Spotlight: Saving Romance by SE Rose

Release Date: April 27

Carly Maxwell has spent the last three years putting her life back together.

This single mom works hard as a teacher to help her daughter have everything she needs. It hasn’t been easy. She’s done it all alone. After a bad breakup, she swore off men and focused on her career, friends, and being a mom. The one constant in her life has been her neighbor. He’s been there for her through everything. He’s the perfect guy, and she’d never do anything to threaten their friendship.

Brayden Murphy hasn’t dated in years. His no serious relationship rule has kept him from even considering asking out his gorgeous neighbor, Carly. After all, he promised Carly’s daughter that he’d always be there for them. And he’d never forgive himself if he ruined that.

These two have pushed each other so far into the friend zone that they can’t even see the chemistry between them. But will sharing a villa while at a destination wedding change everything?

Spotlight: Chasing Love by Kat Mizera

Release Date: April 27

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Sometimes the wrong heartbreak leads you straight to the right love story.

I came to Atlanta to forget the woman who shattered my heart.

As captain of the NHL’s newest expansion team, hockey is my only priority. No distractions. No dating. And definitely no redheads.

Then I find her stranded on the side of the road during an ice storm—fierce, stubborn, and very, very redheaded.

Now we’re stuck together.
One apartment.
One bed.
Three days of forced proximity.

She doesn’t trust hockey players.
I don’t date redheads.
Perfect.

Except we both love to cook.
We both love her kid.
And somewhere between midnight conversations and shared meals, no way turns into maybe.

There’s just one problem.

Her ex—the guy who broke her—is my biggest rival on the ice.

I’ve already lost to him professionally. I won’t lose again. Not my team. Not my heart.

But the single mom who swore she’d never date a hockey player again?
She might be the only woman I can’t skate away from.

Chasing Love is for readers who love: a cinnamon roll hockey captain, single mom, Only one bed, Forced proximity, Friends to lovers, Rival ex.

Zachary Bennett is the mistake I never regretted.

Fifteen years later, I make a living untangling love when it goes wrong.

He lives in airports and boardrooms and never lets anyone get too close.

Whenever he’s in Seattle, we meet for dinner.

Always platonic. Too much eye contact. Not enough honesty.

Then a wedding invitation lands in our inboxes.

Prague. A castle. Our oldest friends finally saying yes.

He offers his private jet. Obnoxious. Excessive.

Exactly what I should refuse.

Of course, I say yes.

Skylar Morgan is the one thing I never closed.

Brilliant. Controlled. Fiercely independent.

The only woman who ever walked away from me.

I’ve respected her boundaries for far too long.

For once, I’m not letting distance decide for us.

Prague is waiting.

So is the past.

When a missing nun from a wealthy seaside town is found dead in the woods, Hero Viridian – a half-demon, disgraced ex-nun-turned-investigator – is ordered to unravel the case. With the stink of demonic involvement surrounding the murder, who better to deal with it than a woman with something to prove, eyes of literal flame and a direct connection to hell? 

However, when those who sought her help turn against her, a vulnerable Hero must rely on an unlikely partner, Oleander Keen – a Demonhunter who has already tried to kill her. 

In an uneasy stalemate, the pair follow clues to a mysterious academy at the edge of town that’s appeared from thin air, with connections to the dead nun and reports of missing children. Nobody dares to speak ill of this vaunted institution, which has a sinister presence lurking within it, one Hero recognises as an ancient evil that's hungry for souls…
