“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...

Valentina

When Jaxxon Reginhardt walks into my gym, my rigidly structured existence begins to crumble. He’s a beast of a man, the personification of power, and more beautiful than any man has a right to be. He’s everything I avoid. Everything I fear. Yet, the second I see him, something deep within me roars to life. He makes me want. He sets my body aflame with just a look, and makes me wish I wasn’t a damaged shell no one will ever love.

I don’t have time for men when my whole world is built around self-preservation. But Jaxxon breaks down all of my strategically constructed boundaries like no one ever has.

How can I give into these new cravings, when there is a half-remembered demon from my past waiting for me to fall asleep, preying on my vulnerability?

If he ever knew the truth, he would run, and it would destroy me ...

Jaxxon

The last thing I need in my complicated life is a snarky, frustrating, spitfire of a woman like Valentina Durare. As if that isn’t bad enough, there’s something haunted about her. My head says stay the hell away, but I can’t seem to get on board with that logic.

Something about me scares her. I can feel it. She’s a beautiful enigma I ache to understand.

The closer we get, the more she responds and draws me in. It can’t be me she fears. There must be something else ... Something tied to the scars she refuses to show me.

But I’m stubborn son-of-a-bitch. I want all of her—not half. Because when we touch, nothing less will do but her complete surrender.

I need her to trust me, before her fear destroys us.

She's always had a crush on her friend Calvin. When he finally realizes it, he makes her a deal. Two weeks together to try anything she wants, and then they go back to being just friends. Of course, nothing goes quite like they planned. A funny, friends-to-lovers romance.

Josie Wheeler isn't a risk-taker. She likes her routine running the Morning Jolt cafe. The last risk she took was asking her dreamy friend Calvin out--and that failed miserably. But as her thirtieth birthday gets closer, that routine starts to feel like stagnation.

After his marriage went up in flames, Calvin Monroe knew love wasn't for him. Since then, every relationship he's had has been no-strings-attached. But Calvin's not nearly as commitment-phobic as Josie thinks he is; he just can't find anyone that measures up to her.

Josie is vibrant, funny, smart--and Calvin's wanted her since they first met. But he knows he's not her type. Josie goes for wholesome guys, not divorcees with bad reputations.

An overheard conversation changes everything. Calvin realizes Josie is--was--into him, but he was too dumb to see it. If he can convince her to take another risk on him, he'll win her heart. So, he makes her an offer she can't turn down: Two weeks to try out anything she wants.

Josie knows Calvin doesn't do forever, but she says yes to his proposition, anyway--it might be just what she needs to get him out of her system and her life out of its rut.

What Josie doesn't expect is their exhilarating chemistry entangling her wary heart. But when her cafe is threatened, she has to decide what she's willing to risk for a love beyond her wildest dreams.

Walk into your office to meet your new boss (you already hate him because he’s been hired for a position YOU deserved), and guess what?

He turns out to be your ex!

No…get yourself together girl, you don’t need an office romance to complicate your already complicated life!

And certainly not with the man who broke your heart five years ago.

I am trying hard to fight my heart, it still does a somersault in my chest.

And suddenly, ‘boss’ begins to feel too formal.

The intensity of his eyes makes me want to squirm,

Not in a scary way, but in a god-I-need-you-to-touch-me way.

Being with him feels so right.

And his playing with my four year old feels just perfect.  

I should be the happiest woman alive.

Wasn’t this how I wanted it to be? How it was supposed to be?

The problem?

Well, let’s say that he’s been so completely honest and open with me and I?

I’ve acted like the biggest jerk, keeping the biggest secret of my life.

A secret that would probably rock his world, hopefully for the better.

But would he be able to forgive me and take a chance with me once again?

Or would this ruin my so perfect happily ever after?

In this runaway New York Times bestseller, a harrowing near-death experience brings together an English teacher and her student as they struggle to survive on a desert island.

Sixteen-year-old T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. With his cancer in remission, all he wants is to get back to his normal life. But his parents insist that he spend the summer catching up on the school he missed while he was sick.

Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher who has been worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere. To break up the monotony of everyday life, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring T.J.

Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahans’ summer home, but as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens: their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover they’re stranded on an uninhabited island.

At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, and as birthdays pass, the castaways must brave violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the worst threat of all—the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. With only each other for love and support, these two lost souls must come to terms with their situation and find compaionship in one another in the moments they need it most.

Nomad biker: a solitary life, riding from place to place.

