called . . . revenge.</span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">After failing my last semester of
grad school, I decided to come back to my hometown and wallow in my boyfriend’s
sympathetic arms. Instead, he proceeded to dump me . . . for being boring!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Now, I'm not typically a spiteful
person, but there's only so much I can take. Hence why I’m holding the box of
his most cherished possessions…stolen possessions no less!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The plan? To give the box back to its
rightful owner and rat my ex out. How’s that for being boring?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">But plans never go the way you want
them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I’m pinned with the
crime by the true owner of the box himself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Hayes Farrow is grumpy, arrogant, and
stupidly hot in a way that makes it hard to even look him in the eye. Not to
mention he’s my brother’s nemesis so I fully intended to stay far far away from
the gorgeous jerk.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">But to add insult to the injury that
has become my life as of late, Hayes gives me two options: turn me into the
police and press full charges . . . or work it off. How could I possibly work
for someone I can't stand? Easy, I don't look good in orange.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">But working for Hayes isn't as
horrible as I thought it would be. The way I hate him begins to turn into
something else - something I never thought I'd feel. But the way my brother
reacts when he finds out I’m working for his enemy? He’d prefer me in prison
orange.</span></p>

It's called . . . revenge.</span></a><span style="color: #0f1111; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 14.98px;"><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">After
failing my last semester for my masters degree, I decided to come back
to my hometown of Almond Bay and wallow in self pity while my boyfriend
told me everything was going to be okay. To my dismay, instead of open
arms, he greeted me with a box to move my things.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Now
I'm not a petty person, but when he told me he broke up with me because
I was boring, there's only so much of the higher road I can take. Hence
the box of memorabilia I took from him.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The
plan? To give it back to his boss, who happens to be my brother's
nemesis, and get the ex fired. But plans never go the way you want them,
because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I'm pinned with
the crime by Hayes Farrow himself.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">And
because my life is so pathetic, he gives me two options: turn me into
the police and press full charges or . . . work it off. How could I
possibly work for someone I can't stand? Easy, I don't look good in
orange.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">But
working for Hayes isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The hate I
had for him begins to turn into something else - something deeper,
something I never thought I'd feel.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Unfortunately
there are still old grudges and family drama to deal with. And what
happens when my brother finds out that I'm working for the guy he hates
more than anyone else in the world? Will I be able to follow my heart or
will the way I hate him blind me from the love I feel?</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"></span></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!</span></b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;"></span></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mybook.to/TheWayIHateHim&source=gmail&ust=1689879408733000&usg=AOvVaw39AqUHFZwhLgEjQ9PLrKNe" href="https://mybook.to/TheWayIHateHim" style="color: #0563c1; font-family: georgia;" target="_blank"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">https://mybook.to/<wbr></wbr>TheWayIHateHim</span></a></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img alt="twihh-squarebanner-coming_Newsletter.jpg" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" data-image-whitelisted="" height="452" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=0fbdabda8e&attid=0.3&permmsgid=msg-f:1771822102392041323&th=1896c6d08a436f6b&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ-uuZMcfOFfQp1nc1KV-ffSAn7s51FSFIK5NKKRy9-pXd8ufOgcK9OeqWb5yyGi532UwEz8_y_dcXALBYyCg11I4WL7gzwtL85Ed___2lW2O6KNrYttz8tTtiQ&disp=emb&realattid=ii_lk97y6ct2" tabindex="0" width="452" /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 14.6667px;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-size: 15pt; line-height: 21.4px;">Read the Prologue Here!</span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in;"><b style="font-family: georgia;">**HAYES**</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“How good are you at giving head?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The girl straddling my lap, tits bouncing in
my face, a G-string being the only thing on her body, leans in with a smirk.
“I’ve never had any complaints.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I wet my lips and rest my head against the

table in front of us, salt is sprinkled all over, and her tits are still wet
from where I was licking the salt off. Lime wedges are scattered along the
floor with her clothes and my shirt. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><i style="font-family: georgia;">And . . . I’m not

seductively says, “Tara.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tara?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Oh fuck, I was way off. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A snort pops out of me because, Jesus, I

