Resisting the Bossy Billionaire by Michelle Smart
A few words from author Michelle Smart . . .
Love a steamy forced proximity read where a demanding, arrogant billionaire finds himself gobsmacked when his overworked PA reaches the end of her tether and quits her job…only to promptly find himself snowbound in his luxury apartment with her? Love a book where secret, forbidden desire can no longer be contained even though acting upon it is the very worst thing either of them can do…?

Michelle’s Editor, Annie Says . . .
I love getting lost in Michelle’s stories! To open one of her books is to be whisked into a whirlwind of passion and luxury, where the heroes are hot and the chemistry is sky-high. Her relatable and charismatic heroines give the alpha heroes a run for their (considerable) money, with toe-curling sexual tension to boot. Michelle really is a queen of the spicy billionaire romance!

Prince’s Reunion In Paradise by Faye Acheampong
A few words from author Faye Acheampong . . .
To me, it made perfect sense that a prince and popstar would bond over the unique experience of growing up in the public eye. Opening up about something that personal requires trust and respect, so I always knew that Damica and Dorian would have a friends-to-lovers journey! Damica is partially inspired by the model Winnie Harlow. I also read Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, and listened to loads of songs from 2000s-era Disney Channel shows.

Faye’s Editor, Hannah says . . .
As a millennial, I grew up on a diet of Disney Channel films. At the time, the stratospheric rise of child stars and the painfully public way that their careers could plummet was part of the global zeitgeist. So, I adore that Prince’s Reunion in Paradise explores what Happily-Ever-After can look like after a celebrity hits rock bottom!

Nurse’s Twin Baby Surprise by Colette Cooper
A few words from author Colette Cooper . . .
What could be more annoying than the much anticipated, new consultant strolling into your department and taking over like he owns the place? Especially when he’s a handsome, hotshot, celebrity heart surgeon who blatantly disregards the rules and makes your heart beat way faster than it should.
If you love fast paced drama, pulse racing chemistry, sassy heroines and cool, uncompromising heroes, Nurse’s Twin Baby Surprise is the perfect read for you!
– Colette
Colette’s Editor, Binti Says . . .
Colette Cooper is a brilliant new voice for the Medical series! Colette’s debut perfectly balances captivating medical drama with sizzling, romantic tension and relatable characters you can’t help but root for. This is such a touching and emotional medical romance, and I just know readers are going to love it!

One Waltz With The Viscount by Laura Martin
A few words from author Laura Martin . . .
One Waltz with the Viscount begins with a desperate Sarah Shepherd sneaking through the first floor window of a grand house whilst there is a ball in the rooms below. Of course she gets caught, swept into the arms of the delectable Lord Routledge, who should be spending his time searching for a suitable bride, not dancing with an irresistible stranger in the darkness of the library. This book was so fun to write, I got to explore traditional regency society from the eyes of an outsider and create two people with chemistry that sizzled from the very first page.
If you like Cinderella, rags-to-riches romances with a little bit of mystery and a little bit of spice then One Waltz with the Viscount is the book for you.

Laura’s Editor, Carly Says . . .
Laura’s love of history and travel shine through in her writing and she takes readers on memorable journeys in her stories. Along with the characters, readers will experience the rush of falling in love, the glamour of Regency Society and the emotional rollercoaster as the couple overcome the obstacles to reach their happy ending. Laura’s Cinderella Shepherd Sisters duet takes readers from London to Scotland as two sisters unravel the mystery of their birth – and find unexpected love along the way!

Boss’s Plus-One Demand by Louise Fuller
A few words from author Louise Fuller . . .
Regrets? We all have a few, but cash-poor Sydney has more than most. Now, though, she is trying to live a different kind of life. And it’s all going perfectly until she is hired to hack brooding CEO Tiger McIntyre, and he catches her red-handed. Jail time beckons but Tiger comes up with a way out. Be his ‘girlfriend’ for a week!
This was a fun write. Set in two beautiful cities, New York and Venice, it has some of my all-time top tropes – forced proximity, falling for the boss and enemies to lovers. So, curl up in your favourite armchair, toss another log on the fire, and find out what happens when you pull a Tiger by the tail.
Happy Christmas!

Louise’s Editor, Jenny says . . .
Louise Fuller’s stories never fail to take me on a rollercoaster filled with emotional intensity, delicious tension, and sizzling passion! Boss’s Plus-One Demand is no exception. When our flawed but oh-so endearing Sydney meets ruthless, guarded tycoon Tiger, it’s not exactly on the best of terms… And yet the spark between them is undeniable! This is an utterly compelling read, and I urge you all to pick up a copy.
