PIN-UP PILOT
BY CLAIRE RAYE
Alexa Purdy has sworn off men, and he’s her worst nightmare.
Arrogant and flirtatious, and now International Airlines’ newest pilot,
Jake Campbell has a panty-dropping smile and a body to match. But he’s no match
for Alexa’s cold heart.
Plagued by a bad reputation and a bitter divorce, Alexa is determined to
make a name for herself outside of the bedroom. As International Airlines’ only
female pilot she’s had to work twice as hard and she won’t let someone like
Jake bring her down.
But she’s surprised to find he’s nothing like she expected him to be.
Even more surprising is her growing attraction to him and his obvious
attraction to her—an attraction that causes her to question whether swearing
off men is such a good idea after all.
But when Jake’s past resurfaces, she realizes getting close to him may be
her biggest mistake of all.

FILTHY FIREFIGHTER
BY EMMA LOUISE
He looks like he belongs on stage, stripping out of his
firefighter uniform, not running into a burning building to save me. But thank
God he did.
When the smoke clears and my eyes focus on my savior, one
look at his gorgeous face and tattoo-covered muscles, I know he’ll be too much
for me to handle. It’s a good thing I never have to see him again, right?
Except, losing my home to a fire means finding somewhere new
to live, and guess who just happens to be my new roommate? Hayden Flynn. The
filthy-talking firefighter who’s been front and center of all of my dreams
lately.
Our attraction is undeniable, but it’s the adventures he
takes me on that has me falling for him, each new experience chipping away at
the wall I’ve been hiding behind.
He wasn’t supposed to see past my scars.
He wasn’t supposed to break me apart piece by piece, then
put me back together again.
He was just supposed to be a firefighter. I didn’t expect
him to end up saving my life, in more ways than one.

Dexter
Truitt ruined my life.
His
impossibly improbable act set off a chain of events I couldn’t make up if I
tried, each one stealing a little more from me.
My
relationship. My business.
My
reputation.
But even
bad times have to come to an end. I thought that was the case when Valerie slid
onto the barstool next to mine and asked me to buy her a drink.
She was
gorgeous. Driven. Smart.
And
didn’t know who in the hell I was.
Didn’t
know why every other woman in town avoids me like the plague.
Valerie was
a ray of light when I needed it most, and I couldn’t get enough of her. Being
with her made me think I could have it all again.
Showed me I
could have more.
All I
had to do was reach out and take it.
But
all good things must come to an end too.
And our
ending was one I didn’t see coming.

LAYOVER LOVER
BY JEANNINE COLETTE
& LAUREN RUNOW
Flying the
friendly skies has been more than just a job to me. It’s my home.
Ten years
ago I ran away from everything I’ve known and vowed never to return. That is,
until my flight is cancelled due to weather, and I’m stuck in San
Francisco.
Fate is not
on my side when I end up in an Uber ride share with the one man I thought I’d
never see again.
Zack Hunt
was my high school sweetheart, and the boy I walked away from without a note
saying goodbye. Except, he’s no longer a boy. No, this man is gorgeous,
intense, and heated at the sight of me.
The anger
searing off him is nothing compared to the way my heart pounds from seeing him
again. Words are said. Feelings are crushed. But when he invites me in to his
bar to hash out our past, I find myself following him in, desperate for
more.
The line
between past and present is blurred when Zack challenges me to a dare—come
back home with him to see what I walked away from.
Call me a
glutton for punishment, but I do.
Then I
challenge him right back to live a day in my shoes.
We drive
home to rediscover the past
We fly abroad
to live in the present.
When we
stop moving, we realize we may never have a future.
Layover
Lover is a second chance romance, aligned by fate. Can two lost souls really
find love again on a layover? Or do they need to keep flying?

BRITISH BANGER
BY JENNIFER WOODHULL
British
accents should come with a warning label. When they’re attached to deep,
baritone voices that belong to sexy, cocky men, you should have to sign a
waiver.
Most people wouldn’t touch short-term rental properties, but since my business partner took off with my client list, I need every deal I can get. Enter, one insanely sexy and completely exasperating Camden Reid.
The smug executive found fault with every property I showed him. Too cramped. Too feminine. Too far from a decent pub.

His demands
were ridiculous, and I couldn’t wait to be rid of him and his British bangers.
Somewhere between the first property and the zillionth, though, my attraction to Camden grew impossible to ignore.

Little did I know how addicted I’d become, or just how unforgettable my time with Camden would be.
After all, I knew we had an expiration date.

