Trauma

From RT Book Reviews New Adult Award Winner, K.K. Allen comes a new and suspenseful small town mountain romance. Lost in the shadows of a tragedy that stripped Aurora June of everything she once loved, she’s back in the small town of Balsam Grove, North Carolina, ready to face all she’s kept locked away for seven years. Or so she thinks. As one of the victims of a string of mysterious disappearances in the small, picturesque Appalachian Mountain town, darkness has become her home—her safe blanket when the world reveals its true colors. But as the walls of darkness start to move in on her, she knows the only way to free herself from her past is to face it, head-on. She just needs to figure out how. Upon arrival, Aurora isn’t expecting her first collision to be with the boy she left all those years ago. The boy who betrayed her trust with no regrets. The boy who is no longer a boy, but a man with the same stormy eyes that swept her into his current before she ever learned to swim. She’d thought he was safe. He’d thought their path was mapped out. Turns out neither of them was ready for the crash at the bottom of the cascade.

A brand new standalone hate\-to\-love, brother's best friend hockey romance. My new roommates are two pro hockey players. First, my manwhore older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate). This was a last resort. No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and ball sweat. But here I am, trying to get my life together. Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen, but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan rail me into next week.

Something about Jude Sharpe makes me wish for a sinkhole to swallow me up—just so I'd stop embarrassing myself in front of him. Maybe it’s those intense green eyes or the sculpted muscles and towering frame that scream hunky lumberjack, or maybe it’s the way his quiet stare has me babbling incessantly. I’m just trying to focus on resuscitating my landscape design business since I moved back home. I'm a total mess after what happened in Seattle, and I don’t need some sexy, tall drink of water distracting me from getting my act together. Haunted by my past, I'm not ready to be with anyone. So, when I find myself working closely with Jude at a romantic cliffside property, I'm determined to ignore his magnetic pull and focus on the work. But the way he looks at me has my cheeks flushing and my flirt cranked up to eleven! Whatever is brewing between us, I've got another major problem: my ex won't stop harassing me—and his unhinged behavior is escalating. As the fire burns quick and hot with Jude, the reality of my past rears its ugly head and I have to dig deep for the courage to either let him in or risk losing everything. Hey Jude is the first book in the Lennox Valley Chronicles series. It features mature content intended for readers aged 18 and up.
