From NYT bestselling author Melanie Moreland comes a feuding to lovers standalone romance!

John Elliott is a busy man. He runs his farm and his business, keeping to himself, with no time for
anything else in his life.
Quinn Harper is a single mother, looking for a fresh start.
The small town she picked seemed perfect—until her first run-in with John.
They strike sparks of the wrong kind and insist that keeping their distance is for the best.
Yet, despite his growly nature and curt tone, he is sweet to her daughter.
And he finds himself looking for reasons to be in Quinn’s company.
Do things that make them both smile. Make him feel happy.
Sparks sizzle into a low, banked fire.
And then an inferno erupts.
Neither wanted it.
But now, they can’t live without it.

Author’s note: Get ready to swoon over a rugged farmer with a hidden heart of gold, falling for a
fearless single mom and her charming little girl.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills returns with a sexy he-falls-first sports romance about a quarterback and his frenemy-matchmaker.

On an ordinary day, Jane Darling wouldn't be caught dead in a sports bar wearing a toga with angel wings. But she's desperate to launch her matchmaking business to secure her young daughter's future. Her mission: to attract new clients at any cost.

Her Cupid outfit catches the eye of New York's beloved star quarterback, Jasper Jannich. She and Jasper have always clashed, but when a pushy admirer goes too far, he steps in as an unexpected knight in shining armor.

He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid's Arrow's premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation.

As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane's the only woman he wants.
She is his goal, his endgame.

She's not not interested...but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they'll need courage and faith.

Hunter O’Connor is the bane of my existence.

When I set out to join Green Valley’s new volunteer firefighter team as a way to honor my late father, the last person I expected to find there was the heartthrob bad boy from high school. The one whose family was involved in certain… illegal pursuits. Even if it is seven years later, people don’t change that much. And I especially don’t expect him to remember me—or for him to have a grudge.

I swear I didn’t mean to get entangled in a prank war with him, but when it gets too out of hand, the fire chief lays down the law, forcing us to work together in order to redeem ourselves and make the team. There are only so many smirky quips this foul-mouthed guy with a reputation can make, though, before I discover the real Hunter. The one who’s nothing like I thought he was. And when all that attention is focused on me in a different way… sparks fly.

‘All Fired Up’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book 7 in the Green Valley Heroes series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.
