Act Your Age by Eve Dangerfield Spicy
Daddy Dearest
He’s already her boss, now he wants to be her Daddy... All Kate 'Middleton' McGrath wants is a man to call 'Daddy' in bed. But kinks aren't for everyone. She gets it.

Especially when he's always so stern with her… Tyler Henderson is a golden boy who's lost his shine. He's old, his dream career is over, his fiancée left him. Now all the former firefighter can do is bury his troubles in paperwork and hard liquor... and try to keep Middleton out of his head. He's not going anywhere near that girl. He's done with sweet and innocent. And things don't come much sweeter or more innocent than a cupcake-baking engineer who knits her own hats. When a case of mistaken identity forces Kate and Ty together, the naive sweetheart and the reformed playboy realize they have more in common, and more to lose, than either of them could have predicted…

When a new job seems to promise both of those things – her enigmatic new boss finally making her break up with her fictional love interests – things don’t go quite to plan. When a one-night stand turns into an intimate arrangement, Cathy has to quickly change her opinion of herself, and redraw the parameters of her life to be with the man she knows she's falling for, even though he has no intention of falling for her back.

For The Fans by Nyla K Very Spicy
Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who’s awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he’s a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he’s also my stepbrother. That’s right. We’re stuck together, sharing a school, a house… A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn’t care… If he wasn’t such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we’re different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college… Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position. Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it. Avi Vega is everything I despise. A dreamer. A flake. An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he’s now my stepbrother, following me on what should’ve been my escape plan. It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let’s just say my options are heavily limited. If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I’ll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan. Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off. As long as we remember we’re only doing it… for the fans.

And I wasn’t any different. I fell hard for the wolf in sheep’s clothing, or more likely, an undercover FBI agent disguised as my bodyguard to get close to my brother. By the time I discover who he really was, my heart was already his. And when his mission ends, everything I loved comes crashing down. Too bad some lies don’t just break hearts. They destroy lives.

Stupid, Childish Games by Cecilia Perry Spicy
In this slow-burn, grumpy-sunshine, strangers-to-enemies-to-lovers, best friend’s brother, single dad, age gap romance, heads clash, insults are thrown, and sparks fly. Meet Dr. Peyton Andersen, a 28-year-old Canadian pediatrician with a sunny personality but poor self-esteem, who can’t seem to avoid the insufferable father of her new patient, no matter where she turns. For every interaction, she grows more certain that he hates her and enjoys making her suffer—it’s the only reasonable explanation for his behaviour. Surely, someone that accomplished and handsome would have no other interest in someone like her? Dr. Henry Moore has every reason to be grumpy—he’s a 40-year-old widower with a high-pressure job as a thoracic surgeon; three daughters at completely different stages of development (ranging in age from 4.5 to 13), including one who doesn’t speak to him at all and one who is up coughing half the night; and he recently moved his family from the UK to Canada to get away from the bad memories plaguing him. He swore off love when he lost his wife four years ago, but something changes the moment he lays eyes on his youngest daughter’s new pink-haired, sassy pediatrician. If only he weren’t completely tongue-tied in her presence, and she didn’t hate his guts.

Sweet Ruin by Nicole Fox Warm
Makov Bratva
I just realized how I know my husband's mistress. She's been standing next to me in a lifetime of Christmas cards. Because she's my sister. Vivian has been the pretty one since 1997. She's a size two. I'm... not. For thirty-one years, that has defined our entire relationship. She's the golden child. The queen bee. She's prettier, skinnier, and if I have something she wants... She takes it. I wouldn't have known about her latest and greatest theft if it weren't for the iCloud notification. "Vivian Dorsey has added 3 new videos to the Dorsey Sisters shared album." First, I recognized my own bedspread. Then I recognized the wedding ring on the hand pawing my sister's hip. It's my husband's. Against all odds, I didn't even cry. Instead, I got organized. We're talking screenshots. Text messages. Even a hotel receipt from an illicit rendezvous... On the night of our father's funeral. Yuck. Plus a loan against my bakery, signed in my name. By Connor. I put it all together into one neat little PowerPoint. This year, I'LL volunteer to run the family's holiday slideshow. Ten minutes before showtime, I hide in the pantry to rehearse. But what I don't know is that I'm not alone. A smirking, arrogant, green-eyed stranger listens to my entire speech. And then gives me a standing ovation. "Cheaters deserve to be ruined," he says. "Go get them." So I do. Fifty of our nearest and dearest gather 'round to watch as evidence of my husband's and sister's affair dances across the projector screen. Revenge has never tasted sweeter. But that's not the end of the story. Because that green-eyed stranger who encouraged me to go for the throat? He's not some cousin's anonymous plus-one. Kane Makov is why my husband's been sweating since October. He came here tonight to ruin Connor himself. I just beat him to it. "Your husband owed me a debt," he says. "I think I'll take you as repayment instead."

Cinnamon Roll Alphas
Tom Castle didn’t mean to fall in love with his best friend’s girl, and he never expected to see her again after their relationship imploded. But that’s definitely Finn Carey glaring at him from the other side of the apartment where they’re stuck riding out this Chicago blizzard together. The good news: Finn’s as gorgeous as ever. The bad news: she obviously still blames him for her breakup. Tom tried to leave his feelings for Finn in the past, but it’s hard not to slip into old habits when he’s using her shower, eating her food, and thawing her icy exterior enough to make her laugh. Then the power goes out, and Finn’s body heat might be the difference between life and... okay, probably not death. But frostbite at the very least. Sharing a bed with Finn is even hotter than Tom’s wildest dreams, and one night isn’t going to be enough for him. So he’ll just have to convince her that she’s always been the one for him before the storm clears and he loses her forever.

Ace Sterling. Six years. That's how long I've been texting a woman who won't reply. Every birthday. Every Christmas. Every night I'm drunk enough to be honest and sober enough to hit send. Harper Jones. My Goldie. She stole my heart, ground it to dust and then drove it to Los Angeles without even looking back. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, she's been protecting my family from the shadows this whole time. She loves me in silence and lets me think she doesn't. When she walks back into New Falls with secrets that could ignite a war between two of the most dangerous mafia families in the country, it feels like the second chance I've been desperate for. Then I find her tied up in my cousin's barn with another man's ring on her finger. I don't buy it. Won’t. Because there is no me without my soulmate, and the second she stops loving me, my heart will stop beating. So I hold on, the way I always do. Eight seconds at a time. But this town is crawling with enemies I don't see coming. Alliances that aren't what they seem. And someone is pulling strings that none of us can trace until it's too late. So I’m forced to let the woman I love walk down the aisle toward another man. But that isn’t the end of our story… That’s the declaration of war. One phone call changes everything. No words. Just the sound of her breathing. And I know. She's not just calling for herself anymore. They say second chances don't come around twice. They're right. This is our third. And it's the last one either of us will need, because she will always be the only woman I’ll ever love. They think because I ride bulls, I'm just a cowboy. But every Sterling has a line. Cross it, and the cowboy disappears. What's left ain't ranching. It's reckoning.
