Secret Crush's Baby
Ember Flint - 2019
Ryker has kept his feelings to himself for years, but even the strongest man has a breaking point… and she just f**king pushed him through it. 34-year-old Ryker Forrest is the all-powerful, stern and imposing CEO of Forrest Holdings, his family multinational enterprise, and very few people are allowed to see his more playful side, but there’s a thing even his nearest and dearest don’t know about him.He has a secret.He might be the most sought-after, eligible, debonair bachelor in the state of New York, but he hasn’t been on a date in seven years.Not since he met someone that grabbed ahold of his heart and never let go, but she can never know.He wishes he could talk with his best friend about it, but something tells him the guy would be none too pleased if he knew that someone is his little sister.Izzy Garnet is sweet and shy, the odd one out in a long lawyery dynasty. She’s a 26-year-old eleventh-grade chemistry teacher that has been called ‘geeky’ more times than she could count, but she’s proud to be a nerd and would never let words slow her down. Her totally-up-in-your-business family thinks they have her all figured out, but they don’t know she has a secret. She’s been covertly crushing on her older brother’s best friend since the day they met. Not only Ryker and Izzy unwittingly share a corresponding secret, they also have the same wish: they want a baby. Now. Dear Reader: This HEA-guaranteed story has it all. It’s sweet, filthy fluffiness with NO-cheating and no OW/OM drama and features baby-making-fever, an innocent but willful curvy heroine that is totally oblivious to her luck, a possessive, just-this-side-of-crazy, over-the-top alpha hero that does more growling than any sexy man should be permitted to do and an off-the-pages, slow burn love that will jump at you from the start and melt your Kindle into a gooey puddle. So what do you think? Are these clueless two going to immediately own up to their feelings or will they come up with a wacky plan that allows them to have everything and nothing at the same time?Option B, ladies and gentlemen. Option B all the way. I’ve given you sweet heroes with filthy in them, and filthy heroes with a sweet filling, but probably never someone as dirty as Ryker. You have been warned!
Stroked
Lena Lucas - 2020
Mesmerized. Obsessed.Daisy walked into that bar on New Year’s Eve looking like she wanted to run in the other direction, like she was out of her element.And it made me desire her even more. She seemed shy, so very innocent, and young… maybe too young for me.But I knew nothing could keep me from her. So I approached her with every intent that no matter what, I’d make her realize we were meant to be in each other’s life. We spoke for hours, nestled in the corner in our own world.It was perfection, and the first time I ever felt complete.And then I kissed her, that age old tradition when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s. I didn’t expect her to wrap herself around me. I didn’t expect her to whisper for me to take her home.But what Daisy didn’t know was that she’d awoken something in me that I didn’t know was dead. She was the first woman to make my heart start beating, to make me fall in love. It was fast, instantaneous. It was the feeling a man got when he bonded with a woman, when his soul imprinted on hers.I was possessive, territorial. No one would tell me it was too fast. Not when nothing had ever felt more right.At the end of the night, until the end of the world, Daisy would know without a doubt that she was mine and mine alone.Lena’s note: I know you like them fast and right to the point so don’t worry, this one gives you all the goods but with a healthy dose of romance thrown in.
