Happy Release Day to Nalini Singh’s LOVE HARD!

Nephele Tempest

The latest installment in New York Times bestselling-author Nalini Singh‘s Hard Play series, LOVE HARD, is out today. This contemporary romance marks the third book in the Hard Play series. And according to Amazon, it’s one of the Best Romances of the Month!

Love Hard Cover Art

Jacob Esera, star rugby player and young single father, has worked hard to create a joyous life for his six-year-old daughter. After the death of his childhood sweetheart soon after their daughter’s birth, all Jake wants is safety and stability. No risks. No wild chances. And especially no Juliet Nelisi, former classmate, scandal magnet, and a woman who is a thorn in his side.

As a lonely teenager, Juliet embraced her bad-girl reputation as a shield against loneliness and rejection. Years later, having kicked a cheating sports-star ex to the curb, she has a prestigious job and loyal friends—and wants nothing to do with sportsmen. The last thing she expects is the fire that ignites between her and the stuffed-shirt golden boy who once loved her best friend.

Straitlaced Jacob Esera versus wild-at-heart Juliet Nelisi? Place your bets.

LOVE HARD can be found at your favorite e-tailers, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books, as well as from Audible, Tantor, and other audiobook retailers. Or order a copy through your favorite independent bookstore. Check it out today!

 

Nalini Singh’s Rebel Hard Cover Reveal

Have you seen the gorgeous REBEL HARD cover art? Here’s your chance, if not. If you have, another look at those abs can’t hurt.

Rebel Hard cover

I’m delighted to be able to share this cover with you. Not only because it’s beautiful, but because the book itself is delightful. It mixes romance, friends, and family, and contrasts cultural traditions with modern opinions. It also features so many characters I wish I could meet in person. This cover, by the talented Frauke Spanuth of Croco Designs, reflects the joy inherent in Nalini’s writing.

REBEL HARD

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Hard Play series with a sweet, sexy romance featuring big, fat, OTT weddings, a meddling grandma, and a too-serious hero who needs to be unbuttoned…

Nayna Sharma agreed to an arranged marriage in the hope it would heal the fractures in her beloved family… only to realize too late that a traditional marriage is her personal nightmare. Panicked, she throws caution to the winds, puts on the tiniest dress she can find, and ends up in the arms of a tall, rough-edged hunk of a man who has abs of steel–and who she manages to mortally insult between one kiss and the next.

Abandoned as a child, then adopted into a loving family, Raj Sen believes in tradition, in continuity. Some might call him stiff and old-fashioned, but he knows what he wants–and it’s a life defined by rules… yet he can’t stop thinking about the infuriating and sexy woman who kissed him in the moonlight then disappeared. When his parents spring an introduction on him, the last woman he expects is her. Beautiful. Maddening. A rule breaker in the making.

He’s all wrong for her. She’s all wrong for him. And love is about to make rebels of them both.

REBEL HARD releases on September 18th in e-book and print, and October 2nd on audio. Preorder today from your favorite e-tailers: Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, Nook

About CHERISH HARD

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh kicks off her new Hard Play contemporary romance series with a sizzling story that’ll leave you smiling…

Sailor Bishop has only one goal for his future – to create a successful landscaping business. No distractions allowed. Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent… and kisses like pure sin.

Ísa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her CEO-mother) makes Ísa a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working closely with a certain hot gardener.

And Sailor Bishop has wickedness on his mind.

As Ísa starts to fall for a man who makes her want to throttle and pounce on him at the same time, she knows she has to choose – play it safe and steady, or risk all her dreams and hope Sailor doesn’t destroy her heart.

CHERISH HARD is out today, so check out your favorite online retailer to pick up a copy: Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Kobo, Paperback. (Audio coming soon.)

And be sure to check out ROCK HARD, as well, available at a discounted price for a limited time.
