Amara
Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.
I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.
That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.
Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.
I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.
Tyler
Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.
I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.
She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.
That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.
It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.
Series Information:
This Southern wedding party went to Florida to watch their best friends say ‘I do’. But instead of the groom kissing the bride, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen are the ones doing all the smooching!
Let the games begin.
The Kissing Games, that is.

Blurb from Book 1:

Zoe Sinclair was a runner.

 

The moment she finished school she packed up and took off leaving behind everyone who knew and loved her. Including Spencer.

 

Spencer McLaren thought he had it all.

 

Zoe was the girl of his dreams and now they were finished with school, their lives could begin. At least that’s what he thought until the moment she packed up and left him behind.

 

Years passed without a word and Spencer moved on. At least he was trying to. But the moment Zoe unexpectedly arrives back in town, his world is upended once again when the girl he fell in love with turns out to be the woman he needs to save.

 

Can Zoe and Spencer overcome a lifetime of love and obstacles to finally get their happily ever after or have there been too many secrets left unsaid to give them a chance?

 

Coming Home is the first book in the Finding Your Place series. It’s a book filled with first love, secrets, second chances and unexpected twists.

Title: Bleeding Chaos
Series: Love & Lyrics
Author: Nikki Ash
Release: March 23, 2023
Genre: Friends to Lovers, Rock Star Romance
 
 
 

Gage
I lost my first love. This time, I’m going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes.
Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that’s been suffocating me since what happened to Tori.
When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can’t help but wonder if she could be my second chance.
I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first.
Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom.
The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that’s not hurtful enough, it’s not just any baby.
It’s my baby.
Sadie
Bleeding hearts can still beat. I’m living proof of that.
At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own.
I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force.
My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both.
So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby.
I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I’m out of it, it’s clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material.
But then we meet again, and I’m reminded of the man he could be.
The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some readers. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.
 
 
 
★★★★★ Controlled Chaos Review – “Do not start this series if you plan to go to bed anytime soon . You fall in love with the characters and you can’t stop turning pages, one of the best series I’ve ever read.”
★★★★★ Silent Chaos Review – “This book broke my heart and mended it at the same time.”
★★★★★ Total Chaos Review – “Wow! This book was so much more than what I was expecting. I am loving the Love & Lyrics series….”
 
★★★★★ Bleeding Chaos Review – “By far the most emotively consuming, and thus perhaps most the rewarding, of the Love and Lyrics world. Bleeding Chaos will break your heart- but it will also heal it too.”

Doctors of Eastport General is a brand-new Contemporary Romance series. Get ready for all the naughty nurses, dirty doctors, and patient shenanigans that take place in Eastport General.
Dr. Frank Enstein spent years becoming a sought-after cosmetic surgeon, and not for the same reason as others in his field. For him, it wasn’t about tits and it certainly had nothing to do with ass. His motives were deeper, purer; something only someone with a similar tragic past would understand. Putting up with long lines of superficial women demanding exuberant changes to perfectly fine bodies was a means to an end, and finally it was all paying off.
An assignment with a new burn unit at Eastport General Hospital was the job he wanted—a place where he could really make a difference.
When a busty barmaid tries to start up a conversation, she threatens to drag him back into the practice he left behind. No matter how attractive she is, that could never happen.
Taking a step backward isn’t part of the plan, but perhaps it should be.
Can a Grumpy Cardiologist Open His Heart?
Dr. Christopher Hartwell is a grumpy and no-nonsense cardiologist at Eastport General. But when he is forced to team up with Dr. Emerson Sims, a vibrant and bubbly cardiologist known for her witty perceptive and creative approach to medicine, he is challenged to reevaluate his beliefs. Christopher believes Emerson could not save his father, a fellow cardiologist who died during surgery, and holds her accountable. But as they work together, Christopher begins to see that Emerson is more than meets the eye, and he must learn to open his heart if he is ever to understand the power of true healing. Dr. Change of Heart is a story of healing, forgiveness, and second chances.
She thought she had all the answers.
Brilliant Neurologist Cynthia Haywood is a rising star at Baltimore’s most prestigious hospital just one step away from the coveted department chair. Everything she thought she wanted was within reach.
A family tragedy forces her to rush off to her sister’s home in Eastport Rhode Island, where she is thrust into a perplexing small town world and the added responsibility of caring for her eight-year-old niece. But that’s not her biggest challenge – it’s him, Simon. He’s the problem.
The dreamy next-door neighbor with the adorable puppies who becomes an immediate distraction. She should be focused on her family. She should be concerned with returning to her medical career back in Baltimore.
Yet, she feels the pull of the kind neighbor who whispers words she never knew she needed to hear and has her heart racing. He’s the calm she never knew she needed.
She knows she should keep her distance. She knows she didn’t rush to Rhode Island for a love connection. She knows a lot of things – but one kiss from Simon jeopardizes everything she ever thought she knew.
Will the attraction be enough for her to jeopardize her big city dreams? She doesn’t know.
After the worst breakup of my life, I’d needed a change. I needed to get my focus back on my life and my career. That was how I ended up in Eastport, Rhode Island. I was in the beginning stages of purchasing a large OB/GYN practice from a local doctor who was retiring. It was also where I met Bella.
She was working at the local bakery I frequented, The Cooling Rack. Being with Bella was unexpectedly liberating. There were no rules, no expectations beyond the current moment, no demands. She was loving, and so gentle with my broken heart.
That summer became all about recovery, not only for me, but for her as well. I’d told myself that was all it was. We weren’t supposed to get serious, and at the end of summer we would go our separate ways.
Months passed, summer ended, and Bella left Eastport.
Thoughts of her consumed me, and I realized that there was no getting over Bella. Then one morning, I walked into my next patient appointment and was shocked to find Bella standing in front of me.
It started by accident. Then it became more intentional. Know what wasn’t intentional? The resulting pregnancy.
S.L. Sterling’s Doctor Right is a surprise pregnancy romance in the Doctors of Eastport General Series.
Come on in and meet the new ER Physicians, Surgeons, Specialists, Residents, and patients that occupy the rooms and halls of the largest hospital on the coast of Rhode Island. You may even run into some of your favorite doctors from Season 1. We hope you are ready to fall in love with all the new sexy stories that take place inside the walls of Eastport General Hospital.

Kendall
My life has been an endless loop of heartache and breakup songs.
I’ve lived in fear that I’m broken and will never find the kind of love that would piece me back together into something whole.
When my boyfriend proposes, I say yes, desperate for an easy fix. For a super-glue solution.
But, on the day of my wedding, when my dad tells me to follow my heart, it doesn’t lead me down the aisle.
Instead, it takes me straight to Declan Pierce’s car—where I crash his road trip.
The more time we spend together, the more he shows me it’s okay to be broken.
With him, lyrics aren’t just words on paper.
Promises aren’t just whispers in the dark.
And having a few cracks…well, they help the light come through.
Declan
I’ve had feelings for my best friend’s sister for as long as I can remember.
Watching her jump from guy to guy, I’ve been biding my time, waiting for the right moment to tell her.
And then she does something I never thought she’d do…she gets engaged.
This is the part where I’m starting to accept that the woman I love will never be mine.
Until she jumps into my car in her wedding gown and tells me to floor it.
With Kendall in my passenger seat and the past in the rearview mirror, I plan to do whatever it takes to show her that she doesn’t need super glue.
She needs to find the beauty in the cracks.
