Kara's Story, Part 1

What a ride.

That guy—the one most girls would run away from—captured Kara's attention and wouldn't let it go. As expected, he turned out to be a player. So she cut him off...and he let her.

But he wasn't ready to give up on their futuret. He waited until the memory of their start would have been forgotten—at least, softened a bit. Then he returned to her life, and captured her heart.

Finally blissfully happy, they fall in love and decide to make it official…until his past catches up with him and he destroys her again. But this is it…this is the last time she'll fall for him.

And she keeps telling herself that until she almost believes it.

This book is for mature audiences.

Mail order brides... check!
Hot Montana men...check!
Wild Wild West...check!

Ellen Oldsmere, believing she'd killed an overly amorous suitor, agreed to become a mail order bride for a complete stranger in the Montana Territory in order to flee Minneapolis and avoid prosecution. When she arrives in August Point, her husband is all that she'd imagined, and then some. Besides being handsome and virile, he's also the town sheriff. How can she be married to a man who would surely arrest her if he found out her secret?

Ryder Graves would not fall prey to small town mothers and their eligible daughters. He demanded a wife that met certain criteria, traits women in town did not fulfill, so he sought out help from an expert--a madame with a skill for matchmaking. When Eleanor arrives from Minnesota, she meets all of his expectations. She's also headstrong and defiant, requiring a stern spanking or two to teach her, as the lawman of August Point, it is his job to keep her safe. It comes down to a matter of right from wrong. But his wife is not all she seems. Will he still want her when he learns the truth, or will his passion for the law make her face the consequences of her actions?

She’s got a million reasons to tell me no…
I’ve got a million ways to make her say yes!

I owe her an apology.
Hell broke loose last year. I earned myself a bad reputation.
I have a lot to prove.
Like I’m the man for her.
Trouble is, it’s forbidden.
We’re practically family. Her mom would freak out if she knew we were together.
So I have two goals:
Make Macy fall for me.
Keep it a secret.
I always take what I want.
From the first scorching hot kiss, she’s all I can think about.
Just when I have her where I want her, ready to be with me and to hell with the consequences—she pulls away.

She’s hiding something.
A secret.
I won’t stop until I find out what she’s hiding.
I won’t stop until she’s all mine.

Book 4 in the Forbidden Lovers series brings you Ryan and Macy’s story. Forbidden Crush is a standalone, full-length romance with burning passion, secrets, and drama. And don't forget the HEA that makes it all worthwhile.

Dear Mr. Arrogant Jerk,

You claim I stole your parking space, but that’s because you’re a smug, full-of-yourself, patronizing bonehead.
You think you’re entitled to everything you see.
Newsflash: You’re not. 
As such, you can stop staring at my a**.

Sincerely,
The girl whose day you just ruined.

That’s the letter I wish I slipped under that numbskull’s windshield wiper…
… Until I show up for my first day at my dream job, and find out Mr. Arrogant Jerk is my new boss.

Wonderful. Fantastic. Typical.

The worst part?
Martin Henderson, a.k.a. Mr. Arrogant Jerk, is devastatingly handsome.
Sinful. Brooding. 
Too attractive for his own good... or mine.
One thing is certain: I’m about to be in big, arrogant-jerk-induced trouble.

Book 2: Loathe at First Sight (Previously titled Corrupt)

Getting fired sucks.
Getting propositioned by some arrogant, self-important billionaire three seconds after getting fired?
That really sucks.

No, thank you.
I have plans with a good friend called Chardonnay, and I expect those plans to keep me occupied all evening.

One thing I don’t expect?
For Liam Maguire, the billionaire, ex-olympian that I just rejected, to offer me a job.

Not just any job. My dream job.

The only downside is that I have to spend my days working with him.

Feeling his tantalizing gaze sweep over my body.
Wondering why my thighs squeeze together whenever he’s near.
Fantasizing about all the things that I rejected when we first met.

Well, all my fantasies are about to come true…
...and that could turn my dream job into a nightmare.
As it turns out, there's a lot more to Liam than meets the eye.

Book 3: Despise at First Sight (Previously titled Ruined)

Adrian Maguire is a scumbag. Scourge of the earth. A dirty, corrupt, unscrupulous politician.
He’s the man who tried to ruin my sister’s life.

Hate, hate, hate.

You know what I despise more than Adrian?
The fact that I have no choice but to take his case. Otherwise, I’ll lose my job.

I didn’t spend years in law school to defend people like him.

So, when he strolls into my office, I’m not prepared for his presence to suck the air out of my lungs.
When his touch sends sparks flying across my skin, not ready for my heart to skip a beat.
My traitorous body burns for him, even though my mind screams at me to stop.

But I can’t.

I see another side of Adrian that he’s hidden away from everyone—even himself.

The more time I spend with him, the more I realise I was wrong.
Wrong to judge him, wrong to hate him, wrong to push him away.

But when secrets are exposed, there’s more than just my career on the line.
Adrian could destroy everything...including my fragile heart.

Love/Hate is a sizzling-hot enemies to lovers collection. Swoonworthy, heart-wrenching, and an absolute must-read bundle.

“I loved the story; I loved that it made me feel, that it turned me on, turned me off, made me pause and think, twisted my stomach into knots.” – Haydee’s Reviews

Can love come from pain?

