ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2024

I’d traded my hand in marriage for his help so I’d save my seat at the Syndicate’s table.

Now, I had a secret husband.

Cold and calculating Killian Brennan Cullen.

The hottest man I’d ever met.

And the heir to the Irish Cullen mafia

He promised to be a gentleman by day. But it was the nights that worried me. In the dark of the night he was commanding, ruthless, and possessive.

The agreement was two years. He’d protect me and my position in the Syndicate.

But who would protect me from him?

REVIEW:RAVENOUS KINGPIN is the fourth instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult KINGPINS OF THE SYNDICATE dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Killian Cullen, and Emory DiLustros’ story line. RAVENOUS KINGPIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Killian and Emory) RAVENOUS KINGPIN focuses on the forced marriage and relationship between our story line couple. Approximately six years earlier, Killian and Emory had a one-night stand but Emory ghosted Killian, never to be seen again. Fast forward six years, Emory DiLustros, along with her ruthless father, is a founding member of the Syndicate, and as such controls a large portion of Nevada and Las Vegas territories but Emory lost more than her innocence six years earlier, and has been on the hunt to bring it home. Killian demands Emory’s hand in marriage but a life together means Emory must keep her secrets close to her heart. Meanwhile, a human trafficking ring is targeting women and children, and Emory is the latest target.

The world building follows the tumultuous relationship between Emory and Killian; the search for the lost; a human trafficking ring in Emory’s territory, and the culmination of lost and found.

The relationship between Emory and Killian is one of second chances, of a sorts. Six years earlier Killian fell in love with our story line heroine but Emory’s life imploded leaving her a strong and more deadly version of herself. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story lines. From the Russian Bratva, Italian Mafia, South American Cartel and the Irish Mob, the power elite are determined to take back control.

RAVENOUS KINGPIN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession, acceptance and love. Once again, the premise is dark, dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are broken, dynamic and powerful.

“What the fuck are you doing here, Atticus?”

Killian’s cold voice sent chills down my spine even though it wasn’t directed at me. I’d dealt with my fair share of monsters, but my husband had a ruthless side to him that he hid behind his charming smile.

It probably blindsided people when he attacked; they’d never expect it from someone as beautiful as him.

“Emory and I have business to discuss,” Atticus drawled. I’d been buying time ever since our last encounter, ignoring his messages, hoping to find a solution and the location of the person I’d been looking for without his help.

But the old man was nothing if not persistent.

“Whatever you’ve got to say, now is not the time. And you’re trespassing,” Killian warned. “Tell me why I shouldn’t have my guards shoot you right now.”

“Because this business,” Atticus started, looking at me pointedly, “is the only thing standing between life and death.” He waved his hand nonchalantly. “Besides, they now work for me and the ones who refused are dead.”

Killian obviously thought him full of shit because he wasn’t moved. “My wife’s business is my business, so spit it out and be on your way.”

Dread coursed through me at the knowledge that I brought this dangerous man to our doorstep. I should have never made a deal with him, but desperate times called for desperate measures. And God, I was so fucking desperate.

“Atticus, this isn’t a good time,” I gritted, trying to keep my cool. I couldn’t let Killian learn my secret. Not now.

My heart raced as I watched Killian’s cold gaze lock on the man who held the key to the only thing I cared about.

Atticus’s eyes were on me, his lips lifting into a sick grin as he said, “My beautiful Emory. Time is of the essence if you want your answers.”

I wondered if Atticus was like my father, who had a way of bending the illusion of normality so that it forever stayed out of my grasp.

“What fucking answers?” Killian demanded.

Atticus ignored him. “Let me remind you of our deal: you give me a name, and I’ll give you yours along with the location. Two for one. See? Don’t ever say I’m not generous.”

“What the fuck is he talking about, Em?” Killian repeated.

“I waved my hand nonchalantly while my heart threatened to beat through my rib cage. “This guy’s lost his mind.”

Atticus chuckled as if I’d uttered the funniest joke, but there was little humor in his eyes as they studied me.

“Stop looking at her that way, or I’ll dig your eyeballs out of your skull,” Killian warned, his spine stiff, violence in his posture as he blocked me from the bastard’s view.

“This doesn’t concern you, Irishman,” Atticus stated calmly, batting away Killian’s threat. “Emory DiLustro should be grateful for my patience.”

“Her name is Emory Cullen and you better learn to use it,” Killian hissed, his eyes screaming murder. “My wife owes you nothing, and if you don’t get out of here, I’ll secure you a trip six feet under.”

