Lucy Score - The body in the backyard
Her self-absorbed news anchor ex-husband careening back into her life was not on this amateur psychic detective's bingo card.Not only does Griffin Gentry show up unexpectedly at Riley Thorn's door—the real shock is that he's begging her for help. Riley's hot private investigator boyfriend Nick Santiago refusing to take the job is…well, less of a surprise. Too bad for Nick that his octogenarian business partner overrules him and takes the lead on Griffin's case. But when a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley's ex, the mile-long suspect list means all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Even the wrinkly, retired ones.It's only a matter of time before Griffin brings the danger directly to their doorstep. And with Riley and Nick busy interviewing suspects, that leaves their elderly roommates to wreak havoc in the surveillance department. Can Riley block out the chaos to focus her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the list of suspects? Or will Griffin Gentry's bad karma be the downfall of them all?

Giana Darling - Asking for trouble
When four thugs show up at Evergreen Gas Station with cocked shotguns and masked faces, it could have ended in the worst night of my life.
Instead, a gorgeous mystery man in leather, silver, and too many tattoos strolls into the middle of the robbery and becomes my unlikely savior with a tarnished halo.
Only, what seemed like a random hold-up at first turns into something far more complicated and Aaron Clare isn't the type of man to leave a woman in distress.

Kristen Proby - Wildest Dreams
Ryan Wild thought he had everything he could ever want. A billionaire before thirty, he's finally
moved back home to Bitterroot Valley, built a beautiful house on his ranch, and has
recently adopted a teenage boy who has brought nothing but joy into his life. The only thing that's been missing is the feeling of Polly in his arms since their incredible night together months ago. Memories of her touch aren't nearly enough to satisfy him, and Ryan will do anything he can to make her his.
Polly can't forget the one night she spent with Ryan all of those months ago, but she understood that it was a one-time deal. Yes, she still thinks about the sexy billionaire cowboy and his strong arms wrapped around her, but she's a busy woman, with a thriving clothing shop and a group of friends that keep her on her toes. When you add in a house that always needs repairs, Polly's days and nights are completely full. But when Ryan starts coming around, tempting her with that killer smile, heated bedroom eyes, and generous gifts, how is she supposed to stay away from him?
Polly knows how important the bond between father and son is and feels guilty for taking
some of Ryan's attention away from Jake, especially when Ryan whisks her away to Paris for
the romantic vacation of her dreams. And just when the three of them start to settle in together, where Polly, Jake and Ryan start to feel like a family, she starts getting warnings and prank phone calls. Someone wants to come between them and their growing relationship.
The love they share is beyond their wildest dreams, but when danger lurks, will they be back apart forever?
J.Saman - Undeniably Forbidden
In my defense, I had no clue the gorgeous guy I had a wildly steamy night with was my brother's best friend. Or the single dad of the little girl I was about to nanny.
I hadn't seen Dr. Owen Fritz since I was twelve and he was twenty-four, but even back then, I didn't care much about him.
He was doing his billionaire, master-of-the-universe, medical school thing, and I was too into art and books to notice anyone.
Now he's cold and broody, but he doesn't scare me the way he does everyone else.
He's been scarred, but I've been scarred worse.
We both promised to leave that night in the past, vowing to keep this secret between us and stay professional from now on.
Especially since I'm living with him—sleeping down the hall from him—and his adorable little girl.
Until one night of hell everything changes and all those promises we've been struggling to keep don't just break, they shatter.
Now there's no holding him back.
And the more he watches me with those magnetic eyes or whisks me into dark corners and puts his heated hands on my body, the more I forget why what we're doing is so undeniably forbidden.
We're playing with an unstoppable fire.
And we're both about to get burned.
Penelope Douglas - Five Brothers
One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers.
On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain…
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don't think I've ever seen him smile.
Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.
Iron will be in prison soon. You'd never think it to meet him. He's a nice guy, actually. But he can't stop reacting to everything.
Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever's left.
And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.
Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents' big house. On my clean street. Where I'm never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.
Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn't stop there.
I don't think it was Trace.
Becka Mack - Fall with me
It was supposed to be a one-night stand. But what if they can't leave it in the past?
Jaxon Riley is exceptional at three things: starting fights on the ice, picking up women post-game, and going home to fulfill his role as the world's best cat dad. Relationships, unfortunately, missed the list.
Lennon Hayes is supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead, she's alone and single, vacationing next door to a surly tattooed man who ran his date off the resort. When a run-in at the bar results in a night of bickering and cocktails, she finds herself tumbling into bed with the enemy next door, then sneaking out before the sun comes up.
Lennon's plan to start over in a new city is going great, until she starts her new job. The job? The Vancouver Vipers' new photographer. And the defenseman scowling at her from across the room? The one-night stand she wasn't supposed to see again. Good thing neither of them are looking for anything serious… Right?
Jaxon may not be used to falling, but if he's going to go, he refuses to go alone. If he falls, he wants Lennon to fall with him.

The man was confident, smooth, gorgeous as sin.
We had a connection that I had never felt with anyone.
Or so I thought, because the next morning, he was gone before I woke up with a note that led me to believe he was not interested in a repeat.
Feeling rejected and confused, I managed to put him out of my head.
Until now, on my first day of my new job.
Because the man responsible for the best night of my life?
...Is my married boss.
And he hasn’t stopped thinking about me either.
Elena Armas - The fiancé dilemma
Josie Moore has given the opposite sex—and love—plenty of chances. Four exactly, if you count all her failed engagements, and five if you include the absentee father who kept her existence a secret until very recently. So when her father decides to announce his retirement with a splashy magazine piece about the family, Josie realizes her romantic history is a complicated PR issue.
Matthew Flanagan is in the mud, literally. Not only has he been fired from his job, but also the tires of his car are stuck in the muck after taking a wrong turn as he enters Green Oak, North Carolina. So, he grabs a duffel with his essentials and goes in search of a place to crash until he gets his life back on track. But instead, he finds his best friend's sister, Josie, greeting him as her fiancé.
What starts as a big messy misunderstanding quickly turns into an arrangement with Matthew playing a new role as doting fiancé. A fifth engagement—and a stunt, at that—makes Josie's stomach turn, but every dilemma requires a choice between equally undesirable alternatives, and Matthew doesn't seem to mind becoming one more number in a colorful list of grooms-that-never- were. Despite the ring on her finger, Josie knows this is only temporary, even if the rest of the small town believes that the fifth time's the charm.