hell, I’m drunk and can barely hold it together. Her brow rises, and yeah, I
realize the truth is probably better. “I thought your name was Kendall. I
wasn’t close to guessing it correctly.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Her brow pulls together with disdain. “Who
the hell is Kendall?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“You got me,” I say just as a knock sounds
on my door, and my agent pops his head in. “Dude,” I say, gesturing to Kendall
. . . I mean, Tara. Jesus Christ. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ruben winces. “I have to talk to you.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“It’s fine,” Tara says as she grabs her
dress and stands. “I was leaving.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My dick wants me to protest, but I don’t
have it in me, so I watch as she slips her dress over her head, shimmying it
over her large tits. Such a shame. I would have had fun with her. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">But I’ll tell you one thing—I’m never
fucking desperate for pussy. Ever. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m not the begging kind. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">So if she wants to leave, I won’t stop her. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And from the pause at the door and the
glance over her shoulder at me, I know she wants me to stop her, to beg her to
stay. Sorry, not going to fucking happen. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I lift two fingers to my forehead and offer
a salute, causing her brows to turn down. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“You’re an ass,” she says as she pushes past
Ruben and leaves. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><i style="font-family: georgia;">Yeah, tell me something I don’t know.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I lean forward with my elbows on my thighs
as Ruben shuts the door to my dressing room and straightens his tie. The man is
a killer in negotiations and the smartest man I know, but he’s a goddamn dweeb.
It’s not the first time he’s walked in on me with a girl, and it won’t be the
last, yet he still has the same nauseous and uncomfortable look. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I pour myself another shot of tequila but
then lift the bottle to inspect it. We didn’t drink that much. “Fuck.” I sigh.
“I think Matt’s stealing from me.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ruben steps closer and picks my shirt up off
the ground. He folds it and gently sets it on the coffee table. “Your
assistant?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Yeah,” I answer. “Things keep going
missing, and he’s the only one besides you allowed in my private space.” I lift
an eyebrow. “Unless you’re stealing from me?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Utter shock and disgust cross Ruben’s face.
“You . . . you can’t be serious.” He tugs on the cuffs of his paisley button-up
shirt. “I would never—”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“I’m kidding, Ruben.” I toss the shot back
and then lean against the couch again. “What’s up?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Two things,” he says, holding his fingers
up. “Carlton called and wants to know when to expect the next album.” I roll my
eyes. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Jesus Christ, I told him he’ll get it when
he gets it. I’m just finishing up his goddamn tour.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“That’s what I told him, but since you’ve
recently gone viral again, he wants to capitalize on that.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“I’m sure he does,” I say. “Well, I have
nothing, so he’ll be waiting a while.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Not even a single?” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Ruben.” I stand from the couch and snag the
shirt he folded. “You know me better than anyone, do you think I have a single
up my sleeve I can just release?” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Didn’t think so, but I thought I’d check.”
I slip my shirt on. “What would you like me to tell Carlton?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“I’m working on it.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Are you?” he asks. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Nope,” I answer, picking up my faded gray
baseball hat. “But I will.” After slipping it on backward, I grab my phone and
place it in my pocket. “What’s the second thing?” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ruben hesitates. “Abel called.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">That makes me pause and turn toward Ruben.
“Why?”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Your grandma fell again, fractured her hip.
She’s been asking for you. She thinks this is the end.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“She thinks every day is the end,” I say. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ruben keeps me from moving toward the door

<p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow is now live! </i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.</b><b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience? </b><b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>No one is that desperate. </b><b><br /></b><br />Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.<br /><br /><b>And for me.</b><br /><br />It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I've got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don't have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.<br /><br />So I should have kept my hands to myself.<br /><br />Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I'm finding hard to snuff out.<br /><br /><br />But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.<br /><br /><b>At the end of the summer, she'll be gone. </b><b><br /></b><b>And if I'm not careful, she might run away with my heart.</b></p>

But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex's best friend, Lars—the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago—she isn't exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can't be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom.<br /><br />Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars discovers a divorce certificate hidden in a wall and dated ten years in the future—with both their names on it. It couldn't possibly be real...could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document's origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn't seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it's even begun?<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p>

soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard
of the term, <i>what the bride wants, the bride gets</i>. </span></span></span></p>

short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the
snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as
her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own
hands. </span></span></span></p>

different light.</span></span></span></p>

but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one
more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk122966638;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And before I know what's happening,
it hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm in love with my best friend. Not just in
love, but infatuated. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk122966638;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">No one compares to her and nothing

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk122966638;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Not her angry fiancé who
thinks I'm growing too close. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk122966638;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And not the looming deadline of
her nuptials. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk122966638;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Which means, there's only one thing
left for me to do. Prove to Lia I'm the one she should be with instead. But
with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be
mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I'm

