What to Read Next: Volume 42

Hey ,

Tuesday, the 15th, was I love to Write Day. Between you and me, every day is some strange holiday. Tomorrow is Name Your PC Day, for example, which is rather stupid. Not naming your PC, but celebrating it.

But I love to Write Day was worth celebrating - at least for me. I am one of the lucky few who does love to write. Statistically, ninety percent of people will say they want to write a book. Fewer than ten percent of those people will even try, and less than half of that group will succeed. Meanwhile, I have published nine books and have plans for as many as six more next year!

Here are other authors who beat the odds. Won't you explore their work?

Off-Limits & Irresistible by Jenna Gunn

I was so far outside my comfort zone I was practically in outer space. A blind date with an older man...the dad of a teenage son.

The hotter-than-the-sun firefighter from another district. It was just one date. Destined to go nowhere. My mantra is relationships are better left to other people. But boy did I get blindsided.

I don't know what I feel harder for... The charming banter or the mountains of muscles under his black t-shirt. Then, when he kissed me things things got seriously hot. So freaking hot I ran.

Literally. Into the bathroom because I couldn't breathe. What a time to have a panic attack. So imagine my dismay to be sitting across a desk from those smoldering green eyes one year later. Hired for a job in his county to help with an arson case. Only Brock Mitchell isn't a captain now. He's the fire chief. And I'm in seriously hot water. Because even though our careers are on the line... And my brother's enraged... We can't seem to put out the flames. How's a girl supposed to resist six-plus feet of chiseled, dominant, irresistible boss? But the arsonist we are chasing is far more dangerous than I ever expected. Chief Brock Mitchell was born to protect and defend, I just hope he makes it on time.

Fleeing with Lust by Cassie Lee Hart

Victoria is stuck at another work party when she comes across Isabel. Isabel steals her heart with a smile. Victoria can’t help but kiss her back when Isabel plants one on her, even though she has a husband. But before the kiss can move any further the two pull apart, Victoria immediately panics before Isabel convinces her it’s all okay. Influenced by Isabel’s smile, Victoria says yet to meet Melech, her husband. A drink and a drugging later, the three of them land in bed together. Victoria can no longer control her desires for Isabel, due to the Molly. The night quickly goes south. The next morning, frantic to satiate her desires for Victoria, Isabel gets into bed with Melech but is thankfully interrupted by Victoria. Melech is torn away from the two by work and Victoria takes the opportunity to tell Isabel the truth about her husband. Within minutes the two women decide to do anything and everything to get away from Melech. But will he catch up to them in their lust filled love?

What the Heart Wants by Teiran Smith

Burgeoning photographer Olivia Bell is a normal twenty-four-year-old, working diligently to hone her craft with the help of her idol and mentor, Everett Shaw. But she quickly falls for the much older, irresistible Lothario, and the two embark on a passionate, forbidden romance. When their relationship is revealed, the fallout has dire consequences. Everett isn’t just Liv’s mentor—he’s also a well-traveled, nefarious lady’s man responsible for countless broken hearts across the globe. Not to mention, her sister despises Everett to the deepest recesses of her soul. The odds are stacked against the star-crossed lovers, but they can’t deny what their hearts want. Determined to be together, they forge full steam ahead despite all that stands in their way. But what happens when Liv and Everett realize they are in different places in their lives… with conflicting hopes and dreams? Liv has to decide if she’s willing to fight to hold on to the love of her life, even if it means altering the plans she has for her future. But what will she do when the skeletons in Everett’s closet are brought out into the light?

Brooks: Heroes of Chisham Creek, Book 1 by Shea Anne Lowell

A surprise baby. An older woman. One man hoping for a second chance.

When Brooks responds to a small plane crash and discovers the only survivor—an 8-month-old baby girl—his entire world flips upside down.

Because it’s his name listed as father on the birth certificate. He has no memory of being with the child’s mother. Yet he can’t bear to see the innocent baby go into foster care. The new single father needs help, which Everly is more than happy to give him. Even after he ghosted her following the perfect date six months ago, she can’t stand to see him struggle with his little one. Especially when she’s been there herself, becoming a mother overnight to her three nephews and niece.

She’s determined to keep things strictly platonic with the younger man, but the more time she spends with Brooks, the harder that vow becomes to keep.

This might be their second chance. When tragedy rocks them again, will their love be strong enough to weather the storm?
