Excerpt:
When I get to her place, I dig through the back seat of my truck to find something cleaner to wear than the clothes I have on now. I dig up a sports bag that must’ve been in there for a couple of months, since I haven’t been to the gym in at least that long. But at least it holds a pair of clean socks, a shirt, and some sweats that smell better than the jeans I have on. I didn’t realize how foul I reeked until the beautiful aroma from the pizza was overwhelmed by the smell of cow shit. No way I can eat smelling like this.
Using Janey’s bathroom—which is permeated by her scent—is the worst kind of torture. I briefly contemplate polishing one off in the shower, but decide against it. Instead, I turn the faucet to cold for a few minutes before I step out.
Janey is on her couch, her feet tucked under her as she’s watching the news on TV. The pizza and iced teas, along with a couple of plates and napkins, are waiting on the coffee table.
“Unless you want to sit at the table?” she asks when I walk in.
“Not particularly.”
I drop down beside her.
“You could’ve started without me,” I suggest.
“You weren’t that long,” she returns, reaching to flip open the pizza box.
My stomach rumbles loudly as she loads three pieces on a plate and hands it to me, before serving herself.
I was wrong; sitting next to Janey as she moans through her first tastes of a cheesy bratwurst pizza has to be the worst kind of torture by far.
Blurb:
Since taking over the veterinary clinic in Libby, Montana last year, Janey Richards has been burning the candle at both ends. She’s grateful she is busy, but there has barely been any time to build a life outside of work. To help pay down her debt faster, she agrees to take on responsibility for the livestock at Libby’s annual rodeo, but perhaps she should’ve thought twice about the added stress.
Although, her personal life is definitely looking up.
JD Watike never thought he’d end up following in his father’s footsteps, but he’s found his stride these past six years as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team. He enjoys the simplicity of small-town living, which has only gotten more interesting since Doc Richards appeared on the scene.
Spending most of the past year patiently observing from a distance, the time feels right for him to make his move.
Or at least to clear up some misunderstandings.
The opportunity presents itself sooner than expected, when the pretty veterinarian stumbles onto some serious criminal activity at the Libby Roundup, and a young woman disappears from the grounds, he has plenty of cause to stay glued to her side.

RELEASE BLITZ – Shadow (Addington Ranch #1) by Aubree Valentine
Shadow
Addington Ranch #1
by Aubree Valentine
Ten years away has taught Lindsey Addington to go after what she wants and her sights are set on Garrett Everleigh. Lindsey will do whatever it takes to break down Garrett’s walls and convince him to take a chance on love.
Blurb
Welcome to Addington Ranch… where the cowboys steal hearts and the women tame wild stallions.
Garrett Everleigh has been waiting (and half heartedly dreading) the day that Lindsey Addington, an heir to the Addington Ranch, returned home from chasing her horse show dreams.
Lindsey is everything the rugged, determined ranch hand has ever wanted—and everything he can’t have. Especially if he wants to keep his job and the ‘family’ that chose him. The only family Garrett has.
Ten years away has taught equestrian royalty, Lindsey Addington, exactly what – and who – she wants. Far more stubborn than Garrett ever gave her credit for, Lindsey won’t let his reservations – or his secrets – keep them from having the relationship they deserve.
Putting a decade of training with thousand pound animals to good use, Lindsey turns her insight and training on Garrett and breaks down every ounce of his resolve until he breaks.
Fans of Yellowstone and Heartland will fall in love with this best friend’s little sister/forbidden romance that sets the tone for this new, exciting, and highly anticipated series from Aubree Valentine.

