Spotlight: Sacked by Aleatha Romig

Release Date: July 27

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Second chance romance. Football dynasty. High-stakes betrayal.

My life, my career, my future—was built on the Hubbards’ legacy: honor, heritage, tradition.
Or so I believed.

Now it’s all falling apart.

The Coopers aren’t just a football team.
They’re power, secrets, and emotional warfare.

Under the bright lights of Crystal Light Stadium, the real game is finally clear.

This isn’t just about the Super Bowl—
It’s about protecting my family’s dynasty at any cost.

And this is when he walks back into my life.

The man from my past.
My biggest regret… and my greatest weakness.

He wants a second chance.
A place beside me in a game ruled by loyalty, lies, and betrayal.

But in this world, trust is a risk.
And desire is a liability.

Because what we share…
It’s explosive. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.

And it might be the one thing that brings everything crashing down.

Because football isn’t just a game.

It’s power. It’s legacy. It’s survival.
And I’ll stop at nothing to keep it alive.

Spotlight: I've Got a Crush on You by Lauren Blakely

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU, the next standalone small town romance in her bestselling Darling Springs rom com series! This spicy, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, workplace, forbidden small town romantic comedy answers the question: what happens when the guy you had a super hot one-night-stand with turns out to be your grumpy new boss/landlord! I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU is now available in all formats and free to read in Kindle Unlimited! Check out the excerpt below, and one-click your copy today!

My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.

But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.

A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.

Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.

Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.

But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.

Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.

Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.

Excerpt

SAWYER

“Just like I remembered.”

Her shoulders shudder, and she sounds buzzed as she asks, “Yeah? What did you remember?”

“How good you taste. Your cinnamon scent. The way you melt when I kiss your neck,” I murmur against her soft skin, kissing the column of her throat now.

“It’s my lotion. It’s from Kind. All my lotions are. And bodywashes. I love them,” she says, breathless, babbling as she mentions the brand too, like I needed to know that. It’s sexy, though, the fact that she’s not thinking clearly enough to edit her thoughts. She’s just rambling as I kiss her. And it feels like a peek behind the curtain into her feminine world.

“Drives me crazy,” I say as I travel back up her neck, finding her mouth once more and sealing my lips over hers.

She claws at my shirt as I kiss her. I thread my hands through her hair. The song ends. The car’s quiet for a beat, the only sounds the rustling of clothes, the slide of our mouths, the staccato breaths.

When the next Sam Cooke tune begins, I stop pretending I’m willing to let this night end in the car. I break the kiss, run my thumb across her top lip, then nod toward her home. “What’s it going to be?”

She nibbles on the corner of her bee-stung lips. That just-been-kissed look is real good on her. “What are you offering?”

“You want me to surprise you again, Chloe?” A tremble seems to rush through her. I can hardly wait another second. “Let me come inside, sweetheart.”

Spotlight: Nautilus by Nick Croydon

The explosive sequel to the bestselling The Turing Protocol asks a chilling question: what happens when the power to rewrite the past becomes a weapon?

Nautilus is no ordinary machine. Created by Alan Turing during World War II, it can send messages eight weeks back in time—a discovery so dangerous that Turing established strict protocols for its use. Only members of his bloodline can operate it, and only to prevent global catastrophe.

For decades, the rules have held.

Until now.

Annabelle Turing has inherited custody of Nautilus, unaware that the man she trusts most—her husband, Edward—has secrets of his own. Edward sees the machine not as a safeguard for humanity, but as the key to unimaginable wealth, influence and control.

But he isn’t the only one hunting Nautilus.

Across the globe, shadowy factions are closing in, determined to exploit the machine’s power to manipulate markets, topple governments and reshape history itself. As rival forces converge, Annabelle is thrust into a deadly race against time to protect the one invention capable of saving the world—or destroying it forever.

Because once the past can be controlled, no future is safe.

Spotlight: Just A Little Tempted by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde

Release Date: July 28

I never meant to fall for my boss.

When I was hired to be Simon’s assistant, everyone warned me he was impossible—brilliant, demanding, and obsessed with control. But after surviving two months of his rules and grumpy attitude, I’ve learned how to manage my boss. Maybe it’s my chaotic upbringing or the fact that I desperately need this job, but I can’t ignore the moments when his guarded edges soften… even if he pretends they don’t.

Then one nervous slip in front of a major client turns into a fake relationship neither of us can back out of. Now I’m Simon’s “girlfriend,” attending dinners, traveling for meetings, and sharing far too much close proximity with the man I’m not supposed to want. Pretending to belong to him shouldn’t feel real—but it does. And the hardest part isn’t keeping up the lie. It’s realizing I’m falling for him for real.
