Synopsis

She’s loved him all her life… but will he be there when she needs him the most?

Disheartened and adrift after being written out of a hit TV show, actor Aidan Flaherty returns to his family’s historic winery, where he’s invested some of the fortune he’s made. As the holidays approach, Aidan becomes intrigued with the old showboat that’s dry-docked just east of town… and even more intrigued with the daughter of his former mentor, who now owns it. He decides to buy the boat and restore it to its former glory.

Single mom Holly Santos is back in River’s Edge after her divorce and she is over men in general and actors in particular. If she could only get rid of her father’s old showboat, a source of fascination for her son, Mateo. She never expects her old crush to walk into her tea shop or the fireworks that happen every time they’re in the same room. Can Aidan convince her that he is determined to restore their shared heritage on the showboat and that he’s home to stay?

 Enjoy this peek inside:

A knock on his car window jerked him back to the Mickey D’s parking lot and he turned to see a young woman peering in. “Hey?” She tapped on the glass again. “Hey? Aren’t you that cop? The one on TV? Pete At-Atwater?”

Aidan came within a second of simply shaking his head since she didn’t even have the name of his character right, but another girl came up behind the blonde, a huge smile on her face. “It’s him!” She gripped the blonde’s arm. “It’s Pete Atwood from LA Detectives!” Elbowing her way to the window of the little MG, she stooped down. “We love you, Pete!”

Pinning on his celebrity smile, the one that showed off his dimples and made hearts race all over America and Canada, Aidan rolled down the window. “Good morning, ladies.”

They clutched each other and giggled, jiggling with excitement. “Can we get a picture with you?” the blond one asked while the other one bit her lip and sighed.

“Sure.” Aidan opened the car door and got out, surreptitiously scanning the parking lot as he did so. Most of the cars were in the drive-thru and the people in line weren’t paying attention to the activity in the corner of the parking lot, where he’d deliberately parked to avoid being recognized. How had these two figured out who he was?

Oh, crap, the California license plates on Pete’s distinctive MG! A dead giveaway and it’s no secret that the actor who plays Pete Atwood is from a small river town in southern Indiana.

At least ten pictures and a couple of autographs later, he was back in the car while the two girls scurried off. Aidan watched out of the corner of his eye as they high-fived each other before getting into an older compact car. No doubt they were both on their phones letting friends know that Pete Atwood was haunting the parking lot of the McDonald’s on the highway, so heaving a huge breath, he buckled up and turned the key in the ignition.

Moving a Little Heart 
Little Hearts Book 1
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Baylor Parish needs a fresh start. After a disastrous,
loveless marriage and an emotionally neglected childhood, she packs her things
and moves to a new house out in the desert to get away from it all and enjoy
her freedom.
Unfortunately, the occupants of the house next door have other ideas.
As soon as Hayden Paterson spots her moving in, he takes over. Next, she meets
his stepbrother Jake, a cop who takes her safety far more seriously than Baylor
does herself. The last thing Baylor wants is to get into another relationship,
but the Paterson brothers rescue people for a living, and from the moment they
clap eyes on her, they label the 23-year-old a ‘damsel in distress.’ Not only
do they do everything in their power to protect, nurture and guide her, but
they also enlist the help of their longtime friends and roommates; Terry and
Matt.
Hayden and Jake come together to woo her to become a part of their unique
family. To them, she is an adult little girl in need of the love, caring,
nurturing – and yes, discipline – that only two “Daddies” can provide. To the
independent Baylor, the assumption that she is in dire need of “Daddycare”
seems not only strange, but completely opposed to the self-sufficiency she
thought she wanted.
As well as her new Daddy Hayden and Daddy Jake, Baylor also finds herself in
the care of “Uncle” Terry, a retired medic. He’s the burly, protective “house
mom” and “doctor”, who is not only thrilled to have a little girl to care for,
but likes to take control of Baylor’s health in ways that she preferred he did
not. Then there is Matt, the resident “hippie”, who quickly becomes Baylor’s
adoring “big brother” and helps her devise ways to get into mischief… which
frequently lands her over the lap of one of her new daddies.
Basking in the loving embrace of these four men, Baylor’s inner child emerges,
and under their sometimes stern, but always loving, care, she not only
discovers her ability to play and laugh, she also begins to trust and feel
loved. She also learns that a bottom bared for punishment can experience
intense pleasure when used in “special” ways by one – or both – of her two men.
Despite her happiness, Baylor continues to struggle with allowing herself to
fully submit. Is this lifestyle, the one of a Little girl with two Daddies, an
Uncle and a Big Brother, right for her? Will she be able to leave behind her
loveless, uncaring past and allow her heart to be moved to permanently reside
within the arms and home of these very special men?
This #1 Best Seller is geared towards those readers who enjoy realistic
age-play/BDSM, menage and a loving, healthy family life of a house full of
alpha males. If discipline/sensual spanking, anal, and medical play aren’t your
‘cup of tea,’ then you haven’t read a book like this!

