The Redemption Duet, an Emotional Second Chance Romance by T.K. Leigh is releasing on July 29th and September 23rd!!
She’s my sister’s best friend.
She thinks I’ve never noticed her.
She couldn’t be more wrong.
Now I just needs to prove it to her…before she walks down the aisle.
Brooklyn Tanner and Andrew Brinks have a long history…one she wants nothing more than to forget. Considering he’s her best friend’s brother and single father to two amazing girls who mean the world to her, it’s almost impossible.
When the man she’s been dating proposes, she thinks it’s exactly what she needs to finally close this chapter of her life. After all, over sixteen years have passed since she gave Andrew Brinks her heart, only for him to destroy it. Why should that matter now?
But it matters to Drew.
When he learns of her engagement, he realizes he has a decision to make. Does he finally tell Brooklyn the truth of what happened all those years ago? Or does he watch her marry another man to protect her from enduring any more pain?

Today we are celebrating the release of OFFICE MATE by Katie Ashley. This is a standalone, contemporary romance title. Check out the blurb and buy links below!
From the first time I played army as a kid, the military has been my life. As an Airborne Major, I’d led my men through two tours in Afghanistan. But when my father was elected president, I became an even greater target for the enemy—a prize for someone to take out. To ensure not only the safety of myself, but of my men, I got stripped of my cammies, shoved into an Armani suit, and placed into a management position at my father’s company. After years of trekking through the desert with an assault rifle, I was way out of my area of expertise, which my transition coordinator was more than happy to let me know on a daily, if not hourly basis. The brunette bombshell would be the death of me in more ways than one, especially since I hadn’t been with a woman since my last deployment. She’s turning out to be one of the greatest foes I’ve ever done battle with.
Isabel
In the backwoods Georgia town I was born in, you either married right out of high school or got the hell out of town. I chose the second and never looked back. After graduating top in my class, I started working for The Callahan Corporation. Fast forward five years and I was about to become the youngest female manager in the history of my department. And then all the blood, sweat, and tears I’d put into my career were for nothing when the boss’s billionaire son was handed my position on a silver platter. Not only that, I was expected to help transition him into the job that was supposed to be mine. Sure, he’s easy on the eyes with his chiseled good-looks and impossibly built physique, but I’m not going to let that distract me. I hope soldier boy is good at military strategy because sabotage is the name of the game I’ll be playing.
STEAMY! Thorn and Isabel definitely have the enemies-to-lovers thing down! From the moment they meet, he is a major “thorn” in her side, and the push/pull between these two is epic. Their antagonism, scheming and bickering all leads to sexual tension that jumps off the page And when these two finally give in, it is explosive! But will their hatred of one another make them crash and burn, or lead them to that fine line that borders love?
OfficeMate is a steamy office romance with an incredible payoff that is worth a late-night binge read! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Julie Prescott is the life of every party.
She’s loud, witty, and uses her body and pretty face to get whatever she wants.
She’s never had a problem hooking up with guys, or ditching them when they
don’t live up to her standards. Julie has a list of exes a mile long and a
reputation to match, but she’s looking for more than just a degree in college.
She’s looking for Mr. Perfect.
Ben Sutherland is the enigmatic bassist of a
popular local band. Born blind, Ben depends on his other senses to help him
understand the world around him on a deeper level. His sultry voice and musical
talent might make it impossible for him to go unnoticed on campus, but Ben
isn’t looking for fame or groupies. He’s looking to perfect his music.
Julie’s been lusting after Ben for months and
when she finally meets him at a party, her confidence is shaken when she
discovers she can’t use her physical beauty to charm him. Even though she’s
always relied on her looks, it’s her personality that wins Ben
over and he’s determined to show her that she’s more than just a pretty
face.
But falling in love is the easy part. Family
lies, a questionable reputation, and the chance of a lifetime threaten to tear
Ben and Julie apart. Can they trust the futures they’ve chosen or will they
take the biggest risk of all and listen to the sound of their own hearts?
He kissed
the corner of my mouth and up the edge of my jaw. As his mouth made its way
along my profile, his hand—the one that had pulled mine away—was slipping under
the edge of my shirt to drag the fabric up my body. “You’ve seen me. Let me see
you.”
“How?” I
asked, breathless from his touch.
“With my
hands.” Kiss. “My lips.” Kiss.“My
tongue.”’
My breath
hitched as his tongue traced the shape of my lips.
