Fallen by Rebecca Barber https://geni.us/FallenEH

When Zach Higgins rolled out of bed to go start his shift at the firehouse this morning, he never thought he’d end his day falling in love.

All it took was one flutter of her tiny eyelashes and Zach was wrapped around her chubby little finger.

The last thing Zach wanted to do was hand her over to a stranger. That was until the woman of his dreams turned up in her petticoat and pearls to take the baby home.

—

Lily Evans always wanted to be a mother. She’s dreamt of the day she got to hold her baby in her arms and sing lullabies as they drifted off to sleep.

But the world had other plans for Lily and her motherhood dreams.

When an opportunity to foster an abandoned baby arises, she jumps at the chance.

What Lily doesn’t expect is to find her in the arms of a shirtless, sexy as sin, tattooed firefighter with an accent.

This Aussie firefighter sets her on fire in ways she’d rather not admit to. Lily was not prepared for Zach to turn her world upside down but was he everything she’d been waiting for?

Fractured by Laine Vess https://geni.us/FracturedEHW

Marzia Kiel has returned to Sunnyville, though she vowed she never would. The ghosts there that haunt her are plenty, but she’s willing to face them when her aging mother needs her. She just didn’t expect her teenage crush to be her coworker when she shows up at her new job.

Doctor Reed Segraves at Sunnyville General is trying to figure out life post-divorce. When a dear friend from his past shows up, he starts to wonder what life would’ve been like if he’d made a different choice.

Can Marzia and Reed have a do-over? Or will they find it impossible to overcome their demons and accept the happiness that life seems to offer?

Trapped by Kristina Beck https://geni.us/TrappedEH

Charli

Hating my life, I make a single selfish wish.

When it’s granted, innocent lives are lost.

And my punishment? I inherit everything, including a beautiful baby girl. Now, I’m a single parent to a six-month-old I haven’t the first clue what to do with.

To make matters worse, Kellan, my father’s broody business partner, shows up looking as gorgeous as ever. It’s always been quite clear that he can’t stand me, but now it seems like the complete opposite.

Everyone says I’m the winner in this situation, but extreme guilt chases away my happiness. Then two more bombs are thrown at my feet, making me question the strength of true love and my future.

Kellan

I miss an exit and become stuck in the middle of a nightmare.

Horrific images are burned into my memory.

Relief washes over me that it’s not Charli, the woman I’ve always hidden my true feelings from. It’s her sister.

Then guilt hits me like a freight train.

No one can know.

At the wrong place at the wrong time, I’m brought face-to-face with Charli and her new daughter. Out of respect for my boss, I’ve gone as far as to callously dismiss her. But that reasoning is irrelevant now. It’s time I put everything on the line and prove she’s the only woman for me… even if it means losing her anyway when she finds out my secrets.

Title: Passions and Peonies

Series: Four Seasons Series

Author: Kristina Beck

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Release Date: April 7, 2020

Is one week of breathtaking passion a reason to turn your life upside down?

Winter is Lacey’s arch-enemy and it won’t let up even though it’s the middle of April. She can’t get out of New York City fast enough to kick off her spring vacation in the tropics. One travel glitch and a stumbled step finds Lacey on the lap of a handsome, mysterious stranger, connecting her heart to his in a way she can’t comprehend.

Will gets a last-minute seat on a flight back home, sitting him next to a beautiful, quirky woman who blows into his life like a warm spring breeze. Her magnetism lights him up after weeks of darkness. He refuses to say goodbye until he steals one heated kiss from her.

A surprise twist of fate drops them into deep water, but the fire between them never burns out. What they thought would be a week of steamy distractions blossoms into something their hearts didn’t bargain for.

He pulls the collar of my suit to the side. He kisses and teases me with his tongue from behind my ear all the way down to the top of my breast. “Mmm, I like the way you taste with a dusting of salt on your skin.”

I close my eyes and arch my neck to give him more access. He repeats the same thing on the other side. I’m so glad my sunburn is mostly on my back. I feel him hard against me, and I ache to rub more closely against him.

“I wish I could feel your body against mine. Skin to skin. No barriers,” he purrs while he grazes on my chest. “Do you feel my heart pounding? I’m surprised it’s not creating waves around us.”