BY KATHRYN M. HEARST
The nurses
call me Dr. Heartbreaker. They say I put the hot in hot-shot
cardiologist.
Not that it
matters. I never stick my tongue depressor in my co-workers.
What can I
say? I play by a set of personal rules.
Even if
those rules eliminate 99.9% of the woman I come in contact with from my
dating-pool.
Even if
those rules landed me on a blind date with Emily, my childhood sweetheart, a
woman I hadn’t seen since I broke her heart freshmen year of college.
Let’s just
say the evening was a disaster. She took one look at me, and it was…
Date over.
Do not pass go. Do not collect your two-hundred dollars.
The thing
is, I can’t stop thinking about her. She was my first kiss, and every other
first that two people could share.
She’s the
only woman I’ve ever loved.
How can I
make her understand what really happened between us when she wants nothing to
do with me?
How can I
let her walk away again, when it could mean another ten years wondering…what
if?
The
answer’s simple. I can’t.
Unfortunately,
the solution to my dilemma is a five-year-old Colombian girl with a deadly
heart condition. The same little girl Emily’s non-profit organization brought
to the United States to receive life-saving surgery.
When the
chief of staff informs me, I need to improve my public image because my bedside
manner sucks--not THAT bedside manner. I’m just fine between the sheets, thank
you very much—I agree to perform the girl’s operation…
Because
spending more time with Emily is worth the risk.
Even if it
means I have to break every rule in my playbook.
Even if it
means destroying myself in the process.
I’ll do
anything for a second chance with the woman who’s owned my heart since the
first-grade.

KATHRYN M. HEARST
BY KATHY COOPMANS
“I want a
divorce.”
No woman wants to say those words. No woman who is still in love with her husband anyway.
Our marriage has been tested, repeatedly.
It’s been dragged through tabloids and rumors and fans that just won’t let us be.
Through it all, we’ve remained unbreakable.
We didn’t have the perfect marriage because perfection doesn’t exist.
But we had love. We had trust. We had chemistry that to this day sets everything inside me on fire.
Then one life-threatening statement creates a chain of lies that leaves me no choice but to say those horrible words.
I never thought I’d say them.
I never thought my husband would ignore me when I did.
I never thought the man I love would sever the vows we took.
I never thought I’d pack my bags and move from our home in L.A. to our getaway cottage in Hermosa Beach.
Then again, I never thought he'd choose the fate of his life over his fate with me.

Wow Kathy!!! I’ve read every book she’s written and everyone is on my favorite read list but this has to be hands down her best book yet.
Once I started this I became addicted to Mason and Eden’s story.
For the past two years Mason’s just been going thru his daily routine by barely holding it together. Mason’s life has always consisted of the two loves of his life. Eden and boxing.
Two years ago Mason was told to put the gloves away. One more punch could give him permanent damage or kill him.
Since then he’s opened a gym. He trains an upcoming boxer and helps the underprivileged youth like him and Eden were.
Mason has everybody fooled into thinking he’s perfectly OK. When in reality he’s far from it. Mason just wants one more fight. He knows his body has one more fight. Mason wants to walk away on his terms. But, instead of talking things over with Eden he goes outside to somebody else and before he can say anything to his wife it leaked to the press. Mason knew Eden would be mad. But, didn’t realize his last fight would get completely personal.
Eden has been in love with Mason ever since they met in foster care. It’s always been the two of them. She’s always been in his corner both inside and outside the ring.
Ever since Mason stopped fighting she’s asked him if he was OK and he always said yes.
When Eden finds out Mason wants to fight again. Even just one fight she feels the rug get pulled out from underneath her. Eden refuses to loose her husband bc he gets hit in the head.
When Mason refuses to believe he’s in denial about not being able to fight Eden does the only thing she feels she can do. Leave him.
Leaving Mason isn’t anything Eden wants to do. But, Eden refuses to let Mason go thru this without fighting for him. No matter what the cost is.
There was a bunch of times I wanted to shake Eden bc it was 10000% obvious how much Mason loved her and I hated that she was doing this to them. Then, I’d remember it was him who wanted to do something that could cause him severe damage or kill himself and then I’d agree with her lol.
Mason gutted me. Ever since a car accident almost 14yrs my body hasn’t been the same. So I get it when your body wants to do one thing and your mind is telling you another and your heart is feeling another way.
Mason has to hit rockbottom in order to see everything in front of him clearly. But, watching a strong hard headed man get there slowly is painful to watch. ESP when you can understand how he feels and why.
He definitely handled the situation wrong. But the love he has for Eden was always there and I never questioned it. This was Kathy’s best work so far. I’m excited for her next release!!

Add one
hidden past. A dash of a pretend role. A shot of steamy chemistry. Put it in a
shaker, then pour for one exotic cocktail on the rocks!
Wesley
Templeton was determined to not follow in his namesake’s path as a Cardiac
Surgeon. Was he smart enough for it? Of course, he was a genius after all. Did
he have the time and patience to master the craft? Absolutely. Was he going to
let his controlling grandfather hold his trust fund over his head until he
achieved what was expected of him? Hell no!
Harper
Fairchild was the redheaded stepchild. Literally. Smart, nerdy, picked on, and
often thought of as an outcast. Her social life was a dismal as her family
relationships, so she left when she could and made a new life somewhere else.
Unfortunately she found it was hard to break the mold of what cast her as
undesirable. Until she loses a bet with a coworker and has to be made-over for
a blind date. When that turns into another disaster she escapes to a bar to
nurse her emotional wounds, striking up a conversation with the sexy bartender
and wondering if she could keep up the ruse of the confident sexy chick she was
pretending to be.
