Maybe a party cruise wasn't the worst idea after all...
Kissing Kendall, an all-new, sexy standalone romance in the Gone Wild Series from New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert, is out now!
All Kendall Barnes wants is a nice relaxing cruise to reconnect with her friends from college. Instead, they're mistakenly booked on a singles' cruise. Despite this series of unfortunate events, Kendall is determined to follow through on her original plan... At least until she meets a gorgeous stranger who might just be enough to tempt her into breaking all her rules.
Alex Jeffries is on his first vacation in over ten years, and he hates every second of it. He can't stop thinking about what could be going wrong with the bar he owns back home, at least until he meets Kendall and forgets about everything but kissing her. Maybe a party cruise wasn't the worst idea after all...
Kendall and Alex embark on a sexy fling, but it only takes a few days for the truth to sink in. The mind-blowing chemistry between them is only getting stronger, and despite the expiration date they both agreed on, they can't help wondering if this vacation fling can go the distance...
Or are they destined to crash and burn when they come back to reality?

Synopsis:
Sometimes happily ever after isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…
Theo Fitzcharles thought he’d put the worst behind him when he became King of Thalania and named his two lovers, Meg Sanders and Galen Mikos, as his Consorts. Unfortunately, the realities of running a country have worn on all of them, individually and as a triad. Theo has every intention of making things right, but first he has to deal with an old enemy who’s closer than anyone could have dreamed.
Meg Sanders never wanted to be a princess. Now that she’s one of two Consorts to the King of Thalania, she knows why—it’s work. Every time she turns around, she’s misstepping and struggling not to screw up the careful political maneuvering required for her new position. But her struggles with the new position are the least of her worries she’s attacked in the palace.
Theo, Galen, and Meg must race to identify her attacker and neutralize them before they can make another attempt to hurt her. There’s plenty of people who want Meg out of the palace—and at least one isn’t picky about whether she’s breathing or not when she goes.

