Title:  MY SO-CALLED SEX LIFE

Series:  HOW TO DATE (#1)

Author:  LAUREN BLAKELY

Cover Designer: Y’ALL. THAT GRAPHIC

Release Date:  MARCH 1, 2023

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley.

Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis.

The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Only now, our publishers are sending us on a joint trip across Europe to mingle with our most devoted readers on an old-fashioned luxury train. And thanks to a booking snafu, we have to share a sleeper car.

You guessed it–there’s only one bed.

I’m not sure I can survive the next seven days and nights with my dangerously sexy enemy and all our fiery tension.

Which explodes one night in a desperately needed hate bang.

But the bigger plot twist is this – the more time we spend together, visiting the most romantic cities in Europe by day and discovering each other at night, the more I’m forced to face our past.

To let go of the hurt.

To see the man he’s become.

And when I do, I wonder if it’s too late to write a new happy ending for us?

I’m about to lose everything.

My home. My name. My future.

I’m about to lose everything.

My home. My name. My future.

My husband was involved in something that could cost us our lives, and on his deathbed, he demands my daughter and I flee Britain.

I had no idea he found her biological father, Holden James, in Rose Canyon, and that’s where we’d start over.

The moment we see each other, feelings I’d long forgotten rush over me. Holden doesn’t hesitate to care for us. We find ourselves reaching for each other, even when we should hold back. His smile warms me, his arms protect me, and against my better judgment, I fall for him. All the possibilities of a future are threatened by a looming past.

I’m being hunted, and it’s just a matter of time before someone finds me guilty of crimes I didn’t commit. Whatever trouble my husband was involved in won’t evade me forever.

I am trying to keep my promise and stay for Holden, but I don’t know how long it’ll be before we have to run.

My name was Sophie Pearson, but I vanished, just like my hope to ever find love again.

EXCERPT:

“Dance with me, Sophie.”

Her forehead touches my chest, and we sway a little. “Dancing in the dark is what got us in trouble.”

I chuckle against her ear. “I think it was the bathroom, love. I don’t remember dancing then, but I’ll always remember tonight. When you spilled juice on me and then danced with me barefoot in the puddle.”

I feel her head move side to side. “Holden?”

“Yes?”

She pauses, and my heartbeat quickens as her finger moves as if she’s tracing something against my skin. “I like you.”

“That’s good,” I say with a soft laugh.

“I like you more than I feel like I should.”

I like her a hell of a lot more than I should, but I don’t say it. Instead, I turn us a little and rub my thumb along her spine. “I don’t think there’s such a thing.”

Her soft sigh fills the room. “I’m not ready to like you that way.”

She has been through hell, and I don’t doubt that she’s scared, but I would burn the world down before I hurt her. The feelings Sophie has, I share as well.

I like the way she smiles.

I love her voice and the way she gets animated when telling me a story about her life. When I’m at work, I count down the minutes until I can get back.

She gave me more in the last few months than I ever thought possible. She gave me a daughter, but even if Eden didn’t exist, I would gravitate to Sophie.

Her warmth radiates off her, and I crave it.

“Then we’ll dance until you’re ready.”

THE GAME, a forbidden new sports romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Vi Keeland, is available now!

Scroll down for an excerpt!

There was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss… It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong…sometimes they feel so right.

EXCERPT:

I tilted my head. “Can I ask you something?”

He shrugged. “Sure.”

“Why are you here?”

“You mean at the Bruins?”

I shook my head. “No, here with me at this moment. You must have plenty of other things you could be doing right now that are more fun than listening to my drivel.”

“Maybe I like drivel.”

I snort-laughed. “No one likes drivel.”

He smiled, and his eyes dropped to my lips for a fraction of a second.

“Maybe I like you.”

I shifted in my seat to face him. “Why?”

Christian shrugged again. “I don’t know. I think you’re interesting.”

My eyes narrowed. “What about me is interesting?”

“You’re a billionaire who lives in a rent-controlled apartment over a fruit stand and tried to give the team you inherited to your grandfather. What’s not interesting about you? Given your situation, most people I know would live in a penthouse by now and take car services, not walk twenty minutes to the stadium every day after getting off the train.”

I raised an eyebrow, and a grin spread across Christian’s face.
“Plus, you’re hot.”

That last part made me smile. “And technically, I’m your boss.”
His grin widened. “That makes you even hotter.”

I chuckled. “Tell me about yourself, Christian. I feel like you know so much about me, but I don’t know anything about you, other than your stats, of course.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“You think I’m hot too, don’t you?”

I laughed. “Just answer the question, Knox. Something tells me your ego gets stroked enough.”

