The only thing worse than twisting your ankle up on a mountaintop?
Doing it in front of the crush who teased you for years.
This hike was supposed to be about hitting the reset button. Getting out of my comfort zone—and hey, maybe proving I’m not such a hopeless indoor girl after all.
Then I slip on a loose rock and go tumbling, scraping up my palms and twisting my ankle. It’s messy. It hurts. And the worst part is: my brother’s best friend saw the whole thing.
I had such a huge crush on this guy growing up.
And he teased me for years—before shocking the whole town by moving to a cabin in the woods and becoming a loner. Now this familiar face is a mystery to me.
Why did he move to the wilderness? What turned the handsome, laughing guy we all knew into a brooding mountain man?
And as he bandages me up in his cabin… can I keep this age-old crush under wraps?

✨TEASER: CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT by @sa

✨TEASER: CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT by @saraneyauthor releasing 2nd June!

#PreOrderHere
https://books2read.com/CAGWYWSNeyKU

What you will find inside:
🏒Hockey
💚Forbidden (but fun)
🏒Teammates Sister
💚RomCom
🏒No Strings Attached
💚Whoops, He's Actually Perfect
🏒All the Banter...
💚Steamy, Slow-Burn
🏒Grocery Store Foreplay
💚Off Limits
🏒Twin Sibling Drama
💚Emotionally Clueless (but physically obsessed)
🏒He Falls First
💚Secret Relationship
🏒Online Dating
💚Should Have Swiped Left

There are two sacred rules in the Montagalo household:
1. Family comes first.
2. Don’t date my brother’s teammates.
Of course I went and broke both.

It started with a little banter on a dating app.
A teeny, tiny secret: Flirty messages with Luca Babineaux, the sweet, charming—and stupidly attractive forward on the Houston Baddies—who makes sweat and bruises look so f’ing hot. One spark turns into a secret first date. A few kisses become way more.

Now I’m tangled in a full-blown secret romance and every time Gio walks into the room, I have a full-blown anxiety attack.
Dating in secret? Thrilling.
Lying to my brother? Exhausting.

Falling for Luca Babineaux obviously wasn’t part of the game plan.
He wants to go public with our relationship. I’d rather not.

Now I have to decide what matters more: keeping my promises to my dumb, overprotective brother...or choose myself for once.

All’s fair in love and hockey. Right?

JUST ONE MORE AFFAIR by @carlyphillips is LIVE!

And it’s another winner in the Sterling Family series.

Oops, she did it again!

A one-night stand with a billionaire.
A surprise pregnancy.
Can she trust his love?
Or is it the baby tying them together?

Charlotte Kendall never expected history to repeat itself after a one-night stand at a wedding. Especially since a past encounter left her co-parenting twin daughters she adores. Except this time, her baby daddy is a man she can’t resist.

Billionaire Jared Sterling always gets what he wants—and he wants Charlotte Kendall. When he learns she’s pregnant, he’s all in. But Charlotte’s past has taught this independent, single mom to guard her heart. She doubts Jared’s motives and believes he’s only invested for the baby.

Their chemistry is undeniable and Jared will do anything to convince Charlotte she’s his endgame. But her life is complicated and when her brother’s recklessness puts Charlotte in danger, Jared takes over, proving he’s offering the love and stability she has always craved.

Now Charlotte must decide—will she keep running from the man who’s offering her everything, or take a chance on love?

Not gonna lie - I don't see this obsession with no

Not gonna lie - I don't see this obsession with not having (and ensuring everyone knows in advance that there aren't any) third act break-ups in romances.

I don't mind them. In fact, I quite like them.

Aye - maybe not all the time. But once in a while is just fine by me.
