Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of April 20, 2016
1. Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland: “It started out like any other morning on the train. Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle. He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world. Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?”
2. Beautiful Distraction by J.C. Reed: “Kellan Boyd always gets what he wants–except that one infuriating city girl who bumped into his new chick magnet sports car, dared to call him a jerk, and threw his pity check in his face.”
3. Go Long by Joanna Blake: Belinda Carmichael is uptight, prissy and the hottest girl I’ve ever seen. She’s also the head coach’s precious baby girl. And she’s entirely off limits. The trouble is, I didn’t know who she was when I met her. And she had no idea I was her daddy’s newest star player. It was her job to show me around campus, and I showed her a lot more than that. But we fumbled the ball – she never told a soul who got her pregnant.”
4. Still Here: A Secret Baby Romance by Laura Bell Peters and Kaylee Song: “When Wyatt Graves offers my family fifty-thousand dollars extra to buy a plot of land I can’t say no, even after I hear the catch. Ten dates, no strings, nothing physical, no promises. Sounds easy, right?”
5. Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons by Denise Grover Swank: “When Rose reports for Fenton County jury duty she figures she’s lucky to get out of a morning working at the DMV. Instead, despite a disastrous encounter with the new assistant district attorney, Mason Deveraux, she’s picked as a juror on a murder case.”
6. Sugar Rush by Tracey Ward: “Colt Avery is on fire. Dubbed one of the NFL’s best kept secrets, he’s in the spotlight for the first time in his career. Women want him, coaches are courting him, and his Kansas cornfield good looks are too good not to be shared. His face is everywhere; TV, magazines, billboards.”
7. His Princess (A Royal Romance) by Abigail Graham: “The Crown Prince took me prisoner. You read that right. Crown Prince. Castle, throne, the whole nine yards. The monarch of a totalitarian regime has locked me up in his fortress, and he demands that I marry him… and provide him with an heir!”
8. Bastian: A Secret Baby Romance by Lauren Landish: “When my father died after a horrific car crash, my mother remarried a filthy rich billionaire by the name of Donald Witherspoon. Little did I know that this union would come along with a hot-as-hell stepbrother that would become the bane of my existence.”
9. Mr. and Mrs. by Alexa Riley: “Welcome to Alexa Riley Promises. This series is dedicated to old romances. It’s tropes galore, with all of our usual over-the-top alphas and sweet cheesy goodness. These short books will focus on traditional and classic tropes while sticking to the Alexa Riley code: no cheating and always with an HEA. That’s our Promise to you.”
10. Heart of the Hunter by Chance Carter: “My name is Hunter, and when it comes to my woman, I don’t play around. I feel her. I protect her. I love her ferociously. Some people say I go too far. They think I deserve to be locked up. I’m not a reasonable man.”
