Coach Bradford has a dirty little secret… and it’s not (just) me. Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s football coach.

He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually flexed. He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt your… everything.

I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in his younger siblings’ weddings). Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length. I’d pretty much given up on landing this DILF, when an overbearing dad says my son is only QB-1 because I give the coach “special favors.” (I wish!)

Then my ex-con ex-husband starts threatening us, and the walls break. Coach Jack shows up at my door, sleeps on my couch, and his fight disappears. Being with him is beyond my wildest dreams. His secrets don’t scare me. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted… and more. Together, we’re a win, and at last I go from dirty little secret to dirty little wife.

The Way We Win is a small-town, single dad, single mom, football romance with a HOT high school football coach, a sexy librarian, Friday night lights, ALL the Bradford fun, SPICE, and a touch of suspense. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.

Allie + Jack’s story was everything I wanted, and you won’t believe what’s coming next! See my review of The Way We Win for details.

Sierra
Who do you think you are? I thought I knew until I accidentally discovered my adoring parents’ biggest secret on my twenty-fifth birthday. I am adopted. Part of me is missing, and I set out to find it.

Trying to figure out the past piece by piece, I bought a little fixer-upper in the small town I was given up in. Old lies will come out. Secrets that everyone is trying to keep buried.

Who am I really?

Caleb
When I needed a clean slate, I moved to Montgavin to start my own construction firm. Slowly, I built my crew after my success with the bakery renovation. When the newcomer in town wants to restore her house to its former glory, I trust no one but myself. Sierra looks lost, slowly putting her life together, with her dedicated room complete with a whiteboard.

Something calls to me to protect her and her secrets.
Someone wants her out of the town.
But now they have to get through me.

Loved Sierra + Caleb’s story so much! See my review of
Forgotten Dreams for details.

🔥Claiming
🔥Opposites Attract
🔥Virgin MC
🔥Glory Hole Hookup
🔥MM Romance

The summer before my senior year of college was supposed to be simple: lose my virginity, avoid all unnecessary drama, and keep my mind focused on my future career far away from this small town.

Easy enough.

Too bad my newly emerged omega instincts have other plans and my first heat cycle hits me like a freight train with no brakes and zero respect for timing.

What was supposed to be a one-time, anonymous hookup behind a glory hole has turned into a slick mess of heat haze, bad decisions, and way too much cuddling. Because the cocky, dirty-talking alpha on the other side of the wall? Yeah, that turns out to be Maverick—my brother’s best friend and the last person on Earth I should be moaning for.

And when the heat pheromones finally subside, will Maverick want to pretend it never happened, the way any sane person would after crossing the line with their best friend’s nerdy little brother? Or will he try to stake his alpha claim on me and ruin my future plans?

Either way, I’m in big trouble.

And possibly in heat again…

🍀Meet Cute Gone Wrong
🍀Cinnamon Roll Hero

Why does Mr. Perfect have to show up when I’m standing in the middle of the grocery store—in pajamas, with greasy hair, and clutching a tub of ice cream?

And why, for the love of everything under the sun, does our second meeting have to happen with me wearing a towel turban on my head?

Since my divorce, I’ve sworn off men. Zero dating. No exceptions.
But then, I meet Leonardo Garcia.

He’s charming.
He’s attentive.
And he’s the kind of man who opens doors and offers to carry your bags—a real-life gentleman.
The kind of man who makes me wonder if maybe I should give dating another shot.

But just as I’m starting to think about letting my guard down, someone from my past resurfaces, stirring up old wounds I thought I’d left behind me.

And Leonardo?
Turns out he isn’t quite what he seems either.

Suddenly, I’m questioning everything.
Maybe it is easier to live without men in my life…
Or maybe, just maybe, some risks just might be worth taking.

🏈single mom
🏈football romance

Margot’s a busy single mom juggling teaching, parenting, and trying not to die alone. Dating apps? Total nightmare. But desperate times call for desperate swipes, even if they make her break out in stress hives. When she matches with a guy who looks too good to be true, she’s convinced he’s a walking red flag—or worse—a catfish.

Dex is hot, and he knows it. A quarterback with a killer smile and looks to spare, he’s a good guy looking for a long-term relationship. He wants what his friends have: someone to come home to…and if they’re naked when he gets there, even better. When he logs on for a casual scroll, he’s not expecting to meet her. One swipe, and suddenly he’s hooked.

Margot’s convinced he’s a catfish. Dex has zero dad bod and no dad energy. But their sizzling back-and-forth leaves them both thinking “what if.” After a surprise run-in leads to a mind-blowing (and soggy AF) kiss, their opposites-attract energy skyrockets. Can they find a way to make it last?

