Spotlight: Between the Chords by Heather Young-Nichols

A steamy, FRIENDS TO LOVERS, coming home, rock star, STANDALONE romance.

He’s always been the one I never let myself have.
And the one I never truly let go.

Luke Wilder has been part of my life since high school—one of my closest friends, full of late-night laughter and almost moments that felt like something more until he left town and became a rock star.

But I learned early that men leave.

So I leave first.

No relationships. No hope. No staying long enough to get hurt. Those were the rules that kept my heart safe… until Luke came home to Hawthorne Hills.

Now he’s back with that easy smile, a new house that feels dangerously close to forever, and a way of seeing straight through every wall I’ve built.

One weekend at the lake house puts us in the same bed—too close, too familiar—and suddenly the line between friendship and something more disappears.

Luke says I’m safe with him.
That he’s not going anywhere.

But love has always been the one thing capable of breaking me.

And if I fall for him now… there’s no walking away.

Between the Chords is the second standalone in the Reckless Saints series featuring a rock star who never stopped loving the girl who ran from him, a heroine terrified to risk her heart, slow-burn friends-to-lovers tension, one bed at the lake house, and all the it’s always been you angst you crave.

Spotlight: Playing the Player by Heather Young-Nichols

Series: Rules of the Game #5
Genres: Contemporary Sports Romance
Tropes:Brother's best friend/secon chances
Release Date: April 24, 2024
 
There's only one rule when it comes to dating: avoid baseball players at all costs.

Growing up with four older brothers in the pros, I've seen firsthand how baseball players act off the field, and after a disastrous experience confessing my feelings to one at seventeen, I vowed to never make that mistake again. But now, my brother's best friend—the very one I confessed my feelings for years ago—is determined to change my mind and tear down my defenses.

Jenner was there when I had my accident and probably saved my life. But he's also the one who made me run away in the first place. His rejection still stings, even though it shouldn't. And now, I'm caught between desperate attraction and fierce suspicion I can't ignore.

Just as I start to believe him, our fragile bond is tested by old insecurities and the challenges of dating your brother's best friend. With expectations I'm not ready to handle, I've spent years shielding my heart from players like him—and I'm not sure I'm ready to give that up.

Can Jenner help me rewrite our story or will my fears make what we both want impossible?

Playing the Player is the last book in the Rules of the Game series and can be read as a standalone featuring a no nonsense heroine and a hot baseball player hell bent on breaking down her walls.

Spotlight: Wanting the Player by Heather Young-Nichols

Genres: Contemporary Sports Romance

Tropes: Sworn Off Relationships/Afraid to Commit

Release Date: March 25, 2024

Vowing to never sleep with a baseball player might’ve been a curse upon myself.

Given that I suck at relationships, I’m perfectly happy to never be in one again. Men can’t be trusted. Or maybe it’s my heart that can’t be trusted. I don’t know. Either way, especially after the epic fail of a hook up last year with a baseball player that won’t leave me alone, baseball players are no longer an option.

Then Urban Briggs tells me, a stranger, that he’s going to make sure his teammate leaves me alone. Great. I could use the help. Except that player doesn’t leave me alone, and Urban ends up volunteering at the summer camp I’m working at. Of course, he does. His family’s charity runs the camp. Now, I can’t avoid him, and he’s too hard to ignore.

At first, Urban is fine with our arrangement. After all, he’s leaving as soon as the season ends if he has his way. He doesn’t want to leave behind any attachments, either. Sounds perfect, right? Wrong. Can I risk my heart one last time, or am I going to let the best thing in my life walk away?

Wanting the Player is book two in the Rules of the Game series and features a broody baseball player and a woman who isn’t supposed to fall in love who happens to work at his family’s summer camp, where he’s volunteering a little of his time, a standoffish heroine, lots of steam, and it wasn’t supposed to be you vibes.
