Releasing: January 31, 2023
Cover Designer: Hang Le
Photographer: Wander Aguiar
I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. It’s because I’m good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off. I’m not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walk—or rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran into him. Of course, at the time, I didn’t realize it was the Isaiah “Ike” Harrison, Seattle’s hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe. But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places. And he’s doing everything in his power to convince me that he’s not just a player—in any form of the word. It’s so much more than that. But I’ve been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again. Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly lowering—especially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career. Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing I’ve ever done?

Big Duke Energy, an all-new, must-read laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is now available!
When bestselling romance author Ellie Aarons finds herself with chronic writer’s block, she’s pretty sure all she needs is a change of scenery. A beautiful lakeside cottage with her cat seems like a good idea.
She’s wrong. She needs more than a change of scenery—she needs a muse.
Which is why it’s so irritating that she’s drawn to the enigmatic but grumpy Duke of Windermere who owns the estate she’s staying on.
They don’t get along—not in the slightest. They could not be more different, which is why it’s so irritating that Max seems to be the muse she’s been looking for. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t help but picture him as the hero in her next book.
Oh, well. There’s really not a lot she can do about it. The muse wants what the muse wants.
Except Sir Winston Purrchill keeps exploring the goat barn, and Max’s delivery of him for the fiftieth time means he sees her manuscript open on her laptop.
He knows instantly that she’s writing about him. The story she’s written reflects their entire relationship until now, but that spicy scene?
That hasn’t happened. Yet.
Max is ready to compromise—he’ll give her the inspiration she needs for her novel, but she has to stop asking why he’s so against the relationship his grandmother desperately wants him to have.
With her deadline looming, Ellie has no other option but to agree.
She just hopes that she won’t do what her heroine is doing.
And fall in love with the duke.

I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean. He ran the show back then, a partier and a player. Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now. He comes into the bar, and I know his routine. I know which stool he’ll pick. I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen. And I watch as he gets hit on. Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t. But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back. Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, “Ava, why are you single?” I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth. What I didn’t know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.
Something else I didn’t know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together… or smash it into pieces?

I devoured this in less than a few hours and wish I would’ve savored this longer!!
If you’ve read none of the books in the Fallen Crest series or Roussou World….you can still read this one!! And join me in the ranks of “I suck for not having read them, but desperately need to now!” because it’s going to happen.
I absolutely loved Zeke & his “this is me, take it over leave it” personality. I love that he doesn’t apologize for who he was (he does apologize for his actions & that’s different) and he doesn’t care if you like who he has become.
Ava, oh sweet Ava. She may be shy & stay hidden but girl is not one to be walked on. She may hide from uncertainty but she also holds her ground.
I want to say so much more but won’t. Just read it – you won’t regret it.
Meet Tijan

Tijan began writing after college and once she started, she was hooked. She’s written multi-bestsellers including the Fallen Crest series, Ryan’s Bed, Enemies and others. She is currently writing many new books and series with an English Cocker she adores.
Miller just may become my favorite hockey player in this series!
Scoring Chance is the newest release in the standalone series, Carolina Comets from Teagan Hunter.
If you’ve read previous books in this series (which you don’t have to) then you’ll know that Miller is known to be a flirt and quite the playboy.
However, we get a deeper understanding of Miller in this book & it absolutely made me love him more.
Scout is the owner of the donut truck that a good chunk of the team visits on the regular. However, she’s been giving Miller some heated stares ever since he didn’t recognize her when they were a mutual friend’s house.
Scoring Chance is fully character driven with very minimal plot and surprisingly, that didn’t bother me one bit. I loved getting to know both Miller & Scout on a deeper level and seeing what made them tick. What I enjoyed even more was watching the growth.
Teagan definitely allowed these two to tell their story and it played out beautifully. Another great story to add to this series.
TEAGAN HUNTER is a Missouri-raised gal but currently lives in South Carolina with her Marine veteran husband, where she spends her days begging him for a cat. She survives off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When she’s not writing, you can find her binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. She enjoys cold weather, buys more paperbacks than she’ll ever read, and never says no to brownies.
Holden Moore can have any girl he wants… except the coach’s daughter.
Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants. Except me: the coach’s daughter.
With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.
He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.
But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.
I remind him I’m off limits. He can’t have me, and I don’t want him—or anyone else, for that matter.
I’m here for one reason: to show my father I’m more than his greatest disappointment.
But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.
We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close. I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.
Otherwise, he’ll be off the team. And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

Quarterback Sneak is Kandi’s newest release in her sports romance series, Red Zone Rivals and she keeps delivering touchdown after touchdown with each book.
These books can be read as full standalones as each book features a different couple. Quarterback Sneak is Holden and Julep’s story and it’s quite the angsty one.
Holden is the captain and QB1 for his football team. It’s his last season in college and they have a new head coach. The day they meet their new coaching staff, they are also introduced to the coach’s daughter who is joining their athletic training team. But one thing coach makes clear to everyone, his daughter is off limits to all or they will suffer the consequences.
Julep traveled with her dad to a new state and college for various reasons, but her number one reason being she wants to prove to her father that she’s ready to do things on her own. Julep is very closed off to everyone but her father. The last few years have been rough for her and he’s been there every step of the way.
Julep may have moved with her dad, but her biggest step is living in her own place with a roommate, which also just happens to be across the street from The Pit – the place in which a few football players reside and where all their parties are at.
Holden and Julep are both focused are their goals and doing their best to avoid any distractions that could deter them. But neither anticipated each other and Coach’s rule just adds another layer to that attraction.
Kandi wrote this story beautifully. I was invested from start to finish and loved every bit in between. These two definitely toe the line and the angst level is really up there. I loved every bit of their story – the characters, the plot and the writing. All of it just made for an authentic read and a story to remember.
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

