Standing at the top of the DeAngelis empire isn’t as glamorous as it sounds.
Sure, it comes with the kind of power one could only ever dream of, and having three men to lavish me with undeniable pleasure is the greatest perk of all. But where there’s power, there’s pain, and many rivals have died at my feet while learning that lesson.
But this time it’s different. This time, they’ve crossed a line.
When an enemy comes for my power, they lose their life.
But when an enemy touches what’s mine, they better fucking run.

I haven’t seen the Irish mob boss since I offered him my V-card and he turned me down. Now he wants every piece of me because he’s my fake husband.
Riordan: She disappeared seventeen years ago after I ki!!ed her attackers. Her absence left me a devastated wreck. Now the fragile girl from my past is at my feet, bleeding out with a bullet meant for me.
My world just narrowed to one singular focus. Never let Priscilla out of my sight again. Only, I’m out of my depth.
She’s not the young broken girl anymore.
She’s tough, mouthy AF, and loves challenging me.
By dressing like a Bratva slut, even though every inch she exposes makes me lose my mind.
Despite how she surrenders to me in my bed every night, she’s laser-focused on revenge.
And the only way to keep her safe is to marry me.
She thinks I’m faking every kiss, every touch, and every hiss of her name from my lips. They’re coming for her, our common enemies, but I’m ready to go to war.
I lost her once. I will not lose her again.
🎧Review🎧 Riordan is the underboss in his Irish mafia family who has a meeting with the Russian Bratva. The evening did not end well when an attempt on his life was thwarted by the submissive of the man he has come to meet. When he realizes that she is a woman from his past he will do whatever he can to protect her including marriage.
Priscilla is determined to get revenge for what she experienced as a teenager and isn’t about to let anyone stand in her way including Riordan and the past she shared. Despite everything that happened he was her first and only love but now they not only have the past to overcome but the danger in the present as well.
Both Riordan and Priscilla are torn between their love for each other and doing what they believe is right. The chemistry between them is combustible but they also have an emotional connection which is put to the test as they try to find a way to be together. Through the performance of the narrators you could feel the love they shared, the heat between them and the suspenseful situation they found themselves in.

Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say.
However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money.
I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life.
Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters. He loves his siblings. He works hard. He owns an honest business. Honest, the emphasis here. He also suffers from damsel-in-distress syndrome with a savior complex for lost causes, like stray animals and down-and-out women.
And I have a secret crush on him.
When I see Clay stranded on the side of the road one dark, stormy night, I stop to offer assistance. Burning with fever, Clay is sick, and my mom-instincts kick in to give him comfort. That decision throws me off course again. While my past lurks everywhere, I find myself falling in love with Sterling Falls once more and falling harder for the man giving my son and me a safe haven.
Love is a risk, according to Clay, but he’s slowly rescuing my heart while I’m saving his.
After the way her last relationship ended Mavis escaped to Florida with her son Dutton for a while, but she has recently returned to close this chapter of her life. When she comes to Clay’s rescue, she finds herself staying with him and not only is he patient and understanding with her but her son as well.
Clay knows that Mavis and Dutton are still feeling the aftereffects of what they have endured and even though he knows he will make mistakes he tries to show them that not only can they trust him to protect them but that he will always be there for her.
Even though their reasons were different both Clay and Mavis were cautious about love due to their past. They just fit together like they were always meant to be, and his siblings were there for all of them when the intrigue part of the story amped up. I enjoyed the cadence by the narrators as they ensured that listening to the story was a pleasurable experience.

