TROY

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister’s pretty face.

He’s c*cky. A troublemaker. A pain.

And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.

We’ve been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we’ve used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.

Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas’s latest bet has gone too far.

Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Not a chance.

But if he’s so confident he’s gonna win…well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks…

ATLAS

With Troy. My stepbro.

It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn’t supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.

But what we’re doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?

This is the first book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be read as a standalone.

There I was minding my own business, building my real estate empire, and loving life. So the last thing I needed was a series of threatening letters as I worked on my latest fix and flip sending my loving, protective dad into over-the-top-protective dad mode from the other side of the world. I’m not worried—as an internet influencer, I get a lot of strange comments that don’t mean anything. But theres no stopping my dad from calling in a favor from an old friend—Zane Lewis. Enter Smith Everette. Now I’ve got the hottest man I’ve ever seen for a bodyguard. I don’t have time for a relationship, but a little fun never hurt anyone. Until I realized that Smith is more than a good time. I’m ready to fight like hell to make him see that we have a future together. Too bad the stubborn former SEAL has the control of well…a Navy SEAL.

Easy job—easy day or so I thought.

My latest assignment should’ve been hassle free. Get to the bottom of who was sending cryptic letters to the daughter of a man my boss had served with in the Navy, a man he thinks of as his brother. Zane has two rules for this job. Number one, don’t let anything happen to Aria Taylor. And number two, don’t fall in love with her. Not a problem—love and relationships are not on my radar. My guilt wouldn’t let me. I’d tried that once and failed—spectacularly. But as soon as Aria opened the door, I realized there would be nothing easy about staying away from her. Aria was as beautiful as she was talented. Five minutes later when the sexy, flirty banter started I knew I was screwed. I might not fall in love but not giving in to my attraction would take more control than I had. The unfortunate part—Aria let me know right away she not only liked what she saw but she wasn’t interested in long-term.

But someone’s watching her, following her, threatening her. Following Zane’s first rule wasn’t a problem. I could and would keep her safe.

However, I was dangerously close to violating rule number two. Our no-strings-attached good time had turned into something more. Aria had torn down the walls I’d spent years building leaving me raw and exposed. Powerless to the promise of a future I never thought existed.

Then the threats against her take a dark turn no one expected. I’d failed again. Even if I can never have Aria, I’ll give everything I have to save her.

Warning: Smith is a spicy romantic suspense with a foul-mouthed hero who has trauma-fueled commitment issues who butts up against a witty, equally foul-mouthed heroine who knows what she wants and is willing to fight to get it.

Celeste has gotten her heart broken by the man she loves…but can she truly let him go? Maybe there’s room for forgiveness as long as all his secrets are revealed.

Apollo is ready to do anything to win her back, including sacrificing all that he’s worked for. He’ll wait for as long as it takes, but he’s not going anywhere.

Warning: Does teenage angst always turn into a happily ever after? In Craven Cove it does!

One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer—I want to tell you everything.

“It wasn't me,” Lenora said But she's the only one not dead As Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre, it becomes clear there's more to the tale than people know. But when new details about her predecessor's departure come to light, Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth—and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought.

In my empire, I claim what's mine. Even her.

She was meant to be untouchable, but I've never been one to follow rules.

I'm her protector, her guardian, but tonight, I see nothing but the woman she's become—ripe for the taking.

She calls it fear, I call it destiny. She's mine to claim, mine to protect.

And I'll do whatever it takes to keep her—because she belongs to me.

Theo

Perry thinks I'm a nine…a nine! Sure, I'm not into dudes, but it's flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I'm hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out.

Olivia

Four years ago my entire life changed.

A one-night stand turned into the best thing that ever happened to me.

Too bad Mason didn't feel the same.

Now struggling to keep my head above water, I take on a temp job at the same hotel that changed my life.

I never thought I would see him again, but then he walks in. They say lightning rarely strikes twice, so why do I feel like I've been struck once again?

Mason

Four years ago she disappeared into the wind without a trace to be found.

I never thought that I would want more from a woman until I met Olivia.

I only wish she had felt the same.

So when I see her standing behind the reception desk in my hotel, I'm amazed.

Only, she wants nothing to do with me and I can't figure out why.

Can I break down her walls and get her to trust me enough to give us a real shot?

The worst thing to ever happen on Hemlock Circle occurred in Ethan Marsh's backyard. One July night, ten-year-old Ethan and his best friend and neighbor, Billy, fell asleep in a tent set up on a manicured lawn in a quiet, quaint New Jersey cul-de-sac.

