Marriage or war?
Pain or Pleasure?
Murder or love?

If he wants my hand in marriage, then hell have to fight me for it.

Lies and secrets surround us while inside the cult’s compound, forcing us together and blurring the boundaries of our fake marriage. Past feelings are rekindled, making our time alone burn hotter than ever. When the truth comes to light and the depravity of the leader is exposed, can we both make it out alive or will he leave me again, this time for good?
Mine to Shield is a standalone, dual point of view, forced proximity, dark romantic suspense. Each book in the Protection Series can be read as a standalone, but because of character crossover, they are best read in order. Please note this book is for mature readers due to detailed sexual content, foul language, violence, and discussion of abuse.
πReviewπ Millie is a professor who is known in her field due to in depth knowledge of cults and shares her knowledge with the FBI. When they approach her about a person who is missing, she doesnβt hesitate to assist but she never expected that it would bring her first and only love who disappeared a decade ago back into her life.
Killian is an FBI agent who may not have been able to be with Millie but that doesnβt mean that he has been out of her life. When they are asked to work a case together it was as if they were never apart however, they find themselves not only dealing with the dangerous undercover assignment but what drove them apart and has been keeping them apart.
Millie and Killian are exactly what the other needs in their life and it is finally their time. They take us on a romantic and suspenseful adventure filled with surprises that you wonβt be able to put down.

I made a vow to protect her, and I will do whatever it takes to keep that promise, even if it means letting her go and having her take my heart with herβ¦

β¨TEASER: A MAJOR PUCK UP by @authorbrittaneenicole is coming May 31!
Why you need to #ONECLICK this bookβ¦ πBest Friend’s Daughter π₯Single Dad πAge Gap π₯Hockey Romance πRevenge π₯Forbidden πMysterious Baby on a doorstep
There are only a few rules I live by: enjoy life, smile as often as possible, and donβt ever let a woman come between friends.
Oh and hockey is life.
For the past forty years Iβve done an excellent job at every single one of them.
Until Millie Hall.
To be fair, I had no idea who she was that first night. Canβt say the same about the second.
Finding out that the mystery girl who turned my world upside down was the twin sister of my star left winger and my best friendβs twenty-two year old daughter is less than ideal.
Hiding our relationship from not only her father but my brothers, nearly impossible.
But my best friend makes it incredibly difficult to walk away from his daughter when he keeps thrusting her in my direction.
As a single dad, I have a whole set of new rules, but one thing remains, falling for Millie Hall would be a major puck up.
From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasnβt what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
“Mine.”
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more⦠explicit.
I didnβt want to be there. I didnβt want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
Heβs a primitive uncaged animal who claims Iβm his, and heβs hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, heβll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.
And itβll be me who wonβt let him go.

My name is Ellie Troy, and my brother, Arden, would kill me if he knew what I was up to. Iβm not even kidding.
It involves hot hockey player Nils Sten. He plays for the Atlanta Thunder and happens to be my overprotective brotherβs best friend and teammate.
Heβs also my secret crush.
Unfortunately for me, Arden wouldnβt approve of anything happening between me and Nils. Not now, not ever.
Too bad, because Iβm going to make it happenβNils will be mine, maybe for just one night of fun, or maybe for forever.

My name is Nils Sten, and hockey is my life. So much so that I havenβt had a serious girlfriend in ages. Thatβs okay; I find companionship when I need it.
And now it seems Iβm about to have a whole lot of it. Not in any kind of a romantic sense. More in a roommate sort of way. See, my best friend and teammateβs little sister, Ellie, is about to move into my house. Yeah, under my roofβ¦with a bedroom down the hall from mine.
God help me.
Itβs all my fault, really. I opened my big mouth and offered for her to stay. Now I wish I hadnβt. Problem is, Ellie is beyond beautiful. Sheβs smart too. Sheβs really everything Iβve ever wanted.
Too bad sheβs off-limits.
Now I just need to keep reminding myself of thatβ¦
Nils is the third novel in the bestselling Breakaway Hockey series.

I never imagined Iβd be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when heβs a famous football player, and Iβm just a therapist they can easily replace.
The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friendβ¦even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Deanβs helping me fix my grandmaβs old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation.
Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like heβs sparked life into me.
My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans.
But sometimes challenges lead us back to where weβre meant to be.
In the heart of Alabama, lies a charming little town on the river, where everyone knows your name⦠and your business.
Follow the intertwined lives of its beloved residents as they navigate first love, second chances, and all the unexpected surprises that their small-town holds.

π€Reviewπ€ Luca is a successful businessman and a single father with a devastating past who hides part of himself from the world at large. It was this side that brought Scarlett into his life but he knew that one night is all they would have and he would never see her again. That would have been true if it wasnβt for his daughter being threatened and Scarlett was hired to protect her.
There are two very sides to Scarlett once of which is her strong and feisty personality that allows her to be a force when it comes to security and the other side which allows her to give power to her intimate partner. When she accepted this assignment, she didnβt expect the complication of the past she shared with her new employer or that the feelings they shared were far from over.
Even though they try to fight it the chemistry between them is scorching but they have some emotional turmoil to overcome that will have you feeling for everyone involved as they try to find the happiness they all deserve.
