BLURB
A sexy, new forbidden romance from USA Today bestselling author Alexa Padgett.

For the first time in years, I want…

I want Knox Wright. My best friend’s brother, my boss…the man who breaks my still-shattered heart.
Knox was a college hockey legend and, now, he’s one of the most successful architects in decades. I was the new hire whose desperate need to move on from that night drove me to succeed.
I never should have accepted the position, not once I looked into Knox Wright’s eyes and felt the heat deep in my belly…but I did. Because Knox makes me feel alive. And as I fall under Knox’s spell, our relationship turns intense and deep…and secret. When our affair runs the risk of being exposed, I face a far more intimate betrayal than I ever expected.

Arrogant Architect is a best friend’s brother/forbidden/workplace romance inspired by British Bedmate.

MY REVIEW
Emmaline cannot believe how gorgeous, and arrogant, her new boss, Knox is. Unfortunately, there's a clear rule about no fraternization, so she and Knox will just have to control themselves. Easy, right?
Knox has a big problem with his feelings for his new employee. He knows he can't act on the attraction. He knows he should stay away. And he knows he doesn't trust women, so he shouldn't even be thinking about Emmaline the way he does. He shouldn't get involved, but somehow he can't help himself. If she ever finds out what he and his brother are up to, though, she'll never forgive him. She's fragile, so fragile and he doesn't even realize the depth of what she's gone through. Will his deception hurt her beyond repair?

Arrogant Architect is so much more than I had been expecting from the blurb. It's not just an office romance, friend's brother romance - it's a story about healing and acceptance, and yes, love. Poor Emmaline had been through so much for such a young age, her backstory was heartbreaking actually. Knox too had his demons from a past betrayal, so when those demons got the best of him...yeah, it wasn't pretty. Pretty sad in fact, and I was engrossed by these two. Altogether a compelling, entertaining addition to the Cocky Hero Club.

Cover Reveal: A Little Luck by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck! Releasing December 14, 2023 Adam Stone is not a saint. He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods. He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids. But another man took my hand. He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you. Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break. But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything. I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try. I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… He says he’s different. He sa