Loving a Little
Heart 
Little Hearts Book 2
She’s got two gorgeous men, and a serious craving for
chocolate…
In this, the sequel to Breanna Hayse’s best-selling ‘Moving A Little Heart’,
Baylor’s back—with double the trouble. Feisty but vulnerable Baylor Parish is
pregnant with twins, which means her two daddies; stepbrothers Hayden and Jake;
her Uncle Terry, and her big brother Matt are even more loving and protective
of their girl than usual.
About to realize their lifelong dreams of fatherhood, Jake and Hayden decide to
make their family official before the babies are born, and soon a double
wedding is on the horizon for the Paterson household. A unique, polyamorous
dynamic, however, calls for a very unique wedding—something Baylor is only too
glad to embrace. After all, she was married before, and that traditional
ceremony ended up having disastrous consequences.
Pregnancy is a time for growth in more ways than one, and Baylor is worried
that her dynamics with Hayden and Jake will change now that they’re going to
become parents. Can she be a mother and still explore her Little side with her
two daddies? How will her changing body and high risk pregnancy affect their
BDSM routine? And what will happen when a blast from her terrible past turns up
on her doorstep?
Baylor discovers that two partners, two babies, an Uncle and a big brother
simply result in twice as much everything; double the fun, double the worry,
double the time over a strong lap, and twice as much love…
This story contains explicit content including spanking of adult women, ménage,
and ageplay. If you enjoy this material, then grab a box of chocolate and let’s
have some fun!

BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers
truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange
lifestyle.

Who am I?

I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the
opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both
a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage
and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development.
This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and
offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives
and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take
the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual
and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the
now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I’ve devoted my
‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and
group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and
addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my submissive
side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either
personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as
the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from
many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through
elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on ‘the real
deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border
collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with
speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment
together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla
salt-water taffy where John can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational
trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for
kinkyliterature.com.

Thanksgiving, Aaron crashes his racecar and lands in the hospital in
serious condition. When he is discharged three weeks later, he finds
that he has fewer friends than he originally thought, and a career

himself hiding at the small coffee shop for hours as he comes to
terms with his new life.

Velevet & Vows
The Celebration Series Book 13 (Finale- Christmas)
 
The epic finale of the
Celebration Series is finally here. Celebrate Christmas once again
with the couple that started it all: Casey Lowe and Thad Wagner.
Velvet & Vows
starts out twenty days before the wedding and there is a lot to be
done. With wedding showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, the
final dress fittings, holiday preparations and the last of the
details for the ceremony and reception, Celebration is crackling with
energy–but it’s not all good.
With a few
misunderstandings, many secrets and a serial arsonist running rampant
in the town, the days leading up to the wedding are far more
stressful than Casey and Thad ever planned for it to be. It will take
the entire town to tell this story as we pass from one leading
character to another.
Prepare yourself for
this one-of-a-kind novel that will bring insight into every character
you’ve fallen in love with during the series, and even a few
characters you’ve never heard from firsthand.
 
NOTE: While Velvet & Vows can be a standalone novel, there have been twelve
other books in this series before it. This book incorporates all
twelve of those couples into one story and might be slightly hard to
follow if you have not read the other books.

Healing Heather

by Tinsley Sellers

healing heather

(Beckley’s Daughters Romance #1)
Publication date: July 20th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis

She’s going 120mph in a 65 zone—and if driving even faster could change history, Professor Heather Harris would floor it. She’s on a collision course with Sergeant Brian Daniels, a state trooper determined to enforce the speed limit and slam the brakes on his own heartache. Can a fast-moving physicist find love with a laid-back law officer, or will ghosts from their pasts keep driving them apart?

