My instincts had always served me well.
Listening to my gut, the warning voice in my head that told me when to walk away.
I never failed to heed the signs.
Until the day she walked into my office.
I knew she would be trouble, but I ignored the alarm bells.
And then it was too late, and I fell. Hard.
A lie tore us apart, and I thought I'd lost her forever.
But now she's back—with a secret she's been keeping.
This time, I'm not letting her go.

The princess and a dead man.
They say money makes the world go round. They’d be wrong. Sure, power can be bought, but you can gain a hell of a lot more with knowledge. With knowledge comes fear. I’ve seen it. I’ve caused it. I’ve even been the brunt of it. But when a stowaway princess barrels into my life like a runaway train, I throw patience out the window—the same one I jump out of, taking her with me. Now I’ve got more problems than any contract killer deserves. That includes Aliyah Zahir—an internationally coveted socialite, a true royal, and a social media sensation. Returning to the lion’s den, she ends up in harm’s way—all for a mirage. She’s chasing a ghost. But instead, she finds a dead man. I’m done being patient. It’s my turn to administer fear for a change, and no one is better equipped to fix Liyah’s problems than me. And I’m never giving her back.
The Final Play by Amie Knight
Available February 3
The Final Play isn’t always the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something far more beautiful. As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football. The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes. The most recent of which landed him behind bars. So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby. Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time. But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently. I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved. But if football was my church, then Glory was my heaven.

Rio
In the midst of my childhood hell, Bryn Wallace had been the one bright spot. She had been the only good thing about the neglected trailer park my momma had moved us to. She had given me a reason to smile every day. I never got a chance to tell her goodbye. After finding my mother’s dead body, my grandparents picked me up and my new life in The Shores, Alabama had begun.
Seeing her now, seven years later, my memories of the beautiful girl I’d once have done anything for were destroyed by the disappointment she had become. The darkness from her youth had changed her.
Bryn
The one thing that I held onto was knowing I would find Rio March one day. My sister had once again gotten us forced out of town, after sleeping with the local minister and turning everyone in the community against us. Since it was me who had been working overtime and putting back money, I chose where we would move this time. However, all those day dreams of when I saw Rio again were shattered. Within two weeks of arriving in the Shores, Rio hated me and made sure everyone else in town did too. I couldn’t even take my nephew into the candy store.
It didn’t seem to matter where we moved, this would always be our outcome. Hated, looked down upon, and judged for sins I hadn’t committed. I was done moving. The trashy Wallace girls were in town to stay.

One impulsive, passionate week changed my life. And I can’t stop thinking about it…or him.
The hot Italian with the full lips and inked skin. The passionate man who made me feel incredible until I realized it was all a sham.
Because he lied. About his name. About everything.
Now, I’m not only pregnant with his child but thrust into the spotlight. Because my vacation fling, my baby daddy, is an international soccer superstar.
He wants a second chance, but I’m concerned that he’s as much of a player off the field as he is on it.

Tyler Bennett and I hate each other.
The annoying jerk my parents forced me to play with as a kid grew up to be a sexy, grumpy baker who still can’t stand me. Sure, maybe I enjoy our bitter banter, his cocky smirk, his chocolate chip cookies. But there’s a reason I can’t play nice.
You’re wondering why—if I hate the guy so much—did I agree to be his fake date to his cousin’s wedding? Look. Just because I love being a pain in the man’s well-formed butt doesn’t mean I want someone else torturing him. Especially not the ex-fiancée who left him for his best friend.
One night of faking it takes an unexpected turn. Heated glances, lingering touches, that arrogant mouth against mine. One night of getting swept away in an attraction that maybe isn’t so one-sided after all.
Aside from this new, tentative friendship laced with sexual tension, something else has grown out of that night.
And Tyler and I will have to figure it all out…in about nine months.
Author’s note: Just One Favor is an enemies-to-lovers standalone romance with a hot side of longing, sexually-charged banter, a broken hotel bed, and chocolate cream pie.
