No Pucking Way by CR Jane & May Dawson

I woke up in the hospital three years ago with no idea of who I am, or where I’m from.

Every day, I walk aimlessly around the city, searching for anything that reawakens my memory.

I don’t find it until I apply for a job at the local hockey arena, home of the NHL hockey team the Devils.

Three sexy hockey players inside look…familiar.

They all insist they don’t know me.

I take a job working concessions while I try to fight my amnesia. I watch them. They ignore me.

Until a handsome, dark-eyed, tattooed mafia man saunters into the skating rink and starts sweet talking me.

Then they jump off the ice, ready to fight him to the death. He seems ready to return the favor.

They tell me we all have history.

The next thing I know, I’m being swept out of my everyday life and into glamorous darkness…and into a war between men I evidently used to love.

BLURB:

Enemies turn to lovers, but can they trust each other as they chase the same prize? A sexy romantic comedy adventure from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely…

I live my life by three simple rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Always work solo. And family comes first.

But when I head to the tropics for a quick job and meet a fiery woman who makes my pulse roar, I can’t resist bending the first rule for her.

Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy. The quick-witted and clever beauty is on a treasure hunt for the same damn prize – beating me in a race to find millions in stolen diamonds.

See you later, sexy stranger.

Too bad I keep bumping into my gorgeous rival all over this tropical paradise as we chase clues.

Maybe it’s better to partner up. But, the more time we spend together sneaking into nightclubs and art galleries, the harder it is to keep my hands off her. And soon, I’m not just sleeping with my very irresistible enemy.

I’m starting to give her my heart.

That breaks my biggest rule of all. Don’t ever fall in love. Because it always screws you over.

*Note: A Real Good Bad Thing will be entirely new to most of you! Some of you might have read an older series of mine called The Jewel series (now off sale). That two-book storyline serves as the source material for this new story, which has been changed to 1st person, and turned into a standalone, with all new dialogue, motivations, setting and so on! But if there’s a touch of the familiar to some of you that’s why!

Christmas Cupid by Ilsa Madden-Mills

From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a brand new enemies to lovers holiday novella (40,000 words) about finding love in unexpected places.

Dear Sneaky Santa,

I’d like to have a word about your sense of humor. Was it really necessary to stick me, a professional hockey player nursing an injury and avoiding the media, in an isolated cabin with a bratty, boot-designing princess who seems to have made it her mission to despise me? I mean, come on, what did I ever do to you?

And let’s talk about our first encounter. Was it your intention for her to barge in on me while I was enjoying a soak in the tub? It wasn’t exactly my finest moment, and I’m sure she didn’t appreciate the view of my massive body floundering around as I tried to grab a towel.

Now, I’m stuck with her, thanks to a mutual acquaintance, in the middle of a snow blizzard, navigating through bear attacks, sketchy neighbors, and whole lot of tension. I had plans, Santa, plans to escape to Cabo and forget about the world, not to be trapped with a woman who thinks I’m unworthy of her time just because she can’t stand hockey players.
Oh, and speaking of our delightful Iris, she’s stingier with her food than Scrooge was with his pennies! I’m not asking for a feast, but a guy’s got to eat! And could you possibly turn her yippy dog into a reindeer or something? It would certainly add to the Christmas spirit and save my eardrums.

I’m trying to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and you throw me into this chaos? Is this some kind of test, or are you just having a jolly laugh up there in the North Pole?

So here’s my Christmas wish, Santa: sprinkle a bit of your magic and either get me out of here or be a Cupid and ignite a fiery, undeniable passion between us, because right now, this scenario is frostier than a snowman.

Gilded Wings (Fallen Fae Gods Book 1) by Jaymin Eve

One call changed the course of my life forever.

When my phone rings after a night drinking with my best friend, I had no idea my whole world was about to change.

“A book is missing,” a deep, unnaturally enticing voice growls down the line.

Panicked, I race out to Dragerfield Library, breaking all the rules—even if a book is missing, we’re only allowed on property during the day.

But if I don’t find that ancient tome, I’ll be fired anyway.

“You should have waited until morning, human.”

Too late to retreat, I soon learn why the rules exist. Dragerfield is a doorway between worlds. A doorway to Risest, the Faerie realm. A realm they access at night.

And I’m the moronic human who wandered uninvited into their midst.

The fae use humans for two reasons: entertainment, and well, you can use your imagination for the other.

Even worse, the voice on the line that set all of this in motion is no ordinary fae. Drager, with his dragon scales and smoky scent is one of their gods. A Fallen Five.

My new captor.

A missing book is the least of my worries now.

I’d thought I was about to be fired, but instead, I’m heading to Faerie.

And it might be a one way trip.

Gilded Wings is book one in a romantasy duet. It will be concluded in Crimson Skies, released early 2024. Tropes include dragon shifter and human romance, f0rced proximity, fated mates, touch her and…, portal to a faerie world. This book is not a standalone and is recommended for 18+ due to language and adult situations.

Flame by Adriana Locke

Wanted: A Marriage of Convenience
I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it.
Oh, the irony.
Because the universe took that as a challenge, I’m now in the market for a husband. But if I’m going to be stuck in a temporary marriage, I want it to be with the right man.
I might as well try to enjoy this experience, right?
Considering the circumstances, I need a protector—someone who will throw down for his short-term wife with no questions asked. He’ll be fit. Intelligent. My potential short-term husband will have a dry sense of humor. And, if I’m dreaming big, he’ll be drop-dead gorgeous and a little grumpy. Hot, grumpy men are so attractive.
I mean, if a marriage of convenience is the only way out of this precarious situation, I may as well look for a perfect, broody bodyguard, right?
It could be fun. Lots of fun.
Especially if the one man I know who fits the bill will play along.
But, if Foxx Carmichael does agree to this crazy plan, for better or worse, death might do us part in a whole other way.

Deserving Cora (The Refuge Book 4) by Susan Stoker

She needs to win him at the bachelor auction to save her friend…but didn’t plan on falling in love.

Cora needs to win the representative from The Refuge in the bachelor auction…it’s literally a matter of life and death. But nothing goes according to her plan, and yet, she still manages to find herself in a diner with Pipe, telling him about her best friend who she is convinced has been kidnapped and is being held against her will. She needs Pipe and his former military friends from The Refuge to go to Arizona with her and find her friend, and break her out if necessary.

Pipe has no desire to participate in a bachelor auction, but to raise money for Veterans, he lets himself be talked into it. But the auction is the start of a mystery, one he’s determined to figure out. Mostly because of the woman he’s attracted to from the moment he sees her from the stage.

But finding her friend is the easy part. Determining if she’s with her boyfriend of her own free will and breaking her out of the house if she’s not…isn’t quite so cut and dried. Along the way Pipe finds there’s much more to Cora than she shows the world…kind of like him.

Falling in love wasn’t in Pipe’s plan, but he’s not going to let anything, or anyone, get in his way of making Cora his…not even a serial killer hiding in the wings waiting to strike.

**Deserving Cora is the 4th book in the The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
