Broken (Manhattan Ruthless Book 1) Free by Sadie Kincaid

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me. But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover. I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong? Enter Melanie Edison, the five-foot-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth...

Offside Hearts (Love and Hockey Book 1) by Nikki Lawson

Rule #1 for becoming an NHL team’s social media manager: Don’t hook up with the star center in an elevator a week before starting your new job. Uhh… oops. Okay, so I already broke the first rule. But just because Noah Blake knows what my ‘O’ face looks like, that doesn’t mean he’ll ever get to see it again. This job means the world to me, and I won’t risk it for anything—not even for a hockey captain with a crooked smile, a dangerously talented tongue, and gorgeous blue eyes that make my heart race. Not even when he shows up at my door to comfort me in the middle of a thunderstorm. Not even if he’s determined to show me just how incredible we could be together. Falling for a hockey player was never part of my plan. The only problem is, there’s a little voice in my head that keeps whispering… Maybe he’s right.

Mid-Thirties Slightly Hot Mess Female Seeking Billionaire Free by J. S. Cooper

To Whom it May Concern, This is a long shot. I’m seeking a billionaire; I will also settle for a millionaire. Sorry, I’m not interested in any salesmen looking to sell me a time-share or a part of their animal balloon company (been there, done that). I am not a gold digger, though you may not believe that. I have references. Ask all my broke exes and my best friends. To be fair, I am not a glamorous model, actress, or professional dancer. I do, however, take pole dancing lessons (for fun, of course, not dollar bills). I am an educated (still have the student loans to prove it), open-minded (toy stores are fun, and not for games), fairly cute (when I try), only a little curvy (those last thirty pounds don’t want to leave) single female. I want to be swept off my feet, wined, dined, and bedded in ways that make me forget my name. I have a job (that I hate), with a boss that makes me want to jump off a cliff. However, my friends make up for the day job. I’m ready for an adventure. And pos...
