Once the annoying little girl that followed us everywhere.
Now she's all grown-up... and hates my guts.

An investigative journalist with a body to kill for,
Fiery attitude and devastating curves.
She may have lost her dream job.

It'll take everything I have to save her.
I'll burn this city to find this monster if I have to.
I'll save Emma and the secret she's carrying.

Hunted by demons from her past, an innocent girl must turn to a brutal mercenary for protection. 
A man that will break her, reshape her, forge her.

After a stranger guns down Cora Swan's childhood love in cold blood, she is forced to go on the run with a man she hardly knows. 

Milo Finn, the mercenary hired to protect her, doesn't know whom to trust after receiving a mysterious message from Cora's former bodyguard, a man Cora's father suspects of having betrayed the family. He takes her to the only safe place he knows.

But Cora's sweet innocence is stirring something beastly inside Finn. Soon, even a remote cabin will become a deadly trap for her if he can't control his own dark urges.

Broken by the Monster is the first book in the dark romance cartel series, Dark Twisted Love. If you can't get enough of darkly troubled alpha males and the innocent they prey on, then you'll love Fox's deliciously dark and twisted romantic suspense.

Every time someone tells me how much they love my baking show, it shocks me. It's as if I can't quite remember that all the hours of work I put in filming segments and writing cookbooks is actually meant to be seen by the public.

The first season of my show was a hit, and I love what I do, so when my agent called to tell me about a new show the network wanted me to audition for, I was surprised. I'm almost twenty-one, not a teenager anymore, and as it turns out, she thinks my girl-next-door image needs to grow up a little.

When I find out that I'm auditioning to co-host with the sexy British celebrity chef I grew up crushing on, I nearly lose it.

Lucas has had a lot of trouble the past couple of years. A nasty divorce. Binge-drinking. Partying. We won't even talk about those pics of his impressive package that were splashed all over the tabloids.

I'm supposed to be the solution to all Lucas' problems. Meeting him, though, is just the start of mine.

When we set off on a European filming tour, sparks fly.

Lucas is definitely bringing the heat.

I just hope I don't get burned.

Meet the Kings. They’ll warm your heart… then get it racing.
Fall in love with the wild, passionate, scandalous men, and the strong, confident women of this big family as they find lasting love in the quaint small town of Crown Creek. Each book is connected or can be read as a standalone.

Crown Creek is a small town. Too small for Jonah King's huge ego.

He's everything I'm not. He's everything I hate. And now, he's everything I hate... to love.

My best friend's older brother is a huge rockstar now. If he believes that lets him get away with screwing over his family the way he did, he's wrong.

I always hated what he did to them. I always hated him.

But then he shows up again. A different man from the one I remember. He's humbled. Grieving.

Lost.

And suddenly I’m singing a different tune.

Instead of shouting, I’m saying, “touch me.” I’m saying, “kiss me again.” I’m saying, “please… please.”

I’m saying, “I had you all wrong. And I’m sorry."

But I want a future and there’s no future with Jonah King. I’m a small-town kindergarten teacher and he’s a big time celebrity. We come from different worlds.

But the music we make together is too beautiful to ignore.

From USA Today Best Selling author Ali Parker

I’m a loner, and it seems I always will be.

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

It’d be better if I could stay away from love for good, but the pretty single mom who dances at my club has my attention, then my body, and now my heart.

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.

Welcome to Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rule. Get ready to get Down & Dirty because this is Zak’s story…

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. Normally, Sophie wouldn’t be caught dead with a man like Zak, a tattooed, ex-con, badassed biker.

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.

Too bad taking advantage of it might reveal the secret she desperately needs to keep hidden.

But it’s too late to get out of it now, and she soon finds that she’s in over her head with a boardroom full of resentful executives, a hot CEO, and a jealous M&M-scarfing assistant who wants to make sure Marly doesn’t succeed.

Lincoln
This may be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this; a prickly five foot nothing hellcat, Jasmin Smith.

She was MINE. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end I would have her, every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know. I have fought to get back here, two years breathing in filth and scum. All for her- my warrior princess. Now all I had to do is make her remember.

Jasmin

It was hard not to notice him, tall, bossy, and sexy as hell. He had no respect of personal space, he used every opportunity to get close and breathe me in.

Falling for my late-husband’s best friend was never a good idea.

Especially when he’s so hard to resist.

I’m done being a military wife. I’ve moved on. But the past keeps dragging me back and it’s Nick is impossible to stay away from. So what if he’s a sexy soldier who’s determined to take care of me? Surely I’ve learned from my disastrous marriage that I can’t handle military life.

But now I’m scared. Someone is trying to hurt me and I don’t know why. The only person I can turn to is Nick. And he’ll do everything he can to keep me safe.

He’ll also do anything to make me his.

Please note: Not Another Soldier was previously published in 2013 with a different cover.

My best friend is freaking awesome.

But don't just take my word for it. Consider all his attributes.
First, let's start with the obvious one.
Size.
He has this one fantastic bone in his body. It's bigger than other guys'. It's thicker, longer, more powerful.
C'mon. I'm talking about his funny bone.
Spencer Holiday makes me laugh like no one ever has. Sarcastic, self-deprecating, and always at attention with a joke--that's him.
Except, it's no joke when he asks me to be his fake fianceé for a week.
The trouble is I'm already falling for him before we even start.
Oops.