<p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>My Review</b></span></p><div style="line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">The second in the Drama King series focuses on Cyrus, a charismatic
Hollywood actor that is expecting a blind date with who he thinks is
meeting Ryaine, and it's really her friend and doppelganger
Beth/Bethshiba. Beth is a personal security guard and is standing in for
her friend at dinner to pre-screen her blind date, and make sure that
Ryaine doesn't fall for his charms and get taken advantage of. <br /><br />When
"Mr. Black" arrives and Beth discovers that it's someone she knows from
her Texas hometown, she looses her filter. That filter is also down
because she mistakenly mixed an antihistamine with a glass of wine, and
is not behaving like the controlled and ultra professional person she
normally would be. When she arrives at her new assignment the next day
with a talent company, she discovers that she's on the team to provide
extra security for Cyrus. <br /><br />The two dance around each other, it's a
really slow burn, and one where both have to deal with the past trauma
of losing a parent. It's really well written, and just makes be believe
that Penny Reid can write a grocery list and I'd still read it and
appreciate it! </span></span></p></div><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>K</b><b><span>eep reading for a look inside Drama King!</span></b></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Do you want to listen to music?” I asked softly. “Or talk radio?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“No, thank you,” he said shortly, shifting in his seat again while he kept on staring and frowning out the window. “You’ll need to take a right when you get to Old Whiskey Road.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“You don’t want to go through downtown Alenbach?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“No. I’ve seen it before.” His response was uncharacteristically irritable.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Fighting a bout of nerves, I considered my next question, or whether I should ask a question.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">One popped in my head and I wondered if it was too personal. But you know what? I decided, to heck with it. I wouldn’t see Cyrus again after today, not in any meaningful way. If he clammed up, so be it. I had nothing to lose.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I waited another mile or so, then asked, “Do you miss it?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">—at the exact same time he demanded, “Why did you pick me up?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Stiffening at the hostility in his tone, I redoubled my efforts to focus on the road and responded calmly, “I was already here and the studio asked.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I got the sense he was waiting for me to continue. When I didn’t, he asked, “That’s it? There’s no other reason?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Chewing on my bottom lip, my thoughts drifted to the watch in my pocket. “What other reason would there be?” I hedged, testing the wiper controls to see if it had a higher setting. It didn’t. I felt like we were creeping along at this point and we’d be lucky to make it before nightfall.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">His eyes still on me, he grumbled something I missed, then asked, “Do I miss what?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I considered saying, </span><i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Nothing, forget it, </span></i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">but my reasoning for asking the question was still sound.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Do you miss Texas? Do you miss being close to your momma and all these wide-open spaces? The culture out here?” I went back to chewing my bottom lip, feeling unaccountably nervous. Carefully, I slowed the car and turned onto Old Whiskey Road. This was the bypass road for Alenbach, which was still some thirty miles ahead.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">The snow seemed to thicken while I waited for him to answer. We traveled another mile and I glanced at Cyrus, our eyes connecting for the first time since he’d arrived at the Austin airport.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I absorbed the shock of it, breathed through it. Meanwhile, he stared at me, some combination of puzzled and stunned.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Braving another quick look, I asked, “What’s wrong?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“I believe that’s the first time you’ve asked me a personal question directly.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Gripping the steering wheel tighter, I struggled with how to respond, and eventually blurted, “That can’t be true.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“It is. What do you know about me?” The question sounded like an accusation. “We worked together for four months and not once—not </span><i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">once</span></i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">—did you make any effort to know me. Why is that?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">A hot, spiky feeling pressed uncomfortably outward against my skin. The truth was, I knew more than I wanted to admit. “I—I know plenty.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Really? How? Are you a mind reader? What am I thinking right now?”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">My breath wanted to hitch. I wouldn’t let it. I tried to focus on my irritation, not this strange sense that I’d let him down.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Go ahead,” he demanded. “Tell me what I’m thinking.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Glancing at him, I saw a deeply furrowed brow, glinting narrowed eyes, mouth tugged down at the corners, jaw set. Cyrus looked more like his character Asmodeus than himself—a beautiful, surly, smoldering fallen angel instead of a happy-go-lucky sweetheart with too much energy and charisma.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Well?” Cyrus pushed.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Well, obviously you’re angry with me.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“That’s right, I’m angry.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“Fine. Be angry then!” I yelled.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">“I don’t want to be angry with you!” he shouted back. “I want to be the opposite of—oh shit”—he braced his arm against the dash—“Stop!”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I saw the deer right before Cyrus did. It was huge. Despite my frazzled state of mind and his insistence that I do so, I did not stop. I didn’t swerve either, though every instinct screamed at me to yank the wheel to the right.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Did you know deer kill more people than any other animal? Snakes and sharks have nothing on Bambi. Some people think they’re cute, I blame Disney for that. They’re not cute, they’re dumb. If you’re unfortunate enough to see them in the road, stop only if it’s convenient </span><i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">and</span></i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> you spot them from a distance </span><i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">and</span></i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> it’s not a winter hellscape outside.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">But since this one appeared like a serial killer in a snowy slasher flick, I didn’t stop. I pressed gently on the brakes, slowed, and braced for impact. It came with a forceful, bone-shaking </span><i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">boom</span></i><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">. Airbags deployed, filling my face and vision. The jolt of it caused my foot to press harder on the brake—rookie mistake, I should’ve removed my foot—and that’s when the shit hit the fan.</span><br /><br /><span>Add DRAMA KING to Goodreads: </span><a href="http://bit.ly/3GmfERZ" style="text-decoration: none;"><u><span style="color: #0563c1;">http://bit.ly/3GmfERZ</span></u></a></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The last time I saw Tim Cheltenham, he was an eighteen-year-old soccer hottie with an irresistible English accent, a painfully gorgeous face, and an enormous . . . ego.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Fifteen years later, with a medical degree under my belt and a new dream job with The Strikers soccer team—his team—I’m not about to let Tim’s bad attitude and grumpy scowl ruin it for me.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But when my chauvinistic boss implies that he doesn’t trust single women to stay on the job long-term, I panic and tell him I’m engaged. And to my surprise, it’s Tim who comes to my rescue, offering to play my fake fiancé if I’ll do him a favor–cover up the truth about his injury.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The lie could derail both our careers, and I’ve got no desire to spend more time than necessary in Tim’s surly presence. And falling for him again? Ha! That’s never going to happen.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">So with my job on the line, I say yes. Now, the more time I spend with Tim, the more I sense a softer side beneath those chiseled muscles and broody exterior. But the more I understand him, the harder it is to pretend that we're just for show.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And when a rival player threatens to expose our secret, I’m terrified I’ll lose everything.</p>

