Stuck with the Billionaire by Georgia Coffman




Title: Stuck with the Billionaire
Author: Georgia Coffman
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
Release Date: September 16, 2021


BLURB

As a billionaire, philanthropist, and the life of every party, I work hard and play harder—which occasionally gets me into trouble.

It wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t the soon-to-be CEO of my family’s company. In order to appease my concerned parents, I agree to leave Manhattan and hide out until the media frenzy surrounding my latest mishap settles down.

Which is how I end up in a cabin in the woods with my best friend’s gorgeous little sister on her birthday.

I’m definitely not the gift Tessa’s expecting. We’ve never met before, but it’s clear she’s formed an opinion of me based on my playboy reputation—and it’s not a good one.

But we’re stuck here together.

At first, all we do is bicker, and it’s easy for me to remember all the reasons I shouldn’t touch her. But the more I get to know her, I’m surprised by how real and funny she is beneath her spunky exterior. Did I mention the woman can bake too?

Keeping my hands to myself becomes more torturous than my exile.

After all, having fun is what I’m good at. How can I resist showing her how to live a little?

EXCERPT

“This is how we’re going to play it for the next week? Seems a bit immature. But wait, that can’t be right. You’re the grown-up between the two of us, no?” I lean forward, resting my elbows on my knees, my lips twitching.
Tessa stiffens and spins on her tiptoes like a ballerina until she faces me. “I’m going to my room to read quietly while we wait for your babysitter. Because unlike you, I can take care of myself without needing someone to slap my wrist and handle my problems for me.”
I run my fingers over my knuckles, glaring back at her as I steady my voice. She knows how to hold her own, that’s for sure.
And I respect that.
Even though I’m the one she’s lashing out on.
“So, while you chew on what I’m sure will be a witty and intelligent comeback, I’ll be in my room reading the swoony heroes of Nora Roberts’s creation.”
“Ah, might they be the perfect men you referred to this morning? The ones who don’t exist?” I ask, my voice low and laced with so much amusement I can hardly contain myself. I run my knuckle across my bottom lip, suppressing a grin, and her gaze falls there, following my movement.
Her eyes flash back up to meet mine. “I don’t need to explain myself to you.”
“No, but you’re still telling me plenty.” I wink.
Roughly exhaling, she whirls around so hard, she almost spills her drink. The slam of her door makes me jump in my spot, and I finally let my laugh loose.
I’ve been here for less than an hour, and already, my best friend’s little sister is most certainly making my visit interesting.

For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks

Title: For Vacation Only
Author: Mila Nicks
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
Release Date: June 11, 2021
Cover Design: Leni Kauffman



When blue-blooded Blake Mulligan gets jilted at the altar, he breaks free of his ‘predictable’ reputation by going on the honeymoon cruise anyway—without his snobby, socialite fiancée. For the next fourteen days he hopes to escape reality and pretend he hasn’t suffered the humiliation of a lifetime. The last thing he expects is to meet beautiful songstress Jubilee Collazo with her honey-sweet voice.

Jubilee is talented and passionate and doesn’t just march to the beat of her own drum—she dances to it. While she longs to do more than croon cover songs from a cruise ship stage, she enjoys seeing the world. Her love of travel makes her the perfect person to show Blake around each exotic stop of the Mediterranean cruise.

What starts out as a simple tour guide arrangement, quickly grows into something more. Despite their different backgrounds, Blake and Jubilee discover an incredible connection they never imagined possible. But as their final destination approaches, so does reality. Like points on a compass, their lives seem to be charted in opposite directions—his to the Hamptons and high-society, and hers back out across the rolling seas. Can anything short of a perfect storm keep these two lovebirds together?

Just for Kicks (Milwaukee Growlers Football, #1) by Tracy Solheim




Title: Just for Kicks
Series: Milwaukee Growlers Football #1
Author: Tracy Solheim
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
Release Date: March 15, 2021


BLURB

It was supposed to be just for kicks...

Andi Larsen learned early on there is no such thing as fairy godmothers. A childhood spent in foster care will do that to a girl. She’s working her way through night school and is on the cusp of establishing her own business without help from anyone, thank you very much. But when her deadbeat ex steals her identity, amassing a staggering debt in her name, her fairy godmother appears in the guise of a spunky, Fireball whisky-wielding septuagenarian. The older woman’s solution for Andi? Tie the knot with a kilt-wearing, moody jock whose legs look sexier in a skirt than hers do.

Declan Fletcher never intended to be a place-kicker for a professional football team. But fate had other plans. Exiled from his beloved Scotland a decade ago, Dex is now a superstar athlete known throughout the league as the “Man with the Million Dollar Leg.” But when a mix-up in his immigration paperwork threatens to send him home before the season begins, he’ll do anything to avoid deportation and facing his greatest mistake. Even if it means marrying a pink-haired waif of a lass with eyes that seem to see everything he’s determined to keep hidden.

A grumpy cat, nosy teammates, and a sizzling sexual attraction make their marriage of convenience anything but convenient.

EXCERPT

“Give me a kiss for luck, lass,” he commanded, effectively cutting off her protest with both his words and his lips.
She didn’t have time to react. Not that she could if she wanted to. She was too stunned. Or too . . . something.
The moment his mouth met hers, a storm of sensations threatened to overwhelm her. The velvety firmness of his lips. The tangy whiskey on his breath. The sparks of awareness created by the brush of his fingers against her skin.
It was all too much.
And yet, not nearly enough.
Her body moved of its own accord, edging close enough that she couldn’t tell if it was her heart hammering against her chest or his. She failed to contain the sigh emanating from the back of her throat when his lips coaxed hers apart and his tongue delved into her mouth. The fingers at her nape tightened ever so slightly at the sound before he abruptly released her.
It took a long moment for awareness of her surroundings to return. The ping of the slot machines and the crackle of shuffling cards was followed by the hum of hundreds of conversations taking place within the casino. When she finally regained focus, Dex was still inhabiting the space in front of her, heat and something else unidentifiable radiating off him.
“Well done, lass,” he murmured.
Andi’s gaze snapped up to meet his. Her stomach sank at his amused expression. Damn it. He was playing a role. This whole evening was some sort of play for him. One where she didn’t know the lines. She was a fool to think it was anything more.
Taking a step back, she forced her lips up into a smile she didn’t feel. Declan Fletcher may be a better gamer than she was, but Andi was nothing if not a quick learner. She’d had to be. So she decided to play along.
Placing both hands on his chest, she stretched up on her toes and pressed her lips to the corner of his. “Try not to lose it all in one sitting,” she said loud enough for their audience to overhear.
With a pat to his magnificent pectoral muscles, she left him standing there mute, while she went in search of food. And a large glass of wine.
