You take from me, and I destroy the thing you love most. Everyone knows thats how I operate. So when the head of the Irish mob puts his filthy hands in my business, it shouldnt come as a surprise when I put mine on his pretty little daughter.

I expected a jaded Irish princess, not an innocent little lamb. But theres something about Brynna Sullivan thats magnetic, drawing me to her light. I dont want to destroy it. I want to claim it as my own…wreck her, and then put her back together again.

But this fiery little princess isnt na?ve. She knows exactly who and what I am. And convincing her to fall for a monster like me?

Well, itll take all-out war.

But this is one battle I intend to win, no matter what it takes. I just didnt expect it to be my own people who betrayed me in the end…

God of War is a dark mafia romance featuring an unapologetic villain, a strong, curvy heroine, and all the spice. Can Naz and Brynna overcome the odds stacked against them and find forever together, or will their fierce connection crumble under the weight of their reality?

The last thing this curvy girl expected to find in the locker room in the middle of a game? A grumpy, naked hockey hunk.

Colter Bayliss

Fighting during a game is bound to happen.

Getting ejected for instigating?

That’s a whole different situation.

But here I am anyway…banished to the locker room for a series of fights I didn’t even start.

Imagine my surprise when a curvy little goddess waltzes in and sees everything (and I do mean everything).

Leia Marsh has the smartest mouth and sassiest smile I’ve ever seen.

She swears she got lost, but I know a thing or two about trouble.

And this little spitfire has it written all over her.

She’s up to something, and I intend to find out what.

As soon as I do, I’m marrying her.

Leia Marsh

When your bestie thinks her new boyfriend might be a bookie, you do a little digging.

Which is precisely how I ended up in the Falcons’ locker room.

I didn’t expect to find Colter Bayliss naked.

Nor did I expect the crazy hockey player to be so bossy.

Now, I can’t seem to get him out of my hair.

He’s determined to solve this mystery with me.

And the more time I spend with him, the less I want to solve it alone.

But can I trust Colter with my heart, or am I just something to help him pass the time?

What we wanted: professional athletes. What we got: stick-wielding madmen who look good in blue, play hard, and love harder. It’s a good thing this is Silver Spoon Falls because these hunky hockey players fit right in.

Welcome the Falcons to the roster! These over-the-top athletes are about to play the most important game of all: the game of love. And the sassy, curvy women of Silver Spoon Falls have no intention of going down without a fight.

Let the games begin!

He promised her foreverand then he disappeared. But he doesnt even remember what happened.

Priest

Waking up in a hospital with no memories will change a man.

I rebuilt my life from the ashes, but Ive got a crater where my heart should be, and I dont know why.

I just know something is missing.

I never expected to find her at one of my shows.

And I never expected a lifetime of memories to come rushing back.

She thinks I left her behind when she needed me most.

Hell itself wouldnt have torn me from her arms if Id known she was pregnant

But how do you convince someone of the truth when you dont even know it?

If I dont find a way, Im going to lose her all over again.

Mina

I was loyal to a ghost for years while raising our daughter.

Only to find out my ghost was alive and well all along.

I wish Id never seen him on that stupid stage.

Because now, I have more questions than answers.

I want to hate him, yet Im dangerously close to giving him my heart again.

But if hes telling the truth, someone did this to us, and I need to know who.

And if he isnt? Well, we survived losing him once.

Am I really strong enough to do it all over again?

To save a curvy dispatcher and win her heart, this detective will do whatever it takes. Even if it means answering every outrageous call in Silver Spoon Falls.

Easton

Taking a bullet was supposed to be as bad as things could get.

And then I moved to Silver Spoon Falls.

There is nothing easy about life in this crazy small town.

Especially when a curvy little dispatcher decides she doesnt like me.

Shes got me working every crap call in this town just to torture me.

And I let her get away with it…right up until its her at risk.

Now, Im the one calling the shots to keep her safe.

And shes mine to command.

Molly

My job comes with a lot of rules.

The only one I havent broken is the one I made for myself: never date a cop.

But the minute Easton walks through the doors, hes determined to change my mind.

Ive never wanted to give in so badly.

Theres just something about the man that makes me crazy.

So I do what any dispatcher would do…I make his life miserable instead.

But the night someone breaks into my house and he moves in, everything changes.

Now, this thing between us seems less like a game…and a whole lot like forever.