Atticus’s nostrils flared, his gaze now on Killian. It would seem my husband’s reputation preceded him: Killian Cullen did not make empty threats.

Panic zinged through me as my thoughts whirled with a dozen what-ifs, but it was a moot point. I learned a long time ago that you had little say in the cards you were dealt.

I eyed my surroundings for a weapon before remembering Killian kept a gun hidden underneath the table in my foyer.

I took a small step back at the same time Atticus drew two guns, aiming them at my husband and me.

“Don’t move, Emory,” Atticus stated, his voice lethal. “Or you’ll be planning your husband’s funeral.” My movements halted and I leveled him with a glare. “Good girl,” he purred. “Now get back to your husband.”

“Don’t fucking move,” Killian said, his eyes still locked on the unwelcome visitor. “Stay exactly where you are, Em.”

“I was so fucking sick and tired of men telling me what to do. Yes, Killian had my best interests at heart, but I could protect myself. I survived two decades under one of the cruelest men in the Syndicate, for fuck’s sake. I deserved some credit.

“Let’s make this quick,” Atticus said with a twisted smirk, “so you two lovebirds can get back to professing your love for one another.”

I should never have trusted this asshole. My cousins and brother wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole and would have advised against my dealings with him had I asked.

But I didn’t ask. Atticus was my ticket to get to her, and that was more important than my pride.

“Unless you want to talk about…” Atticus trailed off, and somehow I knew whatever he was about to say would change my world forever. “Do you want to talk about Amara? You could see her by this time tomorrow.”

Amara. Amara. Amara.

The shock rocked me to my core at finally learning her name. All these years of searching and I finally got that little piece of information that I should’ve had all along.

“Who in the fuck is Amara?” Killian’s voice startled me out of my stupor and my mind raced through a thousand answers.

“It’s now or never, Emory,” Atticus stated matter-of-factly. “Who matters more? Who do you love more? Your husband or…”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2024

The worst secrets are the ones you can never tell.

I’ve become an expert at hiding bruises.
No one knows about the scars I hide under my clothes … except for my best friend, Embry.
One horrible night, things go too far, and Embry insists on sending her cousin to help.
A wild, inked, bad boy and member of a notorious biker club.
I didn’t count on him riding to my rescue with two of his MC brothers.
The three overbearing, possessive outlaws won’t take no for an answer.

Slash, Embry’s cousin and my secret crush. I never told him how I felt. He’s a reckless, dangerous, brooding giant who growls every word. He’s rumored to have earned his road name through his ruthless skill with a blade.

Gunner, the trio’s older, more experienced alpha, insists on keeping his distance and barking orders. But the look in those stormy gray eyes betrays his struggle, especially when they flash with heat and raze my body with their smolder.

And then there’s Havoc, a pierced, tattooed playboy with lean muscle and coiled strength. He’s left a mile-long line of broken hearts in his wake. But when his dark eyes focus on me, I swear he’s plotting how to maim everyone who’s ever hurt me.

The three bikers swear to keep me safe.
They won’t rest until the threat against me is eliminated.
But they didn’t know what they’d dig up. Lies, corruption, and a trafficking ring are only the beginning.
My father’s debts and horrifying choices reveal truths I can’t escape.
The only way I’m surviving this mess is to trust the Feral Rebels MC.
And let Slash, Gunner, and Havoc claim me.

••••

REVIEW:CLAIMED BY THE BIKERS is the first instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult FERAL REBELS MC dark, erotic, MC romance, set in the author’s RBMC: Tonopah NV and RBMC: Las Vegas. This is Molly, Slash, Gunner and Havoc’s reverse harem story.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

There is a slight paranormal aspect with the inclusion of the RBMC: Tonopah MC.

Told from four first person perspectives (Molly, Slash, Gunner and Havoc) CLAIMED BY THE BIKERS follows the building relationship between Molly and her men. Molly had lusted after her best friend Embry’s cousin Slash for as long as she could remember but Molly believed Slash never knew she existed until the day Molly disappeared, fighting for her life, a victim of the Bladed Serpents MC. Witnessing horrific acts against other woman, Molly prayed for a rescue from our story line heroes, a rescue that brings her up close and personal with her future in the guise of Slash, Gunner and Havoc.

The world building focuses on the search and rescue of our story line heroine, not once but twice: the three men who have promised to protect her with their lives; and the people who target our story line heroine and why.

The relationship between Holly, and Slash, Gunner and Havoc begins as a rescue but Holly and Slash had previously danced around once another, a dance that now involved two other men. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of RBMC: Tonopah, RBMC: Vegas, the Feral Rebels MC, and the Bladed Serpents MC.

