Nancy Drew she ain’t.

Since leaving school years earlier, Nicki Sosebee long ago gave up on the notion of The American Dream. She realizes early on that her college degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, but she also knows that she doesn’t want to work for minimum wage the rest of her life.

Her dream now? Learn the ropes as a novice investigative reporter.

The job’s been boring…until now, probably because her small Colorado town seems sleepy. One of Winchester’s bad boys has been locked up for arson, but Nicki soon finds there’s a whole lot more to the story. Her naïveté gets her in hot water at every turn, but her gorgeous best friend Sean Ramsey, self-employed motorcycle mechanic, helps keep her in check. Nicki's been burning a candle for her cocky, hunky friend, but nothing will come of that unrequited love, even though she's always looking for a second chance.

Meaning Sean is also distracting. And Nicki really needs to pay attention so she can write her first headline story…before her name ends up in the obituary section.

PLEASE NOTE: This book was previously published in 2011 as Got the Life.

The Nicki Sosebee Stories are an interconnected small town romance series chock full of unrequited love and steamy times and should be read in order for maximum spoiler-free enjoyment.

I’ve loved Pepper’s work since Monsters in the dark and all the in between work and let me tell you this is one of the best work she’s ever done. Dangerously in love with books

The first book in a new romantic comedy series by USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Lynx about a hockey player who was anything but nice. When he needed the help of his teammate's sister, the sweet-as-pie local veterinarian, to save his dog, he wondered if his secret crush from the past might be more than puppy love.

My teammates called me Grumpy Old Man.
I understood the grumpy part. It wasn't as if I was the life of the party. But I wasn't old. Geez, I was only thirty-two.
Despite the only partly correct nickname, there's two things you needed to know about me. The first, I loved my dog and would do anything for that crazy mutt.
The second thing, well, it involved my teammates' sister. The woman he told me to stay away from. What nobody knew was I have had a crush on her for years.
Why was I telling you that?
My dog was in an accident and the only one who could save him? You guessed it. My secret crush was the local veterinarian.
What did I do to thank her? I got her fired. Now my secret crush thought I was a grumpy jerk too.

Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.

“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. 

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own. 

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more. 

Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

Escape to paradise where love and destiny collide.

Devon Cartwright's life is on the rise, her career flourishing, until the sudden loss of her parents leaves her reeling. Just when she needs it most, her longtime friend Margarette offers her a six-month stay at an oceanfront Villa in the Dominican Republic, promising to help her get back on track.

But Margarette has more in mind than just business recovery. She's set Devon up with the enigmatic and devilishly handsome Amadeus who lives nearby. Amadeus has secretly admired Devon for years, and now he finally has a chance to win her heart. Devon, torn between the desire to escape and the allure of his intense attentions, finds herself at a crossroads.

With her friend's own troubles to navigate, Devon must decide whether to embrace this unexpected romance or retreat from it. Will Devon summon the courage to seize the love that beckons her, or will she let it slip away as she seeks solace in this tropical paradise?

Set against the lush backdrop of the Dominican Republic, Seductive Sands is a spicy romance that will keep you turning the pages.

Callum is my best friend’s big brother,
Serious, straight laced, and hot as hell.
I’ve never been a damsel in distress type,
But now that dragons are on my doorstep,
I could use a white knight.

I found success in LA, but I also found trouble.
The manager I thought believed in my music,
Just wanted to control everything about me.
I ran away…right into Callum’s arms.

He’s everything I thought I didn’t want,
Too serious and upstanding for his own good.
A single father who plays by all the rules,
But now he’s willing to break them…for me.

Callum Evans thinks he can protect me.
But the more time I spend under his roof,
The more trouble I find myself in.

Magic destroyed her family…
but embracing it is the only way they can be together.

Until Meredith Williams was brutally attacked and almost kidnapped, she had no idea that magic existed—or that she was born with it. But when her family friend and secret crush, FBI Agent Jack Knight, rescues her, she learns that her mother bound her powers for her own safety.

Jack knows it’s time to come clean about his role as a special agent in the undercover magic task force. He’s protected Meredith from afar since tragedy struck her family twenty years earlier, loving her but never being able to reveal his true feelings.

