From USA Today best-selling authors W Winters and Amelia Wilde comes a sinful romance with a touch of dark and angst that will keep you gripping the edge of your seat … and begging for more.

I should have known when I couldn’t keep my eyes off her that this would be a mistake.

I was hired to protect her, this woman who’s lost everything yet there’s an obvious fire that blazes behind her beautiful gaze. She stares back, daring and tempting me. It calls to a side of me that’s darker and longs to tame her.

We both have secrets, we both have a past we’re not ready to face. More than that, we both want to get lost in each other, falling into a forbidden game of control and power. Of submission and dominance.

The moment she agrees to my terms, I know I’ve crossed a line. One of many rules I’m willing to break. No one can know, not a soul, but secrets in the life I lead never last for long.

After my abusive ex, I just want a new life.
No drama and no distractions.
Too bad life has other plans.

I’ll just keep my head down and do my job. I’m not here to make friends.
Collin, strong and sexy, makes me feel safe for the first time.
I can’t get him out of my mind. And I can’t keep my hands off him.
We fall for each other hard and fast.
Trouble comes along, ready to spoil my new beginning.
His family secret.
My ex rearing his ugly head.
A pregnancy I didn’t plan on.

Was I too greedy? Will I lose everything I’ve come to love?
Or will Collin and I show everyone we’re a force to be reckoned with?

"This book is mean and kinky, desperate and romantic...I was consumed." - KC Caron, Goodreads Reviewer

Edward Fasbender is a devil.

He's my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one.

And now Edward Fasbender wants me.

I didn't expect to want him back.

Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn't mean I can't play with him a bit.

Except, I've never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter.
They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds.

Even if it'll get me slain.

"Oh my. I was hooked. You won't be able to put this down!" - Aleatha Romig, NYT Bestselling Author

Rivalry is book one in New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Laurelin Paige, dark and edgy Slay series.

When my football coach father transferred me to Chicago North University, he asked for two things:
1. Pretend to be one big happy family to shine up his tarnished public image.
2. Don’t date his footballers.

Easy enough. Football was his world. Theatre was mine.
But when the star quarterback starts showing up everywhere I go, it gets harder and harder to resist his charms.

Enter, Junior Morgan.
Exit, my clothes.

If my father finds out we broke his rules, he’ll make life difficult for both of us.

Walking away isn’t as easy as it looks.
Not with Junior’s kiss on my lips.
His hand caressing mine.
His baby inside of me.

Congratulations, quarterback. You scored.
Now what?

Babies make four? No way.

Just because Brett helped me when my car broke down,
Doesn’t mean I can trust him,
I can’t let him in, even if I want to.

Caught in the rain, we shelter at his cabin.
One thing leads to another,
And we’re carried away in the storm.

My past shows up, bringing danger with it.
Brett protects me, keeps me close.
Now, despite everything, I never want to leave.

A surprise pregnancy leaves me gasping for air.
Brett thinks he’ll be a terrible father just like his was.
What if he doesn’t want this baby?
I have to tell him the truth.
If my psycho ex doesn’t get to me first.

The web of lies she’s forced to weave could destroy them both…

FBI Special Agent Elizabeth Ward did her job, and did it well. Her undercover work brought down a mobster’s empire. Her reward? A bullseye on her back, betrayal burning like battery acid in her veins, and a life on the run.

A remote Montana ranch was supposed to be a safe haven to begin reclaiming her life. Which doesn’t include a man as solid as a mountain, with sapphire eyes and a slow, sexy drawl that curls inside her in a way she hasn’t felt in far too long.

Nat Sullivan smells trouble coming in the Triple H’s cold mountain air. And this time it’s not the repo men sneaking in to take his prized horses. It’s a beautiful woman with wide eyes, dark hair, and skin pale as snow.

Together, the damaged agent and struggling rancher find common ground…and a healing passion neither expected. But when a killer with a lust for revenge tracks Elizabeth down, the secrets she must unleash to survive could destroy everything they both love…

Hotshot firefighters, smokin’ hot heroes & smart, sassy heroines! Dive into 4 swoon-worthy small town romances in this collection from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

Burn For Me
One alpha man. One sassy woman. A fire that won’t die. Once upon a time, Amelia was my everything. Until I lost her. Now I have a second chance, and I want her back.
One look and the years apart go up in smoke. She’s all I ever wanted. A snappy attitude and the nerve to bring me to my knees.

