Georgia I’ve hated Chase Mathews from the first time I saw him. He’s arrogant, cocky, and far too obnoxious for anyone to deal with. But our best friends are married, so escaping him isn’t exactly easy. Did I mention he’s also my new roommate? You see, life hasn’t exactly gone to plan recently, and I’m out of options. But just because I’m stuck with him doesn’t mean I have to lay back and endure his antics. Chase doesn’t know it yet, but he’s just met his match. Chase Georgia Monroe has driven me crazy for years. And not in a fun way. She’s a snobby brat who I try to avoid at all costs. As luck would have it, she’s also my new roommate. If this year hasn’t taken enough from me, it is undoubtedly testing my sanity with her around. Forced into close quarters, I don’t know who will snap first. Georgia is fire, and I’m gasoline. Soon, someone is going to explode. I’m just hoping it won’t be me.

I force myself to look away from him. Sure, he’s attractive, most athletes are. Okay, that isn’t completely true, but it’s what I’m willing to tell myself for acknowledging his hotness. Hot people can still suck. There, that’s it. “Uh, you’re in my seat,” he snaps. I dismiss him with a wave. “Didn’t realize you paid for the couch.” My eyes go back to the movie. I feel the other end dip, while he exhales a puff of breath. In the next second, he changes the channel. “Uh excuse me! I was watching that.” I lean over to grab the remote from him, but he’s too fast for me, tucking it under his ass. “Seriously?” I fume, my fingers digging into the pillow I have in a death grip. “If you want it, come get it.” I turn my nose up. “Ew, I think I’ll pass. Even sitting near you is enough to risk catching something.” He just shrugs, shoving a wad of popcorn into his mouth. “Get your own seat next time.” “Well, if you didn’t basically eat, sleep and breathe on this sofa then I wouldn’t have to take it from you!” “Someone’s in a bad mood.” He smirks, clearly loving the fact he’s getting a rise out of me. Fine. He wants to be an ass. Two can play that game. “I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as uptight as you.” My head snaps toward him. “To most people, I’m a delight, you just happen to bring out the inner psychopath in me.” He rolls his eyes. “Sureeee.” “Whatever, I’m going to shower, enjoy the show.” My words are sticky sweet, like honey dripping off every word. I see his eyebrows draw together, but it’s too late for him. I flick his bowl of popcorn as I walk by, the small yellow pieces flying all over him.

New Release ~ Late Love ~ by ~ Scarlett Hopper

Charlotte “Lottie” Night didn’t expect her year to turn out this way. After finding out she’s carrying more than just the emotional baggage of her breakup, life as she knows it quickly changes. Panicked, she attempts to balance everything alone until she meets Owen. Owen Bower didn’t know what he was missing until Lottie crashed into his life. She’s everything he never knew he wanted, but a relationship is the last thing on Lottie’s mind. Yet when a chance encounter between the two reveals Lottie’s biggest secret, a bond is immediately formed. Owen quickly becomes Lottie’s closest confidant, but it’s clear their connection is anything but platonic. Emotions can only be ignored for so long until someone cracks, and it looks like Owen will be first.

We stand close, the tips of our shoes almost touching. Far closer than anyone who’s just met would. It’s intimate, like somehow we’ve known each other a lifetime. It’s corny, ridiculous, and something I’d never say, but it’s true. Hell, I wish I had alcohol to blame it on, but alas, soda is all that’s in my system. Well, that and the fire brewing from his presence. The warm summer air has a slight wind, brushing the tendrils of my hair around. That seems to be the only thing moving, as our eyes are locked upon one another. Owen’s stare digs into my soul, sparking a fire that I thought had been put out months ago. Scratch that, this is a fire I never knew existed. I’m not one to lie about how many people I’ve dated. In all that time, there has never been a pull as intense and quick as this one. I know, I just know, this wouldn’t be nothing. This wouldn’t be your average one night and never speak again. It would be more. And more is dangerous.

New Release ~ Never Now ~ by ~ Scarlett Hopper

A standalone brother’s best friend romance

Emilia Ronan has loved Reeve Sawyer since the moment she first saw him. The only problem? He views her as a little sister and nothing more.

Tall, dark and handsome, Reeve is the complete opposite to the vibrant and outspoken Emilia. Not to mention that he’s her older brother’s best friend. After years of pining over him and one humiliating rejection, she finally decides it’s time to move on, but when Reeve shows up, begging for a shot, can she really say no?

Reeve knows two things to be true in life: you work hard to get what you want and you stay away from Emilia Ronan. It’s clear he’s crossing a line, but what happens when he can no longer stay away? Hiding this relationship from his best friend is breaking every code he can imagine, yet he can’t seem to stop. But when a ghost from his past shows up, shaking his core, Reeve will have to decide what matters most: keeping secrets from Emilia or simply keeping her.

“I never wanted it to be like this, Em. I know you don’t believe me, but it always meant more to me. You always meant more to me.” His voice is merely a whisper as he walks to the couch and collects his keys. He slows as he reaches the door, as if he somehow can’t bring himself to go. Then he turns to me, his gaze intimately connecting with my own for what feels like the last time. I close my lids, unable to see him walk away.

“I’m sorry for hurting you, Emilia. Believe me when I tell you it was never my intent.”

“I know,” I whisper back. “I know it wasn’t. But our sad reality is, that you did hurt me and now, now I need to move on, otherwise I’m going to continue to get hurt, but this time, I will have no one to blame but myself.”

His silence is my only reply.

The metal door handle squeals in protest as he turns it, the sound my only way to know he’s leaving. After the thump of the door vibrates through the floor, I finally open my eyes.

He’s gone, and I sink to the floor alone, my emotions expressed with four simple words: he’s broken my heart. But not so simple at all, is it?
