A fake relationship between a fiery teacher and a notorious football star heats up into something dangerously real – but is this game worth the risk?
Brielle
Starting my teaching career as the butt of a prank gone wrong is not how I imagined things going. The hits keep coming when it’s none other than the notorious Ares Bellingham’s nephew who pulls the prank.
Ares, Fall Lake University’s most controversial rising football star, is the last person I expect – or want – to see standing in my classroom, but here he is, infuriatingly smug as he tries to fix things.
Just when I think things can’t get worse, my past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt the life I’ve worked so hard to rebuild.
But Ares has a plan, one that might be worth the Hail Mary he’s throwing my way, and suddenly my life becomes even more complicated.
Ares
One ridiculous mistake almost cost me everything – my shot at the NFL, my reputation, and my family. Now, I’m just inches away from getting benched for good.
My coach is breathing down my neck, the scouts are watching my every move, and I can’t afford another fumble.
But when my nephew’s prank lands me in Brielle Sinclair’s crosshairs, the fiery teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, I’m suddenly facing another fourth-and-long.
She needs help running interference on her past, and I need…well, I need her.
The Play
It’s simple, really.
I’ll be her pretend boyfriend to keep her tormentors at bay, and she’ll help me show the world I’m not the PR nightmare they think I am.
But as we spend more time together, faking it becomes harder, especially with sparks flying whenever I’m near her.
I’m ready to fight for her, but will she let me prove that what we have is more than just a game?
Pump Fake is a fake relationship, one-night stand turned friends with benefits, college sports romance, filled with all the heat and angst you crave – without any cliffhangers.

Santa Makes Three by V.J. Lee
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – MMF Romance
Page Count – 396
Cover Designer – Shana Colbert
A biker president, who plays Santa for sick children, an ex-fireman turned made man, and an enforcer soon to be a princess from one of the five families walk into a motorcycle club.
It’s not the start of a funny joke; no, it’s all real life.
Slaytor Rhodes, the president of Sons of Thunder MC, is a father and an ex-husband. He brings toys to sick children in his very own Santa suit and likes to think of himself as a lover. Because of who his father was, he hasn’t been able to come out and love who he wants, but now he’s getting rid of the trash sullying up his club – like all the used-up Christmas paper on Christmas day, and he doesn’t care who he upsets to do it.
The price to be with Cameron Von is worth it.
Contessa Dean (Nitti), or Tessa to her friends, and the boogie man to everyone else, has one goal in mind: to avenge her mother’s death. If that means she gets caught up in the crossfire, then so be it. Even being a princess of one of the five families won’t save her, and she’s made peace with that. Until her father tells her she must marry Cameron Von to bring the families together – the one man who can make her lose sight of her only goal in life – vengeance. Will a Christmas miracle happen, and she’ll get everything she wished for? Her revenge, and Cam with a side of Slaytor Rhodes.
Cam, along with Slaytor, made her hope for more. Hope was deadly in her line of work.
Cameron Von loved being a firefighter, but those days crashed and burned when he stuck his neck out for a friend and was brought into the family fold permanently. If he had to be a part of the family, he’d try to clean things up and make them legit, once and for all. When his uncle tells him he must marry Contessa Nitti to bring the families together, he jumps at the chance, because he’s always secretly loved Contessa, but she’s not so happy to be his bride. Everywhere she goes, Contessa brings death with her. She’s keeping something big from him, causing her to be cold and distant. Will the Christmas spirit thaw out her heart?
If everything goes his way, he won’t have to spend another Christmas alone; he’ll spend Christmas with Contessa and Santa Daddy Slaytor.
Slaytor is theirs, and Santa makes three. This life is no joke.
***This is a darkish MFM, MMF, that takes place during Christmas, book.***