Soccer player Tim came to the US as an exchange student in
high school, only to leave abruptly. He's now back playing for a US
team, and runs into Jordan, the teenage girl that who lived with his
host family. <br /><br />She's now a physician for the team, and he's still
smitten. When she's asked questions by her sleazy coworker, she fakes a
fiance. Tim takes that as an opportunity to get close to her and have a
built in date for his appearances. <br /><br />While the "fake fiance" trope
is normally predictable and fun, this one for me was a bit flat as I
didn't get the chemistry from these two. I enjoyed Jordan's character,
but something was off here. I normally dive right in and power read
Stacy Travis, so this is absolutely a "me" thing.

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><b>Keep reading for a look inside He’s A Player!</b></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Hello.” The voice is accented. Gruff. Deep.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Even amid the din, I recognize the voice as huskier than Charlie’s. My stomach drops to my feet, and I fight back a surge of adrenaline mixed with nausea.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I turn, and I’m met by broad shoulders under a tight black Henley with the Strikers logo on the front. Even in heels, I have to look up to see Tim Cheltenham’s face.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">It’s gorgeous. Undeniably gorgeous—angular jaw, olive-colored eyes under criminally long lashes, lips that inspire fantasies among virgins. And everyone else.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Except right now, those beautiful eyes are squinting in confusion, and his luscious lips are pressed into a line. The only thing harder than this man’s muscles is the intensity of his stare, and his muscles could tear holes in his shirt.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">My eyes go rogue, taking a slow tour of his frame, starting with his ripped, low-slung jeans and those sculpted soccer player thighs, hugged tight by the denim fabric, which is probably having its own orgasm from the contact.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Lucky-duck jeans.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">His shirt is tight enough that I can clearly see his six-pack abs, right below carved pecs that have me swallowing hard, so I don’t open my mouth and take a bite out of his bicep. It would be embarrassing but so worth it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Tim.” That’s all I can muster.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Bringing my glass to my lips, I feel a tremor in my hand, which I hope he doesn’t notice. Fifteen years since I’ve seen him in person. Same damn reaction.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I take a long sip. Then another.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Thank you, bartender. I’m drunk now.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Just looking at him brings back age-old hurt coupled with memories I’ve pushed down hard and tried to forget. Tried and failed.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Tim had burrowed in deep, affected me in ways I couldn’t fight and couldn’t fathom. I stopped thinking about him eventually out of pure self-preservation, but I never forgot about him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Besides, it’s pretty hard to forget when his name and face are plastered all over the sports news, which I started looking at when I applied for jobs as a medical director. And for years before that, right about the time I met Tim. Coincidentally.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“What are you doing here?” His eyes flicker under the dark blond hair that falls across his forehead before he pushes it back with a large hand. His gaze bears down on me, and he jiggles the sudsy remains of a beer in a pint glass.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">You’ve earned this. Own it. Just breathe in and out, in and out.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I choke halfway through my inhale. I sputter my exhale. I don’t own a damn thing.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“I work here. Or at least I will in a month.” I feel a tic in my cheek.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">He stares at me like my words make no sense. Like I make no sense. “Doctor Jordan Page.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Yes?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">He shakes his head. “You went by Danny. Back then.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Nickname. Jor-dan. Dan-ny. No one calls me that anymore, except my mom on occasion, and even she mostly doesn’t because I’ve asked her not to. Of course, I think that makes her want to do it more. Or maybe old habits die hard.” I’m oversharing. Or under-explaining? Or rambling because he makes me nervous—that hasn’t changed at all.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">But he still seems flummoxed. “Doctor Jordan Page. Fuck me for thinking it was a bloke,” he mutters, raking a hand through his hair. My eyes track the motion, fixated on how much better he looks in person than in recent photos. Pure masculine virility radiates from him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">And yet…</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Because you assume all doctors are men?” My sexism radar flares to life, my bottom lip jutting out with my retort.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“No, I—”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Good. You shouldn’t.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“You’re the team doctor?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Director of Sports Medicine. Yes. I’m—”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Part of Charlie’s new brigade. Coming to fix what isn’t broken. Right. I know all about it. Don’t think much of the plan.” His accent makes him sound so much more polite than his sharky smirk suggests.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">My confidence shrivels like a sunburned grape. I feel my attempted smile pull down into a glower.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Is that what all the players think?</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I tell myself I don’t care what he thinks, that I’m a professional. But I do care. And I have worked hard to get this job. I should own it. I’m tethered to my resolve by a fraying thread.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">As I try to kickstart the syrup in my brain to find a witty retort, I’m jostled from behind by someone big—big enough to send me off-balance in my stupid two-inch shoes.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I lurch forward toward Tim, who puts his hands on my shoulders to steady me, but not before his entire beer spills down the front of my blouse.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">His eyes go to the spill, which makes my shirt virtually sheer. And now it’s sticking to my bra, which has demi-cups made of thin baby blue lace—a stupid gift from my mother, who hoped I’d wear it on a date. Instead, I wear it on laundry day when all my plain cotton bras are in the wash.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">After a mortifying second or six, Tim wrenches his eyes upward and releases his grip on me. I close my eyes to blot out the image of him. Of everyone.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of my future, the culmination of everything I’ve worked to achieve. It was supposed to be proof to my mother and anyone else that I don’t need a boyfriend to be happy. I was supposed to drink and celebrate and meet the players who’d be grateful to have me on their team.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">But apparently not. They’re not all grateful, starting with this one.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I must have stepped on a puppy in a past life.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Because karma’s acting like a little bitch.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">It’s a rough world out there, and we all sometimes need a good, romantic beach read, even if we can’t make it to the beach. I’ve spent many lazy days walking the streets of Paris and other gorgeous European cities, and if I’m doing it right, I’m bringing you a dash of romance and a vacay fantasy.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph--></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">I can’t sit still, so when I’m not hiking, biking or running, I’m playing a very average game of tennis. Background music for writing undoubtedly features some U2, Lizzo, Billy Joel, Pink, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily in that order. And if I could only eat one food group, it would be cheese. Or wine. Or bread. Are those food groups? Whatever.</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">He’s A Player, an all-new sexy second chance sports romance from Stacy Travis, is now available!</h4>

