GIVEAWAY ENDED

The witty banter, the push and pull, the shouting at the page for the characters to get over themselves already...all things we love about enemies-to-lovers romances!

These five romance reads deliver on the love/hate, and you can win all five!

To celebrate the release of my new book, Burning for Fate, on November 11th, I am giving away 5 e-books by some of my favorite authors all with the enemies-to-lovers trope. One winner will receive LJ Shen's The Hunter, Kristy Marie's Subscriber Wars, Kathryn Nolan's Under the Rose, Teagan Hunter's Loathe Thy Neighbor, and my new release, Burning for Fate.


*Burning for Fate is the fourth book in my Burning for the Bravest Series, which features New York City firefighters who love hard and make love harder.

Burning for Fate  by  Kaye Kennedy

If you like alpha males with soft centers who love hard and make love harder, then the Burning for the Bravest Series is for you! Follow 8 firemen in New York City, as they risk their lives and their hearts, in the name of love. This series is meant to be read in order, so make sure you start with Burning for More, which is FREE on Kindle Unlimited or get it on Amazon for only 99¢.


Burning for Fate - Book 3 in the Burning for the Bravest Series


When fate forces these enemies to collide, what could possibly go wrong?


Jace

After having been burned by a woman in his past, fireman Jace Palmer avoided heartbreak at all costs and played the field as though it was his profession. One night, he accidentally called a hookup by the wrong name in the middle of...hooking up. He didn’t have the space in his life for that kind of drama, so he decided to move on, even though he’d actually liked her.


When he shows up for his best friend, Dylan Hogan’s wedding weekend a few months later, he discovers that life was delivering him a cruel twist of fate.


Britt

As a sex and dating writer for Contemporary Magazine, Britt has seen and heard it all. Her past had her convinced that true love was a Hollywood construct, so she kept her relationships casual, but she still had standards.


When she arrives at her best friend's wedding rehearsal and finds out that she’s walking down the aisle with a former hookup gone bad, she is less than thrilled. In an attempt to hold onto her dignity, Britt invites her celebrity crush, who she’d interviewed for the magazine earlier that day, to be her date—a move that only adds fuel to the fire.


While she’s worried about surviving a weekend with her enemy, fate has other plans. Plans that involve a happily ever after with the one person she’s determined to hate.

The Hunter by LJ Shen

From USA Today Bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a fun, steamy standalone about a notorious playboy and the nerdy girl who brings him to his knees.


Boston's debauched elite is going up in flames, and it's the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire.


Hunter 

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened.


Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.


Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…


Sailor

I didn’t want this gig, okay? But the deal was too sweet to walk away from. I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny. Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?


It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors. No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.


Even at the cost of losing everything I have.

Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

Subscriber Wars by Kristy Marie

Subscriber Wars is a standalone romantic comedy about two internet rivals with a meet-prank and the worst habit of turning fake kisses into real ones. 


In my defense, he was wet—and shirtless—and had this really cute birthmark that looked like someone had kissed his ridiculously-defined hip bone. I got sidetracked, okay? It was an accident. Especially when I kissed him so hard my wig shifted sideways, and he realized I was someone else—someone like his enemy. 


Awkward, right? 


So imagine my surprise when Sebastian shows up at my door months later with clenched fists, demanding I pretend to be his girlfriend so he can win a million dollars. He’s delicious and all, but I trust him about as much as I trust that super-hot dimple he flashes around campus.  But then he goes and says the magic words: we’ll split the money fifty-fifty.


So here I am nestled in Sebastian’s arms while two million viewers watch as he leans in, his heart racing under my palm and whispers, “This changes nothing. We’re still at war.”

Under the Rose by Kathryn Nolan

This romantic suspense is Book 2 in the Codex Series from author Kathryn Nolan. 


She’s about to go undercover with her arch-nemesis…


From the outside, the gorgeous Freya Evandale seems like a quirky bookworm with a taco addiction. Most people would never guess she’s a proud drop-out of the FBI’s training academy and a highly-skilled computer nerd. These days, she’s happy as a private detective at Codex, specializing in stolen rare books.


That is until an old nemesis with an arrogant smirk and superhero shoulders ends up in her office.


Special Agent Sam Byrne is a tightly-wound workaholic with a secret…or ten. When a betrayal leaves him questioning his career with the Bureau, consulting for Codex seems like the perfect place to hide. But he certainly never expected to see Freya again. At the academy, their rivalry was legendary. And their sparring sessions resembled an actual battle, or worse… foreplay.


Now these enemies are forced to play nice as they go undercover to infiltrate a secret society. It’s a dangerous world of power, wealth, and shifting alliances. The higher the stakes, the harder it is to resist the true reason behind their rivalry. But surrendering to years of pent-up lust is a direct threat to their mission…and their safety.

Loathe Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunter

This new release from Teagan Hunter kicks off the Roommate Romps Series.


Don’t fall for your enemy…especially when he’s your new roommate.


Dean Evans is the worst.

Not only does the devil in disguise steal my pie on a regular basis, he also lives in the apartment right. Next. Door. I see him all the time. At the mailboxes. In the elevator. Every single morning. It’s exhausting because he’s exhausting.


Now, after setting his apartment on fire, he’s my roommate…and he’s the worst at that too.


I don’t know what possessed me to let him stay with me. Pity, perhaps? I do know that I won’t be falling for his charm. Or that panty-dropping smirk.

His quick wit. That body he works so hard for.


Nope. Not falling for any of it…least of all him.


There might be a fine line between love and hate, but I know exactly where I stand.

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.
