The Christmas Lily, a prequel in my Deadly Force series, tells the story of Rafe and Juliet’s first and last Christmas together as newlyweds… right before everything falls apart. It will take another 8 longs years before they’re reunited in Every Deep Desire. (Because I’m mean like that. lol) And since it’s the holiday season, this short novella is on sale for .99 until Christmas!

Is Christmas Magic worth risking everything for… including the love of those they care about most?

Juliet Capel, from a remote southern sea isle shrouded in history and secrets, has never truly belonged anywhere. But now that she’s married to the man she’s always loved, she’s determined to share her dream of the perfect Christmas with her new family and the people of the Isle of Grace who’ve never accepted her. Except her dream falls apart on Christmas Eve when a rare snowstorm hits the isle, her father disappears, and Midnight Mass is canceled.

Green Beret Rafe Montfort will do anything for his new wife, even if that means hunting down everyone on the godforsaken Isle of Grace and forcing them to attend Midnight Mass. Although he doesn’t understand why his beautiful bride needs the acceptance of the people of the isle–especially those who treated her terribly during her poverty-stricken childhood–he knows this perfect Christmas is important to her. But what he’s willing to do for her could threaten everyone’s Christmas… along with their future happiness.

Free Books for NovemberRight on Target by Bly Donovan

If Cassie were as good at picking men as she was at throwing darts, she wouldn’t be in this mess.

Cassandra Jones attracts trouble . . . or maybe she goes looking for it. But that all changes when she finds herself in over her head.

Now, she’s dodging an ex-boyfriend who refuses to let her go because she knows too much. When she falls into the arms of yet another bad boy, her defense mechanisms go up. Yet, the more time she spends with him, the more she wonders if she’s pegged him incorrectly. When her ex shows up, she’s forced to admit Shane just might be the solution to her problem.

Shane Holand is no knight in shining armor, but when he rescues a damsel in distress, something about her rouses his protective instincts. Before he knows it, he’s suited up and fighting for her honor. Or at least her safety from a dangerous ex-boyfriend. But can he convince her to trust him before the chance at more slips through his fingers?

Get it for free now!Dangerous Seal by Paige Tyler

Her plans didn’t include a Navy SEAL.

Au pair Talia Holland couldn’t deny that the handsome Navy SEAL who saved her employer’s family a few months ago is tempting enough to break all her dating rules, but what could a mousy nanny have in common with a sexy man whose job is as dangerous as a Tom Cruise movie? Besides, she’d grown up with a father who was always away because of his job.

Talia did not want to live that kind of life ever again. But when another au pair goes missing and Talia narrowly escapes an attack, she doesn’t know who else to call for help but the one guy who lives, eats, and breathes danger. Getting close to a SEAL might keep her safe, but how will she protect her heart if she falls for a man who spends more time on foreign soil than in her arms?

But best laid plans…

Petty Officer Lennox Thompson had been hoping for a phone call from the beautiful dark-haired au pair, but not a call from the police station that she’d been attacked.

Unwilling to let Talia go home alone, Lennox offers his guest bedroom for the night. However, once he hears the details, he realizes she’s involved in something more suited to a SEAL Team 5 mission than adventures in babysitting.

Someone is willing to kill to get what they want, and Talia and her young charge are in the crosshairs. It will take help from his Teammates to avoid an international incident, but when Talia and little Maria are kidnapped, Lennox will take on navy protocol, smug CIA, and deadly terrorists to save the little girl who makes him laugh and the woman who makes his heart pound.

Saddle up for small-town feels, slow-burn kisses, and a hero worth losing sleep over.

I don’t mean to challenge the law.

But when your best friend’s unraveling from trauma, and the system turns its back, you do something reckless. One fake prescription. One wrong person watching. Now I’m running.

Then I crash straight into Logan Pierce.

The gruff rancher catches me trying to steal his horse—with a busted hand and more attitude than sense. He should’ve called the cops. Instead, he hands me a plate of food, bandages my arm, and lets me stay. In his house. In his clothes.

And I’m falling for him all over again.

But the people after me don’t play fair. And when they come knocking, it won’t just be my freedom on the line.

