Layla
Blue eyes through a windshield. That was all I saw before he hit me with his car.
When I woke up in the hospital, I was shocked to find Mr. Blue Eyes there in all his GQ glory—and even more surprised that he was willing to watch over me while I recovered.
See, Cole was my polar opposite. Even though I had agreed to help him sort out his family issues, falling for him was never part of the plan.
Too bad planning was never my strong suit…
Cole
The way we met? Classic bad timing. But she was exactly what I needed.
Because if I wanted to break free of my family’s demands forever, I needed my inheritance. And the only way to get that was to marry.
A marriage of convenience to the tattooed free spirit I had hit with my car could solve all my problems.
Falling in love with her, however, could cause so many new ones. Logically, I knew that.
But when it came to Layla, my heart didn’t care at all about logic—or Bad Timing…

The moment I saw her, I knew she’d be mine.
The only problem is she’s my band’s manager, and if we get caught, she loses her job.
I only wanted one night with her. One night to fuck her out of my system and be done with her.
The only problem is after one taste of Pen, I’m addicted. I can’t get enough of her, and she’s pushing me away.
She says what we had is a lapse in judgement, but I have to disagree. It’s the most sane thing I’ve ever done, and I’ll do anything to get her back underneath me, beside me, and to make her mine even if that means ruining what I’ve worked so hard to build up.

BLURB:
The first three suspenseful romance books in the Mafia Elite series are full of strong men and women who navigate arranged marriages, forbidden relationships, and second chances that will keep you guessing until the very end.
No Way Out: Max’s endgame is clear—take back what’s rightfully his and punish those who have wronged him. But when Max infiltrates a vital arm of the Chicago Mafia and encounters Liliana, everything changes.
A pawn in her father’s bid for power, Liliana's only escape is in his choice of husband. She thinks Max is her enemy. The truth is, he's her savior.
Blood Oath: Heir to a throne, Chicago Mafia underboss Enzo Vitale will do anything to keep Sofia safe, but his presence in her life puts a target on her back. Up-and-coming fashion designer Sofia La Rosa fell in love with her best friend years ago. She’ll sacrifice anything for Enzo, even as a wall of secrets steadily builds between them.
But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. When the enemy learns of Sofia’s involvement in a former cover-up, they’re out for blood, driving her to the very man who vowed to be her savior no matter the cost.
Born in Darkness: Destined to be king, Mafia underboss Stefano Rossi bides his time until the throne is his and he can claim the only woman he wants by his side. To show interest in her will place a deadly target on her back, especially while his ruthless father lives. But he has a plan to change everything, and when they learn there’s a rat in the Chicago outfit, it’s time to act.
Emiliana Vitale’s enemies are his, and when her life is threatened, Stefano takes matters into his own hands to ensure her safety. As they grow closer, so do their enemies. But he’s ready for them. Nothing will keep him from Emiliana, and he’ll slay anyone who threatens what’s his.
BLURB:
What started with tragedy ends in love.
After the helicopter crash that shattered their family, a connection was born between the ones left behind. And from that tragedy, two epic love stories rose from the ashes.
Lines were crossed.
Choices were made.
Love was found.
Three men,
two women,
One Wilde story.
**The Wilde Boys duet is a boxset of Gravity and Free Fall.
For years, I’ve dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant.
It didn’t matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end.
It led me to him.
My future was clear, and he was it.
Until suddenly ... he wasn’t.
Now I’m a shell of who I was, on a path too blurry to follow, and I see no way out.
No way up.
They say first loves last forever.
That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.
BLURB:
The best man is actually the worst.
My best friend is getting married, and I'd be remiss as the maid of honor and a successful event planner if I didn't make sure she has the best wedding ever.
My biggest hurdle?
The best man.
He's my worst nightmare all wrapped up in a suit—an old ex's best friend and an arrogant playboy who thinks he's God's gift to womankind.
The problem is, he's not entirely wrong. As a professional football player, he has plenty of experience getting women. He's sexy, flirty, and charming—when he wants to be. And also aggravating and irritating and in my business far too much of the time.
Our attraction is—unfortunately—undeniable. I know giving into him is a bad idea, but he convinces me anyway. Just once, to get it out of our systems.
Except when we end up stranded together on a remote island, once might not be enough ...
And maybe he's not the worst man after all.
Ex's & Oh's is a steaming hot enemies to lovers romance featuring a straight-laced events planner who knows exactly what she wants and the playboy athlete who shouldn't want her but does anyway. Lust, laughs, and an HEA guaranteed!
BLURB:
I have the best boyfriend in the whole world, but there’s one thing I won’t tell him. It’s that I don’t believe in absolute happiness anymore. Not with the cards we’ve been dealt. While he’s been pining after Lucian, one of the Masters in his kink community, I’m the lovesick monster-puppy Little who can’t forget my former stepdad KC. Or the kinky porn I once found on his computer…but that’s beside the point! The point is… I have a point. The point is that now the world’s best boyfriend has gotten the worst idea in the universe. He insists we seek out a Dom for our relationship in the very community where we can find both KC and Lucian. It spells heartbreak and trouble, if you ask me!

