Colter Greyson is off limits.

There’s a long list of reasons why I can’t give into the attraction that simmers between us. But quite possibly, the biggest reason being…

He’s my best friend’s father.

With my sarcastic sense of humor as a weapon, I fight off all of his advances. My heart is safe behind the titanium walls I’ve carefully constructed.

Until it isn’t.

Until the night the life I knew is snatched away, and I find myself with nowhere and no one to turn to. Colter transforms once again from my sparring partner into my white knight.

He comes up with a solution to my problems. All I have to do is say, “I do.”

Maybe this can work…as long as I remember, Colter Greyson isn’t mine to keep.

New Release ~ Kickoff ~ by ~ Kayla Claire

Title: Kickoff

Series: Gods on Campus

Author: Kayla Claire

Genre: NA College Sports Romance

Release Date: March 22, 2022

Cover Design: Okay Creations.

Illustrated by: Bella Dawson

Zoey needs a fake boyfriend. I need a babysitter.

We sure as hell don’t have time for feelings to get in the way.

I used to be the top college soccer player in the nation. Now I’m parenting my little sister and trying to survive my first year in grad school. I’m supposed to be Responsible Alex, and that comes with a strict set of rules: no drugs, no drinking, no sex.

When Zoey asks me to be her fake boyfriend to make her ex jealous, I know I shouldn’t say yes. It’s unprofessional. I’m her ex’s TA. But Zoey’s the most stubborn, hard-working person I know—she won’t give up. So I agree on one condition: she babysits my little sister so I can go to soccer practice.

On every fake date I get to touch her. Kiss her. Flirt with her.

It’s making me want to break my rules.

But she’s become my best friend. She’s hung up on her ex.

And I’ve been keeping secrets about my past.

This is never going to work.

I reach over and run my fingers through the grooves in his hair, exactly where he’s been running his hand through it. The curls are soft beneath my fingers. It’s longer now than when I first met him and I wonder if he’s gotten a haircut at all this semester. He’s been so busy.

His eyes close at my touch. “You’re not a failure.” I hate that he gets in this mood every time he talks to his parents. I wish they could see him the way I do. “You made some mistakes in the past. But it made you the Alex you are today. You’re loyal and honest and disciplined and so responsible.”

He smirks slightly.

“Honestly, Alex?” When he opens his eyes, the eye contact between us is intense. I feel like I can barely catch a breath, I’m drowning in his eyes. My throat feels tight when I speak. “You’re the best man I know. I just spent an hour explaining this to my mom.” I laugh, trying to keep this lighthearted.

Alex isn’t laughing though. He’s watching me. Intensely. Then he reaches for me. He wraps a hand around the back of my neck, pulling me toward him. He presses his lips firmly against mine. The kiss is sweet. There’s no tongue or devouring of each other. It’s just a firm press of the lips. And it feels like he really, really needs this.

He breaks apart, staying close enough that his eyes have to flick back and forth between mine. When he speaks, his voice is hoarse. “Why aren’t we in a relationship?”

Scanning the crowd for my frat brothers, my eyes seek the glowing masks we coordinated for our fraternity’s annual Halloween party. Delta Pi Theta never does anything less than the fucking best, and tonight is no exception. People may not know exactly what we are, but they know who we are. The best of the best. The elite. This fraternity is the golden ticket to a life of wealth and privilege. But at what cost? We don’t share that detail. However, those who survive the four years in the brotherhood at Thorn University have already proven they’ll do anything, and give anything, to be, and remain, at the top. Despite the slight fog rolling off the nearby swamp grounds, I find my brothers easily, at the corner perimeter of the party, watching, always staying alert. For trouble. For a possible threat. For a potential client…or target. To everyone around us, Delta Pi Theta members appear to be just a group of friends partying. No one sees who we really are…the predators among the prey. That’s the way we like it and want to keep it. As members of The Illicit Brotherhood, the double life we lead on our college campus requires us to blend in, to act like normal college kids, while also helping our families run an underground empire. One that requires loyalty from one another and our associates. Unfortunately, tonight, I am going to have to remind one of our own what happens when that loyalty is broken.

EXCERPT

I open the door. Ana’s sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the door. The instant she sees me, her lips part, and her eyes travel my body before jerking back to my face.

“You have to put a shirt on. You just—have to.”

My cock is pretty damn pleased with this reaction that says she wants me, but my brain is working overdrive, and for once, overpowering that plaything in my pants. “Why, sweetheart? You want to kiss the scar you gave me better? It’s too late for that. Or maybe, you want to lick me all over? You already did that. You don’t get to do it again. Not after trying to kill me.” I walk to the end of the desk where I left my gun, pick it up, and then lay down on the ground at the foot of the bed. My phone goes to the floor. The gun sits on my gut.

Ana moves to the end of the bed, and sits there, staring down at me. “What are you doing?”

I notice she avoids my name when she would normally do otherwise. I guess she just can’t figure out who I am anymore. Well, I know. And Lucifer fits. She knows, too. “I’m catching a few z’s, and protecting you from anyone that comes in the door. If it so much as jiggles, I’ll sit up and shoot.”