FORBIDDEN FRENCH by R.S. Grey is coming November 10th and we’re so excited to be sharing the gorgeous cover reveal!
Title: Forbidden French
Author: R.S. Grey
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 10th
About Forbidden French:
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was the golden boy of St. John’s Boarding School. The crown prince of his father’s vast business empire, unapologetically attractive…oh, and fluent in French.
At school, I kept a picture of him hidden beneath my pillow, a tiny token of my adolescent infatuation, but I might as well have been worshiping a distant demigod. He was hardly aware of my existence. I was far too young, and he was far too consequential—until one day we found ourselves alone together in the dark library and struck up a friendship…of sorts.
But in the years since leaving St. John’s, I’ve no longer bothered yearning for Emmett. What a useless dream. I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with his jet-setting life. Which Parisian hotel is he calling home now? Is there some new lithe model draping herself across his lap today?
My negligence comes back to bite me. I’m ill-prepared the day he strides into my art gallery. There’s only a mere trace of the boy I once knew. Self-assured, handsome, intoxicating—Emmett is more man than I can handle.
There’s no room for him in my gilded cage. My life is planned to a T. From where I go to how I dress, it all depends on the calculated whims of my grandmother. Soon, I’ll even dutifully walk down the aisle toward a man of her choosing.
Emmett can’t stand my obedience. Now that we’ve rekindled our friendship, he’s intent on unearthing my heart’s true motives.
And therein lies the problem: I was doing just fine without him, but now that he’s rattling the bars of my cage, I’m forced to acknowledge the truth.
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was all I wanted. The midnight wanderings, the whispered nothings, the unbearable longing—they etched indelible marks on my soul. Even now, after all these years, my heart is only fluent in one language.
Forbidden French.

Synopsis
We met on a Tuesday.
Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday.
And everything fell apart on a Tuesday…
Charlotte Taylor has three automatic strikes in my book: 1) She hates me. She also claims that I’m a “domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego.” (I do have something huge. It’s not my ego, though.) 2) She takes our mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously. 3) She’s sexy as hell…And a virgin.
At least, those were her strikes before our study sessions started lasting longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman I ever fell hard for.
Our future together after graduation was supposed to be set:
Professional football for me. Law school for her.
But she left me at the end of the semester with no explanation, and then she completely disappeared from my life.
Until tonight.
We met on a Tuesday.
Became everything, then nothing, on a Tuesday.
And now it’s seven years later, on a Tuesday…
**This is a second chance romance, inspired by Adele’s “When We Were Young”**

Synopsis
Please leave your message at the sound of the beep…
Penelope, I know that it’s three o’clock in the morning, but I need to get this off my chest.
I can’t give you any more advice on landing this other guy, can’t tell you another “sexy” thing that you should do, or suggest a new set of filthy words that you should text him late at night.
As your best friend, I’ve reached my limit, and I can honestly say that he doesn’t deserve you.
I’m not saying all of this because I’m fucking jealous, or because he had the audacity to say that he makes more money than me. (I still can’t find his name on the Forbes 500 list, and I know damn well that he’s renting that Ferrari, but that’s a story for a different day.)
He’s not who you think he is, and the better man has always been right in front of you…
You have every reason to never give me a chance since you know me better than anyone, and you agree with all the tabloids calling me The Cocky King of New York, and the Untamed Playboy of Manhattan. But I honestly believe that you’re better off with someone else, and I need you to see.

Crew Madigan is a snowboarding legend. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous and every woman’s dream. Well, except mine. I’ll take a nerdy guy with a clumsy streak who wouldn’t know what to do with a pair of skis to save his life. Superstar athletes? No, thanks. World champions? Hard pass. Crew? Definitely not. It’s been over a decade since Crew set foot on Madigan Mountain. Instead of sitting with his family during his brother’s wedding, he takes the chair beside mine. ESPN really doesn’t do that chiseled jaw justice. The cameras miss the flecks of gold in his eyes. When he invites me to his hotel room after the wedding, I break all of my own rules for just one night. But here’s the problem with just one night. Crew is impossible to forget. And he’s not the only one who loves a thrill. The crash, the broken bones, are inevitable. Because together, we’re a little too wild.

A little Too Wild is the third book in the Madigan Mountain series and each book is written by a different author. While the books do surround a particular family, you can read them in any order and not miss anything.
ALTW features Crew Madigan. He’s a snowboard legend and hasn’t returned home since he left over a decade ago. He’s now returned for his brother’s wedding but doesn’t intend to stay longer than needed. Too many memories and no reason to truly stay.
Raven is Crew’s best friend’s sister. They’ve never seen the other as anything more than friends. But on the night of his brother’s wedding, they decide one night won’t kill them and give into this new attraction they seem to have discovered.
Devney does a superb job of giving this story some great depth and keeping the characters authentic and real. I love that she blends the snowboarding aspect beautifully and it all just blends wonderfully. Devney delivers the right amount of angst, drama and spice to keep readers turning the pages.
Another great story that readers will love!
