RULE #1: Do not catch feelings for the man who doesn't believe in love. An Armored Heart by RC Boldt is now live! Four months. That's how long I'll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend. I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his "social circle" to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex. Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth. Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

After all, he's the man with an armored heart. ***5 ‘Team Ella’ Stars*** This book gave me everything my reading loving heart loves in a romance. Amazing characters ~ all of them, even the ones I want to throat pun...

Can’t Fight It, an all-new friends to lovers college romance from Allie Winters, is now available in Kindle Unlimited! Mousy bookworm. Psychology nerd. The kind of girl who constantly sticks her foot in her mouth. The last thing I am is the type to attract the intimidating, motorcycle-riding guy in the apartment next door. Especially when that mouth of mine gets me in trouble and he overhears me talk smack about him… So no one’s more surprised than me when he shows up as a participant in the psych study I’m running on campus. Or when he generously offers me some much-needed self-defense lessons. Or when we grow closer than I thought possible. It turns out some people aren’t at all what they seem at first glance. They can actually be everything you never knew you wanted in a man. The thing is, Austin Langford is so far out of my league, it’s laughable. Muscled boxers don’t go for nobodies like me. I need to forget about this one-sided attraction. Even when i...
