Forbidden Nurse Next Door by Amy Andrews
A few words from author Amy Andrews…
There’s just something so deliciously, spine-tingling wonderful about yearning. Am I right, or am I right? And this book has it in spades. I mean, Warwick has had it bad for his best friend’s sister forever. But unfortunately for him, she’s not just that – Caroline is his ex sister-in-law! Yes, she used to be married to his brother – his twin brother – no less.
It is, as they say, complicated.
Which would ordinarily be fine because they never see each other. Except now she’s not only moving to his city but, an emergency at her accommodation means she’s now living under his roof.
And even if it is only temporary, how much is a guy expected to bear?
Forbidden Nurse Next Door brings all the forbidden love, forced proximity vibes that lead to a spicy awakening for Caroline as she slowly realises that she may just have fallen for the wrong brother all those years ago!

Amy’s Editor, Flo says…
I’ve always been a sucker for a best friend’s sister storyline, and this gorgeous book by Amy is a shining example of why! There’s a sweetness – Warwick and Caroline have known and cared about each other for years – but the sexiness as their relationship moves into totally different territory is off the charts. Add in the thrill of working alongside your crush too, and I was a goner! Total Medical Romance perfection ❤

Backstage Night with the Billionaire by Mariah Ankenman
A few words from author Mariah Ankenman…
Opposites do more than attract when a struggling aerialist with romantic notions crosses paths with a cynical billionaire who thinks he’s cursed by love. Could true love’s kiss break the curse or will the secret he’s keeping from her doom them to be star-crossed lovers? You’ll have to read to find out!
Writing Kell and Piper’s story was so much fun because I got to incorporate my love for aerial arts. The romantic nature of the sport lends itself to swoony stories so well that I knew I had to write an aerialist and pair her up with a cynical hero who doesn’t believe in love. It was so much fun having these opposite try and fight off their attraction and fall right into love.
– Mariah
Mariah’s Editor, Helena says…
For fans of fun, fresh and flirty romance — brilliant news! Mariah is kicking off a trilogy that is guaranteed to have you blushing, sighing, and kicking your feet with sheer romantic delight.
I loved aerialist heroine Piper as soon as she faced up to the intruder in her temporary home armed with nothing but a whiffle bat and her gumption…and when that intruder turned out to be billionaire-in-a-hard-hat Kell, I knew we were in for an exceedingly fun ride to perfect romance! All the magic of the quintessential Love Always, with sparkling humour and plenty of chemistry!
Check out the rest of the Love Under Construction series as they come out for more Ankenman goodness.

Out-of-Office Temptation by Cathy Williams
A few words from author Cathy Williams…
Sun, sea and sex — does it get better than that? I loved this book because I love a boss-secretary plot. Forget the 12 hour shareholder meeting and get Erin and Raffaele to the bedroom!
– Cathy
Cathy’s Editor, Helena says…
If you’re ready to start your summer escape NOW, then look no further than Out-of-Office Temptation! I always love working with Cathy because of that inimitable feel-good factor her Modern stories deliver by the bucketload, and Erin and Raffaele’s steamy whirlwind romance is no exception. Take an aggravatingly attractive boss and a PA who’s not afraid to give him a piece of her mind, throw them together in tropical seclusion and what do you get? A perfect slice of paradise! Magical, glamorous and hot, hot, hot!

The Scandalous Lady Mina by Lara Temple
A few words from author Lara Temple…
Step on board a luxurious Victorian ocean liner sailing from New York towards the ballrooms of London! No, you’re not a dollar princess on her way to wed a duke. You’re Lady Mina Davenport, a disgraced, penniless once-debutante who publicly jilted her perfectly perfect fiancé years ago. No one wants you back in London, least of all your ex-fiance’s cousin, the wealthy, if grumpy Max Cavendish, who happens to be on the same voyage… Max knew you at your best and your worst and he’s made it crystal clear there will be no second chance romance for you with his cousin!
But second chances are sneaky things. Especially when there are other forces at play…
Max and Mina are my absolute favourite couple – prickly, fiercely loyal, and damaged but ready to take on everything life throws at them, including each other. They are perfectly matched while being perfectly convinced they aren’t…
I hope you enjoy my enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance where Max and Mina battle and banter it out on board a luxurious golden age ocean liner and throughout London’s brilliant ballrooms…
– Lara
Lara’s Editor, Carly says…
Need something to fill the Bridgerton shaped hole in your life? Look no further than The Scandalous Lady Mina by Lara Temple. Lara pushes the enemies to lovers trope to the max by sticking her enemies together on board a luxury ocean liner. With nowhere to escape (except overboard!), Mina and Max will have to confront the sparks flying between them once and for all!
Lara’s fresh approach to the well-loved Victorian era, with her fiercely independent heroine, dashing high society hero and sumptuous historical glamour (think bustles, big skirts and dreamy ballrooms) will leave you swooning!
