From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love… 

 

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.
Fast forward a decade.
We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.
It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.
But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.
And he was torn.
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.
Still, I assumed he would never…go there. 
Nathan would kill us.
The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.
Eventually our slow burn exploded.
But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.
We just couldn’t get caught, right?
That sounded simple.
Until it wasn’t.
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Charging by Elise Faber is now live!

Once upon a time she’d been an intern. Once upon a time he’d been a rookie. Then he’d broken her heart. Well, not just broken it. He’d torn it to shreds. Shattered it. Freaking nuked it. But now Charlotte was older. Leaner. Meaner. Okay, so the last wasn’t really true, but she’d certainly spent the eight years since her fling with one Logan Walker—star defenseman and that former rookie—building fortified walls around her heart at the same rate she built her career. She was great at building. Great at winning. So much so that she’d become the new GM for the Gold—a GM who was quite possibly going insane because she’d decided to bring Logan to the team. Her heart aside, the team needed his skills to win, needed him to plug a hole in the roster. What she didn’t need? Logan deciding that the hole he wanted to plug was the one he’d created in her heart all those years before.
About the Author: USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys. She lives in Northern California.

New Release & Review ~ Shopping for a Yankee Swap ~ by ~ Julia Kent

Christmas is nostalgia heaven for my family (unless you count the Christmas tree fire last year, which we won’t…).

Mom owns more holiday decorations than twelve area malls combined. Dad prides himself on hand-chopping the best live tree, while my older sister perfected peppermint cookies to the point of unparalleled bliss, and my younger sister has memorized every Christmas carol with her fingers for a piano bash that goes on and on.

And on.

But this year, Christmas is different.

This year, the McCormick men are joining the Yankee Swap.

You know how it works, right? Bring the craziest gift you can possibly find, pick a number, open the presents in order and play “steal the gift” until person Number One gets one last chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

My husband, Declan, is on a mission to win. He’s so sure he can find the absolutely, positively, unreservedly weirdest gift that he’s willing to go to any extreme to find it.

Any extreme.

That’s right.

He’s going thrift store shopping with my mother. The billionaire and the frugal queen are on a quest.

Only one will win.

And on Christmas evening, after we’re stuffed silly, sung out, the kids fall asleep and the adults break out the bizarre presents and the alcohol, it’ll be showtime.

Because there ain’t no competition like a McCormick competition.

But the Jacoby family has a trick or ten up its sleeves, too.

Declan and Shannon are back in yet another hilarious Christmas family saga in Julia Kent’s New York Times bestselling romantic comedy series.

It’s a competitive Yankee Swap – what could go wrong? Read and find out 😉 .

 

   

 

Welcome back to the crazy world of Shannon and Declan! I never realize how much I miss these characters until I read the latest installment of their story. And then it makes me want to go back and read the start of the series with Shannon mystery shopping. Which I might just do because why not?

I’d never heard of a Yankee Swap, so I’m glad it was explained. It’s essentially what I know as a white elephant party/gift. This year, the Jacoby Christmas tradition will include the McCormicks. BUT in true McCormick fashion, it’s a competition over who can get the most ridiculous gift within the parameters.

If you’ve read this series, you know the hilarity that can ensue and certainly does in this latest installment. Between the crazy Jacoby family, to the staunchness of the McCormick men, there are tons of laugh out loud moments that only the “Shopping” series can bring.

5 stars!

I’m infuriated by my feelings for her…

 

They’ve held me captive all this time.
I might have been the one that walked away, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still haunted by her— by what I did to her.
But that’s the thing about ghosts… they always return when you least expect it.
My step-sister was an outlet for my pain, but everything has changed.
Now, I’ve got nothing to lose.
If she thought I hated her the first time we met, then she’s about to get a shock.
The rage I felt didn’t compare to the fury that now consumes me.
I might be empty, but I’m going to show her how it feels by taking away everything she has… one painful piece at a time.

Lincoln was my addiction. He was the only man I’d ever been with. Loving him had been like a drug, complete with all the nasty side effects. When I had him, it felt like the greatest high. When I didn’t, it was like my world fell apart. Over the years, I’d realized so much of my time had been a craving-praying for the next hit. Was there a support group for this—In Love Anonymous? If so, I suppose I was working through my steps. I admitted I had a problem, and I wasn’t using anymore. Maybe I was delusional that there was a cure for this kind of sickness?

 

I met the love of my life at fifteen. He left for the Army when I was sixteen. We dated long distance. Made love for the first time on leave. We married on leave too. So much of our life had been spent apart, so when Linc made a decision that took him away from me for years, sending him to prison, I was done. How many times could our life be put on hold? I knew I deserved to live my life with a partner; not love one who couldn’t stick around.
Now, Lincoln is out and I have to finally put an end to this… to us. A family tragedy forces us together again and we confront what tore us apart. I’m faced with the hardest decision of my life. Should I forgive or should I finally let go and let him have this last goodbye?

Crazy eyes. 

You know the ones.
The empty, soulless eyes of a person who has nothing left inside.
Nothing but a bottomless pit of insanity and desperation.
Their eyes lose the sparkle, the very thing that makes them who they are.
In their place, you’ll find nothing more than bitterness.
I have those eyes.
That same broken soul.
The only problem is, I can’t escape it.
I died.
At least, that’s what they thought.
I changed my life.
I started anew.
But she found me.
Now the lies I’ve kept wound deeply in my chest, are unravelling.
The truth has been set free.
The person they thought I was…is no longer.
The person she thought I was…has disappeared.
Time is running out for me to get her back.
The clock is nearing its end.
I thought I had to fight before. Now, I’m about to learn the true meaning of fight.
And they’re about to learn the very darkest parts of me.
They had better strap in.
It’s going to be a wild ride.