“All relationships come with an expiration date. All of mine just happened to fall on the same two days.” —Heather Harris

After a long year of tragedy and loss, Dr. Heather Harris is finally ready to come to terms with the deaths that have left her devastated and alone in the world. Spending summer break at the lake cottage she inherited from her grandparents is the first step in coping with her crushing grief, but she soon finds herself on a collision course with Sergeant Brian Daniels, a police officer whose passion for classic cars won’t stop him from enforcing the speed limit.

Brian Daniels embraces his small-town, laid-back, lakeside life. After years of heartbreak at the hands of his first love, he’s finally free—and a fast-driving, karaoke-singing physics professor offers an exciting diversion. Opposites attract, but the sudden appearance of a blonde on a Harley threatens to throw a monkey wrench in the works. Will the pull of his past be stronger than the promise of his future?

Welcome to the small-town world of Beckley, Michigan. The two-lane roads are long and winding, the many lakes are cool and blue, and the dense forests are green and shaded. Summer days are warm and sunny and summer nights are clear under the glittering stars. The people are warm, friendly, smart, funny–and very, very real. When you need a place to call home, Beckley welcomes you—and sometimes the family you choose is as strong as the bonds you’re born with.

Accepting Aerin

by Tinsley Sellers

healing accepting


(Beckley’s Daughters Romance #2)
Publication date: November 16th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis

Former Chicago Cubs third baseman Chet Coakley needs a quiet place to write the last novel in his best-selling series.

When a freak accident ends his baseball career, Chet finds his second chance writing a series of retro-detective novels. He’s on a deadline and can’t afford a distraction—especially not in the form of a vivacious blonde innkeeper who challenges everything he believes about himself.

Professional chef Aerin Buckholtz owns a vintage lodge and fifteen cabins on a secluded lake in the Michigan woods.

Betrayed by her best friend and self-conscious about her appearance, Aerin believes that romance isn’t meant for her. She’s building her business—and working to earn good reviews seems safer than admitting her attraction to a handsome former athlete who feels far out of her league.

Can Aerin and Chet learn to see themselves through each other’s eyes and accept a love neither one saw coming?

Welcome back to Beckley, Michigan! Autumn is in the air and as the days get shorter, the air gets cooler and the trees begin to turn every shade of gold and red. The people are just as warm, friendly, smart, funny, and real as you remember. When you need a place to call home, Beckley welcomes you—and sometimes the family you choose is as strong as the bonds you’re born with.

If you like small-town romance, you’ll like Beckley. If you like smart heroines who balance demanding professional careers with a commitment to family, friends, and finding love, then you’ll definitely like it here. If you like strong, sexy, hard-working heroes who have not-so-secret soft spots for kids, kittens, and classic cars, you may find that you never want to leave!

Accepting Aerin is the second in the Beckley’s Daughters Romance series. This series is recommended for adult readers and contains explicit language and intimate situations.

bucket list cover

Synopsis

Recently graduated from high school, Holland Monroe had no expectations for her last summer before heading off to college to be anything but ordinary.

Until she got a job as a waitress at the local country club to make extra money for school.

Milo Davis was smart, cute, and absolutely not interested in Holland. At least that was what she believed. But the day she started working at the restaurant, everything changed.

Finally together, they were left with only three months to spend time together before she moved away.

Author TK Rapp

bucket list author

T.K. Rapp is a Texas girl born and raised. She earned a B.A. in Journalism from Texas A&M and it was there that she met the love of her life. He had a contract with the U.S. Navy that would take them across both coasts, and ultimately land them back home in Texas.

Upon finally settling in Texas, T.K. worked as a graphic designer and photographer for the family business that her mom started years earlier. She was able to infuse her creativity and passion, into something she enjoyed, but something was still missing. There was a voice in the back of her head that told her to write, so write, she did. And, somewhere on an external hard drive, are several stories she started and never finished.

Now at home, raising her two daughters, T.K. has more time to do the things she loves, which includes photography and writing. When she’s not doing one of those, she can be found with her family, which keeps her busy, hanging with family and friends, and mostly relaxing. She is a lover of raunchy humor, gossip blogs and a good books.

