Mak Ashwood is a criminal prosecutor taking on the Mob in a triple-murder.

When Mak’s life is threatened, she hires James to protect her. James should deny his feelings for her and terminate the contract. But he doesn’t.

Can he protect her from the Mob, and the violent men hunting him? And should he tell her the truth about her husband’s disappearance thirteen years ago?

If you like fast-paced action, romance, and stories packed with twists and turns, then you’ll love the first instalment in Brooke Sivendra’s James Thomas series.

Declan: I was born into this world. I am what it made me. I do things that others find disgusting. I broke many rules when I met Brooke. She showed up one night and I took advantage of that. When she kept coming back, I knew there was more to her. One fucking day changed it all. One secret from my past blew our relationship out of the water.


Brooke: Loss was all I knew. It creeps around every corner. One dare. That’s all it took. The night I met Declan, I was on the high of my life. I felt safe with him. Little did I know; his secrets were also mine. When his past is revealed, I lose it. The man he claimed to be was a man I’d known all my life.

I’m the Jackpot of all Men.
The Jack of all Trades.

If you haven’t guessed it yet, name’s Jack.
I’d been called other things.
Arrogant. Raunchy. Tats. Punk.

For seven years, I gave up my freedom for a crime I didn’t do.
Why? Money, retirement, dreams.

When it’s time to leave prison, my cellmate asks me for a favor—a promise.
Find his sister, give her a letter, and leave. Easy, right?

Wrong.

Nothing about Ahri was easy.
She’s a stubborn beauty, an intoxicating mystery, and a feisty fury.
She’s a hot mess with a life to match it. Two full-time jobs, school, no sleep, and a diet composed of ramen and energy drinks.
She was nowhere near perfect. But perfection was overrated, and Ahrianna Lore was underrated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I went along with the lie of who she thought I was.
Just some guy looking at the apartment next door.
It was supposed to be an easy find, tap, leave.
But curiosity got the best of me, and old habits came crawling out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of which involved me coming out of retirement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever heard the story about the Jack of Hearts whose heart was stolen by a beautiful thief?
No? Well, you’re about to.

From New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson comes an electrifying novel of Romantic Suspense... 

On Sale. Steamy, swearing, mature topics, suspenseful. What if your ex-husband was an abusive, dirty cop, and he was convinced he would get you back someday. What if he was willing to do anything to make that happen? Do you think it would scare off your new boyfriend, a strong, hot firefighter? Not if he has secrets of his own ...

Six full-length novels and one novella. 500,370 words. Over 1500 pages.

Books 1-7 of the best-selling Edge of the Heat Series. This is the complete series (for now) and also includes three free books The Billionaire's Secret Kink 1. Unauthorized Affair, and Hide My Memories.

Edge of the Heat follows four couples on their journey from disaster to happily ever after. Here is the synopsis for book one, but I don't want to include all of the descriptions here, because they include spoilers.

Following a near death experience, firefighter/paramedic Emma Hill's world is turned upside down. Haunted by a vision of the man who could very well be her soul mate, Emma is desperate to find that man, but fear stands in her way.

With a maniacal ex-husband determined to get her back, Emma struggles to stay clear of him or risk living a life riddled by quiet desperation and abuse. Fighting with a dirty cop is dangerous enough, but when that dirty cop is her ex-husband the stakes are raised to disastrous levels.

Craig Masterson, the firefighter who saved Emma's life, finds himself falling for her. When he learns who her ex-husband is, he realizes that this is a battle he may not win.

Choosing to love her is a deadly game. If he can stay alive, their love may flourish, but only if he can defeat her ex.

Heat level: low (for this book - the rest in the series are moderate to moderately-high), suspense, thriller level: moderate. Some swearing. 18+

He’d despaired of ever seeing her again…yet here she is. And she’s in trouble.

Retired Navy SEAL Clay “Raven” Nighthorse is ready to turn down a routine job protecting a woman being stalked by a vengeful ex. Until he realizes this job is anything BUT routine. His client is the woman he met on a beach three years ago. The woman with whom he’d felt an instant connection. The woman who has been haunting his dreams ever since.

Leah Stanhope has never forgotten the stranger who’d simply held her that day and let her cry out her anguish at her husband’s betrayal. And now, fate has brought them together again in a conflagration of sizzling passion and deadly danger. Is she willing to risk her heart? Especially since, when danger closes in, he’s willing to risk his life?

If you like hot alphas, kinky sex, and thrilling suspense, then you’ll love Passion’s Dream.

Helping him could end her career….and her life.

Sworn to uphold the law, police officer Kate Dexter believes in doing the right thing. But when she meets an injured, altogether too sexy ATF agent, her entire world is turned upside down.

Jonas Burke is a wanted man. Framed for murder, he needs sanctuary – now. Finding it in the arms of a beautiful, feisty fellow cop isn't exactly his best plan, but he's desperate and wounded, and time is running out for him to prove his innocence. Armed with a little more than a conspiracy theory, Jonas has no choice but to ask for Kate's help.