An English lady proposes marriage to a brooding Scotsman – but she’s about to learn there’s nothing convenient about courting this fiery Highlander.
An English lady with everything to lose…
Beth Croft is all poise and propriety – or so she tells herself. To save her father from financial ruin, she proposes a marriage of convenience to Boyd Sandeman, the ruggedly handsome, infuriating Scotsman and wine tycoon. She expects some challenges, but she didn’t expect Boyd himself- a man with a dry wit, a commanding presence, and a knack for turning her world upside down.
A Scotsman with a taste for revenge…
For Boyd, Beth’s offer is a chance to settle an old score with her father, who once humiliated him. He agrees, but only if Beth can prove she’s up to the task. At a festive Christmas house party, Boyd devises three challenges to test her mettle, from blind wine tastings to keeping up with his demanding (and often maddening) expectations. Yet as they spar and spark, Boyd’s own defenses begin to falter in surprising ways.
Three trials, one Christmas, and undeniable chemistry…
Beth didn’t expect proving herself would mean more late nights than she’d bargained for – or that her heart would be on the line. Can she survive Boyd’s trials, break through his defenses, and make it to Christmas morning with her pride – and her heart – intact?
A standalone historical romance with spice, heart, and favorite characters from The Winemakers series, Three Days to Be Ruined is the perfect holiday escape! If you’re drawn to heart-stopping romance, rugged heroes, and daring heroines, this is your next unputdownable read.

Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

Recluse Sophie Vanguard’s winter cabin retreat turns ominous when blue flowers mysteriously appear. They’re everywhere. On her front porch, in kitchen cabinets, and even on her pillow. It isn’t long before chilling whispers echo in the halls, and her journal repeats seven unsettling entries.
Enter the bloodied and beautifully eccentric Ly Thi Ren. Though Ren seems familiar, Sophie refuses to believe the girl’s insistence that they are trapped inside a book.
In a land of fiction, truth and lies blur together, clear decisions are marred by doubt, and shared family trauma lurks just below the surface.
Can Ren and Sophie make it out alive? Or will they end up nothing more than words inked in blood and memory?
With elements of gothic horror, splatterpunk, romance, and fantasy, Inked in Blood and Memory is a self-aware LGBTQ+ horror that wraps its clutches around the reader and doesn’t let go.

Nathan Roth is a sometimes-bearded connoisseur of immaculate bants that lives on the internet. Although he greatly enjoys trashposting in online video games, it’s all just a cover for his legitimate love of writing fantasy. His first book started as a joke, like most things he does, but after the punchline faded, his commitment to storytelling stuck.

Roth fluctuates between ordering large quantities of hot dogs, avocados and bananas and forgetting to eat altogether. In his free time he can been found taking care of his plot-twistingly cute shaking-leaf of a dog, Rosa-Barksia, and seeking human touch via flesh-chess, aka Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

For fans of Mary Alice Monroe’s The Beach House comes a heartwarming story from women’s fiction author Diane Owens Prettyman about second chances as two people find a pathway out of their grief – directly in the aftermath of a hurricane.
The Texas Gulf: beautiful yet unpredictable.
A beach town destroyed. Her mother’s candy store swept away. This is what Teddy Wainsworth faces when she returns to Bird Isle. Meanwhile, Jack Shaughness, owner of a popular barbecue restaurant chain and widower still grieving the death of his wife, receives permission to cross over to the island with a smoker full of brisket to feed hurricane survivors. Soon after arriving, he meets Teddy and immediately finds himself drawn to her – which makes him feel he is betraying his wife. When the two find a lost dog, Jack convinces Teddy to take it home while they attempt to find the owner, creating a bond that brings them closer.
In the wake of the hurricane, Bird Isle residents fear the Aransas Wildlife Refuge will not be ready for the whooping cranes’ annual migration south. Seeing that Jack has important connections and a love for the island, they enlist him to help restore the habitat of the endangered cranes before they fly to Padre Island for the winter. With their rescued dog always nearby, Teddy and Jack work side by side to rebuild Bird Isle for the return of the whooping cranes. But Jack is harboring a secret that may ruin everything he and Teddy are creating – and he won’t be able to keep that secret forever.

<span;>‘Fooling other people is duplicity; fooling yourself is stupidity.’

<span;>In 1997, sixteen-year-old Tana Davis imagined a bright future for herself; she would finish school, become a lawyer, and generally swish her way through life being brilliant. But a chance encounter with a stranger on a Cornish beach pushed Tana’s life onto a different path.

<span;>Fast forward to 2010, and Tana awakes in a French hospital, with limited memories about what happened to put her there. Images flicker through her head: a ten-car pile-up, a terrorist attack, a brutal mugging. A train wreck or a plane crash. Anything could have happened. But what did? And where are her children?

<span;>Forced to examine her life to this point, Tana must admit some brutal truths about herself, her family and her relationships.

