Tech-nically Love Series by Michelle Dayton Release Blitz! #NowLive @MKDaytonWriter

 



Technology complicates everything, including love. Fans who enjoy spicy, contemporary romances from authors such as Christina Lauren, Jasmine Guillory, and Sally Thorne will love the Tech-nically Love series from Michelle Dayton.


“With this addictive contemporary, Dayton balances a deeply satisfying romance with real stakes…Readers won’t want to put this down.” –Publishers Weekly, Starred Review



The Love Hack

Fans of Emily Henry will swoon for this nerdy chemistry

Just when Tess Greene’s life is finally almost perfect, her past springs one last surprise on her. Targeted by an internet predator whose sleazy website is known for publicly humiliating women, Tess has one month to stop his ambush before her reputation is forever ruined.

As an IT disaster recovery specialist, Tess has always handled challenges on her own, but this calls for serious geek backup.

Max Hampshire, a brilliant hacker, is exactly the lifeline Tess needs. But she’s pretty sure she doesn’t need Max himself—certainly not his quick wit, sexy black-framed glasses, or all-around sweetness. The last guy who helped Tess left with his life crushed and his heart broken, so she knows that keeping her emotional distance from Max would be safer for both of them. But safety isn’t an option when love gets involved.

Previously Published as Disaster Girl.


Cupid Tricks

The internet complicates everything—especially love.

Jo Harper isn’t always who men think she is. Every day she dons her psychology PhD and above-average computer skills like a super cape to right love’s wrongs. She and her team of four young women run an elite, undetectable online romance scam designed to trick married cheaters.

Jamie March, Bay Area royalty known as “The Conscience of Silicon Valley,” hates every aspect of online crime, especially those who defraud people. And when it appears that his brother is the victim of a sophisticated romance scam, he can’t stand idly by.

What’s weird, though, is that when Jo and Jamie meet, they don’t hate one another. Not at all. He makes her laugh and feel alive again. She challenges his intellect like no other. And their compatibility is off-the-charts sexy between the sheets. But enemies-to-lovers is only a fantasy.

Or is it?

The Love Clause

You can’t divorce yourself from love…

Attorney Emily Saturn needs to drown herself in work and turn off her feelings for her soon-to-be ex-husband, Bobby March.  A wave of insanity swept them into an intense whirlwind romance last fall, but the whole marriage was a mistake.

But Bobby is certain he can fix whatever has gone wrong. He’s been working on his new career and personal growth, determined to be the man his wife deserves. Confident he can get her attention, he invites Emily to a series of individually designed virtual escape rooms, each one a moment from their love story. Hopefully, the sexy, romantic trip down memory lane will spark their second chance.

Emily has never been able to resist a puzzle. Or, frankly, Bobby. The more she interacts with her husband online, the more she wants to see him again in person. Which is beyond stupid because Emily knows he’s not Mr. Right. Unless she’s wrong about everything.

Christmas Single Bells

It’s the classic holiday movie set-up, but there’s mischief behind the scenes…

Jane Zielinski plans to create her own present this Christmas. She throws herself into directing a homemade reality dating web series, Single Bells, as a publicity stunt to keep her struggling small town competitive with the ritzy resort towns luring holiday tourists. It’s the perfect way to pair up with her crush—Michael, the boy-next-door-turned-most-eligible- bachelor–and be a hometown hero.

But gorgeous Bella Bradley, Jane’s childhood BFF who skipped town when times got tough, returns with handfuls of cash and a smoking-hot business partner, Nate Wright. It’s bad enough that Bella immediately upstages Jane’s attempts to save the town’s Christmas, but she also uses the Single Bells activities to rekindle her high school romance with Michael. Furious, Jane is not above sabotage, cheating, or flirting with the mischievous Nate to win.

Maybe it’s the Christmas shenanigans, maybe it’s the holiday magic … but suddenly, Nate is a lot more than a tall, dark, handsome stranger. But is he just a mistletoe fling.

Excerpt 

Copyright 2024, The Love Hack by Michelle Dayton


But before I left…I cocked my head in Max’s direction. “You were engaged?”

He slumped back in his seat. “Yeah. It ended a year and a half ago.” His entire face tensed as though waiting for a barrage of follow-up questions.

