Victoria Thompson knows exactly what she wants in life: to finish her graphic design degree so she can land a full-time job with benefits, to spend her free time painting when she’s not working alongside her best friends at Clinton’s Family Restaurant, and to continue sleeping with her ex-boyfriend without letting him get too close. She knows that loving Rhett-- her favorite person, her best friend since childhood, her steady and devoted golden boy-- means letting him go eventually. But she’s not ready to let him go yet. Her proposed arrangement is simple. They can be friends-with-benefits when he’s home in Hampton, Ohio as long as he promises to date other people when he’s back at school. Everhett Wheeler is a man with a detailed plan: graduate with his MBA, then move to Virginia to take his rightful place in the executive suite at his grandad’s company. He’s calculated, confident, and self-assured. The one thing he can’t predict is what happens to his relationship with Tori once he moves away for good. He has always wanted more, and she knows it. But in a battle of wills, she always wins. After an unplanned weekend together, Tori and Rhett start to question whether the arrangement they’ve relied on for the last three years is too much or just not enough. Is it time to go their separate ways? Do they have the courage to commit to a real relationship? Or will a series of surprise visits, soul-crushing lies, and unexpected news tear them apart before they can even try? When You’re Home is a steamy new adult romance that includes mature themes, offensive language, substance abuse, and infidelity.

Daphne As a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. Prince Charming saving the princess. The promise of a better life. The magic of happily ever after. But I’m pretty sure Sleeping Beauty never woke up to a text message from Prince Charming’s brother, informing her that they’d both been granted “free passes” for the weekend of their bachelor and bachelorette parties. I can’t believe this is my life. But I’ve already made my decision, and I’m confident about what happens next. The wedding is off. I won’t be the victim in this story. I’m ready to take back my power. One night of pleasure with the wildly attractive man I meet at The Oak is just what I need to start rewriting my happily ever after. What I didn’t anticipate? One night with Fielding might not be enough. Not only that—one night with him might change the trajectory of my life forever. Fielding It’s been a long time since I’ve felt anything in the hollow, tattered place my heart used to reside. Then everything shifts when I lock eyes with a luminous angel in white. She’s a ten. But she’s curvy as hell with an ass that’s literally two handfuls. So she’s a twelve. She’s also the freaking bride to be—or was, according to her story. I offer Daphne one night of pleasure, knowing damn well it won’t be enough. Now I want more. No, not just more—I want it all with her. She’s reluctant to pursue the connection I know we both feel, and with good reason. So I’ll bide my time. Play the long game. Wait her out and do everything in my power to convince her she’s meant to be mine. One thing’s for sure: I’m not giving up when it comes to my future with this woman. It’s disgustingly on brand for me. If it’s off limits, I want it. Dangle the forbidden fruit in front of me, and I’ll stop at nothing until I obtain it. I’ve always been a full out fiend.

No wrong moves. Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend. Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape. Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best. It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner. Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all. On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much. But now Greedy’s best friend is back in town, and he and I are “dating” to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he’s also our new roommate, too. No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago. What if there are no right moves either? So Wrong is the first book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

So Real is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance that must be read in order. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

I never considered how far I’d go to protect those I love.   Not until now. Not until them. Locke. Kylian. Kendrick. Decker.    The boys of Lake Chapel own me: mind and body, heart and soul.  I’ll fight for them. Wait for them. Root for them and support them through anything.    Because what we’re building together is a forever kind of love.   Every word will be dissected, every move recorded, but the cameras and media scrutiny are temporary.   We cling to private moments away from the mansion and hold out hope that life won’t always be this hard.  But when a terrifying encounter with parallels to the past leaves us shaken, Decker takes drastic action.   And despite our whispered promises and dreams for the future, what we share may not be enough to survive the pressure of what comes next.   The boys of Lake Chapel taught me that love can be limitless. No one warned me what can happen when love is pushed too far.

MADDIE I’ll admit it: I knew exactly who he was when I walked into The Oak that night. I probably should have just left him alone. But I was bored. And he’s gorgeous, just like his brother. How was I supposed to resist? The kiss we shared was scorching hot. But it was nothing compared to the intensity of his anger when he realized who I was, and who I’m related to. His hostility fuels me. His resistance makes me push harder. He made this into a game I’m determined to win. Whether he likes it or not, I’ve officially set my sights on Dempsey Haas. DEMPSEY He called her Fourth Wheel. There was a familiarity between them that should have told me she was off limits. But there was just something about that girl. Something familiar. Something forbidden. Something so damn tempting. Her timing is impeccable. I’ve never felt more lonely or listless in my life. I’m not looking for a relationship, or even a fling. Especially not with someone seven years younger who happens to be related to the two people my brother hates most. But the way my entire body responded to her when she pushed me against that clock tower and kissed me? That’s a moment that’ll stay with me forever. I had my fun. Now I have to lock it down.

A brand new steamy, swoony, why choose novella from bestselling author Abby Millsaps Life has been nonstop since the day I became Mrs. Crusade. Not that I have any interest in slowing down now that I’ve found my rhythm in Lake Chapel. I love my life, my boys, and the future we’re creating together. This semester, I even get to live with my best friend and her cohort of men. There’s more than enough room at the Crusade Mansion for the ten of us, but between conflicting schedules, increased security measures, and Kendrick’s NFL draft intentions, it’s rare that I get time with all four of my guys. That’s why I’m thrilled about our plans for Valentine’s Day. Spending an entire weekend off the grid with the men I love is my personal version of heaven. I’m craving quality time with each of them (and hoping for some quality group fun, too). All I want for Valentine’s Day is to be snuggled up at the cabin with Kylian, Locke, Kendrick, and Decker. But apparently, my guys have other plans. When it becomes clear they’ve uncovered a secret I intended to keep to myself, I’m forced to face the reality of what it means to be loved by four possessive, overbearing men. Too Sweet is a 27,000 word spicy novella featuring the characters from the completed Boys of Lake Chapel series. This cohort has already found their happily ever after together, so expect low angst, swoony moments, the spiciest spice, and hilarious banter from Joey, Kylian, Locke, Kendrick, and Decker.
