At Any Price (Gaming The System Book 1) (affiliate link)
I had the craziest idea when I decided to auction my virginity online. I have reasons for it. Good reasons. My mom’s hospital bills, for one. My medical school tuition, for another. By day, I’m a student and popular gaming blogger, but my dream is to become a doctor. This auction could free me from a crushing pile of debt and give me the cash I need to make my dreams a reality.
And honestly, I’m also looking forward to cashing in that troublesome V-card. Win, win.
My rules are set in stone: One night, then no further contact with the auction winner.
Enter Adam Drake, the brilliant gaming company CEO and multimillionaire. He won my auction. He’s young, driven, and so damn sexy. It’s frightening how attracted I am – though I’d never admit it. And it’s clear I’ll need to protect my heart.
Between Commitment and Betrayal (affiliate link)
My father’s business partner will do anything for the empire they built together…Even marry me.
Declan Hardy, All-American heartthrob and retired NFL billionaire, is my complete opposite.
He’s commanding where I’m cooperative.
Spontaneous while I am deliberate.
Loud when I stay quiet.
The only thing we have in common is that both our names are on my father’s will.
He’ll inherit the fitness and hospitality empire and I’ll keep the one thing I hold dear.
As long as I marry him—with conditions.
Post-Human Omnibus (affiliate link)
We’re living in a time where technology is changing the world at an ever faster pace.
New technologies like artificial intelligence and gene editing are going to change everything, but we don’t know what. What will happen when humans can live forever? Or die with just a few keystrokes? How will our governments react as they lose control of their citizens’ data? And how do you feel about uploading your mind into a computer so that you may live on after death?
The Post-Human Omnibus is the perfect book for these times. It’s an epic series of stories that explore all sides of humanity’s future through science fiction, from both near-future dystopias to far-future utopias (and everything in between). Written by award winning author & TEDx speaker David Simpson, this collection explores many different genres from thrillers to romances to mysteries and much more.
Fever Fae (Dark Fae Kings Book 1) (affiliate link)
My parents mysteriously disappeared, leaving me to raise my six crazy, younger siblings.
It gets worse when a slew of assassins hunt me, followed by three devastatingly hot Fae who stalk me.
Baron, the pompous Summer King, thinks I’m a dark Fae and wants my head. Then he changes his mind and declares me his fated mate.
Then there’s Rowan, the cruel Winter King, who offers to protect me, but only if I accept his obnoxious courtship.
And finally, there’s Night King Rydstrom, a dangerous Fae with an ass that doesn’t quit, who thinks he has every right to play me like a fiddle.
How to Kiss Your Best Friend: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (How to Kiss a Hawthorne Brother Book 1) (affiliate link)
He’s a hot high school chemistry teacher living in a small town. She’s a globetrotting journalist running from her past. They used to be best friends. Then one kiss changes everything.
Kate Fletcher is my kryptonite.
She’s also my best friend. Former best friend?
I’m not sure what you call it when we grew up attached at the hip and then she left Silver Creek (and me) to travel the world.
The important thing is: Kate is back. (Temporarily.)
And I’m still in love with her. (Permanently.)
But something is different now. The attraction doesn’t seem one-sided. I don’t think I’m imagining the heat in Kate’s eyes or the chemistry crackling between us.
Pity Date (Pity Series Book 1) (affiliate link)
A week ago, if you told me my boyfriend was cheating on me, I would have called you a liar.
If you said a movie star would walk into my bakery and offer to help make my ex jealous, I would have thought you’d eaten one too many of my grandmother’s special brownies.
And if you had the audacity to suggest my fake date would turn into the love of my life? I would have told you to stop toying with me. I’ve been through enough disappointment lately.
There’s no way a movie star is going to fall in love with a bakery owner from Wisconsin. This isn’t a Hallmark movie.

A Really Big Lunch: The Roving Gourmand on Food and Life (affiliate link)
Jim Harrison was beloved for his untamed prose and larger-than-life appetite. Collecting many of his most entertaining and inspired food pieces for the first time, A Really Big Lunch “brings him roaring to the page again in all his unapologetic immoderacy, with spicy bon mots and salty language augmented by family photographs” (NPR).
From the titular New Yorker article about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to essays on the relationship between hunter and prey, or the obscure language of wine reviews, A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison’s aperçus and delight in the pleasures of the senses. Between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison’s life over the last three decades.
