While we wait for release day, enjoy this excerpt from their first interaction.

After a final inspection, I set the specialty beverage on the bar top for her approval. An oversized mason jar showcases the tropical concoction. The different flavored layers provide a colorful presentation. In addition to the visual pleasure, there’s enough fruit on the rim to be considered an afternoon snack.

Her blue eyes sparkle in appreciation. “How pretty. Is this one of your signature drinks for Swing into Spring?”

“Nah, this is just a little something I whipped up for you.”

Grace clutches her palms over her chest. “Aww, thank you. What is it?”

“Let’s call it…” I pause to think of an appropriate title. “Ultimate Distraction.”

“And why would we choose that?”

“It’s inspired by you.”

She presses a fluttered hand to her forehead, pretending to swoon. “Are you a closet romantic?”

“Are you trying to flatline my dick permanently, woman?” My balls threaten to shrivel at the prospect alone.

Loud laughter escapes her. “Don’t worry, bartender. I’d never do that to your harem. How much do I owe you?”

“This one is on the house. Maybe it will lift your spirits along with your skirt.” I drop a cocktail straw into her drink.

“That’s sweet. Mostly. But do you have a bigger one?” She frowns at the stir stick like it’s offensive.

I bite my knuckles with a growl. “Damn, baby. Why didn’t you say so sooner? I can give you a solid nine inches if you’re willing to drop the serious relationship requirement for a night.”

“Only if you’re willing to be my Prince Charming for always. Why should I be the one to sacrifice what I want?” She puckers her lips in an erotic display that gets my blood pumping too hot.

I almost concede before logic smacks me. “Afraid I can’t agree to those terms.”

Her sigh attempts to convince me that she’s disappointed. “Then I guess this is where we part ways.”

“Don’t be bleak.” I grab a regular-sized straw and slide it into her glass. “Our paths will cross again.”

Grace tosses me a wink before snagging her drink from the counter. “I’ll leave that up to you, soulmate.”

COVER REVEAL: Yours to Catch

October 11, 2023 harloerae

It’s COVER REVEAL DAY!!!

Garrett Foster doesn’t disappoint, especially when staring at his new best friend who’s off-limits. Look at that smolder!

AND now the blurb ↓

𝙄 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙.

My whirlwind romance would begin once I was ready to take the plunge.

Spoiler alert—every failed first date on record suggests otherwise.

Just when I’m beginning to fault my lofty standards, Garrett Foster saunters onto the scene.

The football star turned bar owner is quick to volunteer his services.

He vows to deliver the best version of Mr. Right—just to prove first impressions deserve a second glance.

I’d question these seemingly selfless intentions if Garrett’s reputation didn’t answer for itself.

Shameless flirting aside, it’s well-known that the established bachelor doesn’t plan to settle down. Ever.

He treats commitment like a bad habit he kicked in college.

That makes him a very eligible sidekick.

At least until his actions start speaking louder than words.

Almost to the suggestive tune that he’s making me miss on purpose.

Or maybe I’m just falling for the guy who claims that he’s not the one for me…

PREORDER TODAY and read on October 25th ➜ https://mybook.to/YoursToCatch

NEW RELEASE: Wrong for You

April 1, 2023October 7, 2023 harloerae

Wrong for You is LIVE!

GET YOUR COPY HERE

I used to believe Jacob Evans could be mine.
That was before he delivered unforgivable news rather than sweeping me off my feet.
Not that I can fault his choice.
He got the sweetest little girl out of the deal.

I took the heartbreak as a learning experience and moved on for the better.
Jake did the opposite—allowing bitterness to fill the void.
Only his daughter can pull him from the broody gloom.
Those moments are my favorite.

Not that it matters.
Jake isn’t anything to me other than a reminder of what almost was.

Besides, we couldn’t be more wrong for each other.
I’ve come to accept that.
But as it turns out, Jake hasn’t.

EXCERPT REVEAL: Wrong for You

March 22, 2023March 22, 2023 harloerae

We’re ONE WEEK away from the release of Wrong for You.

preorder here!

While we wait, enjoy this snippet to get you in the mood!

I give myself two more seconds to mourn what could’ve been. The ache in my chest doesn’t cease, but I don’t reveal the cracks splintering through me. My heart pumps and air continues to flow into my lungs. On the grand scale of shitty situations, this bump in the road doesn’t deserve mention.

My sandals grind into the ground as I spin to face him. I ignore the burn spreading from behind my breastbone. The grin I force to appear might as well be made from plastic. But I’m the picture of acceptance.

I swipe at my wet cheeks to erase the leftover evidence. “You’re right. It’s for the best.”

Jake rocks backward. His lips part and press together to a disjointed tempo. For the first time, he seems to flounder for a response. “Yeah?”

My head bobs in agreement. “I’m leaving for college at the end of August. There’s a dorm room on campus with my name on it.”

And I couldn’t get there fast enough after this relationship demolition.

“Thought you were commuting?”

“Plans change,” I clip.

Something painful flickers over his features before he smothers it. Then he’s the mask of indifference. “Right.”

“So, I guess this is goodbye.” My voice cracks, but I ignore the stumble.

Jake squints at me. “You’re good with this?”

“Absolutely.” I laugh, but the tone is humorless. “And congratulations. You’re gonna be a dad.”

His eyes blow wide, and he drags a hand through his dark hair. “Shit, that’s weird to hear.”

“You’ll get used to it.”

“Not much of an alternative, huh?”

“Good luck.” My smile wobbles with the farewell.

He pauses to study me again. “Why are you acting so chill?”

“My pity party came to an abrupt end. You told me to knock it off, remember?”

A breeze stirs at that moment. He glances at the swaying branches above. I allow my gaze to follow his lead. What little brightness still exists on this day shines through the leaves. It offers us much-needed peace.

His stare is unfocused when he looks at me next, but determination squares his shoulders. “I’m sorry, Harper.”

“Don’t be.”

“But—”

“You’re starting a family. There’s nothing sorry about that.” Or that’s what I’ll trick myself to believe.

Jake’s sigh sounds heavier than the elephant crushing my chest. My throat clogs as conflict pinches his somber appearance. He fidgets, curling his fingers into white-knuckle fists. Muscles bunch and twitch beneath his shirt. It almost looks like he wants to reach out to me. But then, just as before, his features return to their stoic state.

The sight is almost too much for me to balance on this teetering farce. I gulp to trap the hiccupped sob ready to betray me.

After a single nod, Jake turns away. His retreating footsteps threaten to weaken my willpower. I want to chase him. Beg him to choose me. But that would be selfish. His path is heading in a different direction. One I can’t follow.

I can only watch him leave our love behind.
