Fractured Kiss: A Fractured Rock Star Romance

By L. M. Dalgleish / Genre: New Adult & College, Romance

Fractured Kiss: A Fractured Rock Star Romance

What started with a kiss just might end up breaking all his rules—and her heart…

For guitar tech Cassie Elliot, being trapped on tour with her suddenly-ex-fiancé is like a bad dream.
She never expected to be rescued from her nightmare by one of the hottest rock stars in the world—Zac Ford, the enigmatic, sexy bass player for Fractured.
One impetuous moment, a kiss that shouldn’t have happened, and now they’re stuck pretending to be in love.
She’s determined not to develop real feelings for a man who’s only doing her a favor, though.
Because Zac may have kissed her, but that doesn’t mean he wants her.
And there’s no way falling for him could end in anything but more heartbreak…

Zac let his control slip one time, and now his distractingly pretty guitar tech is staying on his tour bus, sharing his hotel room, and looking at him in a way that almost makes him forget what’s real and what’s not.
But fake is all their relationship will ever be. Because there’s no way he’s going to allow himself to get emotionally involved with any woman.
Particularly not one who goes against all his rules like Cassie.
The music, the fans, and getting his next album finished—that’s all he cares about.
And he won’t let one little kiss change that…

Penelope's Pursuit : (Westward Home and Hearts Mail-Order Brides Book 19)

Are mail-order brides changing their minds, or is something sinister going on in Kansas?

Ten years ago, Penelope’s sister ran away as a mail-order bride, and it was the last their family ever heard from her. Now, with their parents dead and Penelope all alone, the young woman has one goal. Find her sister.

It took enough grit for Reuben to write to Mrs. Mildred Crenshaw about finding him a wife in the first place, but when the train arrives and no bride steps off, the whole thing feels like a confidence scheme. Investigation, however, sends chills down his spine as he realizes women are leaving the east for the west but many never arrive at their destinations.

Is it any wonder that Penelope is livid with the man who abducts her from the clutches of her new friends and rides off into the sunset with her? Is his explanation reasonable? Can she convince him to help her find her sister? Can she trust him?

And is she about to fall in love with a homesteader on the untamed prairies of Kansas?

A Highland Lass for the English Duke: A Scottish Medieval Historical Romance (Highlands' Games Of Power Book 4)

London’s women will not let an outsider take their Duke.
Lissie Duncan’s family desperately needs money, and no one can think of a solution. Determined to solve the problem herself, Lissie offers to go to London to find a rich husband, turning marriage, a pleasurable pursuit for many lasses, into a matter of life and death.

When she arrives at the home of her distant cousin who lives in London, there is immediate awkwardness as her cousin begins making comments about her hair and clothes wondering how she’s ever going to stand out in London. Although a bit discouraged, the Highland Lass pulls herself together and tries to look her best for her first ball.

There, the only man that draws her attention is William Rothingham, the breathtaking Duke of Iverst. Unfortunately, every woman tries to seduce him since William is both a wealthy Duke and the most handsome man in the room. Thus, Lissie decides to rule him out as winning his heart would be too hard, and she is there to fulfil her duty, not to fall in love.

Yet, the Duke finds the Scottish lass that completely ignores him intriguing! No one has ever disregarded him before, and when Lissie leaves, he follows her in order to meet her. Now, the lass will find out how London women can destroy the reputation of a girl they envy… Should Lissie endure the hardships and trust that she can capture William’s heart, or is she a one-night prize for him?

Make Me Blush: A Small Town Single Parent Romance (Oil Barrons Book 3)

Not everyone flees a steamy back seat session without an explanation but that’s how my new single mom life starts out.

From Marie Johnston comes a small town romance with a newly single mom and a guy who’s sworn off relationships.

I don’t expect to see that guy again. All he knows of me is that I’m new in town and freshly divorced, not that I have four kids and have zero interest in dating.

Yet who do I find coaching my son’s third grade football team? My random hookup, Holden Barron, looking even better in broad daylight.

I assume a guy like him will stay far away now that he’s seen the hot mess of my life, but he won’t quit finding reasons to hang out with me. Like helping with my kids at the clinic after my son takes a hard sack. Horse riding lessons for my oldest daughter. A movie night.

And the first weekend my kids are with their dad… Well, no back seat required.

But I’ve trusted the wrong man before, and Holden’s history with women doesn’t scream commitment. My heart can’t take getting shattered again, especially not by the man who’s helping me piece it back together.