Thirty years later, Ethan has reluctantly returned to his childhood home. Plagued by bad dreams and insomnia, he begins to notice strange things happening in the middle of the night.

The mysterious occurrences prompt Ethan to investigate what really happened that night, a quest that reunites him with former friends and neighbors and leads him into the woods that surround Hemlock Circle. Woods where Billy claimed ghosts roamed and where a mysterious institute does clandestine research on a crumbling estate.

When the past catches up, will love be enough?

One, he wakes up trying to kill me. Two, he refuses to work like everyone else. Three, he tries to steal food from us. If he thinks we'll let him do whatever he's dead wrong. Maybe he is handsome and strong, but that's not an excuse. I'll find out whether he's a danger to the village. We may be a stranded village out on a distant planet, but it doesn't mean I've given up. I'm the leader of the village, I'm never giving up.

After he tried to steal our food, he can't be trying to steal my heart, right?

My father was a complicated man.

The world knew him as a criminal who consorted with other, worse criminals. To me, he was my savior—the man whod rescued a scared, orphaned little girl. Hed taken me in when I had no one. Duty bound, I became the woman he wanted me to be.

Powerful. Respected. Resourceful.

The Mediator. The Dove.

Strictly speaking I was criminal, too, only I didn't consort, I commanded a team of assassins—though I preferred to call them mercenariesIt sounded less nefarious, less criminal, and more palatable. Two words that meant the same thing Men who at my call would do my bidding. I lived in the grey, in the shadows. I kept the darkness at bay, acting on behalf of the good people of the world who didn't deserve anarchy to spill out from the underbelly of society. I was on the right side of evil.

Or so I thought.

The mentor I trusted, a man who alongside my father taught me the skills I needed to survive, turned out to be nothing more than a greedy traitor.

With no choice I continued to play their game. Only, I changed the rules.

Unfortunately, that led me straight to the one person I'd done everything in my power to avoid—Zane “Viper” Lewis. I knew his secret. The one thread of the intricate web he'd flawlessly woven that could ruin everything he'd built. I was prepared to keep his secret in exchange for help.

But as with all things Viper, nothing was simple. He had other plans and my life went spiraling out of control.

Life-altering lies and deceit.

The kind that tore your soul apart and killed your spirit.

With nothing left, once again I changed the rules.

I was the mediator. The fixer. The student who had learned really freaking well how to play the game. And it was damn time they all learned—with their last breaths—just who they made me into.

The fatal flaw: Easton Spears. The man I never should've let in. But I needed to know what it felt like to be loved. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like having someone see me, the real me, not the Mediator or Dove, but Nebraska Michaels. I wanted it so desperately I gave him what he asked for—my heart. And in return, he showed me a world I didn't know existed.

To execute my mission, I'd have to turn my back on the first person who'd ever truly loved me. I'd have to give up the man I'd fallen in love with.

I had a plan for that, too.

But just like everything else, that went FUBAR.

In the Monster Menagerie, all bets are off and everything is on the table.

265 days ago, the dead rose.

245 days ago, my colony formed.

67 days ago, someone I trusted stole our supplies and let the dead in.

2 days after I leave my colony in search of life-saving medication for my best friend, I wake up in the trunk of a car, put there by three men claiming to have saved my life.

Time is running out to save my friend, made more difficult by my three self-appointed overbearing bodyguards who think they saved my life when they unknowingly ruined my mission. At least I have Buddy, the one-eyed dog I rescue from someone who shouldn't care for animals.

Griffin has the air of a leader, and the gall to handcuff himself to me in order to keep me with them. He says it's for my own safety, but I suspect it's really because I tried to steal their car and destroyed their food supplies in the process. It's not my fault he left the keys in the ignition. And now I don't even get my own tent.

William is the kind, sensitive type with the gentle touch who becomes my rock. He's almost too sweet for his own good, but can become the deadliest man alive especially when danger has a habit of finding me.

They drag me across dangerous lands and protect me like I'm their own. They force themselves into my mission even though they're better off leaving me to the rotters.

I need to go, but I want to stay. Yet I can't seem to get away from them, even when I try.

And time is running out.

If I went to college, he would let me tag along Caribbean island hopping on his charter boat for the summer. Cass stuck to his end of the bargain, but not me—I asked for extra terms. One night: me, him and nothing between us, showing me what it felt like to be loved by a man.

