Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem.

The man she has no choice but to share the prize with.

Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten.

It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . .

Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences?

I guess we're about to find out . . .

Chained To Me: A Billionaire Enemies To Lovers Romance by BlairPresleyRomance

I'm not ready for what I see when I walk in on my girlfriend of three years, Sienna Rowe, having sex with my best friend, Will Aderly. It shatters me. It causes my entire world to fall apart. So, I do the one thing I can think of. I escape to Amethyst, the strip club where I know I can disappear in pussy and forget my troubles. But when I wake up to images of me surrounded by strippers, Cristal, Chardonnay, and Lexus, it's not a good look. So my publicist calls in the crisis manager, Everly Hunter. I'm not expecting her to be so fucking stunning. With her long brunette hair and emerald eyes, it's like she sees through me, to the true me. I can't have it. So, I push her away. I use everything I have to make her feel bad about herself. But when she leaves me to clean up my mess, I realize what I've done, the mistake I've made. I need Everly in more ways than one. -Aston -- Who does he think he is? He's a pompous, arrogant asshole with no regard for anyone else. I only took this job to help my sister, who's in rehab. Otherwise, I wouldn't put up with Aston Thomas, the world's most pretentious man. But I need this job so I agree to help him clean up his mess. His photo is splashed everywhere, fucking strippers. It's not a good look. But I can fix this. I know I can. I pride myself on my work. But I must draw a line in the sand when Aston pushes me away, doing his best to undercut everything I've worked for. Despite his pure blue eyes, sculpted muscles, and those sexy tattoos, I know that I won't take abuse from him anymore. So I go home, back to Seattle. Never mind that he's on my mind in a big way. I need to forget about him, forget that he ever existed. -Everly (#1 in Billionaire) (#1 in EroticRomance) (#1 in Sexy) (#2 in Craving) (#2 in Steamy) (#2 in Soulmate) Content/trigger warning: This story features mature, sexual content and violence. © All Rights Reserved

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does. So when her boyfriend Declan decides to turn their temporary break into a permanent break-up, she starts to seriously doubt her girlfriend skills. Her new flatmate Ric tells Abby she's not the problem, but how can she believe *him* when he's one of the most annoying guys she's ever encountered? However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️

Sprint by H__Blanca

Book #4 in the Medley Series ARCHER SALISBURY: We're in the last sprint before the Olympics, and my spot on the Medley team is hanging by a thread. I don't have time for distractions... or competition. But I get both in the form of an aggravating new roommate and annoyingly talented teammate: Leroy James. With my parents breathing down my neck and my team taking a liking to Leroy, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. And to top it all off, Leroy is devastatingly handsome and completely unavailable-keeping my eyes to myself has never been more crucial. Or impossible. He's the rival I never wanted and the person I crave more each day but can never have. This year is going to be hell. LEROY JAMES: Changing city, college, and team a year before the Olympics is less than ideal. Also not ideal? Sharing a dorm with a deviously attractive swimmer with a mean streak. Archer Salisbury hates me on sight. He's rich, ruthless in the pool, and has a girlfriend for every day of the week. Between caring for my father and trying to swim myself into a spot on Team USA before it's too late, I don't have time for this new rivalry, but winding him up is too easy and too much fun. Archer is intent on making my life more miserable than it already is, and yet I can't help craving a taste. He's the forbidden fruit; I only want to corrupt him. I'll be going straight to hell.

The Reluctant Roadtripper (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79

I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Cleo..." Seth whispers, our breaths mingling as his thumb slowly traces my lips, maintaining eye contact. I watch him swallow, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. His eyes dare me, and the pulse in my pants surges. Suddenly, our lips crash together, devouring me as if he couldn't survive without the taste of my breath. He pulls away with a groan, as if it pains him, raising his hands in defense. "I will stop," he says, more to convince himself than to tell me. I step closer, running my fingers through his hair. "Don't stop," I beg, my voice needy. His brows raise. "I will stop." I inhale, this time my voice even needier. "Don't stop." And then he kisses me again, more passionately than before, as if he's finally ready to give in-one hand gripping my throat and the other possessively at my waist. ~ Cleo Sterling, the rebellious daughter of the mayor, has never followed the rules. With a party-girl reputation and a life lived on her terms,her carefree world is shattered when a tragic event forces her father to hire Seth Castillo a stoic ex- special forces military officer with a dark past.