Some of her favorite authors are Sophia Kinsella, Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, Mary Higgins Clark, Meghan Quinn, Daphne Elliott, Amy Alves, Claire Kingsley, Melanie Harlow, Christina Lauren, Sally Thorne and Sarah Adams. (Clearly, she has a problem and can’t pick favorites.)
Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud and the love of my life.
She’s also my ex-girlfriend.
The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. But third time’s a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials–there she was again.
Obviously, I did what any smart man would do–I called off the wedding.
I don’t have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I’ve ever loved.
As a future hall of famer and one of the best centers hockey has ever seen, I know a thing or two about winning, but convincing Lennox Kennedy to give this hockey boy another chance might just be the challenge of a lifetime and this game I’m playing may turn out to be nothing but a pucking disaster.
🏒Review🏒 Aiden is a professional hockey player, is close to his family and appears that he doesn’t have a care in the world however appearances can be deceiving. He may be having doubts about his engagement, but they are confirmed when he finds out Lennox, his first love. is to be their wedding planner and he realizes that the only woman he wants to marry is her.
Lennox is not only feisty but fun. When she finds out her new client is also her first love, she never expected that he would end his engagement. The surprises don’t end there as he not only wants to know what tore them apart but wants a second chance as well and is willing to pretend they are engaged to ensure that happens.
This story has it all from the humorous banter to the subjects the story handles. The characters are relatable and the connection between is as they haven’t been apart for a decade, and it was great to catch up with the rest of the family as well.

