Atonement by Tori Fox
From the moment I laid eyes on Cameron Wilder, I knew I had to have her.
I hired her to fix the image of my company.
Making her off limits.
I could ruin her.
Yet it doesn’t stop me.
I’m an asshole.
A bastard.
A tyrant.
She’s a saint.
A free spirit.
Innocent.
One touch captivated me.
One kiss wrecked me.
And every argument we have has me ready to crawl on my knees for her.
I feed her lies to keep her safe.
Because my secrets will destroy her.
Break her.
Kill her.
I’m a dangerous man.
To keep her would put her in peril.
But like the devil I am, I can’t let her go.

He’s reckless. She’s forbidden.
And he’s done caring that she’s the enemy.

When a teammate is captured and the enemy predicts their every move, it’s clear they’ve got a mole. The bosses task Zy with discovering their traitor, and all clues point to the woman he’s losing his heart to. With danger lurking, he’s caught in a tangle of unquenched need and searing betrayal. Will their love be the greatest casualty of all?
The Rest of Me by Ashley Munoz
💗 NEW RELEASE / REVIEW 💗
Death never simply settles for the life it claims.
It’s greedy.
It stole all of our lives that night and while it put my husband in the ground, it left my four children and me behind.
After an ugly year of grief, something had to change.
My sister suggested open spaces, big skies and fresh air in the heart of Wyoming.
We settled into our shared estate the best we could until I met my new neighbor.
Arrogant, bossy and rude; Reid was easily the worst person I’d ever met. I’d decided to write him off entirely until I realized he was the only local horse instructor.
I’d heard that if I could get my kids onto a horse, they’d start to heal.
Desperation had me creating an alliance with him.
Envy had me craving the connection he had with them.
Distracted by the newness of our situation, I missed how close his demons danced to my ghosts. While I was ignorantly letting him take my heart, it was too late to realize . . .
He’d already stolen it once before.
