RELEASE BLITZ – The Invitation by Adriana Locke
The Invitation by Adriana Locke is now live!
I hate Ripley Brewer.
So, why am I cuddling on his lap, peering into his ocean-blue eyes while cameras record our every move?
My best friend needs my help to save her career, and I would do anything for her. Besides, filming a reality show sounds fun … until Ripley shows up to play the role of my fake boyfriend.
As always, we nearly come to blows within minutes of seeing each other. The playboy billionaire accuses me of a setup, but I insist I’d rather live in a world without carbs than spend a minute with him.
At some point during the melee, we sign contracts. I can’t stand the look of his six feet two inches of chiseled abs and broad shoulders. And I loathe his arrogance. But now that he’s my pretend beau, I’m stuck acting like I’m falling in love with my biggest enemy.
It turns out that Ripley’s a good actor, too. Every soft touch on the small of my back makes my heart thump faster. His sultry smirk feels like it’s only for me. I should detest every word that passes his kissable lips.
Is this all a ruse, or does Ripley want to end this episode of The Invitation going from enemies to lovers? Because now? I’m not convinced I can despise him anymore.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

RELEASE BLAST – Ivy’s Arch (Puffin Bay #6) by Annie Dyer
IVY’S ARCH
Puffin Bay #6
Annie Dyer
Release Date: August 1
I was connected to Iris through a shared loss – Ivy – her older sister, who was also my best friend.
For a long time, we corresponded through letters. Old fashioned ink and paper on which we shared everything.
A mistaken one night stand when we were both drunk with grief didn’t ruin our friendship. We moved on. We carried on writing to each other. We stayed friends.
Four years later, and Iris is asking me for a favour. She wants a baby and needs a father, which isn’t going to be straightforward for either of us.
I say yes, pretending this will be easy. Knowing it won’t be.
Especially when that one night stand with Iris doesn’t feel like a mistake anymore – and I want more than a repeat.
I want forever.
Tropes: older sister’s best friend; friends-to-lovers; small town; planned pregnancy
TW: death of a sibling, infertility, IVF

NEW RELEASE – Wallflower (Aster Springs #1) by Samantha Leigh
WALLFLOWER
Aster Springs #1
Samantha Leigh
Release Date: July 31
Blurb:
He’s the grumpy hotshot hockey player. She’s too shy to look him in the eyes. He needs a live-in summer assistant and she’s perfect.
Chord Davenport is the hottest, surliest man to ever slap shot a puck. He’s given up everything to be the best—family, friendship, love—but he’s about to retire as a legend of the game and that makes his sacrifices worth it.
Violet James wanted to be the next big name in bridal couture not a junior marketing executive for the San Francisco Fury hockey team, but her salary pays her dad’s therapy bills and leaving him behind to chase a selfish dream would cost her too much.
When Chord hires Violet as his summer assistant, he’s certain this pretty wallflower won’t give him any trouble. But when she moves into the house he built on his family’s California ranch, Chord can’t take his eyes—or his hands—off her.
All he wants is to love her, protect her, satisfy her, and give her the courage to follow her heart. He didn’t expect to feel a desperate need to become a better man.
In just one summer, Chord and Violet change each other forever, but will living their dreams be the very thing that tears them apart?
‘Wallflower’ is a grumpy/sunshine steamy small town romance with an HEA. It’s the first book in the Aster Springs series and can be read as a standalone.