Theirs Ever After Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Katee Robert
Theo opened his eyes to see his best friend, his lover, his Consort, standing over him. Galen looked as tired and worn out as Theo felt, though where Theo had lost weight, Galen had gained muscle. No telling where he found the time to work out, but the evidence was in the way his T-shirt stretched tight across his shoulders and chest and the clear definition in his legs. He couldn’t even appreciate the new changes for fear of what they indicated. Are we going to war, Galen?
Some days it certainly felt like it.
He finished up his set slowly, drawing in the burning of his muscles as he strained against the weight of the bench press. In this moment, he was perfectly present. It wouldn’t last. It never lasted. But he had right now, and it would have to be able to shore him up for the coming conversation.
Theo wiped his face with his towel and stood. “Okay, I’m done. What’s wrong?”
“Would you like a list?”
Fuck, something was wrong. Theo glanced at the door to the gym, instinctively looking for the audience they had for most of their waking hours. The door remained closed, which didn’t mean no one was listening, but it lessened the likelihood. Even with the cameras blinking in the corners of the room, they were as close to alone as they were likely to get. “Galen, talk to me.”
“Not tonight. Not like this.” Galen started for the door. “Meg had a hard day, Theo. We all did.” Subtle comment, less subtle bite. If he concentrated, Theo could almost see things unraveling around him. He’d known life wouldn’t be simple once he retook the throne, but the freedom of exile had gone to his head and he’d forgotten just how easy it could be to drown in this world.
It sure as hell seemed like all three of them were a few short breaths from doing exactly that.
Drowning.
And he didn’t know how to fix it.
This wasn’t the time or place to get into it. Darkness had fallen while Theo was preoccupied, and most of the palace staff had gone home. It didn’t leave the halls empty—they were never empty—but there were fewer people to bow and murmur greetings as he and Galen stalked toward their private suite. Theo managed to nod in response, but he schooled his expression to discourage actual conversation. In his current mood, he couldn’t guarantee what he’d say if someone tried to stop him now.
They slammed into their suite and Theo grabbed Galen’s arm before he had a chance to leave the sitting room. “What’s going on?”
“No. Fuck that. You don’t get to play the concerned partner now.” Galen shot a look toward the main rooms and lowered his voice. “You got what you wanted, Theo. You got your cake and you’re eating it, too. The first King of Thalania in history to name two Consorts. Congratu-fucking-lations.”
Theo rocked back on his heels. This conversation had been a long time in coming, and even knowing it bore down on him with all the subtly of a runaway train, he still wasn’t prepared. “You knew—”
“No. I don’t need to hear that I went into this with eyes wide open. I know I fucking did.” Galen dragged a hand over his face. “Meg has three months before school starts up again. She’s fucking miserable, Theo. She puts on a brave face for you, but underneath she’s messed up.”
And what about you?
Theo didn’t voice the words lodged in his throat. He’d learned a long time ago not to ask questions he might not want answers to, and this numbered among them. He didn’t point out that he’d given both Galen and Meg a chance to leave six months ago, and he sure as hell didn’t point out that they could leave now if they were so inclined. He might be an ass sometimes, but not about this.
Not when they’d already sacrificed so much.
He couldn’t fix this. Not yet. Things would calm down once he got the Families in line and brought his siblings around. Camilla was happy to see him, of course. Even with their father’s death, his baby sister had been kept from the worst of the political bullshit. At sixteen, she was just starting to dip her toes into the water, and he’d do whatever it took to ensure she remained safe while she figured out her own path.
Their brother was another story altogether. For just under a year, Edward had thought he’d be king. Having that taken away, rightfully or no, created a divide between them that Theo didn’t know how to fix. Especially when Edward announced his intentions to attend Oxford for university, and left within weeks of Theo’s coronation. There were a handful of nobles who’d jump at the chance to use that separation for their own ambitions, and he needed to fix it before things got worse.
But not tonight.
Tonight, he had to fix this.
Theo snagged the back of Galen’s neck. His friend resisted for a second, but then he exhaled harshly and let Theo pull him closer until their foreheads pressed together. Tell me what you need. Theo closed his eyes. Galen didn’t have to tell him. He knew what Galen needed—what they all needed. “Where is she?”
“Tub.”
Good. She’d be nice and relaxed. He tightened his grip on Galen’s neck. “The food?”
“An hour.”
Good boy. Sex wouldn’t solve any of the undercurrents in the long term, but it would help release the tension that had been growing with every passing day. Trapping the two people he loved was never part of the plan, but Theo couldn’t shake the feeling that was exactly what he’d done. He released Galen and stepped back. “Strip.”
Theo turned and walked deeper into the room without bothering to make sure Galen obeyed, knowing it would piss his friend off, and knowing that anger was exactly what he needed to purge the festering feeling beneath. At least for tonight. Tomorrow, they would talk and further clear the air. Open communication was the only way this would work, and they hadn’t spent enough time alone together to get to the heart of things in the last couple weeks.
His fault. He knew that well enough.
He’d fix it. He’d find a way to fix all of it.
Theo pulled off his shirt and tossed it over the back of the desk chair. He kicked off his shoes and then walked into the bathroom. Steam fogged the mirrors and Meg had turned off all the lights, leaving only the trio of thick candles lit on the half wall between the tub and the sinks. It gave the room a dark, intimate feeling that he approved of. He stalked to the edge of the tub and took a seat near her head. She had her eyes closed and the water licked at her breasts as if determined to offer him teasing glimpses.
“Thought you weren’t working late tonight.”
“I wasn’t planning on it. Things didn’t go well with Lord Huxley, and I didn’t want to come back here with that frustration riding so close to the surface. I needed some time to cool off.” He smoothed a hand over her hair, tangling his fingers in the dark strands. She looked good. The decadent meals the staff insisted on putting together had filled out her curves, and he couldn’t count her ribs the way he’d been able to when they first met. Theo kept stroking her hair and used his free hand to urge her onto her stomach. The new position freed him up to work at the knots of tension lining her shoulders and upper back. Tension that was his fault. “Let me take care of you tonight, princess.” Galen walked naked into the bathroom and leaned against the counter, crossing his arms over his chest. Theo met his gaze steadily. “Let me take care of both of you.”

Synopsis
For two FBI agents
with a past, love becomes a matter of life and death in the new Hidden Sins
novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Katee Robert.
Maggie Gaines used to
be an FBI agent—top of her class and one of the bright, up-and-coming
stars—until she spectacularly fell apart during her first high-profile case.
That was eight years ago. Now she’s a ranger at Glacier National Park, and
she’s found some measure of peace. But when the body of a murdered woman is
discovered, she must finally put the past behind her and work with the one man
she thought she’d never see again.
For months, Vic
Sutherland has been hunting a killer who’s been targeting unsuspecting hikers
in national parks—and now the predator has come to Glacier. Vic knows the case
will bring him face-to-face with his former partner, yet nothing can prepare
him for seeing Maggie again after all these years, or for the memories of
passion it stirs in both of them.
As
the investigation brings them closer together—and closer to the killer—Maggie
and Vic fear they have only each other to trust. But even that might not be
enough to make it out of Glacier alive.

