“If all you want is for somebody to f*** a decad

“If all you want is for somebody to f*** a decade of frustration out of you and tuck you into bed with a snack, let me be the first to tell you—I am here for that.”
It’s the hottest thing anyone has ever said to me. I hate him for it. “And what? You intend to be that somebody?”
“I was born to be that somebody.”

HOT SHOT by @quirkybird coming 25 April.

🔥marriage of convenience
🔥he falls first
🔥single dad
🔥second chance
🔥small town
🔥smoking hot firefighter
🔥jilted bride
🔥first love
🔥baseball
🔥only one bed
🔥no third act breakup

Preorder: https://geni.us/hot-shot-ramblers
Goodreads: https://geni.us/aU6zu

Never thought I’d agree to a marriage of convenience to my hot, firefighter ex boyfriend.
Especially after he casually informs me we’ve been married for ten years.

Ten years ago, Wilder and I were so in love that we got married in Vegas for one night only before leaving for college on different sides of the world. He was supposed to mail the annulment papers.

Problem is, he didn’t.
Worse? He didn’t tell me.
Not even when I came back to town to marry another man.

But now he needs my help, and I can’t say no. All I have to do is have to pretend in front of the whole town like we’re married. Hold hands. Kiss. Not throw myself at him when he looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world.

My body might remember him, but the rest of me isn’t ready. Because I’m just learning how to find myself, and if I get wrapped up in Wilder’s world, I’ll lose more than my heart—I’ll lose everything.
Again.

💜💜 NEW RELEASE💜💜 JUST A LITTLE CRUSH

💜💜 NEW RELEASE💜💜

JUST A LITTLE CRUSH by @carlyphillips & @erikawilde1 is LIVE!

Grab it now:
Amazon 🇺🇸: https://amzn.to/44dZTsD
Amazon 🇬🇧: https://amzn.to/42xEzeO

It’s just a little crush. What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve had more than enough relationship drama to last a lifetime, so romance with Stevie Palmer, the gorgeous server I had a hot one-night stand with, isn’t in the cards. However, she would make the perfect fake girlfriend to help me win my custody battle.

When I offer her an obscene amount of money to play along, she agrees. I insist this arrangement is strictly business. No feelings. No complications.

Easy, right?

Except nothing about Stevie is easy. She’s unexpected softness, stubborn as hell, and impossible to ignore. I tell myself I can keep my hands off of her. That I can ignore the way she makes me feel. Then one kiss turns into another. One night into more. And suddenly, our perfect little arrangement is anything but simple or straight forward.

With so much at stake, can I turn our fake relationship into a real happily ever after?

💕 A Very Grumpy Marine by Shaw Hart is out toda

💕 A Very Grumpy Marine by Shaw Hart is out today.

And who doesn’t adore a bit of insta-love?

What’s even better, is this! Our hero, Camden, takes one look at Lymric and declares that she’s his. She declares that he’s crazy.

Let the insta-fun begin.

Amazon 🇺🇸: https://amzn.to/3DZditO
Amazon 🇬🇧: https://amzn.to/3Rqk2nq

Who falls in love on vacation?

When my best friend convinced me to come visit her in Wolf Valley, I thought that maybe it would be a fresh start.
I thought that it would be a chance for me to find some peace and quiet.
Instead, I found Camden.
Or he found me.
It doesn’t matter, the outcome is the same.
He says that I’m his.
I say that he’s crazy.
But what’s crazier, is that I’m starting to believe him.

As soon as I saw Lymric in town, I knew that she was the one for me.
Unfortunately, my plan of walking up to her and telling her that we were meant to be didn’t exactly go over great.
Now, I’m scrambling to come up with a way to show my girl that we’re meant to be.
The clock is racing to prove it to her before she goes home, but I’m not worried.
A Marine never backs down from a fight, and this is one battle that I intend to win.

Let me introduce you to… Asher & Nat from Faker

Let me introduce you to… Asher & Nat from Faker by @brighton_walsh.

This is not a book that I should have loved - musician hero, footloose and fancy free heroine, tragedy, children… but love it I did.

Asher and Nat are best friends who never really thought about taking that next step to something more. But now they’re faking a very real marriage and it’s all they can think about. I loved it. I loved them. Excellent story.

Grab it here:
Amazon 🇺🇸: https://amzn.to/3E0MMQw
Amazon 🇬🇧: https://amzn.to/4hlQ52v

They say fake it till you make it, and I’ve been a faker my whole damn life. But it was a lot easier pretending I didn't want my best friend before I needed her to be my wife.

Just as I’m on the brink of making my dreams a reality, tragedy strikes. One minute I’m chasing a record deal, and the next, I’m temporary guardian of my niece and nephew.

In order to prove to the judge I’m the best fit, I need to show stability. I need…a wife.

Even though Natalie Haven swore she left Havenbrook for good, she comes the second I call—no questions asked.

But Nat’s always been too big for this small town, and she’s only back long enough to help me fool everyone. Trouble is, we’re starting to fool ourselves.

It was easier faking it with half a world between us. Now that we're playing house by day and sharing a bed every night, it’s impossible to deny how much I want her. And how much I love calling her my wife.

Pretending to love Nat is the easiest lie I’ve ever told. Because the truth is I never stopped. The real problem is figuring out how to let her go when it’s all over.

*This book was originally published as Small Town Pretender in 2021 and significantly edited and updated in 2025*
