When you're born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks, a smooth ride through life is a luxury you can't afford. That's why I break my back to keep the ranch equipment running. My life is hard, but it's also honest, and I've accepted that it doesn't have a happy ending. How could it when Genevieve Montgomery is my biggest regret?

Then a rare night out with the guys from the ranch lands me face-to-face with the woman I've never been able to forget. She's still just as flawless as the day she walked out of my life, and if the sparkling rock on her finger isn't enough of a reality check, meeting her polished fiancé—a local politician who expects my vote—certainly is.

I can stay in my lane and respect that she'll always be out of my league. But as campaign season heats up, she gets a taste of my rough and rowdy world, and to my surprise, this perfectly put together good girl isn't afraid to get a little filthy.

Then everything explodes. Genevieve's fiancé is hell-bent on taking down the Fallen Demons MC, and he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. When the truth comes out, suddenly I'm protecting her from the biggest mistake of her life, but I'll be damned if I let anyone ruin her twice. 

 

 

Mammon

I’ve spent most of my life watching the things I care about burn to ash. After the tragedy of losing people I loved most, I shut down and let a bitter silence drive a wedge between me and my sister. Now, my eyes are finally wide open. I’m proud to see my sister finding her own happiness, but a guy like me, with grease on his hands and the Fallen Demons MC patch on his back, I'm good on my own. I’m just focused on making sure I never lose anyone else.

Until she crashes into my world like the harmony in the midst of my forever hell.

Paisley is pure sunshine and joy. A bright light, and a badass on the rodeo circuit. She's better than the life she's living, but you'd never know it by the way she works her fingers to the bone. She’s everything I’m not, and the harder she tries to smile through the grit, the faster she tears down my walls.

But a light that bright attracts dangerous shadows. Paisley thinks she’s just dealing with typical rodeo drama, but I see something sinister in the threats she's been getting. Someone isn't just bitter about not being the best. And whoever it is doesn't just want revenge. They're trying to destroy her.

No matter who's behind this, I'm determined to protect her, because I never thought I’d have something worth fighting for again. Whoever thinks they can touch my girl will find out exactly why I’m called Mammon and am part of the Fallen Demons.

From the moment he walked into my life, Brody O’Rourke has been a thorn in my side. 

 

So now I’m going to be a thorn in his.

 

He calls me a menace. A brat. And if it weren’t for the electricity I can feel sizzling between us with every kiss, every touch, I might even believe he means it. 

 

At first, it was just for fun. A way to get some real-life experience for the books I write. Books about men like him. Controlling, possessive, dominant. Men who make their living with blood and fear, but who would burn it all down for the right woman.

 

But now I’m caught in the middle of a very real war being waged by men who are far more dangerous than the men I write about.

 

And unlike in my books, the real world doesn’t always have a happy ending…

 

 

Matt: Only I could end up in a love triangle between two people.

Caleb: Your geometry has a certain logic, given our circumstances.

Caleb: Except it can’t be “only” you since you’re conveniently forgetting the second person in this triangle.

Matt: I am not. You’re unforgettable.

Matt: I see you preening over there.

Caleb: What can I say? When you look as good as I do—

Matt: Hush, huldrekall. And by the way, no one’s going to know what a huldrekall is.

Caleb: Some will.

Matt: But for those who don’t, do you think we should tell them?

Caleb: No. Let them find out by reading the book.

Matt: Are you also going to tell them how you made getting me in your bed the subject of an ill-advised bet with your frat brothers? Or are you going to keep that from them the way you kept it from me?

Caleb: How many times do I have to apologize?

Matt: Once more.

Caleb: I’m sorry, love of my life.

Matt: Apology accepted.

Caleb: Other Alpha Claw Omega business goes to the grave, though.

Matt: Except when it doesn’t. There was that time when you had to streak across campus. Tons of people saw.

Caleb: It wasn’t that many people.

Caleb: Besides, babes, if you want my tail, you just have to ask for it.

