Apparently women are supposed to decide between a man or a bear in the woods.
When I find a gorgeous woman in the forest, I hope she chooses me.

Having Wolfe as a last name is dramatic enough. My nickname is Bear. Which complements my grouchy persona, and the way I keep to myself in the woods, avoiding strangers.

Until I meet Joy.

She’s the sugar in the black coffee of my life.

A beautiful, thoughtful ray of light… who triggers deep desires that I thought had been hibernating. One touch of her radiant skin and I’m hypnotized. One brush of her lips and I’m fantasizing about moving her in with me immediately.

She seems to understand how prickly I get in crowds, and how I hate being analyzed because of my family.

Yet I will step into a million spotlights if that’s what it takes to make her happy, keep her safe, and improve her life.

No matter what I was like in the past, I will do anything for my sexy-sweet sugar.

What happens when a grumpy billionaire tech genius accidentally on-purposes his way into guardianship of the sunshine heiress he’s been low-key stalking for years? Firewalls, feelings, and spectacularly bad decisions fly.

Tristan Vanderbilt’s whole carefully-controlled life implodes when he becomes guardian to Lily Swan, daughter of his definitely-murdered mentor. He was only going to watch her. Keep her safe. Maybe build a dating app to talk to her anonymously, install surveillance across from her best friend’s estate, and break into her bedroom that one time. New mission: convince the girl he’s been obsessed with since forever that this is all totally normal protector behavior. She is, after all, his princess.

Lily Swan has terrible luck with escapes. Every time she runs, Tristan appears. This time his appearance is in her actual bedroom at 3 AM being emotionally vulnerable and annoyingly hot. He’s either the most dedicated guardian in history or a complete disaster. Possibly both. New mission: figure out if she’s escaping from him or running toward him. He is, after all, her sweetheart.

“Meet Cute the Virgin” weaves obsession and chaos in a story where love and terrible boundary-setting collide, leaving readers wondering if red flags can just be… decorative?

Tori

I’m in love with a man that I’ve never met and I should be institutionalized for even admitting it.

Sir makes me feel alive, in ways that no one else ever has. He calls me his Diamond and his voice sets me ablaze.

I spent years in a toxic relationship, owned by a man that didn’t love me. My past traumas prevented me from being touched by others, but now that’s all I crave.

The screen and his anonymity keep us apart, but I fear that I’m just the girl behind the camera, tangled up in a man that can’t give me his heart.

Dare

I touched something that didn’t belong to me and hurt someone that I would die for.

Now, I’m cursed to watch and never touch, because all I do is destroy.

Diamonds may be the strongest gem, but can mine withstand the storm I’m in?

I’ve fallen in love with her, but I fear that if I’m not careful, the flames of my guilt will shatter the temptress that lights my body and soul on fire.

Morgan

It was supposed to be one night of fun before my next life chapter, but that reckless decision follows me to my new home. I’m drawn to the biker more than I should be, and his charming self lingers in my heart even when he’s not there. Being with him jeopardizes my career in law enforcement, yet I can’t seem to stay away. I can only hope that no one finds out.

Creed

I shouldn’t want her, the new deputy in town. She’s the epitome of a bad idea, making my life harder, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge. The more time I spend with her, the more my desire to make her mine becomes unbearable to control. One quick, selfish decision seals our future. I’ll do anything to protect and keep her.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects, in this breathtaking novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After.

Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn’t.

At thirty-two, Fern’s life doesn’t look at all how she once imagined it would. Instead of living in the city, Fern’s back home, running her mother’s lakeside resort—something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend’s the manager, and Fern doesn’t know where to begin.

She needs a plan—a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern’s going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern’s not sure she wants to know what it is.

But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?

The most dangerous stray you’ll ever take in won’t have four legs. He’ll have a Russian accent, a little girl’s hand in his, and the Bratva at his back.

I run a shelter in Savannah. I care for the broken, the abandoned, the ones everybody else gave up on. So when a man calls about a dog for his daughter, I figure it’s a normal Tuesday.

I could not have been more wrong.

Alexei Agapov sweeps the room before his eyes ever land on me. Ice-blue stare. Tattoos curling out of his collar. Every warning my mama ever gave me, wrapped up in one sinful package.

So naturally, I reach into my pocket to show him my kennel notes – and hand him a dog treat.

(In my defense. He’s very distracting.)

It’s his daughter who undoes me. Ivy. Six years old. A laugh that fills the room. And a father who looks at her like she’s the only soft thing left in his world.

She comes back. Week after week. For a while, it’s easy to pretend Alexei is just a mysterious rich guy with a quiet daughter.

But then they come for Ivy.

They don’t get her, but she’s too shattered to let anyone near. Anyone but me.

So I follow her behind his gates – into the one place her father can keep her safe. I can resist a dangerous man. But a broken heart that needs a second chance? Never.

I keep telling myself it’s temporary. That I can care about Ivy and still walk away.

I’m lying. About every part of it.

Because in Alexei’s world, love is leverage.

And no one can know I’m carrying his child.

What He Craves is Book One of the Silent Sins: Agapov Bratva duet – a full-length single-dad mafia romance with a cliffhanger ending and a guaranteed HEA at the end of Book Two. A touch-her-and-die hero, a sunshine heroine who runs toward the fire, and a six-year-old who steals every scene. For readers who love icy Bratva alphas, slow-burn obsession, and the kind of tension that wrecks your sleep schedule.
