Add to your Goodreads TBR > https://bit.ly/32WrTzy

It should have been easy. Stay away from her boss’ hot brother.

Museum curator Haven McKinney has sworn off men. All of them. Totally. She’s recently escaped a bad ex and started a new life for herself in San Francisco. She loves her job at the Hutton Museum, likes her new boss, and has made best friends with his feisty sister. Haven’s also desperately trying not to notice their brother: hotshot investigator Rhys Norcross. And she’s really trying not to notice his muscular body, sexy tattoos, and charming smile.

Nope, Rhys is off limits.

Investigator Rhys Norcross is good at finding his targets. After leaving an elite military team, he thrives on his job at his brother’s security firm, Norcross Security. He’s had his eye on smart, sexy Haven for a while, but the pretty curator with her eyes full of secrets is proving far harder to chase down than he anticipated.

Luckily, Rhys never, ever gives up.

When thieves target the museum and steal a multi-million-dollar painting in a daring theft, Haven finds herself right in the middle of a deadly situation. With the painting gone and Haven in danger, Rhys vows to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and Haven finds herself risking the one thing she was trying so hard to protect—her heart.

Note to readers: This is a sexy, fast-paced romance with a heroine in danger who’s sworn off men (and gets kidnapped…a lot) and a hot, tattooed former military hero (who looks fine in a suit and rolls his sleeves up showing off his ink).

Watch and See Blast

LOOKING FOR GOOD READ? GRAB THIS BOOK

Have you read this voyeuristic, suspenseful standalone WATCH & SEE by @jiffykatewrites?

Life hasn’t been kind to Harper Evans.

The small-town gossip about her dead dad and drug-addicted mother has taken its toll. But when her mother is admitted to a long-term rehab facility a few hours away, Harper sees her chance for a fresh start. 

A shoebox apartment above a Chinese restaurant isn’t exactly the escape she dreamed of, but she makes it work. With limited funds and social life, she views her new city through a dusty old pair of binoculars.

There’s no harm in looking.

Just a peek and I’ll stop.

Harper finds her new pastime quickly turning into a full-fledged obsession. She begins falling for a man she doesn’t know—has never met—as she watches him have sex through the window of his apartment. Daydreaming about what it would be like if she were one of his conquests.

We all reach a point when watching isn't enough—when we can no longer just be a spectator in our own life. That's when it's supposed to get good, right? When we take control and go after what we want. But what happens when it all blows up in our face and we’re left with less than nothing?

What then?

Dear Diary,
Just messin’ with you. I don’t have time for that crap, but here’s my story.

I was finally coming clean to my best friend about how this divorced, single mom attempted to get back in the dating game...and wound up with an old flame.

Enough stalling, it was time to spill it ... ALL

Foster Montgomery was my best friend's hot younger brother. Back in high school, we used to have a thing. And by “thing,” I mean we used to mess around--behind closed doors, because apparently, that was all I was good for. 

Finally, many years later, I had the chance to get my revenge. If wet dreams, steamy make-out sessions on my couch, and “naked yoga” in my living room counted as revenge, then I nailed it! 

He was still keeping secrets, but this time, I planned to make it known exactly what he’d done behind those closed doors.

Kamryn Leigh James
XOXO

Last Chance Beach and take a break from men. She’ll concentrate on her dream, opening a giftshop. Or so she’d promised herself until the morning her gaze locks with the handsome Sean Thomas-Michael’s sea-blue eyes.

Can't Buy Me Love by Hannah Rowan

Things aren't always what they seem.

Excerpt:

His brows shot up with interest. His lips parted slightly. Blue eyes that matched the sea drew

Frankie to him and caused a sensation of dizziness to dance in her head. She was aware she was staring, but she couldn’t stop.

The squawk of a bird broke through the scrape of forks against dishes and the murmur of

voices. The noises faded away. Even the thud of her heart seemed to pause when he nodded to her.

“Attention, everyone.” A server standing nearby with a carafe of coffee interrupted Frankie’s

moment. “MacDyver has been sighted.”

