Ryan West learned at an early age that forever is never promised. Deciding to live each moment to the fullest, Ryan spends his days as a personal trainer to the rich and famous and his nights in the arms of a vast array of women. As a playboy, his motto is to work hard but play even harder. When his best friend introduces him to his attractive and soon to be sister in law, Ryan doesn’t think twice about throwing caution to the wind and bedding the woman that should be off limits. The sparks that ignite between them are undeniable and he struggles to push her memory from his mind. 

Knowing happily ever after only happens in fairytales, Layla Barringer has lived her life with a wild streak of her own. Moving to Los Angeles to be closer to her sister, her rebellion is put to the test during a chance encounter with Ryan. Knowing about his revolving door of women, she decides to enjoy one night with no strings attached. 

When personal tragedy strikes, they are left with only two options. Aware of their growing attraction to each other, will they work together and face adversity head on or will fear and heartbreak send them running in opposite directions? 

Taming the Playboy is the second book in the Moretti Novels by author, MJ Carnal.


Something Great by M. Clarke

* This is a New Adult romance novel recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter. 

She didn't know what she was missing...until he found her. 

Maxwell Knight was dangerously good-looking, seductively charming, and definitely 
trouble. He was everything Jeanella Mefferd did NOT need now. 

Fresh out of college, life was predictable and comfortable for Jeanella. She had the 
strength of her friends, the security of her job, and she was dating a reliable 
man; it was all smooth sailing. That was until one night, when she met someone 
who made her feel things she'd never felt before--dangerous, heart pounding, 
breathless heat. Never imagining she would see him again, Jeanella has no idea what to do when fate steps in and thrusts Maxwell Knight into her life, just as things were 
beginning to change around her. When she lands her dream job and travels to New 
York for Fashion Week, can she focus on her career instead of on Maxwell? 

Will she ignore all the danger signs and jump straight into his arms; or would she 
miss out on the chance of finding something great?


Scarred by JS Cooper

Sometimes the deepest scars are the ones you don't see. 

Everyone in Jonesville thought that Bryce Evans had the perfect life in High School: he was the Mayor’s son, the quarterback for the football team, the boyfriend of the head cheerleader and had a 4.1 GPA. His acceptance to Notre Dame came as no surprise but when he chose to enlist in the marines instead everyone was shocked. 

Lexi Lord was the quiet girl in school and kept to her small group of eccentric friends. She had no connection to any of the popular kids except for one incident on Prom Night when her path crossed with Bryce’s. 
When Bryce enlisted Lexi was the only one that wasn’t disappointed and decided to send him anonymous letters as a way to feel connected to him. She stopped after a year because she felt there was nowhere for their relationship to go. 

Fast-forward four years and Bryce is back in Jonesville and once again he and Lexi cross paths. Only he’s no longer the seemingly perfect man and Lexi’s no longer the quiet girl. 

This time their relationship is quite different but both of them have secrets from the past and friends that threaten to ruin their chance at happiness together. 

New Adult Contemporary Romance **Mature Content** Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations and language.

For a time, many years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end ... love was lost. The decision to leave had been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made. However, at the time--ten years ago--she felt her secret needed to stay hidden, even if it broke her heart and the heart of the man she loved. Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn't the same guy she knew.

He happens to be the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt 'The Destroyer' Reynolds, who once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by him but left and never looked back.

Their second chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won't stop until Matt and Shelby pay the ultimate price ... their love.

Beautiful Rose by Missy Johnson

**This book contains heavy themes suitable for a mature audience only** 

Jack Falcon is a new man. Three years after he left his life behind in London, Jack finally feels settled. He’s surrounded with everything that is important to him; a great relationship with his brother, Alex, a bar he is about to re-open, and most importantly, he has control of his life and his dreams. He knows he can’t undo the wrongs of his past, but he sure as hell can determine his future. He has worked hard to move forward and nothing is going to undo that. 

Until he meets Rose. 
Rose Wilson has never felt normal. Since she was a child, Rose has felt nothing but the overwhelming desire to end her life and she has no idea why. We live to die, so what’s the point in living? Rose has pushed the limits in the past, and pushed people away. She can’t figure out why Jack and Alex are so insistent on helping her. Twelve years of therapy has failed to help her, so why should they be any different? 
Jack sees just how beautiful and important Rose is, but convincing her of that means putting his heart on the line, something he isn’t sure he can do. He can’t deny his feeling for Rose, but that doesn’t mean he has to act on them. And Jack isn’t the only one developing feelings for Rose. 

Before Rose, Jack vowed he would never let himself fall in love again. 

Before Rose, he had control. 

But sometimes, it’s losing control that makes you really see what’s really important in your life.

They'd kept in touch for a year, but once Jake was deployed to Afghanistan, he'd cut off contact suddenly and she'd never heard from him again. For the past three years Livie has kept herself distracted with homework and her university studies, but now Jake's going to be up close and personal. And Livie can’t decide if tonight's finally the night to prove to Jake she’s all grown up or the night she should let him go forever.

Redesigned by Denise Grover Swank

Then she meets mathematics grad student Reed Pendergraft. 

Reed is everything she’s not looking for. Serious. Headed for a low paying university job. Boring. Caroline spent the first eighteen years of her life wondering where her next meal was coming from. She sure wasn’t getting trapped in that life again with a man living on a professor’s salary. 

An encounter with Reed in a club proves she might have pegged him wrong. He brings out a lusty side she never knew she had. But just when she’s about to give in to her hormones, Reed makes a fool out of her. 

When she shows up for the first committee meeting for Southern University’s Fall fashion show, a fundraiser for underprivileged kids, Caroline’s horrified to discover the insufferable Reed is the committee chairman. While she refuses to tolerate his totalitarian rule of the committee, she’s not sure she’ll survive the month with her heart—and her pride—intact. Just when she thinks she has everything figured out, she finds that her entire life has been redesigned, thanks to Reed Pendergraft.

Fall by Rachel Van Dyken

If you look up British in the dictionary…A-list celebrity Jamie Jaymeson’s name would be next to it. Along with charming, witty, man-whore, and a lot of other adjectives that he wouldn’t appreciate being attached to his name. 
He has everything in the world going for him. 
Until fate decides his number’s finally up. 
Caught in a compromising position that really wasn’t his fault to begin with (really it wasn’t)—Jaymeson’s been told by his agent to lay low in the one town he swore he’d never return to—the seventh circle of hell, known by its residents as Seaside, Oregon. 
Two months? He can do anything for two months. Especially if it means getting a part in the new book-to-movie series that has girls all over the world swooning. 
Play nice? Keep it in his pants? Please. He played an alien once—he was going to totally rock it. 
Until a certain someone who he may or may not have publicly humiliated—rejected, then humiliated again, suddenly pops up next door. 
Self control has a way of flying out the window when the one girl you can’t have—is suddenly dangled right in front of you. 
But Priscilla isn’t just off limits—she’s a pastor's daughter and barely legal to boot. So Jaymeson does the one thing he swore he’d never do—he tries to be friends. With a woman. 
Only, it’s exactly what he needs. 
Until suddenly, he craves more. 
He wants to date her. 
She wants to date someone else. 
He wants to kiss her. 
She asks him to give her lessons for her new boyfriend. 
When opposites attract, sometimes the only option you have is to leap—and trust the fact that when you fall—that special someone falls too.
