THE ACCIDENTAL DATING EXPERIMENT, a brother’s best friend, forced proximity, fake dating/dating coach workplace romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Lauren Blakely, is out now!

Scroll down for an excerpt!

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me…

I’ve spent the better part of eight years resisting my best friend’s little sister. What’s one more week?

The hardest week ever when it includes a proposition to be her dating coach.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with the bright, big-hearted Juliet before our lives went in different directions.

Now, I’m the grumpy to her sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear – whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

Check out Danielle’s 5 SMOOCHES review!

EXCERPT:

Sure, I could try to figure out my stuff better. Try to work on all these walls I erect. But is it fair to work on them with her? I don’t think it is. It’s not fair to ask her to wait for me to become a better partner either.

My heart twists painfully. I hate that feeling so instead I steal a sniff of her hair, that vanilla-honey scent going to my head.

Making me think maybe someday.

When her eyes flutter open, though, I’m thinking one thing. Now.

“Hey,” she whispers.

I half want to tell her that I think her brother figured me out, but when she cups my cheek and strokes my jaw, I don’t want to talk at all. I cover her warm body in one swift move, grabbing her wrists, pinning them above her head, and dropping my mouth onto hers.

She wraps her legs around me, hooking them over my ass. She’s soft and pliant, arching up into me, asking for what we both desperately want.

I kiss her harder, and at times like this, words only get in the way. But there are a few I need to say. I wrench away and meet her gaze. “Sawyer is staying the night. Can you be quiet as I f$#k you?”

“I can try.”

I shake my head as I shift my body next to hers. “You have to, Juliet.”

She smiles. “Then you’ll have to make me be quiet.”

KING OF NOTHING, an all-new contemporary romance from New York Times Bestselling Author, Aurora Rose Reynolds, releases July 29th! Check out this cover!

Title:  KING OF NOTHING
Author:  AURORA ROSE REYNOLDS
Genre:  CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Cover Design:  RBA DESIGNS
Photographer:  WANDER AGUIAR
Release Date:  JULY 29, 2024

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.

Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?

SO THIS IS WAR, a new forbidden workplace sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author, Meghan Quinn, releases June 25th, and I’ve got a sneak peek and the cover reveal!

I’m still unclear on how I got into this predicament in the first place…

Did I think I was going to fall for my coach’s daughter?

The answer would be no.

I’m still unclear on how I got into this predicament in the first place. A year ago, I was a man with one thought on his mind, the redhead I met at a hotel bar. Twelve months later, I found her.

Unfortunately for me, she not only happens to be my very off-limits coach’s daughter, but also . . . my new assistant and roommate.

I don’t even need an assistant, but Coach Wood doesn’t take no for an answer. Add in him writing up tasks for his daughter, Wylie, to complete for me? Well, it’s his own form of sweet torture. We are talking tasks that I would never ask her to do.

Tasks that make her despise me.

Hate me.

That make her utter four words that cause a shiver to crawl up my spine . . . Posey, this is war.

EXCERPT:

“Posey,” Coach Wood snaps, and I’m quickly tossed out of my reverie.

“Yes, hi.” I clear my throat and hold out my hand awkwardly. “I’m Levi Posey, your new boss.”

With a devilish smirk on her lips, Wylie—now I know her goddamn name—sits down in the chair next to me and takes my hand in hers. Just like last time, a bolt of electricity shoots up my arm and straight to my c*ck.

Mother of f*ck…

“Great to meet you, Levi. I look forward to tending to your every need.”

She lets go of my hand and turns to her father, who doesn’t seem too pleased.

Maybe it was my staring.

Maybe it was her sexual innuendo.

Maybe because this office now feels like a pressure cooker.

Either way, he looks back and forth between us and says, “Wylie, you understand your job responsibilities, correct?”

“Oh yes, to be at Mr. Posey’s beck and call.”

“Levi,” I croak out. “Levi is fine.”

“To keep things professional, I prefer Mr. Posey,” Wylie says with a glint in her stormy eye.

Jesus, is it hot in here? Because it feels really hot. Is it just me?

“A masterful blend of angsty emotion, passion and the tender, romantic rekindling of  first love.” ~Danielle, Red Cheeks Reads

Check out Danielle’s 5 SMOOCHES review!