**A Big Rock short story told from Charlotte's POV...this is an optional prequel to Big Rock!**

I was born a fighter.

Destined for the ring. Cold. Hard. Focused.

I never expected to have to run from my enemies and hide out, but it’s not just me anymore.

My little girl deserves more than the life I have to offer. The least I can do is keep her safe from the mad man after me.

At first, we find serenity in the small town I tucked us away in, but nothing is that easy.

A beautiful girl next door grabs my attention, and for a moment, I believe love might be possible–again.

How wrong I was.

Inviting this hot woman into my world was the biggest mistake I’ve made.

One minute, she’s there, and the next, she’s gone.

Kidnapped. Taken from me.

Good damn thing I was born a fighter.

I’ll never give up.

Never.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

From USA Today Best Selling author Ali Parker

I’ve never been the sort of man who needed a woman. I’ve never needed anyone, in fact.

The Lost Breed MC gives me all that I could ever ask for.

They’re family, and now they’re in danger.

The Hand is inching closer and closer to our inner circle, and he’s never been more of a threat than he is right now.

Jason, Ryder’s nephew, conveniently reappears while The Hand is making power moves. I’m not blind to coincidence.

Something is amiss.

Not only do I have my hands full dealing with a killer, but there’s a beautiful brown-haired girl drawing circles around my heart and making things more complicated.

Love has never been on my radar, but this woman won’t give up.

She’s in as much danger as I am, if not more.

I might not be enough to stand between her and the man who has been making the last year of my life a living hell, but I’m damn sure going to try.

She’s worth it. My MC is worth it.

Together, they’re all I have left in the world.

 

We're both addicted to sex, just not with each other.

High school friends - nothing more.
That was our promise to each other, because let's face it, infidelity spreads like a disease.
Everybody cheats.
Period.
And it's easier to remain friends than hurt the only person you ever cared about - or so we thought.

Note: Suitable for mature audience. While Cheaters Anonymous is a stand alone novel, it is advisable to read its short prequel When Things Go Wrong.
No cliffhanger and HEA ending.

I never gave a f*ck about my family’s billions.

I’m a military man, honorable and true.

But my damn brother felt differently. He had me tossed in prison for a crime I didn’t commit, and now, all I think about is revenge.

It slowly becomes an obsession until something finally breaks through the dark cloud.

My high school sweetheart.

It’s been ten years since graduation, and she isn’t a little smart-assed girl anymore.

She’s a woman. My woman.

I thought prison would undo me, but nothing could prepare me for the secret my girl held back from me.

A baby. A family. One I didn’t know I had.

And now my brother knows, too. He’ll use anything to destroy me, including my kid.

Money creates opportunity, but there’s a cost it requires.

The payment for wealth is high, and my brother is willing to go all in.

I might have started out honorable, but now?

There’s nothing this ex-con won’t do to keep his family safe.

Even kill.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy ~ Weston

For five years - one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-two nights to be exact - I’ve watched her from afar…

Protecting her. Keeping her safe from the world.

And stalking her every move.

What started as a favor for her brother has grown into something so much more.

A full-blown obsession.

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, unless I get my Meredith fix.

Claiming her could start a war, and might very well result in my death.

But she’s mine, she’s always been mine.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Raised by a family of survivalists, FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick can take on any challenge—even the hostile reception to her homecoming. But she’s not the only one causing chaos in the rural community of Eagle’s Nest, Oregon. At first believed to be teenage pranks, a series of fires takes a deadly turn with the murder of two sheriff’s deputies. Now, along with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy is on the hunt for an arsonist turned killer.

Still shunned by her family and members of the community, Mercy must keep her ear close to the ground to pick up any leads. And it’s not long before she hears rumors of the area’s growing antigovernment militia movement. If the arsonist is among their ranks, Mercy is determined to smoke the culprit out. But when her investigation uncovers a shocking secret, will this hunt for a madman turn into her own trial by fire?

I’m desperate for answers.

I gave up hacking and turned a corner. Only, I can’t forget that five years ago AJ Hart shattered me. Since then I’ve tried to put the pieces back together. Finding my birth parents gives me a purpose and keeps me distracted. Focused.

I had no idea I was being shadowed as I traveled the country on the hunt for clues. My every move watched. My every step followed. Until AJ returned. Letting AJ back into my life wasn’t a part of my plans. What’s to keep him from hurting me again?

On our way back to D.C. it doesn’t take long for us to realize something is terribly wrong. AJ swears he’s here to protect me, but I don’t know if I can believe in him again. Even if he claims he works for the FBI. With my life crashing down around my feet, I don’t know if I can forget our past.

But our lives are at stake, and the clock is ticking.

Never ask questions. Never hesitate. Never get emotionally involved.
Words I've lived by. Until her.

I'm a fixer.
I fix bad, embarrassing, illegal problems, for the right price.
My clients are rich, famous, powerful, and very dangerous.

Now I’ve got a problem of my very own: Eva Martin. 
She just happens to be both my best friend’s little sister, and at the center of the most explosive problem I’ve ever faced. 

As the body count rises around us, I’m falling for the one woman that’s totally out of bounds. 
Her wide innocent eyes, perfect curves, and sexy, smoky voice--she’s a liability and a weakness, but I'm unable to resist.
Eva’s a risky distraction for a man like me. 

I'm going to make her mine, and I'll use everything in my arsenal to keep her safe.
Even if it means everyone else—including me—becomes collateral damage.