Slow Burn
I put out fires for a living. I can take some heat. Maisie drives me crazy. She’s smart-mouthed and sarcastic. This town’s too small for both of us. But she works for me. Unfortunately.
She's brash and beautiful and tempts me beyond distraction. There are different kinds of fire, and this one will make her melt.
There’s only one problem: this fire might be too hot for both of us.

Burn So Bad
Lucy hates me. She especially hates how much I want her.
But she can’t be bothered to even give me the time of day. I should give up the chase, but I can’t.
It’s more than a spark between us. It’s a bonfire. Fate rolls the dice and lands Lucy right where I want her. She needs my help, and I need her.

Hot Mess
Susannah is the only woman who’s ever tested my control. Fighting fires is my life, but I can’t put out the fire between us.
I tell myself I can keep my distance, tell myself it’s nothing more than a little fun. She fills every corner of my thoughts, kicks my control to the curb.
Still, I have this. I can handle her. Then I find out she’s pregnant—with our baby.

These stories are perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, second chances, friends to lovers, smart sassy heroines, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, opposites attract, slow burn, surprise pregnancy, emotional romances with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and protective grumpy heroes.

Being immortal doesn’t mean you can’t die. It just means you’re damn hard to kill.

When Alexei Medvedev joined the Forgotten Brotherhood—paranormals hired to assassinate other paranormals—he knew it wouldn’t be a cake walk. But his next target is one of Death’s own Reapers gone rogue. For the first time since he started this gig, “damn hard to kill” feels more like “damn near impossible.”

Tracking Cassie Dobbs brings him to a remote bar in small-town Alaska, where this hot-as-hell Reaper is casually serving drinks, as if she doesn’t have a bounty on her head from Death himself. Alexei is dangerously intrigued. Everyone in the Brotherhood knows the first rule: don’t fall for your target.

But Alexei soon has bigger problems to face than an unexpected attraction. They only send assassins after those who deserve to die…or so he’s been made to believe. Now that he’s met Cassie, though, he’s not so sure.

What if everything he’s been told is a lie, and the person he’s been sent to kill is the only one who knows the truth?

Bad Night Stand

The man had seemed so innocent in the bar—hot, hard, and possessing a butt that I wanted to bite like the last chocolate chip cookie in my stash.

Of course, he’d also skipped town, leaving me woefully unsatisfied. That was before the news of a failed IUD. Before the plus sign. Before Jordan showed back up determined to make that night up to me.

I didn’t want a baby or a payday or a sexy, stubborn man in my life. I wanted to go back in time and pretend none of it had happened.

Unfortunately, my life had become all about that plus sign . . . and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it.

Bad Breakup

The first sign of trouble was the rough, masculine voice. The second was the Scottish accent. God, Cecelia loved Scottish accents. Colin McGregor was her every fantasy come to life. And Cecelia had been in love with him. Twice.

Then had her heart broken. Twice.

Well, the third time wasn’t the charm and CeCe wasn’t going to be stupid about Colin. Not again. Not now that she knew better.

But had anyone informed Colin of that fact?

Bad Husband

Heather O’Keith is the biggest, baddest female CEO around. Known for being tough as nails, fair to a fault, and a shark when it comes to securing contracts for her business, RoboTech, she’s also lonely.

Not that she would tell anyone else that . . . least of all one Clay Steele—sexy, smart, cold, and a man with a business acumen that both matches and sometimes surpasses her own.

But then Heather realizes that she may not be the only lonely one. The big lug who seems to enjoy tormenting her in the business world also has a soft side. And when that part of him is wholly directed at her, she gets stupid.

Stupid finds her waking up hungover and naked in Clay’s bed. With a giant diamond ring. On her left hand.

Oh lord, what has she done?

Bad Date: A Never Before Released Novella

Blind dates were the absolute worst.

Awkward, filled to the brim with small talk, and they never, ever worked out. Kay knew all that. Yet for some reason, she still had agreed to let Heather set her up.

Maybe it was because Heather O’Keith had rescued her when some idiot had dropped half a Venti Frappuccino on her laptop, saving her nearly-completed novel and befriending her in the process. Maybe Heather was just a force to be reckoned with. Or maybe, it was because Kay had serious pushover tendencies.

But when the date came, Kay found herself alone at a table for almost an hour before she called it quits. She’d been stood up. Yup, that was just perfect.

Her night was shot, she was behind on her word count, but then . . . she quite literally ran into tall, dark, and handsome outside the restaurant. One look at him and Kay thought that perhaps her night might be salvaged after all.

