"I got 99 problems but a Mitch ain't one."

A friends-to-lovers, fake-boyfriend romance from NYT and USA Today bestseller Marie Harte

DEAR AUNT TRUTH: Thanks for taking the time to answer me. I got 99 problems but a Mitch ain’t one. (Heh—he’s my ex.) My life is complicated. I have enough trouble dealing with my jerk of a boss, my overbearing parents, an awful bridesmaid’s dress, and my wayyyy too sexy downstairs neighbor. He’s the real problem.

The good news is we’re friends. Xavier is smart, kind, and heck, I’ll say it—beyond nice to look at. But when my mom forces me into a plus-one situation for my sister’s wedding, I lie and tell her I’m bringing Xavier—my new (fake) boyfriend.

He’s up for tricking my parents, especially if I return the favor with his mom, acting as his new (again, fake) girlfriend. Except somehow I find myself liking him a lot more than I should. And, well, things are getting heated, especially in the bedroom. I’m falling in love. And I’m not sure what to do about it…

Reporter Avery Dearborn hasn't had the best day. She was filmed fending off a lovesick dog before being rescued from falling flat on her face by none other than her arch nemesis. Seattle firefighter Brad Battle hasn't changed at all in the five years since she last saw him. He's still handsome, hot, and charming—to everyone but her.

Brad can't believe his bad luck to run into Avery, of all people. But to make matters worse, their shared chemistry on screen goes viral. Soon he's forced to work with her for a popular online live streaming segment. The spot will help the local animal charity and make the fire department look good, so who is he to disobey a direct order to cooperate?

Trust takes time, but as Avery and Brad come to realize they are different people than when they first met, anger turns to irresistible attraction, and hard feelings into hot sex. But letting the past stay in the past isn't as easy as it sounds. And if they're not careful, that attraction could ignite and they'll both get burned.

**Trigger warning: book has mention of the hero's tragic past, involving a friend's suicide.

He's always had a way with the ladies
She won't give him the time of day
Sparks fly when two hearts in motion collide.

Florist Joey Reeves is working overtime to stay away from Lou Cortez, the ace mechanic with a reputation for irresistible charm. She's a single mom with enough on her plate—the last thing she needs is entanglement with the hottest guy in town...

"Well, hello there."

Joey glanced up and froze. The man who'd been haunting her sleep looked even better in the hard light of day.
"H-hello." She coughed. The guys who worked at Webster's Garage all looked larger than life, covered in tattoos, muscles, and that indefinable sense of danger they wore like a second skin. But this guy, the tall, Latin lover with dark-brown eyes and lips made for kissing, who had snared her.

Johnny Devlin's a charmer with a checkered past. Stealing cars landed him in jail, but he's learned his lesson. Now he spends his days working in the body shop at Webster's Garage and his nights trying to stay out of trouble—mostly. He's had his eye on bartender Lara Valley for ages, but she's perfected the art of rejecting him at this point. Still, when some dirtbag attacks her in the parking lot, Johnny doesn't hesitate to come to her aid. And when Lara finally asks him on a date as a no-strings-attached thank you, he won't be doing anything but saying hell yes.

Fact: Vampires are the strongest of all the magir.
Fact: Vampires are cruel, capricious creatures who believe in getting even at all costs.
Fact: Stealing from a vampire? The worst move Fara has ever made.

Dusk Elf Faraine doesn’t have a lot of time. She’s up against a master vampire trying to dominate the world. And with the Bloode Stones, he just might. She’s got one chance to beat him—giving the stone to someone else—Varujan of the Night Bloode.

If anyone can defeat the master vamp, it’s his son.

Varu loathes everyone equally. Even the new kin he’s been forced to join because a goddess said so. What are gods to vampires? Nothing. But when a pesky fae tries jerking him around, hate turns to interest, and before he knows it, he’s captivated by the sneaky, irresistible female.

But her plans are enough to get him and everyone he knows killed. That’s if the Bloode Stone doesn’t destroy him first.

Warning: Beware dusk elves with an agenda, snarky vampires, a wandering battle cat, interfering gods, vampire pranks that aren't as funny as that guy thinks they are, and a stubborn anti-hero who learns there's more to life than bloode and battle.

Firefighter Tex McGovern struck out with Bree Gilchrist the first time. And the second. And the third... He should probably just stay away. After all, Bree's father is his boss, and pursuing her goes against the firefighter brotherhood. No matter how much he desires her, Bree is off limits. Period. But as things start to heat up between them, Tex decides some codes are meant to be broken...

Bree distrusts Tex. The displaced cowboy-turned-rescue-worker is too wild and wicked for his own good. Then she sees him helping people with no thought to himself, and she can't help wondering what could be if she were suddenly his. But her father will not have his daughter dating a firefighter, and he can break Tex's career. That's a heavy burden to place on anyone, and Tex and Bree are forced to decide if the sparks between them are enough to risk the fallout to them both.
