She’s got a scalpel-sharp tongue. He’s got touchdown hands. And their rules? Toasted.
I was just trying to move into my fixer-upper in peace. Then his dog broke into my kitchen.
And that’s when Lucian Crawford—best football running back, professional menace, and the man who jogs shirtless like it’s his job (it might be)—stumbled into my life.
Now we’re sharing a fence, co-parenting his rebellious Vizsla, and exchanging wildly inappropriate texts that could definitely get me fired if I weren’t self-employed.
He’s hot, insufferable, and too charming for his own good. I’m sarcastic, broke, and trying to save my crumbling vet clinic without falling into bed with the hot redheaded next door.
He thrives on chaos. I am chaos.
So obviously, when he offers me a “roommate situation” while my house gets gutted, I say yes. Because I make excellent life choices.
We have rules.
We have boundaries.
We absolutely, positively should not cross them.
...We definitely crossed them.
Now the only thing messier than my clinic’s plumbing is whatever’s happening between us.
And I’m starting to wonder if this was more than a bad idea in the making.
It might’ve been fate. Or worse… feelings.
Texting, Trouble, and Touchdown is a slow-burn, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring a chaotic vet and a hot running back who become roommates with very complicated benefits.

The only trouble? The infuriating man who lives just down the hall doesn’t seem to understand that.
Jace Henderson is beautiful, rich, and his veneer of perpetual, carefree bachelor is hiding a soft heart.
A possessive heart.
Because he’s decided he wants me.
Not just for one night.

Release: Penalty Shot (Seattle Sockeyes: The Scoring Series #11) by Jami Davenport
You met Juniper in Shutout. Now she gets her own story.
LEVI:
My relationship with Juniper is all fun and games until my heart enters the equation.
I'm a rookie pro hockey center who's touted to be a future star in the league. I have a rep to uphold as a player on and off the field. Along comes Junie. She's six years older than me, and there's something to be said about older being better. She's unlike any other woman I've dated, but therein lies the problem. I'm not relationship material. When my battered heart becomes involved, I cut and run. Call me a coward, and you'd probably be right. Caring about someone gives them power to do irreparable damage, and I vow to never again allow anyone that kind of control.
JUNIPER:
Ever since the divorce from my abusive husband I've been playing the field - and loving it. I'm not interested in a relationship, only a good time. Levi and I have a casual situation that suits us both until out of the blue Levi ends it. I've always been able to bounce back and move on, but this time, I can't stop thinking about him and how good we were together. Regardless, he did me a favor. I'm starting a new career as the team chef. I can't afford distractions and he's a huge one. Now I'm forced to see him every day. When he suggests we get back together, I resist on the surface, but deep-down I want him so badly I can't think straight. Still, I have other problems to tackle. Someone's sabotaging my position with the Sockeyes, and I'm certain I know who it is.
Despite my convictions to steer clear of Levi, I'm too weak, and we're barreling toward our fate at light speed. I'm not sure we'll survive the crash.

Blurb:
From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Landis comes a steamy, age gap, morally grey, revenge-driven MC romance—the first in a new series with a slight paranormal twist.
Brick:
Fifteen years ago, I lost my best friend, my sponsor, and the man I was proud to call a brother.
He was gunned down in the middle of the street on a Sunday afternoon.
A hit by a rival club as he rode toward his daughter on her thirteenth birthday.
Three miles from home, he missed her party and a pivotal moment in her life.
She never got to say goodbye.
Now, all these years later, we meet up again.
A snowstorm and a canceled flight in Denver put her in my path as I arrived at the airport to help my club brother.
I offer her a ride, and since it's her only option of arriving home safely, she accepts.
But we're targeted and followed, and nearly killed.
I manage to get her home safely for the holidays, only to kidnap and bring her to a safe house.
Ginny is mine.
I've claimed her and fallen hard for the sexy, curvy redhead.
I won't risk her safety. She's got to stay in hiding until I can deal with the threat.
But she's got secrets, and so do I.
Ginny doesn't know that I was the one who found her father, Hesh, in his last moments.
I made a promise to protect her, to get vengeance for the men who stole Ginny's father from her.
And if I have to ride into hell to do it, I will.
This is not a standalone. It's highly recommended to read My Christmas Biker first.
Welcome to Las Vegas, where sin, corruption, and the law tangle together. Control belongs to the ones who wear a patch and ride an iron steed. Get ready to rev your engines with the wicked, possessive, protective, alpha men of the Graven Bastards MC Las Vegas Chapter.

