Blush of Love by Rachelle Ayala
Summary:
Talented video game designer Safire Chu is gun-shy when it comes to dating real men, especially since she spends all her time shooting at their avatars.

Football player Gunner Gibson is nothing but trouble, according to the Remingtons—especially since he tried to use Siena Remington to clean up his bad boy image.

Now, Gunner wants to cheat on an online video game, so he asks Safire to a New Year’s Eve party while his publicist hacks into the game database through Safire’s computer.

A bit of champagne and the countdown to the ball drop loosens Safire’s inhibitions. When her company’s newest secret game is pirated, Safire wonders if the man she’s fallen for at first blush is not all he seems.

Pitching of  Love by Amy Manemann
Summary:
Tough as nails publicist, Mia Scott, has built her career by dodging the advances from her elite clientele. Her number one rule; never mix business with pleasure. Until a split second decision leads her to a night of unbridled passion -- and the morning after blues when she discovers the man she spent an amazing night with is her newest client.

A professional pitcher for the Marlins, Evan Ahrens knows he messed up, and messed up royally. One mistake on the field puts him on thin ice with the league and lands him a new PR rep to fix his soiled image. He goes to NightCaps to toss back a few drinks and blow off some steam -- and meets his match in a feisty dark haired woman who takes him to heights he's never been. There's only one problem -- she's his new publicist, and she's made it clear there will be no repeat performances.

A battle of wills gives way to uncontrollable passion as Mia fights her growing feelings to keep things professional, while Evan decides for once in his life he wants something more. The game just went from saving his career, to pitching for love.

City of Love by Kaira Rouda
Summary:
Her heart is empty in the new life she’s living.

Charlotte Taylor knows she’s gorgeous. She’s been told that all her life. Since she was a child, her mom, a former model and Miss Georgia, has been grooming her for a professional modeling career and tomorrow, she’ll sign with the top agency in New York City. It should be a dream come true.

Alone, and unhappy, she doesn’t know where to turn.

Hale Scott works long hours as a chef at the hottest restaurant in Manhattan. It should be his dream job, serving hip food to the coolest crowd in the city. The only problem is his boss. The highlight of his evening is the gorgeous woman he keeps making eye contact with, sitting at the table closest to the kitchen. She looks sad and lonely and he hopes she’s still there when the dinner rush subsides.

Charlotte and Hale find an instant connection but a relationship is the last thing Charlotte needs and the only thing Hale wants. Can they find a way to stay together in the overwhelming city, or can they find their own city of love?

Can they revive the sparks they initially shared, or will the incident with her son send them in opposite directions?

Blush of Love by Rachelle Ayala
No way. It can’t be. The Gunner Gibson?

Safire Chu blinked and blinked, but the man standing at her apartment door seemed like the real thing—three dimensional, oozing with charm and was that a whiff of cologne? Three-dimensional avatars, well, actually 3D projected on 2D screens didn’t smell like sex and spice and woods and oh gosh, they didn’t stand at her door with a bouquet of red roses.

“You must have the wrong apartment.” Safire found her voice which managed to eek from her throat in a tiny squeak.

“You are Miss Safire Chu, aren’t you?” the man god in front of her insisted.

“Uh, sure, if you say so.” She fumbled with her tongue as her brain busily catalogued his dark, smooth hair, his chiseled angular face, his lady-killer eyes, and all of the features she’d need for her latest superhero video game avatar.

Yes, she was a video game designer, and she could use real models to fill out the wireframes she created—ones to represent Army rangers, Navy SEALs, interplanetary warriors, and, now that she thought about it, football players.

“May I come in?” He angled himself as if he were about to barge through a line of defensive backs.

“Sure, uh, yes, I mean, the place is a mess. I’ll get out of your way.” She stepped back and let the star football player into her tiny one-bedroom apartment, although she had no clue why he was standing in front of her with a dozen roses.

City of Love by Kaira Rouda
“That’s what I love about this city. All the surprises, big and small. Like meeting you tonight,” he said. Suddenly they were face to face, in this romantic starlit space. Charlotte looked up at Hale, standing in front of her, and all she wanted was for him to kiss her.

