Game Play\u00a0by \u00a0Lynda Aicher<\/a><\/strong>
\nRelease Date:\u00a0February 16
\nPrice: $4.99<\/strong><\/p>\n

One night, one time, nothing more. <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s all it was supposed to be. They’d agreed their first night together would be their only night together\u2014and Minnesota Glaciers defenseman Dylan Rylie was fine with that. Giant hickeys and claw marks on his ass had never been his style, even if the very memory of Samantha Yates’s merciless sexual energy gets him hard within seconds. He needs to focus on getting a better contract, not mind-blowing orgasms.<\/span><\/p>\n

One night, one time, nothing more.<\/i> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh off representing the US at the Games and with nowhere else to play, Samantha gave in to one night of frantic passion with the Glaciers’ brawny hotshot. She couldn’t get hurt\u2014not if she controlled the outcome. And she planned to leave Minnesota soon, anyway. She didn’t expect to be recruited to coach Dylan after they’d gotten down and dirty.<\/span><\/p>\n

When brutal on-ice workouts lead to kinky locker room sessions and “one night” falls by the wayside, Samantha insists on keeping things casual, despite Dylan’s quiet hope for more. But when Dylan goes down\u2014hard\u2014and his career is in jeopardy, Samantha is the first one by his side. What will it take to keep her there after he’s healed?<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first book in the Power Play<\/span><\/em> series.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now, back home in Aidan Falls for the summer, all I want to do is keep my head down until next semester starts\u2014a hard prospect when my ex, his ex, and the whole damn town can\u2019t seem to let go of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not even mentioning Micah Wyatt, the ludicrously hot new guy who seems to know all about my past, and he isn\u2019t shy about wanting to trap me in a bet he’s made to get the town pariah\u2014aka me\u2014under the sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know Micah is bad news, but that doesn\u2019t make him any easier to resist. After all, I\u2019ve had a taste of bad before, and I\u2019m not sure I want to go back to being the good girl\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Vivacious and successful, Ava Meyers is living her dream life, except for one thing: Ever since childhood, she\u2019s been in love with her best friend . . . and she\u2019s never admitted it. Back then, Sam Farrow was a damaged young man with a tough past. Now he\u2019s supremely confident, super-sexy, and totally untouchable\u2014until the night when Sam pretends to be Ava\u2019s boyfriend to save her from some unwanted attention. In a moment of weakness, Ava finds out that a decades-long friendship is no match for blistering sexual chemistry.<\/span><\/p>\n

After years of denying his own feelings, Sam finds that one amazing night with Ava isn\u2019t enough to chase away all the pent-up fantasies. So he proposes they spend a few weeks driving each other wild, exhausting their every desire, and then return to their perfect platonic relationship like nothing ever happened. But Sam\u2019s plan has one fatal flaw: the part where they give each other up. Because the more they let go of their inhibitions, the more they\u2019re tempted to never go back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portland Storm, Book 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicklas Ericsson is an addict. He\u2019s also a star goaltender with the NHL\u2019s Portland Storm, or he was until his addiction changed everything. Now he\u2019s throwing himself into doing all the necessary things to pave his path to a comeback, both in his personal life and on the ice. Nicky\u2019s run out of options, and now his sister and her children are in Portland. They need help he has no clue how to provide, though, and figuring it out might derail all the progress he\u2019s made. <\/span><\/p>\n

For a few years now, Jessica Lynch has been running the Portland office for the Light the Lamp Foundation. Between her work and several people from her past, she knows more than she\u2019d like about addicts. One lesson she\u2019s learned is that even when addicts try to turn their lives around, more often than not, they fail. That\u2019s why she takes a hands off approach, keeping her heart well away from the addicts she works with, like Nicky Ericsson. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nicky\u2019s recovery efforts put him directly in Jessica\u2019s path, and she can\u2019t ignore his very real need for help. Where Nicky is concerned, she can\u2019t separate her emotions. His niece and nephews further complicate her efforts to guard her heart. The attraction between Nicky and Jessica is instant and mutual, but she\u2019s misplaced her trust too many times before. Can he prove that he won’t fall back into old habits in time to complete the perfect comeback? <\/span><\/p>\n

Bound to the Bachelor\u00a0by \u00a0Sarah Mayberry<\/a><\/strong>
\nRelease Date:\u00a0February\u00a020
\nPrice: $2.99<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your date with Marietta local Beau Bennett includes a day on the slopes at Big Sky Resort, complete with a sumptuous meal in the Resort\u2019s fanciest fine dining restaurant and door-to-door transport. Dig deep to secure the attentions of one of Montana\u2019s most eligible – and elusive – bachelors. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Lily Taylor knows Beau Bennett dislikes her, but that won\u2019t stop her from asking him to volunteer for the Bachelor Auction she\u2019s organized to help her friend Molly provide for her tragically injured son, Josh. If Beau\u2019s gorgeous face, piercing blue eyes and chiseled body inspires the women of Marietta to dig into their pockets for a good cause, then Lily will do whatever it takes to secure his participation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Beau Bennett isn\u2019t sure how he wound up on the auction block being eyed up by hundreds of eager women, but he knows who to blame for it – Lily Taylor, the sexy, distracting, off-limits best friend of his kid sister. As far as he\u2019s concerned, the sooner this nightmare is over, the better. <\/span><\/p>\n

The last thing either of them expects is for Lily to wind up bidding on – and winning – Beau, or that their date will lead to Beau stepping in to save Lily when her past comes back to haunt her. As Beau does his best to keep Lily safe, they discover that maybe they don\u2019t dislike each other quite as much as they thought. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, maybe it\u2019s just the opposite\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
