Those are three things that have defined my name – Ryker Winchester. It’s what I’m good at. I always get exactly what I want.
I was completely unprepared for Heather.
She challenges me. She melts under my touch. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. She’s a feisty single mom, and I can’t get enough of her. The way she gives in to me is intoxicating, but I need more than hot nights and sexy dates.When she introduces me to her daughter, something shifts inside me. No one has ever played me for a fool like that kid can do with a single dimpled grin.
I want to keep them both.
Mine to love.
Mine to protect.
Heather doesn’t trust easily, but I’ll prove to her that we’ll have an incredible future together.
I’m Ryker Winchester and I’m relentless when I go after what I want.
Ryker is very successful in his demanding career with investments, but his softer side emerges when he plays the guitar. During one of his performances Ryker intervened in an altercation between Heather and her soon to be ex-boyfriend when he tells her the plans they made to move in together are no longer happening and she is left renting a home that will cause a financial strain on her and her daughter.
Heather is still feeling the betrayal of finding out that her ex isn’t the man she thought he was, but she is more concerned about her seven year old daughter Avery. She appreciates Ryker stepping in so she arranged to see him again to thank him and apologize she thought it would be the end, but Ryker is determined that it will be their beginning.
Ryker knows that Heather has been hurt in the past and is willing to be patient and show her that he is a man she can trust with both her and Avery’s heart while Heather tries to resist but seeing how he is with her daughter he starts to break down her walls. This is a sweet and sexy story about love and family and although they had their obstacles there is no doubt they are meant to be together.

NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan returns
to her bestselling Dante’s Circle series with a collection of four never before
published and highly anticipated romances.
FALLEN FOR ALPHAS
Liam and Alec watched their Pack fall from
grace and fought with tooth and claw to make it rise from the ashes again for
the Alpha. Once from rival families and now true packmates, they’ve fought
their attraction for longer than they should have. Now, as they leave the den
in search of a rogue wolf, they’ll finally have a chance to entice their
wolves—if they can overcome their struggles and survive what lurks in the
darkness.
AT LAST SIGHT
Jonah assumed he’d seen everything there was
to see throughout his long life. He battled dragons, lions, and anything else
that came across his path. Now, it’s his job to protect the cubs under his
care—something far more dangerous than anyone ever counted on. But when he
comes to face to face with Dante’s sexy new bartender, everything changes. From
his first look into those silver eyes, he was lost. But they’re eyes that can
kill if the world isn’t careful, and some want them for their own.
BLOOD’S FIRST KISS
Calypso’s position as a representative on the
Conclave for all mermaids is in jeopardy if she can’t uncover the true lineage
of a mysterious stranger. Especially since his mere presence seems to rock the
already shaky foundation of their people.
Micha knows exactly what he is: the one
supernatural being that everyone claims cannot exist. And he’s been searching
eons for his mate. Now that he’s found her, all bets are off. But he must keep
his past a secret, no matter the consequences.
REAPER’S SONG
He remembers his death. Even remembers parts
of his life. But as a newly made reaper, he must do the one thing he knows he
cannot: reap his soul mate. No matter that she can see death coming.

Sometimes life has a way of picking you up and putting you exactly where you need to be at the right time. Is it destiny? I don’t think so. Is it life giving you a fork in the road and giving you the choice of which road to take? That would be my guess. I had a choice to either walk away from this broken woman that has found her way into my heart or fight for her. I knew the baggage that she was carrying was weighing her down and it might just take us both under. I decided to do both, anything worth having is worth a good fight.
All my life I have always done the things that I was taught were right. I love my family. I served my country. I live for the Rebellions 4 Blood MC and I would give my life for them. I know that if I claim this woman that my life will change. There has never been a woman that I can’t walk away from, but my need for this woman is beyond anything I have ever experienced before. Her life is complicated, and she is falling apart fast. I just hope I can show her the Beauty From The Ashes Of Destruction.
I have always been an avid reader that loves just about any kind of book. Love my family, my state, and my country.
