BOOK BLURB

From bestselling author, Dr. Rebecca Sharp, comes a sexy, enemies to lovers small-town romance.

A year ago, Gwen Reynolds loaned her car to the beautiful, bloodied man in her emergency room. No name. No questions. No expectation sheโ€™d see him again.
Until he shows up in the hallway of her buildingโ€ฆ moving into the apartment next door.
Chevy McIntyre is in town for one reason only: to find the men responsible for his fiancรฉeโ€™s death. Heโ€™s not looking for friends, and he doesnโ€™t need help. Especially from the neighboring angel whose bright smile has haunted his dreams for months. But his solitude doesnโ€™t sit well with Gwenโ€™s larger-than-life personality.
As Carmelโ€™s most beloved nurse, Gwen will do anything to help anyoneโ€”including the handsome recluse. So, she refuses to back down until sheโ€™s helped solve the case and healed his damaged heart.
Though thereโ€™s an undeniable spark between them, Chevy tries to fight its pull because desire has always had the power to destroy. And when the investigation takes an unexpected turn, heโ€™ll have to choose between risking his only shot at justice or losing his only chance at love.

NEW RELEASE – Trace’s Forever (Lake Hope #5) by Mel Walker

Title: Trace’s Forever

Series: Lake Hope book 5

Author: Mel Walker

Genre: Contemporary/Small Town Romance
Release Date: April 30, 2021

Real Hollywood Romances are Unscripted.

Trace Edwards
They call me the billion-dollar box office kid and Peopleโ€™s most eligible bachelor, but everyone should know better. That carefully curated persona is a Hollywood fabrication.
Thanks to Forever being a box office smash, Iโ€™m returning to Lake Hope to film the sequel. The paparazzi is working overtime speculating that my on-screen romance with my co-star Kimberly Conrad is evolving off-screen.
On-screen Iโ€™ll continue to play the romantic lead but off-screen Iโ€™m a different person with a secret that would destroy the image so many have worked so hard to maintain.
I donโ€™t relationships. I donโ€™t do romance.
Jill Hanover
I wrote the words that convinced America that Trace and Kimberly are the perfect couple. My script for the movie Forever propelled the beautiful ones to an on-screen HEA. Of course, the emotions of the movie felt real to so many because they are โ€“ theyโ€™re mine. I carry a stupid crush for the most unattainable man in Hollywood. Iโ€™m invisible to him and Iโ€™ve fed all my words of love to Kimberly, the one woman who actually has the ability to steal his heart.
I canโ€™t let this happen. Itโ€™s time to go off-script.
You canโ€™t make this stuff up. But I can.
Watch me.

Excerpt:

In An Officer and a Fortune, Nicole is a chef and Collin is a soldier who shares her passion for cooking. They have a slight obsession with Lemon Rosemary Chicken. Has reading a scene in a book where food is involved ever made you hungry?

***

A knock on the doorjamb drew Nicoleโ€™s attention.

Lesly stood in the doorway. โ€œSorry to bother you, but thereโ€™s a Collin Waldon in the dining room. He wants to order something thatโ€™s not on the menuโ€”lemon rosemary chicken and pasta?โ€ Lesly gave her quizzical look. โ€œHe said youโ€™d understand.โ€

He showed up. Barely suppressed excitement waved through Nicole. She hit Send on the website form. โ€œI do. Iโ€™ll take care of it.โ€ Cooking for Collin and talking to him again was exactly what she needed to get her mind off the competition.

In the kitchen, she gathered the ingredients for the dish and got to work. As she prepared the recipe, mindfulness plus a dash of perfectionism blended with her skill. Peacefulness settled inside her as she moved through the tasks.

Cooking had always been her bliss. The only thing that topped it was witnessing the satisfaction of someone enjoying the first bite of something sheโ€™d made. Would her meal rate a smile of satisfaction from Collin when he tasted it?

She worked a little faster, eager to find outโ€ฆ

COVER RE-REVEAL – The Simply Series by Carly Phillips

THE SIMPLY SERIES

Carly Phillips

Book 1

Simply Sinful releasing May 11

Heโ€™s not the man she thought he was. But when danger lurks, heโ€™s the man she needs. 

Any rookie on the force could verify if Charmed! is a legit etiquette school for businessmen, orโ€ฆsomething else. But coming off a wrenching drug bust, Detective Kane McDermottโ€™s captain gave him a choice. Take the fluff case, or take enforced time off. 

The moment Kane meets Kayla Luck, he’s in trouble. Sheโ€™s fierce, keen-eyed intelligence in a body built for sin. And when they touch, the jolt of desire reminds him itโ€™s never wise to mix police work with pleasure. 

Kayla is used to handling men who are more focused on her curves than her mind. But when her newest client arrives for lessons in foreign language and business etiquette, sheโ€™s the one who canโ€™t tear her eyes off all those muscles wrapped in a sexy, double-breasted suit. 

