What started out as a night of fun at a Vegas hotspot somehow turned into saying “I Do” by an Elvis impersonator.
If you think that’s bad, it gets worse. My new husband lied to me and told me he ran a not-for-profit. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Imagine my surprise when I realized I married one of the best tight ends in the league.
Did I mention my uncle owns the team?
If you think things couldn’t get any more complicated, our plans to get an annulment are unexpectedly put on hold. So, now I’m trapped in this unforeseen marriage until we can find a way out. He assured me not to worry, proposing a temporary solution—move in with him and keep our relationship a secret.
Except, the more I get to know my husband, the more I want to stay married, especially when he calls me—”his wife”.
But life doesn’t always go as planned, especially when my uncle intercepts our news before we have a chance to tell him.
Now his spot on the team is at risk, my heart is on the line, and the fallout could cost us everything.
Enrico Marchetti. One of the five Italian mafia kings. Powerful. Untouchable. Corrupt.
It started with one innocent look across a room in Paris. He was a lot older than me. A Roman god dressed in an Italian suit, surrounded by an aura I couldn’t resist.
When I ran into him again, he effortlessly pulled me under his spell. But little did I know, a night full of carnal pleasure would cost me everything.
When Enrico Marchetti wanted something, he didn’t just take it. He possessed it. Now, his sights were set on me.
There were secrets this man was keeping. They surrounded him, his dead wife, his children.
I wanted no part of it, but there was no escaping him. He had taken me to his kingdom, locked the doors, and thrown away the key.
Now the only thing left to do was fight. Even if it killed me.
I learn that the hard way after hockey star Carter Masters stabs me in the back and turns our rival school against me.
Suddenly, I’m Public Enemy Number One at Framingham State.
Just a year later, that’s exactly where I’m forced to enroll.
No one has forgotten what I did.
The anti-Sydney campaign is led by two gorgeous, psycho hockey players. Oliver Ruiz, captain. And Penn Walker, the devastating goalie.
They have me in their sights the moment I step foot on their campus. Where they lead, the rest of the students follow. They won’t stop until I’m gone and Carter’s team faces payback.
My only solace from the constant bullying comes from a blocked number that keeps texting me.
But as much as Oliver and Penn want to, they can’t drive me off completely. Because even at the worst moments, I know I’m not going anywhere.
After all, I’m their coach’s daughter.
🏒Review🏒
Sydney’s downfall all began with her plan to retrieve something she had a deep connection to which led her to Oliver’s home. Her plan is interrupted but not before she takes pictures of the team’s hockey playbook and decides to forward them to Caleb, her ex-boyfriend who plays for a rival school. In the aftermath she finds herself transferring to the school that she stole the pictures from where her father also happens to coach.
Oliver and Penn view Sydney as a traitor and want retribution in whatever way they feel is necessary while Carter wants to fix what is broken. They will each test her strength and push her boundaries, but they are about to find out that Sydney is a force to be reckoned with and nothing will go according to plan.
Each of the men bring something unique to the relationship and Sydney is there for it all. A few surprises and some suspense as revenge turns to romance.
About the Author:
S. Massery is a dark romance author who loves injecting a good dose of suspense into her stories. She lives in Western Massachusetts with her dog, Alice.
Before adventuring into the world of writing, she went to college in Boston and held a wide variety of jobs–including working on a dude ranch in Wyoming (a personal highlight). She has a love affair with coffee and chocolate. When S. Massery isn’t writing, she can be found devouring books, playing outside with her dog, or trying to make people smile.
The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn’t falling for my best friend’s little sister when I knew she was off-limits…it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn’t been a single achievement I’ve celebrated that wasn’t tainted by her absence. But now, it’s time. I’m going to get my girl back…no matter what it takes.
GRACE
Five years ago, I spent a whole summer learning, exploring, and falling in love with my lifelong protector. His future was bright, and as he broke me into a million pieces, he made sure I knew there wasn’t a place for me next to him under the bright, stadium lights. That girl who waited and hoped for him to come back is gone now, but just when I think I’ve moved on and created a life of my own, a ghost from my past reappears, determined to make things right. Tanner Lake may have once been everything to me, but those days are long over, aren’t they?
C.L. Rose is a wife and mother of two. She lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband, son, daughter, and dog, Tank. When she isn’t writing, you can find her reading in front of a space heater, wrapped in a thick blanket, probably complaining that she’s cold.
🏈Review🏈 The biggest regret that Tanner has is ending his relationship with Grace after spending one unforgettable summer together until his departure left them both devastated. Professionally is life turned out the way he expected but personally he has never been able to move forward. It will be five years before he sees her again and it only reinforces his feelings for her are stronger than ever however he is in for quite the challenge as he tries to convince her to give him a second chance.
Grace has tried to forget about what she shared with Tanner however that is easier said than done even if she is engaged to another man. Seeing him again brings up all the pain that she has tried to bury especially when he wants a second chance, and she isn’t about to forgive and forget.
Tanner is swoony as he acknowledges that leaving Grace is the biggest mistake of his life and he will do whatever is necessary to find his way back to her. Grace’s need to protect herself is understandable but despite everything she has been through she is feisty, fierce and willing to go after what she wants even with the emotional rollercoaster, she finds herself facing.
He’s commitment phobic. She believes in happy endings. The twist of fate that binds them is a surprise they never saw coming in a bittersweet romance about instant family—and not-so-instant love.
A decade-old animosity is the only thing Liam Davies and Zoe Valentine have in common. Until their mutual best friends pass away and they’re appointed co-guardians of the trusting couple’s precocious toddler, Mira.
Liam is committed only to professional football. Relationship-wise, he’s even better at defense. Still wrestling with a tough childhood, he’s not cut out to be a father. Why his late best buddy believed in him, Liam has no idea.
An optimistic romantic, Zoe has always dreamed of a fairy-tale life. But even though Liam’s biceps make her dizzy and she can’t stop thinking about his lips on hers, he’s not exactly Prince Charming. With or without that brooding Brit, she is determined to make good on her friends’ last wish.
Forced into a predicament they never expected, Zoe and Liam are discovering things about each other that could scorch through boundaries, warm hearts, and change minds. And best of all, with their shared love for a pint-size surprise like Mira, they might just turn a house into a home.
I captured a thief…does that mean I get to keep him?
Lainey My mother’s dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to one…and he was a no-good, cheating so-and-so. I left him in my dust, and now I’m working as a personal assistant to a professional rich woman while I pursue my dream, running a business helping people who’ve been through messy breakups.
When a woman comes to me after her ex refuses to hand over her heirloom heart necklace, I know exactly what to do.
I cozy up to her ex to steal it back.
Jake is a smooth talker with good game, but so am I. So it doesn’t take me long to get the necklace from him.
Except it turns out they never dated, and it’s not actually hers.
It’s a fake version of a very expensive necklace owned by my boss…and the real one just got stolen.
Jake I absolutely intended to steal Lainey’s boss’s necklace. Because if I don’t bring it back to the man who sent me here, I’m toast.
Lainey agrees to help me find out who took it. Our motivations don’t match up, but I’m not about to complain. Because suddenly the necklace isn’t the only thing I want; I want to make her mine.
No one could have seen this coming, but it’s now on the Iron Fiends’ doorstep, and Fade knows that this is just the beginning.

