A heart can only take so much.
Delilah Reily was a broken soul. The only person keeping her pushing forward is her daughter, Olive. She returned to her family home. A place that holds so many memories, some good and some bad. It was now time to mend fences while also trying to fix a beyond repairable heart.
Sebastian King, Formula One racer, was a single father. He met Delilah on the worst day of his life. A day he’d never forget. A day that left him raising a five-year-old and a newborn—it seemed things had gotten a whole lot more complicated. After a year of healing and being unable to continue with his career as a race driver, he decided it was best to be with his girls. Without any plans in place, he booked a holiday at Rose Ridge Ranch and left the following day.
Sebastian never thought he’d see Delilah again. But fate had other plans. Sometimes love needs a kickstart with a horseback ride.
Rose Ridge Ranch is a place for the broken to be mended. The special to blend in. Love to be found in the most unlikely places. The heart to find a home.
Can Sebastian and Delilah help each other overcome the things that hold them back?

3.5 Heart Review by Ashley
I love me a romance with a touch of the forbidden. Throw some danger and a military man into the mix...catnip! I loved that Lainie wasn't taking the threats coming her way laying down. She was bold and determined to fight. For her company and herself. Now she just had to get her best friend's broody brother to see her point of view. Easier said than done when it came to the stubborn protector. Especially when the chemistry between them could've been cut with a butter knife and the danger kept escalating. Lainie and Nick's friends-to-lovers romance was as thrilling as it was sweet. There were a few guest appearances that left me pleasantly surprised. And while some parts were predictable, Wolf was a good start to what I'm sure is going to be a fun series.

He’s so off limits. I’ve wanted him for years, but he still sees me as a kid. Staying away is impossible. I can’t get him out of my head, or my house. He’s everywhere. The spark Kingston ignites is a surprise. He’s educating me on how to get over Liam. The hot teacher is quiet, caring, and an old soul. He takes me to heaven with his touch. Doing Liam a favour, I introduce them so Kingston can be his tutor. But Liam’s learning more than the maths Kingston is teaching. He’s discovering a side of himself with my man, and now he wants Kingston too. I tried to walk away from Liam and wanted Kingston to myself. Can the third time be the charm? Or am I destined to watch both men I love score together, leaving me on the sidelines once again? Third Time’s A Charm is a bi-awakening, opposites-attract MMF romance with NO cheating.   Other Titles in the Series About the Author By day Ann Grech lives in the corporate world and can be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. Glasses, briefcase, high heels and a pencil skirt, she’s got the librarian look nailed too. If only they knew! She swears like a sailor, so that’s got to be a hint. The other one was “the look” from her tattoo artist when she told him that she wanted her kids initials “B” and “J” tattooed on her foot. It took a second to register that it might be a bad idea. She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe now and loves her MM book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)! She also publishes her raunchier short stories under her pen name, Olive Hiscock.

