The Chase

Briar U · Book 1

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerdjocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me.

Bratva Menace

Bratva · Book 5

Lukyan Volkov. It was my time to motherfucking shine. I've always been underestimated — my personality kind of ensured that. I liked to joke around, have fun, make people laugh. Being underestimated came with the territory, and that was okay. But now I had the chance to prove myself. To show I wasn't just the idiot class clown of the Bratva. To do the impossible: kill the patriarch of our family. My grandfather, Sergei Volkov. There was a plan in place, one that involved an arranged marriage. There was just one small problem. My stalker would never allow it. Lyla. From the moment I saw him, he was mine. Lukyan Volkov. Handsome, broad-shouldered, with golden retriever energy and a soul that yearned to be dominated. He was everything to me. My whole world. For the better part of a year and a half, I've stalked him. Broken into his house just to watch him sleep. Catalogued his every move. I couldn't stay away, even if I tried. Our connection transcended everything. I was obsessed. I knew that. Understood that. And I didn't fucking care. Nothing and no one would ever come between us.

The Sea Witch

Beloved Villains · Book 1

And the malevolent Sea Witch is all too happy to offer a deal that could make all her dreams come true. He wants her to win the prince's heart — even coaches her in the art of seduction. But what is the real price of his help? Why is he more brutally beautiful — and more charming — than Averil expected? A dark, spicy, and absolutely irresistible retelling of The Little Mermaid, with the villain as the love interest.

Devious Lies

Cruel Crown · Book 1

I'm no longer the town's prized princess. At twenty-two, I'm broke, in need of a job. At thirty-two, he's a billionaire, in need of revenge. Who cares if my family ruined his? Who cares if he looks at me with pure loathing? Who cares if every task he assigns me is designed to torture? I need the money. Simple as that.