All she wants for Christmas is her bosss baby. All he wants is his ring on her finger.

Caitlin

Giving my boss, the man of my dreams, an impossible Christmas list was supposed to keep him from getting me anything for the holidays. Especially since the only things I really want are him and his baby. Instead, he knocked my world out of orbit. Now, Im in his arms and this feels a little too much like forever. But does he really want thisor is he just trying to give me what I want?

Lachlan

Ive been trying to slip beneath my assistants defenses since the day she started. If she knew the things Ive done, shed never speak to me again. But when she hands over her Christmas list and I realize that I could lose her, all bets are off. Ill reveal every dirty secret Ive been keeping just so long as it means Im the only man making her Christmas wishes come true. If she wants a baby, it will be mine. But not until shes got my ring on her finger.

He wanted her to model for his company. She just wanted to save cats. How did this end with her in his bed and his ring on her finger?

Reese

Ive already got a crazy mother and a meddling cousin. I dont need a curvy little spitfire stomping around my office, too. But I do need Ava Matthews in front of the camera, modeling for my company. Especially if it means getting her naked and in my bed.

Her terms? One million dollars.

I should be ashamed of how fast I accepted that deal. Spoiler Alert: Im not. Im not ashamed of how fast I dragged her to a chapel in Vegas and put my ring on her finger, either. And Im absolutely not ashamed of how far Ill go to keep it there. Shes mine. Ill do whatever it takes to convince her that were permanent.

This gorgeous little cat lady is going down.

Ava

My plan for my life involved getting bossed around by my cat. It didnt include Reese Donovan, bosshole extraordinaire. But I accepted a job as his assistant anyway.

I wasnt supposed to agree to model for him or wake up married to him. And I absolutely wasnt supposed to fall for the grump. But theres something about this gorgeous man that I cant resist…especially when hes working his magic on my body.

But spinster cat lady, I can handle. Brokenhearted cat lady? Not so much.

If Im just an elaborate game to him, I might burn his stupid company to the ground.

Prepare for the hottest mess of the year! Beauty and the Bosshole is a hilarious, full-length romantic comedy written by ten bestselling and award-winning authors all in the name of love (and charity!). The only rules? No cheating, and there must be a HEA. How do we get there? Well, ask the authors. Theyre the ones who did this to us. And they arent sorry about it, either.

Valhalla is rising…but it looks a whole lot different this time around.

The Valkyries are gone, and Valhalla lies in ruin. Now, its up to the Fae warriors left behind to save the human daughters of the women they were sworn to protect. As each comes into her power, setting an ancient prophecy into motion, Fae and Valkyrie offspring alike will be tested in ways they never imagined. Can the bonds forged between these fierce warriors and the Valkyrie who call their souls save the Light, or will Dark fall over the nine realms forever?

A masked ball, a costumed curvy girl, and one wild night will turn this reclusive billionaires life upside down.

Drake Whitlock

A billionaire at a Halloween masquerade party? How cliché.

Except said billionaire is me…and I hate Halloween.

I have no idea how I got roped into this party in Midnight Falls.

Ive been looking for an escape all night.

I just didnt expect her to be dressed like a unicorn.

Or to have such a smart mouth.

I annoy her on sight. She sets my blood on fire.

But weve got one thing in common…neither of us wants to be here.

Looks like shes stuck with me.

She just doesnt know that I intend this escape to be permanent.

Madeline Dooley

When my cousin invited me to a Halloween party, she left out pertinent info.

So now Im the only unicorn in a sea of ballgowns. Awesome.

I just want to escape…but I didnt plan to run off with the annoyingly hot recluse who told me that were getting married.

Who does that anyway?

Drake Whitlock, thats who. The man is ridiculous.

And Im definitely not interested. Nope. Not at all.

I have plans. He probably has bodies in the basement.

So…someone explain how I ended up in his bed?

And why the thought of ever leaving it makes my stomach hurt?!

Shes more than just a member of the band to him. Shes his world.

Declan

Ive loved Penelope Draco since the moment I set eyes on her.

But having one piece of her heart was better than having none of it at all…

So I kept my secret just to keep her close.

Finding out that I might lose her anyway is killing me.

I wont let that happen.

She belongs to me. She always has.

Its beyond time she realizes it.

Pen

Watching my best friend and bandmate love someone who isnt me will destroy me.

But now that were on top of the world, its only a matter of time before it happens.