“Be my
guest,” I said, arching my body into his, trying to touch as much of him as I
could.
His mouth
curved into a smile and his brown eyes focused on me with that strange gaze of
his. I wondered what went through his mind when he looked at me. He couldn’t
see me, yet he held me in that deep gaze like he could see everything. Like he
knew me better than anyone else ever had.
Let me see you.
His
request, as much as the rest of him, set my heart racing. I wasn’t sure anyone
had truly seen me. My mom saw only what she wanted to see—a project to improve
upon, or a sidekick in her search for the man of her dreams. Everyone else, my
friends included, saw what I wanted them to see—a confident girl who knew how
to have fun and who never let the world get to her.
I had no
idea what Ben would see.
Let me see you.
I
understood what he meant. Ben only knew me from my voice, the shape of my
hands, and a few small touches and kisses. Now he was asking to see me in a
completely different way. I wasn’t worried about him touching me, I was wholly
confident in the way I looked. But something told me that if he touched me
intimately, Ben would notice more than the swell of my breasts or the dip of my
waist. His fingertips would discover the way to my heart and what made it beat.
And as much as I told myself that’s exactly what I wanted—to fall in love—it
wasn’t something I’d allowed myself to do before.
Ben’s mouth
had finished its progress up to my ear and his voice dropped low when he asked
again, “Can I see you?”
I nodded
and realizing my action was invisible to him, I pushed the word “yes” through
the apprehension that was thick in my throat.
He propped
himself up on an elbow and placed his other hand on the side of my face. His
touch was light, like the brush of feathers, as his fingers skimmed the ridge
my cheekbone, across my lips, and along the arch of my eyebrows. When his thumb
circled under my eyes, my lids dropped close and then he was caressing the tips
of my eyelashes. His touch was gentle and made me feel delicate.
He was
seeing me through touch. And that was so freaking hot.

Title: FREE TO DREAM
Author: Tracey Jerald
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Day: August 9th
About Free To Dream:
Cassidy Freeman doesn’t believe dreams come true because every night her dreams trap her in a nightmare she barely escaped as a child. She maintains rigid control over all aspects of her life, giving the illusion she’s strong and confident. Allowing very few close enough to see the brave heart buried beneath, she’s convinced she’ll carry her burdens alone.
From the minute they met, Caleb Lockwood disrupted everything by destroying her sense of order. His patience, compassion and sensuality obliterated her defenses. It’s as if he knew her from the inside out.
Helping his younger brother hire a wedding planner shouldn’t have led to this. In just a few short days, Caleb’s learned untold secrets about his family – and about the Freemans. When he demands to meet them, he doesn’t expect the pull he feels towards the petite dynamo in front of him whom life has dealt an unspeakable hand.
With Caleb, Cassidy’s lost her semblance of control. Now, she’s not sure she wants it back. Not if giving it up means having a chance at something she never imagined.
“So, about that first appointment,” Phil starts. I slowly uncross my legs and sit forward.
“Yes?”
“There’s something you should know.”
I’m going to throttle my brother. After all our years of working together, if he left out telling me any minute detail about this appointment, I’m going to lose it.
Knowing Phil, this could be anything from the appointment was supposed to be at the Lockwood company headquarters in Manhattan or their family compound in Greenwich. If Phil suddenly springs on me that he forgot to tell me the client’s expecting to have a champagne catered breakfast ready, I’m going to give up on keeping my legendary control, take my scissors and straddle him while I cut off all his hair in massive chunks. He won’t be able to stop me because he’ll be too busy choking on the extra-skinny, watered down latte he just made me pick up.
In my calmest voice, I ask, “What about it?”
Ali whispers “Uh-oh” under her breath.
Phil looks at his hands, then at the clock. Another minute ticks by. Sixteen minutes until this appointment. He looks at Ali, who just stares back at him with a mean look. He looks back down at his hands. Silence. Fifteen minutes.
From the doorway, Holly pipes in with “Did you fuck the groom or something?”
Ali starts to laugh as I gasp. Standing in the door, Corinna, Em and Holly are standing in varying states of arms crossed, waiting for Phil’s answer. Em just mean mugs Phil. I check the clock again. Fourteen minutes.
Phil sighs and looks at me with guilt on his face. That was my only warning.
“No, but Jason was engaged to him about ten years ago and broke it off to be with me. Or so the story goes.”