<div style="text-align: center;"><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2300" height="400" src="https://thebooktressofsolitude.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/hesaplayer-ebook.jpeg?w=683" width="267" /></figure></div>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The last time I saw Tim Cheltenham, he was an eighteen-year-old soccer hottie with an irresistible English accent, a painfully gorgeous face, and an enormous . . . ego.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Fifteen years later, with a medical degree under my belt and a new dream job with The Strikers soccer team—his team—I’m not about to let Tim’s bad attitude and grumpy scowl ruin it for me.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But when my chauvinistic boss implies that he doesn’t trust single women to stay on the job long-term, I panic and tell him I’m engaged. And to my surprise, it’s Tim who comes to my rescue, offering to play my fake fiancé if I’ll do him a favor–cover up the truth about his injury.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The lie could derail both our careers, and I’ve got no desire to spend more time than necessary in Tim’s surly presence. And falling for him again? Ha! That’s never going to happen.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">So with my job on the line, I say yes. Now, the more time I spend with Tim, the more I sense a softer side beneath those chiseled muscles and broody exterior. But the more I understand him, the harder it is to pretend that we're just for show.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And when a rival player threatens to expose our secret, I’m terrified I’ll lose everything.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">They say you have to fake it to make it. But what happens when love is the goal?</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"left"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: center;">It’s a rough world out there, and we all sometimes need a good, romantic beach read, even if we can’t make it to the beach. I’ve spent many lazy days walking the streets of Paris and other gorgeous European cities, and if I’m doing it right, I’m bringing you a dash of romance and a vacay fantasy.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"left"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: center;">I can’t sit still, so when I’m not hiking, biking or running, I’m playing a very average game of tennis. Background music for writing undoubtedly features some U2, Lizzo, Billy Joel, Pink, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily in that order. And if I could only eat one food group, it would be cheese. Or wine. Or bread. Are those food groups? Whatever.</p>

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span></div><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">When the Stage Dive crew decides to help, they do it in a big way.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

</span></div><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band's latest album.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span></div><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">But Dean is more than a little wary of dating anyone with anything to do with the Stage Dive crew after losing Lena to lead singer Jimmy Ferris all those years ago. Can Jude a) Convince the crew to stay out of her business and b) Woo the man of her dreams?</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

