  If the Shoe Fits

  Megan Mulry

  The only thing worse than being in the spotlight is being kept in the dark…

When he pursues her all the way across the pond, he discovers that Miss James has no intention of being won over by glitz and glamour—she’s got real issues to deal with, and the last thing she needs is larger-than-life royalty mucking about in her business…

  Sultry with a Twist

  by Macy Beckett

  Welcome to Sultry Springs, Texas: where first loves find second chances…

  Nine years after June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs with her heart in pieces, one thing stands between her and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a bogus warrant from her tiny Texas hometown. Now she’s stuck in the sticks for a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend.

  If Texas wasn’t already hot enough, working side-by-side with June would make any man melt.

  For West Coast filmmaker Bobbi Gallagher, going back to Sultry Springs is a last resort. But with her career in tatters, a documentary set in her hometown might be just what she needs to salvage her reputation. She just can’t let anything distract her again. Not even the gorgeous contractor her brother asked to watch over her. As if she can’t handle filming a few rowdy Texans.

  Golden boy Trey Lewis, with his blond hair and Technicolor-blue eyes, is a leading man if Bobbi ever saw one. He’s strong and confident and—much to her delight—usually shirtless.

  Black Knights Inc.

  by Julie Ann Walker

  New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

  He’s the heartbreaker she left behind…

  Jake “the Snake” Sommers earned his SEAL code name by striking quickly and quietly—and with lethal force. That’s also how he broke Michelle Carter’s heart.

But to steal back into Michelle’s loving arms, Jake is going to have to prove he can take things slow. Real slow…

No matter what they call him, this man is far from cold-blooded. And once he’s wrapped around her heart, he’ll never let her go…
