They pretended to be lovers.

But there’s nothing make-believe about the baby on the way.

When Joni Danielson recruits her best friend, Sweet Briar mayor Lex Devlin, to be her fake boyfriend for a wedding, it’s a no-brainer. But their staged kisses lead to real passion—and heartbreak when Lex pulls away. Now Joni’s in a bigger bind: she’s pregnant. Can she and Lex once again fake it till they make it—to a real relationship?

 

One night of temptation leads to more than they bargained for! With the next book in her Sweet Briar Sweethearts series, Kathy Douglass delights her reader with a return to Sweet Briar where small town living is personified. The characters are well-developed and intriguing, and the story line of an unexpected pregnancy between best friends is the shining star. Emotional, charming and oh so satisfying!

Joni Danielson had no idea that asking her best friend to pretend to be her boyfriend for a wedding she had to attend would turn their lives upside down. They’re back home and further apart than they’ve ever been because a few pretend kisses turned into real passion … passion he regretted the next morning. She’s keeping her distance and stewing in her hurt and anger … until she discovers she’s pregnant!

Mayor Lex Devlin adores Joni and just can’t understand why she’s so mad at him. Yes, he crossed a line he shouldn’t have, but shouldn’t they just be able to forget about it and continue their friendship? He’s tried love & marriage before and it just didn’t work out … but hearing they have a baby on the way has him wondering if he needs to give it another try.

ABOUT KATHY DOUGLASS

Kathy is a born reader who as a child always had her nose in a book. She went from reading Bobbsey Twins to romance novels. One day she stumbled upon The Shining by Stephen King and was hooked on horror. When she caught herself checking under the bed and looking in the closet for monsters, she knew it was time to put down the horror and return to romance novels.

Her return was short-lived. She started law school and soon her reading was limited to legal opinions. Then she discovered Harlequin romances. They were short enough to read in a week and she wouldn’t have to search her room before she went to sleep.

When her first child was born, she became a stay at home mom. Her second child soon followed, and reading was limited to children’s books.

All too soon her kids were attending pre-school. Kathy spent those hours renewing her relationship with romance novels. Soon she felt the urge to write the stories she wanted to read. In 2016, Kathy sold to Harlequin. Her first book, How to Steal the Lawman’s Heart, was released in February, 2017. Since then, she has released several more books with Harlequin.

The third book in the Sexy Little Secrets trilogy reunites old flames April and Jamie ten years after their mysterious split. Jamie’s demanding answers—and after a little persuasion, April might just give him some…

It’s been ten years since April Darlington-Hume broke my heart—ten painful years of not knowing why she ran off. But after a very raunchy chance encounter with her at a fund-raiser, I finally had an opportunity to find out what had happened all those years ago. So I came up with a proposal that I knew an ambitious businesswoman like her couldn’t resist.

I’ve agreed to sell her my father’s company, if she admits I’m the only man who’s ever given her real pleasure. And I’m happy to show her what she’s been missing between the sheets all this time. Once I’ve driven her wild with lust, she’ll let her guard down enough for me to tease out her secret from ten years ago.

But it’s hard to be cold and calculating when we’re alone together. Every time we toy with each other, it only reminds me that beneath our scorching desire, there was always a deeper connection that burned even hotter…

 

Decadently naughty! With the third book in her Sexy Little Secrets series, Christy McKellen brings us oldest sister April’s story. She’s reuniting temporarily with her first love and has to fight the attraction she continually feels when around him … until he makes her an offer she can’t refuse that will have her sharing more of herself than she has in years. This steamy, grudge filled plot was a lot of fun!

Ten years ago, April Darlington-Hume broke the heart of the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. Circumstances caused her to walk away, but she’s never forgotten him. Actions he took afterwards made him pretty unforgettable.

Jamie De Montfort can’t believe his luck when he finds himself alone with April at a fundraiser. She likes to talk pretty and act like she cares, but she wouldn’t have left him with no explanation all those years ago if she had. He sees this as a chance to get even. He has something she wants, and he knows she won’t be able to turn down the chance to prosper in the business she loves so much. He plans to make her pay … with pleasure!

The perfect cowboy.

The perfect opportunity.

The perfect deception…

Luxury resort manager Stella Garcia isn’t sure where the mysterious, sexy rancher came from. All she knows is that Dane Michaels rescued her from disaster—before deliciously seducing her with his dark gaze and sizzling touch. She has no idea that Dane is hell-bent on his own agenda. One that starts with pleasuring Stella…and ends with taking everything that is rightfully his.

 

Passion and secrets are in the air! With the first book in the Two Brothers duet, we meet Dane and get some insight into the plan he and his brother have to get back what was rightfully theirs. Dane doesn’t expect to like Stella so much when he arrives at the resort, but there’s no going back from the plan. He only hopes she can forgive him! An interesting premise comes to life with another side of the story yet to come. Down to earth characters, secrets being uncovered and lots of passion flying … can’t wait for Ethan’s story!

Stella Garcia is enjoying managing a luxury resort in the beautiful setting of Gold Valley, Montana, but she’ll enjoy it even more when it belongs to her. She’s tried all of her life to please her perfectionist father and hopes beyond hope that the way she’s turned this property around will finally do the trick and have him signing it over to her.

Rancher Dane Michaels also has his eye on the resort … and the gorgeous manager in charge. He might have to use a little subterfuge, but he’ll get what’s his in the end. Getting to know Stella has him wishing it didn’t have to go down quite the way it does though.