JD and I were opposites in every way. I was the girl from the wrong side of town, the one from a broken home who had a chip on her shoulder and everything to prove. The girl living a life full of too many struggles and too many dreams just out of reach.
JD was the charismatic golden boy, a rising football star with the world at his feet and a charm that melted my defenses. I fell hard for his denim blue eyes, twin dimples, and promises of forever. But like most young love, it was a beautiful fiction.
I once told JD that everyone leaves. He swore that he never would. He lied.
Five years have passed since I last saw him. Five years I’ve spent painstakingly stitching together the broken pieces of my shattered heart and building a new life without him. And the moment I’m finally able to move on… JD comes back. He says he came back for me. Unfortunately, all the secrets that made him walk away five years ago came back with him. Secrets that could destroy everything.
My head says to run, but my heart? It’s in deep trouble when it comes to JD Hallstead.
That Girl is a second chance, small town, sports romance. Recommended for mature readers. Please check Reader’s Note in the front matter of the book for potential TWs. Recently updated with new discreet cover.
💜Review💜 The home life that Aurora lived as a teenager is something that no one should have to endure but not only was Cam her best friend, but he was her protector as well. His tragic death left a huge whole in her life, and she had never felt more alone until JD brings her into his life. She thought she had found her soul mate until she learns that promises are meant to be broken, and her trust is misplaced.
JD has always appeared to live a life that others would envy as he transitioned from playing high school football into a professional career. He has loved Aurora for years but first it was loyalty to his best friend keeping them apart and then a surprise he didn’t see coming. After no explanation or further contact he has returned home after five years wanting a second chance with Aurora but the secret, he has been keeping is about to turn her life upside down.
Everything that Aurora has been through only shows how resilient she is while JD had choices to make that would break both their hearts. So much emotion and angst as JD tries to fight for the future he has always wanted with Aurora.
I’ve always been the feisty sidekick who’s up for anything. I don’t need to be the main attraction. I’m fine being the fun girl who always has a hot take on a good time.
For instance, the night I sneak into the Chicago Racketeers New Year’s Eve Party, I find myself trapped in an elevator with a gorgeous grump of a hockey player, before we’re rescued by a sexy fireman who catches Mr. Hockey’s hand in my . . . shapewear.
Talk about hot.
But the temperature only rises from there.
Turns out, the grouchy goalie needs a fake fiancée to earn his inheritance. I’m not real girlfriend material (my ex was clear about that), but I agree to help him out with the temporary farce.
Then I run into my ex-boss—the one I shared a steamy kiss with just before I quit. I’d forgotten how devastatingly dirty and charming the British golden retriever billionaire can be. And that cinnamon roll firefighter? He wants me too.
Did I mention he and my billionaire are also into each other?
Each of them makes me feel desired and adored, but when it’s all four of us together we’re absolutely on fire.
Good thing this is only until the inheritance is finalized and my billionaire goes back to London. This could never last for long without someone getting burned.
You’ve met both Elise and Racketeers goalie, Blake Wilder in previous books, and now it’s their turn to heat things up (with two other sexy, charming heroes, of course!) If you like your romance with extra spice and lots of laughs, then Why Choose with Emma Foxx!
Emma Foxx is the super fun and sexy pen name for two long-time, bestselling romance authors who decided why have just one hero when you can have three at the same time? (they’re not sure what took them so long to figure this out)! Emma writes contemporary romances that will make you laugh (yes, maybe out loud in public) and want more…books (sure, that’s what we mean 😉). Find Emma on Instagram, Tik Tok, and Goodreads.
This series just continues to get better, and we now get the opportunity to see Elise find the relationship and men that fulfill her. She hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to romance however an elevator misfunction with Blake, a sexy hockey player, might just change everything.
What started as a man famine turns into a man feast as not only does she find herself about to enter in a marriage of convenience with Blake, but we also have Aiden, one of the firemen who rescued her and Blake, and last but not least Simon her previous boss with the charming accent.
Humor and heat as not only do the sparks fly between Elise and her three men but the attraction between Aiden and Simon is also off the charts as they show that four is the perfect number when it comes to a relationship between them.
Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil.
If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on.
When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.
Then he’ll walk away, and I can walk down the aisle with my fiancé. Or I can say no and watch everything I’ve worked so hard for fall apart.
There’s only one answer I can afford to give him. But he knows everything about me—every hurt, every secret, and every single weakness I have, including him.
And while Ramsey might want me, his brothers want him back in the family business.
If there’s one universal truth in this town, it’s that Stockton men stop at nothing to get what they want.
✨TEASER: SOMEONE YOU DESERVE by @harlowjamesauthor is coming October 4th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow & Vanessa Edwin!
Rule number one of bro-code: exes, sisters—and of course, wives—are off-limits.
Don’t think about them and sure as hell don’t kiss them.
But what if your best friend dies, and suddenly you want the woman who has always been his?
Four years ago my childhood friend lost his life serving our country, and Astrid and her kids became my responsibility.
But before I knew it, something started to shift between us.
Her smile started to make my stomach twist. Our conversations gave me something to look forward to. And working with her made me appreciate just how strong she truly was.
But then one night, I did the one thing I shouldn’t have but couldn’t fight any longer—I kissed her.
She pushed me away, told me it was a mistake, and begged me to forget it ever happened.
And then she shoved me deep and fully into the friendzone, where I’ve resided since then.
Until one instance changes everything and I know for certain she’s the woman I want.
Just when I think we’re on the same page, a secret from our past threatens to destroy our future.
I shouldn’t want my best friend’s widow. I shouldn’t care what other people think.
But in the end, the only thing that matters is being someone Astrid deserves, and I’ll stop at nothing until she believes that too.
Where love melts the ice and dreams come to fruition. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.
Brooklynn Greene has it all—a successful salon, a close-knit group of girlfriends, and a life she loves. But there’s one thing she can’t seem to get out of her mind–her irresistibly charming neighbor.
She can’t have him. He’s a dream. No, he’s the dream.
Her neighbor is off-limits. At least, that’s the way that she sees it, and she’s tried to keep him at arm’s length. But he needs her help. And it wouldn’t be neighborly to deny him.
Even if it means playing his fake girlfriend.
Forrest Westwood doesn’t worry. He lives his life the way that he wants, knowing that money is no object. The day he turns twenty-five, his trust fund is his. Life is going to be a comfortable one once his checks start coming in.
He plays by his own rules. She’s everywhere. Across the street, in the stands, and his dreams.
Life has a way of becoming complicated. The confident and independent woman is right in front of him. But can a fake relationship between them stay that way, or will the lines between pretend and reality blur as they play the most dangerous game of all—falling in love?
Hey there! I’m Hayley James. I’m an established romance author who has decided to have some fun writing in a different genre! I hope that you’ll come along with me for this new adventure. I know it’s going to be a sweet, sexy, fun ride… that is, between the pages, at least!
Born in a small farming community, I spent my childhood dreaming up wild stories while playing with my Barbie dolls.
I started my publishing journey in 2015, and I have not stopped. I’ve self-published over ninety books and have several series translated into foreign languages. I am so excited to bring this new-to-me-genre to life!
When I’m not writing, I spend my days being a professional chauffeur for my teenage sons and all of their activities which include robotics, golf, swimming, and music lessons, to name a few!
So, please sit back, relax, and enjoy the possessive alpha male ride!

Did something we shouldn’t have.

We need to find out what’s beneath the surface…before it’s too late.

She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.
Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.
But my husband?
No thanks.
Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.
But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.
Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.
The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it’s starting to feel.
Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I’m planning, he’ll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?
