THE UNEXPECTED CARD

 

Josh Ives is the boss who goes on one business trip then comes back with the unexpected…

 

As co-owner of Ives & Wells, I’m ready to nail the most important business trip of my career. But does it have to include my business partner’s moody younger sister, Layla? Yes, it does, and she happens to be escorting me to New Orleans. As much as we hate each other, it isn’t completely crazy. Technically, she’s an employee and someone decided I should be her boss. But one fight after another leads us to an explosion in the bedroom… more than once.
I definitely wasn’t planning on nailing more than a good business deal on this trip.
Unfortunately, our plan to leave the antics in the bedroom and out of the office falls apart as soon as we return home. First, because some of our mutual talents can’t be forgotten. Two, because there is a business partner that may kill me as soon as he figures out what happened. And three, because some secrets can only be kept for so long, give or take nine months.
The Unexpected Card is the first standalone novel from the Mr. Boss series. This workplace romance is filled with banter, a swoony boss, steamy times, and surprises along the way.

THE BIG CHARMER

 

Logan Jax is the boss who plans to charm the off-limits nanny…

 

I probably shouldn’t have eyed the nanny like she was my next meal. But what guy living a bachelor’s life wouldn’t when your nanny looks like Sadie? I don’t get points for asking her to be my fake date, either. But I needed to close a billion-dollar deal. I definitely don’t get points for sleeping with the nanny. However, Sadie’s hand roamed, my hand roamed, and the rest is history.
My sister gave me one rule when my nephew was placed in my care. Don’t (literally!) screw up the arrangement with the supernanny.
And despite the sexy nanny trying to keep it professional, my charm wore her down, and although Sadie struts around in my shirt, clearly enjoying my cocky antics—it’s a problem. I’m positive she wants me, and I want her. But I don’t do relationships or family; I’m not the settling-down type, and that’s exactly what she wants…
The Big Charmer is the second standalone novel from the Mr. Boss series where you can revisit your favorite characters throughout. This feel-good story is filled with banter, a swoony boss, steamy times, and surprises along the way.

THE PERFECT DISTRACTION

 

Wes Bay is the boss who isn’t just a distraction, he’s her perfect distraction…

 

I didn’t mean to trick my little sister’s best friend into working for me. Okay, I totally did, but I need Emily. She’s the only person that can make my new restaurant business a success. Calling me boss and being in close proximity to me is purely a coincidental bonus. After all, there has been a time or two where our chemistry nearly combusted.
There is just one obstacle to my grand plan.
Emily has a firm career plan, and they don’t involve any entanglements with me. Nope. The last thing she thinks she needs is to add sleeping with her boss to the equation.
I, on the other hand, am betting on the fact that she could probably use a distraction—in the shape of me. Surely, all I need to do is throw in a little persuasion to ensure she doesn’t get away a third time…
This is the third standalone novel from the Mr. Boss series where you can revisit your favorite characters throughout. This feel-good story is filled with banter, a swoony boss, steamy times, and surprises along the way.

THE REAL DEAL

 

Cole Tate is the boss that isn’t used to faking it, and he’s not about to start…

 

It was never on my radar to have a woman living in my house, especially not one that shares my last name. But I’ve been eyeing a corporate takeover for the last year and Ruby, the newly Mrs. Cole Tate, just happens to be from the same friend circle, and is the daughter of the current company owner. She also holds the key to the extra board votes I need to win.
The spitfire beauty just needs to be married to make it happen. It’s in a ridiculous clause.
Luckily for me, Ruby has her own reasons for ensuring I succeed. So, we struck a deal and found ourselves as husband and wife. It’s a win-win and oh so easy…
Except living together is a constant game of taunting the other—clothing optional. Then there is the fact that we are quite good at faking our attraction in public. Soon our long talks don’t feel like pretend anymore. Not to mention, we decide to add benefits to the equation. And yep, we are excellent at those benefits too. Suddenly, what should have been an easy and temporary deal begins to look a little too real…
The Real Deal is the fourth and final standalone story in the Mr. Boss series where you can revisit your favorite characters throughout. This feel-good story is filled with banter, a swoony boss, steamy times, and surprises along the way.

