"I know the rules. I've always known them. Don't date the players. Don't cause drama. Don't embarrass Dad. I'm Scarlett Rivershon, and being the coach's daughter means I live in a world of unspoken boundaries.
Then I meet Aiden Wentworth.
He's sweet. Thoughtful. The kind of guy who rescues me from a makeup disaster and remembers how I take my coffee. He's also my dad's alternate captain. The one player I absolutely cannot fall for.
But I do.
And now we're sneaking around. Hiding our texts. Stealing moments. Because if my dad finds out? Aiden loses everything. His reputation. His position. Maybe even his career. But the more I'm with him, the more I realize I can't let him go.
Find out in Misconduct in Miami, a forbidden hockey romance featuring a heroine who finds her voice and a hero who risks it all for love."
"A new librarian's first day goes terribly wrong when she finds a dead body on the front steps of the library.
In the thirteenth installment of the beloved Lighthouse Library mysteries, a new character takes the reins.
While Lucy McNeil is enjoying her new job as the mother of twin boys and library director, new librarian Nichelle Gilchrest has just arrived at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, reporting for duty. But life throws a wrench on Nichelle's first day when she finds a body on the steps—a body that bears a startling resemblance to her father, who disappeared on a fishing trip to the Outer Banks thirty–eight years ago.
Fingerprints confirm the dead body is indeed Nichelle's father, now living in Nags Head under the name Brian Saunders. Brian had been befriending older lonely women in exchange for money, but was he working alone?
Detective Rhonda Thomas is on the case, and the suspect list is only getting longer. Sorting through the wronged women and their relatives, Detective Thomas discovers Nichelle's own brother Brad had been in Nags Head a few days before the murder happened and has been lying about his whereabouts.
Hoping to clear her brother's name, Nichelle decides to investigate what happened. With seasoned sleuth Lucy's gentle encouragement for the amateur, Nichelle is in for an exciting and dangerous first week at the library."
"I had one rule: never get involved with a driver. My career as a sports journalist depended on it. But I never planned on Caleb Collings.
The Formula 1 star is notoriously private and despises the media. He's also the only person who stood up for me when a misogynistic exec tried to tear me down.
To my shock, he offered me an exclusive tour. Then another. Now he's offering me a side of himself no one else gets to see. He's everything I should avoid, but I find myself drawn to his piercing blue eyes and the unexpected kindness behind his guarded walls. Falling for him could get me blacklisted, but walking away feels impossible.
Lights Out is the exhilarating first book in the Love in the Paddock contemporary romance series. If you like high-stakes passion and a forbidden workplace romance, you'll love Aven Ellis's new read."
"I call him a viper.
Sure, he's gorgeous, a young billionaire, and a power player in the London property scene, but I've known Rafe Hawkes my whole life. The partying playboy is like a snake on the prowl for prey when it comes to women. Looking for that first strike and the ability to hook a woman in with his charm and good looks.
But there's one woman he'll never get his fangs into. And I'm proud to say that's me.
Rafe is like a thorn in my side. Ever present, thanks to our friend circle, and utterly annoying. Whilst Rafe would never date a curvy perfumer, he lives to get under my skin and annoy me because it's practically a sport for him.
Not that I completely mind dishing it back to him, of course. We've fallen into this weird relationship of living to antagonize each other.
I thought I would always be content with that . . . until one night changes everything between us. Everything as I know it has completely turned upside down.
And I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it."

"The time I picked up an NBA superstar while looking like a swamp thing in a hair salon . . .
You see, I'm starting a new job on Monday at a sports TV network, and I was treating myself to a way too expensive cut at one of Miami's chicest hair salons in preparation when he walked in.
By he, I mean, a tall, inked, European, and breathtakingly hot NBA superstar named Antoni Nowak. And Antoni happens to be interested in me—despite seeing me in that awful salon lighting, with wet hair, and draped in a smock.
Me. I refuse to believe him at first. Antoni isn't deterred. Rather, he's even more intrigued when I fly my weird flag at full staff.
But when I go viral due to a most humiliating situation, I wonder how long it will be until Antoni realizes this is who I truly am and the novelty of dating me wears off.
Add in a coworker who feels I'm not just unworthy of a man like Antoni, but also an embarrassment to the network, and I suddenly find myself questioning my career, too.
