I’ve come to wreak vengeance on the man who killed my parents. My own little brother—an abomination, a snake in the nest.
I’m Hazel Fury—a phoenix, a killer—and I’m not leaving this insane asylum until Baz is in a body bag. Someone has to do it and that someone will be me.
Bring on your friends, little brother. Bring on death and mayhem—there’s no stopping a phoenix. Nothing but you.
I’ll do whatever it takes. Even if that means using a trickster you can’t outmaneuver and the big man himself—Dr. Stein.
And don’t worry about being lonely in Hell… I’ll send your friends there with you.
From rolling after a successful parachute drop: a term to describe an individual’s buttocks. The first three points are feet, calves, and back of the thigh.
I know this because I took a hard landing, jumping out of a crashing plane on a job that should have been simple, with a woman latched to me with a jimmy rigged harness.
And that was just the beginning of the chaos. With my teammates nowhere in sight, it was way too easy to fall for this woman’s charms. To say we got dirty was a nice way of putting it.
Then the bear attacked and put us in an even more perilous position that I was unequipped to deal with after I decided to sacrifice myself to save the frustratingly beautiful woman.
So, it was no surprise when after all that, I kept in touch with her. She started writing me letters, telling me about the idiot who cheated on her. And I responded in equal kind, complaining about how my mother came for a visit, catching me with a stash of unmentionable magazines.
Did I expect her to fly out to see me? No, but I would be lying if I said she didn’t save my life.
I was pretty sure my mother wanted to send me to Catholic school for adults.

All Piper wanted to do was to get away from the situation she found herself in but she never expected that a trip to the airport would lead to an adventure. Not only does she find herself having to leave the plane midair but she now finds herself stranded with a sexy stranger.
Patrick was used to being in dangerous situations so the dilemma he found himself in with Piper was no different. He expected that their alliance would end when they returned to their normal lives however she might just be the solution not only for his mother but himself as well.
The journey that Piper and Patrick is humorous both when it comes to the situations they find themselves in and the banter, but it also includes a romance that neither saw coming and an adventure that was only beginning.
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.
Pipes Those blue eyes landed on me That’s the first time I knew I was toast Casey The woman I never dreamed could be mine We had one wild night Then it all fell apart She has a fiery side One that I love I can’t get enough of the way she makes me feel B ut even when the darkness lurks We find our way back to one another every time Like magnets who can’t be apart Souls who never gave up Even when my life is in danger I’ll never stop fighting For her For us I won’t back down Not this time
Casey We couldn’t fight it Even when I knew I could fall When I put my heart on the line I took a chance I gave in to how he makes me feel To loving him, like I love this club But in all the chaos We dropped our guard We didn’t see the storm brewing The cold wind sweeping it’s way in Until it was too late Now the real fight begins Because I can’t live my life without him I can’t He’s the reason I’ll hang on Even when all hope is lost Even if it costs me my last breath
The men of the NOLA Rebels MC will do anything for their club. They’re a brotherhood, a club who stands mighty, and above all else, they take care of business, New Orleans style.
The bikers may rule this city, but the women of the club have their hearts, and the men will do anything to protect what’s theirs.
It is part of a series, but can be read stand-alone with a HEA. This book is recommended for mature readers.
None of us was prepared for the storm that is our woman to blow into our lives. She came in with meekness wrapped around her as protection, but the steel in her spine was easy to see. You just had to look close enough.
Vanquishing her demons was only the start. Now that her light shines upon our city, the rats are scurrying and trying to find shelter. But what runs must be caught, and we have always been predators.
Taking over Seattle was never going to be easy, and we expected more battles ahead. What we didn’t foresee was having so much more to lose. Bitterness and rage have corrupted the dark corners of this city. Now those who have been hidden should expect retribution in the light.
What they didn’t count on was how fierce we would defend what is ours. Our city. Our woman. Our lives.
Tangled together, our souls are strongest together. The sins that strangled our city for too long will not find solace here.
We will fight those who oppose us and keep our woman safe. Anything less will make us unworthy of our queen and we’re never letting her go.
What to expect: 💙Fake Engagement 💗Grumpy Billionaire 💙American FMC/British MMC 💗New in town 💙Vacation Romance
Blurb: Tuesday Reynolds’s dreamy life in Manhattan has gone belly-up. Ditched by her college sweetheart and with her Wall Street banking job at risk, she’s off to London to prove herself to a new CEO. Plans change when Tuesday meets Ben Kelley, a wealthy, scowly, and movie-star-handsome stranger. He’s just missing one thing to make his professional dreams come true. What does Ben need? Oh, just a fake fiancée to impress a duke and duchess. What’s in it for Tuesday? Enough money to put a down payment on an apartment back in New York, a new wardrobe, and a weekend in the country at the stately home of the duke and duchess. The Bridgerton vibes are absolutely off the charts. Everything between Ben and Tuesday is completely professional, until the rehearsals for their weekend romance start to feel…almost authentic. It’s official. Tuesday’s life has been hijacked by a rom-com scriptwriter. But the best love stories aren’t the ones on the big screen. Maybe they’re the real ones that sneak up on you when you least expect it.
💙Review💙 Tuesday’s life isn’t unfolding the way she planned as not only is her personal life in shambles but her career is also in jeopardy. Unable to fix her personal life she focuses on her professional life which is how she finds herself in London trying to prove her worth until she comes across a distraction by the name of Ben.
Ben may be a successful businessman but that isn’t helping him close his latest deal. He needs to prove that he is in a stable and committed relationship which means a fake fiancé and Tuesday is perfect for the job. He may have expected the chemistry between them but enjoying the chaos she brings into his life wasn’t part of the plan.
The characters and the situations they find themselves in are so much fun and Ben is charming with a capital C. There is a great cast of secondary characters and the romance between Ben and Tuesday is top notch.
The name I should have wiped from my mind nearly two years ago.
Her brother, and my assistant captain, has repeatedly warned she’s off-limits to a guy like me—a playboy bound to bed her one night and break her heart the next morning—an opinion shared by her stepdad, who also happens to be my coach. I can see why they don’t want their goalie anywhere near her. My reputation with women isn’t exactly unblemished.
Except, they shouldn’t judge what they don’t understand, and neither should my girl. Okay, she’s not technically my girl yet, but that’s just semantics, as are the things I’ll do to make her mine.
Each time she’s visited from the UK, I’ve warred with the respect I have for my friendship with her brother versus pursuing a growing obsession for the honey-haired bombshell with blue eyes as big as the Ocean that separates us.
That is, until everything changes and there’s nothing keeping me at a safe distance. She’s living in Brooklyn and looking for fun with guys, and I can no longer observe from the sidelines. Any chance—no matter how small—she gives me, I’m going to take it and say to hell with the consequences.
Only, the opportunity I get isn’t small, and neither are the stakes that go with it.
Penn Navarro is the best player in the league—unstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.
Hockey is my life. It’s what I was born to do. That’s not ego talking, just fact—I’ve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesn’t erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage I’ve done. It’s why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, you’ll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself.
Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. She’s a ghost I’ve tried to bury, the reminder of everything I’ve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins don’t stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Mila’s arrival means my time is up.
The past isn’t just knocking at my door—it’s kicking it down, crumbling all the walls I’ve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.
Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he’s untouchable.
But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both.
The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them.
Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives.
Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it’s time we make the play.
Knox
She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation.
The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble.
I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, and I’ll do something we both might regret.
What I do is even worse. I help her land a job working for the team. My team.
Now I can’t get her out of my mind, or my way. And keeping my hands to myself is a penalty waiting to happen. Because Corie isn’t just off-limits—she’s one line I swore I’d never cross, yet I’m sprinting toward it.
I’d risk the season—my entire career—for her just to make the play.
Knox is everything you could want in a man and more. He is a loyal teammate and friend, close to his family and the fact that he is a star quarterback only completes the package. When he sees that Corie, his friend’s sister, is no longer the girl he remembers but a woman he knows that he should keep his distance however some rewards are worth the risk.
Now that she has finished school Corie has come to stay with her brother as she prepares for the next step in her life. Staying with him also means being in close proximity with his friend Knox however this time around she realizes that the feelings she has for him are now returned. Let the complications begin!
This is a heartwarming story that includes family, a supportive group of friends, an enchanting romance and a little drama as secrets have a way of being exposed when you least expect it.

