After graduating at the top of her class, she’s landed one of the most coveted internships in the United States. Hard work and determination have gotten her to this moment of living the life she only dreamed of growing up in foster care. She never expected Oz to be the greatest culmination of those dreams. But sometimes fate determines who you fall in love with. Who makes you lose control. Who owns your soul. Giving Chase by Lauren Dane When landscaper Kyle Chase takes notice of Maggie Wright, all of Petal, Georgia, wonders what the quiet schoolteacher is hiding underneath her tight bun and boring blouses. Even Maggie doesn’t quite get it, but she’s no match against the famous Chase charm, and Kyle has it in spades. Kyle wants Maggie in his life—and in his bed—and he doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to prove it. For years he’s avoided the kind of trouble that comes with “good girls” like her, but Maggie’s the best trouble he’s ever been in. After Hours by Lynda Aicher Assistant Avery Fast watched from a distance, mouth gaping, blood roaring wildly in her ears as she stared at the naked woman on the table before her. At executive Carson Haggert ordering a man to pleasure her. It made her feel guilty, embarrassed…and hot. Carson watched and waited. Waited for Avery to notice him in the Boardroom. Waited for her to like what she saw. Waited to see what she’d do the next day. And the next. He couldn’t stop thinking about the desire in her eyes, the flush on her cheeks. Working late has its rewards. Rough & Tumble by Rhenna Morgan Jace Kennedy lives for the challenge. He sees Vivienne Moore’s hidden wild side and knows she’s his perfect match, if only he can break it free. Earning her trust is a task unlike any he’s faced so far, but Jace didn’t get where he is by giving up. Jace is everything Vivienne swore she never wanted, but he loves just as fiercely as he fights. He’s proud of who he is and where he came from, and he’ll be damned if he lets Vivienne go before showing her the safest place of all is in his arms.

Can she win at love? Evie Baker lost everything that mattered. Her restaurant, her money, her self-respect. When she comes home to tiny Rochambeau, Louisiana, she’s looking for a fresh start. What she isn’t looking for is the tall, sexy, badass Cajun who stomped on her heart and left it for dead. Hostile Operations Team soldier Matt Girard isn’t home for long. He’s been ordered to stand down after a mission gone wrong. Above all, he’s supposed to stay out of trouble. Easy enough to do for a few days. Until Evie rolls into town with danger on her heels. Evie’s not a warrior. But Matt is. And he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it costs him everything he’s ever worked for. Because sometimes you don’t realize what you had until it’s gone. Or what matters most until you get a second chance… HOT ANGEL: She’s damaged. He's ruthless. Together, they're combustible... Brooke Sullivan’s carefully ordered existence is spiraling out of control. Two years ago, she was violently abducted by a terrorist group and nearly killed. She’s worked hard to get her life back on track—moving to a new house, changing careers, going on a couple of dates. When she witnesses a murder, she’s plunged into a new nightmare. And as the past threatens to repeat itself, she’s not sure she’ll survive this time. Cade “Saint” Rodgers never forgot the beautiful girl he talked to at the wedding of his commanding officer. Now she’s in trouble, and he’s the one tasked with protecting her. Brooke is terrified of men like him—a black-ops soldier for whom violence is a way of life—which makes falling for her a terrible idea. But that won’t stop Cade from using every sensual trick he’s got to make her believe anything is possible if only she wants it badly enough. As danger draws closer, it’ll take all Cade’s strength—and all Brooke’s determination—to learn how to let go of the past and trust each other. But it might not be enough. To keep her safe, he may have to let her go forever… HOT SEAL: Saving the world? No problem. Faking a relationship with his ex-wife to do it? Problem! When a terrorist steals a drug submarine, Navy SEAL Dane "Viking" Erikson finds himself thrust into his first HOT mission with an unexpected partner: his ex-wife, DEA agent Ivy McGill.

Ivy's on a mission of her own - to put the ruthless drug dealer she blames for her mother's death out of business for good. If she has to work with Dane to get it done, she will. And she absolutely will not fall for his hard muscles and killer smile ever again. Once burned, twice shy. But Dane and Ivy have never been able to keep their hands off each other. While they may believe that sex and love don't intertwine, they'll find out what's real and what isn't when a dangerous player takes matters into his own hands. They'll need to be more than a team to survive what's coming their way - and it's not going to be easy! BLACK LIST: Jace Kaiser is a man without a country, without connection. His only loyalty is to the group who saved him, and the man who leads them. Until her… The assignment should have been easy. Capture a deadly assassin and take her to HQ. But flawed intel leads to disaster, and Jace abducts a beautiful art appraiser instead. Intrigued by her courage, he’s drawn to her in ways he can’t explain.

Then Maddy is targeted for elimination because she’s the sole person who can identify the mysterious female assassin - and the only thing standing between her and certain death is the sexy mercenary who swears he’ll die before he lets anything happen to her. As the passion between them ignites, it seems clear that keeping Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of Jace’s life. Even then, protecting her might not be enough - because Jace has secrets that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to unmask them all…

What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.

2015 Goodreads Choice Award Semifinalist for Best Debut

Love always casts a spell . . . My name is Raye. Miss Larsen to my students. And I see ghosts. Like the freaky little kid in the movie said: They’re everywhere. In choosing my occupation, I tried to get as far away from the dead as possible. I figured I’d be safe in a kindergarten classroom. Boy, was I wrong. The first murder in decades brings New Orleans homicide detective Bobby Doucet to town. Our attraction is instantaneous. Bobby is on the trail of a serial killer and our victim fits the profile of the others, as does the next one. And the next. Life becomes dangerous, chaotic, damn near unbelievable. Covens, witch hunters, magic, a lone black wolf where she doesn’t belong and suddenly my life is in danger. Events in his past have caused Bobby to harbor an intense hatred of all things supernatural; he believes anyone who pretends to have psychic abilities is a liar, a charlatan and a thief. Which makes it kinda hard to tell him . . . the murder victims have been talking to me.

Preventing the Apocalypse, one demon at a time . . . Elizabeth Phoenix, Liz to my friends, just an ex-cop whose psychic abilities got her partner killed. Next thing I know, I’m fighting a supernatural battle against the Nephilim, monsters of Biblical proportion, intent on bringing about doomsday. If only I didn’t have to work with the one, the only man I’ve ever loved, half-vampire Jimmy Sanducci. That relationship did not end well and I haven’t forgotten, or forgiven, him yet. With new powers I’m unable to control, I’m forced to beg help from Sawyer, a powerful Navajo shapeshifter, a man who is sex in every form. As we spiral toward Armageddon, I’m caught between two worlds and two men. Will I succeed in saving us all, or will the world as we know it end?