Blurb: Three things my mother acquired when she became engaged:
1. A brand new Tiffany’s ring. 2. A lavish home on Heartbreak Hill. 3. Three privileged stepsons.
The last thing I expected was to fall for one of them, least of all Thayer Ames. Beautiful, brooding, and untouchable. I knew it was a bad idea. He warned me himself. But he was a thunderstorm, and I never could resist the rain. It was perfect… Until it wasn’t. One night was all it took for our world to crumble around us, leaving only secrets and lies between us. Now, I have to face him again, and the boy I used to know has become the man who loves to hate me.

Becky
Coop has always been a mystery, but he was my mystery. Now, though, I can’t take any more. I want him, but I want all of him. If he can’t let me in, I can’t stick around. I need the whole man, not just the pieces he’s willing to give me. But even if I get him, can I hold onto him? He’s the one thing I want most in this world, but I have a feeling that things aren’t going to go my way.
“Because she’s breaking the fucking rules, and one of these times, it’s not going to turn out so well for her.”
Storm shoved his gun in his holster and then strapped on his knife. Tacocheese was putting on his vest. “I’m still not seeing what you hope to accomplish,” Storm grumbled.
“Hey, Thunders, when you have kids, you’ll understand.”
“Kids? Ha, never gonna happen. Troublemakers, all of them.”
“Exactly. The plan is, we’ll surround the house and then storm in, scaring the shit out of Kayla and whoever she’s with.”
“You want us to storm someone’s house?” Tacoman shook his head. “Not happening. You’re gonna get us all arrested.”
“We have Sean on speed dial. It’ll be fine.”
“No, I’m pretty sure we’re all gonna end up in jail.”
I glared at Tachocheese. “Are you a man or a pussy?”
“A man?”
“If this was your kid, sneaking out of the house at all hours, showing up at someone else’s house, someone you have no fucking clue about, wouldn’t you do anything you could to make sure that she thought twice about ever doing something so stupid again?”
“I don’t know. I think I’d let it play out and see what she’s up to.”
“And that’s the difference between us. I’m not leaving my kid in a potentially dangerous situation that could get her killed. What if she’s with a rapist right now and doesn’t even know it? They hide in plain sight, hunting the weak.”
“But Kayla’s not weak,” Storm pointed out.
“Doesn’t matter. She’s inexperienced. Anyone can see that and they will use it against her.”
“I still think this is fucking ridiculous,” he grumbled as he strapped on the last of his gear.
“Rob, come in,” I said over coms.
“I read you loud and clear.”
“Send me the address. We’re heading out.”
“Copy that.”
We headed for the SUV and climbed in. I was driving because I was pissed and needed control over something right now. It was a short drive into town. I parked a block away from the address and hurried down the street, sticking to the shadows.
“Alright, Storm, you head for the back door. Tacocheese, you’ve got the garage door. I’ll take the front. I want all the information we can before we enter. If you see the target in trouble, we move in right away.”
“Just for the record, I don’t think Kayla would like being called a target,” Storm said. I slapped him upside the head, ignoring his scowl.
“Let’s move out.”
I made my way through the bushes to the front door, peeking inside the windows as I went. I was just about to get in position when I saw her move through the house, laughing at some asshole that was trying to grab at her. I saw red.
“Target acquired. Everyone in position.”
I tested the front door, checking to see if it was locked. It was. At least I knew she was trying to remain safe indoors.
“Copy that,” Storm said. “Ready to storm this nice suburban house.”
“Yeah,” Tacocheese grumbled. “I’m ready for jail.”
“Move out.”
I kicked at the door twice and then gave a final boot to the door and watched it swing wide open, banging against the wall. I saw the look of shock on Kayla’s face as I moved into the living room and cleared the area. The asshole moved in front of her, trying to protect her. Wrong fucking move.
“Down on your knees,” I shouted, pointing my gun at him. I knew that Tony Tacos and Storm were clearing the rest of the house, so I kept my gun trained on this asshole. He slowly moved to his knees, but my girl stood tall, refusing to get down. Obviously, she knew who I was. She would recognize the gear anywhere.
“Kayla, baby, get down. Just do as he says.”
“No,” she said defiantly.
I walked forward slowly and placed my boot right over the fucker’s fingers, slowly lowering the weight of my body on top of his hand. He screamed in agony, but I remained staring at Kayla.
“Still want to stay standing?” I asked her.
“You’re being an asshole,” she shouted.