Grounds Excerpt

Katee Robert
Vic’s gaze fell on his phone. Maggie’s number was now in the
contacts folder. It would be easy to dial it, just to check on her.
Except it was late, and she hadn’t asked for him to babysit her.
He’d gone years without seeing her, and now that they were in the
same general area, it was like they were two magnets that could barely resist
the pull. He wanted to hear her voice, to sit her down and share a meal that
wasn’t military issue, to actually talk.
His phone rang, which startled him so much he almost dropped it.
Vic stared at the screen for several precious seconds, wondering if he was more
tired than he’d thought, because it sure as fuck looked like Maggie was calling
him. “Sutherland.”
“It’s me.”
He sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly painfully aware that he
wore only a towel. It shouldn’t matter. She couldn’t see him, didn’t know what
he was or wasn’t wearing, but it did matter. “Hey, Maggie.”
“I have to apologize.” He could almost feel her soft sigh. “You
were right, and I was acting like a stubborn kid. This whole thing—the murders
in the park and having to deal with my past and you—has got me all twisted up.”
Maybe it was the events of the last two days, but he was so
goddamn tired of doing the noble thing. He never put himself or his personal
shit before a case. Not once.
He’d never wanted to before.
“I twist you up?”
“As if you didn’t know. I had something of a crush on you when we
were partners—which I’m sure you knew after I threw myself at you—and
apparently I didn’t outgrow it as much as I thought.”
The dimness of the room evoked an intimacy he didn’t deserve. Was
Maggie sitting in her bedroom in low light, too? He liked the picture that
made. “You have nothing to apologize for.”
“I’ve been making an ass of myself since you stepped off that
helicopter.” She shifted, the sound painfully loud in the near silence. “And
I’m doing it again, apparently. My whole point was that I’m sorry and I’ll be
professional from now on. You don’t have to worry about any breakdowns or hissy
fits.”
If he was smart, he’d take her apology for what it was and allow
it to move them back to solid ground. There were lives on the line and a
condensed timeline that was only going to get more condensed with each body
that popped up.
But when Vic spoke, he didn’t move them back to firm ground. He
threw them right over the edge of the cliff. “Fuck being professional. I want
you, Maggie. Not the former FBI agent. Not the park ranger. I want you.”
Praise
for The Hidden Sins Series
“…a captivating read, made all the more rewarding
when good triumphs.” —Washington Post
“Robert
shows off her impressive versatility in this fast-paced and inventive new
Hidden Sins series. The small-town setting is a masterful blend of quaint and
oppressive, which ratchets the menace and thrill factor. The protagonists carry
the full weight of their pasts with them, making their growing relationship as
compelling as the mystery element in The Devil’s Daughter. With
plenty of twists and betrayals, this is a book that is sure to earn Robert a
wealth of new fans.” —RT Book Reviews

Well I think
it’s official, Katee Roberts has nailed romantic suspense. I was on the edge of
my seat for the whole book. Every time I thought I had it all figured out I was
so very wrong. And I stayed wrong until the end. The scene setting was awesome
and I loved the added mystery of not just trying to figure out who the killer
was but also when, where and who they were going to strike next. And every time
they did I still was shocked and trying to re-evaluate who it could possibly be
and why.
As with all
of Katee Roberts books the romance was perfect. I loved that there was history
between Maggie and Vic however they didn’t have any major drama over it or
stupid misunderstandings. They just went about everything like adults and acted
in a way that just added to the respect I had for them both from the very
beginning.
The sexual
tension was so well balanced with the emotions of the story and as can always
be expected from Katee Roberts the sex scenes were smoking hot. I have been so
impressed with this series and I can’t wait to see it continue.

Synopsis
Jake Davis had it all in
high school—a scholarship to his college of choice, a promising football
career, and the gorgeous prom queen for a girlfriend. And then he lost it all
when he was injured right after graduation. Ten years later, he’s mostly made
his peace with that, and now runs a company that provides women with dates for
special events. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the ex who left him
in the dust needs a fake boyfriend for their high school reunion…
Jessica Jackson used to be the mean girl to end all mean girls.
But life didn’t turn out like she’d thought it would, and now she’s
twenty-eight, single, and works as an insurance agent to A-listers instead of
being the A-lister like she’d always dreamed. She can’t go back to her hometown
and admit just how thoroughly she’s failed, so she lets her friends set her up
with a fake date for the reunion.
The second Jessica realizes that her fake date is Jake, she
tries to call the whole thing off. The problem is the chemistry between them is
even hotter now than it was when they were teenagers. Against her better
judgment she lets herself get drawn into Jake’s arms again—and into his bed.
But time doesn’t heal all wounds—sometimes, it actually makes them worse—and if
Jessica and Jake can’t learn to forgive each other, their second chance might
not last the weekend.

