Synopsis:
Tiny van. Enormous feelings.
Charley Beekman is thriving . . . if you overlook that she’s financially strapped, stuck in a dull legal career, and the youngest divorcee at the Ruth’s Chris Steak House. After being left by a man she was sure was too boring to ever leave, she’s figured out that the key to true happiness is protecting yourself from surprises. So when her free-spirited sister announces she’s eloping with an on-again, off-again childhood sweetheart, Charley knows she has to stop the wedding before her sister makes the biggest mistake of her life. Conveniently, Charley’s best friend, Ethan, who’s as gorgeous as he is chronically unreliable, has an extra seat in his camper van.
As Charley and Ethan embark on a wild road trip through the enchanting northern woods of Minnesota, Charley starts to feel something she’s ignored for years—a spark that threatens to turn into a full-blown bonfire. But after crashing and burning at marriage despite her best-laid plans, the last thing Charley needs is a fling with a noncommittal, irresistible, nomadic musician . . . right?
Hilarious, witty, and teeming with heart, Anywhere With You is the perfect escape for anyone who believes that sometimes the best destinations are the ones you never planned.

But when Silver finds herself in danger, he forgets why he was giving her the cold shoulder to begin with.
The thing is, Silver didn’t forget.

She’s determined to live her life, but with Webber always on the edge of her existence, she knows it’s futile.
But she tries.
The thing is, there’s no way you can ignore Piers Webb when he’s aiming that dark and deadly gaze your way.
She’s determined to keep him at a distance, until one night she has to pick him up on the side of a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. That one moment of need on his end is all she needs to realize a few things.
He’s as scary as he wants her to believe, and killing a man and disposing of a body is a daily practice for him.

But she’s always proven she makes bad decisions.
But Piers Webb is going to be the best bad decision she’s ever made.

Play Me
By: Adriana Locke
Release Date: August 15th, 2025
kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/4ogA5TZ
Synopsis:
He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me.
I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was.
My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.
Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god.
Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn.
A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn.
Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me. And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should.
But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played?
Run The Play
(Nashville Rampage Series, Book Two)
By: Kaylee Ryan
Release Date: August 19th, 2025
Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IS5lsf
Synopsis:
NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Run the Play is a fake dating, found family, workplace, he falls first romance.
Rowan
I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.
Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.
He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend.
I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.
Landry
I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through.
So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.
There’s a good chance I was never faking.
This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.
This Memory
(Moose Village Series, Book Three)
By: Kelly Elliott
Release Date: August 19th, 2025
Amazon: https://amzn.to/475R0T5
Synopsis:
Brystol
I’ve been in love with Gavin since high school. He broke my heart back then, something I’m not keen to forget, which makes our current situation challenging. Our best friends are married, and we’re constantly thrown together because of that connection. When those same friends ask me for a favor, one that is life-changing for all of us, I don’t even question how close it will bring me to Gavin. I simply say yes.
Gavin
I’m not sure what I did to turn Brystol against me, but whatever it was, I’m ready to make amends. I might even tell her that she was all I could see back in high school. When our best friends ask Brystol to be their surrogate, I have mixed feelings, to say the least. Nothing will keep me from supporting her in every way possible because among those feelings are admiration and love for the kind girl I used to know…and even more for the woman she’s become.
Neither of us were prepared for the trials and tribulations that come with not just pregnancy but the surrogacy process—including the strain it can put on everyone involved. Nor could we predict the powerful emotions or the sheer joy of growing a life. There is no way we could have predicted the heartache that would follow.
Each book in the Moose Village series can be read as a stand along, but it is recommended by the author for a better reading experience to read them in order.
Saving The Rain
(Crimson Ridge Series, Book Four)
By: Elliott Rose
Release Date: August 26th, 2025
kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/44VUjeh
Synopsis:
Forbidden love heats up in this spicy, age-gap rodeo cowboy romance from internationally bestselling author Elliott Rose.
All it takes is eight seconds for your world to come crashing to a halt. What happens when you’re injured, stuck with the one man who makes your blood heat in a way you’ve never experienced before?
I’ve been on a path to redemption. Kayce Wilder, former screw-up. The bareback bronc rider with big dreams. I had it all figured out.
Only, I didn’t count on a ride gone wrong to leave me with no other option than to ask for his help. Zeke Rainer. Raine. The gruff cowboy covered in tattoos, surrounded by mysteries.
We’ve been at odds forever. Rivals in the arena. Two rodeo riders in pursuit of the same buckle . . . before he left me behind, without warning.
My stepbrother.
When urgent help is needed to run the ranch, he’s the last person I want to be relying on for a favor. As the fall nights lengthen, tension and angst thicken the more time we spend alone together.
I shouldn’t be noticing so many small details—especially not how strong his hands look while working with the horses—and I certainly shouldn’t be wondering if he thinks about me as much as I think about him.
I’ve never been attracted to a man before. It would be unthinkable to be drawn to him. Wouldn’t it?
