What did I do when I bumped into a gorgeous billionaire? 

Her fate…
Sarah Randolph believes she’s just an ordinary woman, at least until the day she meets Ramsey—a mysterious man who tells her that not only is she not ordinary…she’s not even human.

Depends on him…
John Sherlock Ramsey, an Earth-born Eudoran, is a Protector. He’s assigned to help Sarah complete her Shift, a period of intense transformation experienced by those of his species. But her Shift is different and risky, because she’s a Red-Line, a member of his kind not seen in over sixty years.

Yet she is the key to his survival...
As her abilities are revealed and the secrets of their destiny exposed, they must confront an assailant who shares Sarah’s unique origins and whose motives are far more sinister than anything Ramsey has ever encountered.

Will Sarah’s unique powers change their fate? Or will she prove to be Ramsey’s last assignment on earth and watch as her people succumb to extinction?

The people we love are thieves.
They steal our hearts. They steal our breath.
They steal our sanity.
And we let them.
Over and over and over again.

They say you never forget your first time.
Mine was with a homeless musician who effed my brains out under a bridge.

He was my first love. And fourteen years later, I still can't get him out of my head.

He broke all my rules.
He also broke my heart.

I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar.
But I was never a fan; just a girl in love.

Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and ruined, needing it to be true.

You can't go back, but I want to. Back to the bridge. Back to when he sang only for me. Before he was famous. Before he shattered my heart.

I thought I knew everything about him.
But I could not have been more wrong.

He promised me every tomorrow. And here I am, waiting.
And hoping.
Again.

All I have of him are flashes of memories, vivid nightmares.

But when I wake up to last night's dream man in my bedroom, who do I believe? My head... or my heart?

***

I woke up this morning with everything a woman could ever live for.
A beautiful loft in the south of France. A gorgeous albeit brooding man who looks at me as if I’m his last meal.

Too bad I don’t remember any of it.

A life I never knew with a lover I don’t recognize…
It can’t get any worse…until it does.

Drawn to a handsome devil with secrets darker than his Greek god-like features, I promise Daniela (the woman I used to be) that I will do anything to piece together the life of her protective housemate, Bishop (no first name), and subsequently her own.

But when memories masquerading as nightmares come back to show me the real truth about my/Dani’s life, my family and my love, I have to come to grips with a past that is nothing like it seems… and an unknown life I may end up dying for.

***AUTHOR'S NOTE***:
The Bodyguard is a STEAMY AMNESIA Romance and part of a series of full-length novels in the Kisses and Crimes series and is not suitable for persons under the age of 18.

Emma Munroe, a Juilliard senior, snags a plum role on Broadway a few weeks before her twenty-first birthday. She travels to Hawaii with her best friends to celebrate. When she gets lost in a jungle during an impromptu hike, she happens upon a waterfall—and a naked hunk bathing underneath it.

When she finds out his name is Avery Bell, she’s dumbstruck. She believes she’s meant to love someone named Avery. It all goes back to a message in a bottle she found when she was nine, a letter written by a soldier called Avery to his sweetheart named Emma. He’d written it in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack during World War II. Since then, Emma has been searching (and saving her virginity) for her own Avery.

But Avery Bell is as mysterious as he is irresistible. Emma learns about his family secrets and bitterness. In the course of this vacation, an accident and a tragic death will shake both of them to the core. Her singular faith in him—her unwavering belief in love and destiny—proves to be his saving grace.

I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what f*cks me up.

It’s living that gets me.

And yet, this one has me pacing the floor.

She can run, but she can never escape her past...

Sophie was abandoned at birth and grew up neglected and abused. Her only friends were computers, until she met Cole Hunter. He became her everything: brother, protector, and partner in crime.  

She believed that nothing could ever tear them apart. Until it did. 

Years later, when news of Cole's murder reaches Sophie, she completely snaps. She will tear down heaven and earth to find his killer, even enlisting the help of her ex-military ex-boyfriend. 

But the more she gets involved with the investigation, the more she puts herself at risk...

----

When Cole was nine years old, he watched his whole family burn to death in a house fire. He became obsessed with architecture and rebuilding his life.

Sophie became his secret weapon. Protecting her was his purpose. But Sophie was damaged right from the start, and Cole always feared he wouldn't be able to save her from her enemies or from herself...

Two weeks. No strings.

With Adam Callaway I thought I'd found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights.

There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn't be satisfied with just sex. My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in. I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.

Something I couldn't live without once I had it.

It’s safer that way. My last girl up and left because things got too dangerous. Not that I blame her.

The world is crumbling around me, with villains gunning for my MC left and right, and the only thing that saves me is her.

Scarily enough, she’s trying to save herself. An abusive relationship and a little one to deal with have her struggling to keep her head above water.

Time to step in and save her. I have to. No matter what.

Why? She’s the one that pulls my black soul up from the darkness and forces me to breathe again with her warmth.

I just can’t help but wonder how she’ll feel when she realizes that I’m no different from the evil that’s after us. I’m more of what she doesn’t need.

I wish I was a good guy and could walk away, but I’m in too deep. I’ve gone too far.

No matter what or who comes our way, I’ll be ready to protect what is mine.

Cause that’s what bad boys do.

After spending the last ten years in prison, Zak, former DAMC president, has a few priorities: to reconnect with his “brothers,” to get drunk, and to get laid. Not necessarily in that order. When he spots a stunning woman in the clubhouse and mistakes her for one of the club’s strippers, those priorities get a bit skewed.

Sophie has no idea what happened to her life. One minute she’s totally focused on building her bakery business, and the next? She’s delivering a cake to the Dirty Angels motorcycle club’s “homecoming” celebration for a member who just got out of prison. Little does she know baking that cake will change the rest of her life, not to mention, make her a target for a rival MC.

When a decades old territory war threatens to rip them apart, Zak will do anything to keep Sophie, his club, and the town safe. But being from two different worlds, the threat they’re under may not be worth the risk.