 Maxwell Sinclair made his fortune by creating stories. Along with the label of NYT Bestseller came many others: playboy, womanizer, arrogant, intense, and asshole.
The very last thing Charlotte Campbell expected when she was tossed in at the last minute to be his handler at a book signing was that he would also be stunning, wildly charismatic, and used to getting what he wants. Today, what he wants is her.
Scorpio is a quick, steamy, billionaire, insta-lust romance that you won't be able to put down.
I’m not having the best day. My principal called me in to tell me that my teaching assignment will change this school year. The advanced placement program I’ve worked so hard to build will now be in the hands of someone new… someone who’s unqualified. As I’m leaving that meeting, who do I see?
The boy from my past, all grown up, the one who stole my heart… and my future.
My archnemesis… Mason effin’ McIntyre.
While he looks at me like I’m a sight to behold, I formulate a plan to get rid of him. Make his life so miserable, he has no choice but to bug out and go back to his successful life, the life he stole from me.
If only things were that easy. My mind says he has to go. If only my body and heart would listen.
The last thing I want is Austin Kane.
He's hotheaded, cocky and the only man who has ever broken my heart.
If I had my way, I'd never lay eyes on him again.
But tragedy has led me back to my hometown and unknowingly right back into Austin's orbit.
Complicated circumstances lead to forced proximity and the harsh reality that his isn't the same man he once was.
He's taller, broader, softer, and it's nearly impossible to keep my eyes off of him and my thoughts pure.
The last thing I want is Austin Kane.
But my heart has other plans.
I swear didn’t mean to pepper-spray the tall, dark, hot man lurking in the bushes outside my villa.
Especially since it turns out he’s my childhood best friend, Seth Carlisle.
The first boy I ever crushed on.
The one who got away.
I definitely didn’t expect him showing up as my new security detail.
In my defense, I thought he was my abusive, stalker ex or the crazy paparazzi trying to snap another embarrassing photo.
Being a mega pop star isn’t always easy.
I’m not sure why I thought hiding out in Vegas from my insane celebrity lifestyle was a smart idea.
I came for a quiet retreat to heal physically and emotionally and reflect on my messy life, but honestly, I could use the distraction.
There’s no denying our attraction.
The kindhearted boy with the messy dark hair, soul-piercing eyes, and incredible smile has grown into the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.
It broke my heart the day I left Montana to follow my dreams and Seth joined the military with my brother.
I never stopped thinking about him.
Time hasn’t changed a thing.
One look at him and old feelings are alive again.
It’s no surprise we cozy up quickly.
The fire is still there and our chemistry sizzles hotter than the Vegas strip.
Seeing him again only makes me want to do all the dirty things.
I thought our story was finished but one kiss and I want more.
Now he’s in charge of guarding my life and he’ll risk everything to do his job.
He’s always made me feel safe but now that danger lurks can he protect me?
Now that I found him again, I’ll do anything to make him mine.
The list of reasons we can’t be together is long, but this time I don’t care.
I’m playing for keeps.
I know what I want, but do I have the guts to take it?
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Right? Or does it?

A Foster Fling Anthology
-- SNEAK PEEKS: If I Can’t Have You – Jordain Knolls I don’t remember much about the kid but I remember the way he looked at me once we were alone. The air shifted, like the oxygen suddenly disappeared. My breath was caught in my throat. I felt like I was on fire, and I knew it wasn’t the liquor anymore making me feel this way I swallowed hard, trying my fucking hardest to stay calm. He stood from the bed, his gaze never leaving mine as he stalked toward me. For fourteen, he was intimidating. He leaned down, placing his hands on either side of my head. His gaze floated across every part of my face. Time was fucking frozen, but I was spiraling. “What are you doing?” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Kissing you.” Before I could interject, his lips crashed down on mine. I was done for. Melting into the bean bag chair as a wave of emotions crashed through me like an angry sea. So many thoughts were going through my head. I’ve never kissed a boy before. Why did I like it so much? Where is Gabe? Why is he kissing me? But the main one stirring in my head was what is he going to do next? I never got that answer. I never would. Because while he was kissing me, Gabe was in our dads office, loading a shot gun, putting it to his head, and pulling the trigger. The rest of that night and so many months after were one giant blur and My life crashed and burned. I never saw that Forster kid again. And every night since, I’ve spent my time dousing my pain with the Lords amber embrace. -- Destructive Harbor – Ally Vance When I picked up my latest foster daughter from the social services office, I found a young, woman who was little more than a shell veiled with defiance. It called to my protective urges, and I knew I had to take her. The report I was given when they told me they had another foster child for me detailed a troubled past, the reason she was thrown into the system, along with the history of previous foster parents she’d had. It’s a game of chance when someone enters the system, whether they’ll end up in a loving, nurturing home, or with someone who does it for the paycheck. I won’t deny that the money isn’t a nice bonus, but it’s more than that. Ten years ago my wife passed away suddenly from a heart attack, taking with her our unborn child and leaving me with my young son and a half-empty heart. I had a lot of love and care to give, so I applied to become a carer for the unwanted and lost children who needed a safe harbor to reside in. What I didn’t expect was how deeply I would come to care for her, or how wrongly I would feel. There are boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed, and all I want is to hurtle straight over them to the other side. I’m supposed to be the one offering her safety, comfort, and the love of a surrogate parent, but all I want to do is take her in ways I shouldn’t even consider, that I shouldn’t be dreaming about. The quiet, reserved girl is calling out to the darker side of me, creating a storm in the harbor I’ve spent years creating, threatening to destroy it. The darkness of her eyes, contrasting with her honey-colored hair and fair skin made her far more appealing than I had any right to find her. All my life I’ve given everything in me to those I’ve taken care of, have loved. But when Robyn Wymer walked through the door to my home, with her shaking hand clutching mine, I had no idea what kind of storm was about to be unleashed, and what the lasting effects of that would be.

