Cade

When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.
So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.
To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.
The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.
Oaklee
Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.
Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.
Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.
Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.

New Release ~ Break the Girl ~ by ~ Jade C. Jamison

Title: Break the Girl
Author: Jade C. Jamison
Genre: Contemporary Romance; New Adult Romance
Tropes: Rock Star Romance; Age Gap; Forced Proximity; Fake Relationship
Release Date: March 10, 2026


He’s the man the music world forgot.
She’s the one it refuses to forgive.

When thirty-eight-year-old former rock legend turned producer Quentin Russo agrees to help salvage the career of Raine Dennison—a Gen Z pop-punk star clawing her way back from public collapse—he expects a paycheck and a shot at professional redemption.

What he doesn’t expect is her.

Raine’s talent is undeniable. So are the scars she hides beneath her bravado. And, as Quentin pushes her to tell the truth in her music, he finds himself confronting the very demons that once destroyed his own career.

Their creative chemistry is volatile.
Their attraction is reckless.

And the label has a plan to exploit it.

They want a fake romance to sell the comeback.
But real feelings don’t follow a well-laid-out plan.

In an industry that feeds on spectacle, where one mistake can go viral and forgiveness is never guaranteed, falling for each other could cost them everything—or force them to decide what’s really worth losing.

Break the Girl is a raw, emotional rockstar romance perfect for fans of A Star Is Born and Jamison’s Wilder Love.




“They canceled all my tour dates and threatened to not record the third album…and that’s why they sent me here.”

Raine clasped her hands together in her lap again and let out a small breath. Although Quentin had been quiet, she had no doubt he was judging her—and maybe even believing she was full of shit.

When she looked up, he finally spoke. Even though his voice was quiet, it felt like thunder. “Was there ever a time, through any of that, where you felt like you could say no?”

Two tears dropped at almost the same time, but she pursed her lips together, forcing them to stop quivering. And then she said, “No. And I know the media had a heyday with what happened at the concert, saying my partying had finally gone too far—but that wasn’t fucking it. Obviously, they hadn’t listened to a goddamn thing I’d said.” Letting out a long breath, feeling like now she was in control, she shifted her eyes from Quentin to her hands again. “They just couldn’t see that I was trying to escape my reality. Instead, it was just a big fucking joke.”

When she looked up at Quentin again, he gave her a soft nod, his eyes telling her that he believed her—and he saw her.

In fisherman tales, there’s always talk about the one that got away… This is that story.

When they were in high school, Brock and Courtney felt they were destined to be together. They’d had their future all mapped out. Until a week before graduation, when two pink lines changed everything, diverting the course of the life they’d planned.

Young and scared, Courtney made the impossible decision to keep it a secret and leave their hometown, never planning to return, and breaking both their hearts in the process.

And for years, her plan works. Until her abusive father dies, leaving her mother rudderless in her newfound freedom. Returning home with her secret daughter is the only answer. But what will happen when she comes face-to-face with the past she’s tried so hard to forget but couldn’t?

Thirteen years after the only woman Brock has ever loved ran from the small Alaskan island they’d called home, he learns she’s back—with a preteen daughter. Too many emotions and unanswered questions hang heavy between them. And when the answers are brought to light, the chasm between them widens further. Will it be possible for them to reconcile for their daughter’s sake?

Paisley

 

One minute I’m sitting at the ballpark chatting with a handsome stranger, the next his lips are on mine and sparks are flying, while the whole world watches us reach first base on the kiss cam.
As the daughter of a former professional baseball player, I know all too well what it’s like living in front of the lens. Which is why I chose a career behind the scenes and away from the spotlight—that included my love life.
Post-kiss, I never expected to see Cameron Taylor again and certainly not playing for my team. I might want him more than my next breath, but I’m not willing to jeopardize either of our careers to make it to second base.
Cameron
A rare day of relaxing at the ballpark turns out to be so much more. I can’t take my eyes off the gorgeous brunette sitting next to me. The only thing hotter than her perfect pink lips is listening to her talk baseball.
Life throws me a curve ball when I get called up to the majors and Paisley Monroe is introduced to me as the team trainer. She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met—beautiful, passionate, driven, and off-limits.
When the media goes into a frenzy over our relationship, the rules change. But the love I have for Paisley goes beyond my love of the game, I don’t need the kiss cam to tell the world that she’s mine. I can do that all on my own.

Danica Rawlins

 

She’s a career woman, constantly busy, under pressure, and in demand. But the job that once seemed like a dream to her now feels more like a nightmare.
When the stress gets too much, she escapes the office and drives, discovering beauty in the wide-open spaces that surround her in the country. Leaving the worries behind, if only temporarily.
The last thing she expected to find was him.
Noah Edwards
He left the big city behind him long ago and forged a different path. One of earth and sky instead of steel and smog. Acres of plants instead of thousands of people.
The day she stumbled into his life, everything changed.
He saw his former life in her.
And when he looked in her eyes, he saw his future.
He was determined to save her.
Show her a life she never dreamed existed—and a love that would enrich them both.

 

 

“And what do you do, Noah?”

He grinned. “I pick vegetables and help out pretty ladies in distress.”

I shook my head.

He sighed. “I do a lot of things, Dani. I work in the store, the restaurant, the fields…like I said before, I wear many hats.” He turned to me, his eyes serious. “You thought I was just a stock boy.”

“You sort of let me think that.”

He smiled. “It was rather endearing, to be honest. The way you kept getting worried about me being in trouble.” He lifted his hand, wrapping a long strand of my hair around his finger and tugging it. “I kinda liked that.” His voice lowered and he shifted closer. “I liked the fact that you came back, even if you thought I was just a stock boy.”

“I couldn’t stay away, Noah. I think—” I swallowed, my voice sounding husky even to my ears “—I think you’re too special to be ‘just’ anything.”

He slipped his hand around my neck, his long fingers warm on my skin. “Dani,” he whispered. He ducked his head, his breath blowing over my face. He was so close, his hair was a brilliant kaleidoscope of color around his face, dancing in the breeze. He hesitated, then pressed closer, and my eyes drifted shut as I felt the heat of him against me.

His lips touched mine. Brushed gently, teasing me with his tenderness.

Once. Twice. Then again.
