Wednesday Romance Reads To Devour 12/20

Merciless Monster
Lydia Hall
$0.99

I have to bear the consequences of sleeping with a merciless monster.

Dante is the father of my child.

He has no idea I kept that secret after our sizzling night in Italy.

It was my best friend’s wedding and he was her cousin that I couldn’t resist.

Dante looked like a strong man who would protect me.

But a relationship couldn’t be in the cards.

I had to get back to the US.

Little did I know that I was carrying a part of him along.

Not just his child… but also the dangerous world he can’t escape.

If I’ve got an unspeakable secret, Dante has a few of his own.

Ending up in the same city as him five years later would remove all veils.

It would force us to confront the truth.

And it would push him to protect his new family with everything he’s got.

But first, could this merciless monster find a way to forgive me for a mistake that would change his world forever?

Hostile Territory
Marie James
FREE

Can you call someone an enemy if you haven’t seen them for the better part of a decade?

Deacon Black is perfectly content with the status quo—work, sleep, repeat.
Who cares if he’s rigid, structured, and set in his ways?
It’s a job requirement that keeps his men safe and his company’s doors open.
One phone call is all it takes to upend his life and land him right back into a past he has tried to forget.
Revisiting old ghosts is the last thing he needs.
Especially when the forced trip down memory lane includes the only woman he never wanted to see again.

Annalise Grimaldi hit the jackpot with her life—from her trust fund to her best friend, she has it all.
But her world comes crashing to a halt when her best friend vanishes— leaving behind an apartment in tatters and more questions than answers.
There’s only one person she can think of that can help in a situation like this.
She hates to make the call, but there isn’t a thing she wouldn’t do to make sure her friend is found.
Even setting aside her hatred for Deacon Black.

Christmas At The End Of Main Street
Meg Easton

All either of them wants for Christmas are some jingle bells, to deck the halls, and for everyone to stop finding them dates.

Macie Zimmerman would love to get married and start a family. But after so much searching, she's sick of having hope that something will work out. All she needs is a good six months of no dating– time she could spend building her business, Paws and Relax, and hanging out with the animals who show her all the love she needs– to be able to face it again. If only she can keep everyone in town from trying to find her a husband.

High school teacher Aaron Hall plans to never get married. He got engaged once, and it turned out as awful as his parents' marriage had. But that doesn't stop all his married friends from trying to convince him otherwise. And worst of all, his students are now determined to find him a wife before the end of the school year.

This Christmas, Macie and Aaron are teaming up to make everyone believe they're dating each other so they'll quit trying to line them up with others. But as this fake relationship takes them to holiday parties, events around town, and his school's winter formal, and “fake” starts to feel “real,” can they overcome the obstacles in their way?