EXCERPT:

I went out to the sanctuary, fed the animals, spent time with the chickens, and then came in to prep, as Phoebe called it. I washed, scrubbed, buffed, shaved, and cleaned every orifice of my body. Not that I have any plans for Crew to see any part of my body, but . . . a girl has to be ready for anything.

Not only that, but I needed to do something to take up my time because otherwise, I’ll sit here coming up with a million scenarios about why he had to come see me.

Today.

Urgently.

And with a problem.

I look at my phone, anxious because he should be pulling in at any minute. Instead of meeting at the diner, it’s so much easier to just come here. So, Grady is driving him to the house.

So freaking awkward.

Headlights shine down the drive to where my cottage is, and I look in the mirror for the five hundredth time.

“You are a confident, smart, and amazing woman. Don’t be a bumbling fool.”

My reflection doesn’t exactly show that same level of confidence, but the knock on the door says it’s time to fake it.

I walk out to the living room and open the door. Crew is there, in a three-piece suit, looking so damn hot I might be burned just from being close to him.

His dark brown hair is pushed back and to the side. The dimple on his left cheek looks deeper than yesterday, but there’s a worry in his crystal blue eyes that has me concerned.

“Hey,” I say softly.

“Hey. Sorry to drop in like this.”

I shake my head. “No worries. Come in.”

He turns back to my brother. “Thanks for the ride. I’ll have Cliff meet me out here to drive back. I know you have the kids and it might be late.”

Grady looks like he’s ready to crawl out of his skin. Crew is both his boss and he delivered him to his little sister. I grin, loving this moment. “Bye, Grady!”

I pull Crew in and close the door. I laugh a little and Crew stares at me with a smile. “Enjoying yourself?”

“That moment was priceless. He wanted to rip your head off, but couldn’t. Oh, if only I had recorded it.”

Crew chuckles. “As an older brother, I can imagine exactly how that must’ve felt.”

I shrug. “Serves him right.”

Crew looks around my cottage, shaking his head. “You know, this place is a hundred percent you.”

“How so?” I ask, not sure if that’s a compliment or not.

“It’s just warm, comforting, filled with everything you’d want a home to be. The couch looks inviting and well loved. Everything is in great condition and it’s a place you want to be in.”

Definitely a compliment. “I’m sure yours is a dream.”

“Mine is a museum. I hate the couch, it’s fucking hard as a rock, but the designer was adamant it was the best piece for the space. Everything is spotless. You’d never know a human lives there.”

“Still, I’m sure it’s stunning.”

Crew walks over to my sofa and sits, melting into the broken-in furniture. “No, this is stunning and a dream, Brynn. This is a home.”

I move over, taking the seat next to him. “Why did you fly out here?” I ask, not really able to hold back.

His beautiful Nordic eyes meet mine. “Marry me.”

Scroll down for an excerpt!

This situation is only temporary. We’re at a crossroads…

I met West Haven when I was eight years old. He taught me to play poker when I was nine, and we made paper airplanes together when I was eleven. He kissed me when I was sixteen. He was the best part about my family’s summer vacations to Montana. He was the boy who stole my heart. I was twenty-three when life ripped us apart.

Years later, I’m breaking my vow and returning to the ranch, not as a guest but its new owner. West might want me gone, but even he has to admit the only way to save his family’s legacy is with my help.

It’s not easy working side by side and facing those old memories. But this situation is only temporary. We’re at a crossroads. And as long as I don’t let myself fall in love with West Haven again, maybe this is our chance to put those ghosts to rest. Maybe this time we’ll finally be able to say goodbye.

EXCERPT:

“The boys don’t know about this.” Curtis’s announcement was no more than a murmur, but he might as well have screamed it in my ear.

“W-what?”

“I didn’t know how to tell them.”

My jaw dropped. “So you just . . . didn’t?”

He shook his head.

Oh, hell. Seriously? How could he have kept this a secret? Was this my punishment for trying to do the right thing? Having to watch as he delivered the bad news? Or was he expecting me to tell them?

My temples throbbed with every question. This headache would be a migraine before the day was done.

“You will tell them.” I steeled my spine and splayed my fingers on the desk.

My desk.

This was my desk.

I wasn’t a guest. I wasn’t a spectator. I was here on business.

I was here to do what Dad had taught me to do.