CLAIMED BY THE BIKERS is a story of betrayal and obsession, friendships and family, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and dark; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

by Nikki Landis
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, MC, paranormal, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date: September 30, 2024

One night, three bikers, a shared bottle of whiskey, and the best climax of my life changed everything.

I’ve always been a good girl.

My father is a preacher, and I’ve spent my life making safe choices and following all the rules.

But when I find the man who swore to love me in bed with another woman, I can’t pretend to honor, love, and cherish any longer. He betrayed me and emptied our bank account. I lost everything.

That’s when I met Raptor, Trojan, and War. Three inked bad boys and members of a notorious biker club.

Trojan, the flirt with a sensual smile and eyes full of promise. His husky words make me want to do wicked things.

Raptor, rough, inked, and muscled. His hulking strength and skill with a blade are why he’s the cleaner of the club, but his protective nature makes me feel warm and safe.

And then there’s War. He’s broken, guarded, and doesn’t understand personal boundaries. The darkness in his eyes seems like a warning, but I feel drawn to his heated gaze.

The three men offer to give me the best night of my life. I let them, breaking all the rules for one night. But six weeks later, I’m left with a present. I’m sick, and it isn’t the stomach flu.

I’m pregnant. With twins.

Things grow more complicated when my ex tries to intimidate me, causing problems and sending threats. I’m in danger.

Trojan, War, and Raptor won’t allow anything to happen to me or the babies. We’re a family now.

 

•••••••••

REVIEW:ONE NIGHT WITH THE BIKERS is the second instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult FERAL REBELS MC erotic, MC, slightly paranormal, reverse harem series, set in the multi-authored RBMC:Tonopah, LV. This is Sydney Parrish, Trojan, Raptor and War’s story line. ONE NIGHT WITH THE BIKERS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from four first person perspectives (Sydney Parrish, Trojan, Raptor, War) ONE NIGHT WITH THE BIKERS focuses on the one-night stand, and ensuing relationship between Sydney Parrish and her bikers. Approximately six months earlier, Sydney’s ex Daryl took everything, including her money and her self respect. When her best friend Becca suggested a night at the Feral Rebels MC clubhouse where her brother was a member, Sydney jumped in feet first but six weeks later Sydney discovered she is pregnant and didn’t know who is the  father: Trojan, Raptor or War. Fast forward several months, Sydney’s ex refuses to back down, and her life and the lives of her children are in danger. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Sydney and the bikers, and the potential fall-out when a betrayal from within threatens the lives of Sydney and the babies.

The world building is fast and furious. One night together: homelessness, a surprise pregnancy; new friends, threats, and betrayal. Raptor, War and Trojan never forgot about the woman who ghosted them the next day but their attempts to find her were weak and lame 😉

The relationship between Sydney and her bikers begins as foursome; a one-night stand to blow off some steam but Sydney never expected to get pregnant, lose her home, or find herself facing a future alone. Reconnecting with the bikers, Sydney finds herself with a new family, friends and a future but no everyone is happy with the situation. The $ex scenes are limited but provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to Sydney’s new friend Clarise; club bunny ‘Barbie’; Sydney’s ex Daryl; as well as the return of Molly (Claimed by the Bikers 1), and RBMC Tonopah LV’s white reaper / tracker Bones.

ONE NIGHT WITH THE BIKERS is a fast paced, quick read focusing on secrets, betrayal, acceptance and love. The premise is entertaining yet dramatic but I wish there was a little more time spent with the foursome; the characters are dangerous, determined and dynamic.

Vaughn (Broken Falls 5) by Laramie Briscoe-review & excerpt tour

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 28, 2024

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don’t watch him when he’s not looking.

He’s not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He’s had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies.

I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn’t accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.

Now that I’ve decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I’m willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to hold off.

I’m terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I’ve always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he’ll have no problem saying yes…

••••

REVIEW: Vaughn is the next installment in The Broken Falls series by Laramie Briscoe. Each book is a standalone in the series, but interconnected and recommended to read in series order. For those that like a small-town, forced proximity, found family, secret cinnamon roll romance, this one’s for you.

This lovely little novella is Val and Vaughn’s story. For a book with less than 200 pages, there was a lot to unpack with this story. Val is a new addition to Broken Falls, and coming from a less than conventional (aka cult like) family, she is somewhat sheltered and surprised to see how the people of the small town welcome her. Vaughn is a linesman, and work takes up the majority of his time, but there is just something about Val that has him breaking his normal routine. The more time they spend together, the more and more they like each other, and not just as friends.