Flux once wore the Insurgents MC patch and his territory was Colorado. Now his bottom rocker reads Nomad.

The open road is Flux’s therapy and facing a 1,500-pound bull in the rodeo ring is the way he blocks out the memories. One-night stands, booze and plenty of weed have done a damn good job at keeping his heart locked up.

Until he meets a sassy barrel rider.

The golden hair vixen runs rings around him faster than she rides her horse in the arena, and he can’t keep away from her. For the first time since the unspeakable tragedy happened, something stirs inside him.

But he has a long iceberg of guilt that he doesn’t want to get rid of. He’s chosen to live with it as a reminder of what has happened. Couple that with a bunch of inner demons that don’t play nice and he’s nothing but a shell of who he once was.

Maggie Haves hasn’t known anything except the discipline of practice. Touted as one of the best barrel riders to hit the rodeo circuit, Maggie doesn’t have time for anything that will veer her off the pro rodeo trail.

Rugged, tatted and muscular Flux is a very big distraction. Not to mention complicated beyond belief.

Flux has lived on the wild side most of his life, whereas Maggie has always played it safe. She knows the biker is danger in leather, but she’s drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Something about him keeps luring her, and she’s willing to take a chance on love with this imperfect man even if it destroys her.

Will Maggie be the one to show Flux that he deserves to live again … and forgive himself, or will his demons devour her before he throws her away?

Can two unlikely people find love in the midst of so much darkness?

The Nomad Biker series are standalone romance novels. This is Flux’s story. This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. HEA. No cliffhangers. The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.

I’m in love with the wrong girl.

Our fathers were arch enemies in business. Hate was the center of their wicked relationship.

Not only that, but she’s my best friend’s little sister.

The cards couldn’t be more stacked against us.

One I’m counting on to hold steady.

If I wasn’t married at thirty-five, then this beautiful girl would become my bride.

But her career is more important. I’m a billionaire, so I get it.

There’s only so much a man can take, though.

Best of luck to her in her journey.

Fate isn’t so friendly, though. She’s carrying a secret.

My baby.

Our Romeo and Juliet story twists around every bend, but I’ll be damned if my girl isn’t going to get her happily ever after.

I’m a Bancroft, and we get what we want.

When we want it.

All I want is her.

He's my enemy... and my assignment.

One night—that's all it should be. One night of raw, primal passion.

When his plane goes down, it should be the end. Instead, it's just the beginning.

I betrayed Lucas Kent, and now he'll make me pay.

It was completely forbidden, and yet, I couldn’t stop myself.

But I wasn’t alone.

Everyone crushed on our high-school coach back in the day.

Strong. Dominant. Hot as sin.

And completely off limits. Or he was back then.

Now I’m finally grown up, and I’ve come back home.

Life feels directionless, but one thing is dead center.

My old crush.

Now I’m finally old enough to do something about it, and I plan to.

But I need to figure out how to tell my best friend that I’m in love.

With her father.

Finding love just got a little easier...

Josie Carter swore that there was no such thing as a "love potion" and that the crazy lady selling it at the hippie festival was a complete sham.

But a tiny little thread of hope is what made her try a sip.

A sip that caused a series of unfortunate events to unfold, wreaking havoc in her life but leading her to a man who just might be everything she's been missing.

Before time runs out she'll have to figure out if it's true love, or if it's all just too good to be true.

I’ve never been that great with women.

Wait. Hold up. That’s not necessarily true. I’ve always been good with them physically. But at a certain point, that’s not enough.

And that point is now.

I never thought I would get to a point where I wanted more. But here I am. Single, living alone, and still missing my dead cousin who, if he were still alive, would give me shit for still being single and living alone.

But when I saw her singing along to a song I didn’t know and strumming her fingers on the wheel of her expensive Mercedes, I needed to know more about her. I needed to know her name. How she walked. How her lips looked when she said my name.

I never imagined that one conversation with her would change my entire life—and put me in the crosshairs of a man who has been making her life a living Hell for the last few years.

Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t know who the f*ck I am and what I’m willing to do for the girl who stole my heart the first second I saw her.

Enjoy a classic story of love and second chances by New York Times Bestselling Author Jill Shalvis!

Hardened cop Sam O’Neill knew a meddlesome woman when he saw one. He’d saved cocktail waitress Angie Rivers during a bank holdup, but he couldn’t get her pretty face or the feel of her silky skin out of his head. She made him lose his focus—she softened his heart—and that put both of them knee-deep in danger, because someone wanted Angie dead.

