Identical twins but different men – she loves both!

In this electrifying romantic suspense set in the steamy streets of New Orleans, Lieutenant Commander Nik Baudin, accidently meets up with an identical twin he never knew existed. When his brother Max goes missing, Nik assumes his identity as Special Agent Maximilian. This gives him access to FBI files making it easier to arrest the gangsters who attacked his brother and to stop their trafficking of underage girls. Being that Nik has specialized commando training, he’s the perfect man for the job - that’s if his PTSD doesn’t kick in and leave him cowering in a corner.

Special Agent Maya Barnes can’t believe it when she spots her partner, Max Foster, wandering along the French market without a care in the world. Since he’d been beaten and had gone missing weeks earlier, they all believed him dead. There’s only one problem… though this man might look exactly like the missing agent, she knows differently. In all the years they’ve worked together, she’s never wanted to have mind-blowing sex with her partner before.

The betrayal and public humiliation retired National Hockey League player Josh Adams suffered at the hands of his ex-wife scarred him deeply. Now he's only interested in superficial flings...until he connects with Lake at the charity event. She has depth of character and values he holds dear but getting involved with her could cost him everything.

Can two scarred people, perfect for each other, overcome their broken hearts and find the love and happiness they deserve? Or will Lake's past, and a madman bent on revenge, put an end to their promising future?

Some people didn't think Chelsea had what it took to survive in this male-dominated world, but she's about to prove them all wrong.

It was just a game… a silly little game!

I was bored and lonely, being left by myself on movie sets and ignored by my asshole fiancé of a film director.

The guy on the internet seemed harmless. An obsessive fan who LIKED all of my posts and wrote me all kinds of dirty messages along with them. So I thought I’d message back one day to kill some time by being a little filthy with him. Just for fun, I swear.

I just never thought he’d get so serious about it… I never thought he’d go so far with it… I never thought he’d TAKE me!

A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power...

Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it’s the thing that makes life worth living.
Let me tell you everything I know about love…
Love isn’t patient, love isn’t kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves.
At least that’s how it was for me.
A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex.
Even though I’ve never had either.
I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands.
Then I fell down from those highs, and I’m being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don’t regret.
Trey.

With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary.
They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and
numbed the awful memories that wore away at my ragged, wasted heart.
Until I met Harley.
She’s the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she’s
back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us,
especially since I don’t know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family.
All I know is she’s the closest I’ve ever come to something real, and
I want to feel every second of it.

How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?

THE THRILL OF IT is book one of a two-book series.

From Bestselling author Sadie Black comes the entire Devoted serial in one boxset.

Devoted Part One:

Brianna Hendricks has lived a wild life full of fast men and fun nights. That is, until her best friend Kendra Cole settled down and moved on from her job at the diner. Now Brianna is feeling left behind. In a dead end job, with no education, and nearing thirty, her options seem to be narrowing by the day.

Nearly two years after they met at the Zervion MADD Art Auction, billionaire Bradley Sheppard waltzes back into Brianna’s life…literally. After asking her to dance, a whirlwind romance begins. However, Brianna wants more than a few nights of heat and passion. She wants stability. She wants a promising future. She wants Bradley.

But, can Mr. Sheppard commit to Brianna as he’s promised? Or will his dual life in another city destroy the only relationship that Brianna has ever had?

Devoted Part Two:

Brianna is fed up. Her dreams of a perfect life are crumbling around her. She's tired of his last minute cancellations, tired of him disappearing without explanation, and tired of his secrets. It's time she learns the truth about Bradley Sheppard’s hidden life of dealing with a dangerously unstable woman and her vulnerable little girl.

How will Brianna handle it when the curtain is pulled back? Will she be able to come to terms with Bradley's chaotic dual life and move forward with him? Or will she turn away and continue to hide her own intimate secret from him… that she's pregnant with his child.

Devoted Part Three:

At six-months pregnant, Brianna has been brutally attacked and left for dead in a pool of her own blood. When she's rushed to the hospital it becomes clear that Brianna is going to be just fine, the only question is: will her baby survive?

