Laura Pavlov Loving Romeo: A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Sports Romance (Magnolia Falls Series)

 

 Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.

I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.

She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.

We couldn’t be more different.

Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.

I despised her before I even knew her.

It was easier that way.

But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.

I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.

She was beautiful and honest and sweet.

Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.

Shouldn’t need.

They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.

I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.

She was the right hook I never saw coming.

Hating her was supposed to be my end game.

Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.

But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.

Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.

And she was definitely worth the fight.

 I’m a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie.

It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I’m not letting it happen again.

Now she’s home for good, and I’ll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

 Owen West

Sure, Waverley Bennett is undeniably gorgeous with her long black hair and blue eyes that rival the sky. She’s also annoying, smart-mouthed, and oh yeah, my boss’s daughter…but those eyes. It doesn’t matter anyway; I don’t have the time for a relationship. Nothing serious suits me just fine. I’ve got my sister and niece to support, but when my sister takes things too far, I move Annabelle in with me and my cool uncle status goes straight down the drain as I take on temporary guardianship.

When Annabelle begs to take Waverley’s summer reading program at her school, I’m forced to see Waverley treat Annabelle as her own like I wish her mother would. With one night of Waverley taking care of Annabelle, I’m done for. I need her like I’ve never needed anyone before, but she’s got walls and a painful past that makes her hesitant. But I’ll wait; I’ll tear down those walls brick-by-brick.

In no time, Waverley and Annabelle become my world, my home, my family, but my life comes with responsibilities and drama that I shouldn’t put Waverley through. She tells me to bring it all despite her fears, and I think I may just do it.

Allie Samberts The Write Choice: A Sweet and Spicy Romantic Comedy Book 3 of 3: Leade Park

 

 Loving someone is seeing their worst moments and choosing them anyway.

When Katie and Brandon unexpectedly became parents, they were just starting to fall in love with their baby and each other. Life was good.

Now, seven years later, Brandon has a wife, two kids, and a career in New York City. He’s just having trouble figuring out how to balance it all.

Katie—eight years sober and immersed in motherhood—is frustrated with her husband’s late nights and her own loneliness. She’d love to fill the gaps with her art, but she doesn’t have much time.

Suddenly, Brandon is offered a golden opportunity: taking over his parents’ architecture firm. The catch? It’s in Chicago. But when Katie’s sobriety is put at risk, he makes a quick decision to transplant his family to suburban Leade Park, Illinois.

Katie begrudgingly gives Brandon two months to persuade her that this move will be better for everyone. If he can’t, she’s going to pack up the kids and go back. With or without him.

With the kids in school, she’ll have time for her art, and they’re finally reunited with friends and family. It should be easy to convince her, right?

But the familiar pull of the job and the unfamiliarity of a new place have them slipping further away from each other with each passing day.

Can Katie and Brandon blend their visions and design the life they want? Or will they choose to go their separate ways?

Lore Townsend Shameless Lover: A Steamy, Friends-with-Benefits, Adult Step-Siblings, Age Gap Romance (Off-Limits Lovers) Part of: Off-Limits Lovers (3 books)

 

All I wanted was to pull off the perfect wedding for my clients and launch my new wedding planning business.

What I got was a hot Caribbean hook-up with an older billionaire playboy during a masquerade party at the island resort I’m calling home until the wedding.

Some people might consider that a pretty good tradeoff, but that playboy happens to be my new stepbrother…and he found out it was me at the party.

If he was a good little jet-setter, he’d run off to his next destination and bedmate, but the charming asshole decides to do the exact opposite—giving himself a job working with me on the wedding.

I only have this one shot to prove to my family—and myself—that I’m good enough to make it in this business. The last thing I need is unwanted help from someone who has more money than sense.

But try telling that to my heart…

Landing my dream job was surprisingly easy. Having to relocate to the small town of Hickory Hills, GA? Not so much. But I'm a woman on a mission, and nothing is going to get in my way.

Until Noel Keller barges into my life.

As a born-and-bred northerner, I have a lot to learn about southern ways. A fact that is on display every time Noel rescues me from some sort of mishap.

It's hard to ignore the goosebumps when I hear that smooth southern drawl of his. Especially when he calls me honey.

But none of that matters.

My best friend’s sister is off-limits for more reasons than one.

Chasing NHL hockey stardom, I left a lot of good things behind in my small town. Jolie Hunter was one of them.

As my best friend’s younger sister, she’s always been off-limits for me. I made her a promise on prom night to be her friend, to protect her. I meant every word I said.

It was an easy promise to make then, but now, thirteen years later, it’s a hell of a lot harder.

Stuck together at my parents’ ranch for two weeks, Jolie is everywhere and she isn’t the girl I remember. She’s all woman, with mischievous eyes and a dirty laugh... No matter how hard I try, being friends isn't how I feel.

Two weeks to keep my hands off the hottest, most forbidden woman in Starlight Canyon?

It feels impossible. But we can never cross the line.

Because what Jolie doesn’t know is, I didn’t just make a promise to her all those years ago. I made another that same day.

And it’s one that could break us both.

A small town, forced proximity romance about a protective hockey player and his best friend’s sister. Bourbon Breakaway is an ‘us against the world’, spicy romance with mature themes. It’s in the Starlight Canyon series of interconnected standalones.
