Title: Interference (St. Michaels Duet #1)
Author: Harlow Cole
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
I’m a goddamn prodigy. It’s true. Ask anyone.
I threw my first curveball the day I was born.
The whole town is waiting on me.
To live up to my father’s famous name. To reach for the stars.
All I want to reach for is her.
But Ashley is the sweet addiction I can’t afford. She’s my best friend’s sister. Hell, she’s practically my little sister. For years, I’ve protected her from guys that want one thing. What happens now that I’ve turned into one of them? Who’s gonna shield her from the way I was made, from my little white lies and from what I’m about to become?
My game plan sounds simple: Pitch my way into the Major League draft and stay out of Ashley Foster’s pants. That first part may be statistically difficult.
The second feels damn near impossible.
Ashley
From the moment we met, I knew he was trouble.
The kind my mother sent me to find.
The type that ruins you for any other brand.
When we were young kids, I didn’t know what to call the frogs and butterflies that danced in my belly whenever Brayden came near. Now I know they have a name.
Those three little words that could heal or destroy him.
Before Brayden, my life was normal. And then it wasn’t. It couldn’t be. Ever again. How was I to know stealing his seat would change all our lives?
Anger and forgiveness share two halves of the same coin.
Our story might make you choose sides.

Brandon:
Sabrina was my childhood friend. My first crush. My first mistake was leaving her behind. I had crushed her heart, unaware of the feelings she harbored for me. And twenty years is a long time to hold onto that grief. Now I'm back in Seattle and like fate has it, we meet again.
She might not have been my first kiss or love but I want her to be my soul-mate. My life partner.I might never be able to get over my first love, but I want Sabrina to complete me and be my new beginning.
I wish to be her knight in shining armor, saving her from the shackles of a broken marriage. A real father for her daughter, Clara.
But I have fucked up too many times in the past. She won't trust me with her heart again. I can come close to being her friend but nothing more....
When have I ever given up, though? I try not to play unfair this time, but with Linden guiding me with his twisted antics (He stole my first love - My Gem from me or maybe it was me who first tried to snatch her from him - either way Gem is his now and he's just returning the favor), I might actually make Sabrina fall for me.
As Brandon, I can just be her best friend, but as 'Scott' (Her anonymous on-line friend), I will gain her trust and woo her. No matter whom she chooses, she will end up with me and I will be everything she wants and asks for.
Twisted Connections is a Spin-Off of Love Connection Series. Every book in Twisted Connections can be read as a standalone. (It's NOT necessary to read Love Connection Series before reading this book)
Brandon
Keeping the towel aside, I cup her cheeks and tip her chin, making her look into my eyes. “Yes. If going back in time meant I would get another chance with you, I would in a heartbeat.” Absolute silence again as she studies me, searching for any hints of a lie. “But I also know that’s not how real world works. I’ll have to prove my every word to you and deem myself as worthy in your eyes. And given a chance, I’ll do it, Ri. You’ve no idea just how badly I want to.”
“I never pegged you as a badass.” A vibrant smile cracks through her face. “But you did look mighty fine beating his ass, and all for me. Despite how ugly the situation was, it made me feel good, proud and happy even.”
“Oh baby, you’ve seen nothing yet. I can be a really cool superhero, or even a totally badass antihero. You get to make the choice.” Her breaths quicken as I see the first hints of real desire eroding her cheeks, adding another layer of glow and radiance. “I’ve so much to offer you. You’ve no idea.”
Clutching my collar, she pulls me closer, our breaths imbibing with our scents. “Show me, what I’m missing out on, Brandon. Show me what you can do to me. What you can make me feel.”
“Do you have any idea what you’re asking for?” I really hadn’t anticipated everything to escalate this quickly between us. In fact, I had stopped dreaming of getting physical with her and yet here we are in her kitchen, with our bodies just inches away, acutely aware of what might follow. So much can change within a span of an hour….and it seems my wish just came true.
“Give me a hint,” she smirks, naughtiness gleaming in her eyes.
She need not have to say it twice. I don’t know what state of mind she’s in, but if she wants physical intimacy to alleviate her senses, then I’m more than happy to deliver. Swooping my mouth down, I capture her lips with mine. She is shy, unsure, but I can still feel the eagerness in the way her lips slant against mine, following my lead, yet trying to surprise me. “Ri,” I whisper against her mouth. “Let me in.” It’s my most desperate plea ever. Her eyes widen in delight as she concedes. She barely parts her lips as I slip my tongue inside, finally tasting her. Since the time I met her again, I’ve racked my brain to remember what touching and tasting her felt like. But the memory serves no justice to what kissing her for real actually feels like. It brings the feel of finally stepping into the bright, sunny, outdoors after waiting out a heavy storm. The satisfaction of witnessing the watered and fertilized soil nurturing a sown seed. Th pleasant warmth brought by seeing the sunflowers blooming and opening under the sun, swaying in the cool breeze and spreading joy all around. She is life and hope all bundled into a package of shy yet curious lips. Fuck. I always knew I was gone for, but this one kiss sealed the deal for good.