Author: S.K. Mason
Genre: Contemporary Romance (novella)
Release Date: November 17, 2021
Cover Design: Kate Farlow

If sex and intimacy is anything based on the men around me, there’s not much to look forward to. But at nineteen, it’s getting harder and harder to pretend I’m normal when it comes to the bedroom.

 

After finding myself dating one too many douche-bags with a dislike for inexperienced girls, it’s time to take matter into my own hands and what better than to seek the help of a high-class escort to remedy my little “problem”.
The plan is simple enough. Get the V-card out of the way and get on with the rest of my life. What I don’t expect though, is the Aussie Hunk to completely shatter my perspective on sex, men, and pleasure in the process.
Jamie is mysterious. Charismatic. Experienced. He’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. But no matter what, he’s only mine for three days. Or is he?
 

 

 

SK Mason began writing stories in primary school, stories she would sell to her maternal grandmother for a treat. Her paternal grandmother, an avid romance reader, would let her read her Harlequin collection every summer, and soon SK Mason’s books took on a romance turn of their own.
Fast-forward thirty years later and SK Mason was born. A romance lover with a passion for “happily ever after” and pretty groovy ethical twists. In “real life” SK Mason is a little bit like Spiderman, Batman or Superman (and why the hell are all these characters male?!), boring by day, exciting by night. When she’s not working as a health professional, she’s writing stories about other professionals (yes, made up!) and with a gift for setting scenes in health and medical settings, her books aim to be sexy, adventurous, and thrilling romances.
Outside her writing and other professional endeavours, she’s spending time with her family in Australia. Her five children are her life and together they cook, swim and, play Beat-saber. Life doesn’t get better than that!

New Release ~ Home With You ~ by ~ Claudia Burgoa & Grahame Claire

An imaginary hedgehog fairy made me famous. A blizzard made me fall in love.

Home with You, an all new second chance holiday romance from USA Today bestselling authors Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire, is available now!

When I was a kid I used to doodle pictures of my best friend. Well, my best imaginary friend: Harley the Hedgehog Fairy. Turns out that making up stories about her catapulted me into children’s book stardom.

Now I’m living my dream and working from home. I’d rather spend my time creating stories than face the real world. Except, my agent has other plans. He’s booked me on a signing tour across the country. Six weeks outside of my comfort zone.

I thought that was painful – until I saw Morgan Bradford entering a bookstore holding the hand of a little girl. He told me he didn’t want commitment.

But I guess he didn’t want commitment with me. After five painful minutes, I see him off and hope we never cross paths again. I’m not that lucky.

A blizzard, a car accident and a concussion send me back to Winter Valley… And under Morgan’s care.

Maybe I am that lucky.

New Release ~ Knockout ~ by ~ Jessica Prince

Title: Knockout
Series: Whiskey Dolls
Author: Jessica Prince

Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance

It wasn’t fair that the man I hated with a passion was so freaking gorgeous.

Things in Layla Fox’s life were going great. She had a fantastic job, amazing friends, and a killer apartment. There was just one tiny glitch in all that perfect. Her upstairs neighbor was the very definition of tall, dark, and handsome . . . and she hated the man with every cell in her body.

Jude Kingsley was the most arrogant jerk she’d ever met, making the fact that she was attracted to him more than a little inconvenient.

When the two of them are forced together by Jude’s meddling grandmother, the bitter rivalry between the two feuding neighbors suddenly turns into something very different. And a raw, intense chemistry like theirs is bound to explode if they aren’t careful.

**Whiskey Dolls is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

The doors of the elevator slid open and the good mood I’d been in all day evaporated like a single drop of water falling onto desert sand.

“Of freaking course,” I grumbled sullenly as Jude Kingsley stepped into the elevator.

He returned my glare before stopping beside me and turned to face the front. “And I’d been having such a good day up to this point,” he muttered bitterly.

I let out a snort and fluttered my eyelashes. “What, did you pop a little kid’s balloon? Maybe cut in front of a pregnant lady in line at the coffee shop?” I snapped my fingers. “Oh, I know! You kicked a poor, innocent puppy on the sidewalk. That’s what had you so chipper, isn’t it?”