Sweet Wild Of Mine

Where The Wild Hearts Are #2

  by Laurel Kerr

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Contemporary Romance

From page 56 in the paperback.

“You just remind me of Paul Bunyan in your flannel.” She started to flick the cuff of his shirt, but he stepped back.


Magnus crossed his arms and gave her a hard stare, looking more like a Viking than a woodsman. Considering he’d grown up on an isle in the North Sea, it was probably a more accurate description, not that June planned on sharing it with him.

This sounds like the perfect summer read. It has a sweet, awkward romance and I get to spend some time at the zoo. There’s a baby polar bear. a motherly capybara and two devious honey badgers. Oh, and a herd of fainting goats. LOL

~~~~~

Synopsis

Love runs wild at the Sagebrush Flats Zoo…

In a bid to revitalize his career, bestselling author Magnus Gray has come to Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo’s latest rescue―an orphaned baby polar bear. But Magnus dreads the drama of small towns and is bullishly determined to keep to himself.

June Winters is a people person, and delights in welcoming Magnus to Sagebrush Flats, though it seems unlikely she can get the handsome stranger to crack a smile. Then a mishap with an open gate forces Magnus and June to deal with a stampeding flock of fainting goats, an adorable but clingy polar bear cub, a cranky pregnant camel, and two star-crossed honey badgers. Never mind small town drama―the lively animals may just convince these two that opposites really do attract…

Forever Wild
Forever Friends Book 3
by Allyson Charles
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
 
Dax Cannon never says no to a challenge. But when he discovers a sexy
stowaway in the back of his truck, he realizes Annelise Ansel might
be more than he bargained for.

An artist, Lissa claims
she’s leaving New Orleans for a fresh start in Michigan–which just
happens to be where he’s headed with the pack of rescue dogs he’s
delivering to the sanctuary he works for. But when three thugs
threaten to take lovely Lissa off his hands, he realizes she’s in
need of a sanctuary, too.
Once Lissa is riding
shotgun with her long, lean protector, she’s wondering if fate
might have something better in store for her than a life in hiding.
But when her hijinks threaten to take down the best man she’s ever
had the pleasure to run away with, Lissa realizes it’s time to face
her demons. Now it’s up to the two of them to fight through the
danger to discover the life—and love—waiting on the other side.
 
 
Forever Found
Forever Friends #2
Head vet at the Forever Friends animal rescue shelter, Gabriel Moretti is
known as the Dog Whisperer because of his gift for soothing
rambunctious patients. But it’s the two-legged species that has
him, and his libido, working overtime. Marla Popov single-handedly
saved the shelter from financial ruin. But the bossy trust funder is
even more irritating than her snooty Standard Poodle. You’d think
keeping his attraction on a short leash would be a no-brainer for
Gabe. Unfortunately, Marla is also smart, beautiful, and intriguing . . .
Most of her life,
people have been eager to tell Marla just what she wants to hear. So
now that she’s nearing forty, she doesn’t expect to be
refused—especially by a sexy younger man like Gabe. She also
doesn’t expect it to sting so much. But when she discovers a scheme
involving illegal dog fights, she gets a chance to show what she’s
truly made of. And as she and Gabe team up to fight it, they discover
a surprising respect for each other—and passion that might just
grow into love. . .
 
 
Forever Home
Forever Friends #1
 
LOVE UNLEASHED
 
Isabelle Lopez has never been a dog person. Raising her daughter alone and
building a real estate career leaves no time for four-legged
furballs. When she finds an abandoned mutt and litter of pups in a
foreclosed apartment, Izzy intends to drop them off at a shelter and
walk briskly away. Instead, her “heroic” deed makes her a local
celebrity. Her boss is thrilled. Commissions are up. And thanks to
gorgeous shelter owner Bradley Cohen, Izzy’s disciplined life is
suddenly much, much more complicated.

 
He’s got a sexy smile, a wicked sense of humor, and a big, noble heart.
Even as Izzy tries to get her libido to 
heel, boy, Bradley
sets out to convince her there’s more to life than padding her bank
account. But Izzy knows a trade secret that puts Brad’s beloved
shelter at risk, and she can’t warn him.

 
Their relationship was barely getting started; suddenly it’s in the dog
house. Now Izzy and Brad need to figure out what matters most, and
whether this could be much more than animal attraction…

 
 
Allyson Charles lives in Northern California. A former attorney, she
happily ditched those suits and now works in her pajamas writing
