Hattie Morris just wanted to be loved. Maybe that sounded overdramatic. She grew up in a blended family with four older half-brothers who loved her. Her dad never let a day go by without letting her know she was his pride and joy and her step-mom never treated her as anything other than her own daughter. One by one, she saw her brothers fall in love and start their families, leaving Hattie to wonder if it would ever be her turn. Her life is complicated even more by a ghost from the past that has the power to bring her down completely. Hattie is finally getting her chance at love, but the whirlwind of family drama might be too much for their relationship to handle.

Zoey Lesnar found her passion in writing at a young age as a way to escape the strict household that she grew up in. She knew at a young age that her religious family was never going to be accepting of her true self, but when she finally took the plunge to come out to them, she didn't expect the immediate cold shoulder. Navigating her adult life without her family was difficult, but she ended up finding solace in a new relationship and the supportive family that came with it. Hattie makes Zoey feel like she can conquer the world and that feeling is exactly what they'll need to have faith in.All Rights Reserved

Hard Brake (Wilkins Brothers Book 2) by JSmith_Writes

Griffin "Gruff" Wilkins was a man of few words, a trait he learned at a young age. He was the oldest in his family and learned real quick that if he opened his mouth, it was often shut with a fist or a belt. Therefore, he became a quiet protector rather than the loud-mouth like some of his brothers. After a failed marriage, he decided to focus just on his shop and himself, even if that meant still dipping into his ex-wife from time to time when he needed to get his rocks off. He wasn't looking for anything else until he found himself face to face with a woman who needed his help, the silent protector was back in full force. The only problem was that this woman came with enough baggage to open an airport, including two children, one of whom reminded him a lot of his younger self. Camila Perez thought that she had found her chance at the high life when she met a man at sixteen who swore he'd take care of her. For many years, her life was almost magical, but when the charm wore off, she was left dealing with the devil himself. She dealt with the abuse of her husband for years, but once he began to take his anger out on her two children, she knew it was time to go. A flat tire and a friendly face would bring her into the home of a man who she should have been fearful of. His icy blue eyes were exactly the opposite of the black ones she had come to fear. Camila never thought she could feel safe and secure again, but Gruff Wilkins is about to show her what a real man could give her.

The Wrong Brother by JSmith_Writes

Eighteen-year-old Iris Howell thought she was living her best life until those two pink lines showed up on the pregnancy test. In a flash, all her future dreams went up in smoke. Ten years later, she's now a single mom to a rambunctious little girl who has become her world. It wasn't easy having to grow up so quickly without the support of her high school sweetheart, but she's doing her best. Dating was the furthest thing on her mind, but her best friend still insisted she sign up for a dating app to see if Mr. Right Now was out there somewhere. Little did she know, one of her first matches would be Monty King, her high school boyfriend's older brother. She can't deny her attraction to him or how he makes her feel, but she knows this is a mess just waiting to happen. Montgomery King may have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but that wasn't the life he wanted to live. He never fit in with the lifestyle his upper-class parents tried to force him into and he never got along with his lazy brother who was more than happy to lazily mooch off the family dollar. He took the first chance he could to join the military and do something better with his life. His years in the military are well done and he's still avoided his family and their money-hungry ways until his company relocates to his hometown. The only good part about the move is reconnecting with Iris Howell, even if she is his brother's ex-girlfriend. Iris isn't looking for a relationship and certainly isn't trying to find herself tied down with another King brother and she has good reason not to. However, Monty is making it his new mission to show her that she was with the wrong brother before.
