Rory in a Kilt by Anna Durand is now live!





Rory MacTaggart—uptight lawyer by day, steamy seducer by night.

One night in New Orleans changed my life. But is it for better or worse? The instant I see Emery Granger, I need to possess her. A one-night stand should've been the end of it. Except I can't quite let her go yet.

A marriage of convenience is the best I can offer.

For reasons I can't fathom, Emery agrees to marry me for money, knowing it will last only one year. She is the opposite of every woman I've ever known, and the opposite of me—cheerful, free-spirited, and compassionate. Maybe that's why I need to have her, though I will never love her.

All I know for certain is that living by my rules might destroy us both.

Rory in a Kilt is the third and final book in The Ballachulish Trilogy, a brand-new series based on the first three books in the bestselling Hot Scots series, reborn and retold from the heroes' perspectives. Rory in a Kilt is coming soon in audio narrated by Shane East.

Especially him.

Kane Kingston, the boy I once loved is now a man I don’t recognize.
I want to settle into this new life, but one secret I never meant to keep may ruin it all.

Noelle Cooper will always be the one who slipped away wordlessly into the night, taking a piece of me as she went.

Now she’s back in town threatening to crack the armor I’ve held in place for so long.

If that isn’t enough, she is also dating my best friend.

She’s keeping a secret though. One that can change the trajectory of my entire life.

Am I strong enough to weather the storm?

EXCERPT

Prologue

Kane
Seven Years Earlier

“Why won’t she answer me?” I throw my phone across the bed, frustrated.

“You’re probably scaring her because you’ve done nothing but call her for the last hour,” Kai––my twin brother––says, rolling his eyes.

“It’s not like her not to answer,” I point out.

“Maybe she finally realized what a piece of garbage you are, and she’s moving on with her life.” He shrugs, and I launch a pillow in his direction.

“Fuck off, Kai.”

He gets off the bed, laughing. “Whatever. It’s not my fault you’re obsessed with your best friend.”

“I’m not obsessed with Noel,” I insist, lying through my teeth.

“Everyone but Noelle knows that you’re obsessed with her.”

I watch him leave the room and I get out of bed, frustrated. I guess I’ll go over to her house and find out what’s going on.

After what happened last night, I feel like we have a lot to talk about. I think I’m ready to tell her how I really feel. Last night changed everything. I don’t know if we can go back to what we were before.

I go outside, walking out to the sidewalk. Noelle Cooper has lived two houses down from us since we were in grade school. She was riding her bike down the sidewalk one day when her shoestring got stuck in her bike chain and she fell right in front of our house. I came outside to help, and we’ve been attached at the hip ever since.

I’m not obsessed with her. More like in love with her. I have been since we turned twelve and I started to notice just how gorgeous she really is. Now that we’re fifteen, it’s the only thing I notice.

She’s got this long blonde hair, almost white, that falls just past her shoulders. Her legs are long, and she has a yearlong tan that makes all the girls jealous. She could be a supermodel.

I’ve been pounding on their door for about five minutes when Mr. James––their neighbor––comes outside.

“They left,” he shouts from his porch.

“What do you mean, they left?” I ask.

“They loaded a moving van in the middle of the night and left early this morning. It looked like they were in a hurry.” He shrugs, walking back inside his house.

I feel my heart drop down to my stomach. That can’t be true. Noelle wouldn’t do that to me. She’s my best friend.

I walk around the house, peeking into the windows, and I’m starting to think Mr. James is right. There’s nothing left here.

What could have happened to make her family just up and leave in the middle of the night? Why wouldn’t she have at least called me and told me she was leaving?

My sadness quickly turns to anger. That’s fine. I guess Noelle Cooper was never really the friend I thought she was.

I’m wondering how long it will take to fall out of love with the first girl you ever fell in love with?

Title: The Aristocrat
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 30, 2021




BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.

Cold.

Cruel.

Fearless.

Ed Mescal had been all those things.

None of them fit.

Rebel.

Now he's back, freed from the past and ready to reclaim the life and love stolen from him.

I never should have slept with Colin McCoy.


Keeping You, an all-new steamy, small-town standalone romance from Lena Hendrix is coming September 10th and we have the beautiful cover!

When I moved to my sister’s small town, I was looking for a fresh start—no more shallow relationships, no snotty fake friends, and definitely no charming, dirty-talking musicians. 

We had a fun, red-hot night together and we agreed that hooking up was a mistake, a one-time thing. But when my dream bakery location happens to be right next door to his bar, every day I’m forced to see that chiseled jawline and remember the feel of his incredible body on mine. 

No. I’m starting over. I have rules. No more bad habits, definitely no falling in love. No matter how hard he tries, hooking up with him again would prove I’m the flake everyone expects me to be. 

But here I am, stuck between wanting to make something of my life and wanting to grab him and make another delicious mistake.

I broke the cardinal rule and slept with my sister’s best friend.

 

Granted, I’d just found out that I was now a single father to a three-year-old little girl and was low on willpower.

 

It should also be noted that there’s been sexual tension between us for years. There’s no way it would be a surprise if anyone in our small town found out. That is if we were telling people, which we’re not.

 

We’re in agreement to keep our affair a secret, especially since neither one of us do relationships. 

 

You’ve probably figured it out already, but things didn’t go as planned.

Meet Sutton Bishop

I’ve been creating stories since I was a young girl. Playing in the rural meadows and woods in Illinois ​afforded my active imagination ample opportunity to go wild. 

I grew up believing in fairy tales and dreaming of Prince Charming, creating some fanciful, complex stories. I crushed hard on most of my prince charmings. Many of them disappointed me, but a few did not. Those that didn’t matured as I matured. I added textures of character, physicality, and backstory. My monkey mind stayed busy, fleshing them out with strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies, based on men I met and experiences I had. Putting the stories on paper came much later, after four kids and a disjointed career. 

My passions are culture and history. I have degrees in anthropology, forensics, and history. I have traveled near and far, asked countless questions, and made untold observations. Out great world is my imagination-laboratory, and writing brings it all together—the layers, the ordinary, and the extraordinary. Writing is how I explore the “what ifs.” 

Anything is possible and often is. I invite you to take a break from your day-to-day living. Take a journey in a book. Immerse yourself in fantasy. What if? 

Lose yourself in romance. Read mine.  

Sutton
