From a secret duo of USA Today Bestselling Authors, comes an ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS SEXY ROMCOM STANDALONE in the Modern Love Series.

Who knew sleeping with the enemy could be this fun?

Was the one night stand a good idea?

Well, no. Probably not in retrospect.

In my defense I had just moved back into my grandparent’s house, I’d lost my dream job, and a guy on Tinder had stood me up. It was like life had suddenly stamped ‘LOSER’ on my forehead.

So when the guy behind the bar started giving me THE look…you know, the one that promised I’d be screaming his name into the wee hours of the morning? When that guy also has the perfect amount of scruff on his chiseled chin, biceps bulging out of his t-shirt, and a cocky grin you knew he’d earned in the sack…when he gives you that look, you don’t bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse and ride it!

Pun fully and completely intended. And accurate by the way.

I fully admit to feeling sorry for myself and acting impulsively, but by the time I’d figured out WHO the bartender was, I was already falling for him.

** Note: This book was previous titled "The Bartender". Same great story with a fresh new look.**

Beau Tinsel—dark-haired and delicious. As the lead singer for BT and Bads, he’s used to carrying the weight of the world on his broad, sexy, shoulders. This rock star has everything a man could want. Everything but her. When he left Bell Mountain, he took Mandy Sawyer’s heart and never returned—until now.

Mandy Sawyer—blonde and broken. She moved to Paris to mend her broken heart and returned a single mother. As a French-trained pastry chef, she lives in New York City with her six-year-old son Tommy. He’s the only man in her life—or so she thinks.

Summoned to Bell Mountain by meddling mothers, Beau and Mandy must revisit their painful past to have a shot at their true destiny. Is it too late, or, can the spirit of Christmas heal all wounds?

 

A RED HOT second chance romance. A weekend in a snowed in cabin. And all kinds of ways to get warm....

I figured moonlighting as a Santa stripper was the most exciting thing on my docket this holiday season.

But that was before Macy Clayton careened back into my life, before we were snowed in at a ranger station in the middle of nowhere.And yes, what the survivalists say is true--you really do stay warmer, and happier, when you're naked.

Soon, Macy and I are back on track to forever. But crossed signals and old wounds prove that second chances can be tricky, even during the most wonderful time of the year.

I'll pull out all the stops to prove to Macy she's the only one I want to jingle my bells, but will it be enough to pull off a Christmas miracle?

Wrong. This was so wrong.

So, Dr. Nate Williamson kissed me like I’d never been kissed before.

God. That laugh. That smile. That dimple.

Hell…I should have asked him to stop.

I knew I wasn’t the woman meant for him,

My best friend was.

But then, he offered himself to me on a silver platter,

I touched, I tasted, I felt, I couldn’t deny myself anymore…

And all the reasons that I should have said no for,

Well…let’s just say ‘wrong started feeling so right.’

And now, my best friend knows my secret,

The one that’s going to be out in nine months.

She just doesn’t know who the father is!

What the hell did I land myself into?

I have a certain set of rules I try to live by. Rules that have always served me well. Until now…

Rule one: Don’t have sex with someone you work with.
Rule two: Don’t have sex with your friend’s ex-boyfriend.
Rule three: Don’t have sex with your best friend who also happens to be the same ex-boyfriend of your friend.
Rule four: Don’t ever, under any circumstances, fall in love with your best friend.

I guess it’s safe to say, I officially broke all four of my rules.

Doctor Andrew Albright. Sexy, arrogant, insanely gorgeous, and eternally off-limits.
Not only is he still in love with my friend, his ex, but he’s my rock. My perfect best friend.
The one person I cannot lose under any circumstances.
Especially when my life has a habit of falling apart on a regular basis.

But one mercy kiss later, to save me from an awkward situation, and suddenly everything changes. He flirts relentlessly. Corners me in dark hallways. Throws me panty-melting stares that render me helpless.
I crossed the uncrossable line. Broke every damn rule.
Now our perfect friendship is falling apart.

And he’s doing everything he can to keep it that way…

THE EDGE OF REASON is a funny, sexy, and emotional best friends to lovers, STANDALONE romance

“Stitched together with love, this is a story just waiting for your favorite reading chair. With her signature style and skill, Susan Wiggs delivers an intricate patchwork of old wounds and new beginnings, romance and the healing power of friendship, wrapped in a lovely little community that’s hiding a few secrets of its own.”
   — Lisa Wingate, New York Times Bestselling author of Before We Were Yours

The #1 New York Times bestselling author brings us her most ambitious and provocative work yet—a searing and timely novel that explores the most volatile issue of our time—domestic violence.