But like life does, it catches up to you and this time it’s coming for Val. Vaughn goes into protection mode and makes it his life mission to ensure that she sees this next mess through. To say that Val had a toxic family would be an understatement, but Vaughn is more worried about her safety than anything, and will do anything to make sure she is safe, this makes Val fall even more in love with him of course.

I really was pretty surprised with the plot in this story. When I saw how short the novella was, I didn’t expect it to be so well thought out and developed. Novella’s are short and quick, many times with a fun, cute little peak of a couple or something, but this one was so well thought out and well done. My heart went out to Val for all she had suffered with her crazy family, but also how to survive it and made it to a better place and her happily ever after. Vaughn was everything she needed and more, and I think she was what he needed as well.

She looks around. “I forgot where we were, I’m glad you at least kept your head about you.”

If she only knew, I’m ready to get her behind closed doors so that we can get to know one another in the carnal way I’d like. “I wouldn’t say I kept my head about me, I’m just very motivated to get you alone, Val. Let’s go.”

Her lips part on a gasp when I reach down and put my hands at her hips, lifting her up and encouraging her to wrap her legs around my waist. My hands travel down to her ass, holding on tight as I walk us back to the stairs and then take them two at a time. Once we’re back in the apartment, her gaze travels over to the stove.

“I was going to make us dinner…”

REVIEW:RAPTOR is the second instalment in Brooke Summers’contemporary, adult FURY VIPERS MC: DUBLIN dark, erotic, MC romance series-a spin off from the author’s FURY VIPERS MC. This is eighteen year old Mallory, and thirty six year old Fury Vipers MC: Dublin vice president Raptor aka Shane. RAPTOR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. An important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers from more sensitive readers.

The events of RAPTOR cross over with and run parallel to the events of several of the previous FURY VIPERS MC and FURY VIPERS MC: DUBLIN instalments.

Told from dual first person perspectives(Raptor and Mallory) covering approximately two years, RAPTOR focuses on the events after Raptor and Mallory’s weekend together. Approximately eighteen months earlier, Raptor met Mallory while the Irish woman was on vacation with her friend Chloe in the USA. A weekend spend together ended when Mallory had to return home but in the ensuing time, Raptor heard little to no communication from the woman he could not forget. When the MC decided to open up a chapter in Dublin, Ireland, Raptor was one for the first to volunteer in the hopes of locating the woman who stole his heart but months will pass, without any communication, until the day Mallory arrived at the clubhouse beaten and bruised, a woman with a secret she had yet to reveal.What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Raptor and Mallory, as the MC circles the wagons to protect the woman with whom Raptor had fallen in love.

The world building follows several paths as it crosses over with several of the previous story lines. Mallory’s mother goes missing; a close friend finds herself on the receiving end of ongoing abuse, and Raptor and the MC go on the hunt for the person who attacked the woman he loved.

The relationship between Mallory and Raptor begins approximately eighteen months earlier, a weekend together, ending with little to no further communication. As Mallory’s life begins to change and spiral out of control, Raptor cannot stop thinking about the woman that had stolen his heart. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of family and colorful secondary and supporting characters from the original Fury Vipers MC, and the author’s MADE series.

RAPTOR is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and friendships, brotherhood and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and raw ; the age-gap romance is seductive but limited due to the time spent apart; the characters are determined, strong willed and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 24, 2024

ELAINA—
When my groom makes a fool of me at our reception, the only man to come to my defense is Dylan, his brother and best man—a man I’d only just met.

Standing in the midst of embarrassment and humiliation, with my hours-old marriage in shambles, Dylan swept into my life and made it his mission to show me the way I deserve to be treated. I’m beginning to see he really is the best man.

BAJA—
I have no clue what this beauty ever saw in my brother, but when I see how he treats her, I plan to make sure she escapes a certain life of cruelty with that bastard.

I know my brother, and apparently he’s fooled her with his good guy act. But I know better. He’s a wolf is sheep’s clothing.

Elaina knows nothing about me, other than I’m Elliott’s brother. She certainly has no clue I’m a member of the Royal Bastards MC or that my club brothers call me Baja.

I’ll protect her at all costs. She’s got my oath on that.