Cassidy

One night, my ass. If I'd known what I was in for before I'd made the deal… I still would've done it. Except now I couldn't stop thinking about him, desiring him, needing him—in my arms, beneath me, by my side. I was a fool for thinking we had a future together, but when I thought about spending the rest of my life with someone, Nicky's face was the only one I could imagine.

Father Figure is an MM taboo tropical romance with MM+ play with no cheating. Features an age gap, a loving Daddy, and a sweet needy boy. Set sail aboard the Harlowe Two for a wild scorching summer adventure.

Being a single mom and struggling actress is hard enough　now Im caught between a ruthless ex and a dangerous, irresistible billionaire with mafia ties.

Every audition feels like a lifeline, every role a chance to change my future.

When I step into Luca Brisco Studios, I never expect to meet Luca Devlin, a man whose very presence commands attention.

Hes more than a billionaire and producer; hes a man with a magnetic pull and a dangerous edge.

Lucas offer of a lead role feels like a dream, but the reality is far more complex.

His touch sends shivers down my spine, and our on-screen passion spills over into real life.

I find myself drawn to him in ways I cant explain, even as his dark past threatens to consume us.

He walked into my life, turned it upside down, and then walked out.

Nine months later, I gave birth to our child. I thought I'd never see him again.

I was wrong.

He's back, and intent on wrecking all my careful planning. Again.

I want him to leave me alone.

But one lopsided grin on that devastatingly handsome face, and I'm reduced to his bedroom plaything once more.

I'm caught in his vortex; my life being shredded apart with every inch closer I get to him.

So why aren't I resisting harder?

He's my disaster, and I can't look away.

Life hasn't been kind to Danny. Severe dyslexia has made learning difficult—has made everything difficult. Sick of struggling, he signs himself up for a sugar baby website in order to pay for college and ends up with Clint. Clint is a cruel sugar daddy who is happy to remind Danny how stupid he is, crossing boundary after boundary, but Danny is in too deep to say no.

When Danny meets Haruto Nakamura, a handsome lawyer who offers Danny a helping hand, Danny figures it's too good to be true. He definitely doesn't deserve Haru's thoughtful gifts or him working to help Danny get education accommodations, but he finds he doesn't want to turn Haru away either.

No one has ever helped Danny like Haru, never fought for him like Haru, especially not for free. But Danny knows everyone has a motive. Haru can't genuinely like Danny…can he?

Colt

I never thought I would end up back in Texas, but when the woman I had a fling with calls to tell me she's having my baby, I know there is no other place I should be.

It doesn't hurt that I still haven't stopped thinking about my time with the Texan beauty.

My life is thrown into chaos as soon as I arrive. From taking care of Kaitlyn and my son to dealing with the politics of being in another chapter's territory, I am running in circles.

When tragedy strikes, I'm not sure who I can trust anymore, the club I've been a part of most of my life or the one my baby mama was born into.

All I know is that I'm going to need help from my brothers back home to solve this murder.

Kaitlyn

I always wanted to be a mother, but I never imagined that I would have one with a member of an MC that wasn't my father's.

Then I met Colt, and we had a fling for the story books.

We are thrust together in this adventure in new parenthood, but Colt has more on his mind than just our little family.

For once in my life, I want to be a priority, but I know how MC life goes. If the club calls, you answer.

Only Colt seems different. At least until there is a murder in his club and all signs point to my father's.

Suddenly I'm in the middle of a war I want nothing to do with, but helpless to stop it.

Will I be able to keep the peace between all the important people in my life or will I be forced to choose sides?

Married to a monster in a sharp suit, the infamous Devil of New York—whats a girl to do when her husband is the enemy, and every touch is a forbidden temptation?

Once the pristine daughter of an anti-mafia crusader, now bound in a forced, unholy union with Alexei Vadim.

y innocence is a stark contrast to his dark empire, his touch both a thrill and a terror.

Each whispered promise from him teeters on the brink of sinful, drawing me deeper into a realm I was taught to despise. As the shadow of The Phoenix looms over us, the very organization my father secretly belongs to, our fates intertwine with dangerous secrets.

His dark allure challenges everything I am, turning my world of black and white into a seductive palette of grays.

Bound by a ring and secrets, Im caught in a dangerous dance of firsts—first touches, first sins, first loves.

How can I crave the touch of a man whose very existence threatens everything I hold dear?

