Stuttering Heart by Annie Day

Stuttering Heart by Annie Day

Matt has never had a way with words. A debilitating stutter has plagued him his entire life, causing him to shy away from social situations. After the unexpected death of his brother, Matt stops fighting his anxiety and withdraws from the world. He moves into his brother’s house, hoping that the place will help him stay connected to the one person that saw him for more than just the way he spoke.

Matt has long since given up on finding love and intimacy. He has come to terms with the fact that his stutter and social anxiety are not qualities that women look for in a man. To make matters worse, his anxiety around beautiful women makes his stutter so bad that he can barely force a word out. He could have never anticipated meeting a woman like his new neighbor, Taylor Pierce. The stunning woman looks at him like he isn’t broken, something that he thought could only happen in his fantasies. Around Taylor, Matt finally feels like he might have a chance for something more than the isolated world he has created for himself.

Taylor has completely given up on her social life. Her spirit is slowly being crushed under the weight of her crippling student loan debt, and for the past two years, she has had to work close to eighty-hour weeks to stay financially afloat. Her busy schedule hasn’t left her any time for love, even just the kind that only lasts one night. She has finally had enough of her self-induced celibacy. But she barely has enough time to sleep, so how is she supposed to find the perfect hook-up? She turns her eyes to her shy, mysterious neighbor whose good looks could rival those of a Norse God.

Will she be able to convince silent Matt to come out of his shell? Thankfully, luck is on her side (or much more likely, her dyscalculia). When a mislabeled package forces Matt to knock on her door, Taylor is ready to take whatever chance she can get. But will it be enough to convince Matt to put his Stuttering Heart on the line?

Lacey Winters had a perfectly plotted life.

Then, she had the most toe-curling dream ever—only it wasn’t a dream. And the blurred image of the charming, hot guy she once considered a figment of her imagination, just became the poster boy of her worst nightmare when she finds herself pregnant with no clue who the man is.

The reason for her foggy memory? A case of transient amnesia brought on by… well… only the most mind-blowing… she’d rather not say.

Nonetheless, her boss is not having it. Terrified of unemployment and with her ten-year plan up in smoke, Lacey does what any woman with more brains than curves would do. She announces her co-worker Zak Cooper is her fake husband, then begs him to play along—just until the private investigator can give her answers.

A set of unforeseen circumstances.

Fake kisses turned all too real.

And now she’s torn between a man she’s falling for and an unreliable list of potential fathers. With the delivery soon approaching, she must decide if life is better lived or planned.

The It Girl Wears an XL by Nara Noelle

The It Girl Wears an XL by Nara Noelle

The best part of becoming an overnight sensation? Meeting my celebrity crush. And the worst part? The mess that followed.

Bea
I told myself I was beautiful in my own way.
No matter how many ads for diet products and cosmetics procedures I was bombarded with.
Then one day, the world suddenly agreed with me.
I went from being an ordinary, underachieving college student to a television personality.
It was a smooth transition.
Until I met the boy who changed everything.

Taek
Money, fame and popularity—great stuff to have, except when it’s all you’ve got.
A part of me died when I was thirteen.
I’ve been trapped in a tunnel without a light ever since.
Although I put on a smile and sang songs about love, dark lyrics consumed my mind.
There was no way I could open up to anyone.
Until I met the girl who changed everything.

What began as a series of misunderstandings catapults into urgent need, as Gin finds herself forced to make an impossible choice, staying faithful to memories of the past or living for the future.
I’m not who I used to be.

Losing them turned me into someone I don’t even recognize. I’m not even sure I want to know that person.
So I ran.
But that was just a change in longitude and latitude.
When I met Roman, my insides were a twisted, decayed, knife-edged thing I was sure no one would ever want.
But he took every crushed bit of it and demanded more.
He’s as scarred on the outside as I am on the inside, but somehow, we fit together like two jagged pieces of the same fractured puzzle. Our tortured pasts brought us together—then ripped us apart.
Falling for him was inevitable. So was losing him.
Girl meets boy, girl loses boy, but maybe…girl gets nothing at the end.
Happily ever after just isn’t meant for people like me…right?

A Brush With Fame by Melinda Hazen

A Brush With Fame by Melinda Hazen

What if by chance you met a famous person? And he wanted you…

On Monday, I showed up to the movie set bright and early for a one-day sub position on a blockbuster sequel. It was crucial to prove myself as a fantastic makeup artist so that I might break into the Hollywood scene.

I was waiting on the actor assigned to me to finish up a candy bar—and wondering why I got stuck with the obnoxious one. Then suddenly, I saw him standing in the doorway. Evan Hutchinson. Never mind that I’d already fallen into his lap when someone knocked into me earlier. We’d gotten past that. But why did the movie’s famous British heartthrob request me to touch him up? Either way, I did, of course. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to touch his face—but with a makeup brush? What I didn’t expect was for him to talk to me—to borderline flirt with me.

Once I was home and talking on the phone with my long-distance boyfriend about nothing important, the call came. For some reason, Evan Hutchinson requested me to finish out the movie as his personal makeup artist. Before nearly dropping the phone from shock, I’d accepted.

It’s now Wednesday night, and the other actors have left. For some reason, Evan asked me to stay longer. We were completely alone in his apartment and seated on his couch. Somehow, we ended up discussing what it’s like to do a movie kiss with someone you aren’t romantically involved with.

When I’d finally left to go home, I rolled my car’s window down to say good night. Then the craziest thing of the past three days happened—Evan offered to show me what a kiss is like. And he suggested I let him know if I’d ever like him to practice with me.

Now I don’t know what to do because I can’t stop thinking about Evan Hutchinson kissing me…

*** This is a contemporary romance/new adult stand-alone novel. No cliffhanger. It contains moderate steam and sensitive subject matter. Recommended for 18+.

Discounted from $2.99 to $0.99 through 4/11/20.