BLURB:
Forged in darkness and controlled in silence, I was caged for other’s twisted perversions. It wasn’t until four dark knights swooped in and sliced through the ropes binding me that I was finally free. They were supposed to be my saviors, but I was wrong. So. Incredibly. Wrong. The men who purchased me from my father are monsters—worse than those who haunt the shadows of my past.
At first, they whispered sweet promises of freedom, but now they say I’m theirs to keep. To own. I’m nothing more than a prisoner once again. Only this time, I might not need saving. Especially when their brand of darkness soothes the shattered pieces of my poisoned soul, and sets my desire for vengeance ablaze.

BLURB:
From USA Today bestselling author A. M. Madden comes a strangers-to-lovers stand-alone novel about a woman whose father leaves her a building in New York—along with an impossible-to-resist co-owner.
Do you know that feeling when life is moving along without incident, but in your gut you sense something is coming? Yeah… me too.
That something turned out to be property I inherited from my estranged father. One small problem: my father lived in New York City, while I live in California. Oh, another thing… my dad thought it’d be a good idea to split the building he owned in SoHo between me and his tenant, the undeniably maddening Brad Navarro.
An interesting thing about Brad, though—he is an identical triplet. Yes, there are three of these gorgeous specimens walking the earth. Another fun fact—he owns a successful bar on the ground floor of the address we now share, as well as the entire first floor… but I own floors two, three, and four. Nice and complicated, right?
I simply can’t be tied to this man. Besides the fact I happen to love my life in California, I want no connection to the cocky, arrogant, ridiculously gorgeous, sexy-as-sin, thinks he’s God’s gift to women, walking orgasm who can rock my world with that damn smirk—
Um, I digress. Anyway, I just can’t.
Of course I suggested that we sell, which earned me the nickname She-Devil, and I believe his exact words were “not a chance in hell.”
So now I need to figure out a way to make hell freeze over. My chances of that happening are slim. Plan B would be to simply ignore him, go back to my life, and pretend he hadn’t crashed into it.
But try telling that to my libido, because ignoring Brad Navarro is easier said than done.
Not a Chance in Hell is book 3 in the stand-alone novel series, Navarro Triplets.
BLURB:
From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a second chance sports romance.
I was a god on the field and a legend in the bedroom.
Football was my life; women were merely a hobby. I had no interest in settling down until...
Sophie.
She was supposed to be a one-night stand. Like all the rest.
Except, she was nothing like them.
Her smile.
Her laugh.
The way she made me feel…
Make no mistake, I wanted her in a way I’d never wanted any woman before. But the next morning, she just disappeared from my bed and my life, leaving me feeling empty. Only to show up unexpectedly weeks later to tell me…
She’s pregnant.
Oh, did I forget to mention she’s my coach’s daughter?