In the shadows of our lies, will I find my truth or lose my heart to the devil himself?

Its Mia Kennedys first day working at Bellevue Asylum and she couldnt be more excited to begin her nursing career. If only she knew that the man she should be most afraid of would turn out to be the one she couldnt let go.

Jamison Coy has been shut away for ten years in the asylum with no hope of escape. He never cared about leaving until he saw her. Now all his thoughts are consumed with Mia and how he can have her all to himself.

Chances: They say you always regret the ones you don't take. But that's not true. Sometimes they're just dead ends, and they're going to get you nowhere.

I pass up on a chance the night I meet up with a beautiful-but-reluctant, brown-eyed boy; too preoccupied with my imploding job to figure out why he's so cagey.

But then Alex sends me a tantalizing photograph, and on a whim, I send him one back. And his unexpected reply makes my pulse race.

When he calls asking for help, I can't say no. And the shy smile, tight body, and sun-in-autumn eyes drag me in, so I bury my poor relationship history and hope that this time it will all be different.

Having Alex in my life makes me want something I've never had before, gives me hope. So I don't think about the consequences until I discover he has some brutal secrets of his own. And then I wish I'd remembered that first rule:

Some chances are going nowhere.

Colby Covington has no clue if there's anything in the world for him beyond Briar County. His family assumes he'll do as they do: work Covington Acres, get married, have kids. Colby doesn't want children, and seeing as he's never felt even an inkling of romantic love for another person, he sure as hell isn't interested in marriage.

In his mid-forties, Vincent O'Brien is starting over in the small town of Harmony. After being cheated on, again, he's sworn off ever falling in love. As fate would have it, Vince needs a place to stay, and Colby has a spare room.

With an immediate connection that shakes up Colby's sheltered world, neither man expects their friendship to blossom so fast…or for a semi-public hookup to make Colby realize he's bi. Friends with benefits is perfect. It's easy, it's fun, they trust each other, and neither Vince nor Colby wants anything serious.

But the more their lives intertwine, the more Colby starts to feel something he'd thought himself incapable of. Something like love, with Vince…the man who will never feel—or want—the same.

Covington Acres is a small-town, bisexual/demiromantic awakening, friends-with-benefits romance with mature characters, home-brewed beer, and secret kisses.

A straight-forward contractor and a bubbly, very not-straight TV show host find a hidden secret from the past. They say history repeats itself, but Jake and Max deserve a happier ending

Jake: I'm a no-nonsense guy. A straight shooter. I have to be. There's not much choice in the home renovation industry. If you love your job as much as I do and want to keep doing it, you can't sugar coat things. Some call that grumpy. I call it respecting everyone's time.

So when my boss tells me my latest project involves being shadowed by a camera crew for a home improvement show, I'm not happy. When the host turns out to be a young, enthusiastic ray of sunshine, I hate it even more.

Who cares if he's charming and good looking? I'm straight and won't be swayed by his good looks or his charm. He and his crew can follow me around for a few weeks, and then he'll be out of my hair and I'll never have to see him again. Which is what I want. Absolutely.

Becca

Adventure isn't my middle name, and my ex-boyfriend was sure to point that out as I promised to take the trip to Rio we'd scheduled together.

And I'll show him…

How to get stranded with no where to stay, until the sexy and sultry Davi Santos comes along.

He suggests that he can help me find a place to stay.

Little do I know, it's with him in his 5-Star hotel on the beach!

Davi, with his tousled wave hair that matches the ocean that he conquers on his surfboard, and his tanned chiseled abs that scream of a man who can't get enough sun, takes me in and shows me that not every man will love and leave.

But I'm going to have to leave, so maybe a pre-emptive strike is necessary to protect my heart.

Davi

I can't help myself when I see a crying woman, I step up.

My mother would curse me if I didn't.

There is so much life in this freckle-faced, melted chocolate-eyed beauty.

The Brazilian sun isn't as bright as Beccas smile and her curves rival those of the ocean that I surf on.

Becca might have come here to get away from the man who broke her heart, but I'm determined to be the one to fix it.

I might have to leave my beloved Rio to make that happen, but as they say here: Você é o mundo para mim.

You are my life, Becca.

Adams had a crush on Mason since he was a teen. When Mason and Adam get snowed in at Adams family cabin, sparks fly. Will Mason still look at Adam as his best friends little brother, or will he finally see Adam as more than a friend?