He gave me a smirk, and damn it, why did it have to look so good on him? The son of a bitch.

“I woke up happy,” he stated, and it would have been a lie if I claimed I didn’t find that admission somewhat intriguing.

Turning to face me, he took a step toward me, closing some of the distance between us. The move was unexpected, and my heartrate spiked at his closeness. The small elevator car suddenly felt even tinier, like the walls were closing in. The air was filled with his scent. Something like cedar and sun mixed with a spicy musk that reminded me of the outdoors. My chest stuttered on a choppy inhale when I tilted my head back to look up at him. In all the months we’d been enemies, this had to be the first time we’d been so close to each other.

With hardly any space between us, I was able to see that those midnight blue eyes of his also held flecks of golden honey. He blinked slowly as he stared down at me, those long, sooty lashes lying across his sharp cheekbones before he opened them again.

“I had the best dream last night.” He stopped, waiting for me to ask what he dreamed about, like he knew that statement and his proximity had left me way off-kilter, my curiosity piqued.

Stupid intuitive jerk.

Unable to help myself, I arched a questioning brow. “Oh?”

His voice dropped lower, taking on an almost velvety soft quality. “Yeah. You were in it, princess.”

My skin felt tingly, my mouth was Sahara dry. I didn’t feel like myself all of a sudden. It was almost as if he’d cast a spell, and I was just along for the ride, unable—or maybe unwilling at that point—to take control back. It was those eyes, man. Those freaking dark, alluring, sexy bedroom eyes. There wasn’t a woman in the world who’d be able to resist their power up close. Not even me.

I tried to swallow past the cotton taking up residence in my throat and croaked, “What—what was your dream about?”

He started speaking in a tone that could only be described as intoxicating. “Well, you see, it was a beautiful, sunny day, and we were standing on the sidewalk outside the building. You were in these jeans that made your ass look incredible.” His tongue peeked out and swiped across his plump bottom lip. “I couldn’t stop staring. Then . . . ”

I was straight up enraptured at that moment.

Oh my God. What is happening right now? “Then what?”

“Then . . . you stepped off the curb and got hit by a bus.” It was like a bucket of ice water being dumped over my head. Whatever voodoo he was working broke right then, and I remembered instantly that I wanted this man to die by a thousand papercuts—preferable by my hand.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Exclusive Excerpt:

The last day of our babymoon coincides with the one-year anniversary of our vow renewal wedding. I originally thought our trip was to mark the occasion. So I brought my gift for Lachlan hidden in my handbag.

When he comes out of the shower with a towel slung low around his narrow hips and his treasure trail dipping beneath it, I nearly forget my thought. His chuckle as he dries his hair with another towel brings my focus back from the outline of his big dick beneath the terrycloth.

I blink, and he laughs some more as he drops the towels to the white tile floor.

“See something you crave, My Lady?” He asks as his dick bobs with each step towards me.

Mutely I nod. Then squeak when he pounces onto the bed. He lands on his hands and knees on either side of my legs, with his face inches from mine. He rubs his nose to mine and purrs.

“Tell me your wish, My Lady,” he demands.

I palm the sides of his face and whisper, “Forever and a day with you, My Lord.”

His eyes shine before he slants his mouth over mine. The kiss is deep and full of emotion. When he passes for a breath, I press my finger to his lips.

He cocks his eyebrow.

I smile as I reach behind my pillow and lift the gift-wrapped box between us.

“What’s this?” He asks as he takes the box and sits beside me.

I grin wider and respond, “Happy vow renewal wedding anniversary, My Lord!”

He drops his head back with a groan.

“I was so focused on your—I mean our babymoon, today’s date slipped past me. Do you forgive me?”

I pretend to pout but can’t hold back my giggles.

“Of course! Don’t be silly,” I answer. “Now, open your present.”

My husband pulls the green and blue ribbon and ties it in a bow around my neck. Then he kisses me and tells me I’m the only present he’ll ever want before he winks and tears through the metallic green paper.

He pauses when the green box for Rolex watches appears.

“Go on!” I urge.

He nods and presses the closure. Then gapes.