So Im quitting the band to protect my heart.

Telling him is the hardest thing Ive ever done.

Hes my best friend. Id do anything for him.

I just never expected him to have secrets as big as my own…

If you enjoy sweet and steamy friends-to-lovers romance featuring possessive heroes and curvy heroines, youll love Declan and Pen!

A Valkyrie bound by Fate. A Fae warrior driven by love. When destiny demands a sacrifice, will these fated mates pay the ultimate price?

Reaper

For millennia, I was one of the strongest Fae warriors in Valhalla, willing to die to defend her borders. That was before the Forsaken destroyed everything I knew.

I've spent the last three hundred years trapped on earth, aching for vengeance. I never thought it'd come in the form of a petite little human with sapphire blue eyes and steel in her soul. The moment Tori binds my soul to hers, my allegiance shifts. Destroying the Forsaken no longer matters to me. Protecting this beautiful little Valkyrie is all I care about.

I'll do whatever it takes to ensure she survives. Even if I have to destroy the nine realms myself. The only thing I won't do is let her go. She's mine. My Valkyrie. My soul. Mine.

Tori

I knew my ordinary, boring life was over when I was ripped from my bed by monsters. But I expected them to kill me, not thrust me into the middle of an ancient war.

I certainly didn't expect Reaper. From the moment the warrior rescues me, our bond eclipses everything. It doesn't matter that this world is new and terrifying. It doesn't even matter that they're asking me to do the impossible. All that matters is him.

Right up until I'm forced to make a choice that may destroy us both. How do I choose between the man I love and the fate of everything?

He wasnt supposed to fall for the woman he was forced to marry. Now, hell do whatever it takes to claim her, body and soul.

Dalton Grady

I lost my family when I was thirteen.

I decided then that marriage and kids werent in the cards for me.

My grandfather has other ideas—marriage to a woman Ive never met.

I swear I wont do it…right up until I meet her.

Tempest is everything I never knew I needed—sweet, fiery, and mine.

She thinks I only want her company. She couldnt be more wrong.

But how do you give your heart to someone who already stole every piece of it?

I dont know, but I need to figure it out.

Because the only thing more terrifying than loving her…is losing her.

Tempest Evernight

My father always made it clear that marriage was a business arrangement.

If I wanted the family company, Id bow to his wishes.

But that was before I knew my future husband was Dalton Grady.

I didnt mean to fall for the gorgeous billionaire, but I did anyway.

I just never imagined that hed see marriage as a prison.

I wont tie myself to a man who cant love me back.

Or so I tell myself…right up until I say I do.

But I never expected loving him to be this complicated…

Sweet Conviction is a spicy contemporary romance featuring a burn-the-world virgin billionaire, a strong, curvy heroine, a dash of drama, and groveling. No cheating.

Love isn't supposed to taste like betrayal. And they aren't supposed to like the way it hurts. But they'll risk everything for an obsession that might destroy them both.

Coda

I was innocent once.

Until I watched my parents die by the hands of a man they trusted.

The streets swallowed me, and no one noticed.

I swore then that he'd paid.

I've spent the last twenty-five years covered in blood, biding my time.

I'm the thing monsters fear. I'm the last thing they see.

Until now. Until her.

I came for her father. I left with her.

I wasn't supposed to feel. I wasn't supposed to fall.

But now, I'll claim. And I'll kill.

She's mine. No one is taking her from me.

Karina

I was drowning once.

Until he held out his hand and pulled me into the dark.

I swore then that I'd follow him anywhere.

But I didn't know I was following him to hell.

He has secrets. And sins.

And somehow, I'm caught in the middle, a pawn in a game I don't understand.

But still, I feel. Still, I fall.

And when the truth comes out, I break.

Love isn't supposed to taste like betrayal.

And I'm not supposed to miss the way it hurts.

And yet…I want it back. Even if it destroys everything.

Warning: Irredeemable is a dark mafia romance featuring an antihero who will burn the world for his curvy queen. If large age gaps, dark themes, obsessed antiheroes, and power imbalances aren't your jam, this book isn't for you.

Each book in the Illicit Love series can be read as a standalone.

Cursed to sleep, awoken with a kiss…and destined to be his. But no one warned her how much she'd love her prince's twisted games.

Thalia

Cursed to sleep. Awoken by a kiss. You know the drill.

But why didn't anyone warn me that Prince Charming is a tyrant?