Includes a sneak peek of Book 1 in the Buffaloberry Hill series: Wrecked for Love

Get it for free now! A Shot Worth Taking by Tracy Brody

FBI Linguist Angela Hoffman is no stranger to high-stakes missions, but her current one raises a new threat. Sent undercover to track a dangerous terrorist, Angela’s past collides with the present when her mission converges with Sergeant First Class Tony Vincenti and his elite Bad Karma Special Ops team. Scarred by past betrayals, along with threats from her past, have made Angela swear off serious relationships. She and Tony posed as lovers in the past. Now, she is forced to confront her lingering attraction to the soldier she can’t allow herself to want.

On Tony’s prior undercover op with Angela, their lives depended on selling themselves as lovers. It also meant sticking to their roles. Now, as they race against time to prevent a terror attack, Tony has more on the line than the mission. He’s determined to prove to Angela that her past won’t stand in the way of their future together.

But when Angela becomes the target of a lethal threat, trust becomes a matter of life and death. As danger close in, Angela must reveal her secrets—and her heart—to Tony, or risk losing everything. Can Tony protect the woman he loves and convince her they’re worth the ultimate gamble?

Spring Lewis knows death. As a nurse in the ICU, she has experienced more than her fair share of it. The difference is, she is acutely aware not everyone who dies stays in the afterlife.

Spring and Vince find themselves walking a path of forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance, but their rose-colored glasses blind them to the dangerous shadow lurking in the darkness. When Spring breaks her silence about the people in the water, the reaper comes calling, and it will be up to Vince to save her from certain death before time runs out.

Hotdish isn’t the only thing heating up in Ashwood.

Detective Tanner Malone strolled into Miss Mabel’s thinking this would be a typical attempted smash-and-grab, but it soon becomes apparent that someone wants more than delicious food from the savory café owner.

Bel might be sweet as pie, but is reluctant to share her client list, even if it’s vital to the case. Can Tanner protect her when she starves his investigation for details?

Floral designer Anna is desperate to break the bonds of her loving but smothering family, her boss’s empty promises, and the humiliation of a broken engagement months before the wedding. Except she has no idea how to change her life until she discovers a Caribbean sex club called Fantasy. Fantasy, a luxurious realm shrouded in secrecy, promises anonymous, consensual ecstasy and a chance for Anna to redefine herself. Amidst this newfound-yet-unsettling freedom, Anna encounters Jacob, a handsome man with secrets of his own.  

Jacob, a charismatic billionaire who owns the lavish Caribbean resort hosting Fantasy, has doubts. While his wealth and power have allowed him to create a haven for those seeking clandestine desires and untamed passion, he’s not sure if this is the right direction to take his company. Things become complicated when he meets Anna, a beautiful woman seeking to change her life, and he experiences a connection that challenges the foundation of his controlled, unforgiving world. Although Fantasy requires anonymity, Jacob knows his secrets could ruin his future with Anna. A future he didn’t know he wanted. A future he’s desperate to save, even if he has to break his own rules.

Will Anna and Jacob’s rendezvous of passion and discovery lead them on separate paths? Or will their powerful connection offer them a chance at love that transcends the bounds of Fantasy?

Yolanda Vasquez

Ten-plus years ago, I spent one glorious night with a hot stranger visiting Puerto Rico. Today, that heartthrob is a global health icon giving away millions on a reality fitness show. I really need that money to rescue my family business, am pretty sure I can win, and mostly sure he won’t remember me.

Easton Blake

I spent a decade building Fit for The World gym franchises, but after a reputation-ruining mistake, my board wants me out. Vowing to repair my image on a groundbreaking reality show is a huge gamble. One that turns dicey when the hottest hookup of my life makes the competition, and the other contestants quickly see her as a threat. Yeah. This can’t be what my board meant by reviving my public persona.

Knowing the disaster any romance would bring, Easton and Yolanda struggle to ignore their flaming-hot chemistry, but when someone schemes to drive Yolanda from the show, they join forces to stop them. Will their undeniable heat catch fire and burn down their worlds before they can eliminate the threat?
