Alone.That’s the way FBI Agent, Santino Alvarez, prefers to live his life.
To serve, and protect. The oath Santino took the day he was sworn in and one that he fully intends to keep. Playing pretend and blending in.
Nothing is as it seems.
Especially when he collides with Silva Hunt and sparks begin to fly. Romance was never supposed to be in the cards. But Silva awakens something in Santino that he hasn’t felt before.
As things heat up between the two of them, so does the chase between Santino and The Reaper.

Two rivals. One small-town summer. And a heat wave no one saw coming.
Mason Grant is driving me crazy. The grumpy, gorgeous bar owner thinks my waterfront shop belongs to his family. I think he needs to mind his own business.
It all started the moment I arrived in Orchard Cove. I came here for a chance to save my smoothie business. A chance to heal. What I didn’t come here for was to start a war with the town hottie.
Except…Mason is impossible to ignore. And every heated argument just leaves me wanting more. The more time I spend battling him, the harder it is to deny our chemistry. And I know he feels it too. Suddenly, a summer fling seems like a very tempting—but bad—idea.
The problem? I’m still healing. And Mason is grieving. Neither of us is ready to let someone in through the cracks in our hearts. Besides, I never planned to stay in this town forever.
But despite my war with Mason, Orchard Cove is starting to feel like home. And maybe—just maybe—Mason Grant is so much more than my enemy.

Flynn Morley has spent his life getting by with as little as possible. No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a “muse” for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would.
Then he meets June.
June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life.
As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she’s carrying secrets of her own.
When June’s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he’s always sworn he’d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can’t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home.
Have you ever wondered about the monster under your bed?
LIBRA
Sleep is a curse that refuses to release me from its tight grasp. Every night, I am held hostage by sleep paralysis, unable to escape the demon that haunts my dreams. I thought it was just a figment of my imagination, a shadowy figure under my bed. But as I confront it, I realize it is much more than that. It’s real—he is real.
AXELLE
Trapped in a never-ending cycle, I am bound by chains to an endless stream of human souls. Each one a mere pawn in my eternal game of torment until their time runs out, and I am shackled to the next. But she was different. For years, I have been fixated on her, deriving twisted entertainment from her mundane existence, until one night, my dark desires took over and I crossed a line. Now, she is about to discover who, or rather what, I really am.
The portal seals have begun to fracture, poisoning the magic of their world, and endangering those dependent upon it. Time is running out for Sabine and her companions to find the last artifact.
A cryptic clue found in the underworld is their only lead. But the magical race entrusted with the relic’s safekeeping was annihilated by the dragons centuries earlier.
Determined to find any trace of the mysterious artifact, Sabine agrees to face down the dragons in their own den.
The secret is out: I’m the prophesied scourge, and according to the Legacy Council, my quintet and I must be hunted down and destroyed immediately.
With the size of the bounty they’ve put on our heads, there’s no telling who we can trust. Going on the run feels cowardly, but it’s necessary. We need time to regroup so I can move on to the next step of my plan to free the humans trapped in the Nether.
We also have to figure out how I’m being mysteriously bound to each of my matches. It should be impossible, yet the more we bond against all odds, the more powerful I feel.
Getting closer to them feels so good. No matter what my inevitable fate holds, they make it worth it.
But all this newfound power from bonding is doing something to the shadow heart in my chest—strengthening my link to the Entity and putting my quintet in even more danger.
And not the fun kind.
Amid this two-way game of cat and mouse with immortal monsters and navigating the intricacies of bonding with my quintet, an unexpected secret is emerging from the dark shadows of my past. Something I wasn’t prepared for.
Alex Bain didn’t fall into Hell—she was taken, and someone’s going to pay.
Trapped in a realm of nightmares after Lucas’s devastating sacrifice, Alex has two priorities: keep Sarah and Argo alive, and carve a bloody path back home. But Hell isn’t just fire and brimstone—it’s a world of ruthless politics, twisted bargains, and creatures older than sin itself. And at the center of it all? A dangerously seductive demon who wants to make Alex his queen.
With Finn tearing through anything in his way to bring her back and Lucifer’s prophecy tightening around her throat, Alex is running out of time. If she doesn’t find a way out soon, Finn might cross a line that can never be uncrossed—or she might not want to leave at all.
Am I broken beyond repair, or can the two men who want me, flaws and all, help me love myself enough to give us a chance at a happily ever after?
Barely escaping my abusive ex, I find refuge in a sliver of Alaskan paradise in the tiny town of Anchor Bay. A great job, a cute cabin situated inside the poly community, and new friends — things are great, except for him.
Langston Allen. Jerk extraordinaire, never lets me have a moment’s peace and, for some reason, hates me. Tatted, grumpy and with a stalking fetish, the man pushes me at every turn, but the underlying heated tension between us confuses me as much as it does him.
Good thing he comes with his best friend with benefits, West O’Donnell. Not only is he sexy, sweet, and kind, but the man has dimples that make me melt with every shy smile flashed my way.
Still putting together the pieces of my shattered self, getting involved with the two men is a terrible decision, but the pull between us becomes too much for any of us to withstand. When my past and present collide, can I withstand the impact, or will I disappear again, this time for good?
Only Theirs is the third book in the Anchor Bay series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone (each book will have an HEA for the main throuple), however the mystery/case discussed in book one will continue through the full series and will conclude in book 5. Please note this book does include two males who are into each other and one female who doesn’t have to choose between them.
Sometimes all it takes is one spark, one touch, one brave leap—to turn a slow burn summer into forever…
Bronwyn
All I needed was a fresh start.
A quiet, peaceful place to open my dream bookstore. Space to just…breathe.
Carolina Cove was perfect for that.
Falling (literally) into the fire chief’s arms? Not part of my plan. Because the truth is, I don’t know if I’m even capable of love anymore.
Or if I deserve it…
Gabriel
Love, for me, has always meant heartbreak and loss. So, duty became my refuge, the firehouse my home.
Until her.
Bronwyn shined a light into all the dark corners of my life, making me want things I swore I’d never have again.
Hope.
Forever.
Her.
But I built the walls around my heart for a reason. Letting her break them down is a risk I’m just not sure I can afford to take…

