A standalone romance novel published by Montlake Romance By: New York Times Bestselling Authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward Release Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 SYNOPSIS:It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed. He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after. But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. It’s getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined. Something new. But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . .Photo/Cover Details: Photo Credit: Tijana Vukovic Model: Dusan Susnjar Teasers by: Luna Sol To read an excerpt of Hate Notes, click here.PURCHASE LINKS:Add to Goodreads ➜ http://smar-turl.it/xys920 Amazon ebook➜ https://amzn.to/2Q1U6xa Amazon Print (Currently on sale!) ➜ http://smarturl.it/x5h99h Amazon Audio ➜ https://amzn.to/2zR81AE Amazon print UK (Currently on sale) ➜ http://hyperurl.co/32k3q7 Please Note: Because Hate Notes is published by Montlake Romance, a division of Amazon, the ebook and paperback will only be available on Amazon.

About the Author
Western Romance has always been my first love but I also write hot contemporary romance under my pen name A.L. Simpson.
In my Western, I love to write about knock 'em down - drag 'em out fights, outlaws, bank robbery, stage hold-ups and romance.
In my Contemporary's I write f/m, m/m and m/m/f. I usually draw on experiences for these and they usually cause more than a few tears for the readers.
When I'm not writing I enjoy walking our dogs - 2 elderly Jack Russell Terriers - with my husband and traveling both overseas and in Australia.

Long Road Home by Stacey Lynn Publication Date: November 5th, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance I left home ten years ago, promising myself I’d never return to the place where I had never been accepted. I was despised and ridiculed for circumstances completely beyond my control. But when my grandmother passes away, I’m forced to return to Kansas. I will have to face everyone who hated me. But they’re not who I’m most afraid of. My biggest fear? Facing him. Jordan Marx. The boy I once loved more than life itself. The boy who defended me from them. The boy I’d disappeared on, leaving him nothing more than a horrible nasty lie and hastily scribbled note. When Jordan finds out the secret I have carried for so long, I’m in for the battle of my life. Or so I thought. I might have wandered for years on a path riddled with thorns but with Jordan by my side, taking the long road home means more than reuniting with the only man I’ve ever loved. It might just mean finding myself, and the family I never thought I could ever have along the way. Download your copy today!

You know those stories where the smart girl tutors the dumb jock? This isnât it.
Blair
Whatâs the probability of insulting the one guy on campus I need to help me pass statistics? If I knew, I wouldnât be standing in front of Wes Reynolds begging him to tutor me.
Basketball player, sexy, arrogant, always sleeping through class⦠these are the things I knew about him. What I didnât know is that he is a seriously smart jock.
Wes
Whatâs the best way to get rid of the peppy and unrelenting girl that keeps asking me to tutor her? If I knew, I wouldnât be staring at her tan legs and attempting to teach her statistics.
Sorority girl, fine as f**k, determined, ball buster⦠these are the things I knew about her. What I didnât know is that she is all the things I didnât realize I wanted or needed.
Or that one semester with her would change everything.

