Book Description
"There. Now if you even think about telling my dad about the kitten, I'll tell on you first. I bet he'll be a lot more upset that you kissed his daughter than about some tiny kitty." Dad and I have been on our own for years. We've faced everything head on and have traveled aimlessly in search of anywhere that felt like home. I liked this abnormal routine of ours. Until one day, Dad announces that a woman he's been seeing long distance is now his wife. Not only is she moving in with us, but she's bringing her son along. Derek, my new stepbrother, is...hot. He is temptation I don't need right now. But the struggle to play house with my new family is tested after one blackmail kiss. The first night in my new house--complete with brand new stepdad and stepsister--had me restless. I wandered the woods behind the new place and that's when everything derailed. Lara pops out of the shadows with a secret kitten. Terrified that I'll snitch to her dad, she does something I never saw coming. Trouble is, that teasing blackmail kiss quickly turns into more. Then I get a traveling job offer I can't refuse. Can I convince this blackmailing beauty to risk it all and join me? Lara's Blackmail Kiss is part of Max Watson's Bubble Bath Romance collection. Each standalone short story is intended to be read in one sitting--in a hot and steamy bubble bath! Each book features steamy romance with an HEA.

"I'm a work in progress, just like everyone else." Although the Dea Vitae cult has been evicted from Thalia Island, Lara and her grandfather’s eco-utopia are still in peril.

Beyond the grind of running her own “planet," Lara must contend with the reappearance of Jacinta Ramirez, a fugitive Clarke Innovations has been shielding for years. Jacinta unveils disturbing secrets that reshape the history Lara’s been fed about her late mother’s past—and how much that past threatens to derail their cumulative future. When stress sends Lara to the bottom of a whisky bottle, Finan reminds her that slipping into old habits won’t fix what’s broken. As she tries to pull herself together, a tragedy brings her and Finan close again, but with a series of cryptic clues arriving on Thalia, the mystery of the cult, and its sought-after treasure, deepens. Lara and Finan must work with investigators, and a few unsavory players, to dismantle the sinister machinations of Dea Vitae before it destroys their blossoming romance, and the sanctity of Thalia Island herself.

FLIRTS!!!!” Stories in this volume include: “Hex Addict” Short story #1: 9000 words Vicky is a witch who enjoys that special feeling she gets when casting love spells on humans. Handsome Drake is an enforcer in the witching world who opposes her work. When he accuses her of being a hex addict, her love spell backfires and hits the two of them. Now that these enemies are smitten, Vicky wonders whether she wants the spell reversed. “The Ghost’s Guide to Dating” Short story #2: 9000 words Julie can see ghosts, including her grandmother, who insists she play matchmaker for her friends in the afterworld. When these golden ghouls aren’t haunting strip clubs, they’re busy meddling in their families’ love lives. But when one ghost asks Julie to set up her granddaughter with a handsome guy at a wedding, Julie decides she wants him for herself. Now Julie must either face the wrath of an angry spirit, or give up a guy she’s fallen for. “Cupid School Dropout” Short story #3: 10,000 words In order to obtain immortality, Val is training to become one of Cupid’s agents, and his final exam is a doozy. He has to help jaded Jacey find love, even though she’s convinced she doesn’t want it. But when he falls for her, there’s a big price for Val to pay if he wants to be with her forever. “Charmed” Short story #4: 9,000 words Alana makes a wish on a love charm that she buys at an antique store: she wants to find a redheaded Scotsman like the character in a favorite book. The next day, her wish seems to have come true when she meets Doug—he’s tall, has red hair, and a killer Scottish accent. Unfortunately, Doug has a secret that threatens to ruin everything. Is there any way to save their charmed romance? “Dream Guy” Short story #5: 13,000 words Occasionally, Kim has “shiny” dreams that come true. And she’s been having one about her future groom—a guy she’s never met—for years. But when she bumps into him one day, he runs away from her. In fact, he runs every time he sees her. Which is often, since she keeps bumping into him in the strangest places. What’s this guy got against Kim anyway, and how is she going to marry a man who won’t even speak to her?