“Kiss me,” she said, and heard him inhale a breath before taking her face gently between his two hands and kissing her tenderly on the lips. Her head filled with stars at the gentle romantic kiss. As if moving of their own accord, she ran her hands up his chest and onto his shoulders, wrapping them around him. She felt his hand in her hair, cradling her as he deepened the kiss. Before she knew it, she was melting into his embrace. And all too quickly, she felt him pulling away. 

“Wow,” he said, breaking the kiss but keeping his eyes locked on hers.

Love in the City by Zoe York
Daniel tried like hell to pay attention to the conversation going on beside him at the bar, but on the other side of the ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria, Lucy Sark wasn’t wearing nearly enough to be out in public.

He’d recognize Griffin’s baby sister anywhere, anytime, and not because she was related to his partner, but because she was the most beautiful, way-too-young, don’t-even-think-about-it woman in New York City. 

And he was going to hell, because every time she stopped and talked to someone, and slid her head to the side, baring a long, luscious expanse of neck, he could only think about how good she must smell. Taste. Sound, even, if he were to give in to his desperate urge to smell and taste her. 

She was wearing a little black dress that was giving him heart palpitations, because it ended way too high on her endless thighs and dipped way too low on her graceful back. She needed someone—Daniel—to sling his jacket around her and make sure she got home safely. 
He didn’t move from where he stood. That was a terrible idea. 

He took another drink.

I studied her profile. Her long dark hair was pulled back and clipped at the nape of her neck, and her pointed chin was raised in evident defiance. She blinked rapidly for a moment and shook her head as if to dispel a bad thought. Slowly, she lifted her champagne glass and let the crystal rest against her plump bottom lip. She tipped the glass back and took several swallows to finish the entire glass.

I found myself oddly turned on when she licked her dark red lip after removing the glass from her mouth. I wasn’t a big drinker and preferred sober company, but watching that woman drink down that glass as if it was life-sustaining water was almost intoxicating. She glanced around the room, empty glass hanging from her fingertips, until she passed over me. Abruptly, her focus snapped back. 

Her eyes stayed locked on mine for a few heartbeats before she dropped them to my mouth. I watched as she let her gaze travel down over my chest and then lower to my hips. Holy mother of champagne!

Title: Submission Specialist
Author: Ada Scott
Series: Still a Bad Boy #2
Genre: New Adult, Romance, Suspense
Release Date: February 26, 2016
Summary:
Instead of Prince Charming, I got Him.

Skylar
I promised I’d save myself for my wedding night.

Of course, I didn’t know it was going to be a fake marriage to a heavyweight MMA fighter.  I couldn’t have known how good it would feel to be pinned under all those muscles and tattoos, squirming, panting, and even whimpering in ecstasy.

None of us knew how deeply he was involved with the mafia.

When he disrespects them, they think they can use me to punish him.

They’re wrong.

He’s a tank in human form.

And he’s coming for me.

Austin
Men tap out inside the ring, women surrender themselves outside of it.  That’s always been my specialty.

I chose Skylar because she was so innocent.  A good girl like her would help sell my reformed image to the public.  To corrupt her and leave her ruined for all other men would be my hottest conquest yet.

But I found more in Skylar than that.  Who’d have thought that the first woman I wanted to lay more than once would be my wife?

Now they think they can take away what is mine?

Even if I have to kill every last member of the Bertolini Crime Family…

I’m coming for her.


I felt like I was sitting inside my own head watching a movie play out as I dropped the remains of my apple in the trash and headed towards the Tier-1 fighters’ area.  Uncle Malcolm wasn’t here to show me what to do.  All I had was less than a year of study and a general appreciation of massages to rely on.  It would have to do.

The Tier-1 wing had a guard at the door who looked mean enough to actually fight for NHBFC, but he let me through when he saw my uniform and heard that Gordon had sent me at Henry’s request.  The hallway behind said door was just as chaotic as the ones I’d just left, but for a completely different reason.

