ROMANCING THE BACHELOR is out 5/15–but read a teaser while you wait!

Romancing the Bachelor (Hamilton Family #2) is out on May 15th, and I’m so excited for you guys to read Eric and Shelby’s story! Eric is a lawyer, and Shelby is a court reporter that works with him and lives in the same building as him, and to say she doesn’t care for him is an understatement. A big one.

Eric doesn’t back down from a challenge, though, and he’s determined to show her he’s not the guy she thinks he is…one kiss at a time. Check out a teaser below, and then make sure to pre-order in the links below!

Romancing the Bachelor: Hamilton Family #2

Eric Hamilton isn’t looking for love. Hell, he isn’t even looking for a girl. He has a five-year plan, and he’s one hundred percent focused on that. But then Shelby walks into his life, and suddenly, he can’t think about anything else. Unfortunately for him, she hates his guts, and wants nothing to do with him. But he’s a man who loves a challenge.

Shelby Jefferson can’t wait to get out of the city, and back to her country roots. She moved to Atlanta for a guy who promptly left her, and the last thing she wants is to fall for another man who might make her want to stay. But Eric is nothing if not persistent, and before long she’s inside his arms, in his bed, and falling for him. Hard. But when history repeats itself, she’s left having to choose between a man and herself…again.

Excerpt

Coming soon.

THE CEO’S SEDUCTION (Hamilton Family #1) is out TODAY!!

The CEO’S SEDUCTION: Hamilton Family #1

The last thing Brett Ross wants is to be back in the same old damn small town he grew up in, but his best friend is getting married, so there’s no way he’s skipping yet another visit back home. He knows what he’s getting into, coming back here, but the one thing he didn’t count on was the way Anna Hamilton made him feel the first time he sets eyes on her…and she’s all grown up.

Anna’s always been in love with Brett, even if she’s always been his best friend’s annoying little sister to him. But when he looks at her, she doesn’t see annoyance in his eyes anymore. If anything, she sees a silent calling for her to save him from himself…and she’s just the girl to do it. All she needs is to find a way to escape her pesky, protective older brothers.

And then the game is on.

Excerpt

She met his eyes. Hesitantly, she reached out and traced the line of his jaw, touching his skin. Much like he’d wanted to do to her—only she wasn’t afraid of the consequences. And she wasn’t bound by a blood oath made as a kid.

Flexing his jaw, he pulled away her fingers. “Anna.”

Her smile drifted away, and she dropped her hand back to her lap as she took a sip of wine. “Sorry. It’s just…”

When she trailed off, he frowned. “It’s just what?”

“That’s one of the few times I’ve seen you smile tonight,” she said.

He raised his brows. “Maybe you need to look closer, then. I’ve been smiling a lot.” So damn much his fucking cheeks were aching. Who the hell smiled as much as these people? They couldn’t be for real.

“No. Not really. You’ve been smiling.” She turned back to him, her eyes crystal clear to him even in the darkness. “But not the smile I know and…love.”

He flinched at that word. He couldn’t help it. “I think you’re worrying too much about me, like usual.”

“And I think you don’t worry enough.”

He snorted. “That doesn’t make any sense. Why would someone want to worry? What good does it do?”

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant is…” She bit down hard on her lower lip and looked away from him. “Never mind. Forget it.”

“No. Tell me.”

“It’s nothing. I just worry about you because life can be lonely sometimes. You live alone in Atlanta, and you’re trying to fill the void with—” She pressed her lips together, as if she wasn’t certain she wanted to continue the thought. “I just know you, and you’re not happy right now. Not really.”

How did she know that when they’d barely spent any time together?

How could she be so damn sure about his emotions, when he didn’t think he really had any anymore? Scooting closer, he grabbed her chin and turned her face back to his. His pulse leaped at the contact. “I’ll be honest. Sometimes I’m scared of what you might see when you look at me, because you never see what everyone else does.”

“I see you.” Her eyes were all wide, and her lips were parted. “The real you, not the one you want everyone to see. And you’re lonely, even if you won’t admit it.”

Goddamn.

She had him all figured out, didn’t she?

He trailed his pointer finger over the curve of her cheek. She drew in a shaky breath, her eyelids drifting shut. It would be so easy to close the distance between them. To brush a soft kiss against her lips. So easy and yet…

So wrong.

Relationships in the office are forbidden. So no one is more surprised than Maggie when she pretends to be his fiancée to save him during a difficult situation. Not only has she put her job on the line, but the future of the company.

Billionaire Benjamin Gale III doesn’t believe in love or romance, but the look on his mother’s face when Maggie tells her that she’s his fiancée is worth millions. Instead of firing her for her insubordination, he goes along with the ruse. In his arms-and in his bed-she’d be everything he could ever want…which is why he can’t have her.

But if he doesn’t let her go, they’ll lose everything…

Some lines are meant to be crossed…

One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham from ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he’s still not over it. So when the cute little strawberry blonde at the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can’t resist the temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she’s blown his mind…and then skipped out the next morning.

Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite that far, but oh, it was worth it. After being far too good for way too long, she was ready to be bad. Except that there’s that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself—Holt just spent the night doing naughty things…with his best friend’s little sister.

One night isn’t nearly enough. But with his friendship on the line, how far will Holt go in order to claim what’s his?
