Fiona and the Fixer by Vanessa Vale (2024)

**A bad boy fixer and a bombshell detective can work together on opposite sides of the law... or so I hear.** I’m an overworked fixer who needs a break. When I’m asked to cat-sit in Coal Springs, I’m all for a few boring days. Except there is no break, and there’s no chance to be bored. Not when I walk into a convenience store and meet a kick-ass woman with an obsession for coffee who takes down an armed robber single-handedly. I now have my own obsession. Her. When I discover she’s an FBI agent, I can only laugh. Because I break the law. She enforces it. For all I know, she might be here to investigate me or my hitman friend. I should steer clear, but I can’t. She’s ballsy and brash and drives me crazy. She’s stirring up trouble all over town and risking her safety… and my sanity. I thought I knew my biggest threat. It’s not a town full of feral women who love that I’m temporarily running a romance bookstore or some dangerous pickle store owners. No, it’s Fiona. And I’m not sure if either of us will make it out of Coal Springs alive. Can the bad guy fall for the good girl… and survive?

Hannah and the Hitman by Vanessa Vale (2024)

**What happens when a sexy, cocky hitman and a secretly smutty small town librarian get together? Sparks fly.** I'm a hitman. With all the bad guys out there, business is brisk. I don't have time to focus on anything but work until I sit beside a curvy woman on a plane… and read over her shoulder. I'm instantly obsessed with the small-town librarian who dreams of having a happily-ever-after of her own but is convinced true love is a fantasy only found in books. My new job? Proving that she'll have an HEA with me. Because she's mine. Except... big problem. I haven't told her I'm a hitman. Turns out, she has a few shocking secrets of her own. When a mafia boss doesn't like me distracted from one last hit, can I be a superhero and keep Hannah alive, or am I not the one wearing the cape? **Hannah and the Hitman has tons of heat, lots of laughs, plus a fun, supernatural twist.**

Man Spread by Vanessa Vale (2024)

**I'm a famous TV star—how hard can it be to pretend that real love is fake?** To women around the world, I’m Dr. Dark and Dangerous, sexiest bachelor alive. I meet the only one who has no idea who I am. To single mom Aspen, I’m just the guy who rocked her world one night. Nothing more. With the tabloids out to destroy my career and a movie deal on the line, I need help. I need a girlfriend to improve my image. Since the only one I want won’t do a real relationship, she agrees to be my fake girlfriend. Except the more time we’re together, the more we blur the lines between what's real and what’s fake. Because how I feel for her isn’t pretend at all.

Man Cave - On a Manhunt 3 by Vanessa Vale (2023)

**Life's not simple. Neither is love.** I'm twenty-four, and ahem... inexperienced. When a blind date doesn't change that status, Theo volunteers for the task. Who's Theo? Just the guy I've been crushing on for six months. Yeah, him. Tall, broad and handsome and gah, now he's even got a beard! He's diligent. Very focused. Skilled. And impossible not to fall for. Except he's only up for a fun time. A wild romp or two. No way would he have any romantic interest in someone like me. Why would he? He's an intense, brooding doctor—and, oh yeah, a billionaire—and I'm a goofy first grade teacher barely making ends meet. When my goal changes from man-made O's to the man himself, I know I'm in trouble. Because he's no longer a crush, but someone I might actually love. *With all the books in the On A Manhunt series, it’s always open season on men.*

A Wanton Woman by Vanessa Vale (2016)

Celia Lawrence can’t show her face in her conservative, small town. First, she discovered her husband in bed with another man’s wife, and then she witnessed both their murders. While she didn’t pull the trigger, small town gossip is not forgiving and everywhere she goes she is chastised for not being woman enough to keep her straying husband at home. Eager to flee her old life, Celia heads to Colorado as a mail-order bride. As mayor of Slate Springs, Colorado, Luke Benson is expected to set the example. Their small town is hidden away in a remote mountainous region where few women have the courage or desire to tread. As mayor, it falls to him to test out their newly passed law and share a wife with his brother. The truth is, Luke has no interest in a woman of his own, and agrees to a mail-order bride out of duty, not anticipation. His brother, Walker, is jaded and hard after the death of his first wife. For Walker, loving again is out of the question. But a man has needs, and he’ll eagerly take his pleasure from their new bride while expecting Luke to provide the tenderness and caring a woman expects. A marriage based on everything but love should be doomed. But Celia, Luke and Walker discover one thing they have in common: desire. Will that be strong enough to survive the danger that follows Celia from Texas? Will desire be strong enough to teach three broken souls that sometimes you have to risk everything for love?
