Hard Love When two people in pain collide, there is something intoxicating about drowning in the chaos of hard love. Brando Hawkins is a detective with the Denver Police Department. The world should be his to take. He’s a dedicated officer with a promising career. But Brando’s got secrets. Dark, ruthless secrets. At twenty-six, he’s burned-out, and the sight of another body, one more unhappy ending, might just do him in. Catherine Abbott is a woman who wars with her demons and guards her heart. Immersed in a world where people ink their lives on their skin, Catherine trusts only that which she can see. And, as a rape survivor, she finds comfort in control. But Brando’s demons start to tangle with hers. They’re dangerous, like hers. But they’re beautiful too. A spray of bullets brings them together, and the pain of their pasts collide with the lure of their futures. Cat wants to mend his heart and his wounds, but Brando’s secrets lay tucked away in a vault so tightly sealed, she can’t get through. Everything around them is covered in the confusion of love and the burn of revenge, but no one ever said love was easy. Hard Love is the next standalone installment in the Guns & Ink series by Shana Vanterpool, a world of tattoos, love, and redemption from Swoon Romance. -- SNEAK A PEEK AT BOOK 1 – MAD LOVE: Life had a way of expunging your expectations. But it also had a way of rebuilding them. I met a hero the day I walked into Klayton’s tattoo shop, broken and terrified. My heart was tattered, and my mental state was a plain of rubble in my skull. He wasn’t your typical hero. But atypical was exactly what I needed. I needed strength to combat my weaknesses. I needed love to fight my terror. And I needed someone to look at me like I was whole, when I feared I never would be again. I sometimes wished we could have a do-over. That I could walk into his tattoo shop smiling, clean, and glowing. But that would only erase the brutal, beautiful truth of us. I didn’t walk into his tattoo shop smiling, I wasn’t clean, and I was severely damaged. But Klayton loved me anyway. Even when I was empty, even when I was broken. Even when I was mad. Author Bio: When I walk into a book store I feel at home. When I smell the pages of a brand new book things make sense. When I read I am who I always wanted to be. I read to escape and I write so others can as well. My family, my actress dog Bella, coffee, and a steamy love story are a few of my most precious things.

A Dirty Dicks Standalone Novel

Claire Daniels is good at a lot of things, but dating isn't one of them. Although she enjoys men of all different shapes, colors, and sizes, she has one requirement: they must have a job on her approved-occupation list. It has to be safe, so they can come home every night, which means no cops, pilots, doctors, ranchers, and absolutely no firefighters.
Sheâs kept to her rules thus farâas long as you ignore the tiny crush she has on Trevor Allen, a crush that cannot move toward anything physical because Trevor is a firefighter and a rancher. Not to mention, heâs four years younger than she is and the brother of her two best friends.
Still, it sure would be nice to have him put out her fire.
Trevor Allen also has a few rules when it comes to Claire Daniels: no staring, flirting, smokinâ hot fantasies, or touching of any kind. He's been lusting after Claire his whole life, but with a steady stream of willing women and two demanding jobs to hold his attention, he's somehow managed to keep his hands off her.
Until they end up in a bathroom togetherâa small bathroom with very little room to move, leaving him pressed against Claireâs lush curves. What's he supposed to do when she looks up at him with those big, green doe eyes and licks her lips? The only thing he can do: kiss the hell out of her, then convince her it canât happen again.
Too bad he can't convince himself.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as brazen and kick-butt as she thinks she is.
Right Text Wrong Number Cheerleader Layla and football player Tyler are complete opposites. She thinks he’s the biggest jerk in school and he thinks she’s too high on her horse to even be worth a second glance. When the two of them are near one another, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. They can hardly endure speaking, let alone dating. But when Layla unknowingly sends Tyler a smack-down text meant for the girl sending naked photos to her then-boyfriend, Adam, Tyler has no idea it’s Layla and decides to play along. After all, Tyler cannot resist messing with the pissed off girl firing off texts about junk pictures, cheating, and girl code. As the fallout from Adam’s scandalous texts plays out in front of the entire school, Tyler and Layla secretly continue to text each other using fake names. But as days and weeks pass, things take a turn for the serious between them, and suddenly, their texts mean more. Maybe it’s time to come clean about who they are and risk taking the relationship from texts to dates, then kissing, and maybe more. They say there’s a thin line between love and hate. Can reality live up to the fantasy, or will Layla and Tyler be forever offsides? Book 2: You’d think a girl with the most romantic name in the world would have her pick of boyfriends. But Valentine’s Day sucks when you’re single. Just ask Juliet Valentine, whose last name happens to also be the name of the most dreaded made-up holiday ever.

Quarterback Jared Black is the most popular guy in school. A star athlete, Jared tops the most-eligible bachelor list year after year. But to Juliet Valentine, he’s all but invisible. She isn’t impressed. Jared’s never had to work hard to get the attention of a girl before. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and he’s determined to ask Juliet out. After all, if Tyler can win over Layla, Jared ought to have a shot with Layla’s sister. Unlike Tyler and Layla, charm, flattery and good looks won’t work on Juliet. So with the V-Day dance coming up, Jared uses the school’s Love-Grams to let Juliet know how he feels. Should be simple enough, right? Wrong. Each attempt ends up either in the trash or thrown in someone’s face. Juliet won’t play his game. Now, without a date to the dance Jared realizes it’s going to take a Hail Mary to win the girl of his dreams. --