Hotshot playboy and devilishly handsome hockey winger, Declan McAvoy, is a big man on campus and I’m just the nerdy little sister of his teammate... or I was until I let it slip I had never been kissed.
With the NHL draft hanging over his head and my brother at his side—both on and off the ice—I’m afraid I’ll be stuck in the friend zone forever. The way I feel about Declan and his stormy gray eyes is anything but friendly.
He has secrets to keep and I have a story to write…
If we cross the line, complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.
He might be known as a callous player, but he’s one player I’m willing to gamble on.
Declan
This is my year to draft to the NHL and nothing can stand in my way… especially not a complication like kissing my teammate’s little sister.
Poppy is beautiful, brilliant—and off-limits.
For the first time in my life, I’ve found someone worth the risk, but she deserves better than keeping secrets and sneaking around behind her brother’s back.
On the ice I have it all figured out, but when it comes to her... I’m all out of plays.
The stakes are higher than ever... and my heart isn’t the only thing on the line.
She has an article to finish, and I have a pro career to focus on.
Falling for Poppy could mean game over for both of us, but that won’t stop me from wanting to make her mine.

My attraction to her is wrong. I’m like the serpent in the Garden of Eden targeting Eve. Corrupting her.
I understand the serpent, though. When you’ve seen the worst of humanity, taken the brunt of evil, you crave purity and goodness. You want compassion and courage, even when it comes in a girl far too young and innocent for the likes of you.
Nell:
He says I’m too young and he’s too experienced.
He thinks I’m pure and he’s ruined.
He swears I don’t know enough and he knows too much.
He walks away because I’m fragile and he’s broken.
I want him, even though he can’t want me...
But he does.
One damaged woman who was afraid to love again.
One broken man who was lost to anger and darkness.
One perfect love.
“Say my name.”
“You’re My Harper.”
Love wasn’t worth the pain of disappointment and rejection that followed, so Harper Collingswood locked up her heart and swore she would never allow another man to break it. However, Harper couldn’t have anticipated Bennett McIntyre crashing into her life. Literally. Some would call it fate. Some would claim serendipity. Others would say it was destiny. Whatever it was called, it was terrifying. Harper had barely survived one tragedy. Would she be able to survive Bennett as well?
Bennett McIntyre used to have dreams. He used to laugh and be the center of attention. Mr. Popular who had women clamoring to catch his eye and his attention. He was a rising star in baseball with a bright future ahead of him. But he wasn’t that person anymore. Bennett was broken. He was quick to anger and he used his fists to deal with his problems. He hadn’t spoken a word in six months. He gave up his dream of baseball and refused to pick up a glove or a bat. He hated being touched. He just wanted the world to disappear and leave him the hell alone. Bennett wasn’t prepared to come face-to-face with the angel who had saved him on that horrific day six months ago. He wasn’t at all prepared for Harper Collingswood.
Could Bennett become the man who Harper needed and deserved, or would he drag her down into the darkness with him? Would he be able to protect her when a threat from her past came back to claim her?
Reader’s Note and Trigger Warning: Wanderlost is a steamy, New Adult, friends to lovers, college, small town, sports romance, and the second book in The Montgomerys series of stand-alone novels. You do not have to read the other books in The Montgomerys or the Fallen Brook Series to read Wanderlost; however, Wanderlost is part of the Fallen Brook world of books, and characters from previous books will pop up in the story. Each stand-alone in The Montgomerys series focuses on one of Fallon Montgomery’s half-siblings. Wanderlost is Harper’s story. Wanderlost touches upon topics that may be triggering to some sensitive readers such as flashbacks to an active shooter situation in a school setting, depression, drinking, violence, and reference to drug use. The story also contains foul language. Any sexual intimacy between the characters is consensual. For these reasons, the book is recommended for mature readers aged 17+.

Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.
Newly-minted firefighter Abby Sullivan is exactly where she wants to be: Chicago Fire Department’s Engine 6, the station where her mom blazed a trail as one of the first female firefighters in the city. The first to fall in the line of duty, too. All Abby wants is to succeed, but that’s a tough proposition when people only see a feel-good story, a token woman failing at a man’s job, or the princess in need of protection. And the man tasked with watching her six?
Lieutenant Roman Rossi, the one person she can’t let close.
Having the daughter of his boss and nemesis under his wing shouldn’t be a problem for Roman—he’s a professional and can treat her like any other firefighter rookie. Except she happens to be the gorgeous woman he once shared a slice of cherry pie with, followed by the hottest, sweetest, most pulse-pounding kiss of his life. He didn’t know her name but he had planned to find out.
Now Roman knows exactly who Abby is: a threat to his self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles Roman wants to map with his tongue, is one he can ill afford.
Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.
Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.
