A RAKE NEVER CHANGES HIS SPOTS (THE INHERITANCE CLAUSE) BY SAMANTHA HOLT
Release Date: January 21, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Lord Seth Templeton has no desire for life to change. He enjoyed every minute of his bachelor existence. Anyway, his older brother, the Marquis of Eastbrook, partakes in enough seriousness for one family. His reputation as a rake has never caused him any problems…until now.
Now, he must find a wife. And quickly.
According to the terms of the inheritance, he must be engaged within two months or forfeit his grandfather’s money—money that would save his family. Finding a wife would be easy enough for a man like Seth but he’s certainly not ready to settle down. Surely there must be a way out of this situation…?
In search of a solution, Seth finds himself in the depths of a place in which he never thought he’d set foot...
A library.
He also finds himself spending time with the clever Miss Prudence Hartley. The woman is a whizz with books and the law, and is thus, extremely useful to Seth. He needs her—for her strangely vast brain only of course.
After all, what does it matter if he likes the way she pouts as she reads a book or furrows her brow in concentration? He’s a rake. And nothing will change that.

SYNOPSIS
Family ties run deep in the heart of Texas.
Who knew that having the Dalton looks—dark hair and blue eyes—would deem Justus as a trustworthy person? That’s exactly what happens when a friend of the family turns up on the Daltons’ ranch and thrusts a baby at him to watch because nobody else is home. After she leaves, he realizes he doesn’t even know her name—or how to care for an infant.
Tuesday is one of the most sought-out hairstylists in three counties, and she’s got problems. Not only is she raising her irresponsible teen sister’s baby as her own but she is shorthanded in the babysitter department. And boy does she dump a surprise on that cute cousin of the Daltons’ when she asks him to watch the infant so she doesn’t lose her client.
Justus finds himself helping out the busy single mom several times, and he can’t help but admire more than her sexy curves. Tuesday is mouthy and knows what she wants, two things his momma would claim as his traits too. She’s looking to provide a home and a good life for the child she’s adopted, but Justus makes her stop and smell the sweet grasses… as they tumble in them, that is. Things are heating up, and he doesn’t want to walk away. But is he cut out for fatherhood and if so, would this single-minded, strong woman let him in?

Former Navy SEAL Jed Tremayne knows discipline, hard work, and how to carry a rifle. So when his two best friends die suddenly and leave their daughter, Nala, in his care, Jed’s a little out of his element. Though he wants desperately to connect with her, Nala has withdrawn further and further into her books. Jed just needs a little help, and decides to hire a nanny, and who better than someone who loves to read as much as Nala does? Sure, Tess Frederick is a bit too intriguing, a little too sexy in an adorably unconscious way, but she instantly connects with Nala so Jeb gives her the job.
Tess likes things ordered. But lately, her well-planned life has descended into a bit of chaos. Haunted by the suicide death of her former lover, and recovering from her bookstore going out of business, an open position for a private tutor seems like the perfect job to take while she figures out the rest of her life. Nala is an adorable and intelligent little girl and the two have an instant connection. Her guardian, Jed, is another matter altogether. Too good-looking. Too intense. And too sexy by far. If Tess can just get through the next few weeks with her heart intact, all will be well. The thing with hearts, though, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to turn hers off.
But as Jed and Tess begin to fall for each other, an unknown danger threatens their burgeoning love, a danger that blindsides them both and threatens their very lives—and the life of the little girl they both love. Can two broken souls find the strength to conquer this dark menace or will they be lost in the fight to survive?
This novel contains sexual content, violence and profanity.

