It was supposed to be just a weekend away from the city, away from the chaos, away from every one of my worries. Yet, here I was, running through the woods and getting chased by someone in a mask.
It was time for The Hunt, and if I wasn’t fast enough, I was gonna get caught.
Ellis Renwick and I are barely more than acquaintances—connected only by mutual friends and the endorsement deal I signed with her company. Her baby isn’t mine, and minding my own business should be easy.
But when the baby’s father walks away, I step up. Raised by a single mom, I know the weight Ellis is about to carry, and there is no way I’m letting her do it alone. But somewhere between midnight cravings, stolen kisses, and tiny heartbeats, the woman behind my endorsement deal becomes my whole world. Now I’m falling hopelessly in love with a future that was never meant to be mine.
When her father discovers I’m not the biological dad, he wants to expose the ex publicly, threatening to shatter the quiet haven Ellis and I have built. He wants justice from a ghost. But they’ve become mine to protect.
What her dad doesn’t understand is that her ex walked away …
With the city of Dust now little more than a dedicated memory and the Midnight Guard threatening to destroy the world in its entirety, Raven and her unhappy commune of Fae and Infernal survivors try to survive.
While hunting the tainted remnants of the old city for hidden artifacts that might help them in their fight against the Guard, Raven discovers a curious statue they come to know as the Martyr.
But of course, life for Raven is never that simple.
Enter a veritable sh**tstorm of troubles that quickly spiral out of control, forcing Raven and Mia into an assassination attempt, signaling the end of the Hallowed World, and somehow placing her face to face with her father for a brief, confusing moment.
Save the world, defeat the most powerful organization in the cosmos, and keep the infernal sovereign insider her head from cracking her mind.

BLURB
If love and hate are flipsides of the same coin, pursuing the argumentative woman I simultaneously want to smother and devour can’t end badly, right?
Shay Gallagher is smart and sexy and has enough snappy comebacks to fill Aspen valley. She’s the exact opposite of my late wife. Definitely not the woman I’ve pictured in my future, helping raise my son.
Good thing this is only a vacation fling.
Or, more accurately, a hate-fueled shag-a-thon in Aspen’s snow-covered trees, on the chairlift, even a few choice bathrooms.
We’ve agreed our explosive hookups end when we return home to the opposite sides of Canada. Nothing good can come from this much combustible magnetism.
So why do I text her that I’ll be spending the summer in Toronto on a business trip? Why do I chase her to go out with me again, like I’m in some kind of Wooing Olympics? I even use my son to win her over.
There’s just something about Shay. Her ease with Jackson, the laughs and banter we share. Trouble is, we still live a country apart, and Shay has declared she doesn’t want to get snowballed into another man’s life by upending her own.
Surely two people this shockingly good together can still conquer these mounting odds…

There are worse things than being stuck alone in a cabin with a hot as sin firefighter who’s good with his hands. A lot worse . . .This should be fun.
Agreeing to help Brandon Culver recover from his injury seemed harmless enough.
Sure, he’s a firefighter and Mountain Laurel Cove’s most eligible bachelor. But I’m too busy focusing on my nursing career to be distracted by a handsome face.
Unfortunately, Brandon is a lot more than a great face.
He’s steady. Dependable. He’s the kind of man who remembers the little things and shows up when it matters. His easy confidence is comforting. His quiet strength makes me feel safe. And the way he looks at me makes me question everything I thought I wanted.
But I’m in his home to care for him, not fall for him.
One tiny slip could ruin all the plans I’ve meticulously made for my life. Romance is a fool’s game and if I’m anything, I’m level-headed. Until his heated gaze and lingering touch threaten to turn the electricity between us into a five-alarm fire.
If I’m not careful, I might be the one getting burned.
🍂Review🍂 Brandon is a firefighter who finds himself in the hospital with a shoulder injury and a concussion because of a fire he was fighting. He is drawn to Fall, one of his nurses, however he is confused why his best friend and mother know her while he doesn’t until he realizes he has selective amnesia. When she is hired to provide his aftercare until he can be self-sufficient it will force them to face the past he doesn’t remember.
Fall and Brandon have a past even if it was fleeting and didn’t end well. Looking after him while he was in the hospital was one thing but due to a conflict at work, she agrees to be his personal nurse. Spending time with him and getting to know the caring man he allows her to take a different view of the past and the mistakes that were made.
The romance between them is touching and the banter between them will put a smile on your face as Brandon and Fall heal from the past and finally get the second chance and life they were always destined to have. Jason Clarke’s portrayal of Brandon was the perfect match while Vanessa Edwin allows you to feel the growth of Fall’s character.

AJ is a cynical but hopeless romantic that believes in love at first sight, bigger is always better, and everything should be put off for a nap.
One night with a beautiful stranger is supposed to be exactly what I need to forget that my NFL career is hanging on by a thread. No last names, no strings, no expectations. Just two people having a little fun before going their separate ways.
At least, that’s the plan.
Problem number one. I definitely want more. Problem number two. She disappears before the sun. Problem number three. I can’t stop thinking about her.
Surely the universe is done with me now. The universe: Bet. Because the woman of my dreams is my coach’s daughter, who I absolutely can’t have.
Pretending our night together never happened is probably the smartest thing either of us could do, but I’ve never been good at walking away from something I want.
Her gaze dropped to my mouth for a second, then lifted again as a flush crept up her neck.
“Are you always this mouthy when you’re nervous?”
Her gaze flicked to mine. “Only when I don’t trust myself.”
Well, that made two of us.
I stepped closer, stopping short of touching her, but the air between us changed anyway. She swallowed and shifted her weight, but didn’t move away.
“Should I be flattered or worried?” I asked.
Her mouth curved. “Depends. Do you usually make women this jumpy?”
“Only those thinking about breaking the rules.”
“I’m not breaking any rules.”
“No?” I lowered my voice. “Do you know the only rule here, my little temptation?”
She swallowed before answering, “Ask before you touch.”
“And may I touch you?”
Her lips parted.
I waited, giving her the chance to come to her senses, to say no, to remember who I was supposed to be in her life. I needed her to take that opening because I was already too close to not taking it myself.
But she didn’t say no. She nodded, and that was all I needed.
I brushed the backs of my fingers along her arm, starting at her shoulder and trailing down to her wrist.
She shivered.
“You can tell me to stop.”
“I know.”
“You can walk away.”
“I won’t.”
“Blair,” I groaned.
“What?”
“If we go upstairs, I’m not Uncle Dane.”
Her breath caught, but she didn’t move away as her eyes dipped to my mouth before returning to mine.
“Good,” she whispered. “Because I didn’t come here looking for him.”
Everyone knows falling for your best friend’s brother is a disaster waiting to happen…