Until she discovered tall, dark, and handsome was a jerk. Until she discovered that jerk was her missing blind date—her rude and insufferable date who blew right by her as if she didn’t exist.

What. The. Hell?

I’ve never been afraid of the dark, because I am relentless in the night.
This world, my world, is a black hole of death and despair.
No one knows it better than me.

But my Alyson Scarpati is a blinding light.
Her innocence captured my heart the moment I saw her.
She vanquishes the shadows and leaves an uneasiness burning inside me.

Her father wants to give her away as a gift to the highest bidder?
But all he wants is a profitable alliance.
Not if I have anything to say about it.
Her protection is my reverence.

And when she tells me about our little secret
nothing, not even our families will get in the way.

She’s my Little Lamb.
And I will be her Lion.

Sometimes a real hero lets you save yourself . . .

Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn’t be more different. She’s country club and fine-dining, he’s cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation while Zeb spends his working with his hands. But none of that has stopped Zeb from wanting the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her—even if the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest.

Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior. When he shows up at Sayer’s door needing her professional help, she’s both disappointed and relieved that she won’t get the chance to find out just how good he could be.

But as they team up to right a wrong and save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide cannot be ignored.

“Crownover weaves a tale that touches every emotion and keeps the pages turning.” —Liliana Hart, New York Times bestselling author

Bestselling author Susan Ward’s newest installment of the Parker Saga features a British prince and a rock star’s daughter in a slow burn holiday romance filled with heart, heat, and humor.

I never expected my life with Damon to take an unexpected turn that could rock even my family. What Damon set in motion was the last thing I expected.

He was the man of my dreams.

He made me live them.

I should probably have said no, but my heart made my mouth say yes because Damon had become my everything.

One night. One perfect night before Christmas.

It starts with tickets to a holiday-themed rock show. A winter night in the snow-clad city with my best friend and my perfect girl.

Naomi is stunning, vibrant, and as wild as she is beautiful.

Diego is my rock, my loyal companion, my best friend for life.

Tonight, the three of us will celebrate like no other. Tonight, we’ll dance, and drink hot toddies, and spend the night wrapped in each other’s arms.

I’m going to savor it. Every minute. Because tonight might be my last night alive.

Note from the author: This is a spin-off novel from Truth or Dare series. Otto is all grown up, falling in love, and getting into trouble. You don't have to read the Truth or Dare Duet first, but it's highly recommended as it contains major plot spoilers. This book has Christmas shenanigans, steamy MMF scenes (and m/m scenes), and a gut-punch of feels.

This former all-star never knew Christmas could be so competitive.

Former baseball star Trey Prentice is happily adjusting to life as a bookstore owner in his hometown of Sweet Ridge, Texas. While he loved his competitive and elite lifestyle in New York, he craved a quiet life with friends and family more. As Christmas approaches, Trey is excited to decorate his newest venture and participate in the town’s holiday traditions. He never expected to find himself battling Sweet Ridge’s very own Miss Christmas. Game on.

The only thing librarian Maggie Watson loves more than books is Christmas. She’s even earned the nickname of Miss Christmas because she decorates shop windows and spreads Christmas cheer around town. But this year she’s got some competition. No way is she going to let the cocky Trey Prentice take away her Christmas crown, even though he makes her heart flutter.

When their verbal sparring turns to flirting, Maggie finds there’s more to life than books and Christmas. But will her past insecurities steal her newfound happiness?

Can A Woman’s Fire Melt A Navy SEAL’s Icy Heart?

Navy SEAL Thaddeus Jonsson is the strong, silent type. He’s assigned as bodyguard to Jana, a fiercely independent and outspoken woman with a secret worth a lot of money. And she’s not pleased that her overprotective grandmother hired protection for her. Even if he is the image of a Viking, all six feet three of him. She fights against his intrusion into her life.

˃˃˃ WHEN SHOTS ARE FIRED, JANA REALIZES SHE NEEDS THADDEUS MORE THAN SHE THOUGHT.

Thaddeus was trained to be alone, and after years of deployment can’t envision losing his heart to a woman. He’s clear on one thing: he’s not marriage material. But Jana affects him as no woman has. He’s bound to protect her, but will he stay when the danger is over?

˃˃˃ THE FIRE AND ICE OF JANA AND THADDEUS EXPLODE IN THIS THRILLING ROMANCE!

Like the Land of Fire and Ice, their Icelandic homeland, their personalities clash. Will destiny give love a chance?
