Do Over (Brooks Family Book 2) by Delaney Diamond

She’s devoted to her daughters.
Years ago, when her cheating husband left, Ella Brooks realized how much she’d changed and wasn’t sure how to get back to the woman she used to be. When she meets Tyrone Evers, the last thing she’s looking for is another relationship, but it turns out that the police detective is just too tempting to resist.

He’s devoted to his job.
Tyrone meets Ella when he’s investigating a break-in at her home, but ends up paying more attention to the wealthy socialite’s case, and her, than normal. After his wife cheated on him, he’s not looking for romance, he’s not looking for commitment, and he’s definitely not looking for love. But you don’t have to be looking for any of those things for them to find you.

And when life gives you a second chance, do you take it or run for cover?

The Lessons We Learn (FWB Book 2) by Alexandra Warren

Jayla Anthony had it all.
At least, that’s what it looked like from the outside. But from the inside looking out, she knew there was much more to life than her current situation. And when she decides to press the reset button on everything she thought she knew with her newly divorced status, her new occupation, and her move to a brand new town, she hardly expects that to somehow end up including the young, handsome security guard from her company’s building.

Khalid Irving is a man on the come-up now that he’s found a steady, good-paying job, a better living situation, and most importantly, a better outlook on life after a few years of no real direction. And now that he feels like he’s on the right track, he’s ready to pursue the woman who stole his attention the second she stepped into his building, even if that means he has to become her client first.

Jayla knows the risk of mixing business and pleasure. Khalid knows how bad he wants her. And when the two finally get together, the chemistry is electric.

But just because the fire is there, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a few tough lessons to learn along the way…

(Note: While this book can be read as a standalone, it’s HIGHLY recommended that you read, The Games We Play: FWB Book 1, first!)

The Pattels (Hawk & Raven) (The Pattel Series Book 1) by S.K. Hardy

*The Pattels (Hawk & Raven) is a cliffhanger. There will be two books for these characters. Part one is told from Raven’s point of view. The titillating conclusion will be from Hawk’s.

Assistant District Attorney Raven Randolph is determined to take down one of the most powerful crime families on the East Coast. The Pattels are an organization that has their hand on the pulse of underworld corruption. Almost any criminal act the authorities can name, the Pattels have committed them. Masters at keeping their illegal activities intricately hidden, the DA’s office has never been able to make charges stick. Raven plans to change that. However, she didn’t count on Hawk Pattel and her heart getting in the way.

The world has always been Hawk’s playground but with Assistant District Attorney Raven Randolph, he’s ready to put away childish things. In the beginning, he planned to sleep with Raven in order to manipulate her as he’s done with countless women before–especially since she’s coming after his family with both barrels loaded. It doesn’t take long to realize there’s something between them that goes deeper than just a physical attraction.

Hawk and Raven together equals a recipe for disaster. Yet, there’s always been a thing between them they just can’t ignore. Can two people from vastly different worlds find a way to breach the challenges that face them in order to be together? Or will the lies and betrayal that are revealed be too great to forgive–or forget.

The Pattels (Hawk and Raven) is the first book in the hot new series by National Best Selling author S.K. Hardy. It’s sexy, thrilling, and intriguing, all of the elements that S.K. is known for. This exciting saga is a story that will engage every one of your emotions: anger, happiness, laughter, and fear.

The Pattels is a spin off of S.K.’s previous bestseller, The Sin City Heat Series. However, it is not necessary to have read Sin City Heat in order to start this new series.

The Petals by Sabrina E L B Scales

The journey to and through motherhood is as unique and different for each of us as petals to a flower. Here are the stories of four very different women, navigating their way through love and motherhood in their own special way.
The Pact
Robyn is a sassy go-getter who unintentionally put motherhood on hold to pursue other endeavors. A pact made between she and her best friend, Marcus, when they were both too young to comprehend the weight of a promise, has finally reached its due date, and neither of them expected for things to get so complicated.

The Gift
Belamy is the owner of a local daycare, surrounded by children every single day, but unable to bear a child of her own. The guilt of her situation forces her to literally foster children in an attempt to fill the void, but her husband, Steven, has grown tired of licking her wounds when the temporary living conditions expire, and the children find forever homes. One particular child who falls into Belamy’s arms in the most bizarre circumstances, seems to be a perfect fit. But her permanent placement in Belamy’s heart could potentially take up more space than Steven is willing to share.

