Connection Error
By Annabeth Albert
It’s typical of video game programmer Josiah Simmons to be the last one on the plane on the way to
the biggest meeting of his career. Though he’s (mostly) coping with his ADHD, he can’t handle
another distraction. But he also can’t ignore his rugged seatmate—especially once he learns the
military man’s a fan of his game.
Ryan Orson refuses to let his severe injuries pause his career as a navy SEAL. He’s got hours of
grueling physical therapy ahead of him, and no time for anything that might get in the way of his
return to active duty. But that doesn’t mean he’s above a little first-class flirtation with geeky-cute
Josiah.
When a delay strands the pair in St. Louis, they agree to share a hotel room and a night of gaming.
Neither expects their new connection to move to the next level in the light of day. Opposites may
attract, but is this game over before it’s even begun?

Dear Reader,
I write these letters months in advance, so when reading this, you’re thinking about September
weather, but while writing it, I’m still trying to survive May’s downpour. That means that sometimes I
miss the opportunity to tell you about the cool things we’re doing until months later.
The Carina Press Romance Promise is one of those things. Implemented this past June, the promise is
simple—we’re promising an HEA or HFN on our books tagged with the Carina Press Romance
Promise in the book’s description. While we firmly believe in the necessity of a romance ending in an
HEA, we also realize that in today’s publishing world, others may sometimes call a book a romance,
but then the ending might not always deliver on the most important of romance reader expectations.
So the Carina Press Romance Promise doesn’t mean we’re doing anything different with our
romance, just that we’re reaffirming our commitment to you, the reader, to deliver an HEA or HFN in
our romance books. Visit our website if you’re curious to find out more about this promise.
This month, we have a variety of romance to kick off your fall, including one debut contemporary
romance author with two back-to-back releases. Take one young fallen starlet, add one older Sexiest
Man Alive costar and you have the makings of a Hollywood Hot Mess by Evie Claire. And since we
know how agonizing the wait for book two in a duology can be, the very next week we’re giving you
the second part of Carly and Devon’s story, where they’ll have to overcome ruthless Hollywood
execs, a blackmailing show-mance fiancée and merciless tabloids in what could be a Total Trainwreck
before they get to their happily-ever-after.
Historical romance author Amanda Weaver brings another Grantham Girls tale this month with A
Reluctant Betrothal. Grace’s last chance at a respectable marriage is about to be thwarted by her
betrothed’s best friend, and as she fights for her engagement, she finds herself falling in love with the
wrong man. Don’t miss the other books in this series, A Duchess in Name and A Common Scandal.
This September, we have three fantastic male/male contemporary romances to share, including one
debut author! Annabeth Albert introduced you to the #gaymers in Status Update and Beta Test. This
month she wraps up the trilogy with Connection Error. When a snowstorm strands a video game
designer and an injured navy SEAL together at an unfamiliar airport, the two bond while playing
games, but when the heat between the pair starts rising, they must work to decide if there’s a future
together or if it’s game over on this fling.
Can childhood best friends Marc and Anthony make a real relationship work after eight life-altering
years apart? Find out in Say It Right, from fan-favorite male/male romance author A.M. Arthur.
And introducing debut author Sidney Bell with her absolutely fantastic male/male romantic suspense
novel, Bad Judgment, in which bodyguard Brogan Smith is drawn into a maze of murder and illegal
guns when he falls for his dangerous new client’s gorgeous, secretive boyfriend.
That wraps up September but don’t forget we have a significant backlist of more than 1,000 titles
across romance, mystery, science fiction and fantasy to help carry you through the chilly fall nights!
Check out some you may have missed, including contemporary romances Chain of Command by
HelenKay Dimon and Second Position by Katherine Locke, historical romance The Fighter and the
Fallen Woman by Pamela Cayne, erotic romance One Cut Deeper by Joely Sue Burkhart and romantic
suspense Blamed by Edie Harris.
As always, until next month, my fellow book lovers, here’s wishing you a wonderful month of books
you love, remember and recommend.
Happy reading!