Matt: Are you going to tell them about the book?

Caleb: No. They have to read it for themselves.

Matt: At least give them a hint.

Caleb: Fine. They can read the list of tropes.

Matt: You’re so generous.

Caleb: Don’t give away my secret.

 

 

 

Two weeks of peace. That's all I got.
After defeating the Harvesters, I thought my biggest challenge would be functioning on zero sleep with three-month-old triplets. Lucky for me, supernatural motherhood has a few more surprises in store.
Like ghost children appearing in my nursery. Translucent kids with haunting silver eyes, begging for help I don't know how to give. And the thing that's hunting them is also hunting my babies.
Of course, I can't just let lost souls suffer. So despite the warnings, despite the cost (hello, instant aging), I perform a ritual to help them cross over. Because that's what we do in this family—we help, even when it's stupid.
Big mistake. Huge.
Turns out, saving those echo children caught the attention of something ancient. Something that's been stealing convergence-born children for centuries, trapping them in a place between worlds. And my triplets? They're broadcasting their location like a magical lighthouse.
Now I've got a choice: hide and hope this thing gets bored, or figure out what the hell it's building with all those stolen children before it comes for mine.
You know me. I'm not great at hiding.
So even though I'm sleep deprived, it's time to go on offense and take the fight to an entity that can literally reshape reality. With a network of questionable allies, a familiar who thinks I'm insane, and a husband who's definitely not thrilled about me using our babies as bait.
What could possibly go wrong?
If you like snarky heroines who make terrible decisions for the right reasons, found family that fights together, and cosmic threats that require more than punching, you'll love Postpartum Spells & Infant Hells.

 

What happens when a lonely mechanic falls for the matchmaker trying to brighten his Christmas?

Rory Dunn moved to Trinity Falls last year for a fresh start, close to the only family he has. After years of fixing up motorcycles while trying to dodge a gang in the city, he’s relieved to have a good job at a repair shop in a tight-knit small town where everyone knows his name.

The only problem he can’t seem to solve is the way he feels about Ana Gutierrez, the owner of the local dress shop. Rory’s heart aches every time he catches sight of Ana. But she has a busy life she shares with her mother and the three-year-old nephew she adopted last winter.

Besides, with his unhappy past, Rory isn’t sure he’s worthy of being her man.

So, when Ana tries to set him up with a friend, Rory decides to go along with it. After all, it’s an excuse to spend more time with Ana and her family. And besides, the woman Ana has in mind won’t actually fall for him—he’ll make sure of that.

But as the holiday season kicks into gear, Rory, Ana, and adorable Theo start to spend more time together, and Rory starts to wonder if he can keep his feelings to himself. Especially when just about everyone in town seems to have big opinions about who this mechanic’s Christmas match should really be.

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Village Christmas inspirational series celebrates the people who live and work in a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and find love and meaning in the season.

In the world of smut, the old adage is true—Girls do just wanna have fun.

Whether it’s falling for their best friend or using a bit of blackmail to get their way, these women find a way to get what they want, when they want it.

Join Sinistre Ange for this intoxicating selection of sapphic tales that prove you definitely don’t need a man for a good time… in or out of the bedroom.

 

He lives by the rules. She thrives on breaking them.
 

Attention to detail. Order. Never leaving anything to chance. Those are the qualities that make Riley Ness a terrific NTSB agent—and an absolute nightmare for anyone who believes life should come with a little spontaneity.
 

After a tragic accident bound him to his best friends and turned them into brothers by choice, Riley learned the hard way that risk comes with consequences. These days, he keeps his life controlled and predictable.
 

Summer Sheridan is everything he avoids.
 

Free-spirited, impulsive, and impossible to ignore, she is chaos personified. She lives in the moment, and takes particular pleasure in pushing every one of Riley’s buttons. Worse, she’s made a target of the wildly popular podcast Riley created with his friends, putting the two of them on opposite sides of a very public feud.
 

