Forged by Fire (Forged by Fire)


Eddie Cleveland - 2018
    The only reason I said all that crap is because I was trying to get laid.” I can see the last glimmers of hope dying out in her eyes like the fading streaks of rosy sunlight across the sunset. I want to shut my mouth. I want to tell her I’m lying. That I love her with my entire body, mind, and soul. But if I do that, if I tell her the truth, she may never get out of here. She deserves more than that. She deserves more than me. I’m the bad guy. The one who destroyed Karen Baker’s heart and sent her packing. I’ve had to live with that decision everyday for the past four years. I had to sacrifice my happiness for hers. I gave up our future together for a chance to live her dream. Somehow life kept going. Years passed in a blur. I never expected to be voted in as the deputy fire chief of our department tonight and I definitely didn’t expect to see Karen walk in here. She looks like an angel. She’s so perfect, I wonder if I’m hallucinating. But it’s not a dream. It’s real. She’s really back and she really hates me. I don’t have much time to try to explain how wrong I was, to get her back, to make her mine. Because when she leaves this time, it'll be forever. **Forged by Fire is the first book in a small town, firefighter series. It can be read as a standalone. This novel has no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.**

Mr. Dom


Kelli Callahan - 2017
    It haunted my mind, teased my thoughts, and always remained unfulfilled. Then a chance encounter revealed a secret about the hot-as-sin older man living next door. He's everything I've desired, everything I've needed, and when he locked his eyes on me -- I knew I would be his. Ethan: There is a piece of me that I've kept buried for a very long time. The need for sweet surrender -- it was intoxicating. I never expected to find it buried in the thoughts of the beautiful virgin next door, but when I caught her spying on a private moment, I realized she was everything I craved. She is mine. Kelli's Note: This is a steamy standalone novella with a HEA and no cheating! I'm a girl that likes wild and crazy romances, so that is exactly what you get from me. My heroes might be a little over-the-top with a touch of caveman and you'll get some angst along the way, but I promise that the good parts will give you a plenty of reasons to read this all by yourself!

Claimed By The Cowboys


Jenny Klaire - 2016
    Many months after her husband's passing, she takes a job at a dude ranch, purely because of the revolving door of wanna-be cowboys that she knows are looking for the full cowboy experience, including a warm, willing, no-strings-attached woman warming their bunk at night. Only Rose didn't expect that it would be the ranch's owners who would claim her attentions instead. Hot brothers Cade and Kevin, together, keep Rose way busier than any dude ranch guests ever could. The billionaire cowboys each run one part of the ranch's operation. Kevin runs the working ranch, taking care of the cattle and such, while Cade controls the dude ranch portion, but Rose soon discovers a third income stream the two rich cowboys hadn't revealed in the hot interview process... Note: This story was originally published as a two piece serial, written by Jamie Klaire. Once Jamie Klaire decided to separate cowboy romances from her short story pen name, Jenny Klaire was born. This story does have 50% more now than it used to. Due to reader requests, I put the original parts 1 and 2 together and then I wrote basically a part 3 and 4, making this novel size with double the original content. Enjoy!
