Saving Levi

Oakside Military Heroes Book 4

by Kaci Rose

Genre: Contemporary Military Romance

Blurb:

Can you find yourself in the midst of losing everything?

Levi

I could never be what my father expected of me. Content to run the family business wasn’t the life I saw for myself. I longed to serve my country, and it cost me more than my relationship with my dad. Now, as I recover from losing a limb, I smile through the pain. I pretend being alone doesn’t bother me. Make jokes to mask the anguish. But Mandy sees the truth and calls me out for self-sabotaging. That is one of the many reasons I find myself falling for her, despite her being my ex’s best friend…

Mandy

I beat the odds and built a life I love. I know it can be done. Therefore, I refuse to allow my patients to think otherwise. When I see Levi masking his pain, I know it will prevent him from accepting his new truth and overcoming it. By working with him, I guide him on the road to recovery… until his estranged father shows up. Will everything we have worked for so far be shattered in a single moment or will Levi finally stand up for what he wants. And what if what he wants, isn’t me?

Whiskey Home

Whiskey Falls, Book One

by Taryn Rivers

Blurb:

Tony

I promised to protect my best friend’s little sister—I didn’t plan on falling in love.

But when a murderer strikes in my county and she may be the next target, I can’t hold back anymore.

She doesn’t know it yet, but when this is over she’s here to stay.

If I can keep her alive.

Bree

A tragedy called me back to Whiskey Falls, but as soon as I take care of business, I’m out of here.

It doesn’t matter that I’ve been in love with Tony Kane since I was a child.

Or that I go weak at the knees every time I see him.

My family broke my heart, but he has the power to shatter it.

No way am I sticking around for that.

Excerpt:

The patio door opens behind me, alerting me to Bree’s presence.

“Bree’s here. I gotta go,” I tell him.

“Watch your back,” he warns, not hiding the worry in his voice.

“You, too.” I hang up and turn around to find Bree rubbing the back of her neck with a resigned look on her face.

“She’s on her way, isn’t she?” I ask.

She winces and nods.

“Please tell me Colt’s with her.” I like Colt, and it’s obvious he cares for both women. Plus, he can handle himself and is one hell of a shot.

“No. Colt’s not with her. But she’s not alone.”

“You need to call her back and tell her to turn around. We barely have enough manpower to cover you, much less Sadie and whichever one of your friends she’s dragging with her.”

“It’s, um, well, it’s Killian,” she stammers. “He didn’t want her driving by herself.”

It takes a few seconds before I trust myself to speak. “Are you telling me Killian Cross is on his way here right now?”

She bites her lip and nods reluctantly.

“Exactly how many times has Cross asked you out?” I ask.

She wrings her hands together. “Twice. And it’s been months. We’re just good friends, not that it’s any of your business.”

I see red. “Not my fucking business? Are you high? Everything about you is my business.”

She backs up but it’s too late. In two steps I’m on her. I pull her to me and slam my mouth down on hers.

Instead of fighting it, her arms wrap around me. I fist her hair, and she gasps, giving me what I need to slide my tongue home. I bring her even closer, and she melts into me.

I pour everything I have into the kiss. If she won’t believe it when I tell her she’s mine, I’ll fucking show her and leave no room for doubt.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for two years, and all my frustration comes through. She moans into my mouth which spurs me on. I thought our first kiss couldn’t be beat, but this one blows it out of the water.

This kiss is everything. Heaven and hell, want and need, every ounce of my being focused on the slide of her tongue. I slow it down until our lips separate. I run my nose along hers then drop my hand down to her lower back and bury my face in her hair.

“This is why you’re my business. This proves you want me as much as I want you. Face it. You’re mine, and I’m fucking yours. Always have been. Always will be.”

I lean in and kiss the side of her lips. “Give us a chance, beautiful. It’s going to work out. I promise.”

Her entire face softens, and I think I have her. But then she blinks, and I see naked fear flash in her eyes right before she shuts down.

Fucking hell.

About That Rule

About That Series, Book 2

by Erin Lynne

Blurb:

A vacation in Las Vegas with friends was going to be nothing but a good time.

When two of Samantha Nollins friends surprised everyone that they eloped, she was ready to party. After all, she was known to celebrate at all times, along with her bestie Nate Haddic. However, when they wake up the next day, their two friends weren’t the only ones who eloped!

Samantha and Nate immediately go to the courthouse, only to be told they need to wait ninety-days and try to make their marriage work.

There was nothing worse than two players who had to settle down. In order to keep their friendship intact, they created rules – which seemed easy enough.

First rule, no sex. This was a bummer, but there was no way they were cheating on each other, even if the wedding was fake.

Second, they had to visit each other more, which was no sweat off their backs.

Third, they couldn’t tell anyone. This was mainly because it was only ninety-days, why get anyone else involved?

Fourth was more because of the court order, but they had to take pictures of them together. This way, they could show the judge they tried, but it didn’t work.

Lastly, the most important role, was no falling for each other.

But, what happens if the lines start to blur?

Excerpt:

Samantha moved over to him and poked his shoulder in anger. “Now isn’t the time to admire the city. You ended a party where people, including me, were having fun. Then you decide to kiss the hell out of me like I was all you wanted. And now you pull back and tell me not to look at you like that. Do tell, how am I looking at you?”

Nate, being four inches taller, stared down at her. “Like you want something that’ll ruin everything.”

“Didn’t you kiss me?”

“We were playing the game.”

This made her laugh—and not the good kind. It was almost manic, like she couldn’t believe this was actually happening. What a lame excuse, blaming their chemistry on a game. “Are you serious?”

“As serious as our signed contract,” he said, a touch of bitterness in his tone.

She flipped her hair over her shoulder before putting her hands on her hips. “Don’t you dare act like this is my fault. Our sham of a marriage wasn’t something I forced on you. It wasn’t like I woke up in a committed relationship and celebrated the news. We’re in the same boat here.”

He huffed. “I know it’s not your fault we’re married.”

“Wow, you sound so sincere.” Her voice oozed sarcasm.

“It isn’t either of our faults,” he conceded. “But it was stupid for us to kiss for no reason. We need to follow the rules. I’m going to hold up my end of the bullshit bargain.”

If kissing her senseless was part of holding up his end of the bargain, she wasn’t sure she’d survive anymore of their marriage. Her lips were bruised at the way he’d devoured her. Her pulse was still racing over the excitement of feeling his hands on her.
