Marrying the Grump by Joann Baker & Patricia Mason

shirtless man torso on book coverSassy meets surly in this steamy instalove romance.

Jenna: I’m a curvy, book loving nerd and I’m on a mission to save my beloved library. Driving all over Lone Mountain asking for donations isn’t in my job description, but I’ll do it.

When I’m unexpectedly stranded on a mountain roadside in the middle of a raging storm, I find myself being rescued by the infuriatingly sexy Race Gentry, a man as tough and untamed as the mountain he calls home. Burly and gruff, this mountain man and former soldier is certainly not my idea of Prince Charming. But the possessive way he looks at me has me ready to trade in my steamy romance novels for a walk on the wild side.

Race:I knew I was a goner the second I saw her lush curves and sweet, sassy mouth. The curvy spitfire showed up on my mountain out of nowhere, disrupting the peace and solitude I thought I wanted and bringing to the surface every overprotective instinct I’d long buried. She’s mine and I know it instantly. And if I have to convince her…well, that could be a whole lot of fun. We may be total opposites, but she fits me like fate.

Lone Mountain, Montana, is a small mountain community filled with gruff ex-military, ex-cons, and men whose natural language is grumpy! Each one of these burly heroes has a past they want to leave behind but can’t seem to forget. They crave the peace and quiet of their mountain to soothe their ragged souls. You can expect our signature curvy girls and grumpy men who know what they want with enough heat to keep you satisfied.

I Would Beg For You by Ava Becker

red and white flowers on book coverHe was the man who crushed my heart. Now, he might be the one to save it.

Valentino Andretti — Head of the Andretti family.
The man I’ve tried to bury in the past.
Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and now he’s back in my life.

When I unexpectedly run into him at the airport, I throw vitriol at this Italian manwhore.
I want him to experience the pain I felt when he rejected my innocent love.

Five years have only enhanced his brutally handsome good looks and panty-melting sensuality, reminding me of what could have been.

Yet when he helps me through a panic attack midflight, making love with only his heated gaze and strokes of his hand, my hostility melts away.
I’m a goner.

Instead of working on my father’s political campaign, I’m secretly meeting with Valentino, the growing passion between us burning hot.

But he remains strictly off limits.
Once best friends, our fathers grew to despise each other over the decades.
Now my father aims to destroy the Andretti mafia dynasty as he’s poised to become the next governor of New Jersey.

In a world where loyalty reigns supreme and love is a perilous gamble, I must decide if risking everything for Valentino is worth it. Because for him, I might just be willing to lose it all.

Warning: The scenes are explicit, full of profanity, occasionally violent, and meant for adults 21 and over.

Stand-In Bride by Adele Knight

When Charlotte attends her twin sister Eloise’s wedding, she does not expect to stand in for the bride during the ceremony.

It’s a marriage of convenience to save their father from bankruptcy, with a groom neither Eloise nor Charlotte has ever met. All shy and reserved Charlotte has to do is pretend to be her vivacious sister for a few hours, and then she can return to her quiet life, living inside her books.

Except, a few hours turns into an entire honeymoon.

If Charlotte confesses to the switch, she risks her father losing everything. So, she needs to play along until her sister gets back. It’s a fake marriage. How hard can it be?

The only problem is that the groom looks like someone who walked out of the pages of one of Charlotte’s romance novels and…

He never intended the marriage to be fake, especially not in the bedroom.

Anyone But The Boss by Sara L. Hudson

man in tux on book coverIn the new, sexy and hilarious novel from bestselling author Sara L. Hudson, find out what happens when a grumpy billionaire, a perpetually friendly marketing exec and a hairless cat with a catnip addiction spend a night in Vegas… (A black-eye for starters.)

Thomas Moore, heir to the glamorous New York department store Moore’s, has everything. Everything but a sense of humor. Probably why he’s so often compared to his philandering crook of a father.

Alice Truman, recently promoted from the sales floor, is determined to prove her worth. Even if that means smiling in the face of the arrogant and too-sexy-for-his-own-good Thomas Moore, who seems to think her unfit for her new position.

Avoidance works wonders until Alice’s best friend plans an Elvis-themed destination wedding with Thomas’ brother—a concept the modern Mr. Darcy loathes.

Throw in a hairless cat, a calamitous bachelorette party and some questionable cocktails, and things become… complicated. And when things get complicated, anyone but the boss would be better.
