Cover Designer: Chelsea Kemp
I kissed Felix Bailey, AKA my older brother’s best friend. My friend. I’ve known him since I was a child, and I’ve been in love with him since I was a teen.
One drunken night after too many spiked egg nogs, I made a move…and Felix made it clear that he wasn’t interested.
So I took my wounded heart back to California, where I’ve stayed for the past three years. Now, I’m heading back to Thistle Ridge, WA—the cozy, Christmas-loving town I’ve missed way too much—where I’ll be forced to face Felix since he’s my brother’s best man.
We’re pushed together right away, and while part of me loves it, the part that was rejected hurts…or at least it does, until Felix does the one thing I never thought he’d do…
This time, he kisses me, and I’m elated. It’s everything I ever wanted. So why is the urge to flee so strong? Felix hurt me once before, and I can’t let it happen again.
I’m looking for a Christmas miracle to help me decide. Who thought it could come in the form of a bright yellow cab?

There was a
beat of silence. For some reason I continued to stand there. Rafe looked at me
for a few more seconds, like he was deciding something. Then he lifted his
chin, gesturing toward the hallway. “You just got back from a run?”
I nodded.
“First one since I left Montana.”
“How was it?”
“Definitely
different. There are so many people out on the streets.”
He smiled.
“There’s an art to dodging the slow walkers and people glued to their phone.
You’ll pick it up.”
“I’m guessing
I’ll also learn to stop apologizing to people I cut around. I think I said ‘I’m
sorry’ a hundred times on an hour-long run.”
“Dead
giveaway you’re from out of town.”
I laughed.
“That and the fact that I’m wearing purple. What is it with everyone wearing
black in New York? Especially women. They’re all in black pants, black
leggings, black tops, black coats, black purses…”
His eyes
flicked over me again—this time I definitely didn’t imagine it. “I like that
you wear color.”
My stomach
did a small, traitorous flip. “Thanks.”
Another pause
stretched between us, this one charged in a way I couldn’t quite explain. Then
Rafe walked to the table and grabbed his shirt, pulling it on. It made me
wonder if he’d caught himself looking at me and felt wrong—exactly the way
watching him felt for me.
“I, uh, I’m
sorry Calder and I didn’t make it to your girlfriend’s show the other day.”
Rafe smiled.
“Not my girlfriend and not a big deal.”
“How was it?”
“Good. I like
plays better than musicals, but it was fun watching someone I know become
someone else onstage.”
Maybe that’s
why it sometimes felt like he was watching me—because being around him turned me
into someone else. Or maybe this was the real me. I wasn’t sure who the hell I
was anymore.
“Any good
plans for the week?” he asked. “You start your new job soon, right?”
I nodded.
“The Monday after next. I’m planning to hit a different museum each day as I
count down.”
“Nice. I love
museums. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I used to beg my
babysitter to take me to the Museum of Natural History. I’ve probably been
there fifty times over the years. It’s still one of my top two favorites.”
“What’s the
other one?”
“It’s called
the Noguchi.”
“I’ve never
heard of it.”
He nodded.
“It’s in Queens, so it’s not as popular as the museums in Manhattan that the
tourists hit. It has a lot of sculptures, but the best part is the outdoor
garden. It’s one of the most peaceful places in the five boroughs.”
“I’ll have to
check it out.”
“It’s a good
place to think. Or not think.”
I laughed. “I
might need both of those this week.”
He held my
gaze for a second, like he understood more than I’d said out loud. “Yeah…you
should go.”
I shifted my
weight, suddenly aware again that I was still lingering in his doorway. “Thanks
for the recommendation.”
“Anytime.”
Another
pause. Why wasn’t I leaving?
Rafe smiled.
“I was just going to make some breakfast. Want to join me?”
I thumbed
toward the hall. “I should probably get upstairs and shower.”
“You sure?
Your boyfriend texted and told me to keep an eye on you while he’s away. I
think that might include making sure you don’t start any more cooking fires.”
“I didn’t
start—”
Rafe laughed.
“I’m teasing. Go take your shower. I’ll have breakfast ready when you’re done.
Consider it payback for helping my aunt.”
I hesitated.
I should’ve said no, even though everything in me wanted to say yes. But I
didn’t. “Okay. I’ll be quick.”
“No rush.”
I forced
myself to start up the stairs.
It’s just
breakfast.
No big
deal.
Calm down
already.
Heck,
Calder told
him to look out for me.
Still, I took
a little more time in the shower than usual and let my mind wander to places it
shouldn’t. When I got out, I wrapped a towel around myself and started digging
through my drawers for something to wear. One drawer, then the next, and
eventually moving onto the closet.
I blew out a
breath.
I was being
ridiculous. Who cares what I wear? I was going downstairs to eat eggs,
not attend a black-tie event.
And yet…
I sprayed on
a little perfume. Took a few extra minutes fixing my hair. Put on eyeliner when
I normally just brushed on a bit of mascara. By the time I got dressed, it felt
like I’d crossed an invisible line I hadn’t meant to step over.
Or maybe I
had.
I shook the
thought away. It’s just freaking breakfast. I grabbed my phone, took one
more glance in the mirror, and headed back downstairs.
A new, shockingly forbidden standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland…
Sometimes one floor is all that separates the life you planned from the life you never saw coming…
Moving to New York with my boyfriend, Calder, was supposed to be a fresh start.
A new city. A new job. A beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn we’d call home. The beginning of our forever.
There was just one catch: Calder’s best friend lived in the apartment downstairs.
Rafe—a gifted artist who smashed glass into masterpieces. With his unruly blond hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me, he was impossible to ignore.
He was also completely off-limits.
Yet somehow, every walk past his apartment or trip to the basement laundry room turned into another deep conversation neither of us ever wanted to end.
At first, it was innocent.
Then I found myself looking forward to running into him again.
Before long, I was creating opportunities to be around him.
Somehow, Rafe and I made each other feel seen in ways neither of us expected.
I tried to ignore our connection, reminding myself that Calder’s best friend was the last man on Earth I could ever fall for.
But with every stolen moment, that lie became harder to believe.
Maybe some love stories aren’t about finding the right person—but what happens when you find them too late.

