Blurb:
Welcome to Buckeye Falls, where second chances mend broken hearts for these childhood sweethearts. Wedding bells are ringing, but the sister of the groom is conflicted.

Fifteen years ago, Mallory Lawson “married” her childhood sweetheart, Beckett, in a pretend wedding on his family’s apple farm. She treasures not only the memories, but the ring he put on her finger. The trouble now, her brother, Evan, wants to put that family heirloom on his fiancée’s finger.  Mallory adores CeCe, but she struggles to get past her girlhood fantasies of Beckett swooping back into her life with a certain ruby ring…

Beckett Fox is at a crossroads. After losing his grandfather, he’s listless and fearful of coming back to the family farm. There are too many memories, and most of them are tied to the love of his life, Mallory. He doesn’t even know if she remembers that fateful day when they were kids, playing make-believe under the apple trees, but he does. Now he’s back to help his buddy get married, and he hopes to find peace on the family farm, with Mallory by his side…

When the wedding planning kicks into high gear, Beckett and Mallory are thrust together as maid of honor and best man. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks between them. Beckett fears Evan won’t support him dating Mallory, so the pair date in secret. But true love won’t stay hidden forever…

We think of a blitz as something that happens on the football field or when someone comes at you as a group, but to be blitzed in love is a good thing. It makes you feel loved. The guy can't get enough of you and he's spoiling you with treats to get you to agree to be with him. Okay, I guess it could be seen as a bad thing if you didn't like him... 

In HER FAKE BLITZ, Alex is being courted by football star, Cane and he won't take no for an answer. Alex is wary of love with a sports guy, after all who wouldn't be? They can be fickle but Cane isn't. He wants Alex and won't give her a chance to say no. 

This opposite attract story is steamy and fast-paced with snarky comments and sizzle. Alex and Cane are enticing together and readers end up rooting for them to just say yes!

HER FAKE BLITZ is out now in ebook and print and will be your favorite steamy sports romance! Don't miss your chance to see those moves that Cane puts on Alex. :)

Blurb:
  Everything he ever needed was found in the one person he never expected.
Cane Clayburn has been a force to be reckoned with as the Texans Star Quarterback. Multiple surgeries have caused rumors of doubt about his future. He knows he still has it. What he doesn’t know is why he is so attracted to the reckless reporter.

Upcoming sports journalist Alex Manelli is making headlines. Her spin on the Texan Star Quarterback being a “Has Been” rather than a “Comeback King” is her best piece to date. She prepped profusely for her exclusive interview with Cane Clayburn. What she didn’t prep for was lack of oxygen in the room.

Things were supposed to be professional. They were supposed to be at odds. Their egos were not supposed to push them into a place they never expected to be.

Will the two continue their explosive path of opposite desires or will they collide into the most powerful move on and off the field?
 
Gia Stone’s latest romance sets fire to the Football Romance genre with witty dialogue and sizzling characters who jump off the page. Fans of The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy will fall in love with Her Fake Blitz.
 
EXCERPT
There was a flash of a smile but it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. “I can’t accept gifts from players over fifty dollars.”

“Well then that’s a shame cause this one is way over that price. But I won’t tell anyone if you don’t. It almost came under until I went and signed it. Damn my celebrity upping the value of things.” His mouth hitched up in a lazy smile as he handed her a wrapped package.

Alex eyed the box suspiciously. “What’s that?”

“Something you’re needing. And you’re welcome.”

Alex tore off the paper and examined the hardbound thesaurus. She smiled and shook her head. “Look at you, Corn Fed, you realized thesaurus wasn’t the name of a dinosaur.” Alex tossed it on her desk without bothering to read the inscription.

Cane laughed. “You like your big words but you use the same ones over and over. Shake it up a bit, Ms. Lady Parts.”

“Look at you, reading and everything. Or did you have someone read you the article, too?”

“Read it all by myself. Seems to me you went to a whole lot of effort just to see me. If you want to go out with me, Alex, just ask. You can stop writing bullshit articles to get my attention. You got it. So, what are you going to do with it?”

“I—I didn’t write it to—”
​
“Sweetheart, I respect you, don’t ruin it by lying. You want me so I’m here.”

As a teacher, I had tricks that I would use to get the kids' attention. One was counting down or counting backward. I only started at five most times and by the time I got to one, they were quiet. 

Author Liz Ashlee uses counting backward in her book- COUNTING BACKWARD to highlight an important incident in her characters' lives. It becomes a significant part of her story and one that is sure to stand out in the reader's mind. 

COUNTING BACKWARD is the second book in her Love in Motion series and is just as gripping as the first one. While each can be read as a standalone, they are much better when read together. The characters in COUNTING BACKWARD show up in the other books and connect in various ways, bringing depth to the story. 

I loved the powerful emotional story in COUNTING BACKWARD and I'm sure you will as well. Now available in Ebook and Print, be sure to grab a copy today.

Blurb:
She’s his soulmate. He’s her biggest regret.
Jessa Monroe is a survivor. She’s survived heartbreak, a difficult childhood, and her mama’s maniac boyfriend. What she isn’t sure she can survive is Beau Gamble walking back into her life.

Beau left Jessa because he loved her. At the time, it was the only way to keep her safe. But when they reunite, he realizes he left her unprotected during the worst moment of her life.

All he can is do is try to break through Jessa’s walls so he can be with her again—back where he belongs. But Jessa can’t trust that Beau won’t walk away as he did once before. To protect her heart, she’s built tall and strong walls around it. Beau is determined to prove he’s here to stay and that he never stopped loving her. He knows that she is meant to be his first, last, and only love.

Liz Ashlee’s stories are emotional reads about real world problems. Fans of The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout and All the Little Things by Rachel Leigh will love her romance about grief and finding the one who makes you want to live again. 

EXCERPT:
Everything dies away as Jessa enters the diner, her pretty hair pulled back in a perky ponytail, wearing a Maxie’s T-shirt. There’s something about her—something that has always made my heart pound so hard I fear it’ll snap right out of my chest. Loving her has been my only mission since the first time I noticed her sitting in front of the high school. I don’t know why or how. . . it’s just always been that way. There’ll never be anyone else but her.

Look back, pretty girl. Look back.

She hastens past my booth and I’m afraid she’ll go right on past me like every other week. . . but then. . .

There she is.

Her eyes latch onto mine. They’re almost liquid, brimming with everything she used to feel for me. The first time I saw those eyes, I thought they seemed cold and unfeeling. But the more I got to know her, the more I noticed they were just guarded—a guard she let down for me. Her mouth parts slightly and I see a soft smile tug at the edges of her lips. I start to smile back. Her attention makes me feel like the luckiest, happiest man in the world. But she comes back to reality and continues walking away from me. Practically running.

But I don’t care. That’s one second I didn’t have last week. A smile I didn’t have. Damn, I’m slipping. Obsessed. Pritch drops his fist down on the table. “You’re screwed, man.”
​
I drop my head. “Yeah, I totally am.”
