The Wedding Agreement by Elizabeth Hayley
The author of Just Say Yes is back with another sweet and sultry Strictly Business novel about working hard and falling harder into an unexpected romance…
Love doesn’t always follow the same schedule…
Alex Walker doesn’t need a woman in his life. In fact, he doesn’t have time for one. Between his career in the FBI and the demands of being good father, romance is an unwanted distraction.
Likewise, Cassidy Mullen is fine on her own. The independent career woman has never had a husband in her plans—forget about kids. But when her friend Alex gets into a bind with his ex over their daughter, Cass finds herself suddenly playing the part of Alex’s stable, child-loving fiancée—and liking it a lot more than she’d care to admit.
Soon Alex and Cass can’t deny the real passion growing between them. But as fake affection turns into real love, Cass and Alex will have to make a choice: say “I Do” to their feelings or give up on happily-ever-after for good…
Body Lock: MMA Sports Romance by Grace Hugh
MMA fighting sensation Jans “The Dragon” will do anything to protect LeAnne… and their secret baby.
LeAnne
I was a nobody. A nobody with a junkie mom and a sh*t life. I swore I’d never be like her, I was good!
Until bad boy Jans rolled through like a storm, claiming my body with his dominating hands and my heart with his icy blue eyes. My mom finally did something right when she became Vinnie, Jans’ dad’s, arm candy girlfriend.
Then everything went wrong.
I know Jans didn’t mean to do it. He was only trying to protect me.
Jans
Her innocence was like an addiction, I was obsessed from the moment I saw her. I couldn’t get enough of her sweet lips and delicious taste.
My Capo father would kill us if he ever found out. He wanted to marry LeAnne off in some bullsh*t Family alliance but I had other plans.
It all fell apart when I f**ked it up. Bad.
Bad like a two year, federal penitentiary sentence bad.
Now I’m out and nothing will stop me from doing what I have to and exposing Vinnie’s treachery to protect LeAnne.
I’m 6’2″ and 220 pounds of hard, fighting muscle. I’ll battle it out in the cage and score our future. All I have to do is beat every opponent the Families send at me, no limit, in one night. Impossible but I’ll come out on top.
*Note: Body Lock is a full length novel, heavy on the steam, with a happy ever after ending and no cliffhangers.*