He thinks she needs a lesson in reality.
 

She thinks he desperately needs to loosen up.
 

But somewhere between the arguing, the teasing, and all that inconvenient chemistry, enemies start looking a lot more like something else. Especially once the fighting turns into kissing.
 

Now Riley must decide what matters more: protecting the life he’s carefully built… or risking it for the one woman who refuses to play by his rules.
 

Falling for each other might be the biggest disaster of all…

 

 

Blurb to come!

 

 

 

As the treasurer for the Grave Prowlers MC, I deal in concrete numbers and brutal realities. And a man who lives by the cold, hard truth should be able to face himself in his darkest days. But I don't do baggage or big feelings. I just square accounts. And the last balance I need to collect is from the man who killed my daughter.

 

I didn't start out as a family man. Far from it, in fact. When Poppy was born, I was hardly a father to her at all. Then Alicia crashed into our lives and quickly worked her way under my skin. A young single mom with the weight of the world on her shoulders, I should have left her alone. But it was impossible to resist her beautiful face, her sassy mouth, or her gigantic heart. Eventually we were raising our girls together. And after we eloped, our son was born.

Somehow, the four of them tamed me. Anchored me. Brought me to life. Then Poppy disappeared.

 

It took five days to find her body. And since I'd been out on a run with the club, it took me no time at all to blame my wife. I failed to protect my baby from the monster who stole her. Then I failed to protect what was left of my family from my grief.

 

Now Alicia and the kids are gone, and I'm a shell of the man I used to be. Fueled by self hatred and an insatiable desire to destroy the man who took my little girl, I don't care how long it takes or what it costs to have my revenge. And after I watch the light disappear from his eyes, I plan to follow my daughter into the dark.

 

But when another child goes missing, I'm forced to face the woman I broke to keep her and our family safe. Having her around again tugs at what's left of my shattered heart, and the more time we spend together, the more I realize she hasn't given up on me completely. The revenge that has consumed me is so close I can taste it. But I wasn't expecting it to come with a second chance at life. For Alicia. For our family. Or for myself.

 

 

 

 

The plague spreading through our magical town is getting worse.

 

As my friends fight to save me, my bond with Cal deepens into something fierce, fragile, and impossible to ignore. But the closer we get to the truth, the more I fear the enemy isn’t lurking in the shadows at all... but standing beside us as an ally.

 

And then there’s the egg.

 

Even weakened, it calls to me. Pulls at me. Changes me.

 

If I can’t stop the dead, my town will fall. But if I hold too tightly to the power binding me to the egg and to the man I’m starting to love could kill me.

 

Will I save the people depending on me... or lose myself, Cal, and everything I’m trying to protect?

 

 

 

 

When a dire wolf shifter’s restraint is tested and a Valkyrie refuses to retreat, one choice will determine what survives when control begins to crack.

My wolf is a dire wolf. He is larger, more aggressive, and harder to rein in than the others. I learned early how to keep him steady and how to hold the line when instinct pushed too hard. Discipline isn’t a choice. It’s survival.

Then Balder Eldridge decides to see what happens when control is compromised. He sends a squad of eitrborn to Briar Glen, but they aren’t here to kill me. They come to destabilize me.

Whatever spell they use on me sharpens every instinct until my wolf rides closer to the surface than ever before. Reactions hit faster. The beast lingers longer after every shift. Holding myself together starts to feel like a fight I can’t afford to lose.

The logical response is distance.
Containment.
Isolation.

Nicky Valen refuses all those options.

She doesn’t flinch when my control slips. She doesn’t try to command my wolf or calm the edge out of me. She meets me head-on, unyielding, fearless, and steady in a way that makes it impossible to retreat.

Balder believes shifters are ruled by instinct. That bonds exist only to restrain us. He wants to fracture what keeps us balanced and prove that, under enough pressure, control always fails.

He’s betting everything on my wolf breaking loose. But control was never something that could be stolen from me. It’s something I choose.