With a smaller group of fighters to look after, and an already smaller staff diminished by illness, it was the MMA groupies making the most noise over here.  Clusters of some of the most stunning girls currently in the city hovered around their favorite fighters’ doors, giggling and talking loudly.  It wasn’t official of course, but the guard knew only to let in the best of the best.

The intensity of their beauty only served to make me feel self-conscious, as I awkwardly nudged my way through them to Austin’s door.  Most of them were taller than me and the tops they wore made absolutely sure to show off their breasts, at my eye-level, to maximum effect.

They made me feel like a potato in a diamond display case as I sheepishly knocked on the door.  A few moments later an older guy, Austin’s coach, snatched the door open.

“I told you bitches he isn’t ready yet!”

“Uh, Gordon sent me?  Henry said you-”

“Oh, right, yeah.  He’s just in the shower-”

The groupies in earshot all squealed and started talking at once.

“You come in, he’ll be ready in a second, I’m stepping out.  Lock it behind you.  Which of you girls wants to do me a special favor so I put a good word in for you with The Killer?”

I squeezed past him as a chorus of “I do!” “I will” rang out behind me.  One of them said “How come the cleaning lady gets to go in?” Another said, “I’ll deepthroat your-” just as the door clicked shut.

Stepping into a Tier-1 dressing room after working on the other side for so long was like stepping into first-class on an airplane after only ever flying coach.  They had all the same stuff that we had, but instead of bare concrete, there was actual paint on the walls, a permanent massage table, a brand new heavy punching bag hung from the ceiling on a chain.  Plenty of bells and whistles.

Steam poured out of a cracked-open door and I could hear a shower running.  I walked over and paused by the door, before knocking even more tentatively than I had on the other one.

“Austin?  I’m here for the-”

“I told Ross to tell you I wasn’t ready!” he yelled out.

“Uh… no I’m not… uh… I work here?  Henry said you needed a massage?”

“Oh, yeah.  I’ll be right out.”

The sound of running water stopped and I caught a flash of movement in the steamed-up mirror through the opening.  Quickly, I turned and faced the other way, ashamed at the flush of excitement that came unbidden and made me bite my bottom lip without thinking about it.

After a couple minutes I felt the waft of air as the door was pulled open behind me, and turned to face him.  Standing there, wearing only a towel, with beads of water dripping down his neck and torso from his hair, was fan (and my) favorite, Austin “The Killer” Aquila.

That perfectly sculpted body looked like it was made from granite by an artist with an eye for sin, then decorated with ink in designs that curled all over.  His thick arms had contours that drew my eyes up to his broad shoulders, and then sent them down across his pecs and over each and every bump of his abs.

His lower abdominals formed lines that narrowed as my eyes roamed lower… lower… lower until the visual ride was abruptly cut off by the towel, which he held up by one hand.

I looked up and heard my jaw click shut when our eyes met.  I only hoped I’d closed my mouth before I drooled.  If I was looking at him like a piece of art, he was looking at me like a piece of food, and it took all my willpower not to find a plate to climb on to.

All heavyweights have a certain presence.  It would be hard not to when you’re a tank that has briefly assumed human form, but Austin had presence that almost seemed to make the air crackle between us and around him.  His eyes, they were looking at me in a way that would give my dad a stroke.  That brought me partway back to reality.

“Um… over there?” I pointed at the massage table.

“You sure you work here?” he asked.

“Yeah, I… I normally work in Tier-2…”

Austin closed the distance between us and leaned down towards me.  My heart tried to jump up my throat to get a better view out my mouth at all that solid muscle so close to me, and my ability to breathe be damned.

“Because, if you’re another girl that stole a uniform just to get in here… well, I’ll have to do to you what I did to her.”

A drop of water fell from his head and landed on my ear, making me flinch.  The scent of soap and the faint musk of him filled my lungs as I took a deep breath to offer whatever reassurance I could.

“I promise I work here,” I squeaked.
