At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown's Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.

Lucas
Expected publication: November 1st 2016
In a sprint, every millisecond counts. When you’re waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons.
High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don’t kill each other.
His saving grace? Lois “Laney” Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven.
A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage.
It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love.
Eight life-changing seconds.
It’s also the exact length of time it took to lose her.
Running Mate
by Katie Ashley
Expected publication: November 8th 2016
BarrettThe name’s Barrett Callahan. Yeah, that Barrett Callahan—the one the press dubbed “Bare” after those naked sexting pictures surfaced. At twenty-five, I was armed with an MBA from Harvard, an executive position at my father’s Fortune 500 company, a penthouse, and a different piece of delectable eye candy in my bed every weekend. I had a life most men dreamed of. But then my father decided to run for president, and my playboy lifestyle became a liability to his campaign that was built on family values. My “makeover” comes in the form of a fake fiancée who I don't even get to choose--one who is an uptight, choirgirl acting priss but also sexy-as-hell.
Addison
My latest relationship had gone down in flames, and I was drowning in a sea of student loans when in true Godfather status, James Callahan made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Seven figures for seven months on the campaign trail pretending to be the adoring fiancée of his son, Barrett. As soon as he won the election, our engagement would be dissolved amicably for the press, I was free to ride off into the sunset a million dollars richer, and because of the NDA, no one would be the wiser. Sure, I’d never met the guy, but I’d been a theater nerd in high school. I could pull off any role from Lady Macbeth to Maria Von Trapp. But that was before I met my fake fiancé—the infuriating, self-absorbed, egotistical, drop-dead-sexy King of the Manwhores.
The race will be a fight to the death finish, and that’s not even the actual campaign.

prose women's fiction readers have come to expect, from New York Times
& USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Melissa Foster.

RT Book Reviews

Truman's hard, he's secretive, and he's trying to save a brother who's even more broken than he is. He's never needed help in his life, and when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he's less than accepting. But Gemma has a way of slithering into people's lives and eventually she pierces through his ironclad heart. When Truman's dark past collides with his future, his loyalties will be tested, and he'll be faced with his toughest decision yet.
Managed
Expected publication: November 14th 2016
It started off as a battle of wits. Me: the ordinary girl with a big mouth against Him: the sexy bastard with a big...ego.I thought I’d hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to first class on my flight to London.
That is until HE sat next to me. Gabriel Scott: handsome as sin, cold as ice. Nothing and no one gets to him. Ever. He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me.
I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight. I didn’t expect to like him. I didn’t expect to want him. But the biggest surprise? He wants me too. Only in a way I didn’t see coming.
If I accept his proposal, I leave myself open to falling for the one man I can’t manage. But I’m tempted to say yes. Because the real man beneath those perfect suits and that cool façade just might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I just might be the only one who can melt the ice around his heart.
Let the battle begin…
Consolation Prize
Expected publication: November 21st 2016
Don't you just hate it when someone destroys all your carefully made plans?I mean, I had goals: college to graduate in one semester, a future I was working hard to reach, and an image of myself I wanted the world to see. My life was stacked into these precisely placed blocks. But then Colton Gamble came along and knocked them all askew.
I hated how he messed everything up, how he could hog all my attention whenever he was around, how he made my pulse quicken--but only because he ticked me off...not because I was attracted to him. Oh! And I hated how he knew how attractive he was too, the shallow, full of himself, doesn't take no for an answer, too-flirty, too cocky, extremely irritating jerk.
The boy had all the qualities that turned me off. Or so I thought.
One night he wasn't quite the brainless, over-confident jerk I usually took him for.
One night, he took care of me when I was at my lowest. He opened up to me and made me open up to him.
Now I'm learning maybe he's not what I first thought he was. And maybe I'M not what I first thought I was. Maybe it’s okay to rearrange a couple of my perfectly set blocks. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll stop worrying about what I’m afraid everyone else will think and finally reach for something I really want. It’s possible some of my plans need to be destroyed, and Colton Gamble is exactly the kind of mess I need in my life.
What do you think? Should I give him a try?
Desperately seeking your advice,
Julianna Radcliffe

Out of Bounds
Expected publication: November 22nd 2016
My career is finally looking up, and I'm leading a new pro team down the field every Sunday. No way will I mess with that. But when I meet the most stunning and captivating woman I've ever seen, I tell myself one night will have to be enough.
But it's not. And now I can't get her out of my mind. Even when I'm playing. Even when I need to focus. Even when I’m on the hottest streak of my life.
And it turns out, she's not just some random woman I met. She works for the team. My team.
***
I only have one goal this season--do my part as the team's lawyer to keep them out of trouble. Help rebuild their reputation on and off the field. There's no room for error and certainly no room for a secret tryst with a player . . . even if he's the quarterback.
Right?
Words I Couldn't Say
Expected publication: November 22nd 2016
An Explosive Series Spin-OffYou know the old adage “if you love something, set it free?"
It's the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
The dumbest thing I've ever done.
I loved her. I lost her. Hell, I let her go. And then spent five miserable years without her.
To cope with the loss, I put pen to paper and wrote her a love story, knowing when she was ready she’d hear the words I couldn’t say all those years ago.
Turned out, not only would she hear them, but when Hollywood came calling, I made sure she got the lead role. After all, no one else could portray the character whom she’d inspired. Now she's within arms' reach and finally, she'll know the truth in my heart.
Because that other cliché, “Actions speak louder than words?”
I’m going to prove it.
My words may have brought Ava Banks back into my life; I have to be enough to make her stay.

