Blurb
I get to the Bar 9 and see Susanne McAllister disappear underwater.
My first instinct is to dive in and save her.
Just like I’ve saved her a hundred times until, ten years ago, one tragic night shattered our ‘odd couple’ friendship beyond repair.
I bet you wonder how I got here…
1. My ranch is running out of water.
2. Pops’ solution is to arrange a marriage between me and the eldest daughter of our water-rich, sworn enemies.
You guessed it.
Susanne McAllister.
3. Someone is coming after our families, raking up the troubled history of our small town, and forcing me to realize she’s always been the love of my life.
Now, I have to keep her safe by either letting her go when we meet the terms of our arrangement or making her love me back.
With so many things left unsaid, who knows what she’ll do?

Blurb:
I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.
The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.
A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.
We’re about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

Blurb:
I’ve lived with the stares, whispers, and hateful accusations of small-town gossips for years. Being the sister of the town pariah comes with consequences. But when the petty harassment turns darker, more drastic measures are required. I just didn’t expect those measures to include my former high school crush—the golden boy turned smoking hot firefighter—offering protection… as my boyfriend.
Are we just pretending, or is this becoming something real? And can it survive the string of arsons that threaten us both?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy
I’m a big fan of Kait Nolan’s books and I especially love the Special OPs Scots series as it’s got a bit more going on intrigue wise, so when I heard KN was writing as Harper Jackson and that the books were gonna be romantic suspense I was intrigued!
I have to say this was a great read and a really good start to the Wayward Sons series, though this is not one of the guys books. The story is centered around Caroline & Hoyt.
Caroline is Rios’s sister and the story lays the groundwork and setting for the series. I liked that a lot of the characters were put into the story and I’m looking forward to their books.
We find out that Caroline’s family has a tyrant of a father and a lot of the time the family is the point of gossip and speculation. It’s during one of these times that Caroline finds herself either an unlikely ally.
Caroline had a crush on Hoyt when they were younger but nothing ever came of it. She meets him again when he’s returned home to start work with the local fire department.
Turns out Hoyt had a bit of a crush himself… that makes things more interesting …. so when he hears gossiping about Caroline and her family he has no second thought about standing up to support her and this leads to a relationship of sorts!!
I liked that Hoyt was accepting of going at Caroline’s pace when it came to thoughts of a proper relationship. I liked them as a couple and how they supported the other.
There’s a fair bit going on in this first book and SotW had me second guessing myself a couple of times. I thought I knew who the culprit was then I was hedging…. Great writing and a really good start to what I’m sure is gonna be a fab series, I’m looking forward to the unraveling of a few secrets.

𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐢𝐱 Blurb:
What’s worse than playing a fake girlfriend to the all-pro defensive end for the Seattle Phantom?
When the same infamous playboy is my ex-husband’s best friend.
I’m normally great at keeping my distance from him—pretending like he doesn’t get under my skin.
But after he punches a teammate over me, we’re stuck faking a relationship to save his career and mine.
If we play the game well, we could both get out ahead.
I just have to remember everything about this is for show, including the reformed player act.
A few blurred lines and crossed boundaries won’t change things.
Because falling for your ex’s best friend is wrong, right?

Overtime Blurb:
Colton St. George is the league’s star quarterback, the most eligible bachelor in the country, and the poster boy for “nice guy”.
Everyone wants a piece of him.
Including me—because I need him in front of my camera to raise money for charity.
There’s just one problem.
Before he was famous, I took his already broken heart and shattered it.
So he only agrees to do the photos on one condition—I go first.
In his home, at his discretion.
And in private? He isn’t quite the good guy I remember.
Before I know what’s happening we’re unraveling in a game of favors and bets.
One I’m not sure either of us can win

The infamous playboy and star wide receiver for the Seattle Phantom is the last person on earth I would ever expect to come to my rescue. Tobias Westfield and I can’t see eye-to-eye on anything.
But when my date goes to hell and I end up stranded in the pouring rain on my birthday, he’s there—holding my hand and playing the adoring boyfriend. I might have had him all wrong.
Until a leaked video and a motorcycle accident turn everything upside down.
When he struggles in the aftermath, walling himself off from the rest of the world, our friends volunteer my help—whether he wants it or not.
So we’re stuck together while my job is in limbo and he fights to save his career. But every door I open and every day we spend together has me wondering if we’re really all that different…