Excerpt
Copyright 2025, Author Aubree Valentine
“What are you doing out here, Linds? You’ve got a party going on, you know?”
“I know. I came out here to see you,” she gently elbowed him.
“You should get back to your party.”
“Maybe later,” she turned up the dial on what little of sex appeal she thought she had and moved so that she was kneeling on the ground beneath his open thighs. “Right now, I came out here because I wanted to tell you something.”
“Don’t,” Garrett grunted and stood, trying to put space between them.
Lindsey stood just as quickly and grabbed ahold of his biceps. “Garrett, will you at least look at me, please?”
Garrett squeezed his eyes closed. “I can’t, Linds. I can’t look at you because if I do, all of my resolve will break.”
That confession was a tiny reassurance that at least Garrett had some kind of feelings for her too. It was all the encouragement she needed to keep trying.
“Then let it,” she begged. She wanted to see his resolve break. She wanted him to give into whatever it was that he was fighting and give in to her.
Garrett opened his eyes and put his hands on Lindsey’s shoulders. This time she could see the hunger lingering in his eyes. “Is that really what you want, Linds? Do you really want me to give into temptation?”
That was exactly what she wanted. What she’d been longing for. She was eighteen now after all. Nothing was stopping them from letting the attraction take over. “Of course,” she whispered in return.
“Tell me exactly what you want, Linds,” Garrett brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
“Kiss me.”
“I shouldn’t,” he argued.
Lindsey could think of a million reasons why he should.
“But you will,” she batted her eyes and bit her lip, “won’t you?”
“Damnit,” he cursed under his breath.
Then his lips were on hers.
She half expected Garrett to be gentle, or to immediately back away again. But he didn’t. Once his lips touched hers, he devoured her like he was a man starved for far too long. And with every ounce of experience that came with kissing a man and not the desperate nervousness of Lindsey’s first kiss and former high school boyfriend.
Everything about Garrett’s kisses were better than she could have ever imagined. They were all-consuming. Promising. And for a split second, she let herself believe that they really could have it all. That the two of them could be so much more someday soon.
“Shit, Lindsey,” Garrett broke their kiss like she was a flame and she’d just burnt him. “I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry,” he said as he started pacing around.
She should have walked away then. Took the victory of winning a kiss and walked away. Forgotten about her feelings and the happily ever after she thought included Garrett. Except she couldn’t.
“Garrett,” she moved toward him, countering every step he took backwards until he bumped into a tree. With his body pinned against the hard bark, she wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his shoulder, soaking in as much of Garrett and the moment as she could.
“Linds, I…we shouldn’t. You’re getting ready to leave for college. You don’t need a man like me holding you back.”
“Garrett,” she looked up into his eyes. “I really need you to kiss me again. Let me have this. Let me have you. All of you. Even if it’s just for tonight.”

COVER REVEAL – Playing Mr. Perfect (The Bradens at Ridgeport) by Melissa Foster
Melissa Foster has revealed the covers for Playing Mr. Perfect!
Releasing February 12, 2025
What happens in Paris, stays in Paris, right?
Oh, Pepper. If only…
Okay, I admit it.
Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I’m in the City of Love, I’d had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts–two things I never buy into–and I threw caution to the wind.
I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he’s already up.
In more ways than one.
Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I’m not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.
Actually, he makes it impossible.
The thing is, I don’t even know who that woman was.
And now he’s determined to find out.

COVER REVEAL – The Way We Score (The Bradford Boys #3) by Tia Louise
Tia Louise has revealed the covers for The Way We Score!
Releasing January 16, 2025
Photographer: Wander Aguiar
Cover Designer: Lori Jackson Design
Cover Illustrator: Laura Moore
LCM Designs
Cover Designer: Kari March Designs
We promised our love was forever. A decade later, two little blue lines might settle the score.
You’ve heard of those kids who peak in high school?
Meet my love life.
Garrett Bradford was mine from the moment we saw each other in ninth grade.
Even then, he was a six-foot-four mountain of muscles with bright blue eyes, a wide grin, and a way with his hands.
He was the high school football star, and I was the dance team captain.
We were the storybook cliché… until we weren’t.
Now he’s the most famous offensive lineman in the league, and I’m a buttoned-up, ultra-professional lawyer.
My dancing days are over, and my carefully controlled life is a mess.
Infertility killed my marriage, or that’s what I told myself. Infertility and a cheating ex.
And my inability to get over Garrett Bradford.
One reckless night at his little sister’s wedding is only supposed to be a reunion, a trip down memory lane to a time when life was happier.
Six weeks later, I’m staring at a positive pregnancy test wondering, How did this happen?
I figure I’m on my own until Garrett overhauls his life, moves back to our small town, and shows up every day to massage my feet, hold my hair when I barf, and go with me to all my doctor’s appointments.
Our situation has an end date, just like it did so many years ago.
Unless this little score changes the game and gives us the second chance I thought we’d lost.

Genre: Small Town Romance
Release Date: October 25, 2024
From USA Today Bestselling Authors, Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe, comes sixth book in a small town series full of spice, steam, and second chances.
Britt
I might be newly divorced, but it feels like I’ve been single a long time. That’s how it goes when you’re been married to a guy that can’t ever be counted on. And being a single mom–well, opportunities to date anyone worthy of being around my daughter are pretty slim… until I have an unexpected run in with the hot ER doctor who patched me up after I broke my leg. He checks all the boxes. Hot. Funny. Gainfully employed. Not my ex. Even though I’m not in the market for a relationship, I feel like he might be able to help me fix what’s broken inside me… if I can let myself trust him.
Silas
I haven’t been able to get her out of my head since the night she was brought into the ER. Stoic, practical, strong, independent. And gorgeous. I’ve never had a woman get under my skin this way. She’s looking for a hook up. I’m looking for a lot more than that. But I know she’s a package deal. With her track record, gaining her trust isn’t going to be easy. But nothing that’s worth it ever is.