Kate is torn between her duty to “serve and protect” and her growing desire for this man on the run. With her colleagues in pursuit and Jonas's enemies closing in, she and Jonas will have to work together if they want to survive. But can she really trust him beyond a shadow of doubt?

She was the girl in a faded photo I've carried in my pocket for three long years.
My best friend's sister.
I made him a promise on the battlefield that I intended to keep.
Until I met her.
An angel on a dance floor in a shimmery gold dress.
Our worlds crashed together into an incredible night of heat.
Now I've screwed up everything.
How could I have known she was the one girl I swore to protect?

I’ll give him anything he wants.

I needed an escape. Anything. Anywhere.
I had to get away.
The walls were caving in around me and the only way to break free is the one chance in front of me.
So I moved to DC, to start a new life, and put the darkness of my family’s struggle behind me.
I've always put everyone else first.
But now it was my turn.
I've found my way, an offer to be a professor at American University's elite law program will make everything easier.
But then I met Vaughn Hunter.
It was a night at the bar, the moment when our eyes met.
My heart raced. My pulse quickened.
And suddenly I was his.
Vaughn is dark. Dangerous.
I could tell the second I saw him.
But I can't stay away.

I didn’t think I was that kind of girl, the one who screamed his name, begged for more. Caught between the sheets. But the sheets are burning around us, and so are the secrets he tells me.
Everything is a lie, except how I feel. How I want more. How I crave his mouth, his tongue, and his c*ck.

I can't resist him.
One taste, and I know I’m going down in flames with him.

Resist is a steamy full-length contemporary romance with a sexy, dominant bad boy. No cheating. HFN.

Spence was my first love, my only free fall, my terrible heartache.

Me: shy, quiet, nervous.

Him: outgoing, intimidating, and wild, all the things I wasn’t.

Yet we collided, smoke turning to stardust changed to flesh.

Such catastrophic connection couldn’t last. We split apart—not separated, because that word is so gentle and we cracked in half—and I haven’t seen him in two and a half years.

We aren’t the same; we never were. I hoped, but hope is nothing but a hellbent dream. I made it two years without him, I could make it forever more.

I became, in one word, happy.

And then I was kidnapped.

Spence...save me...

Summer 1977. As the Son of Sam and a scorching heat wave plague New York City, Laila Levin, a Jewish sociologist from Long Island, meets Dr. Eduardo Quintana while giving a speech on the epidemic problem of teenage pregnancies. Laila is relationship-shy after a disastrous marriage, and Eduardo has never completely recovered from his high school sweetheart’s desertion. He is finishing up a residency in New York City and plans to open a family practice near his hometown in New Mexico.

The unlikely pair share strong family values and an interest in helping prevent teen pregnancy. Their mutual passion is so intense it stuns them both. After a brief courtship, Eduardo persuades Laila to accompany him to his family ranch near Española, New Mexico, a rural area with one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in North America. 
 
Once in New Mexico, Laila is blatantly rejected by Sylvia, Eduardo’s controlling mama. Sylvia desperately wants Eduardo to marry Violet, his high school sweetheart. Violet has just returned to New Mexico after a failed flight attendant career, and a walk on the dark side of Hollywood. Her mama and Sylvia cook up a plan to get rid of Laila and reunite their children. The Quintanas hold a large pig roast and invite a menagerie of tattooed cousins, rodeo stars, and mariachis, where the drop-dead gorgeous Violet makes a grand entrance.

In the midst of the pandemonium that results, a shocking family secret is revealed, and Laila and Eduardo’s love for each other is severely tested. Can their relationship survive the fierce clash of cultures, the murderous intentions of a Son of Sam copycat who has stalked Laila from New York City, and their own uncertainties about the upheavals that their union will cause in their lives?

From a secret duo of USA Today Bestselling Authors, comes the first COMPLETE STANDALONE in the Modern Love Series.

Who knew sleeping with the enemy could be this fun?

Was the one night stand a good idea?

Well, no. Probably not in retrospect.

In my defense I had just moved back into my grandparent's house, I'd lost my dream job, and a guy on Tinder had stood me up. It was like life had suddenly stamped 'LOSER' on my forehead.

So when the guy behind the bar started giving me THE look...you know, the one that promised I'd be screaming his name into the wee hours of the morning? When that guy also has the perfect amount of scruff on his chiseled chin, biceps bulging out of his t-shirt, and a cocky grin you knew he'd earned in the sack...when he gives you that look, you don't bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse and ride it!

Pun fully and completely intended. And accurate by the way.

I fully admit to feeling sorry for myself and acting impulsively, but by the time I'd figured out WHO the bartender was, I was already falling for him.

** Note: This book was previous titled "The Bartender". Same great story with a fresh new look.**

I never expected Avery to come crashing into my life. 

Fierce warriors. Savage barbarians. Powerful warlords.
All ready to claim their mates.