Excerpt
âRise and shine,â Joel says as he nudges me. Iâm not asleep. I wish I were. My eyes are closed, hat pulled down, but thereâs no sleep to be had.
âSheâs coming back for more.â The tone in his voice is almost inspired.
I donât have to look up to know who heâs talking about, but I do anyway. Sheâs the most entertaining thing about this class. Open my eyes and lift the hat, turn it backward so my view isnât the least bit blocked.
Today sheâs wearing little pink shorts that show off tan legs, yellow tennis shoes that donât match but somehow work, and a bracelet with a little charm around her left ankle. Itâs too small to make out, but I stare anyway. Her brown hair is pulled up in a high ponytail, and she has a megawatt smile plastered on her face. A big bow on top of her head is all sheâd need to look like head cheerleader of my high school fantasies.
âWes, hey, can I talk to you for a second?â
âWhatâs up?â
Iâm hella impressed by the balls on this chick. Sheâs put her foot in her mouth, not once, but twice, and damn near insulted the entire student athlete population, but she keeps coming back. She has determination and grit. I admire that about her.
I also am not in the least bit offended by her assumption that Iâm a dumb jock. Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât surprised she came right out and asked who my tutor was, but I know exactly what it looks like. Iâve fed into the stereotype for years, doing nothing to make it seem otherwise. Well, nothing but get straight Aâs.
âI have sort of a favor.â
âWhatâs up?â I stand to walk with her out of the class.
âThe tutor center was a bust. I know you said . . .â She looks like sheâs choosing her words carefully. âDo you have old study notes or tests from previous semesters?â
âStill convinced Iâm not capable of passing on my own, huh?â
âIâm sorry, really, no offense. I just want in on whatever study materials youâre using. I canât afford to fail another test. Whatâs your secret?â
The secret? Iâm fucking smart. Photographic memory smart and statistics is my whole world, but I canât resist messing with her.
âYou know, saying no offense doesnât make whatever youâre saying less offensive. It just makes you feel better about saying something offensive.â
Joel snickers behind me. I just canât resist fucking with her. Sheâs making it too easy.
âSorry. Iâm really so sorry. What about the other guys on the team? Anyone have any awesome math tutors who arenât available to us non-jock students? I can pay.â
âCouldnât say for sure, but I donât think so. Most the guys hold their own academically.â I lean in catching a whiff of her hair. It smells goodâlike sugar cookies or candy canes or something sugary sweet that I want to sink my teeth into. âShocking, I know.â
Her shoulders slump in defeat, and I can tell sheâs finally accepted that I have no answers for her. At this point, I almost wish I knew of someone to send her to. I donât exactly travel in circles that clue me in on secret study sessions and underground tutor societies.
âThanks anyway.â She gives a little wave with the hand clutched around the strap of her backpack.
Joel catches up to me, and we watch as she crosses the campus toward the library. âDude. That chick . . .â
âI know,â I say, and we continue to stare after her completely awe stricken.

Michelle's Review
The Assist by Rebecca Jenshak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is my first book by this author and letâs say Iâm impressed. Her writing is wonderful and the story was unique and fun. With basketball being my favorite sport, I am so glad to see someone giving us stories involved around it. We get lots of other sports related books but basketball is few and far between. The characters are the type you automatically fall in love with. And not just the main characters, I loved the secondary characters as well and canât wait to see where this series goes next. Great all around read! View all my reviews

When Sydney left Seattle two years ago, she was scared, traumatized, and done with men for good. Now she has a good job, a hobby that's fast becoming a second career, and best of all, she's adopted a little girl named Angel. Life is good and Sydney's not about to let charming lawyer Derrick mess that up, no matter how sexy he is, or how sweet he seems.
Things aren't always as they appear in the town of Great Oaks, Virginia. Derrick isn't the ladies' man Sydney thinks he is, but he does have a few secrets, such as the ability to transform into a powerful wolf at will.
Can Derrick convince Sydney to give him a chance, something more than her elusive maybe? More importantly, should he? He's still trying to forgive himself for being at the wheel during the accident that killed his son. Losing Sydney when she learns the truth might break him, but he's pretty sure not having her in his life would be just as bad.
A troubled woman running from her guilty conscience has Sydney and Derrick in her crosshairs, and she'll do whatever it takes to win her game. Will Sydney and Derrick survive long enough to be together?

About the Author
A few years ago, I read my first romance novel and I was hooked, so much so that I decided to give the idea of writing a story a chance. My style is more gritty than sweet and I look forward to writing many more stories with strong heroines and imperfect but determined characters. Love, courage, hope, and second chances are a few of my favorite themes. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time outside and finding ways to avoid cooking. I live in beautiful Virginia with my husband, two daughters, and a sweet, hairy monster of a dog.

