Years later, Logan is back in her small hometown and ready to prove to everyone (especially herself) that she’s not that same girl anymore. But the new life she’s so carefully constructed starts to tear apart the second she runs into Cole Tucker.

Logan thought she’d put her childhood rival and their adolescent games behind her, but it takes her only one night before she’s forced into one final game, a series of hilariously immature challenges that has the whole town keeping score.

Standalone Title

When a fantasy turns into a cold reality

Lexanne Harris had a plan down to the last sexy detail. Never did she think her attempt to spice up her love life with her boyfriend would involve her in a burglary with a sexier-than-sin thief whose emerald eyes and serious between-the-sheets skills are impossible to forget. As a police detective, she is expected to stand on the side of the law and fight for justice. But what happens when the lines of justice blur and what’s wrong becomes way too tempting?

The situation might be challenging, but Lexanne is determined to get assigned to the case, recover the jewels and catch the culprit.

The question is: What will she do with her sexy cat burglar when she catches him?

A Temptress in Tartan by Gerri Russell (Muse)

All the King’s Men, Book 3

Can two sworn enemies run from a fate that was thrust upon them…or surrender to each other?

Lachlan Douglas’ hatred for the Ruthvens was born when he was a lad of seven, the day that clan murdered his mother and father. They took everything from him without mercy, leaving him with nothing but a heart of stone. Now, one of King James VI’s mightiest warriors, Lachlan wreaks havoc on enemies of the Scottish crown. When the Ruthvens stir up trouble for the king and the Douglas clan once more, Lachlan faces his greatest opponent yet—a bold, beautiful lass who wants to see him dead at any cost.

When Elizabeth Ruthven finds herself at the royal court to be used as a peace offering between the Ruthven and Douglas clans, she has no interest in marrying her enemy. Elizabeth is determined to continue the family feud, but she isn’t prepared for the brawny, brooding warrior who invades her life—and her heart. He is an infuriating, irresistible opponent with a curious touch, a smoldering kiss, and a reluctant smile that begins to shine on her alone.

As Elizabeth tries to sort out her feeling for her enemy, danger and treachery loom when her clansmen accuse Lachlan of sorcery. In a time when witches are hunted with fanatical zeal, Elizabeth must choose between forgiveness and love, or a chance at revenge at the end of the hangman’s noose.

She’s shelved her malfunctioning romantic radar, possibly forever. But she’s not opposed to no strings attached sex, especially when she meets the brooding and enigmatic Oren Brody. Even better? After giving her a mind blowing orgasm with no reciprocal expectations, he vanishes as mysteriously as he appeared.

Six months ago Oren Brody and his brothers, Asher and Ebon, bought the London Phoenix newspaper to save the esteemed daily from bankruptcy.

But then one night becomes two, with the heat between them showing no signs of cooling. Until Layla’s trust is put to the ultimate test and dirty little secrets are exposed.

There’s no place like home, and no love like his…

Lilly Vasquez has returned home to Compass Cove after making her way in Hollywood as a hair stylist to the stars. With such a successful career, why she moved back to Long Island to open her own salon is a mystery, and Lilly’s not talking. That is until a movie shoot nearby drops the trouble she thought she left in California right into her backyard.

FBI Special Agent Jack Miller has floated in and out of Compass Cove for the last fifteen years, rarely staying in town for more than a few days because he’s so wrapped up in his work.

With the excitement of a big family wedding, Jack has an excuse to stick close, but Lilly doesn’t appreciate the attention, especially since it stirs up a bee’s nest of long-buried feelings.

Will the long-time friends succumb to the small town magic and take the biggest risk of their lives? Or will they play it safe, and miss their happily ever after?

Lone Star Nights by Justine Davis (Texas Born)

Texas Justice, Book 2

Slater Highwater had his own reasons for coming home to Last Stand, Texas. And if anyone wants to know why a guy with a philosophy degree from an Ivy League school was now running the historic Last Stand Saloon, he has a stack of ready answers, none of which are the complete truth.

But Joey Douglas never asked that question. Perhaps because she and Slater are always carrying on conversations no one else can even keep up with. Or perhaps because she suspects she knows why he came home: her glamorous and calculating older sister had broken his heart.

That sister seems an insurmountable barrier between Joey and the man she’s longed for from the first time she’d ever seen him. Because Joey will never, ever settle for being a consolation prize, no matter how much she loves him.

The question is, can Slater convince her she’s the real love of his life?

How was writing Nate different from writing Jethro (your hero from Book 1)?
Writing Nate was very different because he had to change dramatically over the book, more than any other character I’ve written. He had to let go of what he thought he wanted and embrace change, even though it went against everything he stood for. Something he really wasn’t happy with. Eventually he accepted it was what he needed to do but I won’t tell you what happens in the end.

What is a Hansen Family tradition that you haven’t written about?
Camping.  When the boys were younger, they’d disappear out bush with the bare basics and go rogue.

Joy’s tough, but what do you imagine is the one thing (besides her son) that always makes her melt?
Nate. The way he is with her little man. Some people take to step children, some don’t. Nate does it so well she’s constantly shell shocked she got so lucky marrying him. The way he accepts she had a love before she met him and doesn’t want her to forget him. I had my editor in tears because of this.

Is Nate’s playboy reputation deserved or is he the victim of small town gossip?
Oh no, it’s deserved! He broke many hearts with his three date rule. It almost put Joy off but she was desperate.

What are you currently reading?
I have a few books on the go right now. David Baldacci’s Road to Mercy, Jodi Picoult’s A Spark of Light and Michelle Obama’s Becoming.

After moving to the lush green wine region of Australia’s Hunter Valley, Ann has the perfect surrounding to let her imagination to run wild. She alternates her time between writing western romances, women’s fiction romantic and playing in her garden. Two kinds of hero make Ann to a mass of nerves. The hot cowboy with a slow sexy drawl (she used to live out in the desert and enjoyed every minute) and a man in a kilt (Imagine Jamie Fraser) She can’t wait to visit Scotland where she can get her fill of the tartan clad hotties for, um research purposes, of course.

In the meantime, her dear husband puts up with her talking to her characters and getting lost in worlds only she can imagine as she battles to bring stories to the page for everyone to enjoy.

Author Ann B. Harrison took the time recently to talk to us about her new release Cowboy to the Rescue.

With your heroine running a law firm, what kind of legal research did you have to do for this book?
I’m lucky that one of my friends was a legal secretary and her husband owns a law firm so not a lot. I talked most of my legal scenes through with her and double checked the same law applied in Montana. Google is awesome.

Where did the name Jethro come from? Have you ever known one in real life?
No, I’ve never met one ever! Maybe that’s why I wanted to use it. Sometimes knowing someone with the name your hero has is off putting and I like to imagine them how I want them. Then again, it can be helpful too.

Who were you picturing when you first conjured Layla Fox?
Would you believe Reese Witherspoon but only for looks. I channeled The Good Wife for most of Sadie’s scenes. I love that show!

Montana is Big Sky Country. Where was the best sunset (or sunrise) you’ve ever seen?I’m partial to a Bali sunset. There’s something about the way the moon is so huge you can almost touch it. And when it disappears into the ocean it’s a sight to behold.

What are you reading currently?
I’ve got two on the go right now. David Baldacci’s Hour Game. He’s my favorite suspense writer ever! And Deep Work – rules for focused success in a distracted world – Cal Newport. I try to have one craft book on the go along with a fiction title. Mostly I succeed. This one is a winner.
