Ryan Cole is a professional hockey star with a reputation to protect—and a charity campaign to run. As the public face of the Open Ice Initiative, he agrees to a clean, headline-friendly solution: a fake relationship with a beautiful model to boost visibility and donations.
Too bad the only woman he actually connects with is her sister.
Nora Hart is the brains behind the Open Ice Initiative—organized, passionate, and determined to keep things professional. But as she and Ryan work closely behind the scenes, sparks fly in the quiet moments no cameras catch.
Ryan may be pretending to fall for someone else in public. But in private, it’s Nora who’s stealing his heart.
Dot Fletcher’s happiness turned to horror when she was abandoned at the altar, humiliated in front of the cream of London Society. One year later, when the woman she was scorned for shows up at her front door, heavily pregnant and just as scorned, the two join forces to destroy the man who betrayed them both. They’ll have to go up against the most formidable barrister in London to do it. Silas Cain, the secret bastard brother of the rakish Earl of Bentley, will protect his badly behaved little brother at all costs, no matter how drawn he is to the fiery and determined Miss Fletcher.
Nash Hopper didn't come back to Silver Falls to fall in love. The divorced lawyer just wants to find his eight-year-old daughter a stable stepmother—someone safe, sensible, and absolutely nothing like the chaos magnet running Love on Main matchmaking service.
Too bad Lila Whitaker is exactly the opposite of what he ordered. She's all sunshine and inappropriate questions, with a smile that makes him forget why he swore off complications.
Worse? Every woman she sets him up with pales in comparison to the matchmaker herself. But Lila has a strict rule about not dating clients, and Nash has never been good at breaking the rules.
Until now. Because watching Lila bend over her desk in those pencil skirts is making him want to ignore all of her policies. And when she accidentally-on-purpose keeps pairing him with women who are nothing like what he wants, Nash starts to suspect his matchmaker is playing favorites.
As the eldest son and heir to Ward Enterprises - a luxury fashion line that competes with names on the red carpet – you’d think the CEO role my father is vacating would be mine.
Apparently not. I have tough competition, but I’m going to prove my days of sleeping with women in the industry are over.
Then in walks Payton, my new sexy PR consultant, and I swear I’m fucking cursed.
Knox Montgomery. Powerful, handsome, and broody. What an aphrodisiac. I worked hard to get this job in the city’s top PR firm, so I won’t do anything to sabotage it.
As in sleep with the client.
*Googles modern-day chastity belts*
It will be fine. Until I realize exactly how closely I’ll be working with Knox on the new Verity & Co. collection launch.
Influencer Nova Forester is on the run from a blackmailer set to destroy her. Desperate to forget her problems, she crashes into the arms of a rugged, small-town mechanic before disappearing again.
Former playboy Ezekiel Stryker can’t stop thinking about the mystery woman who showed up at his shop months ago, but he’s moved on to a new girlfriend and a stable life—until Nova arrives on his doorstep, pregnant and with nowhere to go.
There’s more to Nova’s life than she’s letting on, and Zeke’s determined to gain her trust and prove he can be what she needs. But danger is closing in—as terrifying as the love growing between them. When the twisted truth finally comes out, protecting Nova and their baby could cost Zeke everything.
Aria Bloom arrives in Whisper Falls with one goal… disappear until Easter is over. Fresh off a broken engagement, she’s running on empty and has no intention of getting pulled into anything complicated.
Beckett Hale has built his life on control. As the owner of Whisper Falls Cabins, he keeps his distance from emotions, holidays, and anything that might disrupt his carefully ordered world.
But when his family shows up expecting him to introduce “the one,” Beckett needs a solution… fast.
One fake girlfriend. One Easter weekend. One arrangement that’s supposed to mean nothing.
Except between spring mornings, family traditions, and moments that feel a little too real, their pretend relationship starts to blur into something neither of them planned.
Now Aria must decide… keep her heart safely out of reach, or risk believing in a love she never saw coming.
An heir... Destined for a throne soaked in blood, Aurora Tepes must navigate the intrigues of court and the brutality of battle. As heir to the Crown Republic of Transylvania, she is bound by duty to protect her people, wielding her sharp mind and mastery of blood manipulation—no matter the sacrifice. A century of war... Beyond the walls, a conflict meant to be without casualties stains the hills with innocent blood while the powerful turn a blind eye. But Aurora cannot. Armed with the magic of her ancestry and revolutionary technology, she joins the Outliers—the oppressed, deemed inferior by the Republic—on the frontline, vowing to bring justice once she claims her crown. A desire for more... Dark secrets, deadly creatures, and new alliances test Aurora’s convictions as she confronts the savagery of her nature and an uncertain future that could unravel everything. But when she meets the longest-lived Outlier, a mysterious moon-haired captain whose magic holds world-changing secrets, destiny and duty collide.
Fiona's life was simple. Until she made the mistake of crossing into his territory. Now, she's locked away in a mansion with the Beast—a savage, brooding shifter who takes what he wants without asking. And what he wants? Her.
No escape. No mercy. No way out.
The Beast doesn't care that she's terrified. In fact, he likes it. His eyes burn with an undeniable hunger that makes her body betray her every thought. She hates him…or at least, she should. Because deep down, she knows she was always meant to be his.
But as the days stretch on, Fiona finds herself crumbling under his demands, yearning for the one thing she swore she would never want: him.
Fated to the Beast is a dark, deliciously steamy shifter romance. If you love possessive, alpha heroes who will do anything to claim what's theirs, then this is the story for you. Grab your copy now and get ready to surrender to your fate.
Personally, I’ve never had much of an issue with the fae. Sure, I was as surprised as any lass when they burst into our world over a decade ago, but every race has its pricks, us humans included. When the fae leave their calling card in my bed, I’ve got no choice but to go on the run, fleeing into the vast Scottish Highlands. I’d been Selected, and nobody was going to bat an eyelash when the fae came for me. Where are they taking us and for what? It’s anybody’s guess, but if I’d won a luxury cruise with topless hotties serving me aged scotch, then why would they go to such lengths to hide any information? Hard pass on the kidnapping, thanks. Unfortunately for me, the fae have sent one of their most vicious hunters to chase me down—a sinfully scarred lamia with fangs dripping venom. Unfortunately for him, I did years of military training in these Highlands and I won’t be going down without a fight. It might be cold out, but the thrill of the hunt is sure to heat my blood.
There's a wounded shifter bleeding all over my petunias, but witches and shifters don’t mix. Ever.
The shifters have come. The wards have failed, and it's up to me to get them back up before whatever injured this wolf returns. I have to stop the bleeding because a dead werewolf in the garden is going to be a lot bigger mess than a live one who can walk away on his own. I also have to keep my heart from breaking because from the moment he opens his eyes, I can't look away. It feels like I’ll never be whole again if he leaves. It turns out there may be a lot more to the story of shifters and witches than we were ever told, because I did not expect to find my soulmate in a wolf.

No, she was a mermaid, and returned to the sea to save her people and all of Ireland from an evil tyrant. Meri wishes he would stop telling that story. Everything changes during a school trip to the Cliffs of Moher. First, Meri learns that mermaids were once called merrows, and their children are the merrowkin. While at the Cliffs she glimpses a golden tower on the waves, and learns about a city that lies at the bottom of the bay between Ireland above and the land of gods below, a barrier between the two worlds that rises once every seven years. Suddenly, her father’s stories aren’t the strangest things she’s heard. Accompanied by her friend, Aodhan, Meri embarks on a quest to discover what really happened to her mother, and hopefully bring her home.
