Then You're Mine by Willow Winters
I wish I’d known before it got to this point so I could have stopped it. I'd have chosen her above all else... if only I could go back. Even if it meant never getting to kiss her, to love her, to be consumed by the woman she is and the love she gave me. The only thing I know as truth now is that it’s all my fault and it’s all too late. Her dark eyes hold obvious pain and misery, so much regret, but more than anything I know she looks back at me, her grip slipping, because she loves me. She has no idea how much I love her, though. This can’t be how our story ends. I’ll burn the world down if that’s what it takes. I’m never letting her go.
The Right Song by Michelle Mankin
He wasn’t just a rock star to her, and she wasn’t just any woman to him. JACK HOWARD is a gorgeous rock star with a tragic past. He's a nice guy. Since that terrible day, he has strived to do the right thing. Only with his disastrous marriage finally ending, he’s decided it’s time to take a walk on the wilder side of nice while on this tour. LORELEI LANE is a working girl with no future. She's a beauty in disguise, a woman broken by circumstances trying her best to turn her life around. She's hungry, homeless, and needs someone to believe in her. Her furry traveling companion Prince loves her, but his faith can only take her so far. JACK is the handsome drummer and backup vocalist in Rush's group. He has impressive rhythm and sexy moves, but the world seems to have forgotten that he was once a teen idol in New Horizon, the most popular boy band in music history. LORELEI is a woman who hides her heart, denies her talent, and does what she must to survive. She never allows herself to think about the boy who betrayed her, or the time she got so close, only to fall short of making her dream come true. When chance brings Jack and Lorelei together backstage, will one night lead to a new beginning for both of them or will dangerous secrets and past mistakes capsize any hope they have for happiness?
Never Marry Your Brother's Best Friend by Lauren Landish
Opposites attract? In theory, maybe. In reality, doubtful. When my brother’s best friend asks me to fake marry him to secure a business deal he desperately needs, I laugh in his face. Me help Carter Harrington? That’s split-your-pants, rip-roaring hilarious. I don’t even like him. Besides, no one would believe I’m Carter’s wife. It’s ridiculous. He’s tall, blond, and attention-grabbing gorgeous. I’m short, curvy, awkward… and usually invisible. He’s never met someone he couldn’t charm. I can barely talk to friends, much less strangers. He’s a workaholic that lives and breathes money and business. I prefer to lose myself in my art. Believability factor of us as a couple? Zero. But when he puts his hand on my thigh, pulls me to his side possessively, and whispers dirty things in my ear that make me go liquid, all the reasons why we shouldn’t be together start to fade away. And when we’re forced to share a bed to keep up the charade, this fake marriage begins to feel real. Dangerously real. What's a girl to do when the man she can't stand starts to feel like her husband?
How to Lose at Love by Sara Ney
I needed a good girl to save my bad reputation. With too much on my plate, the very last thing on my mind was a relationship—the football draft was looming and dating got in the way. I never understood why my teammates bothered with girlfriends. None of us had the time. When my sports agent suggested that being seen in public with a respectable girl would be good for my bad reputation, I couldn’t think of a single person to help me out. The only girls I knew weren’t wifey material, and the ones who were? Might catch feelings. Except Ryann Winters. Responsible. Sarcastic. Smart. Ryann was perfect but there was one clincher: she was my teammates ex-girlfriend and I had recently been paid by him to dump her. Not the best start to a fake relationship…
Thorn by Brooke Harper
They expected me to bend. To wilt. But this rose has thorns too. I have no family. No life. No dreams. I have nothing left. My father and Nikolai made sure of that when they made me a pawn in their mafia games. A broken woman. A tainted bride. A bargaining chip. That’s all I am to them. But things are changing. I am changing. Learning. Growing. Rising from the ashes anew. At first, I didn’t understand what Nikolai woke in me when he used my body for his revenge plot. But now? Now, I have plans of my own. He may think I’m his Rose to claim, to dominate, control, but I am a rose steeped in war and born from bloodshed. It’s about time I live up to my name.