about men’s briefs instead of legal briefs. When she’s not
writing, she’s probably engaged in one of her favorite hobbies:
napping, eating, or martial arts (That last one almost makes up for
the first two, right?). One of Allyson’s greatest disappointments
is living in a state that doesn’t have any Cracker Barrels in it.

This year, however, Sasha’s holiday plans are nixed when she’s forced
to accompany her sexy, notoriously naughty new client, Drake
Lancaster, on the press tour for his upcoming Christmas movie.

Despite Sasha’s promise to keep things all business during the press tour,
their sensual trysts heat up even further while out on the road. In

booted from the movie and replaced by Mitch Morrison, a hot young
African-American actor who’s recently taken Hollywood by storm.
While Drake struggles to repair his image, Mitch hires Sasha to help manage

anticipation of their families meeting, and Sasha’s elusive

their once booming relationship is about to crash. In the end, they
must figure out whether their love is strong enough to withstand
these challenges and carry them through this Valentine’s Day.

Let There Be Light

The Sled Dog Series #2

by Melissa Storm

36264399

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Contemporary Romance

  Teaser from the eBook.

Ever since she had accepted the job as an Anchorage librarian and moved from her tiny hometown in Texas all the way north, the Iditarod had been one of Scarlett’s foremost passions – along with books, of course.

Could she really starve one passion to feed another? Ultimately, racing for herself would mean quitting her job as a librarian…. Books were just too special for her to willingly cast aside.

I just recently finished reading a memoir about a woman who did the Iditarod and this was a perfect follow up read to choose.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Scarlett Cole is caught between two worlds. Accustomed to living out her adventures between the pages of great books, she now has the opportunity to participate in the sporting tradition she loves so much. Unfortunately, she’ll only have one chance to make a name for herself in the dog-sledding world before she needs to put these aspirations aside forever.

Henry Mitchell is another new contender in the great race, and he comes with a large media following. Challenged to place in the top ten of the Iditarod or forfeit his grandfather’s riches, failure could mean losing everything.

Do either Scarlett or Henry have what it takes? And what will happen when the sport places them in direct competition with each other? Will these star-crossed racers find something sweeter amidst their bitter rivalry?

Harkening to the great literary traditions of Romeo and Juliet and The Little Mermaid, Let There Be Light is a new twist on the most epic of love stories. Don’t miss the chance to lose your heart to two courageous teams of sled dogs and the humans that love them in this tale set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness. Order your copy today!

Sit… Stay… Beg

The Dogfather #1

  by Roxanne St. Claire

34613444

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Contemporary Romance

From 56% in the eBook.


Careful, Jessie,” he warned softly. “If we succeed in finding Lola’s loving owner, you’ll have to say goodbye.”

She melted more into the dog. “But she’d be happier.”

“I don’t know if she could be any happier,” he said, giving the dog a pat. “Look at that smile.”

I love books with dogs in them. And a Dogfather? How could I resist!

This scene mentions a dog smiling. I know my dog can smile. Does yours?

~~~~~

Synopsis

Garrett Kilcannon, a former dot com super-success who now devotes his life to rescuing dogs and finding them homes, prefers to keep his secrets buried as deep as a dog hides his bone. So when he learns his father has invited a journalist to Waterford Farm to write and produce an in-depth profile on him, he doesn’t care that she’s a childhood friend or drop dead gorgeous. He has zero tolerance for the media…until he sees a different side when she gets through the walls of a rescue dog who’s refused to eat during her short stay at Waterford. Unwillingly charmed and undeniably attracted, Garrett agrees to the interview that could break down a few of his emotional walls, too.

Garrett might not want to share the story of his colorful former life, but Jessie Curtis has the skills to peel back the layers of this sexy, complicated, caring man. In the process, she not only discovers his secrets, she finds herself falling for a man who touches her heart in a way she never thought possible. Her entire career is riding on this one explosive interview, but can she bear to repay Garrett’s trust by selling his secrets? Or can a woman who gave up on happiness a long time ago learn to believe that all it takes to rescue a lost heart is the love of a good man?