“Yes, ma’am.” He shook his head. “No girlfriend.”

I tapped my lip with my pointer. “What do you do in the offseason?”

“Recover. Let my body heal. Sleep. Fish. I have a cabin on a lake up in Maine. Spend time with friends. Travel. Keep up with my training.”

“That sounds so…normal.”

“The season is anything but normal when you play in the NFL. It’s tough on the body and mind. You’re on the road all the time, the media follows your ass around, women hand you underwear with their numbers written on them and sneak into your hotel room. So normal is good.”

My face wrinkled. “Women give you their underwear?”

Christian smiled. “Any other questions?”

“Am I demented if I’m curious to know whether the underwear are clean or not?”

He laughed. “Maybe. But I like the way you think.”

CUTE BUT PSYCHO, a suspenseful new romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author, Lani Lynn Vale, is available now!

Scroll down for an exclusive excerpt!

He wasn’t who she thought he was.

He’s much, much worse. But only in the best of ways…

Etienne LaFayette hits the ground running the moment he breathes free air after being paroled from a maximum-security prison in Texas.

He claws his life back from his brother-in-law who’d taken over his business during the years he’d spent as an inmate at Huntsville Penitentiary. Though it is hard, he puts his life back together in Accident, Florida.

There, he hires new employees, joins a motorcycle club, and becomes wildly successful overnight.

Seems like the perfect life, right?

Wrong.

Because one of his first clients is a beautiful, curly-haired woman that reels him in from the moment he first lays eyes on her. Only, before he can work his charm, she forms an opinion of him based solely on the person that he chose to work at his side, day in and day out. That opinion? Utter disgust.

***

Matilda Deveraux has been dealt blow after blow her entire life.

First with the death of her mom. Then living with a stepfamily that despises her.

Her entire life she’s been known as different. The “weird girl that creeps everyone out.”

It’s not her fault that she’s different, yet everyone, including Etienne’s assistant, treats her like she’s a menace to society.
Like she would be better off in a loony bin than gracing the streets of Accident, Florida.

After years of abuse from everyone around her, the last thing she needs is to be around a man that would have that horrible woman around him twenty-four seven.

As a result, she forms an opinion—something that people do to her all the time—and treats him accordingly.
Only, it turns out that Etienne isn’t who she thought he was.

He’s much, much worse. But only in the best of ways.

EXCERPT:

Etienne

“You know, when our babies are born, you’re not going to get to come around and see them because you’ve never put her first,” I called to her dad.

“Babies?” Ladd asked.

“Not quite yet,” I said. “But when I get her to see what she has in front of her face? Yeah, we’ll have ’em. Lots of ’em.”

Ladd’s shoulders slumped. “I didn’t realize…”

“You did realize,” I corrected him. “You just didn’t want to do anything about it to rock the boat even more. Two wrongs don’t make a right here. Two wrongs are two wrongs. And you’re making one of those wrongs worse and worse every single day.”

Ladd’s head dropped, and I didn’t even feel bad.

I felt like Ladd deserved to feel like a pile of shit.

That woman in there had felt like she was second-rate goods for way too long.

Not anymore. Not on my watch.

I may not be the best man, or the best human being, but I’d always put her first.

From now on, that was my first priority.

“Come back when you want to spend time with her,” I called to him. “She’ll welcome you any time.”

I had no doubt about that.

People could shit on her, again and again, and she’d always have a second chance for them.

Her earlier words, though.

You should’ve worried about me ten years ago when I was struggling to find reasons to live.

God, had she really felt like that?

That sort of, kind of, maybe a lot, made me hate the man that was walking away.

For anyone to feel like that was a tragedy.

For her to feel like that…

It made me enraged.

He’s the bane of her existence… and her brother’s best friend! Fall for a new trope-tactic romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe!

Flynn McCord is ruggedly charming, impossibly annoying, and… my brother’s best friend. He’s been driving me crazy as long as I can remember – and not even in a sexy, fun ‘oh my god, don’t stop’ kind of way. Is it any wonder the only action I’m getting these days is of the solo variety, courtesy of my soon-to-be-launched adult accessory empire?

The classy, top–secret adult accessory empire I’m opening… right next door to Flynn’s workshop. Where he can hear me. Testing the merchandise.

Every night.

Soon, the chemistry between us is impossible to ignore, even for a stubborn (fine) ass like Flynn. But as our off-limits romance sizzles, the fun and (battery-operated) games take a turn for something… real? With torn loyalties, sexy secrets, and my new business on the line, can we find a way to put the ‘love’ into enemies-to-lovers, or will this relationship run out of juice?

Find out in the new hot and hilarious rom-com from Lila Monroe!
