The Five Families thought the war was over. They have no idea, I’m the very beginning.
I kidnapped her to prove a point—at knife point, it seemed sharper that way. See what I did there?
I used the perfect virginal daughter from one of the most powerful Families in the Cosa Nostra to fix the broken pieces, knowing that in the process—I’d spread hers for the world to see. I would embarrass her, shame her, use her, but I would never touch her… my one and only vow to her father in exchange for his allegiance.

A tale of four souls…and the effects of near tragedy
After a phenomenal journey spanning thirty memorable books, the epic Steel Brothers Saga from New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt comes to a breathtaking conclusion in Encore!
When Brianna Steel and Jesse Pike hold each other for what they fear may be the last moment of their lives, they realize they’re meant to be together for the long haul.
But for Brianna’s cousin, David Simpson, and Jesse’s sister, Madeline Pike, the event has more far-reaching consequences.
Dave, after helping his father and his Uncle Jonah deal with horrific happenings on the Steel property, needed a vacation. Joining his cousins on Dragonlock’s European tour seemed like a no-brainer, and hooking up with Maddie Pike was some decadent icing on the cake. But after looking his mortality in the eye, he’s questioning everything about the path he’s on—including his budding relationship with Maddie.
Maddie, too, is evaluating her own dreams and aspirations, and she desperately seeks a deeper connection to the world around her. Is a relationship with Dave, who she’s been crushing on forever, in the cards? She’s not sure where he stands, but she’s having a difficult time keeping her distance because the chemistry between them is hot and sizzling.
But in the end, a family member’s illness and a near-fatal accident could be their undoing.
The thing about making a deal with the devil, is you never see the fine print.
I thought this was the best way to save them. The four men that keep me grounded, rooted to the core of my history, my legacy, and I’ll save them no matter the cost.
Truths uncovered lead to more secrets, more lies, more pain, and the tangled web of Echoes Cove has me trapped tighter in its bindings.
The monsters of this world have no idea how far I’m willing to go. How hard I’m willing to fight.
One thing is for sure, they have all underestimated me. Soon they will see my truth, and I’ll be the one with the crown.
I’m still unclear on how I got into this predicament in the first place. A year ago, I was a man with one thought on his mind, the redhead I met at a hotel bar. Twelve months later, I found her.
Unfortunately for me, she not only happens to be my very off-limits coach’s daughter, but also . . . my new assistant and roommate.
I don’t even need an assistant, but Coach Wood doesn’t take no for an answer. Add in him writing up tasks for his daughter, Wylie, to complete for me? Well, it’s his own form of sweet torture. We are talking tasks that I would never ask her to do.
Tasks that make her despise me.
Hate me.
That make her utter four words that cause a shiver to crawl up my spine . . . Posey, this is war.
Getting called into your coach’s office is never good especially when Posey learns the task he has been assigned. Finding out that he has to hire the coach’s daughter as his assistant was bad enough but it only becomes worse with the jobs that he is supposed to have her do. He didn’t think it could get any worse until he finds out that the daughter is the same woman he briefly met a year previously and has been trying to locate ever since.
Wylie agreed to study business for her father but that isn’t the future she wants. When she tells her father he agrees to let her step away for one semester if she becomes Posey’s assistant. She is confused by the two different sides of him and once she finds out what is really going on the battle is on and the sparks fly.
The chemistry between them radiates off the pages and Posey is supportive of Wylie as she tries to follow her dreams. The narrators were a perfect choice for the characters and the cast of narrators for his teammates and their significant others is humor at its best especially when it comes to the group texts.
Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder narrate this sexy, boss/assistant, forced proximity romance in duet with a full cast including Jason Clarke, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, JF Harding, Stella Hunter, Erin Mallon, and Kelsey Navarro-Foster!

Blurb:
In a world where shared pizzas turned into shared spreadsheets, Jae Lee and I morphed from best friends to colleagues to… frenemies. Yes, you got that right. As his go-to assistant, I remembered everyone’s coffee orders, but somehow, my own birthday got lost in his busy CEO schedule. Sending flowers to myself? Not my proudest moment, but sometimes, a girl just has to take matters into her own hands.
That low point hit me like a bucket of ice water—it was painfully clear I was just another task on his never-ending to-do list. So, I slapped down my resignation—it felt like a breakup, minus the dramatic tears and squabbles over who gets the goldfish. I was ready to walk away and reclaim my life, chart my own course. But just as I was about to turn the page, Jae threw in a plot twist: he wasn’t ready to let me go.
What came next? A whirlwind of fake engagements and real feelings. As we played pretend, something genuine began to bloom. Could this frenemy fiasco turn into our forever after?

Riggs Malone. Star quarterback and captain of the football team. The boy all the girls wanted and all the boys wanted to be. My first love.
And the only person who ever broke me.
I have a great life. I’ve fulfilled my dream of running my own coffee shop-slash-library in my hometown, I own my own home, and I have the best group of friends a girl could ask for. Everything is perfect.
Or it was.
When a neighboring town starts its very own professional football franchise, he gets himself traded to be the starting quarterback of the Branston Bandits. And before I know it, he’s purchased the house next door, moving in with a neighborly smile like he didn’t destroy me all those years ago…
…when he made a disgusting bet with his teammates to take my V-card, which I was eagerly and naively willing to give him before I found out the truth.
Well, if Riggs Malone thinks it’s all water under the bridge, he has another thing coming. I don’t forgive easily, and I never forget. I’m about to make his life a living hell.
