The Nightmare that Never Ends (Wonderland: Shattered Glass, Book 1) by @jdglasscock Narrated by Michael Norman Johnson (@thanatusnyx) & Laurie Catherine Winkel
The tea has gone cold. The courts have fallen silent. And the city never stops moving.
Dragged from Earth into a vast, vertical metropolis of brass, stone, and steam, Corvin Wren discovers that Wonderland runs on rules he never agreed to. Numbers crawl across his vision. Invisible thresholds lock his body in place. Progress is tracked, measured, and punished when it goes wrong.
Here, survival is not heroic. It is permitted.
The city is governed by an unseen System that tolerates vice, violence, and decay as long as everything keeps working. Factions war quietly through factories and alleys. Clockwork constructs guard sealed spaces. Dungeons open where they shouldn’t, and close without warning.
Corvin’s only guide is Daffodil, a goblin scavenger who knows how to live between the gears without being crushed by them.
As Corvin learns the cost of gaining strength in a city that optimizes for stability, he begins to realize that Wonderland does not erase its past.
It buries it.
Somewhere beneath the streets, old names still carry weight. Some truths were never corrected, only contained. And the System is already watching him too closely.
Welcome back to Wonderland. This time, it’s not pretending to be kind.
Sometimes you have to break all the rules to find everything you never knew you wanted. Come along for the fun, sexy ride as billionaire Fitz Silver pursues his biggest challenge yet—taming wild child Jennifer Stone. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you thinking about it long after you read the last page.
Silver Island’s golden boy Fitz Silver keeps his business dealings clean, his affairs private, and fulfills every promise he makes. Infuriatingly so. He’s six-plus feet of gentleman in the streets and an unrelenting alpha in the sheets. I should know. I enjoyed a single scorching night in his bed over the summer. But contrary to him being every woman’s fantasy, Fitz is my worst nightmare. I’m a risk taker, a rule breaker. I wasn’t looking for more than a little vacation fun, but that passionate night knocked me off my feet. When a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the man who ruined me for all others, I know better than to land in his bed again. Unfortunately, outside my job as a high school principal, I’m not known for my good decisions. Once again I plan to leave Mr. Silver and our surprising connection behind, but he’s annoyingly unforgettable, and then two pink lines change everything.
I make the rules. I just never expected her to make me break every last one of them.
As a man who built an empire on absolute control, I don’t negotiate, and I sure as hell don’t do feelings. My arrangements are always clear: no promises, no forever.
Then came Rory. She doesn’t just capture my attention—she consumes it.
I thought I owned the game.
I thought I owned us.
Until Rory did the unthinkable and walked away.
I gave her space, but when news reaches me that she’s been offered a job on the other side of the country, the illusion of letting her go burns to the ground. Packing up and moving thousands of miles away from me? Not on my watch.
As I close the distance between us, I find out she isn’t just running from us—she’s hiding a secret. She’s about to learn that I’m not letting her go, and nothing will stop me from going after what’s mine.
Vik has been happy with the rules that governed his relationship with Rory where they would enjoy each other until either one of them decided to leave. He never expected that Rory would end their relationship and even though he was miserable he was trying to be patient until his assistant and her friend tell him that she is leaving town.
Rory was happy with Vik until she receives news that she doesn’t believe he will be happy about. Instead of telling him she decides that they should just go their separate ways however she is about to find out that he isn’t about to walk away from her or the life they could have.
Vik is protective and the chemistry between he and Rory was never in doubt but seeing the sweet and caring side of Vik who is willing to do anything for her will have you believing in love and happy ever afters.

Bill Keenan played hockey at Harvard University from 2005 to 2008 and professionally in Europe from 2009 to 2012. After completing his MBA at Columbia Business School, he worked for two years in Deutsche Bank’s investment banking division. He currently serves as COO of Graydon Carter’s Air Mail.
Julian Langley has everything a man could ever want—a sprawling Manhattan townhouse, a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, and ownership of the New York Vipers, one of the most coveted franchises in professional hockey. What he doesn’t have, and will never allow himself, is anyone who matters too much. Carrying a devastating loss that completely reshaped him, Julian has since built his life around the certainty that nothing will ever cost him that dearly again.
Harper Hawthorne isn’t looking for a billionaire. She’s looking for a way to keep the lights on. Single-handedly holding her world together since she was a teenager, Harper works two jobs, lives in a rent-controlled apartment on the Lower East Side, and sacrifices everything for her younger brother. When an unexpected phone call lands her a chauffeur job behind the wheel of Julian’s car, she takes it for exactly what it is: a paycheck.
Julian notices everything about her. Harper tries not to notice anything about him. What begins as a professional arrangement starts to crack at the edges when Harper proves, repeatedly and effortlessly, that she’s unlike anyone Julian has ever encountered before. She’s too sharp to ignore, too genuine to keep at arm’s length, and entirely unimpressed by his world in a way that makes it impossible for him to stop thinking about her.
Julian doesn’t do commitment. Harper doesn’t believe in fairy tales. But some collisions are inevitable and some people are worth every risk you swore you’d never take again.
Julian is a slow-burn hockey romance about a guarded billionaire, the woman who got under his skin without trying, and the long road back to trusting that a second shot at love is always worth the leap.
Who thought it was a good idea to make lakes so cold? Or so wet? Or so slimy?
I right myself under the water, treading even though it’s not too deep. But this is no easy feat with sneakers on. But I manage, then pop my head above the surface, batting at the hair sticking to my face as I blink lake water out of my eyes.
When two strong arms wrap around my waist.
Is that…?
I look up. Sawyer’s kneeling on the dock, arms stretched into the water—and he’s lifting me out of it.
He’s hauling me up like I weigh nothing, tugging me back onto the wood slats. My soaked body smacks into his…very firm chest. Yep. I was right about the arms. Right about the chest. He’s all kinds of strong.
“I’ve got you,” he says, steady and calm, pulling me the rest of the way…right into his lap.
I’m still a little dazed—getting tackled by a rowdy partier will do that to you. But still, I manage to say, “I’m surprised you didn’t jump in after me.”
“You don’t strike me as the kind of woman who wants a man making himself the center of attention.”
Damn. He’s right. “It would have been ridiculous too, right?”
He arches a brow in a way that says he’ll go toe-to-toe with me. “Want a do-over and I’ll jump in this time?”
“Maybe I do,” I tease.
“Also, the water’s maybe three feet deep,” he says and, okay, he has a point. “Didn’t seem like you needed rescuing.”
“Spoken like a man who’s never watched Mr. Darcy emerge from the lake in Pride and Prejudice.”
His smile quirks, sexy and wry. “My white shirt is wet,” he says, plucking at the fabric. “But if you want the full Darcy moment, say the word.”
I’m more interested in his shirt now though. I glance down, and hello, six-pack. “Yes, it is.”
Then I glance at myself.
Oh. Oh no.
My white dress is soaked. And officially see-through. Of course this has happened tonight. Of course it has happened to me.
Evidently, the universe won’t let me have nice things.
About I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU (Coming 7/28/2026):
My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.
But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.
A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.
Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.
Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.
But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.
Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.
Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.
Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.