“An asshole,” I repeated, lifting my boot just enough to kick the fucker in the side. He tipped over, holding his side and gasping for air. Kayla stared at me incredulously.
“What are you doing? You’re gonna get thrown in jail!”
“Kayla,” the fucker whimpered. “Just do as he says.”
I waited for her to listen, but my defiant little girl just wouldn’t do it. I quickly snatched him off the floor and held him against my body, my arm wrapped around his throat. Tony Tacos and Storm entered the room, both with wide eyes.
“Oh shit,” Tacos grumbled. “We’re so going to jail.”
“Should I call Cap?” Storm asked.
“He would do the same fucking thing if it was Caitlin,” Tony answered.
“Just…don’t kill him,” Storm said, narrowing his eyes at me.
I grinned maniacally. “I’ll take that into consideration.” I turned to the kid, whispering in his ear. “Have you ever felt the sting of a really sharp blade against your neck?” He shook his head wildly. “That’s a shame. It’s really a very…exciting feeling. Let me show you.”
I pulled out my knife and slid it ever so slowly against his neck, not actually putting him in any danger. I was quite good with a knife and there was no chance that I would accidentally nick him.
“Doesn’t it make you feel alive?”
He shook his head slightly.
“Dad, would you stop fucking with him?” Kayla said in exasperation.
“Dad? This is your dad?” the fucker shouted.
“Nice to meet you. You can call me Mr. Cooper.”
Author Bio:
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
Coop is a member of Reed Security and he hasn’t healed from the physical and emotional scars of his past. He is struggling with both the women in his life as his daughter wants her independence while he is determined to keep her safe and his girlfriend Becca is no longer content with a physical only relationship.
Becky met Coop when she worked at Reed Security but was finding it difficult being around him but not truly being with him. She wants more from him and even though the separation is painful she knows that they can’t just go on the way they are.
This story is the complete package as the humor will have you laughing out loud, the emotional will touch your heart, the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat and the characters draw you in. This is a great series and this book is no exception.

That awkward moment when an ER doctor has to inform you that you’re pregnant…with his baby. Download Now
🩺🩺🩺
That awkward moment when an ER doctor has to inform you that you’re pregnant…with his baby.
Three things Lynsey Jones knows about the hot doctor: he’s grouchy, an arrogant jerk, and strangely obsessed with pie.
Three things Dr. Josh Richardson knows: he doesn’t talk about his past, he doesn’t do relationships, and the crazy girl in the hospital cafeteria who ate a fistful of French silk pie…is annoyingly irresistible.
After a chance meetup at a bar and a heated cab ride together, things come to a head and now instead of hating each other, they’re horizontal in a bed.
Three months later, the weird cafeteria stalker who crept out of Josh’s house like a thief in the night, winds up as his patient in the ER after her Tinder date from hell.
The doctor is prepared to keep it cool and professional. That is until her bloodwork reveals she’s pregnant.
What really throws him for a loop…is the surprise baby…is his.
🩺🩺🩺
What happens when the seriously hot and growly ER doctor who kicked you out of a hospital cafeteria turns into an epic one-night-stand? Well, for starters, a surprise pregnancy. Dr. Josh Richardson never wanted a family, but Lynsey’s about to give him one. And if they have any hope of co-parenting, they need to learn how to co-habituate…and try not to kill or kiss each other in the process.
💙Review💙
Lynsey is focused on finishing her thesis so she can start the next stage of her life and she finds that she is most productive when she is writing at the hospital cafeteria. Not only isn’t she hurting anyone, but she loves the chocolate pie there so why does one of the doctor’s glare at her every time he sees her?
Josh doesn’t know why this woman is always in the cafeteria but the fact that she keeps eating the pie he wants has to stop. He may not have handled it the best way, but he wasn’t expecting her temper and that he would now have the pie he wanted however not to consume but to wear.
The next time they meet a shared ride home turns into a steamy evening with no expectations until fate brings them together once more when she ends up in his ER and they are both surprised to find out that a baby is in their future.
There is a lot more to Josh than the condescending and abrasive jerk he exhibits while Lynsey just takes whatever life throw at her. These two are meant to be together but first they need to get out of their own way. Their story is filled with humor and heat, but it is the emotional part of the story that will take you by surprise.
