Second Time Lucky Blurb:
Skye
This isn’t how I’d envisaged my homecoming
I left Oakheart Glen two decades ago
I never expected to return
But my husband wants to fulfil a decades held dream: finish his career playing for the Goshawks Rugby Club
Who am I to argue?
I know our return will put me on a collision course with Cian “Lucky Seven” Hughes
The man I promised to marry
The man who broke my heart
I need to hold it together
My husband needs me. My daughter needs me.
Can I keep our secret, or will I fumble our final pass?
Lucky
For two decades I’ve given my heart to the Goshawks Rugby Club
A final crack at the Championship and a glamour testimonial match show how they feel about me
But the return of an old foe threatens to take the shine off my glorious final season
Where Murray Walsh goes, trouble always follows
And there she is: Skye Stevenson
The woman who promised to marry me is right there on Murray’s arm
I locked my heart away years ago
But Skye needs help
And I’m the cinnamon roll hero
All is not as it seems
But will helping this damsel in distress risk breaking my heart right open…?
Sidelined Blurb:
Noa Keawe was only supposed to be a vacation fling
Fresh off a breakup, I took off to Barcelona to find myself…and ended up finding Noa.
The hulking, tattooed man I met in a park turned out to be everything my ex wasn’t: sweet, considerate, kind. And despite the vacation ending much too soon, he found a way to see me again.
I might have found the one. But then, my ex turned up…
I can’t have my heart broken again.
When my NFL contract ended, I expected a new one, one that solidified me as a franchise player for the Norwalk Breakers. But when that new contract never materialized, my girlfriend walked.
Hoping to occupy myself during the off-season, my teammates arrange a trip to Europe. A non-stop party to help me unwind.
Except, partying has never been my scene.
That’s when I met Lena Rynel, a woman completely unconcerned with who I am and how much money I make. Mostly because I don’t tell her.
When we pick up back home, I have to tell her the truth. Or at least I should.
Sidelined is a strangers-to-lovers football romance with a cinnamon roll player, a hidden identity, and a celebrity auction that threatens to unravel it all!
Keeping Her Safe Blurb:
Emery
I ran. I ran so fast and so far.
Needing to get away from him and promising myself
I would never trust another with my heart.
Six months later, everything changes when
a mysterious, sexy stranger walks into my salon for a haircut.
He says he wants to keep me safe,
but how can I trust him after the last man that shattered me?
Knox
Walking into her shop shifted my world off its axis.
As soon as I saw her, I knew I wanted her by my side.
Falling in love with her was an adventure I never anticipated.
Gaining her trust is no small feat when her past comes back to haunt her.
She is determined to keep me at an arm’s length,
But I am determined to keep her safe.
Safety Blurb:
Erin is a new bakery owner who is suddenly presented with a choice – alter her life to take custody of her young brother or stand by while he’s placed into the foster system. She’s a young woman who already shoulders a lot of responsibilities, but she knows she’d do anything in her power to keep her brother safe. Even if that means choosing her brother over her fiance.
Graham has been coming to Toothsome Delights for months, harboring a crush on the beautiful woman behind the glass and working up the courage to ask her out. When he realizes she’s volunteered to be the Team Mom for his recreation football team, he knows he’ll do whatever he can to make her see him.
When abusers resurface Erin’s fear makes her hesitant to keep Graham in their lives, but he’ll stop at nothing to protect the two people he’s come to care about more than he thought possible.
Only to Save You Blurb:
Lainey:
She walked into my life the moment I needed her most. On the cusp of a breakup, all I wanted was to be alone, until I met her. Suddenly, she’s all I can think about and I’m questioning everything I’ve known about myself.
Carter:
I didn’t believe in love at first sight until it happened to me. Now the cute barista is the only one on my mind and I’m not even sure if she likes women. The more I get to know her, the more smitten I am. So when she finally agrees to be mine it almost seems too good to be true.
Add in a stalker ex boyfriend and a chance at true love, Only to Save You is a Contemporary romance with some suspense.
Power Play Blurb:
He is playing for keeps…
Jessa Cole’s entire life revolves around hockey. She watches every NHL game, works at a non-profit charity that places kids into minor hockey programs, and finds three hungover AHL hockey players in the apartment that she still owns. Technically. But that non-profit job might become non-existent if she doesn’t get creative fast.
