Someday You Learn (Carrington Cove #4) by Harlow James

https://amzn.to/3Rv9ByW

“I’m here to see my fiancé. I believe you know Parker, Dad…”

That sentence seems innocent enough in the right setting.

But the woman’s father? Yeah, he happens to be my boss.

The first time I met Cashlynn O’Neil, she thought she was going to die before the plane we were on ever left the ground.

So I did what any gentleman would do—I comforted her, kept her distracted, and then later that night, she ended up back in my hotel room to thank me.

But then a year later she waltzed in the Carrington Cove Animal Hospital and told her father we were engaged.

And that would have been harmless, except the last time I was engaged it left me scarred beyond repair, vowing never to entertain the idea of love again.

I can’t fall for my boss’s daughter.

I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel either.

But is it possible that someday you learn that it’s not the wrong person that will make you question what you want in life, but it’s the right one?

And is Cashlynn the right woman for me?

The Way We Collide (The Bradford Boys, #4) by Tia Louise

https://amzn.to/4iNZIs6

Football is my life. I’m not interested in marriage or babies or poopy diapers. Yet here I am, standing in front of a judge saying “I do,” with a six-month-old on my hip and an aspiring storm-chaser on my arm.

From the time I was a little boy, sleeping with my head on a football, I’ve had one goal: carrying on the Bradford-family legacy.

Our famous father trained all my older brothers and me to be star athletes just like him, but seven years later, I’m the only one still focused on the game.

Until Raven Gale storms into my life.

She’s smart, sassy, curves for days, and lightning in the sack. When I met her at my little sister’s wedding we bonded immediately over our dedication to our dreams, our determination to let nothing stop us, and our insatiable, all-night, barrier-busting chemistry.

A baby girl is a surprise neither of us expected, but Raven has a plan. We’ll have a quickie marriage to secure her trust fund, be together three months tops, then shake hands and walk away.

The only problem is with every late night I spend chatting with my wife or consummating our marriage (which we both agreed was a bad idea) or rocking my baby girl to sleep or yes, even changing poopy diapers, the stronger our bond grows.

It never rains in California, there’s no football (for me) in south Alabama, but when you collide with a cyclone, everything changes, including what you thought were your plans.

(THE WAY WE COLLIDE is a small-town, surprise baby, sports romance with a marriage of convenience, close proximity, an over-protective alpha daddy, a feisty plus-sized FMC, and a few twisters. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

Sinful Pleasure (Sinful Series, #1) by V. Morgan

https://amzn.to/3WONWF4

A man who shouldn’t be touched, a love that shouldn’t exist, and a game neither can win.

When her soon-to-be husband assigns a man to guard her, everything Allyn Delgado thought she knew unravels. Trapped in a web of forbidden temptation and dangerous desires, she finds herself unable to escape.

Maddox King is everything she was warned to avoid—dark, dangerous, and utterly irresistible. A man of few words, his very presence ignites an undeniable tension that threatens to consume them both.

In a world ruled by betrayal and deadly secrets, the one thing they cannot afford is to fall for each other. Love is a weapon, and the cost of wielding it is far too high.

Book One of the ”Sinful” series.

Unhinged Games (KINGSMAN ELITE Book 1) by KA Burton

https://amzn.to/42oHI1I

WRENLEE

There’s no way to explain the damage that’s been done to me.

No words for the lies, the deception—the way he twisted my life into his own personal game. A game I never agreed to play.

Men in masks surround me, both literally and metaphorically. They are dangerous, unforgiving men who rule this world with blood and cruelty.

And him. The one who stands above them all. The one who thinks he can break me, own me.

He’s fucking insane if he believes I’ll ever be his.

But it doesn’t matter what I want. It never did.

He punishes those who stand in his way. He bound my soul to his without permission.

Made me his captive, his obsession. My body, my mind, my very breath—he claims them as his.

And worst of all?

I don’t know if I can fight him anymore.

WINTER

I was ordered to remove them like pieces on a chessboard, set the trap, and destroy her world.

And I did.

I loved the game, needed the game. But what I never expected was to crave her—the one girl no one was supposed to touch.

The one her father would kill me for even looking at.

Now, I don’t just want to own her.

I want to consume her.

She’s fire, and I want to burn in her. She’s destruction, and I want to be ruined.

Her blood runs through my veins like a drug; her pain feeds me, and I want every single piece of her.

She says she hates me. I fucking hope she does. Because love would be so much worse.
