After my big city heartbreak,
I moved home to middle-of-nowhere, Oklahoma to figure out my next steps.
My big brother seems to have it all figured out for me,
Including getting me a job with his best friend,
Who also happens to be my teenage crush.
It’s been ten years since we’ve seen one another,
And he’s cold, dismissive, and borderline rude,
A direct contradiction from way he looks at me.
But even his infuriating behavior can’t quell the fire that burns between us,
A fire that’s sure to burn our worlds down
When everyone finds out what we’ve really been up to.

And the baby that's developing from our naughty escapades...

When the Roman god of wine and chaos claims you as his own, death is sure to follow. The only question is whose.

Archaeology student Serafina doesn’t believe in mythological creatures like vampires, witches, and ancient gods. But after unearthing an ancient Roman amulet, her dreams of drinking blood and violent magic leave behind an eerie sense of foreboding, and even a skeptic like her starts to wonder how real everything might actually be.

Serafina suddenly finds her life in chaos as a sinister cult takes a deadly interest in the artifact. She's thrown into a world that shouldn't exist, where vampires and witches alike claim ownership of the amulet. Her amulet.

As her connection to the artifact grows, she discovers a dark secret about her past. Serafina realizes she must protect the powerful relic at all costs—even if it means one of the people she loves most must die.

From Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author, Willow Winters comes a steamy, second chance romance.

"Promise me you'll love me after this?" Those were the words I asked my first love on a high school date.

"Always, Vi," he told me before crushing his lips against mine.

I gave him a part of me I can never get back that night. Even worse, I gave him my heart.

That was four years ago. Back when I was young and naive. Back when I thought we’d always be together.

He dumped me right after graduation and left me to join the military. He said I shouldn’t wait for him; it didn’t matter that I wanted to. I would have waited for him forever, but he threw me away and left me here in this small town.

Now he’s home and says he wants me back. Second chances don’t work in love. No matter how much I wish I could erase what’s happened since he’s been gone... no matter how much I think of falling back into his arms…

In this first installment of the action-packed and suspenseful Private Protectors series, a reignited flame might be permanently extinguished.

Michael Taylor is cooler than ice under pressure. As CEO of a private security company, his job means protecting those at risk. Clients pay top dollar for his team of special operatives to deal with threats. But now Michael’s the one in trouble—he’s the prime suspect in his ex-wife’s murder. To prove his innocence, Michael needs not just a few good men, but one smart woman. If she agrees to forgive him…

Twelve years ago, Michael walked away from Roxann Thorgesson and never looked back. Now he’s standing in her office, accused of a heinous crime, the vulnerability in his eyes barely masking something else. Desire. The shock—and her body’s own traitorous response—shakes Roxann to the core. Still, she can’t let lust cloud her professional judgment, no matter how tempting.

Michael needs her…or, rather, her newspaper to clear his name. Roxann wants to refuse, but journalistic instinct tells her there’s more to this case. Sex. Secrets. A dark and dirty cover-up leading all the way to city hall. And as the investigation brings Michael and Roxann closer together, revealing the truth threatens to rip them apart.

Our relationship was a dirty, dirty secret…
It was a huge mistake.

I fell in love with my brother’s best friend.
Only to get pregnant, and then abandoned.
I’ll never forgive Ben.
He left me when I needed him the most.
I’ve survived five years without him.
But my heart still races when I see him again.
His eyes pierce through my soul.
His touch takes me back in time.
I’m tempted to make the same mistake I did back then.
But what happens when I tell him my secret?
And can I move past everything that he’s put me through?

Lanie Moore likes her life to be perfect. Perfect job. Perfect house. Perfect everything. She doesn’t have time for a love life.

Brixton Crane flies by the seat of his pants. Permanent plans aren’t his thing. This world traveler just planted some roots near his childhood home.

When a sick child needs their help, the careful Lanie and the free-wheeling Brixton agree to work together.

And if they’re brave enough to tear down their walls, the perfect love might be the one once deemed imperfect.

Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something…bedazzled?

In twenty-four hours, Addison Holmes will be a married woman. Maybe.

A week to plan a wedding in the south is not for the fainthearted, but Addison (along with the help of her neurotic mother, unreliable sister, and unpredictable Aunt Scarlet) are determined to pull it off.
There’s just one problem. Okay…two problems.

