WILD CARD

an all-new contemporary STANDALONE

by New York Times Bestselling author 

Karina Halle 

is available NOW!!!

Wild Card is a standalone novel and the first book in the North Ridge Trilogy about rough and rugged Canadian mountain men, the Nelson brothers. Canada’s never felt so hot.

She swore she’d never go back home.

She swore she’d never see the man who broke her all those years ago.

But you don’t always get to choose your path.

And sometimes that path is as wild and rugged as the heart.

Rachel Waters thought she saw the last of the small mountain town of North Ridge, British Columbia, when she left six years ago. But while her advertising career blossomed beneath the skyscrapers of Toronto, her mother’s sudden illness has the 26-year old returning to North Ridge to care for her, putting her career on hold while dealing with family secrets, regrets and unresolved goodbyes.

Shane Nelson has always been a bit of a wild card. The youngest of three brothers, Shane’s spent most of his life being underestimated and misunderstood. With his quiet intensity, classic good looks and thoughtful demeanor, he’s an enigma on horseback, managing his father’s sprawling ranch on the slopes of North Ridge.

But while Shane remains the quintessential brooding cowboy, complete with an arsenal of inner demons, all of that changes when Rachel steps back into his life.

She was the girl he pushed away.

Now she’s the girl who wishes she could leave.

Despite the odds, Shane will do everything to convince Rachel he needs a second chance that he doesn’t deserve but when the two of them head off into the wilderness together in search of lost cattle, more than just their hearts are at stake.

Whether it's love or lives on the line, one thing is for sure: always bet on the wild card.

The Shape of You by Felice Stevens 

Publication Date: June 29th, 2017 

Genre: Contemporary MM Romance

Too big. Too fat.

All his life Eric Sontag has judged himself on his size, believing love and friendship aren't in the cards for someone like him. Tired of being alone and scared of his doctor’s warnings, he enrolls in a nutrition support group, determined to change his life. When a beautiful thin man sits next to him, he can’t believe they have anything in common, but conversation between the two soon proves first impressions aren’t always what they seem.

Drifter. Loner.

Corey DeSantis has always been the scrawny waif; he’s tired of struggling with his art and with life. Scarred by the disappearance and death of his drug-addicted mother, he doesn’t wish for love, believing it will bring him nothing but pain in the end. Now his only hunger in life is his desire to paint…until a health scare and his mentor force him to attend a nutrition class where he meets a man who piques his interest. One drunken kiss later, Eric is all Corey can think about.

The same, yet different.

An unlikely friendship is born with both men wanting more but afraid to listen to their well-guarded hearts. When Corey receives shocking news leaving him angry and helpless, it’s Eric he leans on, to help see him through, while a surprising career opportunity finds Eric leaning on Corey for advice. One night of explosive passion leads to a second and soon neither man can imagine a life without the other. Life is shaped by the challenges accepted and roads not taken but as Corey and Eric walk the path together, they’ll discover the most beautiful destination of all. Love.

I have always been a romantic at heart. I believe that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending around the corner, My characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy and that includes love, but getting there is oh so fun and oh so sexy.
 I live in New York City with my husband and two children. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass (or two of red wine). I practice law but daydream of a time when I can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there are bound to be a few bumps along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.

"This debut novel totally blew me away. I couldn't put it down once I started it and just had to read it until it was finished." - Readers Heaven

"I felt like I knew both of these characters. They were relatable with their daily struggles and their fears. This book was well worth the time to read and I can't wait to read the next in the series. M.E. knew howto engage the reader and keep their attention without adding extra filler. Highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a love story." - Lindsey, Mommy's Naughty Playground

Praise for True North:

I would obviously 100% recommend this series to everyone. The writing is impeccable and draws you in from the beginning until the end. The characters are, GAH I love them all!! There was the perfect mixture of suspense, drama, angst, love, everything for perfecto chemistry!!! Kelly, Sugar Shack Book Blog

When an author can cause the reader to completely lose all sense of reality and to live each step of the way with the characters, they have done their job and done it well! This is powerful writing that was not rushed, this is intriguing romance at its best. - Tome Tender Book Blog


Blurb:

North Star 

Hurt and betrayed after being told she isn’t enough, Mikayla Matthews is convinced that no man will ever truly want her. After packing up her shattered heart and relocating to start over, she literally falls for a man who wants to fight for her wary heart. 

Strong and extremely protective of those he loves, Alex North finds himself on unfamiliar territory when he becomes the guardian of his five-year-old nephew. When a beautiful stranger lands in his lap, Alex feels an immediate connection, only to have her walk away. 

Brought together by fate on several occasions, Alex senses Mikayla is the key to heal not only his nephew, but himself. Mikayla discovers she has the strength to give love a second chance as well as the courage to fight for it. But outside forces threaten to destroy their happiness, and Alex and Mikayla must dig deep within themselves to keep the past and present from destroying their relationship and the little boy they both love. 

True North

While Alex and Kayla have moved beyond the tragedies that previously held them back, the past doesn’t always agree to be left behind. Everything they thought they knew to be true is suddenly turned up on end. Collisions between the past and the present challenge their happiness, and more obstacles lurk in the shadows that threaten their happiness. 

Alex and Kayla are determined not to let these twists and turns destroy their new family. What happens when lies and deception entangle with their plans and they are confronted with disaster? Will love be enough to chart the course to their future?
