𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐3 My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me. Except for Lyla James Marichal. She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her. When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side. And then, without warning, she left me. Vanished. It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation. Three years ago, she ruined my life. Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSuGn3rJxK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can't believe Rogue is less than a week away! If you've read Misfit, then you've already been inside the head of five characters, but Rogue introduces the point of view of Casey - and I think you guys are going to love her story. The great thing about the Prep series is it can be read in order for the ongoing backstory, or in any order for each specific couple's stories (Misfit was Sloane & RJ, Rogue is Casey & Fenn). No matter how you choose to read, you'll learn pretty quickly that nothing is quite as it seems at Sandover Prep... 😉 Available at: Kindle | Apple | Nook | Kobo | Google | Audio https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSj8P4rqBW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

👀 Check out this new cover from Samantha Young 👀 THE LOVE PLOT  Publisher: Berkley Romance  Release Date: Aug 29th Universal Link: books2read.com/theloveplot Tropes: ☑ FAKE DATING ☑ GRUMPY VS SUNSHINE ☑ OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE TRACK ☑ NO STRINGS ATTACHED Blurb: There's a magnetic attraction when a happy-go-lucky gig worker agrees to a fake relationship with a rich, uptight New Yorker in this steamy romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young. Star Shine Meadows is all about freedom, thanks to the hippie parents who raised her. Juggling her jobs as a professional costume character actor and a line sitter, she believes in no expectations, no stressful ambitions, and no-strings-attached relationships. So when she meets a birthday girl's grumpy uncle while working a princess party, she can't help but needle him. She'll never see him again, and honestly, he's pretty hot. Rafe Whitman may be a veterinarian with a great bedside manner, but that doesn't mean his patience extends to anyone with opposable thumbs. His family will not stop nagging him about finding "the one," so when he runs into obnoxiously cheery Star again, he makes her an offer: He'll pay her more than she would make doing her odd jobs if she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at family gatherings. She can stop sitting in line waiting for someone else's new phone, and he'll get his family off his back. When the tension between them heats to a breaking point, Star's desire for "no strings" is tested against Rafe's staunch stability. They say opposites attract, after all.... The UK & Commonwealth edition will be available for preorder soon! https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSju1qrn8P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Holt Sebastian is royalty in our world. As CEO of the Sebastian News Corp, he’s the man with all the power. The man who decides if I’ll always just be a local television anchor or if I’ll be the rising star of my own show. I make it my mission to be noticed. Make him see my potential. But soon, it's clear he's the one in charge. His possessiveness is brutal. His eyes own everything they touch. I feel his gaze on me when he's in the room. The heat of them as they rake down my body, taking me in, marking me as his. He doesn’t just want me on the screen—he wants me in his bed. And Holt Sebastian gets what he wants. No one will stop him, no one will get in his way. No one can protect me from his desire. Not even the man who promised nothing would come between us and his ambition—my husband.
