COVER REVEAL – The Invitation by Adriana Locke
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous cover for The Invitation!

Releasing: September 23, 2024
Cover Design: Kari March Designs
Photographer: Ren Saliba
I hate Ripley Brewer.
So, why am I fake dating him while being trailed by cameras recording our every move?
My best friend was in a pinch, and she’s the only person in the world I would do anything for. Helping her by pretending to be in love with a stranger for a few weeks would net me good karma, a few bucks, and a bit of exposure—all of which I need desperately right now—to help secure my dream job.
Pretty straightforward, right?
What could go wrong?
Ripley. He’s what always goes wrong.
I’m surprised the producers hired Ripley and me for the reality show after we realized we would be working together and not with strangers, and we almost came to blows in the conference room. But they did. Now I’m stuck pretending to be in love with the biggest, cockiest, most gorgeous billionaire playboy in all of Tennessee.
I’m even more shocked at Ripley’s acting skills.
As we settle into our new roles, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the real Ripley from the character he’s portraying. His strong hand nestled in the small of my back blurs the line between reality and fiction. His dazzling green eyes and decadent smirk distract me from the man I loathe. I could almost believe his small acts of kindness—bringing me soup when I was sick and threatening to dismantle an overbearing ex—were because he was falling for me.
And that I’m falling for him, too.
This season of The Invitation began as an enemies-to-lovers (pretend) romance. Can we possibly finish it with a real-life happy ending?
From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a “sweet and spicy!” new romance between two people who are forbidden from falling in love but must share one bed.

WILD PITCH
Daytona Fury Series #1
by C.L. Rose
Release Date: October 24th

Cover Designer: Breezy Book Art
BLURB:
RIGGS
I’m known as the bad boy of baseball, and I’ve always used that to my advantage. Men want to be me. Women want to be with me. I’ve ridden that wave all the way to the top. But when my quick temper lands me in hot water with my team, I have to think fast in order to save my spot on the Daytona Fury roster. Unfortunately, the only person who can help me carry out my crazy plan is the one woman I can’t stand, but also want so badly that I can barely control myself.
MONROE
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My pretentious parents controlled my every move, and when I finally realized it was more for their interests than mine, I left home and started fresh, reinventing myself into the woman I always wanted to be. But when I unexpectedly find myself needing a source of income, the only option is to move to Daytona and pretend to date a man I loathe—the same man who, after one wild night last year, ruined me for anyone else. I’m here to do a job and move on to the next chapter of my life. I just have to figure out a way to resist him so I don’t get caught in his grip for a second time.

RELEASE BLITZ – Rally (Treasure State Wildcats #3) by Devney Perry
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Rally by Devney Perry is now live!

An accidental pregnancy, small town, sports romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Devney Perry.

Pregnant. Homeless. Broke. Not what I’d expected for my senior year in college. Neither was Rush Ramsey.
We met the day I went camping and got stranded on the side of a gravel road. I didn’t believe in white knights who freed damsels in distress. Life had taught me that if something bad could happen, it probably would. The only person who would save me was me.
But Rush Ramsey rescued me that day. He was sweet and kind and charming. He made a dark, starry night a little less lonely.
I should have realized it was too good to be true. That an incredible night of passion would come with consequences. That the bad luck rollercoaster I’d been riding for twenty-one years wasn’t ready to stop.
Because Rush Ramsey, Treasure State University’s most eligible bachelor and quarterback extraordinaire, just got me pregnant.

NEW RELEASE – Wallflower (Aster Springs #1) by Samantha Leigh
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

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.

RELEASE BLAST – The Summer Camp Swap (Summer Fling #3) by Kait Nolan
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

THE SUMMER CAMP SWAP
Summer Fling #3
Kait Nolan

Release Date: July 26
It’s a terrible idea.
Impersonating her twin for staff orientation at Camp Firefly Falls is sure to end badly, but Sarah Meadows can’t say no. It’s just a quick two-week break to help her sister out of a jam, then she’ll be back to finishing her stalled master’s thesis. Except when her sexy, ex-park ranger partner uncovers her secret, Sarah’s summer takes an unexpected turn.
Beckett Hayes knows he should report Sarah to the boss. But intrigued by her determination and pulled in by those big, doe eyes, he decides to train her instead. He can’t help but root for the underdog, especially when the underdog starts to wiggle her way into his heart.
Sarah’s leaving in a matter of days, so a workplace romance is the last thing they need, but that doesn’t stop either of them from diving in. Except a situationship isn’t part of Sarah’s long-term plans. As the clock counts down to the swap, the lines between duty and desire blur. Can Beckett convince Sarah to follow her heart, or will they have to be satisfied with only a summer fling?
Find out in this charming conclusion to the Summer Fling trilogy!
