I’m a vampire hunter, a legacy meant only to care about killing monsters. But all I’ve ever cared about is Sebastian. I’m enamored… obsessed. Stalking him and manipulating fate to keep us together.
We were assigned to Visamar Academy, where a group of powerful vampires gorge on the rich. I failed him as a partner and he paid the ultimate price—the worst thing that can happen to a hunter.
My obsession wouldn’t let me end him. I sullied our souls, damning us to Hell. Crossed lines I never thought I would.
Now I’ll pay for those sins in blood.
The Brotherhood will kill me… if Sebastian doesn’t first.
This book has been edited and includes many changes, while the plot and story line remain the same.
Deception is often worse than the depths of hell.
Justin Middleton was one of Charleston’s most eligible bachelors.
He had his choice of any woman he wanted.
Yet, there was only one woman on his mind who happened to be me.
There was a huge problem with that.
I’d convinced myself he was nothing but a deceitful, cheating, heartbreaker, and swore I was done with him.
When he showed up uninvited at my house late one night, looking deliciously sexy and seductive, my resistance vanished like a puff of smoke.
Then I did something totally absurd.
I suggested a harebrained scheme for him to win me back.
He had six short months to accomplish it.
If he couldn’t win my heart and gain my trust by then, we’d go our separate ways.
Justin eagerly accepted the challenge.
And what happened next?
My vow to withstand his charm crumbled and I gave in to the explosive passion between us.
Within weeks, we were deeply involved.
The fairy tale we were living took a disastrous turn when my brother, the ex con and drug addict, showed up, sending me down a dark and twisted path.
Would we make it through, or would our lives be destroyed forever?
Shattered Edge is a stand alone, spicy, enemies to lovers, second chances romance with a HUGE twist. It contains secrets, mystery, and a happy ever after. Don’t miss out on this one!

Kyle Robbins: Seattle’s rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he’s also my new client… and fake boyfriend?
I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I’m quickly reminded how much he still haunts me.
I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn’t having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn’t exist at all.
The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It’s worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me—and suddenly, he’s interested in much more than just being a client.
Before I know it, I’m wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good.
But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it’s not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we’re playing.
Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can’t help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.
Kandi Steiner is a #1 Amazon Bestselling Author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tennessee. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. Her love for writing started at the ripe age of 10, and in 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, hiking, yoga, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

After saving a woman from an armed robber at a truck stop, former soldier John Lucky is more than happy to take her number, even if she does print it out on a lottery ticket. He’s even more happy when that ticket wins the lottery and he can take himself and his Army bud Davey down to Florida so they can live the good life in the paradise that is the Gulf Coast.
Drinks, girls, and good times take a backseat to trouble, though, when ‘Lucky John’ (as the papers dubbed him) finds himself entangled in a murder investigation that might send the luckiest man in the world down the river for a crime he didn’t commit.
She stepped up to my side in a dark club and ordered a whiskey.
My go-to drink.
I didn’t know her name, I knew nothing about her, but every part of me came alive.
For more than a year my life had been turned upside down. I’d hit a wall at every turn, but suddenly the weight had lifted.
And the minute she stepped away, I felt the loss.
Things are not always as they seem.
We all have regrets; parts of our lives we wish we could erase.
For me, I wish I could change the order in which those choices were made.
Had I only met her first.
Had it been her that said yes.
Brynn is everything I could ever want, the problem is, my past may keep us from ever having a future.
Because before we were us, I was a version of myself I’d like to forget.
But that version of me has not yet been laid completely to rest.
“Last night was incredible,” he confesses. “Knocked me on my ass, sweetheart, right on my ass.”
His powerful shoulders flex. “Don’t want you to think for a minute that what we shared doesn’t have me wanting to skip out on all the shit I have waiting for me at the station.”
“I’ve got a lot of things at work to get through this week too.” I don’t want him to think I need some kind of reassurance that he didn’t just show up at my place in the middle of the night to get laid.
He is watching me and I can’t quite gauge what he’s thinking. A tormented look is in his eyes, and he watches rescanning over my face, still holding me close.
“Babe, I don’t think you get what I’m saying.” Again he skims over my lips with his, sending chills across my back and down my arms. “I don’t want to leave.” He holds my stare. “I don’t know where the hell you came from, Brynn, but you’ve got me all tied up.”

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.

