MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY COVER REVEAL

So funny story…normally I don’t have two cover reveals within a week of each other, but THE KNOCKED UP PLAN was done knocking around in my head and Ryder insisted that his cover had to be shared ASAP! What a hot cover it was, right? Now we change gears and I bring you MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY! It’s my new steamy sports romance and will be coming to all your favorite retailers on September 1st (iBooks users will be able to get this title two days early on Aug 30)! Thanks to Scoot Hoover for the amazing photo, and Helen Williams for another outstanding cover design! This story will be smoking up e-readers when the MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY gets into a bit of a mess after he decides to enlist his best friend’s little sister to play pretend girlfriend. *** Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns. Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long — and it has been long — because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the owner’s handsy-as-hell sister who seems dead set on winning more than a date with me at the auction. Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary. She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me the next day that we’ve got to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract.Violet says she’ll take one for the team and pretend to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport. And soon enough, I want this game with her to go into overtime. The problem is — I’ve been riding the bench for years. How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart? * MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!* ✦iBooks ✦B&N ✦Kobo  ✦Amazon  ✦Kindle Preorder alert (via Lauren’s newsletter) ✦Goodreads  Release date: September 1. Please note, MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY will release two days early on iBooks! If you’re an iBooks user, you can enjoy this sports romance on August 30!

THE KNOCKED UP PLAN

Hey there! I have exciting news to share about the book that has been known as THE WILD ONE. You guys know that I like to keep things fresh and new, and I also like to change things that aren’t quite working as well as they were in the past. That’s why THE WILD ONE is getting a new title, a new cover, AND a brand-new release date—more than TWO WEEKS earlier than originally planned! I am so excited to bring you THE KNOCKED UP PLAN on June 23 (instead of July 10). This is a brand-new standalone story! You may be wondering WHY I’m making this change. Let me tell you—when I first picked the title more than a year ago, I had no idea the direction the story would take. But as I was writing the book a few months ago, the storyline and characters—including a hero you’ve never met before who will melt your heart and panties—surprised me. This isn’t a story about a woman taming a wild playboy. This standalone romance is about all of the fun, hotness, and heartfelt emotions that come when a single woman asks her gorgeous, jaded, sworn-to-be-single-forever good friend to get the job done. What happens next when he agrees to provide the bun for her oven are lots of hot sexy times and heartfelt moments. The original title just doesn’t suit the storyline for Nicole and Ryder. I love THE KNOCKED UP PLAN because it says exactly what the story is about—it’s a fun, sexy and heartfelt story that’s full of hot baby-making sex and emotions that will bring a happy tear to your eye. The best news is that I will release THE KNOCKED UP PLAN two and a half weeks early! I’m even more delighted to let you know that I have listened to all of your requests and comments and will be releasing this book on a Friday!! Readers have repeatedly told me that Friday is their ideal release day, so you will get THE KNOCKED UP PLAN on Friday, June 23! If you preordered THE WILD ONE on iBooks, B&N, Kobo, Google Play or in paperback, don’t worry—you don’t need to do anything! You’ll get THE KNOCKED UP PLAN now with that preorder, and you’ll get it on June 23! THE KNOCKED UP PLAN is not yet on Kindle, but will be a few days before its release! So get ready to dive into THE KNOCKED UP PLAN and watch Nicole and Ryder’s story heat up—on the page and in the sheets! ✦iBooks ✦B&N ✦Kobo ✦Google Play ✦Amazon ✦Kindle Preorder alert (via Lauren’s newsletter) ✦Goodreads