<span;>Based loosely on the twelve-step recovery programme, Tana’s story confronts some of the most fundamental issues that we all face – how we create meaning in our life, how perceptions influence the way we conduct ourselves, and how relationships can be tested.

A calendar in need of a December doctor.
Leeona isn’t taking no for an answer. Her charity calendar needs one more hot doctor to agree to model, and quickly. Stephen Clause is smart and sexy – basically everything she’s looking for. She’ll do anything to convince him to sign on to the project.
Stephen has no interest in being Dr. December. There are already enough issues in his life stemming from the last name Clause without adding something else to the pile. The problem is, the feisty woman asking for a favour doesn’t know when to give up.
The comment was meant as a joke and perhaps to embarrass her just enough to give up the ghost. He never expected her to agree to fulfill his entire naughty wish list in exchange for volunteering to pose as her sexy Santa.

But that’s not the case… ever especially in this new assignment Cupid has handed over to Rafaela. Determined to get Rei out of her shell and back out into the pool of finding love, Rafaela stumbles upon more challenges that she thought possible with this job.
A little shop of horrors decorated with dressed squirrels and a woman with no sense of fashion, Rafaela feels she has her work cut out for her.
What she originally thought was a case of unrequited love, she quickly learns is a second chance romance.
Cupid and his six girls have been tasked as helping the human population of the world find their one and only. And in some cases, it takes a couple of tries to get there.
Can Rafaela quit comparing herself to what she perceives as perfection and help reunite two souls?

When Cole Johnson was eight-years-old, he married Rose Prescott. Never mind that the aisle was made of holiday table runners, she wore an old lace curtain, and her brother performed the ceremony in a musty basement.
Twenty-four years later, Cole is more in love than ever and ready to wed Rose for real. This time, it’ll be at an exquisite wedding venue and the minister will know how to read. But that’s not all. He wants to give Rose the life he’s always dreamed of: a big house with a picket fence, twin boys, a family dog, and a rock solid 401K.
But Rose doesn’t seem to want any of it – not even a little. Because it’s not at all the future she covets. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The thought of a hefty mortgage payment and a minivan full of children isn’t just suffocating… it’s insufferable.
As the wedding approaches, Cole grows uneasy and can’t help but feel like Rose is hiding something. Despite his suspicions, the day of their wedding arrives without a hitch. The question is, how will the day end?

If you’re playing hide and seek, Lynn’s default hiding place is always between the pages of a book.  Whether it’s a recent bestseller or the latest release from one of her favorite authors, or creating new stories of her own, Lynn’s world must include books to fall into, to be dragged under, to immerse herself in fantasies, romances, thrillers, ideas, or new ways of looking at and experiencing life.  Her writing reflects her wide-ranging interests, but you’ll find most of her books in the romantic suspense, mysteries and thrillers and historical romance genres, usually with a magical or supernatural thread woven through the tapestry of the stories. When she’s not reading or writing, Lynn spends time with family and friends, traveling around the country and the world, and whenever she can, at the beach, under an umbrella…reading a book, of course.

Loretta’s Stick That Walks (Loretta’s Insects Series) by Lois Wickstrom

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by


Ants are carrying bleeding heart fern seeds to their anthill. They stop to nibble something off the end of a seed. When Loretta bends down to investigate, a seed-like pod falls from the branch above her head. The ants take that to their nest, too.

What could it be? The branch over her head has no flowers. Seeds come from flowers. Where could this seed have come from?

As she watches, a branch starts walking. It must be an insect. But, insects don’t make seeds. Insects drop eggs. The ants take the eggs to their nest, just like the seeds. They even nibble on them, just like seeds.

What are the ants doing with the seeds and eggs in their anthill?

Sometimes, the most dangerous secrets are the ones closest to home.

At 45, Lena Brooks thought she’d lost everything. Divorced and jobless, she returns to Crow Point, Maine, to settle her beloved Aunt Flora’s estate. But instead of closure, she finds a mystery.

Enter Garrett Murphy: a guarded local handyman with a past as mysterious as the secrets Lena’s uncovering.

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She’s always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn’t supposed to venture into. She’s still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.