I run my fingers through his hair and stare into his hungry eyes. “What’s happening between us? My heart and body aches for you. I almost can’t control myself.” I lick my lips. “Kiss me.”

He brushes my lips gently with his. Our kiss is soft at first, savoring the moment. But a moan escapes from my throat, and we become more hurried and rough. He squeezes me against him like he fears I’ll escape. I can hardly breathe, but I don’t care. All I can think about is what it’d feel like to be naked against his delicious body.

Honk, honk!

Our mouths separate swiftly but not our bodies. His head drops to the curve of my neck while he pants and catches his breath. “That’s our boat. It’s time to go,” he murmurs.

“I don’t want to go.” I nip his shoulder. “But I guess it’s good timing before things got really out of hand. Not that I would’ve complained.”

He unwraps my legs from his waist. “You drive me completely insane. Go ahead of me. I need a few minutes for a certain body part to calm down. You being next to me or even in sight won’t let that happen.”

“Didn’t you know that’s my goal? To drive you nuts.” I giggle and swim backward. “You’ll be begging me to leave on Saturday.”

“Never. Now get out of here,” he says, clenching his jaw.

I’m the happiest girl in the world… at least until Saturday.

Title: Dreams Collide

Series: Collide Series #2

Author: Kristina Beck

Genre: Contemporary Romance (Standalone)

Release Date: December 5, 2017

Tina craves adventure, food, and her new client, restaurant owner Gerry.

At sixteen, Tina was full of energy, fearless, and desperate to get out of New Jersey. But her dreams shattered when her mother died tragically. She was thrust into the role of mothering her family while hiding the horrible truth of that day.

Now that Tina feels she’s paid her penance, she wants to rediscover the ambitious girl she used to be. With her new dream job and a move to Hoboken, it’s her time to spread her wings. Tina’s first client is a restaurant owner who tempts her—not only with food but with himself. She’d felt this kind of attraction only once before in college and is flooded with memories of an unforgettable kiss. One of her biggest regrets.

Gerry desires anonymity, a new life, and the beautiful website designer Tina.

Gerry fled Germany to escape the destruction of his reputation. After months of staying under the radar, he opens a restaurant in New York City. When he hires a website design firm, Gerry finds himself working closely with Tina—whom he had a taste of years ago and now finds a sweet indulgence.

Even as they admit their attraction to each other, an unexpected circumstance threatens to separate them again. Will their love be strong enough to give up their dreams? Or will someone be left behind?

“No complaints from me. You look good, but I don’t know how you stay fit when you’re surrounded by food all day.” I gesture with my hand toward his body.

“You love food and have a great body.”

“Excuse me.” I point my finger back and forth between us. “Just friends, remember?”

“What? You just said the same to me. Friends can’t say that?”

A boat passes us a little too closely, and I say to the couple, “We’re just friends.”

“It doesn’t look like it to me,” the woman says. She winks at Gerry.

He stops rowing. “Oh. I’m sorry. Should I have said you’re as hot as the chili in the éclair you ate? Or as hot as the Sahara Desert? Or so hot that I’m counting the days on the calendar until my hands and lips can burn on your bare skin.” He clenches his jaw.

I can’t see his eyes through his sunglasses, but I can feel them.

Holy shit. He’s serious. My hormones are screaming let him.

“You’re thinking about it too. Admit it.”

I remain silent and look out at the water. No way am I admitting that. Hide your emotions.

“I guess it’s going to be a long night. I’m not moving this boat until you admit it.” He lets go of the oars.

I jump up and step closer to him to grab them.

“Don’t jump up like that. The oars are attached. We’re fine,” he says as he tries to stabilize the boat.

It wobbles enough that I lose my balance, falling face first into his lap. Your face is in his lap. Get up! But what if I like it? Get up!

I push off him to escape the awkwardness. His arms wrap around my waist, preventing me from moving away. We’re face to face as I rest on my knees. I take his sunglasses off to reveal his heated eyes.

“Why couldn’t you just admit it?” he says with a low voice, his eyes glancing at my lips. “Now look what happened. Not that I mind.”

I whisper, “I think about it all the time. You all the time.”