An investigation goes awry.

Their world gets turned upside down.

Embers ignite in close proximity.

FBI Agent Gabe Long finds himself reluctantly assigned to keep an eye on Sebastian Roth after the detective meets with a couple of too-related-to-be-coincidental “accidents.” He isn't too happy about having to play babysitter to a stubborn, impulsive, and relentless investigator who won't let go of a dangerous pedophile ring case, but the man has clearly gotten himself into some hot water.

Frankie Zolnai is a skilled physical therapist known for his compassion and commitment to his patients. His warm smile and gentle demeanor create a safe space for those in need of healing. At the request of his best friend, Newt, Frankie agrees to provide PT to Sebastian after an accident leaves Sebastian injured.

Gabe and Frankie's paths cross and as the two connect over their shared medical knowledge, and sparks fly. As the two men get to know each other, Gabe reveals things about his past very few people know. Frankie quickly becomes a person Gabe can count on to be there—a rare thing for Gabe.

Gabe wasn't looking for love, but that might just be what found him—in the most interesting of ways.

I dumped my toxic ex on national television—but I'll be in the clear if this grumpy, small-town doctor makes a convincing boyfriend … big “if”.

Ally

Heartwood is the perfect escape. Well, almost perfect. My new boss, Dr. Mason Landry, is territorial, irritable—and inconsiderately hot. But after the living hell of reality TV, a small-town doctor isn't going to intimidate me.

Then my ex-fiancé waltzes into town and suddenly, I'm fake dating my new boss in a desperate attempt to stand my ground…

To my surprise, Mason agrees to a fake relationship—with tight boundaries and a one-week limit, of course. Which is fine until my past outstays its welcome.

Mason

Ally Wells is a pain in my ass. First, she waltzes into the clinic like she owns the place. Second, she ropes me into being her fake boyfriend the minute her smarmy ex shows up in town. And third, I can't stop thinking about her.

I would be thrilled if she left town tomorrow, if she wasn't the only thing that might save my clinic from financial ruin.

But our lovey-dovey act isn't the only lie I've been telling—and as Ally slowly chips away at my tough exterior, I have to grapple with the idea of a life beyond the clinic walls.

A bratty middle meets his match in his strict step-uncle when he pushes all the wrong buttons.

Samson

There were other ways I could've spent my summer, but my sister's stepson needed a swift kick in the rear and she thought I was the perfect man for the job. I'm no brat tamer, so being saddled with one wasnt my idea of a good time, but I can see the appeal when my… less-than-conventional methods prove fruitful.

Matteo

Sam is an egotistical, cocky, rude, impatient jerk. He's also my boss for the summer… and my stepmom's brother—did I mention he's hot AF? He's supposed to be teaching me a lesson about becoming a man and respecting authority, but his methods probably aren't what my parents had in mind.

THE GODS ARE BEGINNING TO WHISPER, BUT WILL THE GODDESS OF LUCK SMILE UPON EIRA?

Eira never asked to be blessed by the gods—to be a Divine. After killing her childhood best friend by accident, she wishes they'd take her gift back. Now she cloisters herself in the Temple of Ahrea to keep others safe from her. Despite the volatile nature of her Divine power, Eira longs to use it to help others in the realm.

After healing wounded guild members of the Copper Jackals, Eira learns more about the missing people across the kingdom. Then the mysterious, wind-wielding Caelus arrives at the temple from the royal capital, claiming he's there to help research runes. But when Teeg, a young boy she cares for like a younger brother, goes missing, Eira abandons the temple with Caelus at her side to search for him.

While traveling to the dwarven city in the mountains, Caelus challenges Eira's beliefs about her power, and sends her heart racing. However, when the two discover dark truths about the disappearances throughout the kingdom, Eira realizes that finding Teeg won't be as easy as she hoped.

Karmen is being punished. Okay so she might have accidentally stabbed her teacher with a pencil, but he had it coming. Unfortunately for Karmen, her mother still had the power to send her to Bellevue Asylum for an evaluation. Being locked up isnt so bad. Especially when Dr. Rourk is assigned to her case. Hes the only one whos ever made her want to be a good girl.

Dr. Rourk isnt one to break the rules. Sure, hes been known to bend a few here and there, but he always does the right thing. Until Karmen. The first time she walks into his office, hes ready to cross every line to have her.

Warning: Come back to Bellevue Asylum for one more story of finding love. This duet is out of pocket and we cant get enough!

