"The Hating Game meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding!"
 
  You think you have a crazy family? Meet Leo Donati, a great guy from a wacky  New York Italian family, who is expected to live his life a certain way. There  are a few family rules etched in stone that he has done his best to follow:
 
  1. Attend Sunday family dinner. It’s at 2:00. Nobody knows why.
  2. Love your mother.
  3. Never tell Nonna you're full. Unless you have a death wish.
  4. Marry Italian.
  5. Family comes first. Always. Friends come and go, but family is  forever. 
 
  The only problem? He's not living his best life. Not even close. Single,  lonely, and spending way too much time at the gym burning sexual energy and  ungodly amounts of pasta, Leo hopes his life will change when his father hands  over the family business. If only things were that simple. A takeover offer on  the business puts Leo on the war path against a strikingly sexy, but overly  competitive Jewish woman who is seemingly intent on ruining his life. At least  that's how Leo sees it.
 
  As tension rises and Italian tempers flare, Leo wonders if perhaps hate isn't  the most accurate word for how he feels about his new nemesis. But it could  never work. Yeah, the pizza bagel exists, but real-life cultural divides are  more complicated than that, aren't they?
 
  Humor abounds as corporations and cultures collide. Leo tries to thwart the  takeover, find love and happiness, while also trying to avoid being bludgeoned  to death by his Nonna's wooden spoon.
 
  Love & Agita is a laugh-out loud, romantic comedy that has it all: twists,  turns, emotional depth, sparkling chemistry and hilarious banter that flies off  the page.

Grayson Avery is a romantic comedy author of The Sweet Water  Circle, published by the humor-focused imprint, Farcical Press. 

Writing is Grayson's passion. For so many people, reading is  a chore or something they don't even do, so he tries to write stories that  transform that experience for them. His focus is on creating fast-paced and  laugh-out-loud (like real LOLs, not the fake texting kind) romantic comedies  and adventures to contend with so many competing forms of entertainment. It's  his mission to be better than Real Housewives...is that even possible? 

Grayson is also an entrepreneur, a baseball coach, husband,  and father. He would like to one day bury the hatchet with his arch nemesis,  Bradley Cooper, on a Maury-Povich-themed episode of Between Two  Ferns, write a screenplay with Tina Fey, and hit the USA Today and NY  Times Bestseller's lists with massive amounts of inappropriate humor. Buy a  book, will ya? 

While he claims he is the most handsome author writing in the  rom com genre, more pictures exist of the Loch Ness Monster and Big Foot than  of Grayson. He also claims he is often mistaken for Tom Cruise's cousin and has  been featured barechested on more than a dozen naughty novels. Independent fact  checkers hired by Grayson have verified said claims.

WHAT’S ONE ITSY, BITSY, LITTLE LIE?

Cassian Anders will be the youngest  governor in Illinois history... If he wins.  

That’s all everyone seems to talk  about these days. Jolie Coldwell isn’t one of them. As a journalist, her  priorities comprise digging up dirt on crooked politicians and local cover-ups. When her latest exposé on a congressman lands her in hot water, her days are reduced to covering the senior center’s casino night.

Unexpectedly, news breaks: the on-air investigative segment needs a replacement. This promotion advance could her career.

She needs a breaking story. She needs it now.  

The road to office is ruthless compared to the courtroom. Without warning, Cassian Anders’ popularity rating falls, threatening his position on the ballot. He will do whatever it means to  secure votes. Now, not only is he engaged, but he’s getting married to his non-existent fiancée...

He’s never relied on luck, but when a  convenient but unorthodox wife falls into his lap? He makes her a deal.

He needs a wife. He needs it now.

Will Jolie and Cassian be able to  fool the public long enough? Can she handle the public poking around in her past, one she would rather keep under wraps... Above all, can she be a model first lady or are they destined to be a scandal?

THE LAST-MINUTE FIRST LADY IS A STEAMY MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE ROMANCE. PERFECT FOR READERS WHO LOVE OUTRAGEOUS IN-LAWS, HONEYMOONS TO NAPA VALLEY, AND CROOKED POLITICIANS. THIS NOVEL CONTAINS CURSING AND SEX SCENES, AND INTENDED FOR AUDIENCES 18 YEARS AND OLDER.

“A dirty martini, please.”

The bartender’s eyes went down to Jolie’s cleavage before disappearing to make her drink. If only Jolie were twenty-one again, maybe she would give the bartender the time of day. But she was thirty, and if she wanted a partner; it had to be a man that was steady in his career. Reliable. Caring. And it would help if they looked like Cassian Anders…

The bartender passed her a drink, and she forced herself to relax as she took a long sip. The familiar throat-burning sensation of the gin lit a fire down to her belly. There was a commotion from the entryway, and several people clapped. The hair rose on her arms as she noticed who had walked in.

Cassian Anders.

If she thought he was handsome before, he was downright sexy now.

A suppressed anger pulsated off him. He couldn’t hide it from her. She had too much practice observing and studying body language. His black curls shined under the dim light, his muscle shifting under his suit like a panther as he crossed the room in long strides, nodding as a grin crossed his features. God bless his fiancée.

His thick brow slanted downwards as he commanded attention in the room. He stopped and talked to everyone, plastering a smile on his face as he continued to move with a purpose toward the bar. Toward her.

He was definitely a politician in the making. Giving each person his sole attention, making them feel special. Under the lull of the jazz music playing, she could hear his deep voice rumble.

Forcing her gaze forward, she told herself she didn’t like how his deep, husky voice did strange things to her body. It didn’t help that his announcement from a few days ago was playing silently on a TV in the room.

She wasn’t sure why she ducked her head. Jolie never ran from a fight or cowered for anyone, but she felt severely outnumbered in a room full of his supporters.

“EJ, my man, get me a double Scotch. Neat.”

Forcing herself to relax, from the corner of her eyes, she watched him pass a sleek black card to the bartender. She caught a whiff of his musky cologne and inhaled subtly.

“Miss Coldwell, how nice to see you again,” he said in a silky voice.

Tinia (TUH-NIA) Montford is a Pisces who’s a sap for romance, especially when there’s (tons of) kissing. Loves eighties sitcoms and will consume anything with chocolate. She graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in English and Graphic Design.

She is a world traveler having climbed a volcano in Nicaragua, scaled Angkor Wat in the blistering sun, and roamed the Acropolis of  Athens. Oh, she also dabbles in short stories occasionally. 

If you can’t catch her writing, you can bet she’s overindulging on poke bowls, listening to the same four songs, or chilling with her adorbs doggie. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Fiction.