This is the conclusion of the Devoted serial.

This sizzling box set for the Vegas Series starts off where we meet up with hardworking, hard-assed Detective Aurora Morelli. Attempting to arrest a rapist who attacks her colleague then continually thwarts her attempts to bring him to justice—to a horrific nightmare where her new baby is kidnapped—this scrappy detective does everything in her power to control these events. Kai Lawson, a partner she doesn’t want, fights against and in the end accepts (in her job and in her bed) is the hero in these first few stories. The bald-headed, purse-carrying hotshot knows just how to pull her crank and the outcome is entertaining. Their blockbuster story will get you totally invested in this series.
In the last three books, along comes Lisa Jordan, a kick-ass kinda gal who loves wearing the shield as a Vegas detective and enjoys the more strenuous aspects of her job. She steps in for a while as Aurora’s partner while Kai is MIA. Her story begins here and ends the series as she fights her attraction for wealthy casino owner, Jeff Waters. After one wild night, the charismatic charmer digs his way into her heart and that of the three-year-old nephew in her care. The fact that he leaves her speechless, literally, detracts from his appeal for Lisa since as a self-professed chatterbox, it’s the first time ever. On the other hand, everything else about the man is fascinating. She can no more fight her memories than stop herself from rescuing him from two killers holding him hostage in revenge for the mistakes of his father.

Dixie Burns has done it again with “What If It’s True?”. Fans of her first novel, “Spit of A Minute”, will recognize the spot-on dialects, a strong sense of place, and colorful characters that make Mrs. Burns a budding master of Southern fiction. Clarissa Clooney, the mysterious divorcee from out-of-town, and Trig Foley, the local police chief, are imperfect heroes drawn together by their desire to help a group of small town girls before it’s too late. Equal parts love story and page-turning thriller, this Southern novel has more twists and turns than a backcountry road. But the truth is, Cedar Hill’s tale of romantic suspense, perversion, and corruption could take place in any small town.

We all have it. That feeling that something bad is about to happen, something really bad. We don't like to think about it and we never talk about it, but still, we worry about it. Sometimes we can almost feel the Earth holding its breath and waiting. We are all preparing in our own ways. Some have built bunkers and gathered supplies, some have a contingency plan on paper or maybe just in their head but nothing concrete. Then there are those of us who are in the middle, we don’t have a well supplied bunker but we have a stash of things we might need when that day comes and a sort of plan to go with it. We think about how much we will miss things like chocolate bars, wine and coffee and brainstorm about ways to preserve the things we will miss the most. We decide where to go, if leaving is possible and consider the pros and cons of each possible location. The more pessimistic at heart are checking things off their bucket lists before it’s too late and maybe even devising an exit strategy.

When Lucy and her sons wake up to a living nightmare on the last morning of their weekend camping trip, they must make the most of the people and resources surrounding them to endure.

When Anna MacDonald leaves Edinburgh to find peace in the Scottish Highlands, she gets a twofold surprise: a lost sailor teaches her to love again…while a mysterious stranger has plans to kill her.

Passed over for promotion by her boss—and boyfriend, Anna walks off the job in anger. But being reactionary has its price. Now she can no longer afford the rent on her Edinburgh apartment. So she retreats to the only place she has ever felt happy – her grandmother's croft on the edge of a Highland loch. With no phone or neighbours, and only two border collies for company, Anna sets out to finally achieve her lifelong dream; to write—and sell—the novel that has burned within her for years.

Luke Tallantyre, a renowned Cape Cod artist, has sailed across the Atlantic to escape an artistic dry spell—and come to terms with his dangerous past. When his yacht develops a problem he drops anchor in Loch Hourn. He rows ashore, and knocking on the door of the croft, asks to use the telephone, but the reception he receives is less than welcoming – in fact it's downright frosty.

Anna resents the cranky American’s intrusion to her seemingly idyllic life. Luke thinks she’s an ill-mannered hermit. But an unseen assassin is after one of them. So they unwillingly join forces and embark on an adventure neither ever imagined…including a chance at true love.