★★★★★ from Charlotte Isaac – “Wow. I absolutely loved this book. I didn’t expect who the couple could be. I couldn’t put the book down once I started.”

Things go from bad to worse when I want my teammates’ help to set me up. Especially when the team’s general manager is there to witness the train wreck of a date.
Until she proposes dating lessons….𝘮𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴.
How can the most confident, self-assured woman need my help?
What starts off simple and uncomplicated quickly turns into more. A lot more. She’s supposed to be helping me with other women. But the more time I spend with Bexley, the more I want her.
𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳.
We can’t be together. She’s my general manager. More than a decade older than me. There’s no way this can work.
Except it does.
When everything goes sideways, will the two of us find a way to make it work?
To be the general manager of the Black Diamonds it requires Bexley to be strong and assertive which doesn’t always bode well for her personal life. When she sees that Nick, one of her players, is having challenges when it comes to dating as well, she suggests they coach each other.
On the ice Nick knows that he is a force to be reckoned with but when it comes to his personal life, he doesn’t have the same conviction. As he and Bex spends time together the feelings and chemistry between them erupt and he can’t imagine a future without her even with all the obstacles they need to overcome.
Witty banter, great chemistry and a few challenges as even though they have very different personalities they are each other’s equal in every way.

“I’m scared,” I admit to Finn keeping my voice down so that the mystical powers of the universe don’t hear, lest they should decide to seize on my concerns.
“Me too,” he confesses. “But I promise, we can get through it together. You just have to let your fear go and have faith.”
“In what?” Faith, what a joke. I gave up on things like faith and hope. Finn was my last shot at either. Every time I crack the door to those foreign notions, it’s slammed hard in my face.
“In me. In us. I’ve got you, Masha, and I’ll fight for our family.”
“We don’t have a family. I have a family.”
“You, Ana and our baby are now my family as well.”
I cry out as a ripping pain tears across my abdomen. After a minute or two I find the strength to speak again.
“We’re not flowers, Finn. You don’t get to pluck us and hide us away for your keeping. That’s not how it works in my world.”
“I’ll fight anyone or anything that threatens to come between us. That’s how it works in my world.”
He sounds certain and sincere. I have no doubt he believes what he’s saying, but I don’t think it’s that easy.
“Your kind kills my kind. End of story.”
Forced to retreat to the forest for her safety and that of her child, Masha never dreamed she’d have another shot at love.

Finn falls for the beautiful woman in the forest that comes to hear him play his violin under the moonlight. Once they give into their physical desires, he tries to come clean and explain they are more different than she realizes. Before he can confess his dark secret, the leshy sworn to protect her attacks him, and brings him to the brink of death. As she helps him heal, another kelpie threatens the lives of Masha and her daughter.
Can two beings from such different worlds find a way to be together and keep each other safe?