•••••

REVIEW:TAKING WHAT’S OURS is the fifth instalment in Nicole James’ contemporary, adult RBMC: DURANGO CO dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty-five year old, Dylan ‘Baja’ Whitmore, and Elaina’s story line. TAKING WHAT’S OURS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Elaina and Baja) TAKING WHAT’S OURS follows in the aftermath of Elaina’s marriage to Dylan’s brother Elliott but betrayal, humiliation and embarrassment pull Elaina out of Elliott’s life, when she finds herself on the run with Elliott’s brother Dylan. Settling in Durango CO, Elaina discovers there is more to family than blood, more to life than a controlling fiancé. Living with Dylan, Elaina finds herself a family with the RBMC: Durango but the past refuses to let go for our story line couple, forcing both Dylan and Elaina to acknowledge the truth.

The world building focuses on Elaina’s struggle to see beyond the veil. From a controlling fiancé to a jealous rival, Elaina must come to terms with her life going forward. Baja continues to struggle with the ghosts from his past, and in this, he believes he is not worthy of love or a second chance.

The relationship between Baja and Elaina begins as a ‘rescue’ of a sorts. From friends to lovers, Baja and Elaina find themselves quickly falling but enemies and close, closer than they could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are limited but seductive and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, fun and energetic secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story line couples, and several members of the RBMC: Durango. We are introduced to Baja’s brother Elliott, as well as his parents.

TAKING WHAT’S OURS is a story of betrayal, seduction, acceptance and love. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the characters are animated ; the romance is passionate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 24, 2024

I was there. I saw what you did.

Blaise

I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.

Connections run deep in our small town.

I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.

I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.

Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.

I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.

REVIEW:IN THE AIR TONIGHT by Marie Force is a contemporary, adult, stand alone thriller focusing on several former students from Hope High School, Rhode Island.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including rape and sexual assault, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Blaise Merrick,IN THE AIR TONIGHT covers two timelines, and the sexual assault of a seventeen year old girl (Denise ‘Neisy’ Sutton) by a fellow student, a rising football star and wanna be Marine. Seventeen year old Blaise Merrick and her best friend Sienna Lawton were excited to attend a field party in Land’s End, a party of which they were forbidden to go but Sienna was determined to attend, and Blaise would spend the next fourteen years struggling with guilt and grief in the aftermath of witnessing the rape of a fellow student. Fast forward to present day, the man who committed the unspeakable crime is running for US congress, and Blaise refuses to remain silent, any longer. Previously hushed by Sienna, and the power and popularity of the former football hero’s family and friends, Blaise could no longer stand by, and reports the incident to the local police. What ensues is the fall-out and ensuing spiral for everyone concerned when the truth is revealed about what happened years before.

IN THE AIR TONIGHT is a heart breaking, dark and dramatic look at sexual assault, fear, popularity, desperation and guilt. Blaise Merrick will become a target, a victim and a survivor all for reporting the truth but will find love in the unlikeliest of places. Marie Force pulls the reader into an emotional, tragic and thought provoking thriller -what would you do if you witnessed a crime?

I shower and change into jeans and a sweater before heading out to return to my childhood home for the first time since my dad died of a heart attack seven years ago. That’s the only time I’ve been home since I left for college, a stance that’s caused significant friction in my family. They’ve asked for years why I stayed away until they quit asking and stopped reaching out. I still talk to all of them, but we’re not close. That’s how I wanted it, for reasons only I know, but now… If everything comes out, will it drive us further apart or bring us closer together?
I don’t know how that’ll go, and the not knowing only adds to my anxiety as I drive across the bridge into Hope.
Every nerve in my body is on full alert as I take the familiar roads to home, traversing the same route I did on that long-ago night after witnessing the crime that changed everything.
I park behind my mother’s silver Toyota Camry and take a long moment to look at the two-story Colonial home where I was raised. It’s been painted a darker shade of grey, and the shutters are now black. They were red when I lived there.
Mom comes out of the house, smiling with excitement that’s been sorely lacking in her since Dad died. She’s visited me often in the city, but I know she’s yearned for me to come home.
I hug her on the sidewalk.
“It’s so good to have you here, my sweet girl.”
“It’s good to be home.”

Holden

They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.

But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.

If only I can stop thinking about her.

Rowan

No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine.

The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.

The relationship between Rowan and Holden is acrimonious at best.

In addition to being an International Bestselling Author, I wear many hats – a trained lawyer, a globe-trotter, a coffee addict, and a cheese aficionado.

When I’m not immersed in lawyerly mayhem or crafting Contemporary Romance stories filled with heart, heat, and a touch of darkness, you’ll find me enjoying indoor activities in rainy (yet beautiful) Britain. These activities often include reading, indulging in TV series, and playing with my crazy puppies.

I hope my stories transport you to dreamlike worlds and bring as much joy to your heart as they bring to mine while writing them.
