EXCERPT REVEAL - CONTEMPORARY - VAUGHN (Broken Falls, #5) by Laramie Briscoe

Vaughn
Broken Falls, #5
by Laramie Briscoe
Release Date: September 13th 2024
Genre: Contemporary Romance





Here’s your first look at Vaughn!


"Nolan, you can't cut." I point my finger at the hot, single dad, I argue with almost every day. It's a little game we play. He comes in and tries to start working his way up to the front of the line, without having to wait. He's way too good-looking for his own good, and so many men and women just take the smile he gives and let him do whatever he wants.

"I didn't cut." He holds his hand up. "This lovely young woman told me I could go in front of her. Who am I to let a gift like this go to waste?"

I tilt my head to the side, hands on my hips. "You and I both know you asked her, it wasn't like she did it out of the goodness of her heart. One day I'm going to put a sign on the front door that says do not let this man sweet talk you into giving up your spot in line."

"Why you gotta be such a hater, Val?" Nolan crosses his arms, and throws me an aggravated look.

"Your daughter loves you, isn't that enough?"

He dips his chin into his chest. "Not cool, Val. When did you learn to be mean? You used to be so nice when you first started working here."

Behind him, the man I can't stop thinking about walks up. "She's learned from the best, stop being a dick, go to the back of the line, and wait your turn."

Nolan turns on Vaughn. "Nobody asked you to get involved."

Vaughn tilts his head toward me. "You give her shit, you fuck with me. Them's the rules." He grabs Nolan by the neck, squeezing, as he takes them out the door and to the back of the line.


BLURB

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don't watch him when he's not looking.

He's not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He's had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies.

I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn't accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.


Now that I've decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I'm willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to hold off.


I'm terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I've always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he'll have no problem saying yes…


Tropes Included

· small town
· blue collar
· forced proximity
· she asks him to teach her
· he's only tender for her


Vaughn is book five in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

EXCERPT REVEAL - NA CONTEMPORARY - ICED (Walker University Wolves) by Cala Riley

Iced 
Walker University Wolves
by Cala Riley 
Release Date: September 19th 2024 
Genre: Sports Romance 


Clayton

Being the star player on the Walker Wolves has been everything I was working towards. That is, until my grades slip, threatening to take it all from me. I have to do something drastic to keep my dreams alive, so I hire a tutor. That’s when I met her. Grace Myers. She is the complete opposite of me. Shy, innocent, kind. She’s meant to tutor me on school, so why does it feel like she is schooling me on life?

Grace

I have spent half my life in love with Kellan Cooper, but he has never felt the same. If friendship is all he can offer, it’s what I’ll take from him. I thought life was simple. Until I met him. Clayton James. He is everything I’ve always hated. Loud, arrogant, a player. So why do I find myself unable to stop thinking about him and his lips? When opposites attract, will they have a fairytale ending or are they destined to crash and burn?

AMAZON

“Should I be setting boundaries with you?” I ask. “You already have been.” “Wait. What?” He laughs, grabbing my hand to lead me down the hall. “Every interaction we have, you send out signals. I knew you would need a hug because your body was yelling for one. You were tense and needed comfort. I knew that comfort would be a hug because of the way you have acted in our other interactions. You lean into touch which tells me one of your love languages has to be touch.” I open my mouth to say something, anything but nothing comes out. He has me at a loss for words. “You’ve learned all of that by simply looking at me?” I ask after a few moments of silence. “Listening too.” He admits, opening a door. I smile when I see the rink in front of us. “I didn’t realize that you spent that much time paying attention to me. I knew I shouldn’t have told you where I lived, stalker.” I wink at him. “You really shouldn’t have. Now I’m going to learn all your dirty little secrets. Like which Backstreet Boy you kissed on your wall.” I gasp, “Blasphemy. It was N’Sync and I was a JC Chasez girl.”


Cala Riley, better known as Cala and Riley, are a pair of friends with a deep seated love of books and writing. Both Cala and Riley are happily married and each have children, Cala with the four-legged kind while Riley has a mixture of both two-legged and four. While they live apart, that does not affect their connection. They are the true definition of family. What started as an idea that quickly turned into a full-length book and a bond that will never end.
