Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three swoon-worthy romances bundled into one highly addictive collection of love stories… Infertility tests the strength of a marriage, a single mother is swept off her feet by a younger man, and friends become lovers in an unexpected workplace romance. —Holding Onto Hope— Sometimes you can’t give the people you love everything they want no matter how hard you try. Other times, people need more of you than you’re capable of giving. I’m at a crossroads between my wants and their needs. Kimber and I haven’t been able to grow our family and the clock is winding down. My friendship with Jake is becoming a nightmare. Convinced everyone has it better than he does, my partner can’t see the damage he’s inflicting on himself and those around us. Forced to choose, I’m holding onto hope that it’s never too late. —Home Wrecker (Bonus Chapter included!)— To get my head screwed on straight before it’s too late, I took on a mentor role with the big brother program. Shallow as it sounds, what any nine-year-old got from having me as a role model wasn’t a priority. Then Bhodi reminds me of everything I lost out on during my childhood. Unlike the adults in my life, I’d planned on doing right by the kid. And not because of the way his mom, Holly’s, bare midriff always peeks over those signature cut-off shorts. Or the way the woman—old enough to be my… older sister—looks at me from under those thick lashes. After Holly gives me one night, she’s stolen my heart, and I’m set on winning hers over. I’ll do anything to keep them, including chasing off Bhodi’s old man, who is looking for a second chance. And it leaves everyone around us wondering who is the real home wrecker? —Deep Gap— What does an almost middle-aged guy like me have in common with a young woman who was never allowed to grow up? Not much… Other than death. Greer accepts responsibility for taking life for granted. But the weight of others’ expectations leaves her existing in the past. She stands on one side of a deep chasm, tied down by regrets that highlight a bleak future. When Greer needs a lift, I recognize our histories are strikingly similar, and I’m struggling as much with being left behind by the people I held dear. But can two lonely hearts bridge the gap together and find a promise for tomorrow? Jody Kaye, the creator of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, presents the Shattered Hearts of Carolina Romance Series Collection 2, a steamy southern romance series set in the heart of North Carolina. These emotionally-charged romance novels feature the thought-provoking journeys of strong heroines and obsessive antiheroes, age gap romances, single parents, and the soul-shattering impact a single event can have on a life. With strength and determination to overcome the odds, be prepared for a ton of angst and a whole lot of steam as the Mill Girls’ love stories tear at your heartstrings and their friendships to weave their way into your soul! **These books contain sensitive scenarios that may trigger readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three heartbreakingly honest and angsty love stories in one romance collection… A birthday gift leads to a life-changing confession, an assault survivor finds comfort in the arms of a surprising friend, and a single dad proves to a stripper there’s more to falling in love than meets the eye. —Splinter of Hope— What does anyone know about love at eighteen? All I was sure of was how much I loved my daughter… and giving her away destroyed me. Because back then the only labels I wore proved I was unwanted. Since we met, Trig has stood by my side. A protector. A lover. A splinter of hope that my arms won’t always be empty. He says he loves me, and I finally have the desire to lay my secrets bare. Except giving Trig another reason to walk away feels a lot like sacrificing our future… And I’ve already made one decision that shattered my heart. —Shred of Decency (Bonus Chapter included!)— It’s my word against his, and understanding the risk of someone finding out what happened to me is a hard pill to swallow. When the pain and loneliness becomes unbearable, I run into the most unlikely person capable of stopping my world from caving in… A decent man, who spent time behind bars. No one believes Morgan has much to offer anymore, not even him. But this once? I know better. Morgan is looking for a fresh start too. I rely on his friendship while learning how to feel safe again. Yet the closer we get, the more I question how often the punishment fits the crime. —Sliver of Truth (Bonus Chapter included!)— A stripper. A handyman. An impossible secret. Is it love or lust? And what happens when a mill girl breaks the cardinal rule? Men beg to touch my body. Yet, Dusty’s moves against mine in unspeaking eloquence. My heart stammers when we’re alone and he growls my name. I hate that I love the strength of his arms. I love that I hate it too. The feeling keeps me sane because when we’re apart doubt creeps in. I’m ashamed to admit my fears about what happens if everyone finds out we’ve been hooking up. Along with the guilt, comes the horrible thoughts I shouldn't have about Dusty’s disability. Perhaps those emotions are a sign I’m not a good person and there is a sliver of truth that I don’t deserve a better life. After all, what would a single dad really want with a woman who took her clothes off to get to where she is? Jody Kaye, the creator of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, presents the Shattered Hearts of Carolina Romance Series Collection, a steamy southern romance series set in the heart of North Carolina.

With strength and determination to overcome the odds, be prepared for the Mill Girls’ love stories to tear at your heartstrings and their friendships to weave their way into your soul! **These books contain sensitive scenarios that may trigger readers.

It should have been all the proof Drew needed she’d use her reckless and wild streak to keep him at bay. No man, no matter how hot or much southern charm he has, would hold Brier back from her dreams. And she wasn’t handing over her trust fund to anyone who thought she was better off barefoot and pregnant. Call him a hopeless romantic, yet Drew Newhouse still believes he and Brier are meant to be. After all, the feisty blonde is the one who taught him to never back down from a challenge and, this time, Drew's determined on playing for keeps.

Contending with the impending loss of a confidant they've both shared, Daveigh hasn’t garnered the courage to reveal to Cris the real reason for coming home. She’s always understood true happiness was meant for the other quints. But that doesn’t mean Daveigh hasn’t pondered everything she’d have to give up for a chance at love with the rugged and handsome man who has held her heart since she was a young girl. Yet, Daveigh’s secret doesn’t cut as deep as the one Cris harbors. Can he relinquish the past that haunts him, or will they spend a lifetime continuing to deny their deeper feelings?

Book excerpt: High school sweethearts reunite in this heartfelt second chance romance. Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I’ve moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren’t many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I’d always choose Jake Jameson. He made me feel safe - safe with my secrets, dreams, and eventually – my heart. I believed we would have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I’d forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. Yet, one single glance as he stands at my door twelve years later, and I'm instantly transported back to a simpler time when love was effortless and my heart was whole. The problem? I’m marrying his best friend.