SYNOPSIS
Rule #1: Never fall for your client.
Rule #2: Never fall for your client’s fiercely protective, smoking hot sister-in-law.
I’m the kind of guy who believes that everyone deserves the best legal representation money can buy—which just so happens to be me, Lucas Wright. Give me your henpecked, your cuckolded, your irreconcilable differences yearning to break free! And if you’re the bad guy in your marriage, that’s cool too. Your green is as good as anyone’s.
Tell that to Trinity Jones. It’s my job to destroy her sister—the soon-to-be ex-wife of my a-hole of a client—and Trinity’s “big sis” instincts are dialed up to the max. I admire that. I admire her. But she won’t stop me from representing my client to the best of my ability.
Not even if my chemistry with Trinity is undeniable. Not even if we can’t keep our hands off each other. Not even if she injects life into a heart assumed to be long dead.
Because when faced with a choice between love and duty, the job will always win—or at least that’s what I thought before I met Trinity . . . and suddenly conflict of interest never felt so right.

A MOUNTAIN MAN FOR VALENTINE'S DAY BY DEJA VOSS
Release Date: January 23, 2019
SYNOPSIS
“I got you. You’re going to be alright. You’re safe now.”
It was the last thing that I heard before everything went black. The last thing I saw was the bearded face of the mysterious and gorgeous mountain man. The last thing I felt was his big strong arms wrapped around my body, pulling me from the snow, and for some reason, I believed every word he said.
Julia Carmichael spent her days slaving away at the office, and her nights hunched over her keyboard, trying to get her graphic design company up and running. A girls’ weekend with her newly divorced best friend seemed like a great opportunity to get out and enjoy some snowshoeing, but when a freak snow storm and a runaway dog put her life in danger, her entire world was turned upside down.
Clayton Billings had seen enough of the world during his time in the army. He moved to the mountains to open a ski resort with his best friend, and tried to stay out of public eye, taking care of maintenance and putting his rescue skills to work when guests found themselves in a jam. He thought he was living the mountain man life of his dreams until he found Julia face down in the snow on Valentine’s Day.
Something about her was different than the other tourists. Something about her made him want to protect her, love her, keep her for his own…
Trapped in a tiny cabin, snowed in with nowhere to go and nothing to do, will Cupid’s arrow make this a Valentine’s Day to remember?
A Mountain Man for Valentine’s Day is a steamy but sweet 30,000 word novella with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

When his best friend and teammate asks him to take his visiting sister to a rock concert, he isn’t expecting the sultry, leather-clad vixen that has his jaw dropping.
Force of nature Kristina Papdakis feels like two separate people sometimes: The demure, proper Greek girl she was raised to be, and the badass rock musician she could be. She’s never had a problem keeping her worlds apart until her brother’s straight-laced but oh-so-hot teammate stumbles into both of them, creating a collision she wasn’t looking for.
As Royce and Tina explore an unexpected but undeniable passion, they soon discover that love isn’t always enough. Opposites might attract, but they’ll have to learn to compromise if they want to last. Royce has to be willing to give up control long enough to tame Tina’s gypsy soul, before she wanders away for good.

DASHING: A ROYAL CINDERELLA BILLIONAIRE STORY BY SOPHIE BROOKS
Release Date: November 16, 2018
SYNOPSIS
The Prince needs a nanny...
Prince Nickolaus is a single dad with a country to run. He expected a no-nonsense nanny to care for his children, not the pretty young blonde the agency sent. Cara is cheerful, fun-loving, and mischievous. Nico hasn't been any of those things--not since a tragic accident in a country he's vowed never to return to.
Romance is the last thing on his mind. He needs fewer distractions, not more--but the beautiful young American just might make him question that policy.
The nanny needs a win...
After Cara Andrews' career abruptly ends, she jumps at the chance to work for an upper-class European family. She's shocked to discover her new boss is Prince Nico. For years, the former hard-partying playboy was plastered over U.S. tabloids.
The prince is still gorgeous, but he's almost as hard to reach as his children. But Cara is determined to make a difference in this family's life--even if it means laying open royal secrets, kissing a prince, or telling off a queen.
This is no fairy-tale, but with Cara's charm and persistence, she may just go from servant to Cinderella.
***Dashing is a full-length romance novel with steamy scenes, no cheating, and a very happy ending***
