REMAINING FEBRUARY RELEASES
Feb 20: The Darkest Corner of the Heart by Lisina Coney
Forbidden.
That’s what they are to each other.
Maddie Stevens has never felt good enough.
Not good enough to keep her parents’ love. Not good enough to be independent and stop being her brother’s problem. Not good enough to build the future she wants.
When she injures her ankle before a ballet audition that could change her career forever, she’s convinced her life is over at twenty-one. What’s the point of having dreams when they can go down the drain at any moment?
And because the universe has a cruel sense of humor, her physical therapist turns out to be a tank-shaped grouch who doesn’t even seem to like her that much. It’s totally unfair that, for six weeks, she’s forced to look at that handsome beard and listen to that deep voice that makes her head all dizzy. Top that with the fact that he’s ten years her senior, and falling for James Simmons is a recipe for disaster.
But when their forced proximity makes the lines start blurring, the forbidden temptation becomes impossible to resist.
Content notes: This book contains themes of alcoholism, drugs, profanity, death, and explicit sexual scenes. Recommended for mature readers only.

This is a hostile takeover, and somehow I’ve become the price.
I’ll protect the people in my father’s company, even as my father sells it to the highest bidder–along with me. That doesn’t mean I’ll be the meek bride he expects.
It’s a sensual battle of wills. He’s the king of the boardroom, and he’ll make me his queen. At any cost. Falling for him is a weakness I can’t afford.

Feb 20: Till There Was You by Lindsay Hameroff
Culinary student Lexi Berman, 24, has one goal: to make her late mother proud by becoming an executive chef in a Michelin-star restaurant. And she isn’t going to let anything–or anyone–get in the way. But when she meets Jake Taylor, a dive bar musician who charms her with show tunes, she makes a rare exception to her no-dating rule. After a steamy weekend together, Jake leaves for L.A. to record his demo, and Lexi never expects to see him again. And she definitely doesn’t expect him to become an overnight celebrity, with a breakout single that’s almost certainly about her famous blueberry pancake recipe.
As Jake’s star rises and the world speculates about the subject of his song, Lexi keeps the affair to herself. After all, she’s finally found her footing at her new restaurant job, and even has a prospective romance with her coworker. But when a distraught Jake turns up on her doorstep late one night, her carefully-laid plans are thrown for a loop. Though she and Jake try to be friends, things between them soon reheat faster than a bowl of Lexi’s matzah ball soup. But a relationship with Jake means risking her face in tabloids, withstanding cruel internet comments, and worst of all, jeopardizing her career. As Jake’s upcoming tour approaches, and rumors swirl about him and another pop star, Lexi has to decide if holding onto her meticulously-planned future is worth walking away from what could be the perfect recipe for love.
Set both in the chaos of fame and the high stakes world of New York City restaurants, this novel sprinkles in a second chance at love and a dollop of celebrity drama to create a romantic romp that will make even the most jaded reader smile.

Everyone except her CFO, Calvin Ryder.
Five years ago, Amara and Calvin had a moment that didn’t end well, and their relationship has been rocky ever since.

As the summer heats up, tensions continue to rise between them until their control snaps at last. It’s easy for them to ignore everything wrong with their professional relationship when everything about their personal one is just so right.
But before long, lines are blurred and crossed, secrets are revealed, and the life they thought they’d been building together threatens to crash down around them.

Feb 22: Tempting Promises by Corinne Michaels
What’s the worst thing you could do when you’re stranded in the woods with your rival? Sleep with him. That’s what.
Not only is Rowan Whitlock my sister’s ex, but we’re both vying for the contract that would save my family farm.
So why did it have to be Rowan who came to the rescue after I fell on a remote hiking trail? When the weather turned unexpectedly, we were forced to find shelter and ride out the storm. Only that wasn’t the only thing I ended up riding.
We promise ourselves what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin, but when we get back to Sugarloaf, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Those blue eyes captivate me, his strong body comforts me, and he makes me feel beautiful.
Which is crazy, right?
If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I’m already in too deep.
I should’ve known that the temptation wasn’t worth the risk because when it all falls apart, our promises are broken, and I’m afraid my heart will never recover.

Feb 22: Pretty Rings & Broken Things by Kat Singleton
Pretty rings can’t always fix broken things.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop powerful men from trying. Which is why instead of getting the wedding I’d always dreamed of, I was forced to marry the heir to our rival company and join a family that we’ve hated for generations.
An arranged marriage to make our problem disappear.
Then again, I’m the one that snuck around behind my father’s back and ended up at the center of a scandal that could ruin my family’s reputation.
Now the only person who can protect me is the cold and calculated billionaire, Archer Moore.
The marriage was only supposed to be for show, but Archer can be very convincing. He’s demanded we move in together. That we kiss. That we make it look—and feel—real. He’s a man who is obsessed with getting what he wants—and I’m starting to think what he wants is me.
But the closer we get, and the less we pretend, the more I question if the grudges between our families are too much to overcome for a marriage that was built on pretty rings and broken things.

