LIVE!! SPORTS ROMANCE & MARITAL STRIFE

I’ve always been the kind of guy who sticks to my vows. So when my wife asked for space, I let her walk away, hoping what we had built would be strong enough to withstand it.

When she shows up three years later in Seattle, smack dab in the middle of the best season the franchise has ever had, I’m torn between trying to figure out my marriage and not letting my teammates down…”

LIVE!! OH OH!!! FORBIDDEN LOVE ALERT!!!!!!

Angela is everything I’m supposed to want. And I was ready to make her my wife. Until one drunken mistake ruined everything.

Her sister, Abby, is nothing like her. Tattooed. Reckless. The black sheep her family pretends doesn’t exist. She was never meant to matter. Just one night I could forget.

Except now she’s pregnant. With my baby…”

LIVE!! SMALL TOWN ROMANCE!!

The wrong side of the town is paradise compared to where I grew up. It’s all I’ve ever known, but that doesn’t make it home. When I’m given an unexpected out from that life, I don’t hesitate to take it. Except there’s a catch.

Byron Benson needs a nanny. It’s almost comical that the grumpy single dad looks at me and sees someone trustworthy for the role…”

LIVE!!
HOCKEY STAR FAKE RELATIONSHIP!

I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage.

Now I’m a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy.
I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she’s around. And she’s all around—living in my house, sharing my space, so close, I can smell her perfume on my clothes…”

LIVE!! SHE TRIES TO GHOST THE MAFIA BOSS…

My brother made me join a super anonymous messaging service, and when I teased him about being a spy or in the mob, I thought it was a joke. I even changed my profile pic to a skull, and my name to Bunny the Killer.

Then I get added to a mafia group chat, with my brother and tattooed men in suits. The Kingpin messages me privately. He wants to know who I am.

I can’t put my brother in danger by revealing his mistake, so I play along. But the mafia boss isn’t convinced. He says he’s going to track me down, and make me pay.

I ghost him. And I think that’s the end. Until the gifts begin to arrive…”

LIVE!! SPORTS ROMANCE

But fate has a twisted sense of humor, because the team’s owner is none other than August Cromwell—my ex. The same August who left me behind without a second glance when his father disapproved of our relationship. I swore I’d never forgive him, and I’ve made it my mission to remind him of that every chance I get; consequences be damned.

But August doesn’t back down. He shows up, again and again, with that same maddening charm and memories I’ve tried to bury. And when I finally let my guard down, when I start to believe we might have a second chance, his father strikes again—this time with stakes higher than ever…”

LIVE!! DARK ROMANCE SERIES!!

I’m the weak link–the pawn to take down the kings. The games their enemies play with me will have consequences. Because no one touches the horsemen’s toy but the horseman.

This is book 3 in the Untouched series. This book follows Their Twisted Rules…”

LIVE!! THE HOSTAGE RESCUER & THE TEACHER!!

Evie Sinclair did everything right. She came forward. She gave her statement. She described the shooters, memorized the plate, and trusted the FBI to keep her safe. What she got instead was a remote mountain cabin, two agents with dead eyes, and the creeping certainty that she wasn’t going into witness protection.

She was going into a grave.

Jon “Riot” Jones is Guardian HRS’s best extraction specialist — a man who shows up before dawn, drops the threats, and walks the package out alive. The job is simple. The witness is not.

She’s already dressed and waiting when he breaks through the door. She throws a rock at an armed soldier to save his life. And when their only escape route turns out to be two hundred feet of near-vertical granite, she looks at the cliff and says she’s climbed it before.

He follows her up anyway…”
