Lilah

I’d been hurt enough times to know better than to believe in love.
Sweet I love you’s always rotted into something sour, something spiteful-until I was discarded like I’d never mattered at all.

I kept my world dark on purpose. The only shining light in it was my daughter, my reason for breathing, my reason for surviving.

Everything else? I kept at arm’s length.

Then he waltzed into my home and twisted me up. He took up space in my life and fixed things he didn’t break-things I never wanted him to touch.

With every repair, I saw the truth more clearly. I wasn’t just guarded. I was damaged.

And the cruelest part?

I was the one thing that Xander couldn’t fix.

Xander

I learned control the hard way-it was beaten out of me, stripped from me, and used against me when I was captured in the war.

I took it back and claimed it as my own.

I came home to freedom, but found I’d lost everything that mattered. My wife-consumed by grief-had taken her own life. The guilt of her pain and the nightmares of my time in captivity never loosened their grip.

I drank to numb the pain. And learned to survive sobriety one brutal day at a time.

Then I met her.

Lilah didn’t fear my darkness-she recognized it and embraced it. And for the first time since I lost my wife, since I lost myself, I felt alive again.

After everything I endured, I didn’t want something gentle-I just needed someone to stand in the wreckage and not run away.

When Sage Lee discovers her father is passing his criminal empire to her male cousin instead of her, she decides to burn the whole kingdom down. And who better to help strike the match than the devastatingly dangerous Don Gabriel Costa, her family’s sworn enemy?

Sage offers Gabriel everything he’s ever dreamed of – inside intelligence that could destroy all her family’s built. But she never expected the young Don to set her blood on fire with just one smoldering look.

Gabriel Costa didn’t become the most feared man in the underground by being reckless. When Sage saunters into his life with a vengeance in her eyes and sin on her lips, every instinct screams trap. Yet the allure of destroying the Lee Empire, and claiming its rebellious princess as his own, proves impossible to resist.

Jessica and Brian’s marriage is drowning in unspoken guilt.

Eight months without intimacy. A bedroom that feels more like a courtroom than a sanctuary. The math haunts them both: his thirty-four previous partners to her zero when they met. What should have been experience became a prison—him paralyzed by guilt over “corrupting” her innocence, her frustrated by being treated like a fragile museum piece.

Their therapist’s suggestion is radical: a seven-day cruise designed for couples exploring the boundaries of their relationships. It’s either the answer to their problems or the end of everything they’ve built together.

Now Jessica stands at a pool bar, kissing a stranger while her husband watches from across the deck. The wedding ring on her finger catches the light as she discovers a version of herself she never knew existed. But this is only day one of seven, and the deeper they venture into this new world, the more they’ll learn about desire, jealousy, and the complex mathematics of the heart.

Some marriages are saved by communication. Others require courage.

“Day one of seven.”

A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match.

Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass” scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game … by sending Briana a letter.

And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who’s terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her “sob closet,” and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor … especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.

Ever get dumped, drunk, and depressed on New Year’s Eve then order a personal trainer on a fitness app?
When not one, not two, but three show up the next day, with devilish smiles, rippling muscles, and sculpted abs, I can’t imagine they’ll want anything to do with me.

I could not have been more wrong.

Now I have to choose between three gods who salivate at the chance to make me into the woman I once was:
Finnegan: Irish brogue, green eyes, slender build, and buns of steel.
Pierce: Ex-Marine, brutish, built, blue eyes with thick legs like trees I want to climb.
Cooper: Gorgeous struggling actor and single dad with stormy gray eyes and a little mean, but that will make me work harder.

I can’t choose, so I hire all three.

My pounds may not melt away so fast, but my panties sure do. These guys want me just the way I am.

They don’t share clients, but they share the hell out of me. One, two, sometimes all three at once, they pamper and treasure me.

And watching Pierce and Cooper give in to their desires because I brought them together is more delicious than a Big Mac.

When my husband wants me back, will Finn, Pierce, and Cooper stay my personal trainers, my best friends, and my lovers, or will our love crash harder than a diet on New Year’s Day?

My heart shouldn’t flutter whenever he’s near, but our attraction is undeniable…and so wrong.

I should’ve run fast in the other direction when Luke offered his crazy ‘business proposal’, but I was one paycheck away from losing my house after he convinced my biggest fashion sponsor to drop me.

The deal? He’ll score me a better sponsor if I can pull off the impossible: go on a weekend getaway with him and convince a family-oriented billionaire and his wife that Luke—Mr. ‘I-don’t-do-relationships’ workaholic CEO—is the perfect partner for a potential merger.

But the real trouble starts when our complicated past resurfaces, his eyes linger too long on my mouth, and his touch ignites something deep inside I haven’t allowed myself to feel in years.

Because Luke is off-limits…especially when he also happens to be my ex’s twin brother.

I’m accidentally fake-engaged to my grumpy billionaire boss… and now I’m pretending to be pregnant with his baby.

I take a nanny job for a controlling billionaire single dad, fully planning to keep my head down and my heart locked up.
Instead, I clash with him daily and crave him nightly in my dreams.

Drop-dead gorgeous, dreamy blue eyes, and a body like Adonis, I know he’s completely off-limits.

Then a business deal forces us into a fake engagement.
One reckless public appearance turns into a fake pregnancy scandal I never agreed to star in.

Somewhere between bedtime stories, stolen glances, and the night he takes my V-card, he softens.
He protects me from paparazzi, listens like it matters, and touches me like I’m fragile and precious.

I fall for him. Hard.
Right before his business rival and his ex threaten to expose our fake relationship.

Now the lie that brought us together might cost him his daughter and his company…
costing me the only man I’ve ever loved.
