At the end of the tour, Maxwell Matthiews stays behind to nurse his sprained ankle while his bandmates fly to the Caribbean for the holidays. To make matters worse, his flight is cancelled due to a blizzard. Stranded, he yearns for a warm and homey place to recuperate. When a sexy waitress offers him a place to stay, he eagerly accepts. Until he learns the house's owner has mistaken him for the prospective husband of her granddaughter. Instead of revealing the truth, Max plays along. But his well-intended plan falls apart when love gets in the way. And submitting has never been so tempting.... Thea Blake has a soft spot for stray dogs and cats. Now her collection has expanded to include a crabby and forlorn musician who's stuck in her city of Boston. As a heartthrob, he's down to earth and charming. But, his friendliness and need for a helpful friend wins her over. Her grandma will love him. What an ideal way to solve her problem. All she wants this holiday season is for her grandmother to be happy. It seems like an ideal arrangement -- until she falls in love.

Boy meets girl, girl falls in love, blah-blah-blah. Let me be clear with you from the beginning. This is not that kind of story. My name is Cait, and I live in the great city of New York. Okay, so maybe I've only lived here for a week and a half, sue me, but what else am I supposed to say? This strange and beautiful metropolis is my new home, or the closest thing I've probably ever had to a home, and I intend to make the most of my time here. I'm 20 years old, an ex-sophomore in college, and I'm really good at math. Obviously, I've never filled out any kind of bio before. This is my story. It's the kind of story where reality bites, love isn't always what it seems, and maybe - just maybe - everything won't suck in the end. #43 in General Fiction - 12/02/2016 #44 in Teen Fiction - 6/11/2017 _____ © Jandra Sutton. 2016.

Iꜰ Aᴄᴇ Rᴇɴsʜᴀᴡ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴀ ᴘʟᴀʏɪɴɢ ᴄᴀʀᴅ, ʜᴇ'ᴅ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇ Kɪɴɢ ᴏꜰ Hᴇᴀʀᴛs... || Writer of the Year Award -- Second Place Winner || Ace Renshaw is a teenage gambler. After his sister left for college and his father turned to alcohol, he was left with nothing but bitter jealousy. His motto? "Love does nothing but destroy." He's turned from romance, and instead, lives off the rush he gets from doing things he shouldn't be doing. Every month, Ace meets up with a group of friends to make a bet. They'll dare him to do something illegal, something dangerous, something they're convinced he cannot do. Then they sit back and watch as Ace proves them wrong. One bleak February afternoon, Ace is presented with his hardest challenge yet. Never has he tinkered with emotions before -- it was always breaking and entering, or vandalism, or stealing. But this time? This time, Ace has one month to get a girl who firmly believes in rules to fall in love. With him. The plan was to seduce her, to lure her in with false flattery and artificial emotions... and then, he'd break her heart. Bonus points if she cried. And yet, as new friendships are forged, secrets are exposed, and previously unknown emotion starts to blossom, Ace starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, falling in love wouldn't be that disastrous after all. ---------------------- AMAZING cover design by @atroXity !

She wakes up in another universe, meets mysterious creatures and goes on adventures, raises an undead army and keeps complaining about how cliched everything is, while threatening to destroy the world for a cup of coffee... Wait. Something is not right here. Follow Christabel's quest to survive a world so cliched it hurts her brain, understand why everybody is mistaking her for a super-powerful necromancer (okay, there were the skeleton dwarves, but that was an accident, she swears), and find a cup of coffee. Also, a way home would be nice... but mostly coffee. Constructive criticism is very welcome ^_^

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez
