Because Of Lila
(Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach #2)
by: Abbi Glines
Exp. Publication Date: July 11th, 2017
Synopsis:
Prim, proper, classic good girl, and her least favorite label – icy.
Lila Kate Carter has heard them all. The last one, being the newest. She is not icy. She just doesnโt care for Cruz Kerrington and his spoiled, selfish, careless ways. That doesnโt make her icy, that makes him a jerk!
Tired of being labeled and doing what is expected of her, Lila Kate leaves Rosemary Beach, Florida ready for an adventure. Wanting to recreate herself, find a new path, and become something more.
Eli Hardy is tired of women who always act the same, do the same thing and expect the same thing. He’s ready to swear off women until he can get the rest of his life together.
Two weeks into his no-women-rule he meets Lila. Sheโs so damn sweet and polite. Like she walked right out of an etiquette book. But heโd already been drunk before she walked in so there was a good chance she might not be as stunning and perfect as he thinks. Heโs just too drunk to worry about that.
The next morning, he swears he can still smell her on his skin. He just canโt remember why or what happened after that third dance.
Their worlds are about to collide, and so are the secrets and lies
Beautiful Mistake
by: Vi Keeland
Exp. Publication Date: July 17th, 2017
Synopsis:
A sexy new standalone from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland
The first time I met Caine West was in a bar.
He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out.
When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straightโtelling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass.
You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend–smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married.
He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he’d done.
Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant.
Only it turned out, the man I’d just told off wasn’t the right guy.
Oops. My mistake.
Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology.
I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right?
Thatโs what I thoughtโฆuntil I walked into class the next morning.
Well, hello Professor West, Iโm your new teaching assistant.
Iโll be working under youโฆfiguratively speaking.
Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thingโworking under Professor West.
This was going to be interestingโฆ

Stella Santos is fine.
Maybe something terrible happened to her that she canโt even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like sheโs on the verge of breaking because of it.

And maybe sheโs been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who donโt even know her, but hate her all the same.
But none of that matters because sheโs just fine.

Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when heโs there. Angry when heโs not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesnโt.
When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacyโbetween both friends and strangersโRyan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if sheโs willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, sheโll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore sheโd never be again.

The problem is, I canโt stop thinking about my new partner. I hate her, but I crave her like sheโs the most intoxicating thing Iโve ever encountered.
