Blurb:
Lorelai Anderson got under my skin years ago and I’d never been able to get her out.
When I found out she had a crush on me I turned into the biggest dick around. I did what I did to keep her away. I knew I wasn’t the man she needed, and her brother agreed.
Then I left town to play hockey which was both a blessing and a curse.
When I got signed to the Dominators and returned to Vancouver, I suppose I got what I deserved. Not only did Lorelai hate my guts, but she had a boyfriend. So, I kept my distance from her, until her friend started dating one of my teammates. I had no choice but to come around. It got worse when I got the invitation to her brother’s wedding. There was no way I could back out.
As my luck would have it Lorelai and I end up on the same flight to Hawaii and that’s when I find out she is very single. I also find out that her ex is going to be at this wedding and despite having a new girlfriend, the cheating jerk is harassing her to get back together with him. When she breaks down in tears, I do that only thing I can think of. I make a split-second decision to be her boyfriend for the wedding and get Hugo off her back. I figure it’s helping her out but for me it’s the perfect opportunity to convince her I’m not the same guy I used to be.
I want her to know I’m the man she deserves and I’m going to put everything on the line to get her to be mine.

RELEASE BLITZ – Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson
Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson is now live!
I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door…
It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.
I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.
Hailey Wagner.
It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.
My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.
Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.
When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.
I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.
Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.
But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…

Hitting the road with my brother’s BFF—recipe for bliss or total miss?
Scarlett
My always-has-it-together big brother is getting married in a charming but remote town. With limited transportation options, he arranged a ride for me with his cocky best friend, Jett Ryder, the bad-boy rockstar of my teenage dreams.
I’m determined to handle being in close quarters with Jett, teasing and all. I’m an accountant, not a groupie. How hard could it be?
Yet as the miles tick by, it’s getting harder to ignore Jett’s smoldering glances and how his husky voice makes my heart race.
The attraction is real, but so is the fear of falling for a guy who may hurt me. I’m not cut out for the rockstar lifestyle, and Jett’s not the settling-down type. Despite our differences, I’m discovering a side of Jett I never knew existed, and it’s making me question everything I thought I knew about him.

From USA Today Bestselling Authors, Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe, comes the third book in a brand new small town series full of spice, steam, and second chances.
Ashley
Dixie Plaza. The hell hole I grew up in, is my new home, courtesy of my Dad’s petty spite. He sold my grandma’s house out from under me and now all I can afford is this beat up trailer. But Dixie Plaza isn’t all bad.
The hot, single dad neighbor with a slightly shady past and a killer smile? That’s definitely a plus. The way my pulse kicks up when he turns that smile in my direction? That’s a problem.
Ford
How the hell am I supposed to stay away from this woman when my kid adores her and the feeling is obviously mutual? I don’t have time to get involved with the pretty brunette who is not trailer park material. My daughter is my only priority. So what if I see my gorgeous new neighbor in my dreams? I’m a grown man who knows you don’t always get what you want.
But what if it’s not about wanting her. What if it’s about needing her? And that… that scares the hell out of me.
Read an Excerpt:
Pulling into the gas station, I park, and glance inside. Ashley. She’s a complication I hadn’t counted on. A surprise I wasn’t prepared for. She looks fucking miserable standing there behind the register. Like she’s trying to hold back tears that are threatening to escape down that beautiful face of hers. Her fucker of a father should be in jail next to Felicity’s mother, but some people don’t get what’s coming to them the way they should.
Getting out, I walk in, tipping my chin at her as I head over to the cooler. There’s a plethora of energy drinks that all taste horrible and make my heart pound, but I need them to stay awake. Going up to the counter, I slap the can down, and give her a smirk. “Pack of Marlboro Reds too.”
She looks me up and down, her light eyes traveling all over my body. “Both of those things are going to kill you, ya know? Fifteen thirty five.”
“So will old age, but at least I’ll enjoy these.” I quirk my eyebrows at her, as I slide sixteen bucks across the counter. “Unless you wanna give me something else to enjoy.” This is the first time I’ve blatantly flirted with her like this, and I don’t even know what makes me do it right now. Other than the fact I need to feel like something other than a father working his ass off, and she appears to need something other than this damn job.
Her head tilts to the side. Tongue goes out to lick her lips. “You keep playing your cards right, Chevy and I might.”
I snort loudly, laughing at the guts she possesses. “You know my name’s Ford, and if I’m lucky maybe you’ll be screaming it one day soon.” With those words, I turn on my heel and walk toward the door.
“What about your change?”
I turn back to face her. “Keep it safe for me. If I ever need something, I’ll ask for it back.”
She takes the coins out of the register and slides them in her pocket. “All you have to do is ask.”