From this moment on, I was in charge. And I was going to make Curtis tell his children that I was now the owner of the Crazy Mountain Cattle Resort.

“I’ll tell them.” Curtis nodded.

As the color drained from his face, my heart twisted.

He’d had over a month to tell them. Any other situation, and I wouldn’t feel an ounce of pity. He’d made his bed.

But this was Curtis. This was the man who’d helped me on my first horse. The man who’d befriended my father. The man who’d always made sure my family had an escape.

If he couldn’t do it, if he couldn’t tell West and Jax, then I’d do it for him.

Footsteps sounded in the hallway.

I sat up straighter as my pulse raced. Breathe. In and out.

Four days on the road, prepping myself for this, and I still wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready to face him.

“Dad?” Jax called.

Phew. The air rushed from my lungs. The relief would be short lived, but I’d take every millisecond I could get.

“In here.” Curtis kept his gaze trained out the window.

Jax breezed into the office, drawing up short when he spotted me behind the desk. “Hi. Sorry. Thought Dad was alone.”

“Hi.” I stood and held out my hand. “Indya Keller.”

“Nice to meet you, ma’am.” He studied my face as he returned the shake. “Or have we met?”

“We have.” I nodded. “But it was a long time ago.”

The last time I had seen Jax, he was a teenager, finishing his senior year of high school. Had he gone to college? Or had he been here for the past four years?

He’d filled out his broad frame and lost the softness of youth. Dark-blond whiskers covered his jaw. His smile was easy. Charming. Not something he shared with his brother.

West’s smiles were always charming but never came easy.

Jax took the seat beside his father, kicking an ankle up over his knee. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes narrowed, no doubt wondering what I was doing on the wrong side of the desk. “What’s this about?”

“We’ll wait for West,” Curtis said.

Jax hummed and snatched a water, gulping half the bottle in the time it took for another pair of footsteps to echo in the hallway.

My shoulders drew toward my ears, but I forced them down. I donned the impassive expression I’d mastered lately. The expression Blaine hated. Ironic, because our marriage was the reason I’d learned it in the first place.

But despite the neutral facade, my heart drummed faster and faster. Then it stopped. The moment West appeared, everything stopped.

The world faded to a blur, and I forgot how to breathe.

God, he looked good. As rugged and handsome as the day I’d vowed never to visit this ranch again. His dark hair was a mess. There was a slight ring around it, like he’d been wearing a hat for hours today and he’d used his fingers to comb it out. His chiseled jaw was covered in thick, dark stubble.

His broad frame filled the doorway. The top two buttons on his chambray shirt were undone, the skin beneath tan and sweaty. There was a pair of leather gloves tucked in the back pocket of his faded Wranglers.

“What’s—” The moment he spotted me behind the desk, he came to an abrupt halt outside the door. “Indya?”

Once upon a time, I’d lived to hear that deep, gravelly voice. “Hi, West.”

His hazel eyes roamed my face, taking in every detail. Then they dropped to my hands on the desk. To the finger that used to wear a diamond ring.

“Have a seat,” Curtis said.

West’s gaze shifted to his father. Whatever he saw made his frame lock and his jaw clench. “Think I’ll stand.”

Of course he would.

There was no more obstinate, stubborn man on this planet than West Haven.

Curtis sighed, like he’d expected that reaction from his oldest son. He nodded, then swallowed hard, but didn’t speak.

Would he tell them? Or was he just going to sit there and stare at me?

The sound of my pounding heart was so loud, I was sure the men could hear it too.

Curtis kept his attention fixed on me like we were playing a game. Who would crack first? He wasn’t going to tell them, was he? Coward. He was going to make me do it.

“Dad?” Jax asked. “What’s—”

“I sold the ranch.”

The breath I’d been holding rushed from my lungs. The temperature in the room plummeted as Curtis’s statement settled deep.

“What the fuck?” Jax exploded out of his chair, the backs of his knees sending it skidding across the floor. “You sold the ranch?”

Waves of icy fury rolled off West’s body, but he didn’t move. He fixed his stare on me, pinning me to this horrible chair.

Curtis dropped his chin and managed a nod. The shame seemed to weigh so heavily on his shoulders I feared that flimsy chair would collapse.

“To you?” Jax pointed to my nose. “He sold it to you?”

“Yes,” I answered, still holding West’s gaze.