“Quick the food.” Tikki covered their meals with napkins.

Silverware clinked as diners dropped their utensils and popped up their overhead covers–– their futile attempt at protection. As Frankie shoved her chair back to open their umbrella, she peeked at the man.

He picked up his toast and held it for a second. The seagull struck. With one swoop MacDyver grabbed the bread from his fingertips. A hush settled over the throng, and the bird soared heavenward with a snide cackle out the side of his beak and disappeared.

All gazes fell on the stranger MacDyver had robbed as he rose to his six-foot-plus height.

Author interview:

My Path to Published Author. WORK

I wrote my first romance before self-publishing was a wide option. I spent every

afternoon after the job, writing on my used IBM and then saving to my floppy disk. One day I

found a notice about a contest for romance authors in the RWA magazine. You only had to

submit twenty pages. No synopsis required.

This would be perfect, I thought. I’d get feedback and find out how great my masterpiece

was. So I entered. I don’t remember how long I waited for my results to arrive in the mail. I’d

say at least three months. In the meantime, I kept an eye on the mailbox. Finally, the manila

envelope with my evaluation sheet arrived. I tore the flap open. The judges included a list of the

submission titles and where they ranked according to your scores. Well, mine scored near the

bottom. I read the notes. Unfortunately, they all made sense.

What to do now? Once I recovered from the big disappointment, I shelved the story idea.

I wanted a fresh start. As part of the new improved project, I stopped writing my colonial novel

which I learned was a dead market. I moved to pirates.

I loved reading these stories and researching their ships, their exploits were as

entertaining for me. At the same time, I was helping students at school write Women in History

papers. I happened upon Maria Mitchell, the first woman astronomer. Instantly I knew my

heroine would be an astronomer, assisting her father chart courses for the sailors. But she also

worked in the town library. Books were her second love. In my exploration of pirates, I came

across an article about a sea captain who’d been captured by buccaneers and forced to sail and

take part in their raids. In one attack he was able to slip over the side and swim to shore.

However, his life was never the same. People accused him of treason. At a trial, he was found

innocent, but public opinion believed otherwise. Society treated him as guilty until his death.

This was my hero. I began writing Miss McNeal’s Pirate. Every evening, I tapped away

on my old computer and saved my daily accomplishments. I decided to get a critique from a

fellow writer. This was useful. No, my manuscript wasn’t ready for submission, but I was off to

a good start. Okay, I’d take that feedback as a positive. I strengthened weak points. Listened to

speakers at my monthly RWA chapter. I rewrote, studied other romances and movie plots, etc.

etc.

Then I got brave. I submitted to a contest. I don’t honestly remember where I scored

except mine wasn’t at the low end. And the comments were positive! One published judge noted

I should shine this up and submit. Another told me to make the minor suggested revisions and

send to a publisher.

Well, I did. Kensington had started a line called Precious Gems. They were looking for

authors! And the rest is history. I still keep the poster of Miss McNeal’s Pirate in the kitchen

where I see cover every day.

Fast-forward to now. I’m on a different adventure. I’m part of the box set of Last Chance

Beach that contains 14 fabulous short stories. Don’t miss out.

Review:

This was a quick easy read. I finished it in one sitting. It was good but not something I'd pick up again. It is instant love, so if that's something you like, I recommend checking it out.

Ralph
Being traded to Dallas was a dream come true. I had everything I wanted, my game had never been better, and my wife was due to have our baby any day now.
What could go wrong?
Everything.
I was now raising our baby on my own. After hockey practice and games, I didn't have time to sleep, let alone make sure my social media was up to par.
I never thought I'd get a second chance at love.

Candace
When my hotshot brother was drafted in the NHL, he didn't have time to do his social media, so I took over for him. Little did I know it would become my career.
My plate was full with over fifty NHL players, and I wasn't taking on any new clients.
Yet when he showed up on my doorstep with the cutest little girl in the whole world, I couldn't say no.
I was just helping, but it turned into more than that. He's the man I've been waiting for.
All it takes is one touch, one night, one chance, and only one kiss.
