I came to Mountainside Hospital to escape.

A mountain of debt.
An addict father.
A disloyal family.

This place is supposed to be my chance to start over, get out of debt, and if I stick around five years, I’ll be living the new American dream - no student loans.

But a cocky hotshot surgeon gunning for my job - chief of surgery - is determined to get in my way.

He thinks he can have my job - and me - but this town isn’t big enough for the two of us.

And I’m not going anywhere.

Kelly Collins welcomes you to Cross Creek where hate is a four-letter word but so is love. One has the power to destroy, the other to heal.

Kandra brought me to my knees when she fled Cross Creek. I was broken, beaten, and bruised, but I picked up the pieces and built a new life—one free of heartache. I thought she was in the past and would stay there, but I thought wrong—she's back. If I'm not careful, she'll gut me again, and as much as she stole my heart, she left behind this longing. What happens if I let her in again? What if she...

I escaped small-town life, searching for more, and thought I found it. I lived the life I dreamed of, big city, great job, doting boyfriend. It's funny how quickly dreams turned into nightmares. My ex-boyfriend fooled me into believing I could have everything, but he left me with nothing. I loved, I lied, and I left, never imagining I'd wind up back in Cross Creek, scared, alone, and pregnant. Now, I'm here, with my heart in my hand, begging for Noah's forgiveness.

Is it too late to have it all, or will there be a second chance for us?

Find out in Broken Hart, the first book in the long-awaited Cross Creek Series.

In a world where everything isn't black and white, survival depends on trust...

Lacey Stewart was a normal woman with a mundane job at a DC art gallery. But that was before. Before a man was stabbed in front of her. Before someone tried to kill her. Now, Lacey needs help. She just never expected that help to come from the only man she’s ever truly loved. The man she can’t have…

Retired Marine Special Operator Deep Del Toro knew the men who had Lacey in their sights were professionals. He also knew the cops and the FBI couldn’t keep her safe. What he didn’t know was just how far he’d go to protect the woman he loved. And as it turned out, there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her.

Before Lacey and Deep can claim their happily ever after, they’ll need to unravel an international web of interconnected crimes in a world where right and wrong so often overlap. It won’t be easy. But they’re in far too deep to back out now…

In Too Deep is an action adventure, military romance, mystery thriller suspense filled with spies, conspiracies, and international terror. Grab your copy and join the fight for survival.

Repeat after me… No one can find out.
No one.
Especially not the press.

My boss broke her heart… and now it’s become my job to protect her.
Protect her body, not her heart.
Although, I’m up for the other task as well.
But first, I’ll punish her if she gets herself into trouble.
Punish her in a way that she’ll love.
In a way that she’ll never forget.
Her curves beg for me to teach her a lesson.
To leave my mark on her.
But being a councilwoman’s bodyguard doesn’t entitle me to anything.
I have to keep my hands off her.
A damaged man can’t be trusted around her.
Especially if he’s supposed to be her one big secret.
A secret that might turn into her next big heartbreak…

Dominant bosses, sassy bbw’s, loads of office drama and angst! Each book in the series can be read on it’s own, promises oodles of kindle melting heat and of course, a very passionate happily ever after. His Punishments is Marilyn and Giorgio’s story.

The lovely attorney kept a secret from me.

The night we were thrown together by the roulette wheel.
She never contacted me. Meant to keep me in the dark.
She’s about to find out what happens when you cross a bratva boss.
Punishment is in order. Sequestering until the birth.
And I’ll use that time to win her surrender.
Because I don’t just plan to keep the baby—
I plan to make his mother my bride.
And it would be much better for both of us if she were willing.

The only problem is Josh’s brother, Brandon, is constantly around blocking any attempts to create a romantic atmosphere. Megan nurses an oversized grudge against jocks due to a past traumatic experience. The fact that Brandon’s a professional football player whose new favorite sport is mocking her only increases her fantasies of feeding him to a giant carnivorous plant.

Brandon’s life might look perfect, but he’s got a massive hang-up about his intelligence, a hang-up which is aggravated by all the verbal sparring with Josh’s new roommate. Even worse, it appears Science Barbie is falling for his deeply closeted brother. Why does he care so much about preventing the impending disaster?

I used to believe in fairy tales.
And then I met him.

They call him the beast.

Shadows danced under his cold eyes, but all I saw was his fire.

He pressed me up against the walls of his castle, and growled against my neck that I belonged to him. He made a dark flower bloom inside me, awakening a hunger that I didn’t even know existed.

I gave myself to him. 


I let him dominate every inch of me. I let him hold my heart and see every corner of my soul.

When it was his turn to do the same, it all went dark.

I get a peek into his real world for the first time—a world of ruthless criminals and savage monsters.

His baby grows inside me as long-hidden secrets start to unravel—each of them bigger than the last.

Real intentions surface.

I discover that everything I once believed to be true is really a lie.

There are no such things as fairy tales.

And only time will tell if I dodged a bullet or made the biggest mistake of my life.

Welcome to ‘Kingdoms.’ Each book is a fairy-tale based contemporary standalone set in the criminal underworld of Chicago. If you like your romance steamy and bordering on the dark side with twists that will have your heart racing, you’ve come to the right place. HEA always.

A town full of secrets. A dark elite.
A girl who crossed the wrong king.


They call them the Court, an elite boys club who rule Windsor Preparatory Academy like gods among men. And, of course, they're led by Hercules himself.

Royal Prinze--yes, that's actually his name--walks around both the school and the town like he owns them. His affiliation to the prestigious Court only gives him more clout. These boys do anything they want. They take anything they want, and they f*ck anything they want... in that order.

Then there's me.

I came to Maywood Heights to live with my virtually indifferent father because my sister went AWOL. She chose to move with him after our father decided to uproot years ago and forget anything related to our late mother. I stayed with our aunt, but my sister and I had always remained close.

She'd never gone off the grid.

The new girl, I arrived at Maywood Heights to find her. The last thing I imagined when enrolling at her school was that she'd be connected to a group like the Court, and boys like Royal. She's nothing like them and so much better than Royal and his elitist attitude...

So, why then are they saying he's her best friend?


Warning: This enemies-to-lovers, high school romance contains some dark themes and light bullying. The book is not a standalone and is book one in a four-part series of full-length novels. Royal Prinze is the only hero of this tale... good luck getting him to share.

I tried it all…
I hated him in the way that he deserved.
I resisted him in the way that I knew best.

But I failed.
Miserably.
It was easier to hate Claude but harder to stay out of his bed.
He wanted to win.
He wanted to control me.
And he wanted to make me submit.
The worse part?
I let him do those things.
I satisfied his billion-dollar ego by letting him adore my curves.
Falling in love with a bad boy was a… bad idea.
But Claude wasn’t just that.
He was also my enemy.
An enemy that now had my heart.
Could I still reclaim it knowing that this bad boy was going to be the end of my sanity?
What if a part of me craved to be destroyed by him?

Dominant bosses, sassy bbw’s, loads of office drama and angst! Each book in the series can be read on it’s own, promises oodles of kindle melting heat and of course, a very passionate happily ever after. His Needs is Claude and Felicia’s story.