EXCERPT
âMaverick?â I gasped at the sight of my boyfriend leaning against the hood of his car. âWhat are youââ
He stalked toward me, buried his hands in my hair, and kissed me. Deep and slow and full of unspoken promises. Our tongues tangled together as he guided me against the side of his car, pressing into me, showing me just how much heâd missed me.
âMaverick,â I murmured, curling my hands into his t-shirt.
âFuck, Iâve missed you,â he breathed between kisses.
When he finally pulled away and stared down at me with those intense eyes of his, my mind cleared. âWhy are you here?â I arched a brow. I wanted to believe it was because he missed me and just had to see me but there was something glittering his eyes.
âI missed you,â he repeated.
âMaverick...â
His walls slammed up and he narrowed his eyes. I let out a heavy sigh, able to see straight through him. âKyle told you, didnât he?â
âIt should have come from you.â He gave me a pointed look that I felt all the way down to the pit of my stomach.
âThatâs not fair.â I stepped back, running a hand through my hair. âI called last night to tell you and you wereââ
âShit, I know.â He tilted his face skyward and let out a long sigh. âThis, me being away, itâs harder than I thought it would be.â When his eyes met mine again, my shoulders relaxed, the annoyance ebbing away.
âI know. We both just need to give it time.â I slid my fingers through his belt loops, pulling us together. âAnd we both need to relax a little. I canât freak out every time you go to a party and you canât freak out that Iâm working here.â
He stiffened but I yanked harder. âMaverick.â
âI wonât pretend to like it, because I donât.â His dark gaze flicked behind us to Hitters. âBut I trust you, Lo, and I know you need this.â
âThank you.â I leaned up pressing a kiss to his jaw, but Maverick dipped his head, capturing my lips in a breath-taking kiss.
âMaybe we should take this somewhere else,â I whispered. âUnless you have to get back to SU?â
âI donât need to be back until morning. You have me all night.â His voice was thick with need, and it softened something inside of me.
âPerfect. Iâll text my dad and let him know weâll be at the pool house.â
His eyes danced with desire as he kissed me again and then opened the door for me. I slid inside and waited for him. There was so much I wanted to ask but I didnât want to ruin the moment either. So I sat quietly while he drove us back to his house.
âI canât believe youâre here,â I said as he pulled into the drive away and cut the engine.
âI wanted to see you.â
âWanted to or needed to?â
âBoth, I guess,â he admitted, reaching over and sliding his fingers into mine. âIâm not going to lie to you, Lo, I was pissed when Kyle told me about Hitters. But mostly, I was pissed it came from him and not you.â
âMaverick, Iâ youâre right. I should have told you. I should have made you listen. But Gus is good people. And Sarah and Liam seem really nice. And it means I donât have to be there so much.â
His expression softened. Maverick didnât need me to spell it out for him, he knew how hard things had been since Stella and Bethany had moved in a little over a week ago. âCome on, letâs go inside. Weâve missed you.â
âWe?â I asked as I climbed out of the car. Maverick smirked, holding out his hand for me.
âYeah, me and him.â He dropped his eyes to his crotch and I rolled my eyes.
âOh my god, youâre turning into Kyle.â
âI thought you dug that cocky humor he has going for him?â
âGross.â I smacked his arm. âThatâs my cousin youâre taking about.â
âWhen you say it like that...â Maverick grimaced and pulled me into the yard. The Stone-Prince house had become my second home over the summer. Which was weird since I once hated the place and everything it stood for. But now I kind of loved it. Not to mention the fact it housed three of my favourite people.
âShould we go inside and say hello?â I flicked my head to the main house, but Maverick was already pulling me toward the pool house.
âWe can say hello later or in the morning.â
I couldnât hide my smile at that. Even if it was only a flying visit, Maverick was home and didnât want to waste a single second of it.

Title: Simmer Author: Stephanie Rose Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: May 16, 2018 Blurb
Simmer (verb): to stew gently below or just at the boiling point; to be in a state of incipient development
My life was always at a simmer⦠only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without.
I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me.
Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrificeâwith absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.
Drew Kostas is everything Iâve ever wanted but couldn't let myself have. Heâs younger, gorgeous, charmingâand relentless. He sees beyond the hardened shell Iâve built to protect myself, coaxing out a softer me I don't recognize.
It doesn't matter how I melt in his presence when the heat between us threatens to boil over.
That's the thing about heat. When it rises, everyone gets burned.
Especially when they're foolish enough to fall in love.

Heâs the most notorious bad boy in royalty.
The kind of man your mother warns you about.
Heâs not the man you get drunk with, or get tattoos with.
Heâs not the man you wake up naked in a hotel bed next to.
Oh, and heâs definitely not the one you accidentally marry.
Oops...
Rough, wild, uncivilized and filthy. The tabloids like to write all sorts of shit about me, but some of itâs pretty spot on. Like the tattoo Iâve got you-know-where?
Yeah, that oneâs true.
I wasnât looking for trouble that night, but I sure found it in her â Princess Faith LaFleur. If Iâm the notorious bad boy, sheâs just as infamous for being good, sweet, innocent, and untouched.
I saved her from a tight spot, but it all gets fuzzy from there. Fuzzy, close, kissing, tattooed, a couple of âI-doâsâ, and a whole bunch of naked from there. And the next thing I know, Iâm waking up next to the last girl on earth I should have anything to do with.
Because that sweetness comes with a whole big helping of sass, and thereâs more fire in her than I ever saw coming. Oh, and throw in the fact that her fatherâs behind a plot to take my crown and steal my kingdom, and weâve got ourselves what you might call a situation.
The world will tell me that this is wrong, and that I should walk away.
â¦Not a chance.
First, I made her my wife. But now, Iâm going to make her mine.