“It’s the 1971 Cosmograph Daytona Reference 6265, also known as ‘The Unicorn.’ Do you know why I choose it for you?” I ask, so excited I grin like a loon.

He shakes his head.

“It’s the only known white gold, manual-winding Daytona ever crafted by Rolex. So it’s extremely rare. Just like you, and our love that withstood years of us being apart only for us to be together forever. Not only are you the hero in my childhood fantasies. But you are the unicorn in my real life. I love you, Lachlan Jackson,” I say.

My words end on a sob. But it’s not from the hormones. I truly love my man with all of my heart.

Tears in his eyes match mine as he pulls me onto his lap and buries his face in my neck. His shoulders shake as he cries softly against my skin. Instinctively, I stroke his back and hum the Scottish lullaby he taught to me. It soothes him when, moments later, he sits back and cups my face.

“You, Haley Jackson, are my life and my soul. The mother of my children. I honor you and I love you for all of eternity,” he says gruffly.

Through my tears, I repeat his words, changing them for his name and father.

We spend the rest of the morning in bed, honoring and loving one another.

And as I expected, we have the most ah-mazing babymoon ever!

Excerpt

Copyright 2021 Michele Pariza Wacek

“Why are you here again?” Officer Brandon Wyle asked me, his chair squeaking as he shifted his lean, lanky figure into a more comfortable position. His dark hair was longer than he normally wore it, curling around his collar and into curtain bangs that he absentmindedly brushed off his forehead. I found myself wondering if this was a new hairstyle, or if he kept forgetting to make an appointment with a stylist. His expression was carefully blank, but his dark eyes didn’t miss a thing.

I hadn’t quite figured it out myself, but was doing my best to sound more confident than I felt. The longer I sat there, the more convinced I was that it was a huge mistake. But at that point, it would have been even worse if I’d left, so I had to brazen my way through it. “She’s my client,” I said, which was true. She had bought some tea from me. Once. “And you’ve seen her condition.”

Wyle’s eyebrows went up. “Condition? You mean her pregnancy?”

“Exactly. Stress isn’t good for mothers-to-be. Well, stress isn’t good for any of us, but it’s especially not good when you’re pregnant. And she’s already dealing with the stress of losing her husband …”

“Who she likely poisoned,” Wyle said.

Now it was my turn to raise eyebrows. “Are you saying she’s a suspect?”

More squeaking as he moved again. We were sitting by his desk, which was tucked away in the corner of the police station. The room was too hot—Wyle had mentioned there was something wrong with the heater—but the combination of the heat, cigarette smoke, and the burnt-coffee-old-sweat odor made my stomach turn. Even though we weren’t alone, no one appeared to be paying any attention to us. The constant collective noise of the phone ringing, typewriters clacking, and people talking filled the space. “Oh come on, Charlie. You’re smarter than this. Everyone is a suspect in the beginning. Heck, you even made the list.”

I was aghast. “Me?”

“Yes, you. Don’t you think it’s pretty suspicious you’re even in here?”

“I never even met Dennis,” I said.

“You don’t need to meet the guy to sell his wife some poison.”

“I don’t sell poison,” I said firmly, deciding I would definitely not be mentioning Courtney’s request for something to kill her husband to Wyle. “I sell teas and tinctures.”

“Uh huh.” Wyle tapped his pen on his notebook, which was balanced precariously on top of a stack of paperwork. His eyes continued to study me.

About Michele Pariza Wacek

When Michele was 3 years old, she taught herself to read because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but she does spend much of her time writing stories now. Mystery stories to be exact, ranging from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she also hosts a virtual book club you can check out and join (for free!) at MPWNovels.com.

Michele holds a double major in English and Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently she lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband Paul and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

I am the ruler of the Cain empire—a legacy built from the blood and bone of others. Here in my kingdom, only the strongest survive, and only the wicked can thrive.

That’s why I took my father’s life before he had a chance to take mine. But my life doesn’t flow through my veins. It flows through hers, the girl he tried to take from me. The woman I’ve stained my hands in blood for.

My most prized possession. My weakness. My butterfly.

She thinks I’m her savior, and I’ll burn kingdoms to the ground to keep it that way.
