a sexy—albeit grumpy—divorcé, of course. Damon Carlisle just might have it all. He’s a senior developer of one of the hottest dating apps in the country for starters, and he’s got that whole twelve-years-older-than-me, broody-loner thing going for him. But going through a breakup means I’m in need of a solo vacation, and I won’t be giving in to temptation where Damon’s concerned. This heart of mine is closed for the summer, and no amount of fake dating is going to fix it.

When it rains, it pours.

Not always a bad thing, right? I’m on a two-week beach vacation—away from my cheating ex-wife—and soaking up the sun. Bonus, I’m set to accept an award for the countless hours and dedication I’ve given to my team. But while I should be elated… I feel utterly empty.

When Kate dances her way into what’s supposed to be my chance at a little R & R, something dormant inside my soul awakens. Having fun with her isn’t part of our agreement, and kissing her certainly isn’t either. But I can’t help myself. I can’t get enough of Miss Katelynn Harris, and she just might ruin me.

An Age Gap Fake Dating Romance

One More Kiss is a full-length standalone summer romance and can be enjoyed in any reading order.

Too bad he’s an adorably clueless idiot who a) just doesn’t see what everyone else sees and b) abides by the rule of ‘don’t screw the crew’s sisters, daughters, or exes.’ And since London’s dad is his fire captain, that puts her firmly in the do not touch category.

Then one night, London decides to throw caution to the wind and kisses him, finding her unequivocally placed in the friend zone.

That’s when London decides that maybe it’s time to move on.

Except fate decides to have the last laugh, calling Luca to the scene of a fire at the very same restaurant where London is on a secret blind date, bringing him face-to-face with the reality that he could lose his girl.

Suddenly all bets are off.

Besides, bending the rules isn’t the same as breaking them… right?

“Lonnie’s the one who met Luca Rossi and fell head over heels at first sight,” my sister Violet declares.

“That’s old news, Vi,” I mumble, my cheeks burning hot.

“Hey. It’s cute. Kinda adorable. And even after you went away and came back, you’re still friends with him, despite everything.”

“Despite nothing. He’s gone from ‘no, I don’t see you like that’ to ‘I’m going to drop two thousand big ones and give you the date of your dreams with the man of your dreams then give you the best sex of your life and—’” I slap my hand over my mouth, my wide eyes slowly scanning the amused and approving faces of my friends and family.

“I knew it!” Val says. “It’s still eww because he’s my brother, but good on Luc. At least he’s got that working for him. The rest can be a work-in-progress.”

“As much as I hate to admit it, if you’ve got chemistry, respect, honesty, and yes—hot sex—anything is possible, ” Skye adds.

I sigh. “Do I have honesty though? Because he took three years to make a move after more than a few chances.”

Renee shrugs. “Maybe he’s just slow on the uptake.”

“More like a damn snail,” Val says.

Skye giggles. “Or a sloth.”

Val’s brows furrow “Is a sloth slower than a snail?”

“Wait. Let’s look it up.”

BJ Harvey is the USA Today Bestselling Author of angsty contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and sometimes a little bit of romance suspense. She regards herself as a smut peddler, suspense conjurer, and a funny romance thinker upper. An avid music fan, you will always find her singing some hit song badly and loving every minute of it.

Life hasn’t been easy for Beth, and her sexy new neighbor isn’t making it any easier.

When she inherits a beautiful old barn on the outskirts of Mason Creek, things are looking up—until she meets the stubborn cowboy next door. Turns out, he’s the absentee grandson of the man she was caring for. He got the house; she got the barn. The problem? A single driveway shared between the two.

In order to turn the property into her dream venue, she’ll have to make a deal with the handsome devil standing in her way. Access to the driveway in exchange for a date? Seems like a fair price. Except all isn’t fair in love and war—not in these parts, anyway. And making a perfect pact with a charming stranger could cost her something she can’t afford to lose… her heart.

I look up into his handsome face. His long hair is tucked into a beanie. His green eyes bore into mine with the most devastatingly concerned look. His lips curl into an encouraging smile, causing his dimples to pop out beneath a day’s worth of stubble. God, how I love him. He’s all quiet strength and comfort.

Effortless cool which comes from within.

I need him. So badly.

There’s no one on earth who makes me feel safer.

Kaylene Winter wrote her first Rock Star Romance novel at age 15 starring a fictionalized version of herself, her friends and their gorgeous rocker boyfriends.

After living her own rockstar life as a band manager, music promoter and mover and shaker in Seattle during the early 1990’s, Kaylene became a digital media legal strategist helping bring movies, television and music online.

Throughout her busy career, Kaylene lost herself in romance novels across all genres inspiring her to realize her life-long dream to write creatively.

In 2020, she published ENDLESS – Book 1 in the popular Less Than Zero series. She lives in Seattle with her amazing husband and Siberian Husky. She loves to travel and support charitable causes supporting arts and animals.