SYNOPSIS
Life never goes as planned. Jaime Summer learned that lesson the hard way when her fiancé wreaked havoc on her carefully constructed life plan. Now, Jaime’s back in her hometown, working at her sister’s flower shop and living with her family once again, swearing off dating and men for the rest of her life. That is, until Ryan Elson walks through the door.
Ryan has been in Jupiter Bay for a year now, and has worked hard to make this new town his home.

GIVEAWAY
This was my kinda romance novel. It was one of
those reads that kind of feels like a warm bath. It was sweet and funny and the
characters were engaging but it took me a bit to get into it and it felt a
little slow at times.
I absolutely adore the sisters and the
interaction between them all and especially the grandparents was awesome. I think
honestly without them I might have given up on this book but they kept me
reading long enough for me to get hooked on the characters and their story.
Ryan was super sweet but we kinda got off on the
wrong foot with him acting like a bit of a douche and the winking was a bit
much. But then he was so sweet and fell so hard that I forgot I was worried
about his possibly having something in his eye and really loved him.
Jaime I honestly don’t feel much for. She
annoyed me a tiny bit at times then others she was relatable but over all I
just feel meh about her.
I felt like the drama came too late and was
entirely brushed over. I really would have liked to see that played out
differently. Now all that said I did end up enjoying the story and I do plan to
read the next book in the series because I thoroughly enjoyed the family and
did get quite a bit of entertainment from them. Fingers crossed we get more of
the horny grandparents to have me in fits of laughter.

SYNOPSIS:
She's holding out for a happy ever after.Annie
I know where to find my happily ever after—between the pages of a romance novel. It’s why I sell books, why I blog about them, and why I’ll never get disappointed by love.
So what if my brother’s best friend from high school is now a bestselling author? Or that he just blew back into town on a Harley, filling out a pair of jeans like he never did before? Or that he’s agreed to do a signing at my bookstore on such short notice? Because despite all his adoring female fans, I kind of hated his book.
Wes
The last time I saw Annie Denning, she was a senior in high school, three years older than me and way out of my league.
Now I’m her last-minute date to a wedding, and what started as a night of pure fun has turned into something more real than either of us anticipated.
Annie is my muse. When I’m with her, my writer’s block fades away, and the words finally flow.
The only problem? She wants the fairy tale—her very own happily ever after—and anyone who’s read my book knows the truth. I just don’t believe they exist.
EXCERPT
She took a step closer,
and he inhaled the warm scent of vanilla and, maybe, a hint of cinnamon? He’d
been too caught up in the moment to notice before. But now he began to feel
drunk, wondering if one glass of wine could knock him on his ass. But he knew
it couldn’t have. It was this woman.
He swallowed hard, his
throat suddenly dry.
“Jesus you smell good,
Annie.”
She leaned closer.
Because apparently she was trying to kill him.
“What would the line
be—if you wrote it in your book? How would you describe my scent?”
Uh, he could describe
the agony of the erection straining against his pants, but somehow he thought
she wouldn’t appreciate that.
Christ. Words. She wanted
words, now? After he told her he was blocked? But he had to prove his plan
would work, that they could use this evening—and each other—to their advantage
and neither of them be worse for the wear.
Fine. Words. The girl
wanted words, so he would deliver. “He grew drunk,” Wes said. “Drunk on the
nearness of her, on the warm, sweet scent of home. Because that’s what she was
to him. She was home. And until he kissed her, he hadn’t known what that
meant. Home wasn’t a place. It was
a state of mind. It was her,
the intoxicating scent of her skin, and his lips pressed against it.”
He hadn’t realized until
he spoke the last of it that his eyes were closed. Maybe hers were, too,
because she wasn’t saying anything. All he heard was her sharp, shallow
breaths. All he felt was his forehead pressed to hers.
How the hell did they
get here?
“I think your writer’s
block might be cured,” she whispered. “That was way more romantic than an ice
sculpture.”
Wes laughed softly. “I
don’t write romance,” he said.
“Whatever,” she
countered, but she was still smiling.
“How about your ex
situation? That cured yet, or do we want to give them more of a show?”
She cleared her throat.
“I think the jury’s still out.”
Okay. They were on the
same page—so to speak. He wanted this night, whatever ended up happening, and
Annie seemed on the verge of jumping off this cliff with him.
He straightened and took
a step back so his eyes could find hers. She chewed her bottom lip.
“One night, Annie.
Whatever you want out of this evening, I’m your guy. And when we go home
tonight—”
“Tomorrow,” she said,
and Wes’s brows drew together. “When we go home—tomorrow…”