🥵mutual yearning & pining
I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.
Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but I’ve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.
He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and he’s there. I need a ride, and he’s there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and he’s there with a sizzling kiss.
The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness
But secrets like mine don’t stay buried in small towns. If I don’t want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.
What begins as a vendetta fueled by hate turns into a love affair that threatens to consume both of them. Secrets, hidden identities, past trauma, and a cruel twist of fate force them to realize that the line between revenge and desire is dangerously thin. After all, all’s fair in love and chaos.
Camden
As the President of Hell’s Heathens Motorcycle Club, my only focus is my brothers. They’re all I have left, and the only things that matter. Everything I do is to keep them safe. Until my entire world shifts on its axis when a fiery vixen dressed in leather steps off her motorcycle and runs her mouth without a fear in the world. I know I’ve found her, my queen.
But when she tries to kidnap me, and somehow knows my full legal name, I know I’ve got more to figure out than how to get her to fall in love with me. With threats coming from every angle, I can’t afford the distraction, especially one as strong and fierce as Saige Russo.
I’ll do anything to keep her, even if it means holding her captive until she realizes we’re meant to be together, despite all the reasons we shouldn’t.
Saige
Ten years ago, my family was brutally taken from me because of the actions of vicious criminals who live above the law. I’ve made it my life’s purpose to bring those men to their knees, with my eyes focused on the man responsible for their deaths. Camden Young.
Was becoming his prisoner part of my plan? Not even in the realm of possibilities. But one look at him on that bike, and the earth shook under me. For the first time in my life, I stumbled, and it could cost me everything.
Now, I find myself locked in the Hell’s Heathens’ clubhouse, trying to conceal my identity. Torn between completing my goal to avenge my family and coming to terms with the fact that not everything is as it seems.
