Now working alongside a sexy and cocky agent who happens to be the same man who broke my heart ten years ago when he vanished from my life. I loved him then, but I hate him now. Right? Lies and secrets surround us while inside the cult’s compound, forcing us together and blurring the boundaries of our fake marriage. Past feelings are rekindled, making our time alone burn hotter than ever. When the truth comes to light and the depravity of the leader is exposed, can we both make it out alive or will he leave me again, this time for good?
Mine to Shield is a standalone, dual point of view, forced proximity, dark romantic suspense. Each book in the Protection Series can be read as a standalone, but because of character crossover, they are best read in order. Please note this book is for mature readers due to detailed sexual content, foul language, violence, and discussion of abuse.
💙Review💙 Millie is a professor who is known in her field due to in depth knowledge of cults and shares her knowledge with the FBI. When they approach her about a person who is missing, she doesn’t hesitate to assist but she never expected that it would bring her first and only love who disappeared a decade ago back into her life.
Killian is an FBI agent who may not have been able to be with Millie but that doesn’t mean that he has been out of her life. When they are asked to work a case together it was as if they were never apart however, they find themselves not only dealing with the dangerous undercover assignment but what drove them apart and has been keeping them apart.
Millie and Killian are exactly what the other needs in their life and it is finally their time. They take us on a romantic and suspenseful adventure filled with surprises that you won’t be able to put down.
She’s my best friend’s wife. I made him a promise I never thought I’d have to keep.
Now I’m about to dishonor him in the worst possible way…
River
I thought the hardest thing I’d ever have to do was bury my husband, my best friend, and the father of the child growing inside me.
Little did I know my husband asked his friend Storm to watch over me should anything happen.
Now that the worst has happened, or so I thought, Storm has me moved in with him.
A cabin in the Montana woods seems like a great place to hide for the battle ahead of us. Plus, now the pesky pregnancy hormones have me feeling the kinds of things I shouldn’t be for Storm.
I bet that poor man can’t wait to get rid of me…
Storm
My life in the mountains was simple and quiet… until River.
When my best friend Jason made me promise to take care of his pregnant wife, I never imagined I’d have to keep it.
Now, the woman I promised to protect is under my roof and under my skin.
But not everyone seems ready to let Jason rest in peace, and River might be the one to pay the price.
I made a vow to protect her, and I will do whatever it takes to keep that promise, even if it means letting her go and having her take my heart with her…

I’m not sure I can trust him, but I can’t just walk away. Even if it hurts in the end.
Even though it has taken a nearly devastating even Camden has realized that he wants Cassie in his life. After what happened between them, he knows that it will not be easy, but he is determined to show her that he will be the man she needs him to be.

When she finally gave into the chemistry between them, she believed it was a beginning, but she soon finds out she could not have been more wrong and now she must decide if she is willing to trust him with her heart once again.

✨TEASER: A MAJOR PUCK UP by @authorbrittaneenicole is coming May 31!
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 💙Best Friend’s Daughter 🔥Single Dad 💙Age Gap 🔥Hockey Romance 💙Revenge 🔥Forbidden 💙Mysterious Baby on a doorstep
There are only a few rules I live by: enjoy life, smile as often as possible, and don’t ever let a woman come between friends.
Oh and hockey is life.
For the past forty years I’ve done an excellent job at every single one of them.
Until Millie Hall.
To be fair, I had no idea who she was that first night. Can’t say the same about the second.
Finding out that the mystery girl who turned my world upside down was the twin sister of my star left winger and my best friend’s twenty-two year old daughter is less than ideal.
Hiding our relationship from not only her father but my brothers, nearly impossible.
But my best friend makes it incredibly difficult to walk away from his daughter when he keeps thrusting her in my direction.
As a single dad, I have a whole set of new rules, but one thing remains, falling for Millie Hall would be a major puck up.
From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
“Mine.”
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.
I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.
And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

My name is Ellie Troy, and my brother, Arden, would kill me if he knew what I was up to. I’m not even kidding.
It involves hot hockey player Nils Sten. He plays for the Atlanta Thunder and happens to be my overprotective brother’s best friend and teammate.
He’s also my secret crush.
Unfortunately for me, Arden wouldn’t approve of anything happening between me and Nils. Not now, not ever.
Too bad, because I’m going to make it happen—Nils will be mine, maybe for just one night of fun, or maybe for forever.
***
My name is Nils Sten, and hockey is my life. So much so that I haven’t had a serious girlfriend in ages. That’s okay; I find companionship when I need it.
And now it seems I’m about to have a whole lot of it. Not in any kind of a romantic sense. More in a roommate sort of way. See, my best friend and teammate’s little sister, Ellie, is about to move into my house. Yeah, under my roof…with a bedroom down the hall from mine.
God help me.
It’s all my fault, really. I opened my big mouth and offered for her to stay. Now I wish I hadn’t. Problem is, Ellie is beyond beautiful. She’s smart too. She’s really everything I’ve ever wanted.
Too bad she’s off-limits.
Now I just need to keep reminding myself of that…

Cover Design: Sarah Paige
I never imagined I’d be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when he’s a famous football player, and I’m just a therapist they can easily replace.
The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friend…even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Dean’s helping me fix my grandma’s old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation.
Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like he’s sparked life into me.
My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans.
But sometimes challenges lead us back to where we’re meant to be.
In the heart of Alabama, lies a charming little town on the river, where everyone knows your name… and your business.
Follow the intertwined lives of its beloved residents as they navigate first love, second chances, and all the unexpected surprises that their small-town holds.
Welcome to Magnolia Grove, where every neighbor has a story worth unraveling, the roots run deep, and love blossoms around every corner.