It's strange how quickly life can go from predictable and boring to…not.

How a chance meeting can set off a chain reaction.

How a single moment can offer much-needed clarity.

How a kiss can alter the course of your life.

Valentine Malone fell into my life…correction, I fell into his in the aisle of a grocery store. I fell, not in love, but literally into him right before I stumbled into a display rack of parmesan cheese. Our second run-in had me on the floor slipping and sliding in broken party tubs of margarita mix. And if the first two encounters weren't embarrassing enough, the third left nothing to the imagination when I walked in on Hot Cop in all his magnificent glory in the shower. Not exactly the meet cute I'd always dreamed of. Three chance meetings was all it took for my perfectly uninteresting life to take a turn.

From the moment she backed into me at the grocery store, I couldn't get Sophie out of my mind. Beautiful, funny, sweet. And it turns out, brave in the face of sudden danger. She's everything I ever wanted, and a woman I'll never deserve. If she knew my secret, sweet Sophie would run and never look back.

But even if I can't keep her, I'll do anything to protect her from her own family's decades-old secrets and an unknown past that leaves her at the mercy of a mysterious enemy. It'll take everything I know about being on a SWAT team to save her. But will she still want me when my secrets come to light?

With the threat closing in, Delaney has no choice but to turn to Carter. If she can find the courage to trust Carter's promises and share her secret, their future will be full of the life and love they've always wanted. If not, Delaney may not only lose her first love, but her life.

Bergan

I will be the first female hockey announcer.

If its the last thing I do.

And getting an exclusive story about Harrison Briggs is just the way to do it.

Little do I know how charming the playboy of the Frostwolves is.

But I try to keep my frosty attitude with men engaged.

Harrison is sexy and sweet both with a capital S but he knows it and he begins to thaw my icy attitude, especially when I see what hes really like.

But when I hear him saying those special three words to another woman, I'm crushed, but is it him or my past thats the real problem.

Will I get the story I need to achieve my dream goal or will I get the story that I need to show everyone who Harrison really is?

Harrison

Im not meant to be on this team, and I want to go back to Cali so I can surf and hockey at the same time.

Bergans spit and vinegar in the perfect curvy body and all I want to do is skate my way into her heart.

But shes also all business and barely even laughs at any of my jokes.

Shes been hurt, but that shouldnt stop her from falling for a Cali boy like me.

When I take her to an event and she sees what the tabloids wont tell anyone, she starts to soften and I make my move.

Her distrust ends up making her run from me.

But Im not going anywhere now.

Colorado is my home and Bergan is meant to be in my home with me.

Can I convince her that what she heard was just a moment with someone I care about and shes the only woman I truly love?

ASH

All stepbrothers need Step Donts.

Colin and I have ours.

Like, dont pit our parents against either of us. Dont hog the TV. And definitely

Dont.

Keep.

Secrets.

These rules have done more than help us keep the peace between us.

After all these years since our parents got together, I cant imagine my life without Colin.

To most people, hes the hot, straight tight end for Peach State.

But to me, hes my backward-cap-wearing, football-loving, piggyback-ride-giving best friend and fellow Alpha Theta Mu frat bro.

Lifes pretty incredible living together at the same frat house, but suddenly, I find myself keeping a particularly naughty secret.

I tell myself Colin wouldnt want to know what his bi bro does in private, but then why do I feel like Im committing a huge Step Dont?

COLIN

Theres nothing Im more of an expert in than my stepbro, Ash.

Hes a quick-witted, nerd-boy genius whos always there to help a friend cram for a test or capture bugs for me when they invade my space.

Hes my favorite person.

Making him happy gives me a rushbut for the first time, hes keeping a secret from me.

When Ash cops to his Step Dont—his new extracurricular of doing dirty things on camera—Im confused.

He is too, so we work together to figure out why this excites him so much.

In places were likely to get caught.

After all, whats a little exhibitionism between stepbros?

I didnt even realize I could be into guys—or be so intoxicated by these new experiences—but exploring my bisexuality with Ash is the best thing thats ever happened to me.

And with each touch, each time we up the stakes, I discover I want more than just Ashs body.

I want his heart too, even though that surely must be the biggest Step Dont of all.

This is the second book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Run, Little Siren.

The Ghost:

She is mine.

My little siren.