Jude is a nanny and Dean the producer that was briefly dating Lena. They're forced together in the guest house and by all the bandmates who are trying to set them up - which of course means you get appearances by all of the State Dive crew. A bit shorter than I would have wanted, but still had Kylie Scott's rock star craziness!<b> <br /></b></span></p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Keep reading for a look inside Just What I Needed!</b></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I smile. I have a lot to smile about. He likes me. We’re doing this. How exciting.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">He leans forward. “Can I kiss you, Jude?” he whispers.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I feel those words in every part of me. “Yeah.” I lick my lips. “You can.”</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As pretty as he was at a distance, he’s even more handsome close up. All of the shadows and lines of his face. It blows my mind how Lena left him for another. What a fool. Though I am kind of deeply grateful that she did. His lips are divine. No other word will do. And the thought of him pressing them against mine is making my stomach do a weird flip-flop thing. His lips are neither thin nor plump, but somewhere in between and perfect. I stare at them as he comes closer until he’s pressing his mouth softly against mine.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A sweet kiss, as if he’s testing his welcome. The man needn’t have bothered. I balance on the balls of my feet and join our lips once more, kissing him more insistently. I mean, we might as well figure out here and now if we have no chemistry. If he has no expertise. Because I kissed this male model once who was a tongue-wrangling disaster. Just a whole lot of wet-faced yuck. Sad, but true. It’s not like I have kissed anyone in ages. Maybe I’ve forgotten how it all works. Perhaps I’ll be the disaster.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dean’s hands grip my hips, and his tongue slips into my mouth and oh, yeah. Very nice. A lack of chemistry is obviously not going to be a problem between us. He kisses me deep and wet in a way that goes straight to my head. My fingers slide over the smooth warm skin of his shoulders before holding on tight. He is so solid and strong. One of his hands is now cupping the back of my head, holding me to him. As if I had any intention of leaving. Heck no. We kiss until my lips are numb and swollen and my mind is far away. Nothing else matters but this moment.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-family: georgia;">He leans his forehead against mine, and we both take a moment to catch our breath. As first kisses go, it was stellar. My empty stomach, however, shows no cool and rumbles loudly. Talk about keeping it real.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">He needs to get her out of his system. Just once...</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He's always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte's messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heckofalot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist,” which were polite southern alternatives to "filthy rich" and "self-centered douchebag." Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven't so much as acknowledged each other in over a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><!--/wp:paragraph--><!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}--></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Spoiler alert. . . he likes it. ;-)</p>

Penny Reid's novels are always a hit for me. This one focused
on the strip club owner Hank (he's appeared in previous books since
he's friends with Beau), and recently divorced/single mother Charlotte. <br /><br />She's
in a position where she needs to help her family, and starts her
interaction with Hank when she's trying to get a job at this club. He
refuses, she's determined, and ends up working as a bookkeeper at his
place. Since they have mutual friends, Hank ends up at a party where he
engages with Charlotte's son. He's normally not a "kid" person, but
finds that both Joshua and Sonya are intriguing, and they win him over. <br /><br />Back
at the strip club, Hank and Charlotte have to interact, and she uses
her wit and charm to not only get the girls on her side, but have Hank
come around. It's absolutely a slow burn, but it's full of fun tropes:
single mother, workplace romance, grumpy hero, you name it. Most of all,
you get all the other Winston's in appearances, including Cletus who
always has the answers about others!