And why didn't anyone tell me how much I'd love his filthy games?

Because the more time I spend with this wicked man, the harder I fall.

He's like no prince I've ever met. He's so much worse.

And God help me, I can't resist him.

But when he finds out my secret, everything comes crashing down.

I never thought he'd betray me.

Now, I'm alone, heartbroken…and someone wants me dead.

When he comes for me and the whole truth comes out, I'm forced to choose.

Can I trust Troy with my heart, or was I just a game to him?

Troy

I take what I want when I want. It's the law of the land.

So when I find Thalia sleeping in my hunting cabin, I can't resist claiming her.

She's so soft and sweet. So obedient. So mine.

The twisted games we play drive me wild.

But I didn't anticipate them ever making my heart beat again.

Now, I'll do whatever I must to keep her.

But there are forces at work beyond my understanding. And people in my life are desperate to keep us apart.

They nearly succeed.

When Thalia goes missing, I'll destroy this kingdom to get her back.

No one takes what belongs to me. No one.

Two weeks. No rules.

Those were the terms my daughter's best friend offered me after she caught her ex in bed with her boss. She didn't know that I've wanted her since the day I met her. She didn't expect me to take so much more.

If she wanted to leave with her soul, she never should have offered it up to me on a silver platter. I've waited four years to make her mine. I'm not waiting any longer.

I'll protect her from the dangerous men hunting me. I'll guard her heart when my daughter finds out about us. But that curvy body is mine. I'm not letting her go.

God help anyone who thinks otherwise.

Mila

I've been crushing on my best friend's father since I met him, but I never thought I stood a chance. Until we ended up living together at his beach house, anyway. A little liquid courage was all it took to loosen my tongue.

Two weeks. No strings. No rules. Those were the terms I offered Roman.

I didn't expect him to take them, nor did I expect him to want so much more.

Now, my whole world is changing… and it might go up in flames before everything is said and done. But God help me; I love the way this man burns.

Mister Gregory is a steamy, full-length romance featuring a curvy heroine, an over-the-top alpha, and one wicked proposition. There is no cheating between FMC and MMC.

*previously published as Her Best Friend's Father serial.

She never knew the forbidden could taste so sweet until she met him. Now, he'll never let her go.

Micah

When you can have everything, the world loses its appeal.

I know because I have everything. And it means nothing.

I've spent half my life bored and unfulfilled.

I spend my time at The Sterling Rope, looking for something to bring me back to life.

I know exactly what I want, but I've never been able to find her.

Until the night I set eyes on Davina Dauphine.

Her guileless blue eyes and sweet curves drive me wild.

I've never wanted to spoil, pamper, and defile anyone like I do her.

She thinks I want her to be my baby girl for the night.

No. This little princess is mine for life.

Davina

Being dragged to The Sterling Rope wasn't on my list of things to do.

Falling for a billionaire wasn't either.

But there's something about this one that makes me ache for things I shouldn't.

When he growls those profane words at me, my whole world tilts on its axis.

I never knew the forbidden could be so sweet. Or that I'd want it so desperately.

But he's my law firm's new client…and my boss is a jerk.

When he overhears me and Micah together, he threatens to tell everyone.

I do the only thing I know to do: run to Micah.

If my boss liked his teeth, he probably shouldn't have threatened me.

Because no one messes with Daddy's little princess.

He was never supposed to claim the Capos baby sister. Now, hell defy everyone to keep her.

Mattia

People call me cold and heartless.

But one thing they never question is my loyalty.

I do whatever I have to do to protect the Valentino family.

Thats all that matters to me.

Until the day I discover the daughter their father hid from them and claim her as my own.

I dont tell her brothers. I dont tell anyone.

My loyalty is to her and her alone.

But shes keeping secrets that threaten to tear my world apart.

And if I cant gain her trust, theyre going to destroy everything. Including us.

Ill rip this city apart before I allow that to happen.

Im not losing her.

Aurelia

My father didnt want me. He threw me out before I was ever born.

So Ive spent my life watching my brothers from afar.

But when my mothers life hangs in the balance, I go to them for help.

One of their enemies finds me instead.

To get my mother back, he expects the ultimate betrayal.

This world is kill or be killed.

Until Mattia sweeps in and changes everything.

I swore I wouldnt fall for the dangerous man who forced me into marriage.

But its impossible to stand firm when his hands are on me.