I know better than to think there’s a future with a man like him. His priorities are clear: his daughter and his career. No room for complications. No space for me.

When my dad’s ticket to the LA Vipers’ annual charity masquerade falls at my feet, I know I should put it back. But the mask gives me the courage to be someone else for one night. 

Someone bold enough to go after what she wants.

And I want him. 

One night. No names. No consequences.

But will it be enough, or will it only add more gasoline to my already out-of-control obsession?

I made a deal with the devil to save my mother…
But is it really hell if I love the way it burns?

Tate

THE BIG BAD BULLY DOESN’T FALL FOR HIS PREY

Even if she smells like nutmeg, honey and sin.
Even if her chaos and color drips into your black-and-white discipline—and leaves it bleeding.

I was raised in a pack that worshipped bloodlines and power.
Humans were beneath us—soft, fragile, fleeting things.
Fine for entertainment. Never for mating.
Especially not for me, heir to one of the most ruthless alphas in the world.

So when my new alpha chooses a human bride, I grit my teeth and obey.
I’ll plan the wedding. I’ll tolerate their ridiculous customs.
But I won’t fall for her best friend—the loud-mouthed, paint-splattered activist who thinks I’m the villain in her revolution.

She calls me arrogant. Predatory. A corporate machine in designer suits.
She’s not wrong.
And yet, she’s always in my space. In my mind. Under my skin.
She stirs instincts I’ve fought to bury—possessive, primal, ruinous ones.

She thinks I’m the enemy.
But I’m not the danger in this story.
She is.

Because if I take what I want—
If I claim her the way my wolf demands—
I’ll break every rule I was raised to uphold.
And I won’t be sorry.

Big Bad Bully is the much anticipated follow-up to the Big Bad Boss trilogy by USA Today Bestselling Authors Renee Rose and Lee Savino.

🔥Grumpy Sunshine
🔥Slow Burn
🔥Found Family
🔥Matchmakin
🔥Romcom

She’s horribly unqualified…and everything they both need.

Travis
The last time I saw my ex-fling, she was toasting her engagement to a record producer. So when I heard she’d had a baby, I assumed he was the father…until she showed up at my house seven years later with a little boy and said, “Your turn.”

I’m a musician. My life is already loud and chaotic enough, and it’s definitely not kid-friendly. But I was raised by a nanny, and I see no harm in finding one for my son. Too bad he rejects every single person I hire. The only person he actually likes? Not a nanny. She’s a friend of a friend and the former floor manager at a brewery. But she has just enough childcare experience that I offer her the job out of desperation…and instantly regret it.

Hannah is a bossy, opinionated, loud-mouthed hurricane of a woman who tests my patience, my sanity, and my number one rule: don’t fall for the nanny.

Hannah
Let the record show, I am not a professional nanny. I did, however, raise my little brother, so I know my way around a juice box and a tantrum. Which is more than Travis can say.

My new boss is uptight, obsessive, and needs more help than his kid does.
I was determined to pop in, whip things into shape, and leave, but the more I get to know them, the more I want to stay…

LOVE ME STALK ME by @laurabishopauthor releasing September 26th!

#PreOrderNow https://amzn.to/42zZqQa

Why you will love this book…
😈 Dark Rom-Com
💼 Workplace Romance
🛡️ Protective Hero
👀 Stalker
🔗 Obsessive Hero
🐌 Slow Burn
❤️‍🔥 He Falls First
🚫💔 No Third Act Breakup

I love you, you stalk me.

IZZY:
Downloading an AI boyfriend app was supposed to be harmless fun.
A digital distraction from my disaster-prone love life.

What I didn’t plan?
Programming it to look like Callahan—the tattooed, brooding head of loss prevention at my store.

Those green eyes that watch me a little too closely.
That jawline that makes my heart race for all the wrong reasons.

But it’s just an app, right?
No harm in confessing my darkest, filthiest fantasies to a bunch of code.
No one will ever know.

CALLAHAN:
I hacked her phone.
And no, I won’t pretend it was an accident.

From the moment I saw her with a man who couldn’t be bothered to look up from his screen, I knew—she should be mine.
Now I’m her new head of loss prevention, which means watching her is literally my job.
Then she downloaded an AI boyfriend, made him look exactly like me, and started sharing every delicious fantasy she’s kept hidden.

Except she’s not talking to an algorithm.
She’s talking to me.
And now that I know exactly what she needs, I’m not letting her go.

Love Me, Stalk Me is a dark romantic comedy. Reader discretion is advised, as the book deals with some possibly triggering themes, but in a humorous way (hopefully).
