Hey Girl!
Check out these new releases from December 25th-31st.
Love’s Neutral Zone by Love Belvin
Maaz Zyad, number ninety-seven of the Connecticut Kings, wasn’t a big name in his first three seasons in the League. Thanks to his temperamental girlfriend posting and tweeting her every grievance about the Leagueand Kings franchise, Zyad’s become one of the most talked about players in the media.
The Kings cut him a contract extension with a huge pay increase under one condition. He had to get rid of the hyper-poster to keep his crown. That was an easy fix for Maaz. He made the swift decision and called on the competent team at Love Is Action sports agency.
Sundryia Matthews is a real estate investor and entrepreneur. She’s been Maaz’s mother’s protégé for nearly a decade. And she’s been his fixation since he was sixteen years old. Sundryia was off limits to Maaz, though she’d been around since his mother bailed her out of jail years ago. Oh. And she’s older than Maaz. Oh. And it must also be mentioned Sundryia dated Maaz’s older brother.
Forbidden love plagues this King. Well, it does, at least, until Maaz whisks Sundryia off to his family’s vacation home in Macen Beach to kick off the summer. Can he convince her it’s time to push beyond the lies created by their tawdry affair and pursue an honest romance he’s always wanted with her?
Publisher’s Note: Love’s Neutral Zone is book 9 of the Connecticut Kings series but can be read as a standalone. This book contains angst, violence, profanity, and sexually explicit content. If any of these elements is not what you prefer between the pages of a novel, this is not the venture for you.

On the verge of blurring lines with a long-time friend, she is ready to see what’s on the other side of incessant flirting, weighty promises, and ravishing fantasies shared over a recorded phone line. Cutting ties wasn’t a part of the deal but when calls go unanswered and promises are forgotten, she has no choice but to move forward with the shame, embarrassment, and insecurity of loving a man the world warned her she shouldn’t.

When he’s called on by the mother who abandoned him to help save his younger brother from going down a path he knows all too well, his heart won’t let him tell her no.

They’ve exposed their hearts in a way that connects you to someone for life. So when they meet for the first time, there’s a magnetic energy anyone in the vicinity can feel. Can Ruejae and Kamari heal from never being enough for love to discover the truth… that love was rooted in their DNA all along?

Angie thinks she’s found the perfect solution when her little brother, Zeke, offers to take her place but Piper disagrees. A weekend trip with Zeke is a disaster waiting to happen. It’s the exact type of disaster she’s been trying hard to avoid since a drunken kiss between them ignited sexual tension that begs to be explored. Piper cannot think of anything more stressful than spending her birthday weekend trying to resist Zeke. Once the dust settles, she realizes this might be the perfect solution after all. She and Zeke can spend the weekend getting each other out of their systems then return home and continue like nothing happened.
Zeke has been halfway in love with Piper since he was a teenager. He thought his desire for her was just leftover feelings from all those years of pining after his sister’s best friend but the kiss they shared proved him wrong. His feelings are real… strong… and very adult. He cannot believe his luck when he offers to accompany Piper to Mexico for her birthday and she reluctantly accepts. He doesn’t take her reluctance personally since he knows she’s only skittish because of the attraction she’s afraid to acknowledge. Zeke happily agrees when Piper suggests they spend the weekend exploring the sexual tension between them and calling it quits once they leave Mexico. Zeke wants more than a weekend fling, but Piper has been an unattainable dream for so long that he’ll accept whatever she is willing to offer.
It’s better to have her for a short time than never to have had her at all.
The trip is more than either of them bargained for and the harsh reality creeps in as the clock ticks down to their flight home: can a weekend possibly be enough?
