It’s funny how one night can change everything.
Family comes first. I knew that. I knew there would be sacrifices and we are so close to having it all. I knew because I had the perfectly laid out plan to make it happen.
That is until she walked in and knocked my world on its ass.
Sydney’s strong, sexy, independent – possibly more than I can handle.
She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but my reality and the secret I’m harboring, might have her running in the other direction.
Will it all go up in flames if I take a chance on her?
I guess I’m about to find out.

All I want to do is drop off my brother’s things and leave.
When the snow doesn’t stop, I find myself trapped with Tate—my brother’s best friend.

Dani
As a bestselling romance author, most assume my life’s glamorous, filled with combustible chemistry, and most of all, romance. Ha! I can only wish. With a deadline looming, I’ve escaped to my family’s cabin on Anderson Island to free myself from distractions. My plan’s great, until a man, who could pass as a cover model on one of my books, comes to my rescue. Is there chemistry? Sure. Is he everything I’d look for in a guy? Absolutely. But will my career be at risk if I give into my desire?

Luke
For a player, women line up outside the locker room. For coaches, we’re lucky to get in the game. As the youngest NFL coach in the league, I live, eat, breathe, and even sleep football. To gear up for this season, I return to my home on Anderson Island for a much-needed break. When Dani literally crashes into my life, my mind’s suddenly on the sexy brunette with a sailors mouth, rather than my team’s next play. She has me dusting off another playbook entirely, making me wonder, did I make the right call?

Look at what I have coming up? There will be a few more things added to my schedule – so stay tuned… But this is the preliminary schedule… but you are in for a treat!

2 – He Saved My Boy – Part of the All American Boy Series Releases May 18, 2022. Davis’ story is coming!

Davis is the first guy to catch my attention since… hell I don’t even know.
Instantly, he made me think and feel things I forgot existed. It has been forever since I put my needs first, so I took the chance and let him light me up from the inside out.
Little did I know one night with him would ruin me for all others.
But then I got the dreaded call. I rushed out without a second glance, knowing I’d likely never see him again.
My son will always come first – Always.
Imagine my surprise when Davis walks in and I find he’s the only one who can save my boy.
This cannot be happening – I guess it’s time to pull up my big girl panties and see what happens.

Here is a sneak peak from Hoops & Scoops, my story featured in Fix Your Crown. Copyright © 2021 by Amanda Shelley Of course, that night ended with a hell of a lot more than a goodnight kiss. It was the first of many I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Every kiss, every touch burned me from the inside out, with his personal brand. He ruined me for all other men because no one’s even come close to making me feel the way he did. For it being our first time, it was perfect. The way he focused his attention on me and made me come alive was an out of this world experience. Eventually, my body craved him with a simple glance or smirk from across the room. He did things to me I never thought imaginable. My core clenches at the thought of it now, even after all these years. I’ve never been with anyone quite like DeShawn. He knew exactly what buttons to get me hot and bothered, yet I never needed to worry because he most certainly knew how to finish, so we both came out the victors. To him, I was the most beautiful woman in the world. It didn’t matter if I was a pixie in comparison to him. Being five foot four, blond hair, and translucent skin—that some might call pasty in comparison to his golden-brown tone.At one point, I seriously thought he could be the one. My heart pangs at the memory because with it comes reality.His mistress. The one that was never far from his mind. The one he couldn’t leave behind unless he wanted to jeopardize his D-1 scholarship. His time was torn between school, wanting to spend time with me, and his first love, basketball. At first, he was determined we could make things work. But I needed more. I wanted a man who could put me first. Who didn’t have such a tight schedule that I became someone he squeezed in. I refused to be an obligation, so I did what I thought was best.I walked away. I knew I’d never make him choose between his dream or me. I just couldn’t do it. Not only would I hate myself for turning into a woman I swore I’d never become, but he would’ve eventually resented me, and I couldn’t live with that either. No, I loved him enough to never let it come to that.  You can preorder the Fix Your Crown Anthology today, so you won’t miss out.

Samantha never saw Enzo coming.

As the dust settles from her divorce, her life is full. She doesn’t have time for distractions. She’s too busy running her own company and checking off numerous items from her kids’ demanding schedule to have a life of her own.

Then he walks into her kitchen with his breathtaking green eyes and a mischievous grin. He’s there to surprise his father – her contractor, but his presence makes everything off kilter.

Enzo’s perfectly content with his adventurous life as an elite rescue pilot, until a harmless prank turns on him. Instead of surprising his father, he finds his world thrown off course by the beautiful woman with a sexy smile, wicked sass and the mouthwatering ability to keep him on his toes.

With his limited time on leave, is she worth the risk to his heart?

I ran into Derek while trying to escape the neighbor from hell.

Want to know what my next release will be? If you’re looking for more from the Perfectly Independent Series, you’re in for a treat (pun intended) because Chloe and DeShawn are the main characters in the Fix Your Crown Anthology. You’ve met them in Drew and they’re mentioned throughout the series, but do you really know their story?

Want a sneak peek?

Here’s an excerpt. Copyright © 2021 by Amanda Shelley

(This is from Chloe’s perspective)
 

Of course, that night ended with a hell of a lot more than a goodnight kiss.

It was the first of many I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Every kiss, every touch burned me from the inside out, with his personal brand. He ruined me for all other men because no one’s even come close to making me feel the way he did.

For it being our first time, it was perfect. The way he focused his attention on me and made me come alive was an out of this world experience. Eventually, my body craved him with a simple glance or smirk from across the room. He did things to me I never thought imaginable.

My core clenches at the thought of it now, even after all these years. I’ve never been with anyone quite like DeShawn. He knew exactly what buttons to get me hot and bothered, yet I never needed to worry because he most certainly knew how to finish, so we both came out the victors.

