“It does actually.” She took the soggy newspaper from under his arm and tossed it onto the nearest park bench. “It’s a beautiful name.” She took his hands and entwined her fingers with his.
A cute smile graced his face. “So, now that you’re a soon-to-be household name, do you think you can get me an audition for the leading male role in this movie?”
Anna pouted. “Unfortunately the role’s been filled. They won’t tell me who yet. But. . .” She twisted her lips to one corner. “I do know of another opportunity for a leading man.”
“Oh yeah? In what?”
Anna leaned in and placed her mouth near his ear. “In my life.”
His smile deepened and he slid his arms around her waist. “Can I get an audition?”
She threaded her arms under his and spread her palms against his muscular back. “No need. The job’s all yours.”
Charlie tickled her nose with his, then tilted his head and pressed his lips against hers. Softly, they explored each other, the lightning bolt of bliss she’d felt with Karl a mere flicker compared to the colorful explosion of fireworks going off right now in her belly. Sparks of passion shot through every cell, every nerve tingling with potential, and she knew without a doubt that this was a sign of things to come, a beautiful beginning to her new life – to their New Lives.

I Dream of Johnny
by Juliet Madison
From the author of Fast Forward comes a story about three wishes, a high-tech genie in a lamp, and one very unfortunate typo. . .
Getting three wishes isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when an unfortunate spelling error in Mandy’s high-tech magic lamp changes her wish for a Greek God to a Geek God. His fashion IQ is in the negatives, he’s clingier than cling wrap, and he has a penchant for breaking into song at inappropriate moments. Before Mandy can request a replacement wish, she has to put up with him for twenty four hours, and the timing couldn’t be worse — it’s her friend’s wedding day, her ex will be there, and the God of Geeks insists on coming along for the ride!
Lost in Kakadu
by Kendall Talbot
An action adventure novel set in the Australian jungle where two unlikely people prove just how attractive opposites can be. . .
It’s pretentious socialite Abigail Mulholland’s worst nightmare when her plane crashes into an ancient Australian wilderness. Things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. As she battles to survive in an environment that’s as brutal as it is beautiful, Abigail finds herself also fighting her unlikely attraction to Mackenzie — another survivor, and a much younger man.
Mackenzie Steel is devastated by his partner’s death in the crash, the only person with whom he shared his painful past. Now, as he confronts his own demons, he finds he has a new battle on his hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who’s as frustratingly naïve as she is funny.
Fate brought them together, but they’ll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive. Could the letters of a dead man hold the key to their survival?
The Lies We Tell
by Elizabeth Dunk
From the author of Arranged to Love comes a romantic story of forgiveness, secrets, small towns and second chances.
Ten years ago, Todd Lansing stood over his father’s grave, his heart thumping out curses on Sia Collins for causing his death. When he returns to Oberon and sees Sia again, his heart thumps with a different emotion, one he fights with all the anger he still feels.
Sia didn’t commit the break-in that ended up killing Mr Lansing, but to admit that would send her father to jail. She has rebuilt her life in the small town, atoned for her accused crime, and carved out a niche using her talent with paint to reach out to the community, raise funds, and support her family.
When Todd finds out the truth, he can’t understand why Sia won’t speak out and clear her name, and it threatens to tear them apart. With her relationship with Todd on the line, will Sia choose loyalty or love?
