It’s all a bunch of bullshit.

Nothing I say or do is real anymore. And I get paid for it.

My whole life has been lived behind the bright lights of Hollywood.

And I’m living proof that money can’t buy love.

My situation is complicated enough, but then a sweet girl from the local college scores a part as my co-actor in a new blockbuster film.

These people are going to eat her alive. Or are they?

Poverty has made her tough, but she’s in for the ride of her life if she thinks she’s got this gig in the bag.

I’ll play the part I’ve been handed and love her like a madman on screen, but when the lights dim?

No thanks. I’m not interested. No matter how badly my heart aches when she walks in the room.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, you never let them see behind the curtain.

Especially if you love them.

A hot and sweet forbidden romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely...

Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move…
1. She works with me every single day.

Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.

Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means…
3. She's the nanny.

And that makes her completely off-limits…But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her. All of her.

*****

I can't risk my job for a chance at something more…can I? But I don’t know how to resist him much longer either…

With all the heat, heart and humor readers have come to expect, this newest Lauren Blakely standalone will make you laugh, swoon and feel like you’re falling in love!

Austen Marlowe learned all she needed to know about jocks back in high school: they might be tall, muscular, and hot as hell ... but you can never trust 'em. Valuable life experience for someone who dates hockey players for a living.

As the host of Date with a Devil, the young journalist is called into action when the captain of the Dallas Devils insults the team's few remaining fans. Austen's mission? To save the athlete's beleaguered reputation.

He’s completely wrong. All I want in my life is a good woman and a family.

I’m not like other guys, and I’m damn proud of it.

Scarlet O’Hanley isn’t like any other women I’ve met. Oh, she’s beautiful and classy like lots of girls.

But she owns a bar. And this beauty is tough, witty, and keeps the men around her on their toes.

An elite warrior struggling to find his place in the civilian world.

Town vet Sierra Buchanan has known Beckett her entire life. She’s crushed on him for years, but because of his relationship with her family, the stubborn man refuses to see her as more than the girl he grew up with.

When Sierra becomes the target of his unforeseen enemy, Beckett must vanquish his demons to save her.

WANTED: Shared girlfriend for exclusive 3-on-1 live-in relationship.

The ad was right there in black and white, sending a flock of butterflies fluttering through my stomach. 'Three young authors seeking an extremely open-minded female for an exclusive, sinful, and very unorthodox arrangement.'

Only these weren't any three authors. These were my employers. The same three hot guys I'd been working for as a personal chef, at their secluded Spanish villa.

And they were absolutely gorgeous.

There was Chase, dark-haired and beautiful, with a supermodel's face and a whole ocean of ripped abdominals I could sink my teeth into.

Nathan was his mirror image, the wavy-blond surfer with a panty-melting smile... not to mention a lithe, impossibly tan body I just wanted to hold against me.

Rounding them out was Burke; tall and brooding. A muscle-bound giant with smarmy good looks and a matching, razor-sharp wit. A total monster... inside the bedroom and out.

Their ad doesn't even seem real... until it actually is. Until I'm goaded into answering it, unable to bear the thought of another female just wandering in and being this insanely lucky.

Three of them... one of me. Sharing me. Possessing me. The guys are just too hot, too perfect.

Too mine.

THE ARRANGEMENT is a sizzling, stand-alone reverse harem love story filled with humor, suspense, and sweltering MFMM menage sex, in single and multiple partner scenes, hot enough to melt your kindle. HEA guaranteed.

“You may be faking the relationship, but you’re not faking the orgasms.”

Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn’t wait to escape twenty years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.

Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?

Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal’s office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi—for a price. The Deal: He’ll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.

Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it’s all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There’s too much history. Rock bottom can’t turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?

Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.

Rockstars don't chase college students.

But Jax Jamieson’s never followed the rules.
I wonder why he's here.
I wonder what took him so long.
I wonder what he's going to do to me when I get off this stage.

BAD GIRL is part 2 in the new adult rock star trilogy WICKED! Jax and Haley’s romance begins in Good Girl and concludes in Wicked Girl.

I try hard to never stay in one place too long.

Traveling is in my blood. Thankfully, I have billions to burn through.

But there’s something about the Winter Moon Lodge.

And my heart? Not an option.
He's about to figure out, I'm not the same girl he left behind.

An all wolf-shifter police force has been the only thing between humans and an unknown evil for centuries, but the pack is in danger of dying if they don't find their promised mates soon.

Trevor Burbank is a shifter cop in a world of humans who don't know the evil that wants them dead. If he does his job well, the humans will never need to know, but he feels like he's working against the clock, because his pack is about to die. The females have all been killed, and the half-breeds they make when they mate with humans aren't skilled or strong enough to fight.

Gabriela Carmi has lost everything that means anything to her way too fast and now she feels like she’s losing her mind, too. On a quest to find something that won't reveal itself to her, she feels as if she’s pining for someone who may not exist, so when an evil presence begins to follow her, she isn't sure if her mind is slowly falling apart, or if the impossible is actually coming true. When an instant attraction sparks between her and the dangerously sexy police officer sent to help her, it makes matters worse and better at the same time.

It's a race against time to find the angel/human hybrid One True Mates that the pack's spiritual leaders say truly exist. Saving the shifter clans is on everyone's mind, except for the chosen, the One True Mates, most of whom don’t even know who or what they really are, or why they seem to be slowly losing their minds.

You've NEVER read a shifter romance, or a fated mates romance like this before.

This is a republication of One True Mate 1, after a rights reversion back to Lisa Ladew.

“Once again, Garwood delivers another suspenseful, highly entertaining and romantic story line in Wired.”—Associated Press

A beautiful computer hacker and a bad-boy FBI agent must collaborate—in more ways than one—in this sexy, suspenseful New York Times bestseller.

Allison Trent doesn’t look like a hacker. In fact, when she’s not in college working on her degree, she models on the side. But behind her gorgeous face is a brilliant mind for computers and her real love is writing—and hacking—code. Her dream is to write a new security program that could revolutionize the tech industry.

Hotshot FBI agent Liam Scott has a problem: a leak deep within his own department. He needs the skills of a top-notch hacker to work on a highly sensitive project: to secretly break into the FBI servers and find out who the traitor is. But he can’t use one of his own. He finds the perfect candidate in Allison. Only, there’s one problem—she wants nothing to do with his job and turns him down flat. 

What Liam doesn’t know is that Allison is hiding secrets that she doesn’t want the FBI to uncover. But Liam will do nearly anything to persuade her to join his team, even break a few rules if that’s what it takes. A temptation that could put his job—and both of their futures—on the line...