Check it out here. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

After checking in at the lobby, I went upstairs to the apartment. A motherly looking lady, possibly in her fifties, opened the door with a bright smile.
“Hello, I’m Mrs. Romana, but everyone calls me Mrs. R.”
“Hi, I’m Aly, the nurse’s assistant.” I showed her the laminated badge Leah had made for me.
“Yes, please come in. Mr. Ellis is sleeping right now.”
She welcomed me in. I walked into the modernly decorated room definitely a bachelor space, no doubt. I looked around the wide living room with large windows and fantastic view.
“Come with me. I’ll show you your room and around the house.”
I nodded and followed her. She led me into a simple-style bedroom, and as I placed my bag on the bed, she showed me the connecting bathroom. I followed her around the house as she showed me the other bedrooms and Mr. Ellis’s office.
“Please don’t go in his office unless he calls you or sends you there. He’s very particular about that.”
I nodded my understanding.
Once back in the kitchen, she showed me his medications and instructions. He’d just come home from the hospital earlier that day from an outpatient surgery of his knee. He was going to need someone in the house with him.
I listened carefully as she explained his routine. She’d be here for a few hours during the day to clean and prepare his food. My job, as she explained, was to care for him when she wasn’t there.
“Since you are here during the day, why does he need me here full-time?” I asked.
“Well, I may need to go out during my hours here to complete errands, and I also cannot spend the night. Besides, I agree with his mother that we’ll all feel better knowing someone is here all day to help him without having to worry about hours.”
I nodded my understanding.
Mrs. R. was very pleasant, and she made me feel at home for the first time since my mom had died. I hadn’t realized how I had missed the motherly attention.
She was starting to talk about simple stuff. It was nice talking to her about school and everyday life. She made me lunch, and we laughed together at funny stuff. We had just cleaned up our plates when I heard a deep voice interrupt our conversation.
“Mrs. R, I need my meds, please.”
“Coming” she responded. She turned to me after grabbing the pain meds and bottle of juice. “He’s a big baby. Can’t take medicine with water unless it is flavored. Come with me so you can meet him.”
I followed her, heading to his room. She knocked gently; then entered. I had no expectation of him—after all, there wasn’t a picture of him in the living room, and I hadn’t stepped into his office. All I knew was he was young and fresh out of knee surgery. Nothing could have prepared me for the earth knocking me off my axis when I laid eyes on him.
I was no virgin. That part had gone out the door in my eighteenth year on Earth. Even with my dad’s overbearing love, I had kissed a few frogs in college. Not a relationship; just a few un-princess worthy moments in the sack.
But this one with his left leg resting on pillows and his knee wrapped in bandage, leaning his upper body on the headboard in a crinkled white undershirt and board shorts, his muscular, sculptured arm revealing some of the toned body and tan hidden by the shirt, his short black hair roughened from sleep… As my eyes fixated on his masculine face, the sexy gray eyes with full lashes that shouldn’t be on a man-captured my eyes. Clean-shaved face with lips that looked like they were begging me for a kiss. Time stood still as I gazed at him.
Mrs. R spoke, making us break our gaze of each other. “Kyle, here is your Motrin.”
Only then did I notice she had moved around while my eyes had been fixated on him. He accepted the meds, swallowed them, then returned his eyes to me.
“Meet Aly, your nurse’s aide. She will be helping you when I’m not around,” Mrs. R said.
My three easy weeks had just gotten downright messy. Three weeks with him was going to be very dangerous for my mind and body. I would have introduced myself, but I stood, tongue-tied, not sure what to say to him.
“Ms. Aly,” he expressed in an icy tone.
“Hi, Mr. Ellis pleased to meet you,” I responded.
His tone snapped me out any crazy fantasy of us I might have had.
“Aly, make sure I get my next set of Motrin in four hours. If I’m sleeping, wake me. I can’t stand this pain, and I hope Mrs. R has filled you in on my expectations.”
“Yes, she has.”
“Would you like to eat now, Kyle?” asked Mrs. R.
“No,” he replied.
Mrs. R began adjusting his pillows as she spoke. “You know, not eating isn’t an option for me. Unless you want me to start feeding a grown man like you,” she said in that motherly tone that gave one no option.
“Fine. Bring me what you have,” he grumbled.
“Now that is more like it.” She turned to me. “Come on, Aly.”