I’m Elijah Rhodes top-tier Guardian Security agent. We protect the world’s power players: heads of state, royalty, A-listers. The elite.
I didn’t grow up with much, and nothing came easy. My time in Special Ops hardened me, gave me purpose, and left me with a black heart. I took the missions no one else would. Still do.
My rules are simple: No long-term assignments. No repeats. No attachments. Keep it professional. Keep it distant.
It’s how I’ve survived. Until her.
Dr. Danielle Sinclair is brilliant, beautiful, off-limits. I protected her, then did what I always do. I walked away.
Now, a year later, tragedy strikes. Dani’s life is in danger, and every instinct in me demands I break my own rules to keep her safe.
Some lines shouldn’t be crossed. Some rules were made to be broken.
I’ll protect Dani with my life, but I can’t give her a heart I don’t have.
Have you been Aleatha’d?
DEFENDING LOVE is a steamy, high-stakes, standalone romantic suspense with bodyguard vibes, second chances, and all the feels—set in the same world as the Sinclair Duet.
Eli is a man who still bears the emotional scars of his past which ensures that he doesn’t allow anyone close and that is especially true when it comes to the clients he guards. Dani was the one person who managed to crack his walls and when he realized that he walked away never expecting to see her again.t
Dani is a research scientist who finds herself in danger once again, but she never expected that it would once again be Eli that is tasked to protect her. The chemistry and connection between them are stronger than ever but this time around keeping their relationship strictly professional may be the biggest challenge of all.
The intrigue keeps you guessing, the heat between them is fiery and neither the turmoil from the past nor the danger in the present is enough to derail the depth of the way they feel for each other.

Lila Wright never expected to flee her dress fitting covered in a cloud of lace—let alone land in a first-class seat next to the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen. With mascara-streaked cheeks, a shattered heart, and no plan beyond “anywhere but here,” she spills her secrets to the stranger with the sharp jawline and stormy eyes. She expects a little sympathy. She doesn’t expect a two-week, all-expenses-paid escape on his dime.
Dean Harrington isn’t just any passenger. He’s a man with a heart locked up tighter than his family’s luxury yacht empire. The reclusive billionaire isn’t in the mood for small talk—until the runaway bride beside him turns out to be as intriguing as she is unfiltered. She’s beautiful, chaotic, and clearly a flight risk. But somehow, she puts him at ease. That is, until they land—and he discovers he’s now the full-time guardian of his niece and nephew.
By a twist of fate, Lila’s no longer just a fleeting encounter—she’s the nanny he hires from a small-town agency. And he’s her brooding, infuriatingly hot boss.
Forced under one roof in his bayside home, a temporary arrangement soon spirals into something far more complicated. Between sizzling tension and curious kids who want their uncle to be happy, Lila and Dean are on a collision course with feelings neither saw coming.
But sometimes love shows up uninvited—35,000 feet in the air.
This steamy small-town romance delivers billionaire angst, nanny sweetness, and a slow-burn love story full of heat, heart, and unexpected happily-ever-afters. #reneeharless #spicyromance #theauthoragency @theauthor.agency
