Lucy Kevin - 2017
Lucy Kevin is the "sweet" pen-name of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre (who writes the #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans). Lucy Kevin books are fun, flirty and romantic―without the steamy scenes. BE MY LOVE (Walker Island #1) After four years on the Seattle mainland, when Hanna Walker returns to Walker Island to make a documentary about the infamous Peterson-Walker feud from the early 1950s, she's shocked to realize that passions still run high. Especially when it comes to Joel Peterson, the one man who is totally off-limits...but that she's never been able to stop dreaming about. The last thing Joel wants is for Hanna to dredge up the past, but when he realizes she's determined to follow through with her documentary no matter what, he knows he has no choice but to join her. But despite vowing to hold back his growing feelings for her, as Joel works with Hanna to unravel the mystery of what really happened between their two families, he soon begins to see that love is an unstoppable force...and that sometimes two people are meant to be. NO OTHER LOVE (Walker Island #2) Morgan Walker, makeup artist to the stars, never thought she'd leave New York City to come back to Walker Island. But when she is tapped to headline her own TV makeover show, she decides it's the perfect time to launch her organic makeup line made from flowers and plants grown on the Walker family plot of land. While she's really excited about getting to spend a few weeks with the sisters and grandmother she doesn't see nearly often enough, she's equally worried about the possibility of seeing Brian Russell again. Because even though they broke up seven years ago, she's never been able to forget him. Not for one single day... WHEN IT’S LOVE (Walker Island #3) Once upon a time, Rachel Walker longed for—and sought out—adventure. But after her boyfriend found out she was pregnant and left her to raise her daughter Charlotte alone six years ago, she put her wild child days behind her. For good. So when Rachel's sister needs her to step in to help film a TV show with professional surfer Nicholas Quinn on Walker Island, she isn't the least bit worried about losing her heart to him.

J.C. Cliff - 2017
Over 40k words! - It's not just another mission. This time there's no way out - What starts out as just another undercover mission, quickly becomes a complex, twisted, and mind-bending adventure. What happens when the woman I once loved, and had to let go because of my secret career, suddenly becomes part of the job? I never believed in love. No matter how intelligent and logical I was, I seemed to only attract the crazy ones, or women who latched on too tight. The ones who saw my intellect as a meal ticket, rather than wanting me for me. UNTIL I ENCOUNTERED HER. Valerie Carsen was beautiful, smart, and compassionate. A genuine contributor to society, who wanted to dedicate her life to helping others. She was the one I met while I was undercover on a long mission with my team, Atrox Security. But I let her get to know the real me. Stryker, the man behind all the fake names and secret tasks. Everything about me, EXCEPT MY PROFESSION. We were together for almost a year, when she discovered me with another woman while I was working on the assignment. Unable to explain what was really going on, I had to let her go. Six years later, fate rears its head once again, putting Valerie in the place of my team's actual target, right in my hands - literally. It wasn't even supposed to be my mission, but after an accident leaves me being the only one left for the job, I can't help but think the stars aligned to bring us back together. This story can be read without prior knowledge of "The Blyss Trilogy or Quinn", however some parts that are referenced will be more enjoyable if you are already familiar with J.C. Cliff's bestselling Blyss Triology. Erotic steamy scenes, suspense, obsession, betrayal, lies, all interspersed with humor are woven together to bring you a one of a kind storyline which will eventually end in an HEA.