And when the pressure finally becomes too much—when instinct surges and the line starts to crack—I won’t lose myself.

I’ll decide what rises. And I’ll decide who stands with me when I do.

The one thing Balder hasn’t considered is my wolf hates him more than I do.

Before the Control Cracks is a dark, emotionally intense paranormal romance where discipline is tested, instinct is sharpened, and love is forged through choice rather than fate. When control becomes the battlefield, survival depends not on power, but on who you choose to stand with when everything threatens to break.

 

She's his best friend's little sister — off-limits, the line he swore he'd never cross. As the drummer in Jack Wilder's band, Grant has spent years guarding the only family he's ever chosen, watching Luci from a careful distance and saying nothing. Wanting her in silence is the price of keeping them all whole. He's paid it for years.

Then Luci arrives at Crescent Moon Ranch for the month, and the careful distance gets a lot harder to keep.

Because Luci adores her big brother. When they were kids and their single mother worked two jobs to keep the lights on, it was Jack who raised her — Jack who went without so she wouldn't have to, Jack who made sure she got out and became the pediatrician she is today. She owes him everything. And falling for one of his bandmates is the one thing she knows he'd never forgive.

So she's kept it to herself for years, the same as Grant has. Two people, the same secret, the same person they'd both rather die than hurt.

But under a month of Christmas lights and Montana snow, all that careful distance starts to feel less like loyalty and more like the only thing standing between them and the person who's always felt like home.

 

Five years after losing his wife and child in a tragic car accident, Caden “Spider” Renner has resigned himself to a life of grief. Returning to Texas to help care for his ailing mother, he joins Serenity Securities’ Texas team, hoping to earn the money needed for her mounting medical expenses. The last thing he expects is a mission that will take him across the ocean and straight into chaos with a fiery redhead.

When Victoria Rostov asks for a personal favor, Spider is sent to Ireland to locate Kate Brynes. A woman who vanished while honoring her late husband’s final wish to provide medical care to those who need it most. Kidnapped and desperate to survive, Kate trusts no one, especially the rugged Texas cowboy claiming he's there to rescue her.

As bullets fly and betrayal closes in, Spider is injured protecting her, forcing Kate to risk everything to keep them both alive. Fleeing from Ireland to Embers, Texas, their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore. Haunted by loss, bound by promises, and pursued by ruthless enemies, Spider and Kate must decide whether to remain prisoners of the past or risk their hearts for a second chance at love.

 

 

I found a message carved into my basement floor this morning.

It wasn’t a grocery list. Or a passive-aggressive note from a neighbor. Instead, it was an interdimensional inscription in a language older than Hell's entire organizational structure. And it was left by something that opened a door my magic couldn't find. This entity simply did what it came to do and disappeared without a seam.

Vesper is being cryptic about it, which means he knows more than he's saying. Victoria can't identify the signature, which has never happened in her years on the council. And Zane has the look he gets when he's already three steps ahead of the problem, and none of the steps are good.

Turns out someone ancient has been watching me since the moment I fully integrated the Echo. It seems as if there's a woman who's been holding a failing seal together alone for three thousand years, and I'm apparently the reason she's been sending signals into the dark. Turns out Hell was built as a buffer zone and not a punishment system, which explains a lot and makes me significantly angrier about everything that happened inside it.

Also there are people who think the responsible solution here is to kill me before I become someone else's problem.

Let's not forget I have a renovation business to run. There's a subfloor situation at the Kowalski house, and my contractor boyfriend is starting to resent that I say yes to things without calling him first.

Believe me, I understand where he's coming from.

But there's a message in my basement with a blank space in the center, and everything I've learned about dimensional architecture tells me exactly what goes there.

I'm starting to think I've been building toward this since before I knew what I was doing. Either that, or this entire enterprise is about to finally crumble around me.

 

 

Yield to the allure of Nightfall, the city’s shadowy gathering spot for the chosen.