Problem #1: The preacher is missing.
This seems like a bad omen to Addison, and all the best investigators she knows are taking part in the pre-wedding festivities (that’s code for drunk).

That leaves one man for the task: FBI Special Agent Matt Savage. But Addison isn’t sure he’s the man for the job. She and Savage have a complicated history, and Savage could make the preacher disappear forever if it served his own agenda.

Problem #2: Rosemarie Valentine is in charge of booking the bridal party for a spa day. Enough said.

Sweet, small town girl Olive.

Blessed with an angelic voice. 

She's way too good for a hardened and rugged man, me.

But I'm a selfish bastard. So I want her regardless.

It's safer for everyone that way.

She was only suppose to be a one time thing.

But I've had a taste of her sweetness…

And I can't get her out of my mind.

I’ve got a dark past - it’s quite sinful and cold.

But am I’m willing to take the risk.

Will she get dragged down into the dark with me?

Are these secrets worth giving up for her warm gentle touch?

Let’s see what I’m made of.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

When a string of young queer men turn up dead in grisly murders, all signs point to the ex-boyfriend—but what should be an open-and-shut case is fraught with tension when BPD homicide detective Malcolm Khalaji joins up with a partner he never wanted. Rigid, ice-cold, and a stickler for the rules, Seong-Jae Yoon is a watchful presence whose obstinacy and unpredictability constantly remind Malcolm why he prefers to work alone. Seong-Jae may be stunningly attractive, a man who moves like a graceful, lethal bird of prey...but he's as impossible to decipher as this case.

And if Malcolm doesn't find the key to unravel both in time, another vulnerable young victim may end up dead.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Baltimore homicide detective Malcolm Khalaji has his own way of doing things: quiet, methodical, logical, effective, not always particularly legal. He’s used to working alone—and the last thing he needs is a new partner ten years his junior.

Especially one like Seong-Jae Yoon.

Icy. Willful. Detached. Stubborn. Seong-Jae is all that and more, impossible to work with and headstrong enough to get them both killed…if they don’t kill each other first. Foxlike and sullen, Seong-Jae’s disdainful beauty conceals a smoldering and ferocious temper, and as he and Malcolm clash the sparks between them build until neither can tell the difference between loathing and desire.

But as bodies pile up at their feet a string of strange, seemingly unrelated murders takes a bizarre turn, leading them deeper and deeper into Baltimore’s criminal underworld. Every death carries a dangerous message, another in a trail of breadcrumbs that can only end in blood.

Malcolm and Seong-Jae must combine their wits against an unseen killer and trace the unsettling murders to their source. Together, they’ll descend the darkest pathways of a twisted mind—and discover just how deep the rabbit hole goes. And if they can’t learn to trust each other?

Neither will make it out alive.

A delicious and all new reimagining of Lauren Blakely's original fake fiancé romance!

I don't mean to just blurt it out. "Why, yes I'm engaged!"

But once I say it to a potential client, there's only one logical thing to do -- cast the role of my fake fiancé.
Easy enough. As a casting director, my job is to find the most talented players for every part, so I choose dreamy, edgy, sexy, sarcastic Reeve.And I sign him up for one week in the role of mine.
It's not as if I'll fall for him in five nights even if we get a little cozy one night at theater. It's not as if I'll want more even after a scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library.

I can't let myself fall because on Friday at midnight the curtain drops on our fake romance . . .

Rated FIVE STARS by real readers:

Praise for The Adulterer’s Handbook: A Novel

“Wow. This book is fantastic! I had absolutely no idea when I started reading that I'd be taken on this journey. The writing is great.”

“I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure how to categorize it -- a thriller or just good fiction? Regardless, I highly recommend it! I didn't want to put it down!”

“The tale weaves its way down a winding path so beautifully that, before you know it, you're at this bizarre place in the story where every character is not who you thought they were!”

“I was drawn to this novel because I was interested to see how the author handled the subject of infidelity, purely from a male perspective. He’s done an excellent job.”

“The humour and author’s style are reminiscent of David Nicholls.”

“There is much to admire in this entertaining read. The dialogue is natural, the editing is well done and the narrative flows. All in all, a good debut novel and I feel sure we’ll see more from this promising new writer. I recommend you give it a try.”

“The book just becomes fun. It's like a puzzle that you're trying to figure out.”

“The internal dialogue is so hilarious that I literally LOL'd a few times.”
