Dog-Eared Daydreams

Counter Play (Walker University Stallions #1) by Ava Sutton Release Date: May 2, 2025 About Counter Play In the game of love, it’s hard to level the playing field when your opponent is the one who got away. I was nine years old when I claimed Charlie King as mine. We were in love — high school sweethearts — until one devastating day when it all fell apart. Two years later, she’s back in my life and needs a place to live. Sure, she’s infuriating, and her kissable smart mouth keeps me on my toes, but her being in my space falls into my plan to get her back. Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with me but I’ll be damned if I let her walk out of my life again. Even if it means the dark secrets of my past will come rushing back to haunt us both. When we’re down to the wire, it’s time to make a counter play and win my girl back for good. Add Counter Play on Goodreads .

Long Time Coming by S.L. Scott Release Date: May 1, 2025 About Long Time Coming It didn’t take long for news to spread that Tagger Grange was back in Peachtree Pass. I found out even faster when I fell right into his arms— not by choice. The barstool wobbled under me when reaching for a cheddar biscuit. They’re my weakness. Much like he used to be. Rolled up sleeves and tailored pants have replaced the boots and jeans my brother’s best friend once wore. But it’s not just the clothes that have changed. His shoulders are broader and he’s broodier. Somehow, he's even more handsome than ever. And seeing the little boy smiling at his side? My heart instantly melts. I can't handle Tagger as a hot single dad. Since he has no plans to stay, I know it’s best to avoid him. But daily run-ins at Rollingwood Ranch make him hard to ignore, and even harder to walk away. His heated glances warm my insides, his smile awakens my dormant heart, and one stormy night leads to crossin...

Under One Roof (Stone Family #1) by Sophie Andrews Release Date: May 1, 2025 About Under One Roof She’s sunshine and cute chaos. I’m her new boss. As a firefighter and former Navy SEAL, rescuing civilians is part of the job, but when I helped a soaking wet slip of a woman in short shorts and cowboy boots with her broken down Jeep, I didn’t think I was getting a sneak peek at my new nanny. I’m a single dad who thrives on keeping a structured routine for my kids. Yet Andi Halton blows all of that out of the water, armed with a sticker-covered guitar and wild ideas about relaxing that schedule. What’s worse is I can’t stop thinking about how good she looks doing yoga in my living room. Or how plump her lips are and how they might feel pressed against mine. Keeping my hands off of her is harder than surviving Hell Week—because every moment spent with her ignites a yearning I didn’t think I could feel again. Under One Roof is the first book in a steamy new family saga roman...