Chaos erupts in my office. In my disbelief, I make a few mental notes. First, Phil is prohibited from doing any further client event profile forms. I also give myself a mental reminder to review all his other forms for new clients for the rest of the week. How could he not think this information was important for me to know, especially now, having more than mere minutes before the Lockwoods come through my door?
As I sit back, listening to my siblings yell among each other, I try to regroup. I have no time to call Jason to discreetly find out what occurred.
I now have five minutes to get this under control.
Forget who fucked who or who fucked whom over. This is not how we built this business.
Phil. Might. Die.
Slowly.
Blunt force trauma caused by my planner. That’s a delicious thought.
But later.
I’ll enjoy planning it in detail, after I deal with damage control.
“All of you, get out of my office. RIGHT NOW!” I yell at my siblings. “I have exactly four minutes to figure this out. I think you all might be depraved lunatics, and how I know this and continue to work with you all on a daily basis is eluding me. This is not the impression this company will give under any circumstances, short of the building catching fire. Find your offices and have your meltdowns in there.”
Then I hear it. That fucking bitch Fate. Three goddamn minutes early. Of course.
“I happen to agree with Ms. Freeman. She and I have an appointment on behalf of my family.”
I find myself staring briefly into a set of the most gorgeous, chocolate brown eyes I have ever seen.
Check out the trailer:

Consume by Jessica Prince Publication Date: July 9th, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:Killian Everett is condescending, egotistical, and a complete jerk. When I started as the new assistant for the famous rock band Civil Corruption, I thought I’d hit the career jackpot… but I was wrong.
With his attitude, bad behavior, and stupid good looks, Killian has made my life a living hell since my very first day. We may fight constantly, but that doesn’t make me want him any less. And now I know he wants me too.
He wants to seduce me. He wants to own me. He wants to consume me.
Consume may be one of my favorite enemies-to-lovers stories, and I think Killian might be my favorite Civil Corruption band member yet! He is surly and burly, and runs so hot and cold when it comes to Gina. He’s a beast one minute, and then the next can’t get enough of her and wants to protect her from her troubles. Their banter and sparring was so funny and I really hated and loved Kill at the same time!
A tamed manwhore story can often sink, but I thought JP did a fabulous job of showing how Killian wants to become a better man for Gina. The moment when he realizes just how deep his feelings for her run, and then his confession to her, brought tears to my eyes.
I love how JP overlaps the stories in her book series, so we see the same scenes again from the perspectives of different characters, like the video shoot and Mace’s alcohol poisoning. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Mace and Lyla!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Excerpt:
“You’re just too much fun to tease, Thumbelina. Every time I talk to you, your face and neck get all… hot and red.” His thumb scraped slowly along my cheekbone, his eyes shooting down to my lips. “I noticed you don’t get this outta sorts with the other guys. Only me. Why do you think that is?” “I-I, um, don’t know what you’re talking about.” The corner of his mouth trembled like he was fighting back a smile or laugh. “That so? Then why does your soft skin feel like it’s on fire, sweetness?” God, he was so damn close. And he smelled so damn good, like whiskey and spicy, citrusy cologne. “I’m just…” Just what? my brain screamed. For the love of all that’s holy, think of words, Gina! “… hot-blooded.” Sweet, merciful mother of pearl! Had I really just said that? “That you are,” he mumbled in a low, husky voice. “That you certainly fuckin’ are.” My mouth went dry as a desert. Trying to swallow was like trying to force a wad of cotton down my throat. “Wha—uh, what’s happening here?” He took another step, coming so close everything about him overwhelmed my senses. “If you don’t know, I’m really off my game. And I’m never off my game.” After doing a crazy impression of a goldfish, I somehow managed to pick my jaw up off the floor long enough to ask, “Are you hitting on me?” With his next step, his shoes bumped into the toes of my heels, forcing me to move backward until the balcony railing dug into my behind. Killian placed his hands on either side of my hips and leaned in closer. “You can play coy all you want, but you can’t fool me. You know that’s exactly what I’m doing. And I know you want me just as bad as I want you. It’s written in red all over your cheeks. There’s a damn good reason why I’m the only one of the guys you can’t manage a full sentence around.” My heart threatened to beat through my chest, and I was pretty sure my panties were about to spontaneously combust. “What do you say we have a little fun tonight, huh? Something tells me you need it,” he whispered before the tip of his tongue peeked out and teased the skin behind my ear. “I’ve been dying to see what you wear under that little barista getup for months.” “Y-you have?” I asked, my eyes nearly bugging out of my skull. “Fuck yeah.” It came out in an almost aggressive growl as he closed the last few inches of distance between us, pushing his body flush against mine. A surprised gasp passed my lips at the feel of his thick, steely erection pressing against my belly before quickly turning into a moan when he bent his knees so his cock could brush at the apex of my thighs. What do you say we have a little fun tonight? His question kept replaying in my head. I couldn’t remember the last time I had fun. My life was all about responsibility and stress and constant worry. It had been so long since I had a bit of fun without feeling guilty for it that I barely remembered what it felt like. His proposition suddenly held more appeal than it should. Killian Everett was all kinds of wrong for me. He was a player, the very definition of a man whore. But I desperately wanted a little fun. I wanted to forget my shitty luck, and how life had a tendency to kick me even though I was already down. And I couldn’t help but think that maybe Killian was just the man to give me that.
