TEMPTED: BADASS BILLIONAIRES - BOOK ONE

by Nessa Connor

The city of Dallas boasts much of life’s finest, but if you asked any woman within a ten-mile radius what makes the city come alive, they’d say Dallas’ most eligible bachelor, Deke Ashton. Suave, debonair, successful, he’s a player in and out of the boardroom, but for all his many conquests – business and personal – he’s yet to meet a woman he couldn’t close the deal with. That is, until a seemingly innocuous kickboxing class goes awry, and he finds himself completely enamored with a headstrong beauty that has no interest in his usual antics.

Twenty-six-year-old grad student Jaylene Morris has only one thing on her mind: success, but when an overconfident,super-sexy business executive strolls into her life unexpectedly, her resolve to stay clear of all signs of trouble – no matter how handsome they are – grows increasingly shaky.

It’s going to take far more than candle light dinners, smooth talking, and bedroom eyes to make her swoon because turning a playboy into a husband isn’t part of her master plan.

Can the consummate ‘closer’ close the deal and convince Jaylene that he’s a changed man?

***Tempted is a standalone billionaire romance with a dirty-talking playboy, a HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger.***

Royal Design [Kindle in Motion]: A Royals of Monterra Novella

by Sariah Wilson

Bellamy Sullivan’s life is hardly regal. She’s a waitress from Ohio who’s been on her own since she was sixteen, working several jobs while her dreams of being a fashion designer stay just that. But everything changes when PR maven and soon-to-be-royal Lemon Beauchamp drops in to announce that Bellamy is a princess. Unfortunately, Bellamy’s newly assigned bodyguard is the last man she wants to see.

A year ago, the royal family of Monterra tasked Enzo Rannalli with confirming Bellamy’s heritage, which meant he had to get very close to her. Enzo got the confirmation he needed, but he didn’t expect their connection to be so meaningful. And he didn’t expect his sudden departure to break the young princess’s heart.

In exchange for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to kick-start her fashion career, Bellamy agrees to star on a royal reality show that will match her with the world’s most eligible bachelors. But after a series of disastrous dates make her even more grateful for Enzo’s company, she wonders if her fairy-tale ending is waiting to happen off camera.

To Fall in Love Again

by David Burnett

Drew certainly had not planned to fall in love that morning.
He had not planned to make a new friend. He had not even wanted to talk to anyone.
He had resisted all of Amy’s attempts to draw him out− at the hotel, at the airport, on the airplane− giving hurried responses and burying his face in a pile of papers. But when the flight attendant offered coffee, and a muscle in Amy’s back twitched as she reached for it, and the cup tipped, and the hot liquid puddled in Drew’s lap, then they began to talk!
Earlier in the year, each had lost a spouse of over thirty years. Drew’s wife had died of a brain tumor, Amy’s husband when his small airplane nose-dived to earth, the engine at full throttle − an accident, it was ruled, although she’d charged him with adultery earlier the same day.
They live in the same city. Both have grandchildren. They are about the same age. Consciously, or not, they both are looking to love again.
Drew is wealthy, and Amy is middle class. Amy is “new” in town – she and her husband moved to Charleston twenty-five years ago – while Drew’s family has lived there for three centuries. Drew lives below Broad, a code word for high society, old families, power, and money. Amy’s home is across the river.
Class warfare may be less violent than it was in the past, but when Drew invites Amy to the St Cecelia Ball, battle lines are drawn. In a city in which ancestry is important, the ball’s membership is passed from father to son, and only those from the oldest families attend.
Family, friends, and co-workers all weigh in on their relationship and choose sides. Allies are found in unexpected places. Opposition comes from among those who were thought to be friends. As the conflict mounts, Amy learns that her deceased husband has attempted to “rule from the grave” through provisions in his Will that make one final attempt to humiliate her in public.
Amy concludes that all men are copies of her husband. She begins to suspect that Drew is one of them, the rich snobs who despise her. Drew begins to feel that Amy neither trusts him nor cares for him. Unless Amy is able to see Drew, not as a copy of the husband who betrayed her and not as a clone of those who look down on her, but simply as a man who loves her, she will lose it all − Drew, her chance for happiness, and her opportunity to love again.

I'm going to take Amalia for her very first time.

I know it from the moment I first lay eyes on her seductive curves.
There's only one problem.
That moment happens to be when she is walking down the aisle to marry my hateful half brother Jackson.
I'm his illegitimate half-brother, the black sheep playboy of the family.
I'm used to doing what I want.
And now what I want to do is Amalia.
To have my way with her while she submits to my every command.
But her father has sold her off to Jackson as part of a business deal.
Fulfilling our desires could mean she's disowned and Jackson's wrath could destroy both of us.
He'd better be ready for the fight of his life because I'm going to take what I want, which is Amalia over my knee and then on her own knees for me.
And I know from the look in her sultry eyes that she wants to give me what I want, no matter the cost.

This book is a full-length standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.

The Tarkington Treasure (The Charlotte Ross Mysteries Book 4)

by Evelyn Cullet

"In the world of logic, it's always our assumptions that lead us astray."
A spooky old house, rumors of a hidden Civil War treasure, a neighbor’s murder, and an ex-fiancé falling unconscious at her feet—Charlotte Ross has her hands full when she’s invited to stay at her friend, Jane Marshall’s home while her apartment is being renovated.

Jane and her new fiancé have sold everything to move to the large estate she’d just inherited near the small town in Illinois, where she grew up. She’s always loved the house, but the cost of living in, and fixing up, a deteriorating old mansion is more than both their incomes combined. If she can’t come up with the money for the next property tax payment, she’ll be forced to give it up.

Charlotte is intent on winning back her ex, but her efforts are stymied when he’s suspected of murder.

The two couples soon discover the rambling old house holds more than one secret when they join forces to find the real killer—and the elusive, Tarkington treasure.
