From USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Ash comes a hate to lovers, second chance, rock star romance.
Braxton
Our senior year, I promised my girl forever.
Forever, as it turned out, wasn’t enough. She told me so in her actions. When she took a match to my life, burning it to ash.
I headed to LA with my band—Raging Chaos—like we always planned, while Kaylee went to college, taking my damaged heart with her.
This was where our story was supposed to end.
Only six years later, our lives collide again.
Kaylee is the only thing I ever loved more than music, and I wish I could hate her for it, but the line between love and hate is thin, and often straddled.
And the thing about collisions? They result in deadly debris.
Kaylee
When you love someone, you let them go. But what I did was so much worse.
Because instead of pushing him away, I shoved Braxton straight over the edge.
I’ve spent the past several years avoiding him, trying to make things right.
When my reputation has been dragged through the mud, and I’m given the opportunity to clean it up, I have no choice but to cross paths with him again.
Being around Braxton is a harsh reminder of the way I lit his life up in flames, but I’m not sure he knows I’ve been burned, too.
If suffering in silence is the cost, I’ll pay the price to make things right.
I just hope our history won’t play on repeat and he’ll see me as more than the stupid girl with the lit match.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some readers. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.

Until the day she stumbles into my path and one kiss changes everything.

Can I find the man threatening the woman I love before he finds her?
We’re playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
And I’m determined to win.
BLP REVIEW – Tracy
The Watcher is definitely my favourite book of the Men of Hidden Justice series so far!!!!!! I loved Damien & Raven.
As with other books in the series the attraction between the couple is there from the get go and things with them move fast….. but we now shouldn’t expect anything less from these guys!!!
Damien was full on but knew when to take a breath and a step back when things appeared to be getting too much for Raven. For her part, Raven didn’t want to be a hindrance and was often trying to convince Damien to walk away and save himself the hassle of being with her….. like the guys in the series before him, we know this was never gonna be an option for Mr DeSalvo..
The storyline was kinda creepy, especially given how we live so much of our lives online these days and I felt the plot was believable…. The ‘bad guy’ was really dislike-able which speaks to how well Ms Moreland writes her characters. I thought I knew where things were going with this guy but was second guessing myself a fair bit….
There was a lot going on in the story. Action, suspense, intrigue, a ton of heat and passion and that sense of brotherhood that comes across so clearly with the men from Hidden Justice.
I love that we catch up with other characters from the series in these books and I’m really looking forward to finding out how things go for Egan & Sofia in the next (and final) book of the series.

Title: Irresistible Trouble Series: Copper Valley Fireballs #4 Author: Pippa Grant

BLURB
I, Cooper Rock, baseball god, worshipper of women, hometown hero, beloved son and brother, and owner of a well-deserved ego, have always reached for the stars. Usually in baseball.
In love? Nah. When you’ve played the field as much as I have and haven’t been bit by the bug, you’re immune.
Or so I thought until she walked back into my life.
Waverly Sweet. Pop music sensation. Universally beloved for good reason. She’s freaking awesome. Kind. Funny. Talented. Sexy as hell. Real. And still completely out of my league.
But I have been hit by the Waverly Sweet tour bus of love, tumbled head over heels, and come up in a field of Waverly-scented roses. This is it. She’s my one and only, and this time, I won’t screw it up.
I’m cleaning up my reputation. I’m ignoring the doubters. I’m channeling everything I have into proving to her that I can be the man she deserves.
No matter what else I have to sacrifice for love.
Including baseball.
Irresistible Trouble is a hilarious home run of a romcom about a baseball player whose ego is catching up to him, a pop star who’s a bit of a hot mess when the cameras aren’t looking (and sometimes when they are), and the kind of family and teammates that everyone deserves… in small doses. While this laugh-out-loud romance stands alone with a sweet-swoony HEA, you won’t go wrong if you dive into the entire Fireballs series, starting with Jock Blocked, first. And for more Cooper Rock cameos, check out Master Baker (a standalone featuring Cooper’s brother) and the Bro Code series.