Excerpt from PROM QUEEN
Copyright © 2017 Katee Robert
Taking a fortifying breath that did nothing to
fortify, she scrolled through her texts to find the number that had shown up
last night. The words were short and to the point.
I’ll pick you up at the airport.
Nothing there to tell what kind of man she’d
ended up with, and she’d been too cowardly to text back anything other than a
generic agreement. Now there was nothing left to stall with. Jessica hitched
her purse higher up on her shoulder and headed through security. The big red
line tiled into the floor was a point of no return in so many ways. Why did I
think this was a good idea?
Her mama didn’t raise a coward, though, so she
lifted her chin and marched forward. No matter who this guy was, she’d faced
down worse. She’d been worse. It couldn’t be more horrifying than the Miss
Texas Teen USA pageant of 2005 where that little brat Misty Brennan cut holes
into her dress and she didn’t realize it until she was out on stage and had her
pink polka dot bra showing to the audience and God. Jessica had powered through
that and walked out with second place, and she’d power through this, too.
She joined the people from multiple flights
crowded around the baggage claim, her body practically vibrating from nerves.
The scent of too many people in too little space assaulted her, but she was
more focused on the faces she didn’t recognize from the plane. Too many, all
filtered in with the travelers—there was no way she’d be able to pick him out
of the crowd. Her date had her picture, so he’d have to be the one to approach.
What if he doesn’t? What if this is just karma giving me one last kick in
the teeth?
Oh, for God’s sake, stop being so dramatic.
“Jessica.”
A thrill shot down her spine, quickly eaten up
by a dread so strong, she wished the ground would open and swallow her whole.
She shot a look at the nearest exit, but if she took off now, she’d have to
admit that she fled instead of turning and facing her Number One Nightmare.
Jake Davis.
Praying she was wrong, she turned slowly to face
him. Nope. That was definitely Jake Davis, ex-quarterback, ex-boyfriend, just
all around ex when it came to Jessica. And he was definitely way better in real
life than he’d been in the pictures she’d seen while she was creeping on him.
Her heart picked up and her body sparked to life in a way it hadn’t in far too
long.
Something like ten years.
She was staring. She couldn’t stop. Jessica
licked her lips, her breath stalling in her lungs when his green eyes met hers.
His eyes had always been one of her favorite features—a true green that
brightened depending on what he was wearing, framed with thick, dark lashes
that had always made her jealous when she was a teenager. Going by those eyes,
Jakes would be judged downright pretty.
At least until you saw the rest of his face. His
hair had darkened over the years, closer to brown than blond, and his lantern
jaw was covered with… “What the hell is that on your face?”
He blinked, the only outward sign that she’d
surprised him.
“Nice to see you too, Jessie.” He touched his
scruff. “A lot’s changed since you left.”
Her gaze jumped to his right shoulder. There was
no outward sign of the injury that had started the end of it all, but then, he
was wearing a light-weight black T-shirt, so it wasn’t like it would show. Focus,
Jessica. “What are you doing here? Are you picking up someone for the
reunion?” There you go. Nice and casual.
“You might say that.” He kept looking at her
like he could see the inside of her head. Another new trick.
She glanced around, trying to be subtle. The
baggage claim had started to clear out, and there weren’t any conveniently
gorgeous men standing around alone. Where was her date? Now would be the
perfect time for him to sweep in and do the job she’d hired him for. “I’m here
with someone.”
“I know.”
She frowned. “What are you talking about?” On
second thought, escaping Jake before she met her date was probably a better
choice. She didn’t want to have to deal with meeting this new guy and trying to
pretend they’d been dating forever. And how was she going to explain how she’d
magically lost him between getting off the plane
and the baggage claim.
Cora’s so-called perfect plan was teetering
toward disaster.
“Your order from Diamond Dates.” He gave her a
slow, knowing grin that she felt all the way to her toes, and offered his hand.
“Jessica Jackson, I’m your date for the reunion.”
