There’s no escape. “You’re not leaving. You belong to me. Get used to it.” Blake Baird is a man who takes what he wants. And now he’s taken me. I came for the job as a maid but now… His dark eyes hint at all the things he’s done as leader of the Scottish mob. He won’t hurt me, I tell myself. He and Dad were best friends once. Surely that will keep me safe, but he wants steaminess, not violence. My self-esteem isn’t low, but hey, I’m a realist. I’m nineteen, on the curvy side, and determined to find the man who killed my mother. I’m not built to satisfy this mob-boss ...

One tech conference disaster nearly cost me my career. Instead, it threw me into the arms of Luke Cross—a devastatingly charming CEO who operates on a level I've only read about. He’s the silver fox who fixes problems, and apparently, I’m his newest, most consuming project. Our Vegas fling was meant to be temporary, a stolen escape fueled by intense chemistry. But Luke doesn't do temporary. His possessive whispers follow me home, promising a future across state lines. Just as I start to believe in fairy tales, reality crashes down. A brutal tech war erupts, positioning his company as ...

This is my dream job—and I can’t afford to risk it. But when the single dad kisses me, resisting him becomes impossible… Gray Aldridge is everything I shouldn’t want: tall, handsome, and impossibly confident.

With my aunt's medical bills piling up, I can't afford to say no to this payday: pretend to be a mob prince's fiancée, plan a fake wedding, and keep my emotions out of it. Simple, right? The only hitch? I'm falling for him. Dario Moretti is everything I’m not—wealthy, refined, and dangerously charming. He belongs to a world of luxury and power, while I’m just trying to stay afloat. I never imagined I'd start caring about him, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that this is all just a job. Dario’s gaze lingers a little too long. His touch sends shivers...

When I was a kid, he was my hero. I never would’ve dreamed he was a secret mob boss with darkness in his soul. Years after my encounter with Killian Callahan, the man walks into my bakery. He teases that meeting after so many years is fate. It isn’t funny to me. Each time he visits, my crush grows more intense.

I thought I was done with men, until I met my dad’s best friend. After getting left at the altar, I want a home that’s all my own. A place where I can go to pick up the pieces. My grandma’s old house is perfect . . . or at least, it will be once I renovate it. Luckily, my dad’s best friend Austin is the best foreman in town. He’s filthy rich and gorgeous - tall, broad shoulders and kind brown eyes that draw me in. He’s also twice my age. Totally off limits. But when we finally kiss, I find out just how good forbidden tastes. We’re no longer able to keep our hands off each ...

It’s impossible, but there he is, walking across the street… toward me. Luke Hart, the tech billionaire and my crush. Is this a dream come true or a dream I will wake from?

I never meant to fall for my best friend’s father—the grumpy, gorgeous billionaire I should’ve run from. One broken-down car. One reckless night.

I’m lucky to be working my dream job in a tattoo parlor. And now I get to tattoo my dream man? Kayden was a dog handler in the Marines, and now he wants to get his service animal tattooed on his muscled shoulder. No way an older, experienced guy would look twice at a curvy girl like me. Right?

I try to banish the steamy thoughts. I tell myself it’s innocent, but his eyes tell a ...