Dare to receive a glowing white or blood moon stamp that reappears mysteriously to grant entry to the hottest club in town. Warning: The owners are ruthless as they hunt for their mates. And they're hungry.

Mara Elliot has a knack for accounts. When her colleague at the bank sends her a file by mistake, an oddity in the Nightfall records catches her eye. An incomplete spreadsheet alerts her that a discrepancy is occurring regularly and covertly. Fearful of losing her job but unable to stand by and watch what could be theft, Mara struggles to contact the nightclub’s owners quietly.

As the clan’s financial expert, Darius focuses on numbers rather than people. While Nightfall flourishes, investors and scammers emerge from the shadows to grab a piece of the nightclub’s lucrative proceeds. When a junior member of the bank staff pesters him to contact her, Darius refuses to waste his time. Then his mate enters Nightfall, and Darius curses himself for losing precious moments with her. Now that he’s found Mara, Darius will wreak havoc on those who threaten her for uncovering their fraudulent scheme.

Warning: The Nightfall Daddies are possessive, primal, and do not shy from violence. Step into their club with caution. The faint of heart may find their world disturbing.

 

 

Primal

I don't play well with others. Solitude suits the lion clawing at my insides. Especially when she's in the room.

Sibley is an anomaly. Older than time but hauntingly pure. She's been waiting for her mate, and she's convinced that I'm him. But I don't do destiny and I'm not interested in forever.

So why can't I get her out of my head and out of my space?

Because the ruthless predator inside me knows the truth. Every time she looks at me, the hunger grows. No matter how high I build the walls, the ancient tether between us just gets stronger. And a beast can only ignore his nature for so long.

Eventually, I'm going to stop running. And when I do, no one will stop me from making her mine.

The Duke of Bolton has hired a matchmaker to help him find his bride this Season... does it not seem odd that he is paying far more attention to his matchmaker than to his prospective matches?

 

 

A Dark Knight biker, a torturous secret, and a road trip that changes everything. Come along for the emotionally wicked ride in this steamy, pulse-pounding small-town standalone romance. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Tattooist Aria Bad has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.

Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny.

Tropes: Small-town, found family, biker romance, close proximity, protective hero, savior hero, friends to lovers.

 

 

It isn’t only her beauty that captures me. No, it’s the sadness in those big gray eyes that pulls me in, threatening to drown me with the strength of my own need.

And when I overhear a man telling her how useless she is, how stupid and worthless, I vow then and there to ensure she never endures another harsh word for as long as she lives.

So I take her, and I bring her home to my family. As is our tradition, I make her my bride, claiming her in front of everyone while she writhes in silent ecstasy on our altar.

But even when I remove the gag from her mouth after the ceremony is completed, she still doesn’t speak. Not to me, not to anyone.

It doesn’t matter though. Even if she never says the words, she's mine now.

And I won’t let anything—or anyone—take her from me.

How much is a year of my life worth?

It turns out the answer is a hell of a lot, but there’s a catch. I’m more valuable asleep than I am awake. Go figure.

They offered me the deal of a lifetime. It was also the only way I could get my life back. Five years in a suspension pod, and when I came to, I’d be a rich man. I’d have more than enough to fix my broken body and start a new life. It would have been perfect—except someone canceled my wake-up call.

Now that I’m awake, I need answers, allies, and the money I’m owed. But first, I need to get my body back.

One weekend. A cooking competition. Camera crews and string lights and tourists who'd never look close enough to see what lived in the shadows behind the charm. The plantation had played this role before—beautiful, composed, hiding its teeth—and the sisters were good at maintaining a mundane appearance. Probably too good.

 

Turns out they should've kept their heads down.

 

Something has been waiting in the bayou south of their property line since before New Orleans had cobblestones. Something long-suffering. Something that perseveres. After all, impatience is for things that haven't learned to fail well. This has failed a hundred times and still returned, sharpened by each defeat. Now there's a crack in the ward that held it out for nearly two centuries, and it's about to overcome that magical bond the way that water finds every weakness in old stone.

