What Happened in Vegas
Mika Jolie - 2020
Last-Name-Unknown—and his dig at my job as a social media influencer.But forgetting his words, or more importantly, the attraction we shared pre-insult seems nearly impossible. Especially when I end up stuck in an elevator with him in NYC. And he's infuriatingly gorgeous—wearing a suit that looks like it was made specifically for him. It probably was.Sparks definitely fly—only it isn’t just anger. The attraction we felt in Sin City still sizzles between us. And his abs of steel and killer smile are definitely affecting my lady parts.I probably shouldn’t forgive him. Besides, I’m leaving in a few days… Yet, the silver-tongued lawyer manages to work his way back into my good graces…and into my bed.So, can what happened in Vegas lead to forever in New York?
Mountain Rough
Kelli Callahan - 2018
Mandy: I won a trip to a beautiful resort in the Blue Ridge mountains. I thought it was going to be the perfect vacation until things took a turn for the worst. My best friend bailed on me at the last minute and the resort looked like something out of a horror movie. It definitely didn't look like the paradise I saw in the brochure. The only saving grace was Red, a rough man with a grizzled voice that set my heart on fire. He was unbelievable hot, with muscles as big as the mountain itself. He made me question my innocence and put thoughts in my head that no virgin should have. All of that happened before he leaned in and told me that he was going to claim me as his own. Red: I found solace in the Blue Ridge mountains when I returned home after having enough of the so-called real world. My family's resort was a disaster and I was determined to rebuild it. I never imagined I would end up with an unexpected guest. Her delicious curves drew me in. Her luscious lips needed to be crushed beneath mine. I didn't care if she was untouched. I didn't care if she was pure. She needed a rough man's touch and I was going to give it to her. I wasn't just going to be her first, I was going to be her last. Kelli's Note: If you're looking for insta-love and suspense, you're in the right place. My job is to make your panties melt if you forgot to leave them at the door. If that is what you're looking for, then you definitely want to dream about a Real Rough Man tonight.

Savage Beast (Prophets MC; Angels from Hell #1)
Evelyn Glass - 2018
VAL
It’s been almost two months since I took my baby daughter and ran for the hills. We had to get away from my abusive ex. He’d given me enough black eyes and sleepless nights to last a lifetime. And my little girl deserves a better father than a devil like him. For a little bit, it seems like we’d made it out safe. I might be stripping to pay the bills. But it’s worth it if that’s what it takes to feed my daughter, to keep a roof over our heads. And there’s something liberating about getting on that stage. Up there, with my legs around a pole and pounding music in my ears, I can be anybody. I can be anonymous. Powerful. Free. And then it all comes crashing down. It started with a simple request for a dance. But when I saw who was asking, my blood froze in my veins. The outlaw biker waiting in the champagne room was like something out of a romance novel: Rugged, tatted, leather-bound, unbelievably huge. I gave him what he wanted. And that might just be the last thing I ever do.
MERCER

The scum on my hit list are usually criminals of some kind: low life thugs, dirty drug dealers – you get the idea. They deserve what’s coming to them. But Val was different. There was something in her eyes – something fragile. Special. Worth protecting. And when I find out she has a baby girl at home… The job gets that much harder. But my employer tells me I don’t have a choice. Get it done, he says. Put her down and move on with your life. So I go through the steps. I find her at the club where she dances. Take her to a room in the back. Tell her I know who she is – who she really is. Her jaw drops. I can see her eyeing the door. Getting ready to run. And then I tell her the ugly, bloody truth: I’m the man who’s been sent to kill her. SAVAGE BEAST is a full-length, standalone, super steamy, bad boy motorcycle club romance novel from bestselling author EVELYN GLASS.

The romance between the alpha male bad boy and the fiery woman he can't resist ends with a guaranteed happily ever after (HEA) ending, has absolutely NO CHEATING, and does NOT include a cliffhanger of any kind.
