“Some boys can get rough, some don’t always listen when you tell them to stop, and some boys, they’re just monsters. You gotta be careful who you play with…” ~ Jax Declan

I’m a tease, always have been. In my teens, Jax Declan tried to warn me about staying away from the bad boys. The only boy I ever wanted was Jax. But, no matter how much I tried to play with him, he rejected me.
I haven’t seen Jax Declan in years. A couple friends and I are going back to the Bayou for the summer. A little older now, and a bit wiser, I’ve decided that I’m going to find my teenage crush and I’m going to break him. This summer Jax Declan will play with me.

But the closer I get and the more I learn about the reserved, discreet, and sexy Jax Declan. Well, I’m starting to think that Jax Declan might just be one of those bad boys he tried to warn me about all those years ago.

Writer’s block. A critical deadline. A blizzard and a couple of dangerous escaped fugitives on the loose. What else could go wrong?

Try being forcibly removed from my rental cabin by a couple of mouth-droppingly sexy men from the ranger patrol, insisting it was for my own good. Own-good my ass! I had work to do and they were seriously messing with my timeline. I could handle myself, thank you very much.

She can’t remember.

Honor Thomas can’t remember what happened. Someone abducted her. Shackled her. And somehow, miraculously, she escaped. She just doesn't remember who, or how, or why.

A gorgeous, mysterious man dragged her out of a raging river deep in the Oregon mountains. He looks dangerous…he is dangerous. But something about him draws her irresistibly, igniting a hunger so strong she barely recognizes herself.

He can’t forget

Former SEAL Matt Walker was dishonorably discharged for the crime of protecting the innocent. Now he’s licking his wounds in a remote mountain retreat, minding his own goddamn business. The last thing he expects is to have to drag a half-dead woman out of a torrential river. A stunningly beautiful woman.

Honor is amazing. Smart, tough, brave. She slipped her shackles and somehow escaped from her cruel captors. She doesn't know how or why. Whatever it is that she did, whatever she does or doesn’t remember about what happened—those filthy bastards who tried to hurt her are going down, and he’s just the man to make it happen.

But now the stakes are bigger than either of them ever imagined. While their passion rages, they must race the clock to stop a devastating attack against their country. …

Trapped in his tiny mountain cabin, she didn't expect to fall for his big heart.

Exposing a prominent criminal family with an investigative news report didn’t exactly work out the way Sabrina had hoped. Instead of basking in the glory of her article’s success, she’s on the run from a powerful man who wants her dead. To stay safe, she’s forced to trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he isn’t the slightest bit interested in a city girl like her.

Beau likes his life quiet and simple. Give him a peaceful day hiking in the woods with his dog, and he’s a happy man. He has no use for large crowds, noisy cities or dramatic women. So when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe. Bringing her into his world won’t be easy, but if he can convince her that Montana isn’t as terrifying as she believes, they might just be the perfect match.

Five years ago, I surrendered my V-card to a man twice my age,

And today he’s back – as my mommy’s fake boyfriend!

Spencer has no clue about how I still feel about him.

Those gray eyes, his tempting touch.

He’s all I want.

And I want him all to myself.

But this will cause a huge scandal,

And scandal’s not something I can afford.

Not when I’ve been hiding a huge secret.

Fate has given us a second chance,

I know, it’s complicated.

But I want to make it simpler.

I want to tell him that he is my baby daddy.

Will he leave my mother for me if I told him the truth?

Each Completion Sports Book is a standalone novel. GOAL has a brief appearance from the characters in PLAY.

She'll juggle your balls.
For Stella Allesandro, chaos is good. She's a rising star at a leading sports publicity firm. She's known throughout the industry as the jock whisperer--the one who can tame the baddest of the bad boys in professional sports without losing her signature smile.

But Cal Hartshorn is an entirely different kind of chaos.

He'll fix your broken heart.
This former Army Ranger and now-famous cardiothoracic surgeon fails at nothing...except talking to a woman he's adored from afar. Whether on the battlefield or operating room, he's exacting, precise, and efficient, but all of that crumbles when Stella is in sight.

Cal always knows--and gets--what he wants, and now he wants all of her. His forever girl.

But Stella isn't convinced she's anyone's forever.

He’s hot.

Hard muscle, toned abs and the strongest, most irresistible arms…

But he’s 42 years old.

As if that age gap wasn’t enough…

He’s also my best friend’s dad!

I know… She’s going to kill me if she finds out.

But do I care?

Not really.

Her dad will always be my first love…

My only love.

I’ll just have to make up a story for my best friend.

Yeah, my secrets are definitely piling up.

But there’s one secret that’s going to be hard to keep

…because it’ll be out in the open in nine months!

Knox...

Each inch of this rough waterman is hot, smooth, wet, and hard, and every woman who's laid eyes on him is dying to taste his tattoos. But he knows in his heart there's only one girl out there for him, and he's been waiting for the chance to reclaim what he knows is rightfully his.

But when dangerous forces threaten them and their home, it will take every bit of their loyalty, courage, and spirit to protect everything they love. Will they be able to cling to each other and conquer the storm, or will unknown enemies pull them apart, and destroy everything they love?

If you adore hot men, strong women, and beautiful locations then set sail through dangerous waters with the residents of Craving Cove, and take a trip to HEA in this hot and steamy second chance "contemp-erotic romance" that you'll never forget!

I always finish the job. Until Violet.

Violet

I think I found him. The man who doesn’t fear my father.

Xavier Dyer takes tall, dark, and dangerous to new levels. He steals my breath and sets my heart to pounding. The cold steel of his gun should frighten me.

I’d like to say I tried to stay away, but I’d be lying. He sucks me in with every breath, using his body, his hands, his voice to seduce me.

He commands me in the bedroom and leaves me wrecked.

Until I discover who he really is. And just how he came to find me.

The bastard lured me in and gave me the one thing I desperately needed. He knew I would let him do whatever he wanted to me.

Right up until that final second.

Xavier

She has no idea what I really am.

Violet Wynn is the daughter of a monster. Her billionaire father will be to blame for her death. He deserves it.

Violet started off like every other job to me. She was nothing more than a target. A paycheck. But then I touch her, taste her, and devour her. All I want is more.

As the hours tick by, I start to question whether or not I’ll be able to pull the trigger at the end.

But I must. It’s her or me. That’s the only way this can end.

And if I have to string her along?

So be it. I’m a Shade. Nobody escapes my wrath.

Not even Violet.

Dark Dream is the first book in Xavier & Violet’s story. Their story continues in Dark Lover.

It was a one-night stand five years ago.

As much as I hated myself for thinking about Emelia, I couldn’t help it.

But she left town and life went on.

I married someone else and started living.

I thought we were both happy. I was wrong.

My ex-wife walked out on me and our son, not wanting domestic anything.

So I did the only thing I could.

I started over.

A single dad with my focus on my boy and my job teaching kiddos.

Until Emelia came back to town and got a job teaching at my school.

Then everything changed.

All those memories came rushing back in.

What we were supposed to be if that one night had turned into more.

Beautiful. Clever. Funny. With a body made for loving and a heart of gold.

I didn’t know what had been missing from my life until I kissed her again.

Her.

But she has a secret from our night together that threatens to change everything.

Seems I don’t have just one son.

I have two.
