Restraint by Mari Carr

Blake has hometown hockey hero life completely figured out, a dream job, zero commitments, and an endless parade of admirers celebrating every win. Erika has enough on her plate as an ER doctor without adding a fun-loving, commitment-phobic neighbor and a co-parented stray puppy to the mix. Yet somehow these two keep finding reasons to be in each other’s orbit, charity galas, thunderstorms, stolen kisses, and excuses that grow harder to explain away. Blake cannot stand watching Erika date someone else, and Erika cannot quite explain why his arms feel like the safest place in the world. Mari Carr writes slow burn romance with a playful heat and a knowing wink that keeps you smiling from the very first page. Readers who love their hockey heroes reluctant and their love stories deliciously complicated will absolutely devour Restraint, the perfectly charming story of two people who never saw each other coming!

The Hero by Donna Grant

Navy SEAL Owen Loughman knows how to survive anything, control is his weapon, distance is his armor, and emotion is a luxury he cannot afford. But Natalie Dixon has always been the one weakness he could never quite bury, the woman he loved and left behind. When violence strikes close to home and an unseen enemy closes in, Owen is forced back to the one place and the one person he never truly escaped. Natalie rebuilt herself after betrayal and loss and she has no intention of letting him back in, until danger makes him the only man she can trust. This romantic suspense scorches with intensity. The Hero is perfect for readers who love their heroes battle-hardened and their love stories hard-won!

What People Are Saying: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a gripping romantic suspense filled with danger, devotion, and a love worth risking everything for in the first book of her Sons of Texas series.

Target Zero by Jack Mars

Elite CIA agent Kent Steele barely catches his breath before the agency pulls him back in, this time to hunt down terrorists and stop a biological weapon from devastating the world. An assassin tracks his every move, moles lurk on every side, and a lover he cannot fully trust keeps him guessing at every turn. His memory is returning in dangerous flashes, and each fragment reveals a little more about who he was and why powerful people want him dead. Another Jack Mars thriller with relentless, continent-spanning momentum! The deeper Kent digs into the conspiracy, the more he realizes his own identity may be the most lethal secret of all. Fans of breathless, globe-trotting spy thrillers will find their next late night obsession in Target Zero, a propulsive ride across Europe that is worth forgoing sleep to reach the last page.

Skeletons in the Closet by Jennifer L. Hart

Maggie Phillips needs extra cash, so when her wealthy new neighbors offer her a cleaning gig at their sprawling mansion she grabs the bleach and gets to work. The house is stunning, the paycheck is generous, and the husband collects medieval torture devices because apparently that is just a normal hobby. When Mrs. Kline turns up dead, the police lock onto the creepy collector and Maggie finds herself sandwiched between a murder investigation and a man who knows far too much about the Spanish Inquisition. Now she must uncover the truth before she becomes the next relic in his collection. If dirty jobs, foul mouths, and a nose that never minds its own beeswax sound like your kind of fun, Skeletons in the Closet is calling your name and trust us, it is an absolute blast!

What People Are Saying: “This is the first book I have read in this series. It is a fun cozy with humor and a few twists to keep it interesting.” – J JY, B&N Reviewer

The Island House by Elana Johnson

Six months after the words “I met someone else” shattered her world, Charlotte Madsen lands in Getaway Bay with a divorce, a dream, and a run-down house overlooking the bay. She plans to renovate the house and rebuild herself at the same time, a tidy plan that falls apart the moment she finds a tall, handsome stranger under her kitchen sink. Former Air Force pilot Dawson Dane brings easy charm and carefree laughter into her carefully guarded world, but he carries his own complicated baggage and has never committed to anything but the open sky. The Island House is a second chance romance with a warmth and gentleness that makes every page feel like sunshine on salt air. Pack your bags and lose yourself in Elana Johnson’s beautifully hopeful story that reminds you it is never too late to start over and open your heart again!

What People Are Saying: “Loved the story, LOVED both main characters. Both had to heal from past hurts. Glad they got their HEA.” – MaryEllen, B&N Reviewer