Freaky Finales by C.A. King
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Supernatural Occult
Page Count – 188
Cover Designer – Mikki Noble
Freaky Finales is a series of fictional shorts. They are in no way a representation of real beliefs or existing religions.
Scare Queen: A woman’s plight for youth
The search for everlasting youth has been written about for centuries. In this one, the answer doesn’t come in the form of the fountain of youth though. The fictional supreme being in this story is unique and represents both the good and evil sides of humanity, offering up temptations and tests, as well as just rewards on either side of the spectrum.
Essentially Broken: A nurse’s curse
This short is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t, fictional story about a nurse gifted with healing hands and how she uses her ability. This one really hits home in the feels department.
No Pest Pesticide: Chemical damage to nature
If you’ve read my work, especially the apocalyptic stories, you know I like to tie them to environmental issues, not necessarily real ones. This short is a look at a fake pesticide destroying the planet.
Mother Knows Best: A Halloween outing gone wrong.
The tension between a mother and her teenage daughter hits extremes in this rebellious tale with a twisted outcome.
Respect: An angel’s fall from Heaven
First I’d like to say this is a fictional world, with a fictional religion and a fictional God, who perhaps isn’t running the whole show.
Xarlapin an emotionless and genderless angel becomes attached to the mortal world and, in particular, a heterosexual woman. Because of those growing feelings, the angel chooses to become a mortal man and remain at her side as a partner.
Yup! It’s a love story.
Bonus:
When Leaves Fall: An emotional journey of cruelty.
Sob!
Sob!
Sob!
Grab the tissues.
This one is my absolute favourite of all the stories I’ve written. I’m not putting any spoilers in here, but if you want an ugly cry, this is the read for you.

Match Made in Montana Complete Series
FINDERS KEEPERS, COWBOY: Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan.
After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism and devoted everything to the business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about her.
Then, a sudden discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to choose the potential of ever-after or to finally move on forever.
Tropes: old enemies, rivals, love/hate, last to know, forced proximity, matchmaker, cowboy, small town
CATCH A COWBOY: Kincaid Ranch lead cowboy, Ted Stirling, isn’t looking for romance or entanglements. He settled in Herd, Montana over a decade ago following a devastating loss. He seeks comfort and friendship. Nothing more. If he was going to try for love again, he would pick someone sweet and sunny, exactly like kindergarten teacher, Stephanie Patricks. But she’s too young for him.
Stephanie has nursed a crush on quiet, handsome Ted for years. Every time she’s around him, however, she gets tongue-tied. She only seems to be able to find her words when she’s working with her students. Then, Ted’s sister unexpectedly arrives in town with his five-year-old niece in tow, and he needs Stephanie’s help, thrusting them together.
But a sudden emergency puts into sharp focus exactly how fragile life is, and he needs to decide whether or not to open his heart again.
Tropes: age gap, sworn off relationships, matchmaker, child’s teacher/nanny, cowboy, small town
UNMASKING A COWGIRL: Middle school teacher and amateur historian, Joe Staunch, likes everyone in smalltown, Herd, Montana. Except for Abby Whit. He can’t quite pinpoint what bugs him so much besides the unnerving feeling she is lying to him and everyone in the close-knit community.
Food truck owner, Abby Whit has a secret. The descendant of the infamous Whittier family, she never meant to settle in town under an alias, but she can’t imagine living anywhere else. Time is running out to claim her property, and she is unsure how to do so without upsetting everyone.
Is it too late to make amends and start over? And can love survive a lie?
Tropes: matchmaker, love/hate, enemies, secrets, mistaken identity, small town, heir

A Garland at Bitterbark Creek by Tammy Mannersly

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds secrets to her past… This heart-wrenching 300+ page rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek – her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son – the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another.

Zeno
My sister was the brightest star in my life. Until she vanished without a trace.
A lead brings me to Nazario Vaccaro’s youngest daughter.
Posing as her bodyguard, I’m sworn to protect her.
Though all I want to do is break her.
To find out what happened to my sister, I must live a lie.
But being around Laurenza makes it harder to determine what’s true and what isn’t.
Laurenza
I’m invisible to those around me, nothing more than a liability to my family.
It’s why I’m not surprised they’d force a bodyguard on me.
I’m predisposed to hate Zeno, but the sparks between us can’t be ignored.
Despite doing my best to resist him, I fall victim to his seduction anyway.
Only, it’s not lust driving him but a deadly motive.
Because he’s labeled me a suspect. And in his mind, I’m guilty.
Motivation turns into a lustful obsession that threatens to destroy us both. When all truths are revealed, will they wash us of our supposed sins or are the planted seeds of doubt too strong to overcome?