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><b>Keep reading for a look inside Folk Around and Find Out!</b></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">My day hadn’t been great even before she walked in.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I’d just returned from the funeral of my longtime bookkeeper. He’d died from old age in his sleep surrounded by his five kids, loving wife, and eighteen grandchildren while leaving me with a reconciliation mess and this month’s payroll to finish.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">My newly trained bartender had sent a manifesto via text message, blaming his decision to quit on my unwillingness to build a dedicated meditation room and give him four paid half-hour breaks per shift to use it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Three Diamond Whiskey bottles out of the six that had shipped from the distributor were broken in the crate. If you’re keeping score, that’s seven hundred dollars in Tennessee Whiskey and a crime against humanity.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">On the plus side, the suit I’d worn to my parents’ funerals fit and I still looked damn good in it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Of course, I didn’t know the newcomer was her at first. The door opened and closed, same sound as normal no matter who was coming or going. It was a Sunday mid-morning, still early yet for any of the dancers or bouncers and way too early for any customers.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">But the moment she turned the corner and came into view, I gritted my teeth. Here we go. What could she want? She better not be selling Bibles.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Charlotte.” Standing behind the bar, I crossed my arms and sounded unfriendly. She’d caught me restocking paper products and the three surviving bottles of Diamond Whiskey. I was only half finished with my current task, but nowhere near half finished with my task list for the day. I did not have time for pious Charlotte Mitchell.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">As a rule, I had time for two types of folks: people I paid, and people who paid me. A small number of exceptions to this rule existed: a few friends from college and in town, like Beau Winston or Patty Lee, and any woman I’d set my mind on seducing, but even then, I made sure the scales remained balanced—give and take, tit for tat, even-steven. Point is, Charlotte was obviously not the former exception, and there was no way she’d ever be interested in becoming the latter.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">“Hank.” She didn’t look at me, but she did paste on an obligatory-looking smile that pulled her full lips tight and came nowhere close to her green eyes. Tracking Charlotte Mitchell’s slow approach, I didn’t miss how she took her time and peered around.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I wanted to snark, “Lost? I believe the wallpaper and sanctimony store is closer to downtown.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Instead, I ground out, “What do you want?”</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">He’s A Player, a brand-new second chance, fake engagement standalone sports romance from Stacy Travis, is coming November 15th, and we have the amazing cover!</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;"><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2079" height="640" src="https://thebooktressofsolitude.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/hesaplayer-ebook.jpeg?w=683" width="427" /></figure></div>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">To the world, he’s a sexy soccer superstar.<br />To me, he’s the arrogant jerk who broke my teenage heart–and my new fake fiancé.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The last time I saw Tim Cheltenham, he was an eighteen-year-old soccer hottie with an irresistible English accent, a painfully gorgeous face, and an enormous . . . ego.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Fifteen years later, with a medical degree under my belt and a new dream job with The Strikers soccer team—his team—I’m not about to let Tim’s bad attitude and grumpy scowl ruin it for me.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But when my chauvinistic boss implies that he doesn’t trust single women to stay on the job long-term, I panic and tell him I’m engaged. And to my surprise, it’s Tim who comes to my rescue, offering to play my fake fiancé if I’ll do him a favor–cover up the truth about his injury.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The lie could derail both our careers, and I’ve got no desire to spend more time than necessary in Tim’s surly presence. And falling for him again? Ha! That’s never going to happen.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">So with my job on the line, I say yes. Now, the more time I spend with Tim, the more I sense a softer side beneath those chiseled muscles and broody exterior. But the more I understand him, the harder it is to pretend that we're just for show.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And when a rival player threatens to expose our secret, I’m terrified I’ll lose everything.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">They say you have to fake it to make it. But what happens when love is the goal?</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: center;"><b>About Stacy Travis</b></p>
<p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: center;">It’s a rough world out there, and we all sometimes need a good, romantic beach read, even if we can’t make it to the beach. I’ve spent many lazy days walking the streets of Paris and other gorgeous European cities, and if I’m doing it right, I’m bringing you a dash of romance and a vacay fantasy.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: center;">I can’t sit still, so when I’m not hiking, biking or running, I’m playing a very average game of tennis. Background music for writing undoubtedly features some U2, Lizzo, Billy Joel, Pink, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily in that order. And if I could only eat one food group, it would be cheese. Or wine. Or bread. Are those food groups? Whatever.</p>

Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond

her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much

focuses on Tom, Ginny's ex husband, and his quest back to finding
himself and a partner who will be just that -- a partner. <br /><br />Tom
met Mika at a party years ago, and she was instantly falling for him. He
wanted to continue their friendship, but she refused noting the pain of
loving a man she couldn't have. They both moved on - him with Ginny and
her with a new love that tragically died after they conceived a child. <br /><br />Now
they're reconnected. Mika, an artist, has a daughter about to graduate
from high school, and while they technically live in New York, they're
in Arizona so that she can finish her latest creative piece and her
daughter can finish school. Tom is finding himself, and realizes that he
gave everything for Ginny and didn't really get anything in return.
Ginny's career always came first, even at the expense of his, and later
in their marriage Tom's needs were second. <br /><br />As these two find
themselves together, the families start to merge, you find that he's
finally met his "match" in an equal partner, and one that puts him as a
priority. Of course, Chloe has her hands in all of this, as does others.
<br /><br />We also get a bit more insight into Hale and his involvement with the reporter, Elsa. <br /></p>

<p>She looked beyond him and called, “Hey, Mom.”</p><p>Suddenly, Tom felt like he’d been punched in the chest, his breath not coming easy.</p><p>Dragging some in, he turned and saw Mika standing there.</p><p>She was wearing a kaftan dress with a low V at the neck, draping sleeves and a string through an empire waist that gathered the material. The print on a black background was mostly reds, oranges and pinks with bright accents of green and blue and turquoise. She had some flat, embroidered mules on her feet. And her still-golden hair was up in a messy knot on top of her head.</p><p>Even though she was dressed like she was hanging around the house, she wore makeup. Mostly neutral but with black cat’s-eye, drawing focus to her eyes and the startling sea-blue color of the iris. She had some delicate chain bracelets at her wrists and a number of piercings in her ears, with studs or small hoops running up the shell, and dangling beads coming from the lobe. </p><p>She looked the picture of what a poet, photographer, novelist, filmmaker would look like. An easy style that was not unique, but she made it that way.<br />She was also still one of the most attractive women he’d ever laid eyes on.<br />In fact, he’d go so far as saying she was in the top two, vying for number one.</p><p>“Tom,” she greeted.</p><p>“Mika,” he replied, and then was surprised yet again in his short visit to her home.</p>