“It’s been a hellish night and morning. Lay on the bed. You can have the side closest to the door. Please.”

I glance up at her. “Sweetheart, if I get in that bed with you, I’ll have you naked in about thirty seconds, and while we’ll both enjoy that, you’ll just hate me for it after. Not to mention we won’t get any sleep.”

“I could say a lot of things to that response, but I probably shouldn’t. We’ll put pillows between us.”

“If you think a pillow will stop me from getting naked with you, you might have been right when you said you never really knew me, Ana. That was right before you shot me, right? I told you. I want to fuck you. I don’t want to sleep next to you.”

She buries her face in her hands and groans a frustrating sound and then glowers at me, all sexy and way too damn hot for my own good. “Fine, Lucifer. Sleep on the damn floor. Just do what you want.” She stands up and walks to the side of the bed before climbing on top.

She tosses a pillow down on top of me. I grab it and stick it under my head. “For the record, me down here and you up there is not what I want. It was never what I wanted, Ana. It’s just who we are now.”

“Yeah,” she says softly. “I know. “

That’s all she says and I want more. But then, I’ve always wanted more when it comes to Ana. And more was never enough.

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “The tears have finally stopped. There were tears of joy for a magnificent ending to the Royal Shifters series”

*~* Sizzling attraction meets pulse-pounding danger in this world of smoldering shifters created by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, L.P. Dover. The last installment in the Royal Shifters series. *~*

After months of searching, the missing royals have been tracked to the mountainous hills of South Dakota. As Micah Lyall picks up their scent, he can’t miss the intermingled smells of the Black Hills pack.

At first glance, they seem to be living together peacefully. Raelynn is all smiles about her upcoming mating to alpha Soren Blackridge. Yet unease raises Micah’s hackles when he begins to sense a shadow of danger casting its evil gloom over the pack. He’s felt this darkness before, and it brings back memories he doesn’t even remember.

To complicate matters further, mating signs are pointing him straight to Raelynn. It’s up to Micah to break the spell and make the beautiful royal see who she truly belongs with. But how can he take that risk knowing Soren’s pack surrounds them, and the vindictive alpha will never let Raelynn go without a fight?

Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

Her favorite to write is romantic suspense, but she’s also found a passion in romantic comedy. She loves to make people laugh which is why you’ll never see her without a smile on her face.

New Release ~ Stuck with the Movie Star ~ by ~ Georgia Coffman

Title: Stuck with the Movie Star

Author: Georgia Coffman

Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy

Release Date: March 21, 2022

BLURB

In an attempt to save my career, I ask the new makeup artist to pretend to date me. There’s just one problem… and she hates me.

As a rising star in Hollywood and half of LA’s “It” couple, my days are filled with filming, partying, and being with my newest co-star.

The life, right?

Wrong.

After our not-so-mutual breakup, being on location in New York together is a recipe for disaster.

I need divert her advances before this project goes south, so I impulsively announce that I’m dating the new makeup artist.

Good idea, Ian.

Not.

The fiery redhead is smart with a quick wit and sinful black combat boots.

Madison is also my ex-girlfriend—and she despises me.

To make matters worse, the second the media catches wind of us high school sweethearts reuniting, we’re all anyone can talk about.

During one of my numerous attempts to earn Madison’s forgiveness for this public fiasco, we get stuck together.

Which is when I realize she doesn’t hate me, after all.

In fact, our chemistry is as intense as ever, and it’s not long before the headlines of our fateful reconnection become true.

But when the credits roll, and I head back to my home on the opposite coast, will it be the end of us too?

They spent one night together, and then chance brought them back together again.

Carly

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve lived a privileged life. But I’ve worked hard not to let my good fortune go to my head. I’ve kept myself grounded, and much to the dismay of my mother and my NFL star ex-boyfriend, I want to do something meaningful with my life. Something I can call my own.

Hooking up with the cute guy at the bar who seemed to figure me out with a single glance? Not exactly that kind of purposeful adventure I had in mind, but I’m living for me now, so what could one night of fun hurt?

Kaden

I met the girl of my dreams in a Denver bar. The only problem is I’m not the kind of a guy a lady like Carly thinks about when the night is over. And when she walked out of my hotel room, I thought I’d never see her again.

Until she showed up on Mason Creek on a mission.

She didn’t know she’d find me here, and I’ll be damned if I believe our running into each other again is anything less than fate. Chance brought us together once, and I’ve gotta believe there’s a reason it’s brought us back together again, too.

Turns out that reason isn’t what either of us had planned for our lives, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove I’m up to the challenge.

Only problem is…

I’m not the only one vying for Carly’s heart.

I can read people like a fucking book, and I never want to stop reading you. I never want to stop learning about you. All you have to do is say the word.

Tell me exactly when you fell in love with me.” And as his breath pulsed against my lips, my gaze returned back to his all-knowing stare. “When you didn’t put a bullet in my head after coming out of my brother’s apartment complex,” I whispered.
