The Rocker
That Holds Me by Terri Anne Browning {ebook}
Touring with four rockers is the thing of
dreams…
At least that is what people tell me. To me those four rockers are my family. They have watched over me from the time I was five years old. Protecting me from my mother and her drunken, drug addict rages. When they made it big they still watched over me. And when my monster of a mother died they took over as my guardians.
In the six years since that happened I have watched over the four men that mean everything to me. I take care of them just as they once took care of me. I handle all the dirty work behind the scenes of a rockers life. It isn’t always pretty. At times it came be damn near disgusting, especially when I have to get rid of their one night stands. Ugh!

Taking
care of them doesn’t bother me though. I mean it’s not like I’m in love with
one of them. That would be crazy. Falling for a rocker is NOT smart.
Okay, so I’m not smart. I love my guys, and one of them kind of holds my heart in his big old rocker hand. But I’m dealing. I’ve been able to keep it my little secret for years now.

I’m not, however, dealing with this bug that I
seem to have caught. It scares the hell out of me. I hate doctors, but I’m
suddenly more worried about finding out what is wrong with me than what the
doctor might do to me.
When
I get my test results back my life will never be the same again…

Worth
Everything (Worth It#4) by Karen Ericson {ebook}
Can two lost souls find their way to love?
Anastasia Renaldi’s life is a complete lie. Disinherited from the family fashion-accessory business and informed she’s the illegitimate daughter of the famous—and long-dead—Michael Worth of Worth Luxury, she has no one to turn to. No real family, no job, no identity to claim. Lost and confused, she turns to the one man who can help her obtain what is rightfully hers.
Attorney Gavin Westmore is hired to discover the truth. Does Stasia Renaldi have a stake to claim in the Worth empire? From the moment he meets her, Gavin knows what sort of woman Stasia is. Calculating, devious—she won’t let anything or anyone get in the way of her pursuit of a fortune. As long as he can collect his generous fee, he’s fine with it.
But Gavin soon discovers his perception of Stasia is wrong. She truly is confused, a sweet, ambitious woman who wants what rightfully belongs to her. Soon they’re spending lots of time together—and it goes beyond the attorney/client type meetings. The only question is, after untangling the web of lies to get to the truth, whether there will be any room left for love.

Release Me (Stark Trilogy #1) by J. Kenner {ebook}
He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the
one man I couldn’t resist.
Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.
Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart.
But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.

Reaper by L.S. Murphy {ebook}
There's no way sixteen year old Quincy Amarante will become
the fifth grim reaper. None. Not over her shiny blue Mustang. Her Jimmy Choos.
Or her dead body.
She’s supposed to enjoy her sophomore year, not learn about some freaky future Destiny says she has no choice but to fulfill.
It doesn’t take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.

It doesn’t take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.
Like
when she’s reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best
friend Ben Moorland, who’s returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably.
Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy’s goes down like the Titanic.
Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy’s goes down like the Titanic.
Maybe ... just maybe ... that’s okay.
It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn’t
just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy’s
priorities—from who she thinks she wants to be to who she really is.

Asking For
It by Alyssa Kress {ebook}
What happens when Mr. No-Good meets Ms. Do-Good?
Griffith Blaine is a workaholic land developer who believes money is the ticket to happiness. But in his scrapping over a deal, the fighting gets dirtier than usual and Griffith ends up kidnapped and then stranded on a mountain right above the land he wants to develop.
Kate Darby is a dedicated camp director desperate for a body over the age of eighteen to keep her camp legally open. When Griffith wanders into her camp dining hall, bruised, tattered ‑‑ and arrogant, Kate rationalizes the smooth-talking businessman can afford to take two weeks out of his life to help those less fortunate than himself. Stunned, Griffith rationalizes using any means possible to escape, including seducing the prickly Kate.
While Kate underestimates the ability of one charismatic man to wiggle through her emotional defenses, Griffith doesn’t take into account the power of fifty boys ‑‑ and one good woman ‑‑ to change his entire life outlook.

Working on
a Full House by Alyssa Kress {ebook}
Can ‘one night only’ become ‘until death do us
part?’
Sensible pediatrician Valerie Kendrick would never dream of marrying a rootless gambler she meets at a bar in Las Vegas. But spending one night in the arms of this fascinating stranger is a fantasy too tempting to resist. For one night, she can pretend to be a femme fatale.

Only after Valerie returns, and reluctantly admits she’s pregnant, does Roy know what will finally fill the lonely hole in his life: becoming a father. He’ll have to play his best hand ever, though, to get the skittish Valerie to include him in the game.

Echo by Alicia Wright Brewster
The
countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are
organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is . . .
no one knows for sure how it will end.
Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.
Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.