Feb 23: Filthy Lawyer by Whitney G.
I crashed and burned before the most important interview of my life…
Yes, literally.
I rammed my crappy Honda into the back of a custom black McLaren, and the sexy bastard who owned it was far from amused.
Especially when I abandoned him at the fiery scene with an “I.O.U.,” twenty dollars, and a pack of glow-in-the-dark condoms as payment. (I’m too broke to afford car insurance.)
I managed to make it to my interview with a few seconds to spare, but the partner I was expecting to meet wasn’t there.
Instead, it was the unforgettable guy I’d just crashed into: Mr. Damien Carter. And his first question–‘Do you know that running away from the scene of an accident is a crime?’–convinced me that I was not getting this job.
Alas, Hamilton & Associates called me back, and I slowly realized that there are far more coincidences between me and my new boss.
Even though this grumpy bastard only utters demands and threats to me…
His firm is a place straight out of The Godfather, nothing like “the good guys on the right side of the law” on the promotional billboards. Its walls hold secrets, the clients are guilty as charged, and Damien Carter is everything wrong with the legal system.
Well, I thought that until we began a hate-love affair like no other, and I discovered his biggest secret of all…

When Isabella is tasked with tagging along to cover the band’s first national tour, this is the big break both of them need. But her internship stresses staying professional at all times, and their growing feelings for each other could jeopardize everything. So, they need to keep their distance.

When she leads him to the back of the bar, he leaves her with a kiss that most people can only fantasize about. She almost regrets that she’ll never see him again . . . except it turns out he’s her new boss.
Weston Ryder is a happy guy. Even happier now that the mystery woman from the bar is the interior designer for his dream project on his family’s ranch. He feels like he hit the jackpot. It’s too bad she wants absolutely nothing to do with him outside of work. Ada is convinced the pull she feels toward Wes will go away, but Wes can’t stop thinking about her. Even though walls are coming down around Rebel Blue, Ada’s walls are firmly in place.
Can they make it through this project without giving in? Or will they both put their dreams on the line for a chance at love?

March 6: Handling Mr. Harper by Elle Nicoll
“Two pink lines. Two potential fathers. One decision that could ruin everyone.”
They call me Sophie ‘The Handler’ Havers at my job as a criminal prosecutor because I’ve never lost a case.
There’s nothing I can’t handle.
Including Drew Harper— the man who’s been obsessed with me from afar for years. He’s intense, protective, and possessive.
I bump into him the night after I throw my lying ex out.
He tells me that if he had things his way, he’d be my husband already.
So, I do something reckless. I tell him to show me what being his means. And I’m swept up into his dizzying world where he treats me like a goddess.
Then two pink lines appear.
I don’t know who the father is.
But both men want to play daddy.
Only, they have history. And not the good kind.
They’ll both fight dirty to get their own way.
And that’s only the start of my problems.
Suddenly I’m facing something bigger than any case in my career and I’m left with only one option.
I thought I could handle anything. But this could be the first time I lose it all.

March 7: Jump on Three by J. Wolf
-Rules are my favorite.
-Order relaxes me.
-Tattooed boys with shaggy hair and soulful eyes are strictly off-limits.
I’ve recently come to the conclusion I’m bad at boyfriends. But as terrible as I am at choosing them, even I would never consider my sister’s former crush—tall, growly, enigmatic Ivan Sokolov. That’s a line I won’t cross, even if Delilah is way over him.
Ivan is just my swim teammate.
The guy who walks me to class and shares his playlists.
And he’s the person who keeps stealing my study room. Sure, there are others, but room three is mine. Which I let him know, in no uncertain terms.
The thing is, Ivan thinks my bluntness is adorable. He’s not scared off by my dozens of questions or need to move. My quirks are cute to him.
And I…well, I can’t stop looking at him, even though I shouldn’t. I also can’t resist following him—just a little—to find out his secrets.
I know better. Bullies and a lifethat hasn’t always been kind have toughened me up. I’m a realist and this is black and white.
Except when Ivan’s lips touch mine and my orderly world is turned upside down, I suddenly start to see how beautiful gray can be.

