Marie Johnston is a RITAยฎ Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance โ and an avid reader of them both.
Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type โ and fell in love with story telling.
The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER. She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.
Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.
I need a husband. Jensen needs a business makeover. A marriage of convenience should solve both our problems.
Moving back to Coal Haven should have been simpleโstart my tutoring business, settle into the historic house my grandmother left me, and move on from my past. But thereโs a catch: I canโt claim the house unless Iโm married.
Jensen Hollis. My childhood rival. The guy I spent years trying to outdo. The one who married our mutual friend while I watched from the sidelines. Now heโs divorced, a single dad, andโsomehowโmy only option.
Itโs a perfect arrangement. A temporary marriage. One year with no feelings involved. At least, that was the planโฆ until playing house starts to feel a little too real.
Imprisoned, afraid, and with no memory of who I am, Iโve been thrown to the wolvesโฆliterally.
Before today there are only dark, shadowed memories Iโm too scared to even think about. It doesn’t take me long to find out no one escapes from the Island of the Damned, a hidden paranormal prison camp in the depths of Siberia. Especially not a chubby, boring, plain old human woman like me.
But I have to.
Especially when every other man here wants to claim me for their pack.
The only comfort I find is a deep, intimate connection to the wolf-shifters who rescue me.
They make me feel safe.
They want to protect me.
They give me the strength to fight.
Iโm not leaving them behind. Even if the dark Prince of Wolves wants me dead. Taryn and her wolves’ story is complete in this four book series all in one chonky volume. This story is integral to the Alpha Wolves Want Curves storyline and included in this series as a special collection so that readers don’t miss Taryn’s importance to the world of the wolf shifters.
Get lost in the world of the Fate of the Wolf Guard as this curvy girl discovers who she truly is and that when it comes to love, she doesn’t have to choose.
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 Iโd be hot and sweaty withโฆ
Fletcher St. James
Even at twenty-four, heโs 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, itโs an offer I canโt refuse.
After all, thereโs 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 didnโt expect was how much Fletcher would enjoy itโฆ Or how much that would turn me on. The tension quickly boils over, and before I know it, weโre 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 canโt 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 Iโve kept locked away for too long, itโs 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?

Theyโre watching. Threatening. Waiting for us to slip.

A romance inspired by TS โFortnightโ
I was hers, but she was never mine.
Alice Yates is the hired โhomemakerโ for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, itโs a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.
But when the Morrisonsโ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancรฉ, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered pastโthe only threat to her perfect life.
Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.
Murphy doesnโt know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancรฉe that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?
I finish adding creamer to his cup, and my eyes flick to where heโs pointing.
My prospect cut.
I swallow hard. โThere you go.โ I hand him his cup.
Weโre almost toe to toe when he says, โStella? Whose is that?โ
Calli moves next to him and sits.
He couldnโt know anything about my plans, Iโve never told him, and heโs not close with anyone in the MC. So a look Iโve never seen before, mixed between confusion and annoyance, crosses his pretty face when I clear my throat and say: โItโs mine.โ
His lips part and my eyes drop to them. Man, I wonder how soft they would be. His presence in this tiny room is doing things to me, and the faint waft of his cologne goes straight between my thighs. โYours?โ The words sound foreign, disbelieving.
โI, uh, I can explain.โ
He piques an eyebrow, and Iโve never seen him this way, well not to me. Stern. His eyebrows knitted together. His posture rigid. โIโm listening.โ
โWell, itโs always been a lifelong dream of mine to join the MC.โ I let the words hang as he continues to stare at me. โAnd the opportunity aroseโโ
โA lifelong dream?โ he butts in.
โWell, uh, I grew up in the MC, so itโs second nature.โ
He moves a step closer. Instinctively, I take a step back. Then he tells Calli to stay but doesnโt take his eyes off me. โThis is some kinda joke, right?โ He has the audacity to look around as if heโs being punked.
I try not to wince at his words, but I find Iโm often on a losing streak when it comes to keeping my emotions off my face. โNo, itโs no joke.โ
Another step. This time when I move back, my butt hits the sink, so Iโve nowhere left to go.
โHow can you be a prospect when youโre aโโ He stops.
I fold my arms over my chest as he looms over me. Goddamn, heโs so fucking hot, even if Iโm pissed at what heโs about to say.

I took a steadying breath and lined up my target. The wind kicked up just a little and I adjusted one click, checking the anemometer again. The target was perfectly in my sights. All I had to do was pull the trigger. But I hesitated. Another kill. Another life taken at the hands of Sally 4. Or was this 5? I was losing track rapidly. I had to abandon the last Sally at my previous location due to a hasty retreat, but this oneโฆI loved this one so much. Sally was going to get me home. I could feel it in my bones. I just had to finish the job. And the many other jobs that would come my way. โWhat are you waiting for?โ the voice crackled in my ear, reminding me I was under constant supervision. I chuckled under my breath. If I slid my rifle ninety degrees, I could take out the fucker on the other end of my comms without him ever knowing there was a bullet with his name on it. Leaving the military didnโt do shit to rid me of my training. I would always be a Hunter of Gunmen. With my eyes on the target and my rifle at the ready, I took one last breath, fingered the trigger, and gave a light squeeze. โTarget down.โ
โIf you think this is your big moment to step into my big brotherโs shoes and start bossing me around, donโt waste your breath, farm boy.โ I keep my tone steady, even as everything inside me vibrates.
We buried my brother today, and I canโt let my brotherโs best friend, Cal, the man who has treated me like Iโm invisible, think he can chastise me for standing up to the small-town gossips.
A flush creeps up Calโs neck. He takes a step closer. โI have no desire to be your brother, Mabel.โ
His breath brushes my lips.
This is the closest weโve been in years.
I hold my ground.
Heโs taller by at least a good six inches, but I meet his gaze head-on. His eyes are steel blue-gray like the sky before a thunderclap. And this is a storm Iโve seen coming for years.
โYou could never take my brotherโs place. Youโve ignored me every day since I was thirteen years old.โ
There. I said it.
Itโs been eight years of silence.
Eight years of dancing around being invisible to him.
The words hang between us, raw and electric.
Heat surges through me, fueled by the fury of being overlooked, the ache of wanting more from this man, the unbearable thrill of speaking the truth.
And Cal?
His eyes donโt soften. No, they blaze, locked on mine, daring me to flinch, to yield, to be the one to break first.
This is the storm, cracking through the silence.
Itโs here, blowing in and ready to slice the sky.
One night, one kiss, and a spark hot enough to melt the ice.
Prestonโs all in on his hockey career as a Stingray, and Chelseaโs just about to start a new adventure in Parisโuntil an unforgettable night at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party changes everything. A few drinks, some dirty jokes, and a kiss under the mistletoe leads to a night of toe-curling, name-forgetting, no-strings-attached fun.
They part ways in the morning, no regretsโjust a sizzling memory they both assume will fade.
A year later, Chelseaโs in Baltimore, launching her dream bakeryโand navigating life with a baby she never saw coming. The father? Mystery man from that one unforgettable night. What she really didnโt expect? Him walking through her door, very real, very sexy… and very much still capable of making her forget how to breathe.
Preston hasnโt been able to get her out of his head. Now that he knows the truth, heโs not going anywhere. The question isโcan they turn one accidental night into a real shot at forever?

Forgetting Wells was supposed to be easy. But apparently the pushy player didnโt get the memo.
