I was upfront about what I could bring to the table—no holding back … off the charts pleasure before saying goodbye.
Then I met her … Felicity Kennedy.
She agreed to my terms, but I’d soon realize that one night wasn’t enough.
Good thing it was a vacation fling, and I’d be flying home the next morning.
When she sat down beside me on the flight back to the States, I knew I needed more.
Felicity
I didn’t have time for men.
Not only were they too much work … they were trouble.
I’d been burned before and had no intentions of opening up my heart again.
Until him … Dante Montgomery.
He was a man I didn’t see coming and one I knew I’d never forget.
After saying our goodbyes, we went our separate ways, but I kept running into him.
When he turns out to be my new boss, I knew things were about to get messy.
★Review★
Dante has so much to achieve when it comes to his career, so he doesn’t have much time for a personal life. When he meets a sexy stranger while attending a social event out of town, he never expected to see her again let alone that she would be his employee.
After the way her last relationship ended Felicity isn’t looking for love but one night with a sexy stranger might just be what she needs to move forward. When fate keeping bringing them together the physical relationship between them continues but when her heart becomes involved choices must be made.
Neither Dante nor Felicity were looking for a relationship however their hearts didn’t agree. That doesn’t mean that they didn’t have to overcome some turmoil to overcome for them to realize it as well.
Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.
Declan I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone.
Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers.

With the anger I’ve bottled up since the morning she ditched me threatening our shot at a second chance, I know I have to take control of the situation.

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.
One night changed everything for me… I walked into that party surrounded by friends and walked out with an enemy. It’s been two years and I still have no idea why he hates me. Now, we’re forced to work together, and I’m going to enjoy getting under his skin.
Knox Finnegan
I never knew someone could annoy me as much as he does. He’s starting to break down my carefully built walls, when I really need to keep him as far away as possible. He’s a temptation I can’t afford, a desire I’ve tried to bury.
When she steps closer, swallowing up the distance between us, my breath hitches as anticipation leaps to life in my veins before flooding my system.
What the actual f*ck is that about?
My breath has never hitched once in my life.
Not even before stepping onto the ice for a championship game.
I glance at her lips. They’re plump and shiny. But not oversized like the blonde sorority chicks who were trying to have their wicked way with me.
It takes effort to force my gaze back to hers, where it stays fastened. There’s an intensity within her golden depths that makes me feel like I’m drowning.
It’s the strangest sensation.
One I don’t understand.
She tilts her chin to maintain eye contact. “Spoiler alert—I’m not going to sleep with you.”
That’s unfortunate.
“You sure about that?” I rasp.
She presses close enough for me to feel the softness of her breasts through the thin sweater she’s wearing. I can’t help but flex my chest, desperate for more contact.
“Yeah, I am. I will never sleep with you.” Seconds tick by as she carefully searches my gaze.
“The girls that were just hanging all over you are the ones you should take home.”
The edges of my lips quirk upwards. “Ahhh…so you were watching. Good to know.”
She snorts. “My point is that they would be easy. More your speed. You should stick with that.”
“Maybe I don’t want easy,” I blurt.
The throaty chuckle that escapes from her breaks the thick tension building between us.
“Of course you do. You like the thrill of the chase.”
Her smile is like a gut punch.
When I remain silent, unsure what to say, she continues. “Please. Easy is what you’re used to.”
“Interesting. I didn’t realize we knew each other so well.”
“I don’t have to know you personally to know your type. I’ve seen it a million times before.
Trust me when I say that I’m not what you’re looking for.”
Before I can fire back another response, she says, “I was just about to take off. But it was nice not meeting you.” She cocks her head. “Let’s keep it that way, shall we?”
I…
Have no words.
I’m pretty sure that my mouth is gaping wide like a small mouth bass.
With that, she takes a step in retreat. Air rushes between us, making me miss the warmth of her smaller body pressed against mine.
It’s only when she swings away and is no longer staring at me that I find my tongue. “Never say never, firecracker.”
Blurb:
Colby McNichols, otherwise known as the baby-faced assassin, is the left wing for the Western Wildcats hockey team. All he has to do is sign his name on the dotted line and he’ll play for the pros after his senior season. What I’ve heard from the girls on campus, who aren’t shy about spilling the tea, is that he’s totally earned his reputation.
And then some.
It’s just one of the reasons I choose to steer clear.
Trust me when I say that my life is complicated enough without getting tangled up with a player.
For reasons I can’t fathom, Colby has decided to insert himself in my life. Everywhere I go, there he is. Which makes holding him at a distance nearly impossible. He might be smoking hot but there’s zero point in starting something with this guy. Especially since I can’t be honest about who I am.
Unfortunately, a weekend spent in Vegas changes everything.
Turns out that our friends weren’t the only ones who tied the knot in Sin City.
I can only hope that what they say is true—what happens in Vegas stays there.
After years of breaking my back to make it in country music, a songwriter penned me a masterpiece. We’d spent a summer getting close, but when she wanted more, I walked away to become a star.
Seven years later, I’m raising my daughter alone, and my career is tanking. I need a song to put me on top. And she needs a star to save her record label.
I’ll keep it professional for as long as I can, but one look ignites a fire I’ve only ever gotten on stage. And I’m not alone.
She writes me that song during the day, and at night I make her body sing.
But she thinks I’ll take off again and keeps her heart guarded from me. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, she’s the one for me and my daughter.
And I’ll make this my last song and give up music if it convinces her this time it’s forever…
