	Final Serenade
	The Encore #1

	December 1st 2020

A secret affair with your teenage celebrity crush? Yes, please!

Music journalist Cassy Evans believes her career is made when she snags an exclusive interview with rock singer Frankie Blade.

Once a superstar of the generation, Frankie has been a recluse since a freak motorcycle incident sent his career into a tailspin seven years ago. Now that he’s returned to claim back his crown, Cassy hopes to kill two birds with one stone—secure her magazine a top spot in the rankings and meet with the man of her adolescent dreams.

A dinner invitation isn’t what she expects to get out of this interview, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

With paparazzi watching Frankie’s every move as the two jump into a stormy relationship, Cassy risks her career and her privacy—and possibly her heart—to be with the biggest rockstar on the planet. But is Frankie worth it? Is he the humble man she thinks he is or is he just that good at hiding his demons?

Final Serenade is the first installment in “The Encore” series. Cassy and Frankie’s story concludes in One Last Verse.

	Fragile
	Rock Stars & Romance #1
	A. K. Evans
	September 7th 2021

As the lead singer of a wildly popular industrial rock band, Cash Morris has never had to work too hard when it comes to women. They’re all falling at his feet before he even opens his mouth.

So when he walks into a small-town New Hampshire hotel and spots the manager, he expects her to do the same. Only, she doesn’t, and that leaves him intrigued.

Demi Stokes has seen enough deception to last a lifetime and has written off the possibility of ever getting serious with someone for good.

Cash, the rock star with killer good looks, an incredible voice, and playboy ways is the very definition of what she intends to steer clear of.

But Cash is used to getting what he wants. And he’s never wanted something as badly as he wants Demi. If he’s ever going to have a chance with her, he’s going to have to prove that he has every intention of protecting her fragile heart.

	One Last Verse
	The Encore #2
	N. N. Britt
	December 1st 2020

Promises will be broken. Love will be tested.

Cassy Evans knows a thing or two about secrets. By juggling work and a hidden relationship with the world’s biggest rock star for months, she’s become an expert.

However, being with Frank comes at a price. Seven years after the accident that almost ended everything, his trauma still haunts him. Determined to get back on stage, the man known to the world as Frankie Blade would do anything to ensure the success of his band’s reunion. But when one rash decision puts his entire career on the line, it’s not clear if he can recover from it.

As Frank spirals out of control, pushing Cassy away, she has to face the reality of what they’ve become. He’s harder to love than she imagined. Her common sense tells her severing all ties with him is the right choice.

Problem is, she can’t leave without her heart. And Frank doesn’t want to give it back.

One Last Verse is the conclusion of Frankie and Cassy’s story. It should be read after Final Serenade.

	Secrets Nights
	A Billionaire On Vacation
	A. M. Hargrove
	January 24th 2019

They both had secrets dirty enough to tear them apart …

Our tale began when I saved a mysterious woman from a terrifying fate.
Frozen in shock and unable to walk, I carried her to my place to help her recover.
When I removed her coat, I had to shield my reaction over how she was scantily dressed.
She surprised me further when she crawled into my bed and asked to spend the night.
Soon, I was wrapped in a steamy affair with someone I knew almost nothing about.
Skylar’s stunning beauty was marred by shadows she tried to hide.
I was desperate to learn what caused her such pain.
Only how could I intrude on her secrets when I had plenty of my own?
My story was deeply buried and I had no desire for it surface.
In the warmth of her arms, I found ways to overcome my own pain.
Every night, my body and soul yearned for her.
She’d return only to be gone before I’d awaken.
I feared if she ever discovered the real me, I’d never see her again.
Except something else happened.
I uncovered her secret life … the reason behind her provocative attire.
My reaction was something I greatly regretted.
That’s the day I learned something new about myself.
If you wanted something badly enough, you’d do anything to get it, no matter the risk.
But aren’t most things in life’s a risk?
I was positive I wanted to be Skylar’s.
And this time I’d stop at nothing to get what I wanted.
Skylar.

