Jackson Rule
by Dinah McCallPowerful emotion and unforgettable romance between an ex-con and a preacher’s daughter propel this classic from the New York Times–bestselling author. Jackson Rule had spent nearly half his life behind bars for murder. Now he was starting over—or trying to. Once he laid hungry eyes on his new employer, though, his resolve to lead a simple solitary life deserted him, replaced by yearnings for fierce, forbidden passion.Preacher’s daughter Rebecca Hill was raised to give folks the benefit of the doubt—though maybe this time she’d taken charity a bit too far. True Jackson Rule had paid his debt to society, and was a hard, honest worker. What threatened to undo her was the sheer burning desire she felt in his presence, and the sinking feeling that her heart would be his captive forever.“Gut-wrenching, intense . . . a definite keeper. Sala has written a well-rounded story of an intense man with a heart of gold.” —All About Romance

Jackson's Trust: A Fourth Down Novel (Fourth Down #1)
by Violet DukeNew York Times bestselling author Violet Duke kicks off her sizzling-hot new Fourth Down series with a friends-to-lovers romance between a no-strings-attached sports analyst and the hottest damn tomboy he's ever met. It's no secret that sports analyst Jackson Gray doesn't do relationships. What is a secret, however, is the reason why. Jackson's life is . . . complicated. And it doesn't help that his current hands-off "friendship" is with the cute-as-hell new sideline reporter he's assigned to train. Turns out, not only is the woman damn sweet, she also knows as much about football as he does. Like it or not though, Jackson has to remind himself that sex is the only thing he has to offer . . . until now. Leila Hart's fast-growing friendship with Jackson is something she'd never risk, no matter how unbelievably seductive the reward. Becoming an NFL sportscaster has always been the goal, and thanks to Jackson's fierce support and mentoring, it all finally seems within reach. Problem is, a girl can only take so much of that sexy-as-sin voice whispering dirty, filthy football stats in her ear before she loses all self-control. A workplace romance with Jackson is a disaster waiting to happen, especially for someone with big dreams . . . and secrets of her own. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
