Exchanging lust for loyalty… one bullet at a time.

A simple sabotage mission at a brothel.

A quick detour to a foursome.

A raven haired seductress tempting me away from my goal.

Livia.

The girl from my rival clan all grown up. A painful reminder of kicked shins and the one who burned down our treehouse with a smile. Her fierceness is the same, but the chip on her shoulder is deeper.

If I want my family’s armories back, I’ll need her.

Even if that means a trek across the country together…

Alone with my enemy.

Past poisons veracious passions

Dating life is deadly in Gnarled Pine Hollow.

Especially when all of my men end up mutilated, their parts delivered to my doorstep. Eyes track my every move.

And then there’s the masked man chasing me through the park, forcing my terrified screams to turn into tantalizing sighs. Are they all connected?

Drawn into some type of game, I feel I’m being herded into a trap.

Like a cat and a mouse…

Yet which of us is which?

She thought it was just one night… He knew he was never letting her go.

Arianna

Despite being forced into an arranged marriage, all I wanted was a perfect wedding, but a bomb explodes on my big day, disrupting my dreams of matrimonial bliss. My new husband is arrogant, wild, and plays as loose with my love as he does his hand in poker. Worse, he won’t let me bring my boyfriend in the house, not until I cut the cards right.

Ace

The empress thinks she rules all hearts. But after giving up everything for this marriage, I’ve had it. She can have her boyfriend as long as I can keep living my life the same way I was before. Only something odd happens… Sharing her turns out to be more fun than I thought. Does this mean I have to abandon everything I’ve known?

Wyatt

Crushed by the weight of watching the love of my life marry someone else, I try to cut her off. When she arranges things in our favor, I end up in the Donovan mansion…and in the middle of their marriage. Shockingly, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I just worry about the secrets of my past affecting our future together.

I, Mason Locke, am going to change.

When Justin meets January, the heat turns all the way up, even while snowed in.

January visits Crystal Frond for her friend Winter’s wedding and has a rude run-in with a handsome, but gruff, older man. Settling in town for a month, she takes a job at the inn on the mountaintop. When she arrives, she’s shocked to find her new boss is the same guest that snubbed her at the reception.

Justin has been away from women for seven long years working on an oil rig and now that he’s back and around such a beautiful creature…he’s trying everything to stop help himself from ravaging her. Especially when they get snowed in together.

Will he be able to resist his young employee? Or will he do what he desires most and become her daddy?

Giving her daddy a gift for the holidays that keeps on giving

Winter returns to Crystal Frond to finally show her mothers good friend, Ben, just how much shes grown.

But, he doesnt understand that nothing will stop Winter from coming.

Will he be able to deny her present when she shows up underneath his Christmas tree?

In the string of time, I'm a bow. Crossing over and forming the knots most needed to hold the chaos at bay. Which is the only enjoyment I receive out of life now, knowing that everyone is quite well aware that at any moment…

I can come undone.