Now Meredith must accept who she is, because if she doesn’t, the spellbinding will sentence her mother to death. Yet accepting her magic when it’s caused so much heartbreak and lies isn’t just difficult for Meredith, it’s almost impossible.

But the evil that shattered their pasts is back and seeking revenge. And this time, unless Meredith can embrace her magic, it could spell destruction for all of them…

** The In Magic Series is best read in order although each book features a different couple and has its own Happily Ever After. **

In a world gone to hell, better to choose the devil you know…

The world didn't end in fire and explosions, instead after an intensifying panic of disease, food shortages, wild weather, and floundering economies, it collapsed like slow falling dominoes, until what remained of humanity battles for survival in a harsh new reality.

As a ‘Hound, Charity puts the lethal survival skills learned at an early age to use by sniffing out pivotal secrets for one of the most powerful leaders on what remains of the west coast. Her work is deceptive, deadly, and best performed solo, but when her path crosses with a member of the notorious mercenary group known as Fate’s Vultures, she’s faced with a less than stellar choice – join the sexy as hell Ruin in a mockery of teamwork or waste her valuable time shaking him loose.

As one of Fate’s Vultures, a nomadic band of ruthless arbitrators, Ruin knows well the type of carnage created by the corruption and greed of what remains of humanity, so when he rides into a brutal murder scene and discovers his friend has been taken hostage, he’ll use whatever resources he can to save him. Even if one of those resources is a damn ‘Hound who’s clearly trouble. Trouble, Ruin knows he should avoid, especially since the suspicious circumstance of Charity’s involvement leaves every cell of his body skeptical - and painfully aroused.

But Fate has other plans, especially when Ruin and Charity realize they have a common enemy. Can they set aside their distrust to achieve their mutual goal of justice and revenge?

Sometimes, it's better to stick with the devil you know...

Hotshot lawyer Rebecca Madison is dreading the annual family Thanksgiving break where the question on everyone’s lips will be ‘why are you still single?’.

Rediscover two classic romantic stories about finding love and creating family, only from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Father’s Day

Single mom Robin Masterson’s ten-year-old son, Jeff, thinks he needs a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the unfriendliest man in the neighborhood. Robin can understand why Cole’s solitary life has made him cold—her own much-loved husband died when Jeff was just a baby. Still, Jeff persists…and soon his mom and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way.

Lone Star Baby

Wade McMillen might be a minister, but he’s also a man. An unmarried and very attractive one. Is it as a man that he responds to the lovely young woman who shows up in Promise, pregnant and alone? Or as a man of God? Maybe it’s both. Amy Thornton hopes to make a new life for herself and her baby, and to do that, she needs Reverend McMillen’s help, his compassion. What she wants is the love of a man named Wade…

No man ever made her scream and beg for release. Until now, I say.
She claims I’m asking for the impossible. I will prove her wrong.

I always get what I want. Always.

She's a professional, paid to lie and seduce, but those tricks won't work on me. I don’t want her insincere moans and fake smiles.
I want the real thing—and I know how to get it.
Because I know it’s not her body that needs to be conquered–it’s her mind.

But our relationship rests on unsound footing, a contract and nothing more.
And when my actions turn reckless, the vulnerable agreement may be our undoing.

All of our best dates end up in the emergency room....

I planned the perfect proposal. Plenty of lobster, caviar, champagne and—her favorite—tiramisu. The perfect setting. The perfect woman.

The perfect everything.

My dad gave me my late mother’s engagement ring, platinum and diamonds galore. Of course, my Shannon wouldn’t care if I slid a giant hard-candy ring on her finger instead of a three-carat diamond designed to impress.

But my future mother-in-law, Marie, will pass out when she sets eyes on that rock, and that will give us two minutes of blessed silence. That woman talks more than Kim Kardashian flashes her naked backside on the internet.

I was going to make it perfect, down to the color of the tablecloth to the freshness of the roses.

And it was perfect.

Until Shannon swallowed the ring.