Marni, you really do save the best for last.
The Forbidden One is the final book in Marni’s The Weston Group series, and wow, she brings it all with this one.
I know going into any book by Marni that her writing is going to captivate me. What I had not expected were the emotional tears to fall.
Eden – I adore and admire this woman. She is so strong, and watching her grow through this story was unbelievably awesome.
Let’s not forget about Troy. This man is every green flag you want in a partner. Marni is known for her sexy, alpha men but with Troy, she brought all of it!!
If you read previous books in this series, you know we have some bits and pieces of Troy. However, what I didn’t expect was to see how intertwined Eden and Troy’s lives were. The patience Troy had, and how he waited (this man WAITED!!) for when Eden was finally ready – yea, I was a goner.
That’s all I am saying because saying anything more gives way too much away.

But the longer our worlds collide, the harder it is to remember which battles are worth winning. Now she’s the woman I can’t stay away from, even when the cost might be everything I’ve worked years for.
Rowan The company. The inheritance. The family name. I’ve fought to protect it all from Holden Knight, but nothing prepared me to face him again. Every look, every touch, every ruthless move he makes drags me deeper back into him. The line between love and hate has never been thinner. And this time, falling for him could destroy us both.

The undeniable chemistry and tension between Rowan and Holden is still strong as ever, and no matter what, these two cannot resist the pull of one another. However, there are secrets and lies that prevent them from wholly acting on those feelings.
Kristy keeps these pages turning with all the twists, turns and edge-of-your-seat uncertainty. I love that we get to see more of the family dynamics and how different they all really are.
But we finally get the HEA and it was well worth it!!

