  Title: Promise Me Not Series: Boys of Avix Author: Meagan Brandy  Release Date: October 01 She lost her first love. I'd give it all to be her second... For as long as I can remember, I’ve had one dream. Go to college with my best friends, earn a starting position on a division one team, and hear my name announced to the world come draft day.  The path was clear, and things were falling in place perfectly.  Until she showed up. I never meant to fall for my friend’s little sister and by the time I realized I had, it was too late.  I am a man in love with a girl … who is in love with someone else.  But I can’t compete with a ghost, and her heart was buried along side the boy she gave it to. The father of her unborn son.  Instead of fighting for something she’s unable to give, I do my best to be her friend, but then her little man comes along, and changes everything. She says I should walk away, focus on my love for football, but I can’t, because what sh...

  Title: The Beekeeper Author: S.M. Shade Release Date: September 20, 2024 After two years of hiding, I'm finally free and all I want is some peace and maybe a little garden to tend. The adorable cabin in the forest is just what I'm looking for, private and secluded. Other than the long dead inhabitants of the old graveyard nearby, I only have one neighbor. Arlow Shaw is antisocial if not outright reclusive, quiet, and guarded when it comes to discussing himself. A nature lover, he spends most of his time in the forest or tending to his bee hives. His calming effect on me is perplexing but exactly what I need. Through long nights spent talking over a bonfire, I grow close to the enigmatic man, but as we start to cross the line from friends to lovers, the trouble begins. What starts as a few footprints in the woods and some broken windows quickly escalates to violent threats. Our secrets are forced into the light but the question remains. Has my past come back to torment me or i...

  Title: Delayed Penalty Series: Seattle Serpents Author: Teagan Hunter  Release Date: September 12  I have two goals this season: 1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m not a complete screwup. 2. Stay away from the nanny. I’m hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in. It’s all going according to plan…until I’m forced to hire Quinn Benson. She’s everything I need to avoid—flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me. Thing is, the more she’s around, the more I want her around—and not just as a nanny. I can’t seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn’t. Quinn goes against everything I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t stay away. This might be one delayed penalty I don’t...