Angie was the only one who could identify the leader of a brutal identity-theft ring. But she was done feeling helpless and vulnerable and was ready to take things into her own hands, despite the tall, dark detective’s passionate demands to stay out of trouble—and out of his heart!

The one that got away... and now she’s back in my life.

And in the oddest way. This beautiful woman is working to take over—fast. As if!

Like the guys I work with might listen to her.

But crazily enough, they do. All of them.

Except me.

She’s too sweet and innocent.

Or that’s how I remember her. But she’s all grown up now.

My best friend’s little sister is jacking up my life.

And now, I hear she’s saving herself for marriage and not interested in dating casually.

I’ll change her mind.

Funnily enough, she starts to change mine instead.

Casually doesn’t sound like so much fun anymore.

I’m playing for keeps.

I’m soon to become a plus-sized model entrepreneur.

It’ll be my business to know curves, but this new model we brought on is going to be the end of me.

Money was the name of the game when I started this venture, but now, I’m tied up in knots.

This woman has my mind in places it doesn’t belong, at least not in the office.

Her curves. Her passion. The fire behind her eyes.

I can’t get her out of my mind, and I sure as hell don’t want her out of my bed.

But life doesn’t always play fair.

A few bad decisions later, I’m losing my grip on the one thing I want most.

Her and our secret baby she's carrying.

Get ready for a steamy paranormal romance series like no other.

Seven brothers, all sons of the demon prince, Wrath.
Strong.
Powerful.
Deadly.
Each has a brand of pain to exact vengeance, and an insatiable desire to find his mate.

An ancient enemy has awakened, threatening both the demon and human realms. Bonds will be broken, love tested, and loyalties destroyed.

SOUL AVENGED (Book 1):

Passion is blind in vengeance and love …

Ayden’s suburban home was invaded by a pack of Lycans.
The brutal attack is the only memory she carries of her former life.
Now, one motive burns in her soul:

KILL THEM ALL.

The Sons of Wrath—a brood of vengeance-dealing warrior demons—band with Ayden to hunt the Lycans on Detroit’s most deadly feeding grounds.
Kane Walker should’ve been her easiest kill.
Unfortunately, the newly bitten Lycan has something she wants—clues that may finally lay her past to rest. To reach them, she must be willing to submit to the sensual pleasures awakened by his touch.

Time is running out.

In seven days, Kane will become what Ayden despises most. She can halt his transformation but the antidote requires the ultimate sacrifice. As the beast takes hold, Kane becomes more of a threat.
Ayden must choose between her lust for revenge, or surrender to her enemy and discover a horrible truth.



SOUL RESURRECTED (Book 2):

As Wrath’s fiercest son, Logan carries the scars of fifty years spent in the most dreaded prison of the underworld, for a sin he’d kill to keep secret. Enduring decades of gruesome torture has left Logan feared by and detached from others, until a female Alexi’s blood resurrects his soul from death and, with it, the pleasures he’s been denied for so long.

Plagued by shame of her own, Calla is drawn to the ruthless demon, Logan, whose insatiable craving for her touch rouses buried passions and, for once, leaves her feeling desired.

A dark and dangerous evil has been reawakened, however, and when Calla is drawn too close to its breeding grounds, Logan vows to summon the violence of Wrath in order to keep her safe. First, though, Calla must save him from a past riddled with deceit and corruption … but only if she can accept the chilling consequences of unearthing his vilest skeleton.


SOUL ENSLAVED (Book 3):

Imprisonment in Obsidius. Enslavement to a soul-sucking succubus. A reproductive cycle that’d send a sex fiend running into the arms of celibacy. Given the choice, most demons would opt for death.
Gavin, eldest son of Wrath, has been sentenced to all three.
When the succubus decides its time to collect, though, he fears his nightmares have only just begun.

And Sabelle’s timing couldn’t be worse.
With a bad case of uncontrollable lust, thanks to his Savidon, the last thing Gavin wants is a vengeful succubus stoking his darkest desires, but debts must be paid—he just didn’t bank on enjoying his punishment so much.
Because the swinging bachelor may have found his perfect mate in the sexy seductress.
However, just as things seem to be looking up, past sins resurface, plunging the two into a deadly game of power and deception. As their worst fears merge into one unexpected threat, Gavin is determined to protect Sabelle and win her freedom.

At any cost.

So I pretended like it hadn't changed my life.