 

Then a vampire with knowledge that predates the nation appears like the swell of ocean waves in the hours before a hurricane.

 

She's not here with a warning. Warning implies time. She's here because the bloodlines connecting all nine lineages are waking up. And like it or not, if the Sisters can't hold the line, there won't be anything left worth protecting. Not the plantation. Not the city. Not the lights strung through the oaks that glow at dusk like something holy.

 

The competition finale is in three days.

 

And the ancient power yearning to break free isn't going to wait for the credits to roll.

 

 

Bryn didn't know what she was running from--or what she was running toward.

Until she found them.

 

 

Book 4 in the romantic suspense series Sea Smoke Island.

 

 

She came to Crescent Moon Ranch to film a glossy celebrity wedding — spectacle, fame, a tidy little documentary. Instead, her camera keeps finding Beck Reed: the quiet one, the piano player who holds the whole band together and lets everyone else take the bow.

What the world doesn't know is that Beck could have had the spotlight. Juilliard-trained, classically gifted, the pride of an old-money family with a plan for his life — until he walked away from all of it to play country music in the background of someone else's band. His family hasn't forgiven him. So he's made himself small ever since, certain that being needed is the closest he'll ever get to being wanted. He doesn't expect anyone to look closer. People never do.

Blake does.

But then, Blake has spent her whole life behind a lens. She's the daughter of a legendary documentary filmmaker — a man with four ex-wives and no time for any of them, least of all her — and she learned early that the camera is where you put your attention instead of on the people right in front of you. She took the job her father sneered at as beneath him, determined to prove a wedding could be real art. She didn't count on the truest thing at Crescent Moon Ranch being the man nobody else even notices.

As a slow Montana winter draws them together and the documentary turns from glitz into something honest, Beck and Blake discover they've spent their whole lives running from the same thing in different directions — two kids who disappointed impressive families by choosing warmth over prestige, and learned to disappear rather than be found wanting. He faded into the background. She hid behind the camera. And now the only person either of them wants to be seen by is the one finally looking back.

Tempted & Tantalizing is back with a brand-new, multi-author, two-volume romance anthology where the wilderness is unforgiving, the club business is ruthless, and the heroes run wild and are not to be tested.

 

Fire up your engines and dive into RIPPED, where iron-willed bikers live and love by their own merciless laws. Possessive, lethal, and fiercely loyal to their own, these outlaws will stop at nothing to defend what's theirs, no matter the cost.

 

Then scale the wild heights in RUGGED, and try not to fall for the hard-working men who brave the harshest terrain to carve out a living on their own terms. Armed with endless grit and stoic devotion, these relentless protectors know exactly how to shelter the women they love from any storm.

 

Featuring overlapping storylines, shared small towns, and crossover characters, this pulse-pounding double anthology proves that whether a man works the land or builds an empire, he will give everything he has for the one who holds his heart.

Bastards. Exiles. Humans. Kingdomless heirs. We're the ones no court wants—and the first ones sacrificed when the Trials turn deadly.

They have no idea I'm hiding a secret of my own.

Beyond the academy walls, I'm known as the Raven—a masked assassin whose true identity no one has ever uncovered. Here, I'm just another Unclaimed. And that's exactly how I need it to stay.

Every twenty years, the strongest from each house compete in a series of deadly Trials for a prize worth killing for: one wish granted by the goddess Elyra.

I know exactly what I'm going to wish for.

All I have to do is keep my identity hidden, survive the Trials, and win.

Then there's Leif.

A dangerous warrior from a rival house, he's suspicious of me from the beginning and getting far too close for comfort. I don't trust him. I can't afford to want him.

And I can never let him discover the woman beneath the Raven's mask.

Because no one survives long among the Unclaimed.

I intend to be the exception.
 

Nameless is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy and the first book in The Unclaimed Kingdom series, filled with deadly trials, hidden identities, dangerous secrets, and a heroine no one sees coming.
