True love is worth fighting for…

Single mother Rachel has enough on her plate with two rambunctious twin boys to raise. Still mourning her husband, she isn’t looking for romance—until Chance, a strikingly handsome ex-FBI agent shows up at her door.

While it’s clear Rachel knows nothing about his case involving a kidnapped baby, it’s also obvious she’s in over her head with her own little ones. Chance steps in to help, and suddenly all the chaos of her life seem to disappear. Chance is caring, and hot, and he has a calming way about him that soothes her soul—and fires up her desire. But love? She’s not sure she’s ready for that…

No two ways about it… Chance is enthralled by Rachel. She’s everything he’s ever wanted in a woman. Smart, strong, and beautiful—more than enough to get him imagining what it would be like to be in her life permanently. Unfortunately, Rachel doesn’t seem nearly as interested in him as he is in her.

When he was an FBI agent, Chance always got the results he wanted. But now that he has found the perfect woman, can he convince her that he is what she wants?

Danger and romance make for an unforgettable meet cute…

Former Navy SEAL Seth Jacobsen has been hired to find the kidnapped infant of billionaire Trent Caldwell. Tracking down the baby is easy.

As far as she’s concerned, men like Seth are one thing… Trouble. And despite their growing attraction, she isn’t about to give her virginity away to just anyone—even if he is tall, muscular, and unbearably handsome.

When they’re forced to work together to return the kidnapped infant, Chelsea realizes there’s more to this gruff alpha male than meets the eye. Could he be the man she’s been waiting for?

CEO’s Pregnant Lover by Leslie North

Posted April 20, 2023 by Marsha in ARC, Booksprout, Contemporary Romance, Previously Published, Romantic Suspense, Series, Sexual Content / 0 Comments

Never mix business with pleasure…

Klutzy, adorable Brianna Daughtry is nothing like the women Trent Caldwell is usually attracted to. The handsome, cold-hearted billionaire goes for bimbos and eye candy who look good on his arm, women who won’t make a fuss when things end. But Brianna, his new temporary assistant, is nothing like that at all…

She’s the sort of woman who can make a man’s heart beat faster. And make him wish he were a different man…a better man. The type of woman Trent usually avoids at all costs. Except, he can’t. And even if he could, his heart doesn’t want to…

Brianna can’t believe someone like Trent could be remotely attracted to her. But she can’t deny that his smoldering looks, his lingering touches, and his intoxicating kisses tell her otherwise. Yes, he’s maddeningly overbearing and arrogant. But somehow, the alpha businessman has a sweet side as well.

Even with Trent’s old nemesis casting a shadow over their happiness, it seems her dreams of forever may come true. Until a devastating turn of events threatens to tear everything they’ve built apart…

Mr. Grump by Leslie North

Posted February 9, 2023 by Marsha in 2023 New Release Challenge, ARC, Booksprout, Contemporary Romance, Series, Sexual Content / 0 Comments

I have a confession.  I hate bachelorette parties.  A night of dick straws, awkward dancing, and being told “it’ll be you soon, Kaitlyn!”  Especially when it’s at a super swanky Miami club—exactly where I don’t belong.  Couldn’t get any worse, right?

Enter Mr. Tall, Dark, and I-didn’t-know-they-made-people-this-gorgeous.  Grump supreme. His scowl has a scowl.  Especially after I knock a drink onto a VIP and myself.  He must be the manager of the club because he has keys to the penthouse above it.  A penthouse he offers to let me change clothes in.  A penthouse we screw all over.  Then, he gets a call and kicks me out. Jerk.  Told you it got worse.

Ready for worse?  The first day at my new job as a nanny and Mr. Scowl is my boss.  James Morris.  Billionaire club owner, deal maker, and first-grade bosshole—if the tabloids are to be believed.  Also a single dad to an adorable daughter who needs my help.

But there’s no way I can take this job—every time I look at him, I’m back in that penthouse.  And from the way he smiles when he looks at me, he’s thinking the same.  Then he tells me why this has to work. Why he needs me. Why I can’t say no.

New confession?  I hate my boss.