Teaser: Burning for Him (Trident Security #13) by Samantha Cole
The romance Trident Security fans have begged for!
One night. One choice. And a passion too strong to ignore...
Jenn Mullins has been in love with Doug Henderson for years. The problem? After taking a bullet while protecting her, he believes her feelings are nothing more than hero-worship. With an eight-year age gap, he also thinks she's too young for him. Worse yet, he works for her overprotective godfather and uncles—who still call her “Baby-girl.”
When Jenn takes a chance and kisses Doug, he briefly gives in to the attraction he tries to deny… then runs.
Months later, heartbroken and determined to move on, she volunteers at a medical commune in Colombia for the summer, far away from the man she pines for. But fate has other plans. When Doug shows up unexpectedly, neither is prepared for an earthquake and the resulting chaos.
When they find themselves alone, safe in each other's arms, long-burning embers erupt into a raging inferno. But as dawn breaks, will outside forces extinguish the flames?
A heart-tugging slow-burn about forbidden love, second chances, and finding the courage to hold on.
Teaser: Sweet Home by Clara Pines and Christmas Treasures by Tess Thompson (Sugarville Grove Series)
Will secrets from her past threaten the future they both long for?
Single dad West Lawrence never wanted anything more than what he has right now—a beautiful home on the dairy farm with his family, a thriving small town medical practice by the park, and a precocious four-year-old daughter who keeps him on his toes.
When the young doctor is called to the local mechanic shop to check on a mysterious stranger, he doesn’t expect that the stranger will be a beautiful woman. And he never dreams that her sudden presence will not only show him how lonely he’s been, but how much he has secretly wondered if little Elizabeth really needs a mom.
All Dulcie has ever wanted for Christmas was a place to call home and people to love. So when she finds herself stranded for the holidays with an achingly gorgeous doctor and his adorable daughter, in a small town so charming it looks like something out of a movie, she’s ready to hold on with both hands to all the goodness the universe is offering—even if it’s only temporary.
But just when it starts to feel like they might be meant for each other, a secret from Dulcie’s past threatens to tear it all apart. Can their hope for happiness survive these inescapable truths?
In cozy Sugarville Grove, Charlie Keene has quietly built a life—running a pizzeria in honor of the father she lost and carefully hiding her tech-world fortune. Despite the season’s festive cheer, her windows remain bare of decorations, a painful reminder of a Christmas past she can’t forget.
Max Hayes, the free-spirited adventurer of the family, finally wants roots. Buying the town’s country store has given him just that—and a front-row seat to Charlie’s bittersweet smile. She’s beautiful and brilliant, yet something about her lonely gaze stirs a protective warmth in his wandering heart.
When they team up on a mission to feed those in need, sparks fly along with pizza dough. But as feelings deepen, Charlie’s painful history and Max’s fear of surrendering his freedom threaten to tear them apart.
Can two wary hearts learn to trust again under Sugarville Grove’s twinkling lights? Or will old wounds keep them from a Christmas love that could be the greatest gift of all?
Teaser: When Love Found Us (The Timberbridge Brothers #3) by Claudia Burgoa
Get it EARLY on June 4th if you preorder on her website!
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a deeply emotional small-town romance about a runaway heiress, a tattooed protector, and the marriage that was never supposed to be real—until love found them anyway.
He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby.
I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs.
But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over. Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind.
He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache.
Pretending we were married was for my protection.
A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband.
We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future.
But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home.
Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back.
Because small towns have long memories.
And secrets don’t stay buried forever.

Blurb:
He’s the one who got away…
Rafferty and I were inseparable best friends growing up.
Then it ended.
I avoid him as much as possible, but it’s difficult since the Riot MC is one big family.
When an accident throws us back together, I’m reminded of how much I love spending time with Rafferty and how perfect we used to be. The bitter-sweet reminder comes too late since our lives are headed in opposite directions. He’s a Riot MC prospect, and I’m in dental school.
It’s good that we’ve moved on, because he wouldn’t want a woman who still has her v-card. A man like Rafferty definitely doesn’t want a woman like me.
Or am I wrong?
…But he never got away from her.
Alexandra is the only woman I’ve ever wanted.
After things fell apart between us, I tried to find someone else.
No woman measures up to my loyal, gorgeous, spit-fire friend.
She insists that her life won’t be tied to the Riot MC, which means she doesn’t want a biker like me in her life.
Taking her home after a horrible car crash opens my eyes.
We’ve both changed.
She can run from the club, but she can’t deny that the club always has her back.
It’s time to show her how good we can be.
Not everyone is thrilled with this development, the Riot MC brothers especially. I can handle the brothers by proving I’ll do anything for my woman.
But a threat from Alexandra’s past puts us to a test we never imagined and it might just tear us apart.