Written by USA Today Bestselling Authors K.L. Middleton and Cassie Alexandra

I didn't think there could be anything worse than losing my parents... until I changed schools and became the target of the A-squad - the cruel and popular a-holes of Diamond Lake High. The worst of the group? Chase Adams. An arrogant, rich, hell-raiser who gets his thrills by street racing, partying, and playing games. This year he and his crowd have it out for me.

They think they can shake me. Ruin me. Break me.
What they don't realize is that I've already been to hell and back.

If I have to return, it won't be alone.

A new adult bully romance featuring snobby, power-hungry, dangerous teens against the girl who refused to bend.

I’ve got three things to be thankful for this season. Noah, Leo & Ethan.
The lights went out and my heroes walked in.

It would take a miracle to save my shop.
Good thing I’ve got three.
One thing the three brothers have in common—I can’t get them off my mind.

A crush on one guy is fine, but all three?
Noah kissed me at lunch. Leo makes me crazy. Ethan took me out for champagne.
They say they’re not jealous, that this could work.
It seems scandalous, and too delicious to refuse.

Noah’s got a stalker. His ex won’t leave him alone.
What she doesn’t know is this,
The Foster men are mine, and I don’t give up without a fight.

From USA TODAY bestselling author Emily McIntire comes an angsty, second chance romance and the first interconnected standalone in The Sugarlake series.

Alina Carson meets Chase Adams when she’s eleven years old, after he moves in down the street carrying nothing but a chip on his shoulder and dimples in his cheeks.

Immediately she falls, loving him before she even knows what loving is. But becoming best friends with Chase’s little sister means that he’s off-limits, no matter how much their connection screams for something more.

Chase never cared much for following the rules. Abandoned by everyone who was supposed to love him, he’s broken and insecure, choosing to push others away before they have a chance to hurt him. But there’s something about the girl with golden hair, and before he can stop himself, he’s sneaking through her window, whispering his deepest secrets beneath her glow ‘n stick stars.

As time goes on and they get older, he decides to give their love a chance, no matter what anyone else thinks. But old habits die hard, and when tragedy strikes, Chase is back to doing what he does best.

Ruining everything.

Chase disappears, and years pass, leaving Alina with no choice but to pick up her broken pieces and move on. Until one day, he’s back. All grown up and taking over his family’s business.

When Alina and Chase are thrown together and forced to work in the same building, old feelings resurface, and Alina quickly realizes that Chase is on a mission, determined to right the wrongs of his past.

Starting with her.

*Beneath the Stars is the first interconnected standalone in The Sugarlake series. It contains mature and graphic content. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. Full list of TW can be found on author's website.*

As a human who hunts vampires, I risk death each night I take to the streets. Bloodsuckers are stupidly fast. I have only my wits, my practice, and my weapons.

Oh yeah, and my rage.

Vampires killed my parents before my eyes when I was young. My revenge? I'll destroy every last one of the evil bastards, starting with their king.

But only one man can help me locate the king. Achingly tall, dark, and too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Ryker is gorgeous enough to be the vamp king himself. But the devilish arch to his black eyebrow, his white, unfangy grin, and rocking the daytime are good clues that he's human.

We’ll have to work together as uneasy allies if I hope to get my final revenge on the king—only now it seems evil monsters are also after our prey, and they’ll stop at nothing to see us all dead. And why are they having so much trouble finding the king?

Each book in the Ancients series is STANDALONE:
* Night's Caress
* Night's Kiss

When my family curse awakens, the dead come calling. They want to be heard, but they drove my mother insane and I fear that same will happen to me.

I became a surgeon to save people from death, not their afterlife. My sister Laura, should have inherited the gift, but instead it went to me. When I’m framed for the murder of my patient, an amnesiac detective who died over 80 years ago comes to my aid.

I have to help Elliot too. Without his memories he can’t pass to his afterlife, but the more I come to know him, the more I want him to stay. My mother warned me, but my stupid, selfish heart didn’t listen. I’ve fallen in love with a ghost. There can be no future.

But there’s more to the dead than ghosts, angels and demons. An unknown entity has unleashed creatures on Earth who steal souls from living bodies and Elliot is the key.

To protect the world, I’ll lose my heart, my life and my soul. But whatever the cost, I’ll never lose Elliot.