New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property in a small beach town. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.
No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.
Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he’s also certain he’ll outlast his competitor.
Jade Buchanan is brilliant, ruthless, and absolutely not losing to him.
But the house seems to have a mind of its own. With faulty wiring, a leaking roof, drafty windows and the occasional wild-life infestation, it just might be trying to kill them. And the more Damon and Jade try to oust each other from the property, the more it brings them together.
Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.
It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you’ve ever wanted anything.
But when rivalry becomes something more than they ever expected, Damon and Jade discover love can be a very good bad idea.
Audiobook Narrated by: Sean Masters & Brooke Bloomingdale
Vivian McKay loved her life in the States, but she’s finding a freedom in London she can’t deny. She’s studying and working with a mentor at McKay-Taggart and Knight. It’s exciting and fills something inside her, especially the covert ops work with MI6. She’s learning the art of espionage and intelligence work but from the safe confines of a comfy desk.
Until a mission goes wrong and she finds herself in the middle of a dangerous game she has no idea how to play.
Malcolm Mays spent a lot of time getting shot at in various parts of the world as a member of British Special Forces. After being forced to retire due to injuries, he signs on at McKay-Taggart and Knight. It’s a job for now while he finds a way to get back to where he belongs. He’ll make some money, heal and decide on how to spend the rest of his life. What he didn’t count on was meeting Vivian. She’s too young for him. Not merely in age but in experience. And yet he can’t stop thinking about her.
When Vivian’s life is threatened, Malcolm finds himself at a crossroads that could lead to happiness or the greatest danger he’s ever encountered.
Two fake names and a simple agreement—one night only, wherever the moonshine takes us.
I don’t have time for the cool, older guy with wavy hair, a smile that makes me tingle, and who leaves my sheets smelling of Irish Spring. Even more so after I discover he’s the man on the other side of my family’s corporate battle. He’s my rival.
My focus is on the distillery that’s been in my family for four generations and our newest product. That’s where it needs to stay.
Problem is, the longer he’s around, the longer I want him to stay…to explore this chemistry between us. To make this fling last forever.
Brandt owns a competing brand and might be after something other than a picket-fence forever. I need to keep my guard up.
Finding that balance between rivals and lovers won’t be easy.
USA Today Best-Selling Claire Hastings is a walking, talking awkward moment. She loves Diet Coke, gummi bears, the beach, and books (obvs). When not reading she can usually be found hanging with friends at a soccer match or grabbing food (although she probably still has a book in her purse). She and her husband live in Atlanta.
Promotion support provided by Foreword PR & Marketing for Romance Authors, specializing in reader-focused book launches and long-term author visibility.
Tennessee Trouble is a really good start to Claire’s newest series.
This is a rivals-to-lovers romance that brings all the chemistry to the forefront and makes that rival tension even more delicious to watch.
The blurb is really all you need to know going into this one. Brandt and Lindee are after the same thing in business. But neither can deny the chemistry they feel after that one night – what happens if they choose to go for more?!?!
Claire writes this high chemistry story very well. I love that readers can see how both characters react to one another and their inner musings while they are working out where to go after that wild night and then seeing each other unexpectedly the next day.
The story flows really well and I enjoyed this one alot.

Falling for the one woman who has the power to end my football career was never part of the plan . . .
This was supposed to be Cole Valor’s record-breaking season.
Instead, the star quarterback can’t seem to find his game. Missed throws. Bad reads. And someone is making a fortune betting against him.

Working side by side as the investigation tightens its grip, the line between professional and personal begins to blur—and every stolen kiss pushes them further over a line neither of them can afford to cross.
Because every instinct tells Dublin to keep her distance. But the more she falls for him, the harder it becomes to know which to believe—the facts . . . or her heart.

Hard Pass is a sports romance that has a nice little trope added in with the long ago one-night stand.
Cole is the quarterback of the team of that Dublin is now in charged of investigating for integrity. But these two ran into another one night years ago. Honestly – that one night didn’t quite make me believe these ever really forgot the other – but more like, oh dang, it’s you in this odd situation.
I did like how this story played out and enjoyed the uniqueness of the sports romance with the investigation. I enjoyed the mystery of the unknown bets and that probably kept me more drawn in than the romance. But the reveal came, and I honestly saw it coming, so for me, this was a letdown because it was a big build up.
Cole and Dublin are both very strong characters, but it was great to see Cole grow and deal with some things from his past.
Overall, a good sports romance with some suspense added in to keep things interesting.
She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.
Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.
I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.
My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.
Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.
Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.
But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.
I came to Tuscany to escape.
But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.