*Please note: This book was previously published as Dirty Nights, The Novel. The title and cover have been changed and the novel itself has undergone changes and editing.

This is a full-length, stand alone, second chances, new adult contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author, A.M. Hargrove. It is raw, gritty, and full of angst.

	October 26th 2019

A best friends-to-lovers, stand-alone romance from New York Times Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson . . .

Evan Bryant wasn’t your typical hero.
But he was mine.
Broken by the worlds’ standards, he was still the strongest boy I would ever know.
My best friend. The boy I’d given everything to. My heart, my body, and the promise of forever.
The day I’d needed him most, he walked away.
He left me shattered and questioning the love I’d thought we’d shared.

Three years later, I wasn’t prepared for him to return to Gingham Lakes.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he wasn’t the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.
My fingers still would have ached to caress his skin.
My body still would have begged to get lost in his touch.
And my heart . . . it would have always sung his name.
But time changes things. With it, secrets that could ruin everything.
Can we find a way to love again, or have the fears of our past stolen the hope of our forever . . .

Jace –

For three months, I searched her out.
For him.
Everything I have done before meeting her has been for him.
Everything I have done after is for her.
Perhaps it is all Fate’s plan.
Whatever it is, I can’t let her go.
I don’t know how.

Evelyn –

There’s no such thing as fate. Or coincidence.
My meeting Jace isn’t a coincidence, nor is it at fate’s hand.
It was him.
I became defenseless in his eyes. I became someone I hadn’t been in six long years, someone I was happy to be once more.
I showed him all of my soft parts, thinking he was strong enough to protect it—protect me from the world.
Am I wrong?

	Strung
	The Everyday Heroes World
	Victoria Ashley
	December 2018

Micah Beck is tempting, talented, and addictive to the last drop.

Not to mention, he’s completely confident in all that he does. Especially with those fingers and I can’t deny that it’s such a turn-on.

Micah is the last thing I expect to find wandering around my brother’s beach house, naked, only wearing an acoustic guitar, but he’s the first thing that has ever had me craving for just one ‘anything goes’ night.

My plan was to come to visit my brother for the summer and hopefully find a little inspiration for my book at my brother’s bar on the beach.

A little inspiration is more than what I get slapped with.

Talk about wanting to make love to a voice. I never knew exactly what that meant until I heard Micah playing at Vortex, but now just the thought of anything that has to do with that man’s tongue, leaves my whole body vibrating with a hunger I’m not sure I can fight.

Just one taste. One night. No strings.

I’m a liar if I said I thought that would be possible because if I thought his guitar playing abilities were hot, seeing him in charge, demanding orders at Vortex has me completely coming undone and about ready to fall at his feet and give him anything he desires, despite the fact that my brother warned us to stay away from each other.

He’s a master at getting whatever he wants with little or no effort at all and I can’t help but to hope he wants me.

Micah is cocky with a body that screams trouble with every rock-hard muscle.

He’s wrong in every way and…

I’m completely strung.

	The Everyday Heroes World

	May 12th 2022

This book is a one-night-stand, accidental pregnancy, workplace contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

Jace Hollaway is an ER doctor returning to Sunnyville after years away. He’s fresh off a bad breakup, so he’s not looking for a new relationship. Even after he meets the beautiful-yet-geeky Elissa Albers, he’s intent on maintaining his bachelorhood, so they develop a friendship instead—until they give in to one wild night of passion.

Elissa is a medical lab specialist caring for her ailing mother. When she learns she’s pregnant from a one-night stand with her co-worker, she has to figure out how she can add a baby—and maybe even a boyfriend—to her already complicated life.

Two reluctant lovers must face the consequences of their one-night stand. Life isn’t always easy, but can love heal deep wounds? With tough decisions to make, can Jace and Elissa find happiness with each other and hope for their future?
