Be careful out in the woods.
You might run into the love of your life.

What an incredible nature walk… until I end up lost and hurt.

I’m stuck. Helpless.

I think it’s a bear lumbering toward me, but no… this guy is even grumpier. Surly, even. Barrett seems to soften a bit around the edges when he sees that I’m not the average loud, littering tourist.

This handsome older man doesn’t seem to realize he’s so sexy I can hardly breathe. He’s as massive as the mountain, and nearly as quiet. His tree trunk arms feel like my shelter, and his soulful eyes possess a stillness that I find inspirational.

He’s extremely protective. Almost too much. And he definitely wants me.

This wild lust overtakes us both, but it seems too quick to be something everlasting.

Could this gorgeous mountain man truly be obsessed already?

Accidentally Abducted

Book 1 of the Nereidan Compatibility Program Series

Jake Morrison’s Tuesday night was supposed to be boring. Pizza, Netflix, and maybe texting his fitness influencer ex-boyfriend to turn down the volume on his upstairs workout routine.

What he didn’t expect was to be yanked off his couch by a blue light and deposited in front of a very naked, very confused alien who was definitely expecting someone else.

Meet Zeph’hai, Nereidan researcher and owner of the galaxy’s worst pickup technique. His people need compatible partners to survive, and their extensive research indicated that Derek Cross (Jake’s Instagram-famous ex) was the perfect candidate. Unfortunately, alien intel gathered from Instagram and “educational videos” isn’t exactly reliable.

Now Jake’s stuck on an alien ship for 72 hours with a gorgeous blue alien who glows when he’s turned on, thinks pancakes are construction material, and has clearly never heard of personal boundaries. The empathic connection forming between them is just a bonus side effect. Right?

But when Jake discovers this isn’t just alien speed dating but a one-shot chance at permanent interspecies partnership, everything changes. Because falling for your accidental abductor is complicated enough without adding species survival, cultural exchange, and the fact that Derek’s still getting his own alien assessment.

Some mistakes are worth making. Some accidents change everything. And some connections are worth risking everything for.

A steamy sci-fi romance featuring mistaken identity, bioluminescent aliens, size differences, empathic bonding, and the revolutionary concept that food should taste good. Low angst, high heat, with a guaranteed HEA and series setup.

Tropes: Alien abduction • Mistaken identity • Forced proximity • Size difference • Bioluminescent alien • Empathic bond • Fish out of water • Only one chance at love • Domestic intimacy

COMPLETE 5-BOOK SERIES

She’s the one that got away. He’s the one that never let her go.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled, the next book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, a small-town romance in which past lovers get a second chance to rediscover what they lost

“The perfect farewell . . . I dare you to get to the last page without turning right back around to walk through the gates of Rebel Blue all over again. I’ll see you there.”—Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows

Camille Ashwood had always loved a plan. Her latest was her best yet. She was going to get married so she could secure her daughter’s future, get her overbearing parents off her back, and finally start building her own life in small-town Meadowlark, Wyoming. Easy, right?

But when her groom doesn’t show up to the wedding, Cam’s life is turned upside down—she doesn’t even have a place to live. That is until she finds out the house she’s loved since high school is available to rent. There’s only one problem: the neighbor.

Dusty Tucker has spent nearly all of his adult life running. Running from what, though? More like who: Cam Ashwood. But ever since he returned home last year, the girl who was his first, well, everything has become a woman seemingly determined to keep him at arm’s length. And he was okay with that—at least, that’s what he kept telling himself. She was getting married, after all. But now she’s single and living next door. Dusty wants to show her that they can be friends, and that he can stay put.

Despite her best attempts to stay far away from Dusty Tucker, Cam realizes that being close to him is like slipping into her favorite jeans. Easy. Comfortable. That is until past wounds start to open and feelings—both old and new—wreak havoc. Nearly ten years after they first met, Dusty and Cam begin to wonder if their first love can also be their last. And this time, will it be forever?

Maxine Walters hates being scared.

When she visits Fright Nights, the premiere Halloween event in town, she doesn’t expect to get lost in a haunted house. But after getting turned around, she meets Hunter, a scare actor she can’t stop thinking about.

Hunter Wilder has worked at Fright Nights for years, but he’s never run into a guest backstage before. Much less one who haunts his daily thoughts.

Until her.

His chance encounter with Max turns their one conversation into his obsession.

Between hookups out of her wildest fantasies and their playful banter, Max thinks she’s getting to know the man behind the mask, but he has secrets. He’s keeping tabs on her. He’s watching her from the shadows, and she has no idea he’s a serial killer.

At least he’s a good serial killer.

When Max’s safety is jeopardized, Hunter’s obsession becomes a blessing. They might’ve only known each other for a month, but in the dark, all bets are off.

Eric is a hockey goalie with one goal of his own: hide as much of his sizable presence behind desks, lockers and hockey pads. That is, until a new girl named Marlow arrives at school and can’t hide her adoration of the 6’6″ bruiser. Both of them are inexperienced in the ways of love, but their attraction is a magnetic force—and soon enough, they’re spending their lunch period in the shadows of the library, sating each other’s hunger. But why won’t Marlow introduce him to her parents? Is she ashamed of his freakish appearance or…is she scared to tell him something?

I was promised to his brother. But it’s Bane Black who owns me.
They said he’d protect me through my long engagement.
Watch me. Guard me. Keep me on a leash.
Instead, he stalks. He breaks. He consumes … And I enjoy letting him.

Bane is heir to an Italian mob family that enforces loyalty with fear and power with blood. But he’s not just their mafia prince.
He’s their executioner. Merciless. Meticulous. Bred to destroy…
Yet, before all of that, he was my neighbor and the boy I secretly fell for.

But when dark times loom and my father can’t pay the debt he owed their family, he offers what was left: my hand in marriage…to the wrong brother.
I thought Bane might save me.
Instead, he believes I betrayed him. And rather than halting the engagement, he takes control of it, punishing me with rough touches, ruthless words, and a rage I crave more than his indifference.

I know I should fear his destruction. But as my wedding nears, I realize I’d choose it over his brother’s gentle hand in marriage a thousand times over.

Bane Black is surely toxic.
But I may be the pretty pink poison destined to be his undoing.

Pretty Pink Poison is a dark mafia romance set in a world of syndicates and secrets, where love was never meant to be soft. It was always going to hurt. This book is darker than other Shain Rose books. Please read content warnings prior to reading.

But their vacation doesn’t quite go according to plan…

When Vander and his brother Rhys are abducted by the local mafia, all hell breaks loose.

There is no way Brynn can do nothing when the life of the man she loves is on the line. She’ll do whatever it takes to rescue him.

There is no way Vander wants his wife in danger, and he knows she’ll come for him. He’ll do whatever it takes to escape.