Lose your inhibitions and get ready for a wildly sexy ride...
Always Wanting
Abigail Summers is addicted to sex. Not by choice, but by her body’s demands. If she doesn’t have sex at least once a day, her body is wracked with unbearable withdraws. It’s not a lifestyle she chose for herself. When Colt Maverick walks into her life with his beautiful blue eyes, sexy as sin body, and possessive nature, she craves something more. Will he be enough to satisfy her insatiable desires?
Bare Yourself
Meet Teagan Zanders; fun-loving, sexy, and an exhibitionist. He enjoys having someone watch while he and his partners are giving and receiving pleasure. To him, it’s the ultimate high and extremely arousing. He’s never been tempted to settle down with one woman. That is, until he meets Willow Bennett. Now all he can think about is showing her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let him put her on display.
Watching Mine
Nathan is a watcher. There’s nothing more erotic than seeing desire on people’s faces as they writhe in pleasure or when their bodies tighten as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. He’s a loner, preferring to stay on the outside looking in. But from the first time he watched the woman in the apartment across from his, he knew she was different. She teases him with her soft touches and silent moans. Once he has her, there’s no way he’ll ever go back to simply watching.

BOOK TRAILER
The rapid thump of music from the overhead speakers matched my mood as I swayed in the shadows of Flux’s dance floor, a club that catered to the fae. This was where I’d found and killed Tobias, one of the fae who’d joined Aric in the attack against my mother and me.
I wasn’t worried about being recognized in the mass of twisting human flesh that churned alongside and against the fae in the place. Most of those that frequented Flux were of the Winter Court—the bad Court that actively hunted humans to feed on so the fae did not age. The very same Court that belonged to Queen Morgana. Every so often a Summer fae was spotted, but those sightings were few and far between. I saw no fae at all tonight. Questing hands slipped from my waist and slid down to my hips again. Frustration made me grab What’s His Name’s wrists harder than I intended. I’d honestly rather be scrubbing my lady bits with a brillo pad than dancing with an obvious first-timer to New Orleans, one who wore so much cologne, he could star in an Axe body spray commercial. However, lurking alone in a club like this was suspicious. Not when everyone came here to hook up. “Damn, girl, you got a hell of a grip on you,” he murmured into my ear. “That’s hot.” I rolled my eyes as I placed his hands back on my waist. “So, you come here a lot?” He squeezed my hipbones. “No,” I said, focusing on the dance floor near the stairs that led to the private second level, where the fae normally chilled in-between glamouring humans and feeding on them. “Then I guess it’s my lucky night, isn’t it?” I opened my mouth to tell him to not only talk less but also wear less cologne, when I felt a tight shiver of awareness. The kind of feeling you got when it felt as if someone were— The man behind me shouted in surprise. His hands left my hips as I spun around. The dark-haired tourist stumbled, catching his balance on a nearby table. He shoved off it, puffing out his chest, but drew up short a second before broad shoulders and a tapered waist clad in a black shirt blocked my view. The guy’s blond hair was secured in a short ponytail, and the scent of summer rain replaced the overpowering musk of cologne. I sucked in a sharp breath of disbelief as I saw What’s His Name dart to my left, intelligently wanting nothing to do with what stood in front of me. I could not believe it. Crossing my arms over my chest, I waited. I didn’t have to wait long. He decided to grace me with a full-frontal of what had to be—unfortunately—the most beautiful male face I’d ever seen. The King was here.
