Spotlight: The Grump by Layla Hagen

Release Date: December 6

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED

I love my job. So when a grumpy grouch wants to shut us down, I’m ready for the fight of my life.

I was heading for serious career burnout until my dream job came true. Making pralines for a living has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. So it comes as quite a shock when I find out that the owner wants to shut down the LeBlanc-Broussard confectionery because it’s not profitable.

My hope is that I can win him over. Once he realizes how integral the confectionery is to the city, to the very makeup of New Orleans he’s bound to agree, right?

Wrong.

Xander LeBlanc is a grump, and it’s questionable whether he has a heart at all! Though I’m ashamed to admit I was blindsided by how hot he is — definitely a 10+. Unfortunately, his personality is a zero. All he’s concerned about are profits and not the charitable work the business is known for.

But suddenly, Xander begins to show up at various events we sponsor. When he arrives at the children’s hospital where I hand out treats during the holiday season, I see an entirely new side to him when he starts playing The Grinch for the kids! When he takes me home later that evening things between us escalate. He confesses that he's been attracted to me from day one and let’s just say, the man has hot skills in bed.

But the inevitable closing of the confectionary still weighs heavy on my mind and I don’t know if I can separate the two. Can I love a man who wants to take away the only joy I have in life? But the bigger question is…

Can I melt the ice around his heart and find my way inside it for longer than a few nights?

Spotlight: Loving the CEO by Layla Hagen

Release Date: October 4 

Available in Kindle Unlimited!

Leo Whitley's story is a steamy friends-to-lovers romance. It can be read as a standalone.

When I find out on my wedding day that my fiancé is cheating on me, my whole world comes crashing down.

The only bright spot?

My best friend Leo is by my side every step of the way, offering his unconditional support — including a temporary getaway, which I so badly need right now.

Once in Boston, he invites me to stay with him until I get back on my feet. Temporarily, of course.

And I don’t even think twice before agreeing.

But I quickly question if this was the right thing to do.

Did I forget to mention Leo is the hottest man on the planet?

And now his hotness is front and center, as there’s plenty of opportunities to spy on those sexy muscles when he works out in his home gym...or when he gets out of the shower.

Then the oddest thing happens… Leo offers to be my dating coach to ‘help me get back into the game’.

On our first night out, I break out in goosebumps at the lightest touch or seductive smile. And when we get back to his place, well, we take the coaching a little too far and I have the hottest night of my life.

The question is, am I willing to risk my friendship with him for something more? Especially when I’m not even sure I’m ready for anything at all…

Spotlight: The Charmer by Layla Hagen

Release Date: August 9

Julian Leblanc's story is a sizzling fake relationship romance set in the heart of New Orleans.

She’s too damn hot, but also rude and unprofessional... yet that doesn’t stop me from becoming her fake boyfriend.

I pride myself on never doubting my decisions. It’s why my business runs so smoothly. But when a disgruntled supplier tracks me down, and I discover that she lost business because of me, I’m determined to make things right.

First step—I invite Georgie to a Mardi Gras party, to wave the proverbial white flag. Only her asshole of an ex shows up, insulting her. All my protective instincts kick in and I kiss her on the spot. That shuts him up. The only problem is, once I have a taste, I crave more.

So I proposition to be her fake boyfriend. My excuse? I’ll help her get her clients back by taking her to elite parties around New Orleans. But this fake dating becomes addictive. Suddenly a kiss is not enough; a touch is only the beginning and Georgie is captivating me in a way no one ever did.

Then one evening at midnight, all masks come off. And so do our reasons for pretending.

I desperately want her, but I’m not the settle-down-type-of-guy, and Georgie deserves that. With her, I’ve become the man I never thought I ever could be. Our passion is real. But can we have more?

Spotlight: The Flirt by Layla Hagen

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. Any free time I have I spend with my daughter, Bella — reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old.

But I’m okay with that because she is my whole world.

After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter. Scarlett Jones is unlike any woman I’d ever met. She’s smart and beautiful and I can’t get enough of her.

For more reasons than one, I need to keep my distance. So when I begin flirting… surprising her with beignets and coffee at break time, then king cake after hours, I know I’ve gone too far. And when I join Scarlett on a ridiculous haunted tour of the city, I’m certain I’ve lost my mind. She’s become my addiction. I want to explore those curves, find out her deepest desires—and make them come true.

But it’s when she offers to teach my daughter how to bake, I know I’m in wayyyyy over my head. When the three of us are together, I get a glimpse of the family we could be.
The question is, are we both ready to put our fears behind us?

And to think, it all started with a little flirt.

Spotlight: Enchanting the CEO by Layla Hagen

Release Date: January 26

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED

She’s a white-picket-fence kind of girl, but I only do casual. My first mistake? Asking her to be my roommate.

Gabe

When someone’s down on their luck, I like to help out. Diane needed a place to stay, and my attic was empty. How hard could it be to have a temporary roommate?

It turns out—very hard.

Living with her is turning out to be physically impossible. Every time she saunters through the living room, I can’t help but want her. Whenever she gives me sass, I fantasize about kissing that mouth until she begs for more.

But she is my employee’s sister and that is a line I can’t cross…or can I?

Diane

At first I was a little leery about accepting Gabe’s offer, because he’s my sister’s boss. But Gabe is the best. He’s not only generous and fun (and hot!), but also considerate.

One night after dinner in the city he does the gentlemanly thing and walks me to my door — only, I manage to stumble, rip my dress and flash him my various lady parts.

It’s a full-on disaster! Or so I think.

The man gives me the hottest kiss of my life— toe curling, sparks-flying, panty-melting hot. Even though I’ve just been through the break-up from hell, I can’t resist his charms.

But I don’t want to embarrass my sister by getting involved with Gabe. Besides, he and I want different things in life.

Just this once, though, I’d love to throw caution to the wind…

Spotlight: Cherish Me Forever by Layla Hagen

Reese Maxwell meets her happy-ever-after in Layla Hagen's newest. What starts as a pretend romance soon turns into so much more...

Newly divorced Dominic Waldorf is the most coveted bachelor in Chicago. At least, that's what he thinks. I'd describe him as more of a Neanderthal with a really nice backside.

When I accidentally spill champagne on him at a charity event, he accuses me of hitting on him. Then later, I run into him in an empty coat room, and he's convinced.

The truth is even more embarrassing.

I'm hiding from my ex-fiancé, who showed up with his new wife—my former best friend. I try to hold it together, but instead spill my guts to this handsome stranger.

Dom surprises me by suggesting an agreement: we pretend to date. I get to rub it in my ex's face and he appears off the 'market'. You scratch my back—I scratch yours, that sort of thing.

Dom is an excellent fake boyfriend. He's protective and caring, and even gives me a smoking hot kiss.

Then things get complicated. The charity has another event for us to attend —out of town, and overnight.

Between late night confessions and three more smoking hot kisses—not that I'm counting—I start wondering if he's really faking everything.

I'm certainly way past pretending.

Soon after, Dom admits that he wants to date me… me, Reese Maxwell, for real!

But my heart isn't allowed to make any decisions anymore.

Except — maybe — this one last time…