March 7: Blitz by Devney Perry
A forbidden, small town, sports romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.
A coach. A student. The rules were concrete. We broke them anyway.
The night I met Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lie. He was a Treasure State football coach. I was the star of the volleyball team. Coaches and students were forbidden. My future was on the line, so I told myself it was only one night.
That was the first lie. They got easier to tell after that. The lines blurred. The boundaries shifted. Our relationship became a game of its own.
A chaste smile. A knowing glance. A veiled touch or a hushed kiss. We hid in plain sight. We were invincible. Or so we thought. Neither of us saw the blitz coming until it was too late.
Game over. The night I left Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lose.

And the weight of each game is on my shoulders because if our opposing team scores … that’s on me. All the things that keep me up at night are probably someone else’s dreams.

But as fate would have it, we’re paired up together in a charity dance event. And now, whether she likes it or not, she has to spend time with me. A lot of time. I guess I’m in luck because it turns out she can use me in her corner right now. And when she finds herself in trouble and I’m the only one she can run to, she figures out maybe I’m not that bad after all.
Ryann is going to see I’m not like the players she’s dated in the past.

March 14: Happily Never After by Lynn Painter
Their name? The objectors.
Their job? To break off weddings as hired.
Their dilemma? They might just be in love with each other.
When Sophie Steinbeck finds out just before her nuptials that her fiancé has cheated yet again, she desperately wants to call it off. But because her future father-in-law is her dad’s cutthroat boss, she doesn’t want to be the one to do it. Her savior comes in the form of a professional objector, whose purpose is to show up at weddings and proclaim the words no couple (usually) wants to hear at their ceremony: “I object!”
During anti-wedding festivities that night, Sophie learns more about Max the Objector’s job. It makes perfect sense to her: he saves people from wasting their lives, from hurting each other. He’s a modern-day hero. And Sophie wants in.
The two love cynics start working together, going from wedding to wedding, and Sophie’s having more fun than she’s had in ages. She looks forward to every nerve-racking ceremony saving the lovesick souls of the betrothed masses. As Sophie and Max spend more time together, however, they realize that their physical chemistry is off the charts, leading them to dabble in a little hookup session or two—but it’s totally fine, because they definitely do not have feelings for each other. Love doesn’t exist, after all.
And then everything changes. A groom-to-be hires Sophie to object, but his fiancée is the woman who broke Max’s heart. As Max wrestles with whether he can be a party to his ex’s getting hurt, Sophie grapples with the sudden realization that she may have fallen hard for her partner in crime.

First was flirting with a dangerous criminal to rescue a little girl I didn’t even know.
Second was throwing a massive, masked gala in my small-town hideout (complete with drag queens) and not expecting to draw attention…
The Third rode in on a motorcycle and melted my undies (and my heart).
Raif Jones is a bad boy from the wrong side of town.
He’s the one in the faded jeans and the white T-shirt, with the tattooed muscles, naughty blue eyes, and a killer, James-Dean smile.
I asked him to marry me… to help me out of my jam, of course.
Imagine my surprise when he said yes.
We’re a little naughty and a lot hot, and the perks of being married are very… perky.
They’re perky in the shower, on the kitchen table, against the front door…
But when Bad Decision #1 tracks me down (thanks to Bad Decision #2), my outlaw husband turns Alpha Protector and risks everything to keep us safe.
It’s just a marriage of convenience. It’s supposed to have an end date.
But saying goodbye to Raif Jones could be the worst decision I’ve ever made.

When her godfather–the coach of the hottest team in the NFL–tells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesn’t cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, she’s not sure how she’s going to afford to make ends meet… until the cute kicker comes to her rescue.

In front of people, they’re colleagues. Behind the cameras, though, their attraction only grows. Late night talks turn into sharing a bed, and soon, Dallas would rather give up his career than give up the feelings he has for Maven.

He’s got all the right moves.
And makes…all the wrong plays.
Will Aster excels at two things: soccer and self-sabotage. Following a viral incident involving him and the club owner’s wife, his only option to continue playing is overseas on FC Kluvberg—a team known for not tolerating scandal. A last chance and a harsh wake-up call.
Sophia Beck has spent her life avoiding football. Growing up in the shadow of her family’s stratospheric success in the sport left scars. About to begin her final year of university, she’s eager to pursue a career in photography, not receive an internship assignment involving her brother’s team. The last thing she expects is to meet a guy—a player—who makes her want to watch a game.
He loves soccer.
She resents it.
Those contrary viewpoints collide when Will and Sophia discover something stronger than their conflicting emotions toward the sport—their feelings for each other.
But…one wrong play can cost the game.
And wrong plays are Will’s specialty.