Zach Renshaw, center forward for the Hartford Hammerheads, is finally ready to make his NHL debut. He has trained hard, recovered from an almost career-ending injury, and is now determined to achieve his dream. He won’t let meeting a girl who becomes the only thing he can think about to change his plans…right?
When Zach learns that Jessa works for a charity that is close to his heart, he knows he will do anything to keep the program running. He’s determined to save the charity, but that’s not the only reason he’s getting so involved…

A sanctuary and an unexpected new beginning.
Ewan recognizes a woman on the run and can’t resist the urge to help. The danger from her past is certain to come calling. The safest place for her? With him.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy
I thoroughly enjoyed this latest book in the Kilted Hearts series!
We’d met Ewan previously in earlier books and while reading Protector in a Kilt it felt as if he was just going through the motions, existing but not really living ….. until he met Isobel.
Isobel, she was genuinely lovely. Having lost her family and, to all extents, having been held captive allowed only to focus on her craft, it was truly great seeing her slip into a new life in the village. Being treated like on of the locals and blossoming in her newfound freedom.
This pair were exactly what they each needed but hadn’t realised they were missing. Saying that, is there something in the water in Glenlaig that makes all the blokes a bit dense at times?? Communication in a relationship, especially a new one, is vital, something these lads should be passing on to their mates as soon as they discover this nugget of information themselves!!!
The intrigue in the story made for good reading and while I understood why Isobel didn’t try to find out what was happening around her, I did think that natural human instinct to know what to expect would have been stronger – but having the chance to be ‘normal’ was possibly a bigger draw for her and I get that!!!
As ever with this series we catch up with family (both blood and found) who do their bit, helping out and protecting their own where they can. I think one of my favourite things about Kait’s books is that sense of family, community and belonging that she writes so well.
That epilogue. I can’t wait to see how things go for Ewan & Isobel going forward. There were a few wee comments made during the read and some new faces introduced and I’m hoping (with everything crossed) that we’re gonna either get a few more books in the series or a wee spin off to find out more about Ewan’s buddies.
This instalment ended on an interesting note that sets us up for Single Dad in a Kilt….. I cannot wait for Afton & Hamish’s story….. I’ve got so many questions that I need answered!!!!

You have to be pretty desperate to consult someone referred to as the Drunken Psychic for insight into your perennially single status.
But that’s me...
• Working in a bakery despite dreaming of culinary school.
• Hanging out with my happily married friends and trying not to be gut-twistingly jealous.
• And renting a blissfully sweet one-bedroom apartment on the banks of a river that has been a much-needed refuge.
Until now.
Because tonight, after trying to make heads or tails of the psychic’s mysterious pronouncementsq
A very naked, very muscley, very handsome man.
𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝?
And things only get more confusing from there. We have a whole conversation, in which he reveals that he’s the star center for the Wilcox Wombats hockey team, Rock Stevens. And that Rock is actually his real name. And that he’s in town for a week for an all-star pickleball tournament. And that my apartment is actually his apartment.
And then he refuses to leave. Things only get more confusing from there.
As we try to navigate our sudden forced-roommates situation while the landlord gets to the bottom of the mixup, Rock decides to turn the tables. Instead of being annoyed that I’m in his apartment, he suddenly becomes charming. Sweet, even. And even though I know it’s a mistake, he charms me right up onto the kitchen counter, and… well, you can imagine the rest.

Author Bio
I’m USA Today Bestselling author Delancey Stewart. My contemporary romances run the gamut of settings and setups, but they always deliver humor, heart and heat. It’s a guarantee.
I write from my home in Denver, CO, where I manage a household full of boys and men. Okay, only one man. The hubs. But two boys. I mean, three if you count the hubs. (You see why I do words and not numbers. I was told there’d be no math in this bio. Someone lied.)
I grew up in California and have had more jobs than anyone on earth (personal trainer, pharmaceutical rep, copywriter, tech writer, marketing director, wine seller, elementary school teacher… I’m not kidding. The list. It goes on.) But the one I love the most is writing, in part because I get to meet people who love books and stories as much as I do!

