New Release ~ Arrogant Architect ~ by ~ Alexa Padgett

♦ ♦ ♦

A sexy, new forbidden romance from USA Today bestselling author Alexa Padgett. For the first time in years, I want… I want Knox Wright. My best friend’s brother, my boss…the man who breaks my still-shattered heart. Knox was a college hockey legend and, now, he’s one of the most successful architects in decades. I was the new hire whose desperate need to move on from that night drove me to succeed. I never should have accepted the position, not once I looked into Knox Wright’s eyes and felt the heat deep in my belly…but I did. Because Knox makes me feel alive. And as I fall under Knox’s spell, our relationship turns intense and deep…and secret. When our affair runs the risk of being exposed, I face a far more intimate betrayal than I ever expected.

New Release ~ Magnetic Medic ~ by ~ Alexa Padgett

♦ ♦ ♦

A sexy, new brother’s best friend romance from USA Today bestselling author Alexa Padgett. He’s my brother’s childhood friend. I’m pregnant with another man’s baby. What a time to fall in love… Coming home seemed like a good idea at the time. My ex-fiancé split, I was almost done with my master’s degree, and I was already working at the family architecture firm. When I move in next door to pediatrician Ryder Mackay, I’m not expecting the connection—or the passion in his eyes that I feel deep in my soul. He’s the best doctor for my baby, but he’s not the guy I need. Still, the way Ryder looks snuggling my puppy—and my infant daughter—to his rock-hard chest makes me wish this sexy, smart, compassionate man was mine. Maybe, it’s pregnancy hormones. Or…maybe this magnetic pull is forever.

I glanced at the clock. It was five-thirty in the morning. I was too hungry to worry about niceties. I grabbed my keys and walked across the hall, knocking on his door. Rosie at my heels.

I tapped my foot, irritated with the wait. He finally opened it, hair in disarray, sprouting in all directions from his head, eyes bleary.

“Aidy. Are you okay?”

“I’m not in labor. I’m hungry.” I bypassed him and beelined to his kitchen, which was the same clean granite-and-white appliances as mine.

Once again, Rosie followed. I gasped in delight as I grabbed a loaf of bread. I pulled out a slice and shoved it in my mouth, chewing furiously.

“Want an omelet?” he asked.

I glanced back to see him kneeling on the floor, his large hand stroking my puppy’s shiny fur. My heart melted and my vagina tried to take notice. But I refused to acknowledge all his bare skin and sleek muscle next to puppy preciousness. I was on a mission.

“You know, some protein to go with those carbs?” he asked.

“Make it quick,” I said. “Or I might eat your arm instead.”

He chuckled even as he stood. “Give me a sec.”

Oh, my. My cheeks flamed as I took in the broad expanse of his nude back. Ryder’s broad shoulders tapered to narrow hips, and all the way down, my gaze caught on interesting ridges and swells that slid into the valley of his spine. He worked out. Often. No other way he’d have that body. I stood by my original assessment that he looked like the Men’s Health model. Only even more defined and sexier.

My gaze dropped further.

“Um, I didn’t interrupt anything, did I?” I asked, my eyes still on his fabulous ass encased in the thin cotton barrier of his boxer briefs. Oh, hell, they were Calvin Kleins. I would forever have a deep-seated love for the brand thanks to their perfect framing of Ryder Mackay’s ass.

“Yes.”

Oh my…he’d brought her here.

My stomach tried to turn itself inside out, but then it grumbled. Fuck it. If he were getting action, I definitely deserved this loaf of bread and a good ogling for my fantasies.

He started to turn toward me, and I barely managed to drag my eyes up before he caught me ogling.

“I’m sorry,” I said. I shoved part of the slice of bread in my mouth and snagged a banana and an apple from his counter, which I piled atop the loaf of bread. I headed toward the door, saying, “Apologies for interrupting…ah…yeah, well. Bye.”

He cocked his head to the side, clearly unable to understand me through my slice of bread and my mumbled shame. Rosie whined. I glared at her.

No, traitor, we could not stay for more petting.

“I was sleeping.”

Sales Blitz ~ Deep in the Heart ~ by ~ Alexa Padgett

A steamy, emotional romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Alexa Padgett.

Remembering the music I love… lets me forget a past that haunts me.

I thought realizing my dream of country music stardom would chase away the ghosts of the past. But I didn’t understand how the horrors of war would imprint their scars on my heart… leaving me a shadow of the man I used to be.

Haunted by regret, filled with a rage I can’t control, I destroy my favorite guitar.

A J. Olsen original. The only instrument that allows my fingers to caress my music into creation.

Now, I need a new one, and in order to get it fast, I have to work with her—Jenna. She stirs something deep inside me. Something I haven’t felt in years.

When I stare into her breathtaking eyes for the first time, I see struggles that echo my own. The kind of torment that colors a woman’s soul. But I’m drawn to her—I just can’t stay away.

As our emotions start to blossom, creating a magic that rivals the music, Jenna’s dangerous ex reappears to play a reckless game. Between his lust for revenge and the unreasonable demands of my record label, we can’t catch our big break.

And unless we can both heal the wounds that remain shuttered in darkness, we’ll lose everything.

Be a deer, be a deer,” I whispered, even as my palms began to sweat, and my heart slammed against my ribs. “Or a mountain lion. Or…” I trailed off because the long, tangled honey-colored hair was clearly attached to a human head, and, as I inched closer, I ascertained that the body attached to that head and hair was in the shape of a woman. A small one, maybe even tinier than my little sister. She wasn’t dressed for the winter chill. I pulled over, trying to swallow past the dryness in my mouth as I pocketed the car keys. Not what I had in mind when I thought about shaking up my situation. I’d been considering online dating. Whatever this was, it was way outside my area of expertise. I exited the vehicle, taking slow, measured steps toward her. I gulped down the fear that sizzled in my guts. “Um… Miss?” No response. My stomach iced over. What if she were dead? Had she been hit by a car? I leaned down and noted the bloodstain around her thigh. Shit. That couldn’t be good. I tugged at the edge of her pants and grimaced at the sight of her ragged flesh. All right. An injury of this magnitude I could deal with. It was above her knee and long—but it wasn’t too deep, through the outer layer of flesh, and the edges of the wound had already begun to scab over. I headed back to my car and pulled out a T-shirt. I ripped it into long strips and then made a pad out of the remainder. I placed the pad against her leg and then wrapped the strips around her thigh, securing the knots. “No. Don’t touch me,” she said. The words were a moaning whisper, a bit too thready. “You hurt me, Howie.” Howie? The only Howie I knew was engaged…no…married to Kara.

New Release ~ Austin By Morning ~ by ~ Alexa Padgett

Another sultry New Adult Romance from USA Today Bestseller Author Alexa Padgett.

From the moment I see Kate Grace, I can’t wait to find out if what they say about redheads is true… Not only are her wild ringlets entrancing, she’s sweet and sassy, with slower, sexier curves than a Texas back road.

Too bad she’s also country music star Camden Grace’s baby sister. Camden holds my chance at a comeback in his hands, and he doesn’t want me–or my bad attitude–anywhere near Kate.

I don’t have time for all these thoughts about Kate, anyway. I need to be focused on my son’s future. I’ll do anything for Ike. Anything.

Even if that means giving up my dreams of a music career and another chance to kiss Kate’s soft, luscious lips. Ike’s future–his ability to see–comes first. I promised, and my word is my vow. I’ll never, ever break it.

Yes, even if I have to give up a chance to work with the biggest names in the music industry, and even if I have to walk away from the only woman I’ll ever love…
