Running with the Enemy by Lloyd Lofthouse

A US Marine is framed for a crime he didn’t commit. He has a choice to make, save the woman he loves, or prove his innocence. He can’t have both.

“Obviously drawn from the author’s first-hand experiences as a Marine serving in Vietnam … a rough but occasionally heartfelt war story … is quite good and has a lot to say about the nature of the conflict.”
— Judge’s comment from 21st Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.

Can the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society help an extroverted sportswoman and a dedicated scientist solve matters of the heart?
Diana Hemshawe is enjoying the perfect life—her first season in Regency society, racing her beloved horse, and the companionship of the ladies of the Wagering Whist Society. When her father has a heart attack, she has to refocus her energies on nursing him back to health. Balancing responsibilities shouldn’t be too difficult for someone as resourceful as Diana … except for the charming and thoughtful doctor who is so very distracting.

Andrew, Lord Colburn, used to be passionate about just one thing—pursuing the cutting edge of medical research. Now his excitement in discovering a new cure for his patient’s heart disease is warring with his growing fascination with the man’s clever and spirited daughter. But can he learn to balance his loyalty to patients with his desire for her?

It will take all the guile of the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society to ensure that Andrew and Diana have a sporting chance at love.

Dani and the Outcast by R.E. Hargrave

Dani and the Outcast by R.E. Hargrave

NEW RELEASE FROM R.E. HARGRAVE!

A princess.
A tramp.
A hunger for revenge.

Danielle Olivier has never wanted for anything material—some labeled her spoiled, a princess—and yet, she has a heart of gold. Unlike her father. Of course, as the head of the Olivier Crime Famiglia in Louisiana, he can’t afford to be soft. Or kind. Her station in life also means Dani has grown up under an ever-watchful eye. From private tutors to a driver, not to mention two nutty nannies with a penchant for 70s classic rock, she’s rarely had a moment to herself. When her father’s watch dogs aren’t hovering, her mother is—fretting and nitpicking Dani’s appearance, posture, fashion… anything and everything are fair game to her mother, including choosing her friends. It should be a fairytale existence, but if Dani can’t chase butterflies and fall down her own rabbit holes, dire consequences and all, the next best thing is to lose herself in simmering sauces and aromatic spices. And getting all the doggy cuddles from her best friend Dame.

Antoine Desjardins was raised by his maman and auntie in the 15th Ward of New Orleans. With no father figure urging him “to be a man,” he spent a lot of time in their small kitchen, watching, learning, and dreaming of bigger things. Brighter kitchens. Fusion flavors bringing not only palates, but people of all walks, together. Maybe even finding love one day. Young and full of life, working the French Quarter lets Juan set his own hours and decide how he wants to bring home the pay. How much of it gets added to his cooking school savings fund, however, depends on how hard he hits the pavement, and how many trades he’s Jack of. Not every day in the Quarter is peachy keen, though. Not when seen as a panhandler, and prejudice steers customers away from his dark skin and unusual accent. And not when having an ear to the ground sometimes uncovers things he’d be safer not knowing.

Returning from boarding school in France to the house Dani grew up in the Garden District may prove to be the excitement Dani has been looking for. Or it may bring the hardest lesson she’s ever had to learn. Things are different with her parents, and all clues indicate her father is up to no good.

Love hurts, and knowing who to trust, when feelings and judgement run deep, is almost impossible to do.

About Featured Book: The Holiday Plan: An Utterly Charming, Feel-Good Romance by Emma Lynden

From one of the freshest new voices in clean and wholesome romantic fiction, The Holiday Plan is the perfect escape for fans of Courtney Walsh, Annie Rains, and Debbie Mason.

Native New Yorker and author Verona Scott is battling heartbreak, both personally and professionally. Coming off a disastrous split with her ex, she’s struggling for inspiration to write her next book. And she’s lost without her favorite Aunt Theoni’s wisdom and guidance.

Hoping for a fresh start and to avoid the holiday completely, she’s planned a Valentine’s detox: a luxurious trip alone to the historic Courtington Castle hotel, near the adorably quaint town of Camelot Creek, tucked into a picturesque valley in the Adirondacks.

But escaping the heart-shaped balloons and red roses isn’t as easy as she thought.

This won’t be the restful retreat she’d imagined. Instead, she’s just walked into one of the biggest matchmaking events of the year. Not to mention, the incredibly attractive single dad and dating coach Troy Turner is heading the whole thing up, and he’s on a mission to include Verona in the festivities.

Troy is in the midst of a professional crisis of his own. After a bit of unfounded bad press, the very last thing he needs is a guest to cast doubt in the minds of his attendees.

Will Troy change Verona’s mind about the most romantic day of the year? Just when sparks begin to fly, an unexpected visitor checks into the castle, stirring up the past. No matter what, for Verona, Valentine’s Day is the day where everything changes.

A heartwarming, sweet romance that will whisk you away to a magical winter wonderland and have you reaching for the hot cocoa and box of chocolates long after the holidays.

Pretty Broken Girl book cover
About Featured Book: Pretty Broken Girl by Jeana E. Mann

From USA Today bestselling author Jeana E. Mann comes this unconventional spicy story of star-crossed lovers who love to hate each other and their paths to redemption.

Gorgeous. Ruthless. Filthy rich.

My ex-husband Sam wasn’t always that way. In the beginning, he was just the son of my mom’s boss—strictly off-limits for a trailer park girl like me. I loved him beyond reason from the moment we met. We were way too young to get married, but we did it anyway. Despite his angry, billionaire dad. Despite the lies. Despite the deceptions. That crazy teenaged love drove me to do a terrible thing. I saved Sam but broke my heart in the process.

Ten years later, my workday starts with a corporate takeover. My new boss? Yep, you guessed it. That gorgeous, ruthless, filthy rich ex-husband is bound and determined to dismantle my company. Piece by piece. Job by job. He’s bent on revenge for my betrayal.

The problem? We can’t keep our hands off each other. He thinks he can break me. I think he’s about to learn a lesson.

This is an angsty, enemies-to-lovers, office romance with all the feels.