To him, I was the most beautiful woman in the world. It didn’t matter if I was a pixie in comparison to him. Being five foot four, blond hair, and translucent skin—that some might call pasty in comparison to his golden-brown tone.

At one point, I seriously thought he could be the one.

My heart pangs at the memory because with it comes reality.

His mistress.

The one that was never far from his mind.

The one he couldn’t leave behind unless he wanted to jeopardize his D-1 scholarship. His time was torn between school, wanting to spend time with me, and his first love, basketball.

At first, he was determined we could make things work.

But I needed more. I wanted a man who could put me first. Who didn’t have such a tight schedule that I became someone he squeezed in. I refused to be an obligation, so I did what I thought was best.

I walked away.

I knew I’d never make him choose between his dream or me. I just couldn’t do it. Not only would I hate myself for turning into a woman I swore I’d never become, but he would’ve eventually resented me, and I couldn’t live with that either.

No, I loved him enough to never let it come to that. 


You can preorder the Fix Your Crown Anthology today, so you won’t miss out. 

Don’t forget, by preordering this anthology, you’ll get SEVEN FREE BOOKS and a coloring book immediately. 100% of the proceeds will go to a charity that helps women fix their own crowns as they battle breast cancer.

Drew is book one of the Perfectly Independent Series.

My heart races, palms sweat and knees go weak.
I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab.
He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook.
Then his ego shows up.Nope – No thank you.
Moving on. I mean… who has an entourage in college?
When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind – and not in a good way.
I can’t afford the type of distractions Drew brings.

Vince: Book Two of the Perfectly Independent Series

It’s funny how one night can change everything.
When Sydney walks into my life she knocks my world off kilter.
She’s strong, sexy, independent and possibly more than I can handle.
She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but my reality and the secret I’m harboring, might have her running in the other direction.
Will my perfectly laid out plans go up in flames if I take a chance on her?

Damien: Book Three of the Perfectly Independent Series

When I walk into the diner, all I’m looking for is a decent meal. As a civil engineer for the largest project on campus, I just want to eat in peace. I’m happy to find this hidden gem since students are scarce. Don’t get me wrong, co-eds on campus are beautiful, but I was over that scene when I graduated three years ago. I need to finish this job and move onto the next one by the end of the year.
Then Vanessa walks up with a simple smile and takes my breath away. The next thing I know, I’m making every excuse imaginable to dine with this intriguing woman. She’s not only smart and sexy; she’s completely focused on reaching the goals she has set for herself.The more I get to know her, the more I know she’s the one.

I just have to find a way to make her deviate from her perfectly laid plans and take a chance on me.

The day is finally here! Damien is available everywhere! Are you ready to meet the sexy engineer who’s got his sights set on Vanessa? Are you ready for a pint-sized sidekick who will completely melt your heart?

Want a peek at Vanessa’s thoughts when she’s asked to deliver something to Damien…

“Uh… why would I do that?” My words come out almost defensive.

“Oh, I don’t know…” she practically singsongs. “Maybe because he’s been coming here and flirting with you for the past month or so.”

I scoff, “He does not.”

“Uh… have you ever noticed he only sits in your section? He doesn’t talk to me the way he does you, and his eyes certainly don’t follow anyone else around the way he does with you.”

Rolling my eyes, I can’t help but laugh. “Tara, I’ve always known you’ve had a wild imagination, but I think you’ve lost it this time. Damien doesn’t do any of those things.”

“Oh, but he does.” She smirks. “Just ask Jeff. He gets a front row show from the kitchen.”

Walking back to the coffee maker, I shake my head. “You’re delusional.” But before she can prove her point and make this a public spectacle, I change the subject.

Although Damien is the third book in the Perfectly Independent Series, it can completely be read as a stand alone story. However if you’ve read my books, I think you’re going to love the cross-overs in this one. Not only do we find out more about Sydney and Vice, Abby and Drew’s story continues as well. For those of you who’ve read Making The Call, I think you’ll be in for a nice surprise as Dani and Luke’s are a huge part of Damien’s family.

Early reviews are coming in and I’m overwhelmed with the level of response. Thank you so much to everyone who’s taken the time to read, like, comment and share about Damien’s release! 

Here is what one reviewer has said…

Drew is book one of the Perfectly Independent Series. Book three, Damien Releases May 25. Get started on this series today!

My heart races, palms sweat and knees go weak.

I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab.

He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook.

Then his ego shows up.Nope – No thank you. Moving on.

I mean… who has an entourage in college?

When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind – and not in a good way.

I can’t afford the type of distractions Drew brings.

The count down to Damien is on! In just a matter of weeks, you’ll have him in your hands and in your hearts. He’s the sexy engineer who wasn’t looking for love, but little did he know the sexy waitress who brings him his meal would be the one he soon can’t live without. She comes with an added bonus – a pint sized version of herself who manages to burrow her way into Damien’s heart and keep him on the toes.

If you’ve read Vince, then you’ve met Julia and her mom Vanessa. If you haven’t, that’s okay, too. These books are a series of stand alone, but while you’re waiting you can read always read Vince to get a glimpse of what to expect in Damien. Or if you want to start from the beginning of the series, you can check out Drew.

For those of you who have read Making the Call, you’re in for quite a treat as Damien is Dani’s little brother. There is a crossover you won’t want to miss. If you remember Damien, Vanessa and Jules made a small appearance in their story, so if you’re wondering where you’ve heard his name before – now you know!

You can Preorder  Damien now and add him to your TBR so you can experience his story on release day.

I’m so excited to be have my books available on Eden Books!
