Weddings are big business in picturesque Sweetheart, California, and Something Borrowed’s rent-a-bridesmaid service is thriving among the Hollywood elite. For the women who work there, a walk down the aisle is just a paycheck—until the right guy makes it priceless . . . RULE #1: GROOMSMEN ARE STRICTLY OFF LIMITS Marley Stevenson never imagined her stint as a rented Maid of Honor would practically become a career. Then again, nothing in her life has gone according to plan. At least the money’s good—and she needs it to pay off student loans and help out her mom. But the job has rules, which have never been an issue . . . until one encounter with a gorgeous best man—and his swoon-worthy Southern accent—sends Marley reeling. Determined to get through the weekend with her professional reputation intact, Marley grits her teeth and sends out her best “unavailable” vibes, but Luke Jessup doesn’t give up that easy. A former Marine and a current SWAT team officer, his focus is legendary—and it’s on Marley. Jeopardizing her job is bad enough, and starting a relationship based on half-truths is worse—yet Marley is beginning to wonder if certain risks are worth taking, especially in the name of true love . . . “Flirty, fun, and fabulous!” —Bestselling author Candis Terry “Fun, lighthearted, and full of emotion.

Lambs will become Lions… Robin Hood is retired. He’s lived his life of thievery and adventure and he’s ready to settle down in the Enchanted Forest for good. No one can bother him anymore. Not the merry men. Not the rich idiots angry he stole from them. Nothing and no one. Until a woman steps from a magic portal and threatens him with a blade. Jill Morris has spent years trying to escape her prison in the Underworld, and when an opportunity comes, she takes it. She certainly didn’t expect to find herself back in the Enchanted Forest so different from when she left. Nor did she expect the man who refuses to help her stop the flow of demons that follows. When strangers appear and request her help, she can’t decline despite having her own problems. Her home is in trouble and the evil spreading must be stopped. The rot is taking over. The Followers of the Crimson Merge are rising. The Piper is leaving chaos everywhere he goes. Hades is sending death threats and love letters. There’s no other option for Jill than to face each problem head on. Now if only she can convince Robin Hood to come out of retirement and steal one last time. . . If you like Sarah J Maas, Gena Showalter, J.R. Ward, Laura Thalassa, or Jennifer L. Armentrout, you won’t be able to put down this highly addictive twisted fairy tale.