At the break of dawn, Caroline Shelby rolls into Oysterville, Washington, a tiny hamlet at the edge of the raging Pacific.

She’s come home.

Home to a place she thought she’d left forever, home of her heart and memories, but not her future. Ten years ago, Caroline launched a career in the glamorous fashion world of Manhattan. But her success in New York imploded on a wave of scandal and tragedy, forcing her to flee to the only safe place she knows.

And in the backseat of Caroline’s car are two children who were orphaned in a single chilling moment—five-year-old Addie and six-year-old Flick. She’s now their legal guardian—a role she’s not sure she’s ready for.

But the Oysterville she left behind has changed. Her siblings have their own complicated lives and her aging parents are hoping to pass on their thriving seafood restaurant to the next generation. And there’s Will Jensen, a decorated Navy SEAL who’s also returned home after being wounded overseas. Will and Caroline were forever friends as children, with the promise of something more . . . until he fell in love with Sierra, Caroline’s best friend and the most beautiful girl in town. With her modeling jobs drying up, Sierra, too, is on the cusp of reinventing herself.

Caroline returns to her favorite place: the sewing shop owned by Mrs. Lindy Bloom, the woman who inspired her and taught her to sew. There she discovers that even in an idyllic beach town, there are women living with the deepest of secrets. Thus begins the Oysterville Sewing Circle—where women can join forces to support each other through the troubles they keep hidden.

Yet just as Caroline regains her creativity and fighting spirit, and the children begin to heal from their loss, an unexpected challenge tests her courage and her heart. This time, though, Caroline is not going to run away. She’s going to stand and fight for everything—and everyone—she loves.

I hooked up with a sexy masked stranger...
And he turned out to be my enemy!
The worst part?
I'm now carrying a BIG secret.
If only I could blame it on the alcohol.

But what happened at the ball can't stay at the ball.
Because we're living under the same roof.
He's staying at my B&B.
And the uptight jerk is set on driving me crazy.
I thought all the madness would come to an end.
Instead, I fell for the cocky Casanova.
And he's carrying a secret of his own.

Falling for your nemesis is one thing.
But when I find out his huge royal secret...
The world is about to turn upside down.

I wonder if now's a good time to tell him about our baby?

Love finds him, in the most devastating manner possible...

In the grief and heartbreak of being separated from his cherished family, young Prince Alejandro denies his feelings and his very being, bonding irrevocably to the only thing he has left: España. As he was born and bred to do, Alejandro gives his life to Spain.

Now grown, Prince Alejandro is charming, dazzlingly handsome, the most powerful man in his country--and unable to connect to either himself or anyone else.

It's the clash of the titan egos between a diva Parisian opera singer and the crown prince of Spain. His royal highness cannot tolerate Nicolette when she speaks, but he must confront the bizarre truth that when she sings, this bewitching prima donna is the miraculous key to his transformation.

An Edwardian Royal Romance.

Rating: Sensual and romantic. The focus is on the romance with adherence to the cultural mores of the time, consistent with historical fiction.

Not everyone deserves a second chance.

My brother’s best friend surely doesn’t after leaving home without a concern.

Even when my brother died, he couldn’t handle it.

Good for him. Life moves on and changes.

After years of trying to make it in New York, I find myself headed back home.

This time with a little girl and no hubs to help.

I’m a big girl though. I can make this work in my favor.

Until he shows up. And fate would have it that I’m forced to go out for coffee with him to make up for an accident I caused.

He’s beyond gorgeous, a billionaire, and stares at me like I’m the only woman in the room.

And he wants to help me dream again.

First about business, then about love.


I try to refuse, but he has this way about him.

He’s bullheaded and dominant, unwilling to relent.

Scarily enough, he’s exactly what I need.

I’m doing the one thing I hoped I wouldn’t—falling for him.

Again.

Captured by Comanche as a child, Molly Hart was assumed dead. Ten years later, Texas Ranger Matt Ryan finds a woman with the same blue eyes.

“A rousing, spicy story of long lost love in the gritty Old West. The Wren will make your pulse flutter and your heart sing.” —Ann Charles, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Award-winning Deadwood Mystery Series

Ten years have passed since Molly Hart’s ranch was attacked, her folks murdered and she was abducted. Now, at nineteen, she’s finally returning home to North Texas after spending the remainder of her childhood with a tribe of Kwahadi Comanche. What she finds is a deserted home coated with dust and the passage of time, the chilling discovery of her own gravesite, and the presence of a man she thought never to see again.