Right up until the truth comes out and destroys everything, anyway.

If Im his world…why do I feel like a pawn?

And if hes the villain, why cant I let him go?

Irreplaceable is a steamy age-gap mafia romance featuring a morally gray hero and a plus-size heroine. It can be read as a standalone story.

Love turned to hatred that grew over millennia. But when fate threatens the mate caught between them, can the two Fae warriors who guard her soul set it aside to protect her?

Damrion

For millennia, Ive lived with the shame of regret and the guilt of loss. The last Fae prince, haunted by decisions I cant take back. I never imagined I'd be given a second chance. I know I dont deserve it. Ill never be worthy. But my heart beats for the broken warrior who believes I left him to die and the young Valkyrie whose soul we were sent to guard.

To protect her and earn his forgiveness, Ill face what Ive done. Ill face anything.

Drummer, biker, bar owner, troublemaker… Hell tear it all down for a future with his best friends curvy baby sister.

Memphis

Everyone screams my name while I rock stages with some of the biggest names in country music.

But once upon a time, I was a different man.

I built this life on the bones of my past.

I dont regret what Ive done, and I dont revisit it.

Until Kylie walks into my bar with a sassy attitude, a book in her hands, and the devil in her eyes.

The things I want to do to her would make grown men blush.

But shes keeping secrets. I intend to keep her.

I just didnt expect my past to come back to haunt me.

And I didnt expect to find out that shes tied to it, either.

To save her, Ill do whatever it takes.

But make no mistakes about it: she will be mine.

Kylie

Everyone in the world knows Memphis Hughes.

But they dont know the same man I do.

I came here for the truth about his past. Instead, I find more questions.

Because this Memphis is not the dangerous man I expected to find.

He doesnt remember me, but Ill never forget him and what he did.

I never meant to fall for him, but theres just something about the wicked man that I cant resist.

That cocky smirk is deadly. And dont get me started on those sinful hands.

The only problem? Im not sure which Memphis is real: the one who says hed die for me…or the one who got my brother killed.

Shes an angel. Im the devil on her shoulder. And this is my swan song. When its over, Ill either be the monster at the end of this book…or Ill be the man she deserves.

Michael Cade Kincaid

Thirty-two. Thats how many bullets it took to destroy my world. I know because I counted.

I lost everything that day—including the only girl Ive ever loved. January James will never forgive me for destroying her family. I'll never forgive myself either. But no matter how hard she fights, nothing changes the fact that she belongs to me, body and soul.

She thinks she hates me, but that was before an enemy from the past painted a target on her back. Now, I'm the only man who can keep her safe. Ill burn his world to the ground before I let him touch her.

Her cabin wasnt supposed to come equipped with a gorgeous older manand only one bed.

Carver Landon

When I left the military, I headed to the mountains.

All I wanted was peace and quiet.

I didnt expect to find a curvy angel sleeping in my bed.

Shes the sweetest little thing Ive ever seen.

I dont want much, but I need her. Desperately.

She claims my cabin is hers and that Im awful cranky.

If she wants the cabin, its hers. But its going to cost her.

And shell pay the price on her knees…begging for me.

I just forgot to mention one minor detail.

When the week is over, she isnt going anywhere.

This little princess belongs to Daddy now.

Lena Burke

And Im pretty sure Im not supposed to want him in my bed, but…yeah, that happened too.

I should run in the other direction.

Thats what a sensible girl would do.

Can an adorable menace of a dog, a bakery under fire, and one irresistible firefighter change this curvy girls life forever?

Alessandro Banger

I'm used to my dog causing trouble. It's what he does.

But breaking into my sassy neighbor's house might be a new low even for him.

Or else he's a genius, because Jesus. I did not know we moved in next to an angel.

Heidi Marsh is stunning…especially when she's telling me off.

Or climbing my body to kiss me stupid.

But my fiery little baker is terrified to give me her heart. I intend to find out why.

I just didn't expect to learn that someone is threatening her and her bakery.

Hell no. Not today. Not any day.

I'm saving my sunshine, and then I'm making her mine.

Heidi Marsh

Of course my new neighbor is a stupid-hot firefighter.

And of course, he has a menace of a dog.

I am not mentally prepared to deal with either of these things.

I have a bakery to open.

But when Alessandro smirks at me, the only thing I can think about is kissing it off his gorgeous face.

Too bad love is the one thing that scares me the most.
