Whoever said out of sight, out of mind must be crazy.
 
There wasn’t a day since I left that I didn’t think about her.
 
As much as I wanted to stay with her in Boulder City, it was never an option.
 
Caroline had big dreams of becoming a chef, and I’d just signed my rookie contract.
It was the chance of a lifetime for both of us.
 
After years of no contact, I’d assumed I’d lost her for good, but when I injured my pitching arm, I was given a second chance to right the wrongs from the past.
 
This is my last chance and the biggest payoff pitch of my life.

How quickly we’ve fallen back into old ways surprises me. Maybe I’ll be able to pull off being just friends after all.

“Now, go take a shower while I make lunch.” I clap my hands and rub them together like a mad scientist. “Where do I begin?” Kathy did a fantastic job stocking this refrigerator with all sorts of gourmet foods. I run through a recipe in my head that I think Micha will like and will work with the ingredients on hand.

“Caroline.” Micha’s deep voice close to my ear makes me jump.

“Damn it.” Lost in my thoughts, I hadn’t heard him approach. I clutch my chest. “You scared the crap out of me.”

“Sorry.” His brow furrows like he’s struggling with something.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong…” He pauses like he’s carefully considering his words, then leans closer and whispers, “…I’m glad you’re here.”

And just like that, the friendly back and forth we had a few seconds ago is obliterated. I’m pulled back to when kissing and exploring each other’s bodies were a regular part of our lives.

The air is thick with sexual tension and no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the energy to look away.

His gaze lands on my lips.

I resist the urge to lick them and draw in a staggered breath. My hands find their way to rest on his hips while my legs turn to jelly.

His blue eyes look deep into mine.

Is he going to kiss me? Do I want him to kiss me? Should I kiss him?

Blurb:

The last person I ever expected as my assignment is Dean Kraygen. Middleweight Champion of the World and Sexiest Man Alive.

 

He thinks I was hired to be his fake girlfriend. What Dean doesn’t know is I’m to gather intel and protect him from someone who has been making threats to distract him from winning his last fight.

 

Sure, any woman would kill to be in my shoes. But I don’t like him. I loathe his kind and his world all because of my past.

 

But he got to me. Little by little, the walls I built start to crumble.

 

What was supposed to be a facade, has become all too real, and I have no choice but to resist him, at all costs, or I will be destroyed for good.

 

Resist is the first book in The Broken & Beautiful Series and an extension of The Broken Hero Series. Resist is also a crossover from Till I Found You and Distracted and features the hero and heroines you’ve gotten to know and love..


About Michelle Fernandez:

Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense and Military Romance are her most favorite genres, and loves happily ever afters… who doesn’t? Which is why she started writing in the first place. It started as a hobby. One chapter turned into ten, then a novel was born.

Title: Things We Hide from the Light

Series: Knockemout Series Book 2
Author: Lucy Score
Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 21, 2023
Bestselling author Lucy Score returns to Knockemout, Virginia, following fan-favorite Things We Never Got Over with Knox’s brother Nash’s story.
Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.
Too bad Lina’s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she’s in town, he’ll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn’t do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she’s after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people’s skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he’s not about to be dissuaded…even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

Title: Pucking Nothing
Collection Title: Players & Sinners Club

Genre: Sports Romance (Sloth/Hockey)
Cover Design: Touch Creations
Organization: Rewritten Fairytales
His kind of broken pairs perfectly with hers.
Unless an almost murder charge and a bad name count for something, Knox Moore’s hockey career is over. Not officially, but thanks to the media incriminating the innocent, he hasn’t just been skating on thin ice… he’s been dragged through the mud so bad, not even the Zamboni can fix it.
Needing a place to level out his head and escape the pressure, Knox surfaces up in the small town where his dream started–the very place he vowed never to return to. Whether Knox comes looking for motivation or a reason to hate his family even more, he finds something entirely different: a beautiful disaster.
Stevie Winlow can’t risk falling for someone. Not now. Not in this town. Not when her mom is on the verge of a breakdown and she’s hanging on by the ink on her planner. Letting someone in, even just a little, may ruin her entire setup… but Knox’s kind of damaged makes him irresistible. And he finds Stevie’s motivation addictive. Until he discovers the reason behind it.
Then he’ll wish he hadn’t.
Pucking Nothing is a standalone hockey romance lightly laced with mystery and the kind of angst that comes with a second chance at life. It’s jam-packed with family drama, a touch of innocence, and an addictive plot twist.

One swish of the hoop.
One shot in the dark.
Two souls to save.

Without the distraction, the pain he had buried surfaces, making it hard to focus. That is, until he meets his tutor, Justice Whitlock. The one woman on the campus who hates the player, on and off the field. Sinfully gorgeous or not, Rourke comes with a permanent spotlight, and Justice comes with a target on her back. Falling for Rourke isn’t just a risk that can end in a broken heart, it’s a death sentence. One that can end two lives.