Matt Ryan is pushed by a restless wind to the broken-down remains of the Hart ranch. Recently recovered from an imprisonment that nearly ended his life, the drive for truth and fairness has all but abandoned him. For ten years he faithfully served the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers, seeking justice for the brutal murder of a little girl, only to find closure and healing beyond his grasp. Returning to the place where it all began, he’s stunned to encounter a woman with the same blue eyes as the child he can’t put out of his mind.

Three years.

Three years I’ve fantasized about my boss. Three years wondering what it would be like to have him touch me, to be trapped under that deliciously hard body while he makes every one of my fantasies come true.

I’m not his type. Hell, I’m not even sure the man knows my first name. But I’d make a deal with the devil himself for one night in his bed. I never suspected that beneath his cold exterior there was a fire that burned for me. Why would I? He’s never even touched me.

Until tonight. Tonight, he’s determined to make me his and – God help me – I’m going to let him.

Author’s note: This novel contains explicit and steamy sex scenes that may not be your cup of tea. It is intended for mature readers only.

Until her. A curvy, brilliant, out-of-the-box single mom who’s changing the world one Halloween at a time.

Her Halloweenfest event is stealing the world stage each October.

The only thing to wreck me more?

BETTER WHEN IT HURTS is a full-length romance that does stand alone. Fair warning: Blue is a cruel bastard and a dirty talker!

Secrets and small towns don't mix.

Leah Martin has a secret that she's not ready to admit to the world: she's pregnant. Leah has always wanted to be a mom, but the circumstances are all wrong. When a local contractor, Beau Hill, bumps into her at the doctor's office two towns over, Leah is certain it won't be long before all of Yearly knows her private business. So she corners the handsome handyman and demands he keep her pregnancy news quiet until she's ready to tell.

Beauregard Franklin Hill, or "Beau" to those who know him best, is a pragmatic man. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Yet, when he inadvertently stumbles into Leah Martin's private life, he knows he has to do something to help the new mom. The only problem? Beau doesn't know how to assemble a baby shower, and he's in way over his head.

They both just might fall head-over-heels into happily ever after.

Love in December has a touch of laughter, a few tears, and a lot of heart in a small-town, secret-child romance.

Each book in The Yearly, Texas Romance Series is a standalone romance. They can be read in any order.

My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together. Sounds reasonable, right?

And it would be.

If it weren’t my mother.

My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he’s openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by having sex in my childhood bed.

And by intrigued, I mean a series of really hot suggestions that make me whimper when I have to say no.

Wait — why am I saying no, again?

Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly-button lint and use… a certain kind of hair… to make thatched roofs on little decorative elf homes?

Those people are saner than my mother.

There is no force of nature stronger — or more emotionally volatile — than a fifty-something grandmother determined to create holiday memories.

Wait a minute. Maybe there is.

My husband.

A Halloween party. A chance encounter. A blooming relationship. An explosive demise.

Sounds like a regular college romance, right?

But for me, it was four years of my life I’ll never forget.

I went to that Halloween party a single, curious college girl and left as the apple of a man’s eye.

As Brett’s dedicated little sweet treat.

Four wonderful years… and one night is all that it took.

One night and my life was shattered.

I watched him walk away…

And today, I’m sitting in his billion dollar company interviewing for a job.

Memories resurface, secrets are revealed, and…

I am making the same mistake.

Falling for a cheating, heartbreaking man for a second time.

I shouldn’t be doing this…he’s ex for a reason.

Not only that, he’s my boss!

Mistakes have consequences,

And mine is evident from the two positive lines on the pregnancy test.

Cal Olin is a grudging member of the Immorti. A resurrected Aztec warrior, he knows he has much to atone for but doesn't believe waiting for an enemy who hasn't appeared in hundreds of years is the best way to do it. He'd prefer to spend his time in his CEO role with Civica, an organization dedicated to righting wrongs.

However, when Cal sees the unconscious body of a woman near a magical portal, he knows the long period of peace has come to an end. He's shocked to discover the woman is Dr. Iliana Rogers, Civica's second-in-command. The beautiful, argumentative thorn in his side has managed to open the gate and set off a chain reaction that could end the world. Is she an agent of evil or an unknowing pawn? He has to find out.

Nightmares have taken over Iliana's dreams and with Cal, she no longer feels alone. But when he breaks into her house and tells her, incredibly, that he's immortal, she knows she's been living an illusion. It's a shock to find out he was telling the truth and that her own mother was an agent of the malevolent Nilohum—and that she herself is fated to end the world.

As Iliana searches for the truth, Cal struggles with a terrible choice: does he help the woman he loves, or does he stop the end of the world and risk Iliana's love…and life?