The Decision
Tremaine is a hard-working, independent, around the way girl, tormented by a past that has forced her to be reclusive. With no real example of a model relationship or model parenting, she avoids anything beyond physical intimacy at all costs. Until… Leif comes along with just as much baggage as she has, willing to help her carry the load. Somewhere along the way, a moment of spontaneity leaves the both of them sitting with a decision that will change the course of their relationship.

The Loss
Justine is a Preacher’s daughter who has done everything right for the most part. She fell in love with the man of her dreams, Khalil, when he literally swept her off her feet. A short while into their relationship, a tragic event takes place, leaving Justine with a difficult decision. She makes it, and is better because of it, until things fall apart in the worst way that any mother could ever imagine.

Loud and Lew’d: A Libidinous Novelette by Chencia C. Higgins 

His only intention was to blow off some steam. His peace of mind depended on it. He never expected it to go this far, for it to somehow turn into a call and response. But it’s too late to stop now and he wouldn’t even if he could. His favorite part of the week is the two hours he spends on his podcast. He can be honest and erotic in a way that would be considered highly inappropriate in his everyday dealings, and no one of importance—not his family, friends, or coworkers—know anything about this part of his life. Under the cloak of anonymity, he can be as loud and as lewd as he wants to be.

An Unforgettable Love by Marie Nash

Greg Douglas was nervous. He was seeing Andrea again tonight and he was going to tell her how he felt about her. He was nervous because he wasn’t sure how she would react to him being an FBI agent.
When they met he figured they would spend some time together and once his assignment was over he would go his way and she would do the same. It wasn’t working out that way. He didn’t expect things to get serious between them. Over the last few months, he had fallen in love. Something he never anticipated. He couldn’t imagine living the rest of his life without her now.
He planted a bright smile on his face as he knocked on her door. A moment later the door opened and his smile spread wider. Andrea was grinning back at him looking sexy as always. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans with an off-the-shoulder top, showing off her smooth brown shoulders.
“Good timing,” she said pulling him inside and closing the door. “I just got out of the shower. I’m sorry I had to cancel our date but we had an emergency and I couldn’t leave. Did you have dinner? I could fix you something.”
“Don’t worry about me I’m fine. I grabbed something earlier.” What about you?” Andrea warned him when they started seeing each other that there may be times when she would have to work late. Depending on the situation, maybe hours at a time.
“I grabbed a sandwich at the hospital. I’m used to eating on the run. Come sit down.”
Greg sat down and she snuggled close to his side. She so enjoyed being with him. She frowned. He felt a little tense and she looked up at him. “Is something wrong?”
“Depends on how you look at it. I need to discuss something with you.”
She scooted back a little and faced him. “What’s going on? I can feel the tension in your body.”
He reached for her hands and held them as he gathered his thoughts. “I know we haven’t known each other long but I feel as though I’ve known you forever. One thing I am clear about is how I feel about you. I love you, Andrea. I want us to continue to see each other after I finished my assignment.”
She looked puzzled. “What assignment? I thought you worked for a pharmaceutical company.”
“I know and I let you believe that. I’m sorry.”
Andrea looked at him strangely. “You lied to me. What exactly do you do?”
Greg swallowed the lump in his throat and answered her question. “I work for the FBI.”
“The FBI?” She eased up off the sofa and put some distance between them. What had she gotten herself into? He looked harmless enough but what did she know? The FBI. And then another thought came to her.
“Am I under investigation? Is it someone in my family? Is that why you pursued me? Why you’ve been sleeping with me under false pretenses? She was stricken. “I can’t believe I’ve been so dumb.” She turned her back to him and blinked back the tears threatening to fall. “I hope you enjoyed making a fool of me. I want you out of my home.”
“I can’t do that. Not until I explain things to you. I am not investigating you or your family. I would never deceive you like that. I didn’t expect to fall for you. I didn’t tell you my true occupation because I’m undercover. And I knew you would have questions if I told you what I did for a living.”
Andrea turned back around. “Of course I would have questions. Is Gregory Douglas your real name?”
“Yes. And what I told you about my family is true.”
“How do I know you’re telling me the truth now? How can I trust what you say?”
Greg closed the gap between them. He was afraid this would happen. He wanted desperately to remove the look of distrust he witnessed in her eyes. It killed him to see her stare at him as if she didn’t know him. As if the last two months had never happened. He could see the future he envisioned with her slipping away.
“Please, believe me, baby,” he pleaded.