Reasons Why Not to Date Your Nemesis
GIVEAWAY! Hosted by: 
Dylan Correia has always had a special gift. At first he thought he was having a bad trip, hallucinations. By eighteen, he realized it was something different. Something powerful. It began as a wave of prickly heat sweeping over his body, causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end and his eyes to slam shut. He'd see things—terrible things—in his head, and like the echoes of a lucid dream, the thoughts would stay with him for days, torturing him.
He continued ignoring the power, lying to himself, until the day he saw it on the news—a Chevy Malibu flipped upside down and burning. The same one he'd seen in his visions the night before.
After a few years away at college, unburdened by these visions through frequent alcohol abuse, Dylan reaches graduation having already started a successful vinyl and comic book store with his best friend. Everything runs smoothly until a mysterious run-in with a stranger from a top-secret government agency threatens to flip his world on its end.
There’s a new program and Dylan’s a perfect fit.
Will Dylan take the stranger up on his generous, but vaguely described, offer? Does he have what it takes to pass the rigorous training if he does choose to join the program? And at what cost to him?

 BT Urruela is a combat wounded amputee, purple heart recipient, contemporary author who has written both independent and traditionally published books. He is a RARE under 40 award recipient, Rockwood Summit High School and Rockwood School District Hall of Fame inductee, Co-founder and Brand Ambassador for VETSports, Ambassador for Tampa Sports Academy, People Magazine Tribute for Heroes winner, Cover Model, Motivational Speaker and Philanthropist.
At an early age he began writing short stories having been inspired by reading books authored by RL Stein. His maternal grandmother's bookshelf was filled with literature that inspired his young mind and cultivated his vivid imagination.
Upon graduation from high school his desire to have a 20-year military career was cut drastically short by an improvised explosive device. Taking the life of his commander, and leaving the remaining four team members badly wounded.
After careful consideration and multiple surgeries, he along with the guidance of his doctors made the decision to amputate. It was the only surgery he ever left with a smile on his face, as if a weight had been lifted. He struggled for two more years through 4-5 hours of physical therapy a day, five days a week to get adapted to his new prosthetic. He medically retired from the Army with high hopes. His focus on restoring his physical shape being the most eminent battle caused him to neglect his psychological state.
Meeting people was difficult and there were very few options for veterans to utilize that would stimulate friendship, and ultimately, allow communication barriers to be breached. After moving to Tampa, Florida, he co-founded the veteran community sports nonprofit, VETSports, with two other combat wounded veterans. It was their mission to change the way veterans transitioned back to civilian life through organized team sports, community involvement, and leadership opportunities.
After being invited to attend a photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Michael Stokes, he flew to California in December of 2014, with incredible excitement. His photos were so widely publicized that he soon gained exposure to the literary world like he'd always dreamed of. That opportunity launched him into his present writing career. He co-wrote the novel 'A Lover's Lament with author KL Grayson. The following year he released first solo novel, 'Into the Nothing' and will be releasing Wicked Little Words with author Stevie J. Cole. He is now writing full-time.
