On the night of her brother’s murder, Deena Hammond stumbles upon Takumi Tanaka, lost and on the wrong end of a .32. After rescuing him from the certain fate driving through her neighborhood in a Porsche will bring, a sweet kind of friendship begins. A balm for her grief.

Maybe, Deena likes to think, it happened the day her mother killed her father. Or maybe, it was always a part of them, like DNA gone bad. Whatever the case, Deena knows that her family would never approve, hell, never acknowledge, her fast-growing love for Tak. And had he never made love to her in that unraveling, soul-searching sort of way, she could’ve done the same. But loves a devil that way. So, their game begins. One where they hide what they are from everyone. Anyone.

Tak understands this for now. After all, Deena’s career hinges on the favor of her mentor and boss: his hard-ass of a father. And the Hammond family is already stretched thin with grief.

 

Yet, each step Deena takes toward family and career brings her closer to an acceptance she’s never had—and away from him.

After enduring an abusive childhood and having her heart broken by the only boy she trusts, Alexis White vows never to let anyone hurt her again. She’s left her troubled past behind and starts a new life at college. For the past seven years, her social calendar has been filled with frat parties, drinking, and meaningless sexual hook-ups. Until one night she unexpectedly gets saved by a tall, dark, and handsome French foreigner, Luc Blanchard. He’s charming, sophisticated, and very interested in Lexi, who has presented herself as a challenge when she tells him relationships aren’t her thing.

She finds herself sucked in by his own intriguing past. But everything changes when Dylan Priestley, the gorgeous boy who broke her heart and shattered her faith in friendship and love, suddenly shows up in her life again while back home on a visit. Dylan doesn’t hide his feelings for Lexi, but she can’t forgive or forget being betrayed by the one person she ever truly loved.

Despite the pain Dylan’s caused her, Lexi is once again drawn to the blue-eyed boy-next-door. Will Lexi choose the man who seems perfect but hides a dark side or the boy who smashed her heart into pieces so many years ago? 

Fire, meet gasoline

Luke Steele is strictly off-limits. He’s a panty-melting billionaire CEO. Oh, and he also happens to be my boss.

I’m a 25-year-old virgin romance novelist. I’ve never even gotten a guy off before. Crazy, right?

But save the date, cause now we’re engaged.

Maybe fake fiancées don’t wear real rings, but this six carat beast is soooo sparkly…

…This feels real after all!

George Walbroch is well known in college. As one of the star players of the school’s all-star football team, he has enjoyed the kind of popularity that only being an athlete could provide. With that came the influx of women who wished to sleep with him, causing him to become a bit of a playboy as a result. His fun times, however, are about to come to an end. He is graduating college now, and his father is insistent that he come home once his summer internship is finished so he can take over the family business. Not wanting his last time of freedom to go to waste, he ends up informing Brianna Meitner, his coworker, of the crush that he has had on her for a long time. Upon revealing that they would only have two months together before he would have to leave, Brianna gets understandably upset that he would wait so long. Still, deep inside, she has feelings for him too.

 

She wants to date him, but fears that she will lose him as soon as she grows used to having him. Will they be able to overcome their fears in order to live up to their feelings?

Solomon

Women come and go from my bed but they’ll never have my heart.

There’s only one girl I’m committed to and that’s my six-year-old daughter.

Every dirty deal I make is to secure a good future for her.

When I find Natalie in the back of my truck ready to die fighting, everything gets flipped upside down.

I saved her life and took her home. Her stay was supposed to be temporary but I don’t want her to leave.

I want to feel her soft, sweet body writhing underneath me, begging for more and never stopping.

But what’s really got my head spinning?

My daughter wants a mother.

Natalie

I escaped Hell only to run right into the arms of another demon.

But Solomon says he won’t hurt me, not in that way.

He’ll keep them from finding me, but can I trust him?

He’s just another criminal working with the one who captured me.

I feel ruined from what I’ve been through but somehow, he makes my body come alive again.

He reminds me what pleasure feels like and I can’t get enough.

I’m beyond torn in multiple directions but that’s not the most confusing part.

How can a tattooed, muscle-bound criminal also be such a caring, devoted father? 

 

Note: This is a standalone story.

Everything in my life was exactly how I wanted it, until Kevin needed a favor from me. He had to go on a sudden business trip and he wanted me to house his daughter. She was down from England.

Hell, I needed a teenager living with me like I needed a hole in my head. I had a hot date lined up that night as well, but Kevin and I go a long way back, so I reluctantly agreed.

I tried to remember Madison. Skinny, braces, pigtails, so shy she couldn’t look me in the eye.

Then I go to his house to pick her up and this sexy blonde bombshell comes down the stairs and WHOA! What can I say?

I know it’s wrong. She’s my best friend’s daughter. It could ruin everything, but I don’t care. I can’t resist the temptation.

I need to whisper in her ear: You’re Daddy’s girl now.
