Midnight by Elizabeth Miller: One destined meeting. It alters journalist, Charlise “Charlie” Carter’s course. When asked to work on a Republican candidate’s campaign, she’s unprepared for the intense reaction she has toward the young, handsome presidential hopeful, Colin McKenna. Unable to resist Charlie’s allure, McKenna succumbs to his desire and they find themselves exploring a passionate, physical relationship that is soon tested by not only their own secrets, but his political advisers.
Not at First by Phalla S. Rios: Falling for two men at the same time was something Angel Mabbott never expected to happen. Leaving a past full of pain and loss in California, Angel is determined to make something of her life when she starts college in Minneapolis. But life takes a turn when she finds herself torn between Kevin and Roman.
Commitment to Love by Bev Elle: A preacher’s daughter is torn between passion and her faith convictions when she meets a handsome police officer who is a womanizing commitment-phobe with abandonment issues.
One Hot Summer by Lisa M. Harley: “Whatever you say, Mrs. Mason. It won’t happen again.” He mumbled under his breath, “Until you ask for it.” AnaBelle Mason is a lonely widow trying to run the farm her husband left her. Tray Thompson is a college student majoring in beer and girls. Will One Hot Summer together change their lives forever?
Fade to Black by M. Stratton: She was a single mother, happy running her gallery, he was a famous movie star who never wanted to get married. Neither can deny the instant attraction. Neither knew there was an ex-lover who’d do anything to make sure they stayed apart.
Striving for Perfection by B.L. Mooney: She thinks perfection is a gimmick. He thinks it’s an illusion. Can they get past each other’s imperfections to make it work?
Heartless by Vanessa Marie: Charlie has good reasons for keeping her bruised, damaged heart to herself, but Sam will do whatever it takes to break down her walls and force his way in. Until they discover that their relationship is off limits. Will Charlie deny her own happiness to protect everything her teacher has worked for? In a broken heartbeat.
Stormy Surrender by Nicole Andrews Moore: Joe Masters, a fiery ginger, had a smile that could charm the pants off of any woman he met. Marti Whitaker was recently burned by a charming man. Their romance promised to be stormy unless one or both would simply surrender.
Storm Front by Lisa N. Paul: Love knows no bounds when two people are destined to be together. One fights to maintain the distance; while the other battles to close the gap. Will Ashley Kynde and Ryan Baker move forward together or will they finally close the last remaining door to their past?

EXCERPT
Chapter 1, Commitment to Love
Chapter 1, Commitment to Love
Alaina
finally opened the door to acknowledge the policeman. She prepared herself
mentally for the drill she’d perfected with Officer Padgett, but was surprised
as he removed his cap, to see a much younger officer. In fact, this man was
gorgeous. Had she taken a better look earlier, she might have hurried her Gigi
off the phone sooner.
“Officer—”
She eyed his nametag: N. Heath Stanton and wondered why he chose to conceal his
first name. “—Stanton, how may I help you?” She registered bold sea-green
eyes that regarded her with either intense interest or curiosity. She couldn’t
decide which. Alaina also noted with a mental fist pump, the absence of a
wedding ring.
He
was about a foot taller than her five foot four-inch frame, sans the ambitious
heels she wore. While not rock-star thin, she thought she spied sinewy muscle
definition under his uniform blues. A shock of haphazard dark brown hair no
longer hidden by the cap adorned his head.
“I’m
Officer Heath Stanton, TPD. I’m looking for the director of the center.” He
lacked the southern drawl she expected, his sexy voice more of a mid-western
twang. He couldn’t be more than a few years older than her twenty-three, but
his demeanor was all business at the moment.
“That would be me. Alaina Parker.” She offered
a hand and they shared a firm shake.
The
touch of his skin made her face grow warm. She crossed her arms over her
chest and narrowed her eyes. A visit from a police officer other than Padgett,
their liaison, could only mean one thing.
“What? Do I have another delinquent in TPD’s custody?” she asked.
”No,
ma’am. I just wanted to come by and introduce myself. Captain Harrison assigned
me to cover the property and surrounding community as the new liaison. Officer
Padgett was reassigned.”
Alaina’s
expression exhibited mild surprise. Her complaints had finally been taken
seriously. She stepped aside and motioned for him to come in.
“Thanks,
ma’am.”
“Unless
protocol requires such decorum, please, call me Alaina. My grandmother is the
only woman in my family who answers to Ma’am.” Alaina shook her head and
grinned wider, shifting her weight onto one hip.
Officer
Stanton loosened up a bit. “I’ll call you Alaina if you’ll call me Heath.”
His
sun-kissed skin made him look almost angelic as he stood there, now giving her
the once-over as well. All she knew is he had all the goods to replace
that nameless, faceless dream man who seduced her in her sleep on a regular
basis the past few weeks.
“All
right, Heath and Alaina it is when the children aren’t around. If they learned
our given names our authority would be thoroughly undermined.”
“We
wouldn’t want that.”
“You
have no idea how happy I am to see Officer Padgett replaced.” She lowered her
voice in a conspiratorial fashion even though they were the only two people in
the room. “That man was beyond non-responsive.”
“Since
this is now my assignment, you can be sure I’ll be responsive.” Her candor may
have been off-putting, as she noted an inflection in his tone.
Alaina
was pleased her directness hadn’t rattled him—much. Something in his bearing
clued her in that he could be former military. Although she was not usually
attracted to uniforms like many of her girlfriends, she found herself drawn to
Officer Stanton’s brooding good looks.