I surprised him instead. “I was engaged once too. Seven years ago.”

Abigail pulled her face out of her champagne glass and stared at me, incredulous. “You were engaged when you were young? To a boy?” I rolled my eyes at her astonishment and nodded. “That’s hard to imagine.” She waved her hand at me. “I think of you as a sort of boozy Amazon.”

I hooted. Now that was funny. And not a terrible depiction.

“What happened?” she asked.

The waitress appeared with the check, and I handed over a bunch of cash before the others could move. “We called it off the morning of the wedding.”

I waited until their faces softened with sympathy before I added, “It was completely my fault, of course. He found out, just in the nick of time, that I wasn’t the nice girl he wanted to marry.”

Will what the pony needs break Hannah’s heart?

Freckles can’t be convinced to trot sometimes, and even though that’s fine with Hannah, she suspects something must be wrong with the pony. The barn manager thinks it’s time to retire him, so the vet is called and tests are run.

But Hannah enjoys being with Freckles even if they only walk down the trails.
She ignores the facts. When all her efforts to help him fail, she tries desperately to write a happy ending to her pony story.

Will she have to put on her big girl breeches and let Freckles take his own trail, or is she the real problem?

Fleckles’s Story


he day I was born, a vast crowd of witnesses came to meet me because I was from noble bloodlines. My royal name is Spotted Spirit. Giggly two-legged creatures reached out to touch me everywhere, fascinated with the white blanket across my rump. I was fetching. Still am, if you ask me.

The two-leggeds that Mother calls girls would rub me all over. The girls enjoyed me trying to stand on my new legs, and I didn’t let it hurt my feelings when they laughed at my falling down—which happened a lot. They cheered when I began to run and gasped when I tumbled.

 

My favorite napping spot was a patch of yellow buttercups. Mother said not to nibble on them or they’d make my stomach hurt, but the girls liked to hold them under their chins reflecting the glory of the sun. They draped me in flowers and stuck yellow bouquets into my fuzzy mane.

 

After the crowd of girls faded away, one special girl remained. Mother said she was Bonnie. When she called my name “Spirit!,” I would stop playing and run to her. When I was old enough to eat grass, my mother moved to a separate pasture with her friends. My days were spent leaping and running with other foals when I wasn’t eating. Bonnie visited me every day. The other foals crowded around her, but she loved me best. I could tell.


One day, Bonnie fitted a fine leather strapping over my head with a short rope attached and taught herself to go before me. I trusted her completely. By the time I was three, I was so used to her dressing me in whatever suited her fancy that I didn’t realize the significance of one piece of leather she placed ever so carefully on my back, but it changed everything for us.

 

She pulled the strap running under my belly tighter than she ever had before. I didn’t like it at all. I’m sad to say that, for a few minutes, I forgot about keeping her safe and thrashed around, trying to get the strap off. I pressed my head to her chest and said I was sorry about stomping on her foot, but she still cried. I was more careful of Bonnie after that. I sometimes have to make myself think instead of reverting to my wild side and acting like I don’t have any sense. I’m nothing if not sensible.

 

Later, when Bonnie jumped up and leaned across my back on that leather pad, I was shocked. Even though I wanted to leap away, I forced myself to stand still. If I’d been a pond, there wouldn’t have been the thought of a ripple in the water.

When the rug is pulled from under Detective Sloane Eckhart, she leaves the Billings PD and returns to Libby, Montana.

Eight years ago, she left with her pride and the promise of a future, but her heart was broken. On her return, there is no pride left, no prospects to speak of, but at least her heart is safely secured in the back seat.

Still, a bit of groveling, a kind offer of help, and a brand-new job with the sheriff's office quickly get her back on her feet.

High Meadow will always be home to Dan Blakely. Working with horses, being part of the HMT search and rescue team, and now building his own home right next door checks all his boxes. Only one thing is missing, but that dream walked out the door a long time ago.

Still, his life is good, steady… and perhaps a little boring.

That quickly changes when the rescue of a young teenage girl, places the new sheriff's detective squarely in his path. He's not bored now, doing his best to keep her safe, even as their past holds them back while they fight for a future.