WEEK ONE RELEASES – Cinnamon Roll Savior Collection
Title: Cinnamon Roll Saviors Collection
Genre: Steamy/Spicy Contemporary Romance
Week #1 Authors: Stormi Wilde, Ember Davis, Clarissa Dusk, and Stephanie Renee
Cover Design: CPR Designs
Release Dates: August 7-11, 2023
Week #1 Releases:
Taking Her by Stormi Wilde (TROPES: damsel in distress, forced proximity, instalove, protector)
Burning Love by Ember Davis (TROPES: firefighter, small town, instalove, damsel in distress)
Indebted Angel by Clarissa Dusk (TROPES: undercover cop, damsel in distress, mafia, enemies to lovers)
Have a Little Faith by Stephanie Renee (TROPES: single mom, enemies to lovers, small town)
Taking Her Blurb:
In the small town of Indigo Falls, two broken souls find salvation in each other’s arms in the most unexpected way.
Ocean Gallagher, a reclusive and ruggedly handsome E.M.T, has everything a man could want: wealth, good looks, and a tranquil existence. Yet, he hides a dark secret that tortures him daily—the memory of failing to save the one person who meant everything to him.
Amaya Sinclair, a vivacious and carefree spirit, is the co-owner of a whimsical gift shop and is determined to leave behind her past as a provocative cam girl.
But when Ocean and Amaya collide, an electric chemistry ignites, drawing them together with an intensity they can’t deny.
Together, Ocean and Amaya must summon the courage to confront their deepest fears and insecurities, daring to embrace love’s intoxicating allure. But will the scars that trample their souls keep them imprisoned in a world devoid of true happiness?
Burning Love Blurb:
HAILEY
Growing up and living in Sweetwater Valley is both a blessing and curse. Everyone is in your business, but there’s a community here that I’ve been part of my entire life. I have a few good friends and I know what to expect. The kids I teach keep me on my toes and that’s enough for me.
Knowing everyone around isn’t great for my love life, but I really can’t complain. I’m content with what I have until a small kitchen fire has the new firefighter in town coming to my rescue. While Wesley puts out the fire, he’s stoking flames in me I didn’t know existed.
Wesley is determined to make sure I know how he feels and never doubt him or his intentions. He’s not just my savior or hero, he’s the perfect man for me.
WESLEY
Being the new guy in town is always a little daunting, but moving to a small town where everyone seems to already know each other makes it even worse. I’m lucky that there’s a brotherhood I’m accepted into the moment I slip on my gear at the firehouse. It makes me think that Sweetwater Valley is exactly the place I’ve been looking for.
When I respond to a call with my crew and meet Hailey, I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be. She’s the woman I’ve been looking for. It’s no surprise I couldn’t find her in the city.
Hailey is all sweet smiles and cozy moments and I’m going to show her that fate brought us together. She calls me a hero, her savior, but she’s the one who saved me by giving me a home.
Indebted Angel Blurb:
I’m running out of money and time, and the mob are knocking on my door.
When my dad died, he didn’t leave me an inheritance. Instead, I inherited his debts to dangerous people, and I’ve been paying them for years. Their patience for my slow payments is growing thin, and when I lose my job I’m scared of what they’ll ask for now I’m out of money.
Except the man who turns up to collect isn’t what I expect.
He’s kind, sweet, and doesn’t seem like he should belong to the mob at all.
Is there more to Jesse than meets the eye? Can I trust him to save me, or will he disappoint me like everyone else?
Have a Little Faith Blurb:
Cinnamon Roll Hero (sin-a-mon roll he-ro): ( n ) a hero who is too sweet for this world…but will fight to the death for the people they care about
Nick: My job has always had its challenges. When you come into a failing business and tell the owner all the changes they should make, tensions always run high. But Faith may take the cake on the most difficult—which is fitting since I’m helping her struggling bakery. She’s hard-headed, stubborn, and a sharp pain in my side. Despite how obnoxious she may be, she somehow has taken up permanent residence in my mind. I find myself doing things I normally wouldn’t just to try get on her good side. I wonder what it would be like to kiss her hard enough to make her drop the attitude—or if that’s even possible.
Faith: Nick Winters is infuriating. I don’t care how good looking he is; I won’t have a stranger come in and try to change the bakery where my grandma built her legacy. Between running a business and taking care of my five-year-old daughter, I don’t have time for all of this. But since my investors deemed it necessary for this man’s help, I guess I have to play ball. Unfortunately, I really, really hate sports.