💙Review💙
Jensen’s life is complicated by the mistakes he has made in the past. Meeting Brynn has him believing that happy days are ahead but the secret he is keeping could derail everything.
Brynn is cautious when it comes to love because of her romantic past however that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t hope that Jensen is different. Just when she starts to let him break through her walls, she realizes that she might have never known him at all.
Brynn and Jensen’s story is one of new beginnings and healing from the past as even though the timing may not be perfect sometimes the best things in life happen when you least expect it.
“Let me take you home, Poppy.” He says softly. “I know you hate me. I get it. But I just want to make sure you get home safe.” His head tilts slightly. “Let me do that, please.”
“No,” I say, shaking my head, though I can’t stop my hard exterior from melting the slightest bit. “I don’t want to go anywhere with you.”
“I can’t just leave you here, Pop.” He drawls the words so smoothly, and my heart races. It’s like I’m seeing the old Walker. My Walker.
My heart and my head are so confused. I know I should push him backward and not fall for his charm. But God, he makes it so hard. And when his hand reaches for me, brushes a strand of loose hair from my cheek, tucking it behind my ear, I’m completely frozen. I should get up and run away. Yet, instead, I melt to the slightest touch. My breath hitches, and I wait to see what he’ll do next.
Crouching down so that he’s at eye level with me, his gaze flicks to my lips. If he kissed me right now…I’m not sure if I could resist it. I know it wouldn’t be the right thing to do, but I’ve wanted him for so long.
Waited for him for so long.
His head dips closer, and on instinct, my eyes flutter a few times before closing. My heart pumps so hard that I hear it in my ears as I wait for his kiss. My first kiss ever. And just when I think he’s going to kiss me, his hands slide to my waist, and he quickly throws me over his shoulder before standing up.
Walking toward his truck, it takes me a few seconds to realize what is happening. But when I do…I’m pissed off. “You…you—” I start to growl through gritted teeth.
“Got you all fucking hot and bothered just so that I could get you in my truck without getting punched in the dick?” I can hear the smirk in his voice. “Yeah, Poppyseed. I sure did.”
Pulling the door open, he acts like my body flailing as I fight him is nothing. Quickly, he drops me down in the seat. “Poppy, Poppy, Poppy,” he drawls slowly. “You should know better. You really think I’d kiss you after all you’ve done?”
“I don’t want to kiss you, prick.” I hiss. “You’re the last person I’d ever want to kiss!”
His smirk only deepens, clearly amused and looking at me like a mockery. “When your lips parted, and your eyes shut…that told me otherwise.” Pulling the seatbelt around me, his hand brushes my thigh as he secures it. And damnit if I don’t feel another lightning bolt shoot right between my legs. “Nice gothic nails to match your soul.’’
“Fuck off,” I hiss.
“Know this, Poppyseed. When it comes to me, you won’t win. You won’t win the battles, and you sure as hell won’t be winning any wars.” Patting his hand on my head, he taps his finger on my nose. “Remember that.”
As he closes the door and walks around to the driver’s side, I’m ashamed of myself for being so pathetic tonight. I gave him the power and let him see the effects he still has on me.
But he’s wrong about one thing. I may have lost this battle. But I’m sure as hell going to win the war.
Blurb:
I never looked back the day I left Sunset Drive. If I did, I knew that I would never leave the hellhole I had grown to despise, a place I began plotting my escape from as a child. The only difference was that I always thought she’d be by my side on the day I was finally free.
The day I left it all behind was the day my hatred for the entire Wilson family was born. Poppy included. After all, she had lied to the police just to protect her monstrous father after he got my parents killed. From that day forward, I decided she needed to be dead to me. They all did. The only thing that mattered from then on was the one thing that had never let me down. Hockey.
She may haunt me in my dreams during those three years we were apart, but that was nothing compared to now when I’m forced to see her at Brooks University. Slowly, my grip on everything else in my life begins to slip away as she becomes the only thing that matters. And when I find her in an alleyway, battered and bruised from two attackers who vow to return for her…I decide right then that I am going to protect her at all costs.
But protecting her means making a deal with the devil, also known as my rich uncle. A deal that will mean I will never get the chance to spend forever with the only girl I’ve ever loved. Poppy Wilson.
It’s a high price to pay, but when it comes to her safety, I have no limits.
One-night stands are supposed to be normal at this age right? Go to a bar, pick a hot guy, have a little fun and then you run.
Or at least that’s what I thought, until my first and only one-night stand ended up being the night I got knocked up by a stranger I had never laid eyes on before.
Sure, he was the perfect guy for the job. He was sexy in the way that attracted every female within 100 yards of him. His voice was smooth, and he knew exactly what to say to get into my panties, clearly.
Eye roll.
I wasn’t on birth control. Now I’ve peed on two sticks and they both say the same thing.
Those two little lines have changed my future forever. You want to know what the worst part is? I have no idea what the name of the father is.
Kyle
I’m a bachelor. I never sleep with the same woman twice, I like variety.
But when she walks into the bar, she takes my attention immediately. When she agrees to leave with me, I’ve hit the jackpot.
Then I run into her in my sister’s office, the last place I expected to see her. I never thought I’d see her again. Except this time, she has something to tell me. Something that will change my world forever.
Our one night together, turned out to be so much more.

Dear Grumpy Horrible Boss,
You suck as a lawyer. I don’t even know how you passed the bar. Just in case you didn’t know, you can’t fire me just because I have a part-time job working bachelor parties. What I do on the weekend is none of your business and not a part of my employment contract.
As soon as I get my big break as an actress, I will be leaving your employ. I am literally counting down the days. You must be dreaming if you think I’m going to be working 6am-9pm for the next month just so you won’t report me to HR. Go ahead and report me.
See if I care Mr. Wanna-be hotshot playboy lawyer. You’re not that hot and I do not want you.
Also, stop emailing me at night with lists of to-do’s.
Your not very well paid assistant,
Lila Haversham
Lila,
I hope you can count to infinity because that’s how many more days you’re going to be working for me. If your acting is as good as your dancing, you’re not going to be making it anytime soon.
Five words of advice: Don’t quit the day job.
Your very well paid and handsome boss,
Max Spector
P.S. A new phone will be arriving tonight so we can communicate via text and not email. Or if you’d rather, we can communicate from my bed. Or do you not remember our conversation from Saturday night?

🏒Review🏒
Foster is a professional hockey player who had managed to maintain an amicable custody agreement with his ex for their ten-year-old daughter Bowie Jane. That is about to change when his ex wants to relocate to Singapore and take their daughter with him and he isn’t about to let that happen without a fight.
The family that Mazzy has recently been a nanny for are moving overseas however she doesn’t want to leave her family behind. When she is recommended to be Bowie Jane’s nanny, she has her reservations until she sees how devoted he is to his daughter.
It was wonderful to see how Foster and Mazzy both wanted to ensure that Bowie Jane was comfortable with their developing romance each step of the way and always put her first. Not only is the relationship between Foster and Mazzy heartwarming but they each also shared a special relationship with Bowie Jane. Both narrators did a great job of bringing the characters and their story to life.