Wanderlust is a full-length dark romance novel that explores captivity and power. Not intended for those uncomfortable with the subject matter or under 18 years of age.

A secret power...

When Caitlin Faire visits a nightclub with a friend, she expects to have fun, not suddenly develop magical abilities and learn that demons exist. Now the fearsome leaders of the paranormal underworld are chasing her, convinced she’s at the center of a supernatural conspiracy—and she has no idea why.

A forbidden love…

He’s the only one who can keep Cait safe from the demonic forces hunting her, and even though she knows his heart is off limits, she can’t fight her growing attraction to him.

A life on the line…

With enemies closing in and her loved ones in danger, can Cait trust the sexy incubus who just might risk everything to save her? Or is following her heart the most dangerous choice of all?

I should be glad I escaped, but I can’t stop thinking about the boy who thought he could lay his hands on me.
Worst of all, everyone in my new school sees the monster in the woods as a prince.
Well I’ve got news for you, Prince Briar. I’ve got nothing left to lose.

Until I showed up at school Monday morning and saw her.

But there’s no way she’ll make it out alive.

Eton didn’t tell me he had brothers.

We all have secrets.
Imagine my surprise when I saw him there.
Only later, I discovered it wasn’t striptease that enticed the triplets to the bar.

Meghan Hawthorne is restless. The last year has been a roller coaster: her widowed mother just married a long-time family friend. Her younger brother unexpectedly became a father and a husband. Everyone's life is changing. . .except for hers. As she begins her final summer of college, Meghan's looking for excitement and maybe a little romance. Nothing serious; this girl just wants to have fun.

But the only man for Meghan turns out to be the last one she expects.

Sam Reynolds doesn't need excitement, and he doesn't want romance. Fun is out of the question. He's been the steady, responsible one since his parents were killed, and serious is his way of life.

When Sam rescues Meghan alongside a dark Georgia backroad, she falls hard for his deep brown eyes and slow drawl. But making him see her as more than just a party girl won't be easy. Sam's tempted by the fiery young artist, even as he realizes that giving into his feelings will mean radical change. . .maybe more than he can handle.

Nobody ever said love was simple.

Fresh from a divorce that she never saw coming, Rachel decides to take the summer off and get away.

She heads to small-town Moonshire Bay and rents a summer cottage, hoping to have a relaxing few months and get back in touch with who she is as a single woman.

Then she meets Evan Harris, the bartender and owner of the local bar, and despite thinking she was done with love forever, she can't help but be intrigued by this handsome man.

Evan came to Moonshire Bay ten years ago to escape his past. Resigned to living his life alone, meeting Rachel is making him rethink that decision.

Can they both get leave the past behind and learn to trust again?

It was meant to be a business trip.

Check on the secluded mountain cabins my real estate firm had recently spent a bundle building. See if they could be turned into some sort of resort getaway for the rich and burned out.

As the high-powered female CEO, I would do everything I could to make the project a success.

But with three burly lumberjacks stomping around the forest, all shirtless and sweaty, muscles bulging, getting in my way, I can’t seem to get anything done.

I just want some peace and quiet so I can concentrate. But Caleb, Mark, and Todd aren’t about to give me any of that.

They have something else in mind.

Come to think of it, so do I…

Move over Joe Exotic--there’s a Tiger Queen in town.

I only visited Crazy Carl’s Zoo that day as a joke.
I certainly didn’t expect to walk away with a job offer.
But Crazy Carl is gone, leaving dozens of tigers behind.
His three sons need my help moving the animals to proper homes.
And as ambitious as their plan is, the men themselves are even more enticing.

David is the eldest brother, a jacked athlete with steel-blue eyes and a master plan for the zoo.
Anthony is a cute younger version of his brother. With his messy hair, a body full of lean muscle, and an easy sense of humor, it’s impossible not to smile when he’s around.
And Jake? He’s your typical middle child with an attitude. But the delicious tattoos covering his body make it tough to stay mad at him, especially with his propensity to work shirtless in the sun...

Now we’re working together every day.
Living under the same roof at night.
Getting hot and sweaty--and not just from taking care of the animals.
Can I resist their charm and focus on the job?
Or will I truly become the Tiger Queen?

TIGER QUEEN is a scorching reverse harem love story filled with humor, suspense, and excitement. HEA guaranteed!

Four friends. Twenty-two bridesmaids' dresses.
One random act of kindness that will change their lives forever.

Tess has given up looking for Mr. Right, but that doesn’t mean she’s given up on love. When she reads a newspaper article about a young couple who've had everything stolen from their home, including four bridesmaids dresses, she knows she has to help.

But by helping the bride, Tess risks exposing a past she doesn't want anyone to know about. She does everything she can to minimize the danger she's in, but she does the one thing guaranteed to destroy everything - she falls in love with the wrong man.

Logan Allen has spent most of his career reporting on the news from around the world. When a letter arrives from Afghanistan, the trauma he's been living with is about to explode back into his life. He betrayed a small Afghan village and Tess thinks he’s betrayed her.

From their first random act of kindness comes an experience Logan and Tess will never forget. And maybe, if they work together, they can create a future that’s better than anything they've left behind.