I was hooked from the very first moment, drawn in like a moth to her flame. I watch her, protect her, with everything I have. It's a compulsion I cant resist, no matter how hard I try. Her pull on me is otherworldly and she isn't even aware of it. The things I will do for her, the lengths I will go to have her.

Nothing and no one will stand in my way.

The Siren:

My life has been a tragic disaster for as long as I can remember. That is until my parents go missing and I can finally start living my own life. The thought is overwhelming. Pulling myself from the protective fog I've cloaked myself in proves more difficult than I ever imagined. Is it even worth the fight? To emerge from the safety my own mind offers and face the real world. One night changes everything and suddenly I don't have a say in the matter.

Had it not been for the scent bottles, it is unlikely that Daniel Shelbourne, Viscount Reculver, and Anna Hawthorne of Hawthorne's Porcelain would ever have met.

Daniel's late father left him an impoverished estate – which he had expected – and unexplained debts, which he hadn't. Anna inherited a thriving business, along with the knowledge and passion required to run it.

Daniel needs money quickly if his family is to avoid ruin.

Anna wants to create a tribute to her father's vision and skill.

He is desperate; she, astute and determined.

So when Anna hears whispers that Lord Reculver is discreetly selling some of his possessions, she remembers the large collection of scent bottles purchased from Hawthorne's over the years … all of them designed by her father.

They are exactly what she needs.

Moreover, selling them to her will give his lordship some of what he needs.

All she has to do, therefore, is make him a reasonable offer.

Simple. Or is it?

My team is there to catch the robbers, but hes in my path and refuses to leave

I have him withheld to teach him a lesson, but when Im heading to the parking lot, the snowstorm has us snowed in

He annoys me, but with the broken heating system, his spaceship may be the only place thats safe. I hate that, but we have to stay alive in his dumb spaceship. Worse, theres only one bed

He may be innocent, but he cant impress me just by acting nice, not just like that. Well, his four arms wont sweeten the deal either. Yet keeping myself away from him may be harder than I expected.

Will whats between us remain after the snowstorm is over? Or will everything melt with the snow?

His four arms seem to seep into my personal space. Day by day, he seems to move closer to me.

It is the first day at school where I become a librarian. The school hall is crowded with air sucked out of my lungs. There comes Telke, the big kotoll sports teacher with his four arms, sitting next to me, feeling like hell squeeze into me even when hes just there, seated.

It feels like I run into him all the time at school. I was getting annoyed until an accident happened and he wasnt around me all the time. Maybe I miss the big guy, or its just a thing with habit.

Which is harder? For him to keep four hands off me or for me to keep my two hands off him?

Clayton

Being the star player on the Walker Wolves has been everything I was working towards.

That is, until my grades slip, threatening to take it all from me.

I have to do something drastic to keep my dreams alive, so I hire a tutor.

That's when I met her.

Grace Myers.

She is the complete opposite of me. Shy, innocent, kind.

She's meant to tutor me on school, so why does it feel like she is schooling me on life?

Grace

I have spent half my life in love with Kellan Cooper, but he has never felt the same.

If friendship is all he can offer, it's what I'll take from him.

I thought life was simple.

Until I met him.

Clayton James.

He is everything I've always hated. Loud, arrogant, a player.

So why do I find myself unable to stop thinking about him and his lips?

When opposites attract, will they have a fairytale ending or are they destined to crash and burn?

A convict. A firefighter. A chance to slay the past and heal a wounded heart.

Firefighter Jackson Hall is content with his work in search and rescue with the aerial division in California. He also heads up the Cal Fire Inmate Program.

With his faithful golden retriever by his side, and the animal charities he's dedicated to, he needs nothing else to make him happy.

Preferring life with no-strings-attached entanglements, Jax avoids anything more than hook-ups. That is, until one timid prisoner catches his eye and he finds himself doting on the inmate in ways he never expected.

Ayen Gonzalez was convicted of the attempted manslaughter of his husband, despite the brutal circumstances surrounding his marriage. His past is far less than ideal, and now he just wants to do his time and get out.

As a reward for good behavior, he is given the opportunity to work for an inmate program to be trained to fight forest fires. Ayen is more than happy for the opportunity to escape the prison walls.

Then he meets Jackson and his heart stutters whenever the striking older man comes near. Thing is, Ayen can't quite figure out what he has to offer a man like Jax.

When the program ends, will Jackson be able to set things in motion to right the wrongs of the justice system in Ayen's case? Or will he be stuck waiting three more years for the man he's fallen in love with?