Dinner out leads to a hot night in bed, and Kayla falls hard and fast. Until she learns the business suit hides a badge, and she calls it quits. But Kaneโ€™s already lost his heartโ€”and discovered sheโ€™s in danger. And if he canโ€™t convince her sheโ€™s safe with him, heโ€™ll lose the woman he loves.

Book 2

Simply Scandalous releasing May 11

He runs in high society circlesโ€ฆand heโ€™s running circles around her heart. 

In retrospect, it was all Granโ€™s fault. 

Logan Montgomery has found his niche as an assistant district attorney. But Gran just revealed some worrying intelโ€”dear old dad and his political cronies are about to maneuver him into running for mayor. 

But Gran has a plan. A pre-emptive strike involving a pretty blonde caterer with supple curvesโ€”and a family history literally dripping with scandal. Thereโ€™s just one flaw in his grandmother’s scheme: Loganโ€™s not a player. And thereโ€™s delicious spark of attraction that makes him want to try for something special with Catherine Luck. 

Itโ€™s a mystery to Catherine why Logan, who sits at the very top of the social ladder, would even look twice at someone like her. Maybe he has a thing for disgraced, overworked caterers. But his gentle concern, delivered in that velvety chocolate voice, canโ€™t be real and Cat knows better than to mix business with pleasure. 

Raw desire and genuine affection unexpectedly tip them into forbidden territoryโ€”love. Until Catherine gets a stark reminder that the Montgomerys never do anything without an ulterior motive. 

Which means Catherineโ€™s luck in love is about to run outโ€ฆ

Book 3

Simply Sensual releasing June 15

Do the job. Take the money and run. Until, in a flash, love changes everything. 

In retrospect, Ben Callahan should have known this job was trouble. 

Way more than his normal P.I. fee and unlimited expenses, just to watch over one woman and report back? Alarm bells should have sent him running back to New York. But with his Mom needing assisted living care, Ben takes Emma Montgomeryโ€™s tempting offer to watch over her granddaughter. 

Then he meets Grace, a golden-haired princess. Gifted, gorgeous, reckless. And a serious threat to his sanity as well as his libido. 

Determined to prove she can support herself with her camera, Grace Montgomery hasnโ€™t touched her trust fund in months. Itโ€™s a struggle, but sheโ€™s freeโ€”free of stifling small-town society, free to do what she wants. And right now, she wants to explore her long-repressed sexuality with her hot new neighbor. 

As Grace sheds her inhibitions faster than a high-speed shutter, Ben finds himself breaking his own rules for a woman full of unexpected secrets and thousand-watt sensuality. But when Grace discovers whoโ€™s signing Benโ€™s paycheck, her heart could be too broken for his love to repair.

Book 4

Simply Sexy releasing June 15

It all started with a not-so-innocent sprig of mistletoeโ€ฆ 

In retrospect, Rina Lowell should have known that Emma Montgomeryโ€™s mistletoe was a matchmaking ploy. 

Rina is new to Ashford, to her newspaper job, to her whole life. And she canโ€™t wait to write โ€œHot Stuffโ€, a series of columns that will definitively pin down what men really want. 

When Emma maneuvers her under that pesky sprig of evergreen with Ashfordโ€™s prodigal son, Rina canโ€™t resist the chance to plant one on that dark-haired, blue-eyed manโ€™s sensual mouth. She never expected that kiss to go down like a shot of fine tequila. The man is perfect for her, or so she thinks. 

When his adoptive father Joe falls ill, globetrotting news reporter Colin Lyons doesnโ€™t hesitate to drop everything to fly home and take over Joeโ€™s baby, the Ashford Times. Which, Colin discovers, is veering away from hard news to sexy, smutty fluff. Something he canโ€™t let happen. 

Heโ€™s only got until New Yearโ€™s to save this sinking ship, and to do that, he needs an ally. Rina, with her sparkling brown eyes and frumpy clothes that make his fingers itch to discover whatโ€™s underneath, is the perfect target to help him. Even if it means the job she loves will be cut in the end. 

He never expected one kiss to take his simple plan to save the Times and tie it into impossible knotsโ€ฆ and possibly cost him the woman he loves.

About Breach of Contract

Known for my charismatic stage presence and being the oldest son of music royalty, Iโ€™ve always been able to do exactly what I want.

Front my own band? Become one of the powerhouses in the metal genre? Make a name for myself without using that of my parents? Iโ€™ve done all of it.

But when Brianna Jenkins walked into my life during a Vegas show, I knew without a doubt my carefully laid plans were over.

Getting married to her after a drunken night of debauchery shouldโ€™ve been the worst mistake of my life. Instead? Itโ€™s the best decision Iโ€™ve ever made, and our record company thinks so too.

Or they didโ€ฆ