<p>He saw a soft pink rise in her cheeks, the kind a woman got when she felt nervous or didn’t know what to do with flattery, something he hadn’t offered, unless she caught it in his gaze.</p><p style="text-align: left;">She looked to her daughter and ordered, “Scram, kid.”</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">If you love second chance, single parent romance, pining, a couple over 40, redemption and forgiveness, this is the book for you.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Decades ago, tennis superstar Tom Pierce and “It Girl” Mika Stowe met at a party.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Mika fell in love. Tom was already in love with his wife. As badly as Tom wanted Mika as a friend, Mika knew it would hurt too much to be attracted to this amazing man and never be able to have him.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">They parted ways for what they thought would be forever, only to reconnect just once, when unspeakable tragedy darkens Mika’s life.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Years later, the impossible happens.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">A time comes when they’re both unattached.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But now Tom has made a terrible mistake. A mistake so damaging to the ones he loves, he feels he’ll never be redeemed.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Mika has never forgotten how far and how fast she fell when she met him, but Tom’s transgression is holding her distant from reaching out.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">There are matchmakers in their midst, however.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And when the plot has been unleashed to make that match, Tom and Mika are thrown into an international intrigue that pits them against a Goliath of the sports industry.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Now they face a massive battle at the same time they’re navigating friendship, attraction, love, family, grief, redemption, two very different lives lived on two opposite sides of a continent and a box full of kittens.</p>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">When Donovan St. James’ precocious charge asks him—no questions asked—to tail the doctor who keeps their ragtag team patched up, he wants to refuse. Not because the saucy teen is getting too big for her britches, ordering him around like a mob boss, but because the woman stirs feelings in him he would rather not explore. However, when evil threatens the doc’s life, he realizes he has no choice. Sia saved his life once. He will try to return the favor. He just prays he can do it without losing his heart.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Running from the supernatural entity that has destroyed entire worlds to have her, Sia thought she’d found a haven on Earth with a motley team of warriors protecting the girl destined to save humanity. But when Sia’s found, she realizes something on this plane is more scrumptious than her: that very teen. So, she runs—and Donovan St. James follows. Nothing is more alluring than a scruffy biker with a lacerating gaze. And she vows to tell him that…if they survive.</p>

<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What are you doing?” a smooth, deep voice asked from behind her.</p><p>Sia spun around, fear and guilt seizing her lungs, though she couldn’t fathom what she had to feel guilty about. She clutched her phone to her chest, her gaze darting about. Because that surely was a great look on her. “Nothing,” she said after a moment. “What are you doing?”</p><p>Donovan’s dark lashes lowered over irises shimmering softly in the streetlamp’s light as he studied her. He tilted his head to one side, causing a lock of dark hair to fall over his brow. “Is everything okay, Doc?” </p><p>Forcing a smile at that point in her life was like peeling taffy that had melted and then cooled again off her car dashboard, but she finally managed to do it. “Of course. Why wouldn’t it be?” She tried to cross her arms over her chest and lean against a stack of crates. She failed and almost landed face-first on the pavement.</p><p>He rushed forward, but she caught herself and smoothed a hand over her hair.</p><p>“How’s Elwyn?” she asked, deflecting. Her cheeks burned, and she thanked the powers for low light. Blushing was another human trait she despised.After a long moment, Donovan lifted a shoulder. “You’d know better than me, you being her medic and all.” </p><p>Medic. Wasn’t that a military term? Had he served? Donovan had been the first member of the group she’d met when she walked up to the main house of the Loehr’s compound, the one constructed to keep Charley’s daughter safe. Knowing that Charley wasn’t around to contest her proclamation, Sia had pretended to be a friend of Charley’s from school. She’d told them that Charley had asked her to keep an eye on Elwyn and offered her services. A man named Garrett Swopes, another of Elwyn’s guardians, had hired her on the spot as Donovan watched their interaction. </p><p>Coincidentally, Donovan was also the first of the ragtag team she’d treated when he laid down his bike to avoid getting beheaded by a truck that had pulled out in front of him. And yet, even after all these years, she still knew so little about him. </p><p>Her phone pinged, and she read the text from Benji. Run, Sia. And believe nothing.</p>
