Who knew a simple selfie could be a recipe for disaster?

Defensive Hearts by Alley Ciz is now live! 

Chance

The day I saw Gemma Steele’s delicious body wearing nothing but a few scraps of lace, I knew being traded was the least of my problems.

Her sexy text may not have been meant for me, but that image is not something a warm-blooded man could ever forget—no matter how badly he wants to. I’ve tried to resist her, but I can’t seem to escape Little Miss Suzy Sunshine. Every interaction is rife with tension and animosity, until it boils over, and we cross the point of no return.

That’s when I know I’m screwed, because now when I look at her, all I think is: Mine.

Who knew a simple selfie could be such a recipe for disaster?

Gemma

The first time I met Chance Jenson, I was into the whole broody-bad-boy thing.

But then he opened his mouth and I quickly realized he’s not just a little moody—he’s the grumpiest jerk to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. I wasn’t having any part of it. I agreed to cook for his dogs, but promised myself that the only thing he would ever eat are his words.

I spent more than a year doing my best to hate him, but when Chance’s lips land on mine, I feel…conflicted.

I don’t want to want the jackass.

I certainly don’t want to have feelings for him.

Unfortunately for me, my heart seems to have other plans.

What the hell am I going to do?

**DEFENSIVE HEARTS is an enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with hella sexual tension featuring a sunshiny personal chef, a grumpy hockey player who’s jealous his dogs get all her love, and a sexy selfie that pushes this possessive alphahole over the edge. While this hilarious romance stands alone with its HEA, you won’t go wrong catching up with the best girl gang around–The Covenettes–in the rest of the BTU Alumni series.**

BLOGS REVIEW

Defensive Hearts is book seven in the BTU Alumni series and while each can be read as a standalone I prefer to read them in order as you see this crew grow, change and feel like you have a connection with all in the series. In this book we get Gemma and Chance. Their love-hate relationship was spot on and it is actually quite funny how she connects with Pebbles/Bam-Bam and does things to irk Chance. She is the chef everyone loves and he's the grumpy alpha hockey player. IN this crazy knit of family/friends there truly is no privacy so any person who wishes to be with someone better expect all involved. It is funny and heartwarming at the same time.  I still wanna join the Covenette's haha. The tension is on with these two, it will just take a little time and defense to get a little push into their hearts. I highly recommend this series or any series by this author cause there is not a time when you don't laugh with their crazy antics and comments (oh and GIFs).

 

Laura Pavlov has revealed the gorgeous cover for Into the Tide!

Releasing: March 16, 2023

Photographer: Madison Maltby

Cover Designer: Hang Le

Lila James is my best friend's little sister and I've always looked out for her.
She's five years younger than me, and when she left for college, she was just a kid.
But now she's home for the summer—and she's definitely not a kid anymore.
She's beautiful and smart and everything I didn't know I needed.
Dark eyes. Long wavy hair. And legs that are meant to be wrapped around me.
I'm the guy who likes to have a good time.
Keep things light.
When her brother asks me to hire her at my restaurant, it's a no-brainer.
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for her.
Until she asks me for one more favor.
She wants me to be her first.
Take her V-card.
Go where no man has gone before.
Her words, not mine.
And damn if I don't want to go there more than I've ever wanted anything.
She's only here for the summer, and she says it will be our secret.
It's temporary.
We'll go back to being just friends at the end of summer.
She promises that she won't fall for me.
She knows better.
But Lila isn't the one I'm worried about.

Promise Me Always by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should know better than to let Tessa McDaniels pretend to be my fiancée.

I'm a dark, dangerous disaster who leaves destruction in his wake.

But when she offers to pretend to marry me to help me get my kids back, I can't refuse. They are the one thing I have left to fight for.


Milo Hendricks found me at my lowest.

Battered and broken by my ex with no place to call home. When he insists I stay at his cabin with him, he sparks the feelings I've tried to suppress.

He's only supposed to be my friend, but every time he comes in the room, he makes my knees weak.

This gorgeous, tatted, mountain-of-a-man who's riddled with secrets.


Tessa is everything I crave but can't have.

I shouldn't touch her.

Shouldn't make it real.

But she's a red-headed flame I can't resist, and I can't help but take her to my bed.


Now we're falling into an abyss of passion and need.

Loving her is easy.

Only we're tied in ways we don't know.

I'll do anything to protect her, but it's my past that might destroy her in the end…

Blogs Review

Promise Me Always is book four in the Redemption Hills series and while each can be read as a standalone I say they are best read in order as you see how far they have all come when it comes to not only relationships, but how they redeem themselves in this small-town. Milo and Tessa had that spark in the prior books, but reading this book makes your heart hurt between the two with the turn of events that transpires. I will say it was fate that lended a helping hand with these two as the circles came around for them. I highly recommend this series and author.
