There’s nothing he won’t do to vindicate his brother, to stop the men who so callously allowed one man to destroy his family.
There’s no stopping him.
He was born for this. Born to hunt. Born to kill.
Born to avenge.
He is a Hunter of Gunmen.
Defend. Investigate. Secure.
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.

I never expected to see Willow Anson again—not after the way she left.
No warning. No goodbye. No explanation.
She was the girl who got under my skin.
The one who kissed me like she meant it… and disappeared like none of it mattered. I’ve spent every day since convincing myself it didn’t.
Now she’s back in Rixton, staying at her family’s lodge while her dad recovers from surgery. And thanks to our parents’ surprise wedding, we’re stuck under the same roof.
She’s off-limits. My new stepsister. But the way she looks at me says she remembers everything.
And the tension between us? It’s anything but frozen.
I’ve trained my whole life to handle pressure—on and off the ice. The last thing I need is a distraction in the middle of a season that’s already falling apart.
Games are being thrown. Players are faking injuries. And Willow’s holding on to the photos that could expose everything.
They’re watching. Threatening. Waiting for us to slip.
“What happens in eight weeks?” Cal asks, searching my expression.
My throat tightens, the future pulls at me from every direction. “I’m here now. Isn’t that enough?”
His voice drops lower. “I should tell you it’s not.” He leans in and grazes the chain at my collarbone, tracing it slowly, following the path to the M charm. “But I don’t know how to say no to you.”
I reach for him and brush the hem of his shirt, holding it between my thumb and forefinger.
“You say no to me all the time,” I whisper, the words catching on the thick summer air.
His breath meets my lips, close enough to taste. When his nose grazes across mine, my body locks tight, wound with need I can’t hide. “That was my head talking,” he murmurs, his voice rough with restraint.
“Then what part of you can’t say no to me?” I whisper.
He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t rush. He lifts his hand and touches my mouth with his thumb, dragging it across my bottom lip. “My heart,” he says tenderly. “My heart can’t say no to you. It never could.”
I let go of his shirt and slide my fingers into his hair, needing more than touch, needing to feel the truth of him, the weight of his body pressed to mine.
“Then listen to your heart,” I say. “Tell me what it wants.”
His chest rises like he’s trying to catch a breath he hasn’t taken in years. “It wants you, Mabel. Always you.”
When I find out I could lose my bookstore, I make a deal with the devil to save it, not realizing I would end up in bed with the last person I ever thought I’d be hot and sweaty with…
Fletcher St. James
Even at twenty-four, he’s a spoiled brat. He believes the whole world owes him something, and he really needs to be put in his place.
When his wealthy, power-hunger father propositions me with something I desperately need in exchange for teaching his son a little responsibility, it’s an offer I can’t refuse.
After all, there’s nothing I enjoy more than humbling an arrogant man and bringing him to his knees.
This should be a piece of cake.
But one thing I didn’t expect was how much Fletcher would enjoy it… Or how much that would turn me on. The tension quickly boils over, and before I know it, we’re giving in to our illicit desires, consequences be damned.
I crave the feeling of his body against mine, and the needy sounds he makes right before he begs.
But more than that, I can’t get enough of the little things, like the way the golden sun looks reflecting off his green eyes in the morning, or how beautiful his vulnerability is.
And when his touch becomes my safe space, bringing out a softer side of me I’ve kept locked away for too long, it’s impossible to remember why this is wrong.
When the secrets come out about the lascivious things we indulge in behind closed doors, will it be worth it, or will this deal end up costing me everything?
Vivian only has one big regret in life–and a million little ones if you count all the calories she didn’t consume while she was living with the guy who dumped her. But Vivian is glad she moved to Portland with her ex. She’s glad he left her for someone who lives in the city she moved from, because she can now eat her feelings and those feelings taste like wine, tacos, pastries, and gourmet ice cream.
She’s even happy when her newly-engaged sister informs her that she’s hired the toughest personal trainer in town to whip Vivian back into shape for her wedding, because it finally brings her face-to-face with that one big regret—her former best friend from high school.
Brad Mitchell, who claimed she broke his heart and disappeared after they graduated. Who never replied to all those emails about how much she regretted hurting him. The once-chubby, grumpy nerd who was the other person in their two-member book club. The one who now looks infuriatingly hot in a compression tank top and sweatpants.
Brad goes by Mitch these days. He has the same wry sense of humor, a lot of exciting new muscles, and one aggravating, old grudge. But as he puts Vivian through resistance training that tests his own stubborn resolve too, their old spark refuses to die—it just keeps doing more reps.
And those long-ignored emails sitting in Brad’s archived inbox folder? They just might take these former best friends from enemies to lovers and give them the second chance they deserve—if he ever reads them.

Holden The rodeo brings everyone to Sagebrush Creek, even big-city influencers. So I’m not surprised when Zara Platt shows up to see her sister Priya wearing tiny shorts and high heels. She’s talking hashtags and lighting like she’s producing a reality show… I figure she won’t last a day. Zara has a million followers, even more money, and a mouth that never stops. But the longer she’s here, the harder it is to pretend I don’t notice her curves make me ache for more. Then the storm hits. It’s flash floods, no power, and one dry bed between us.

All it took was one phrase—“𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦?”—and I was already losing.
To the enemy.
To a Tinder date gone violently wrong.
To the Syndicate’s most dangerous heir.
It was supposed to be my last middle finger to the establishment before they sacrificed me on the family altar of arranged marriage. So I took control. I made the rules. I chose the husband.
Louis De Lange.
The twin who should’ve died.
The traitor.
The man who lost my sister—his so-called true love.
He said he had nothing left. So I made him my weapon.
But the problem with controlling a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
You never see the fangs until they’re already at your throat.
The plan was simple. The timeline set. Sixty days to infiltrate, manipulate, and survive.
But I wasn’t banking on Louis being more than broken—I wasn’t ready for how dangerous he could be when he finally decides he’s done bleeding for everyone else but himself.
I was playing to win.
He was playing to lose.
And we were both about to learn…
The sweeter the poison the more bitter the fight.
To the end. Love. Hell. Or destruction. Let the games begin.

Make Me Yours by Jennifer Sucevic is now live in audio!

A steamy friends-to-lovers, off-limits, pro hockey romance from USA Today and Amazon top #26 bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic.
Steele Sanderson has always been my safe place. My best friend. My constant. My person. So when I walk in on my boyfriend—who also happens to be my boss—screwing a colleague on his desk, it’s Steele who picks up the pieces.
Now I’m living in his penthouse, crashing in his guest room, and working as his assistant while I figure out what’s next. Every day, I tell myself this is temporary. That just because he looks at me like I already belong to him doesn’t mean I actually do.
Except… Steele doesn’t see it that way. To him, I’ve always been his. The only one he’s ever wanted. The only one he’s ever loved. He’s protective. Possessive. And done waiting.
I keep telling myself that crossing the line could ruin everything—that risking our friendship isn’t worth it. But when he offers a friends-with-benefits arrangement, promising to give me everything I’ve secretly craved, how can I possibly say no? It doesn’t take long for the lines between us to blur.
Now I have to decide—keep pretending nothing’s changed or finally give in to the man who’s been right in front of me all along.
Make Me Yours is a swoony, boy-obsessed, friends-to-lovers steamy romance with close proximity, undeniable tension, and a hero who has always been all in. It’s the first book in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.
