Flirting with Forever  by Kaye Kennedy

Fall in love alongside Detective Hunter Albanese and Lauren Powers in this debut of a new series following members of the Special Investigations Task Force in New York City as they fight crime and fall in love.


You'll recognize Lauren as Zoe's sister in Burning for Her, and Hunter plays a role in Burning for Love and Burning for Trouble. While this novel can certainly be read as a standalone, you'll get the most out of it having read the preceding series, Burning for the Bravest, which features NYC firefighters who love hard and make love harder.


His undercover assignment wasn’t supposed to involve a fake girlfriend. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to fall for her. But it did. And he did. Now, he’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it costs him everything.

When I’d caught the garter at a friend’s wedding, I hadn’t anticipated having sparks with the woman who’d caught the bouquet because that was a bad cliché, right? Things in Lauren’s life were...complicated. As for me, being a detective on the NYPD’s Special Investigations Task Force made having a relationship nearly impossible, so I’d decided we were better off as friends.

Fast forward a year...Lauren stumbled into my undercover investigation of the Vosstaniye Bratva so, in an effort to keep my cover from being blown, I blurted out that she was my girlfriend.

Huge.

Epic.

Mistake.

Now, she’s been sucked into my investigation and I’ve fallen for her. Complicated or not, I have to convince Lauren that our fake relationship is anything but because we just might have a forever kind of love. But first, I have to keep her safe from the Russian mafia. No big deal, right? 

Wish me luck.


Fall in love alongside Detective Hunter Albanese and Lauren Powers in this debut of a new series following members of the Special Investigations Task Force in New York City as they fight crime and fall in love.


Will Mack and Tori risk losing their careers for a shot at love? Or will they figure out a way to have their cake and eat it too?

Justice for Mickie  by Susan Stoker

For Cruz Livingston, becoming an FBI agent is a lifelong dream, guarding the streets of San Antonio, a calling. His latest assignment—infiltrating the Red Brothers Motorcycle Club—will help stem the flow of illegal drugs brought into the city by the violent gang. He expects the job to be dangerous. He doesn’t expect to meet the woman of his dreams while undercover.


Mickie Kaiser is refreshingly sweet, but her sister is intimately involved with the RBMC’s president. Cruz can’t afford to come clean about his double life without putting his operation in danger, but as violence creeps ever closer to Mickie, his priority becomes crystal clear. Cruz will do anything to keep Mickie alive…even if it means losing her love.


* Justice for Mickie is the 2nd book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.


** This story features some very bad men, doing very bad things. The Red Brothers MC is up to its eyeballs in criminal and nefarious activities, including drugs, violence, and sexual abuse. The Brothers definitely don’t know how to treat their women…but our alpha FBI hero does. And he’s determined to protect his woman from the MC. At any cost.

Chief by Kris Michaels

Cloaked in the identity of David Xavier, a billionaire player in multiple world theaters, Mike White Cloud worked to enter the Russian Mafia’s lair, by stalking a shadowy creature named "The Concierge." The Russian woman brokered young innocents into slavery and Mike meant to destroy her and the organization she worked for. He should have despised her for the atrocious crimes she facilitated, but too often love and hate are the flip sides of the same coin, and what Mike felt for Taty was not hate. It didn't matter. He'd destroy the Bratva and all its associates—even if it meant part of his soul sat in prison for the rest of her life.


Driven by heartbreak, Tatyana Petrov joined the elite British M16 unit, and for eight years, wormed her way into the trust of the Bratva as she strove to identify the human filth selling those innocents to billionaires like David Xavier. She'd found it easy to loathe the wealthy men who bought her "toys"—until David. For reasons that she wouldn't acknowledge, she wanted to protect this one man from the retribution rapidly approaching.


Neither knew the other's true mission but even as mortal adversaries, they'd each given the other a part of their soul and now only devastation and sorrow waited.

Behind the Veil by Kathryn Nolan

Just because the marriage is fake doesn't mean the attraction is...


Delilah Barrett is a head-turning beauty on a quest for justice. She's made a career of recovering stolen rare books with her private detective firm. She's level-headed, smart, cool under pressure... and entirely unprepared for her new assignment.


When a centuries-old book worth an astronomical fortune disappears from Philadelphia's Franklin Museum, Delilah is paired up with Henry Finch, a brilliant rare book librarian and celebrated academic.


Their orders: Go undercover as a married couple and recover the book by whatever means necessary.


Henry can speak four languages and wear a suit like he was born in Armani. But he's never squared off against criminals. Never operated in this underground society of glamour and greed. And he's certainly never pretended to be married to a woman who both dazzles and distrusts him.


Delilah's keen instincts are her greatest gift, but her growing attraction to the sexy librarian is messing with her head. Every feigned caress, every for-the-audience kiss only heightens the seduction, building a fire that refuses to extinguish. As the danger intensifies, so does the temptation to let their fake desire become real. With a priceless artifact at stake, can this undercover couple learn to trust each other...before it's too late?


Author's Note: If fake marriage, closet sex, secret passages, guns and garter belts, high-society galas, mysterious code words, and danger pushes your pleasure buttons Behind the Veil is for you!

I went up to New York and Connecticut for a writing retreat and to visit family. While there, I finalized Flirting with Fame . My rescue mutt, Zeus, road tripped it with me and he got to see snow for the first time. He was super apprehensive at first, but then he got the zoomies in full force. One of the highlights was getting to spend time with my best friend, who I hadn't seen in far too long.

When I first started writing romance, I was intimidated by the idea of penning steamy sex scenes. I *almost* decided to be a fade-to-black author 😲 but I knew that the stories I wanted to write needed sex. Despite being terrified by the idea, I put my fingers to the keyboard and pushed myself to get the words out. Best. Decision. Ever. Here's why: I was raised in a conservative family. The only "sex talk" I got from my mother happened when I started dating my first boyfriend. All she said was, "Don't kiss him with your mouth open." Yeah...it was too late for that because he'd already kissed me. And my mouth was open. And I hadn't been struck down on the spot because of it... So, how did that translate as I got older? I was ashamed of my sexual side. That isn't to say that I wasn't sexually active, but I never talked about it with anyone. Sometimes, that even included my partner; I wouldn't communicate what I liked/disliked/wanted to try/etc... Not exactly healthy. I'd been labeled as a "little bit of a prude" by more than one person, which I knew was not who I authentically was (I am a Scorpio after all 😉), but the shame had kept me from arguing.
