A shifter betrayed by family…A girl caught in a web of lies…They can run from the truth, but it will find them. Betrayal comes in a lot of different forms. The rejection of a mother. The loss of a wife. And at its worst, the abduction of a child. Nick’s heart has been torn and twisted so many times his chest is little more than a cavity of scar tissue.

Then, for the first time in years…a single, tiny pulse.

Nick’s fought long and hard to win back his little girl and give them both the life his late wife would have wanted. He hopes the new nanny, Maggie, will help bridge the chasm between them, and encourage the girl to see him as more than the monster she’s been raised to believe he is.

But Maggie has her own secrets, like the fact Nick sends heat rushing through her body each time she meets his eyes. Their chemistry is undeniable, but she can’t succumb to the attraction.

Because if he knew the truth about her, she’d smash the last fractured pieces of his heart beyond all hope of repair.

Phoebe

A caveman tricked me. It was the oldest trick in the book. And I fell for it. I’m inside a pitch black leather sack, being carried away from my village and the other Earth girls. I scream and kick, but nobody can hear me. I know what this means. The giant caveman carrying me is taking me to his tribe. I’m the only woman he’s been this close to. And these guys like to abduct Earth girls and impregnate them. It won’t work with me. I’ll escape the first chance I get. And if escape is impossible, I’ll kill him. Or myself.

I can be tricky, too.

Rax’tar

It was remarkably easy to capture this alien woman. It is a sign from the Ancestors, of course. She is meant to be mine. And what a woman she is! Small, soft and luxuriously round. She makes my blood sizzle just by existing. I have plans for her. Taking her from her alien village was the first step.

The other men will be so surprised when I arrive with her!

This is so awkward.

My brother’s s*xy best friend is now my new boss. Christian used to be a nerd back when we were teenagers. But now, he’s a blazingly hot professor. And a single dad. He’s hired me as his nanny. The girl who’s always lusted after him. It’s impossible to keep my distance from him. To ignore the attraction when all I want to do is kiss him.…and indulge in some really dirty little things. It’s true that we should stay professional. But we’ve got history. A long history of wanting each other. So, now might be my only chance to be a little stupid. To fulfill those fantasies. 

As long as I don’t lose my heart to him in the process. 

Damian

My life is, and always has been, about fast cars and fast women respectively. That’s how I like it. So why, when a sweet beautiful author ghosts me after a record two-month long streak of dates, does it bother me so much? I don’t call women repeatedly. But I called Layna repeatedly. I don’t send text after text, yet I did to her. I don’t sulk over women, but man I’m sulking. I tell the guys it’s her loss, but that’s a lie. It’s my loss and I want her back, but I have my pride. 

She cut me off, so be it. I’m no beggar. 

Layna

I had two rules in life. Protect my heart and don’t date players. When I met Damian Ricci I broke them both. Things started getting serious and Damian’s not serious relationship material. When the opportunity presented itself I let him go with a heavy heart in the most cowardly way possible, I ghosted him. Now I have something to share with him. Something life changing and important. 

But how can I after the way I left things?

 Note: This is a standalone story. 

When Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix attends a charity bachelor/bachelorette auction as a favor for a friend, he’s stunned to see his squad mate’s gorgeous sister, Hanna Masterson, walk across the stage. She’s grown even more stunning in the years since he’d met (and very nearly made out with) her at the end of basic training. When Jake overhears other bidders talking about her, his alpha protector instinct kicks in and he decides to bid on her himself. He thinks he’s saving her. What he didn’t expect was how upset she’d be at him.

Hanna has developed a checklist of qualities she wants in a man. Someone reliable, dependable, and family oriented who can provide for her and their children. She doesn’t need the likes of Jake Hendrix—smoking hot as he is—getting in the way of her man hunt. She’d been hoping the auction might pair her with a potential long-term match, but alas she just got her brother’s hot squad mate who has “one night only” written all over him.

But the date actually goes well—really well. Best sex of her life well. But the following day, Jake immediately pulls back, just as she expected. Romance only gets in the way of doing his job: protection has no room for passion. Resigned to their night together being nothing more than a blip in the road, Hanna’s unsettled when a pregnancy test turns that blip into a major speedbump. 

Before she can tell Jake she’s pregnant, something far more unexpected lands on her plate. One of her high-profile clients has been murdered, and because he’s shared certain information with Hanna, the killers will stop at nothing to silence her. 

Despite his promises to stay uninvolved, Jake can’t help but protect Hanna, baby bump and all, insisting they go on the run as they dig deeper into the dangerous situation they’ve found themselves in. But as the threat closes in on their secluded safe house, their biggest problem might just be falling in love and losing it all…

“Pretend I’m yours and make my ex pay.” Hell I’ll help her forget his very name.  

D*mn paparazzi’s having a frenzy.  This low key trip is just what I need.

In comes the goddess. She has me stopped in my tracks. A scheme I can’t refuse. Pretend she’s mine. And a week in paradise together. 

I’ll do that and more. I’ll taste her. I’ll caress her. And I’ll claim her every inch.  

But Lizzie disappeared after she discovered my secret. Will my past cost me everything? Or can she forgive me for my royal screw-up?

Falling in love with a journalist wasn’t in the plans.

Life has been nothing shy of entertaining since I was a boy. 

Adopted by the wealthiest family in Qatar. 

I’m a businessman with no desire for the wealth or responsibility my family holds. 

But life didn’t ask me. And as usual, the curve ball it threw my way was terrible timing. 

The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen showed up. Notepad in hand.

My family is going to hate her. We don’t share our secrets. 

But she’s got me wrapped around her fingers almost from the start. It’s her or them. 

She might feel inadequate to belong in my world, but it’s me that’s unworthy of her.

When you’re a paramedic, damsels in distress are a dime a dozen. You save them, you slay them, you kick them to the curb.

But Sofia’s different. Shot in the head and left for dead, she has no one. She can’t remember anything, much less the as$hole who did this to her.

I know it’s not my duty to sit by her bed twenty-four seven, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to leave her alone. Someone tried to hurt her before and failed. Screw them if they think they’re getting a second chance. She’s mine now, which means I’m going to protect her no matter what.

Even if I have to bring back the inner soldier I’ve tried so hard to forget.

When I broke up with Mr. Boring, I knew that I needed to do something crazy.

I picked a random spot on the map, and off I went. A one-night stand was all part of the spontaneity of the trip. But I never counted on being snowed in on Miki Island, stuck under the same roof as my fling. And I definitely never counted on falling in love with him. 

All I know is that he’s totally not my type, but I can’t help thinking about if there’s a chance for a future with him…

Wallflowers and rakes do seldom mix well. 

Miss Chloe Larkin is completely assured of that. Especially when said rake is a member of the Waverly family–the people responsible for a feud that has been ongoing since practically the dawn of time. 

But he comes offering a deal… 

The centuries-old feud between the Larkins and the Waverlys has taken its toll. Brook Waverly wants this fight solved. Now. His ageing father cannot take much more of the stress and he’s determined the problem shall be resolved before he comes to inherit. 

So he needs her help… 

Chloe is distrustful of Mr.Waverly–and rightly so. Not only is he her lifelong enemy but he has a reputation that would make the most experienced of women blush. And boy does he make this wallflower blush! However, she has little interest in continuing the silly feud and, with her little brother set to inherit one day and her father’s failing health, the sooner it is all over, the better. 

Working with the handsome, and far too charming Mr.Waverly to get their fathers to come to an agreement is…interesting. Especially when he seems to be less concerned with ending the feud and more interested in her. Can she really trust him or is this just another way for his family to get their revenge on hers?