About the Author:
Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
Kissing Jenna by Kristen Proby Series:Big Sky #2 Release Date: July 10, 2018
Synopsis: From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the newest installment in her beloved Big Sky Series…
Jenna Hull owns and manages vacation rentals in her hometown of Cunningham Falls, Montana. She’s just completed the construction of her most exhausting project, the one she’s put her heart and soul into. The inviting, opulent Snow Wolf Cottages are the first ski in/ski out tree houses in the world.
Her biggest dream is about to come true, and she can’t let anything distract her.
Christian Wolfe is Hollywood’s it actor. If the magazines are to be believed, he’s the sexiest man on earth. He’s preparing for the biggest movie role of his life, and his agent has booked him in a hot new ski lodge in Montana, tucked away from crazy fans. He can’t wait for the break.
But what Christian isn’t prepared for is Jenna. With a face that could easily co-star with him in a movie and her ambition to put her stamp on Cunningham Falls, he can’t stay away. But even more intriguing than her beauty is the fact that she’s not at all impressed with his celebrity status, only turned on by the man behind the fame.
The love they’ve found is perfect—but time is running out before real life intrudes. Can they survive with both their dreams—and hearts—intact?
Perfection! Kissing Jenna is the first book I’ve read by Kristen Proby, and it left me wondering why I haven’t read anything by her before! Christian and Jenna are wonderful characters, the story was so romantic yet infused with some very real moments, and the supporting players (several of which are from KP’s other books) are people I’d want to be friends with!
Christian is the hottest movie star around at the moment, but he needs some time to decompress — and learn how to ski — before his next film starts. He checks into the quaint Tree House resort in Montana, and is immediately taken by his landlord, Jenna. She’s fiercely independent, funny, sassy, sweet and beautiful — and doesn’t treat him like anything other than plain old Christian. Falling in love isn’t on either one of their agendas, but they embark on a love affair knowing that the relationship will have an end date. Or will it?
The bubble that Christian and Jenna are living in under the big Montana sky is burst before either of them thought it would, and they are forced to face the vast differences in their lives. Are they willing to compromise in order to be together?

Excerpt:
“Come on in. This is your home away from home for the next four weeks.” I pause in the kitchen while he wanders through the space, looking outside, then taking in the blue kitchen cabinets, the large gas fireplace, and the comfortable furniture. “In the email correspondence, you asked for extra groceries to be stocked in the kitchen, and I’ve done that for you.”
“Thanks,” he says. “Where’s the closest Starbucks?”
I lean my hip on the counter and take a sip of my now lukewarm coffee. “In town.”
“Not on the mountain?”
“There’s a coffee shop up here, yes, but it doesn’t open until tomorrow when the season officially starts. I believe that’s the case for the restaurants up here, too.”
“So, no food up here?”
I shake my head. “No, but I’ll take pity on you and make you dinner tonight, if you like.”
His eyes narrow, suspicion written all over his face. “Why would you do that?”
I lean in as if I’m about to tell him a secret and whisper loudly, “Because I’m a nice person.”
He doesn’t smile.
“You can figure it out for yourself if you want to.” I shrug and lead him to the barn door that closes the small bedroom off the living space. “This is the bedroom on this level. There’s a bathroom here, too. I’ll show you the upstairs.”
I climb the stairs, certain that his eyes are on my ass, and hear him gasp when we reach the top.
“Cool, huh?”
“Beautiful,” he murmurs again, looking up.
Meet Kristen:
Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
Six best friends. Three love stories. One big city. Countless laughs.

She lifts her glass to romance readers and writers from her home near Detroit, MI, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and pet rabbit.