March 19: Her List by Kylie Kent
Amalia
My friends call me picky, while my mother thinks I’m going to end up an old spinster.
Me? I just think I have standards.
And these standards are all neatly laid out on a checklist, one I tick off after each first date.
Lately, I’ve decided it’s safer to have one-off encounters. No expectations, no lists. Just an exchange without a goodbye.
That was working out well until I met Axel Williamson. The only man I couldn’t make an unnoticed escape from. The only guy who seems to be checking off every item on my list, all within the first twenty-four hours.
And you know what they say about something that seems too good to be true…
Axel
I’ve always been the hit ʼem and quit ʼem kinda guy. I’m not ashamed of that. We all have needs. Mine are just… singular. A one-time-only type of thing.
I was fully prepared to send Amalia on her way, until I found the folded-up piece of paper that fell out of her coat pocket.
And her checklist for her ideal man fast became my latest challenge. I made it my mission to meet every standard she laid out in ink.
Why? Guess I was bored.
What I didn’t expect was how much I enjoyed spending time getting to know her. She was meant to fall in love with me, not the other way around.

Only his latest stunt isn’t quite like when he was caught with his pants down at a nightclub or was cited for drag-racing on Lake Shore Drive or even that time he said a few critical things about his teammates on a hockey podcast. Oops. This time, Dex is in real trouble, the kind that could get him kicked off the team and out of the league. And that cannot happen. Hockey is the only thing he’s ever been good at. The only thing he cares about. He’ll do whatever it takes to rehab his rep, even if it means cleaning up dog poop and suffering the steely-eyed disapproval of his new no-nonsense “boss” at the animal shelter, Ashley Adams.
Ashley has enough on her plate between her low-paying job, her high-maintenance family, and a love life she’s trying to resurrect after her divorce.

But the troublemaking f-boy needs Ashley to sign off on his good deeds so he can get back to what he does best: lighting up lamps both on and off the ice. And while a guy like that could never interest her mind, it seems her body is not on the same page. Sure, Dex O’Malley is too young, too hot, too flighty for Ashley to take seriously, but a brief ride on the wild side might fit the bill …
Only that’s not enough for Dex. What happens when this notorious player decides the older, single mom is the hottest woman he’s ever met and that he wants to light her lamp . . . forever?

My angel of death,
Lurking in the shadows,
Watching over me.
Protecting me,
Before disappearing into thin air,
Until we meet again.
A man who took a bullet for me,
But he won’t touch me,
Love me,
Or even share his name.

It’s all I have ever known.
An empty shell of a human being,
No heart. No soul. No dreams.

Breathing life into my dead soul.
My fearless tiger cub,
My only reason to keep living.

As I retreat to the shadows,
Where I belong.
I cannot change the past,
Cannot take back what I have done.

But Cole isn’t done with her yet, and when he finds his way back to Red Falls, she’ll have to decide what’s more important: clinging to the neat and tidy life she’s struggled to maintain, or taking a risk, embracing the chaos, and maybe even falling in love.
Lips Like Sugar is book 2 in the Bluebird Basin Romance series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. This story features two main characters in their fifties, lots of laughs, plenty of open-door steam, and so many butterflies.
Content notes: Living with and caring for a parent with mild cognitive impairment, addiction, relapse, an unhealthy ex, grown men deeply in their feels, strong friendships, conversations about love languages, and an absurd amount of Say Anything references.

March 29: Moonstruck by Dana LeCheminant
With his knack for bad luck, Liam isn’t surprised when he’s awarded house arrest after protecting a fan at his last show. What he didn’t expect was the girl of his dreams showing up with his lunch delivery and turning his confinement into an unexpected friendship. Despite his many love songs, he’s not big on relationships, but something about Kasey has him questioning his commitment to the single life. It doesn’t hurt that she keeps inspiring new songs.
Kasey isn’t a fan of the wealthy and famous, and Liam embodies both. But he’s also friends with A-lister Derek Riley, a Hollywood heavyweight who could open doors for her screenplays. Connections have burned her before, so striking up a friendship with Liam seems futile even though Liam keeps defying all her expectations, making her believe something good could happen in her life for once. But the last time she trusted someone, she ended up with more than a broken heart.
When a tabloid photo threatens Kasey’s coveted anonymity, Liam seizes the opportunity to invite her to hide out in his house. The problem? He has no clue if she’s staying for him or for his connections. But as their relationship deepens, he realizes he’s fallen too far to let her go. She has changed his whole world, and he just has to hope she’ll let him change hers in return.

Since Amazon has eliminated clickable photo links on blogs, I’ve moved this section to an easy-to-use list over there. Find 120+ March contemporary romance releases all on one page here. This is a larger list with LOTS of upcoming releases on it (not just the ones I’m interested in!), and it might actually be easier to navigate than the old way of doing things.
