Tempting Venom

Vipers · Book 3

When two ruthless enemies collide. My name is Preston Armstrong, and I'm the most depraved bastard you'll ever meet. I take what I want, ruin what I don't, and live exactly how I please. That is, until I crash into the force of nature that is Marcus Osborn. Captain of our rival hockey team, and the perpetual thorn in my side. A migraine in human form and the one person who refuses to play by my rules. He's my brand of heartless and just as deranged. I set out to crush him, his career, and his infuriatingly gorgeous face. But Marcus hits back with equal force, turning our rivalry into a violent, addictive dance neither of us can walk away from. We were supposed to annihilate each other. Instead, we spark a fire that threatens to devour everything in its path. In this battle of two unhinged souls, our bodies become collateral damage. But I never expected our stone-cold hearts to get involved.

The Love Hypothesis

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year PhD candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships — but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor — and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding... six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

The Score

Off-Campus · Book 3

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands. Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls... he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world — and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring... and shoot for love.

Frozen Heart

Perfectly Imperfect · Book 12

ADRIANO. Love. What a pathetic, absurd illusion. A fairy tale spun for weak, useless bastards, too blind to grasp the world as it truly is. The world is a rotting, godforsaken wasteland where only lies and deception thrive. Everyone wears a mask. Everyone hides a blade. There are no saints here. I swore by that claim for years, until I met her. A single innocent soul in a world drenched in sin. A ray of sunshine in the bottomless black abyss, a delicate flower from whom I must stay as far away as possible. I can't. I am going to steal her light, even knowing it was never meant for me. IRIS. Love. The most powerful feeling in the world. It can make you soar through the gates of heaven, or willingly descend into the fires of Hell, just to save the person you refuse to live without. And I do just that. I tie myself to a man who is uncaring of anything except wealth and power. A man who believes that everything can be bought, including a person's life. He has no mercy. No soul. Only ice in his terrible, frozen heart.

Bride to the Fiend Prince

Dark Rulers · Book 1

Drugged to prevent resistance, she's swept away to the dark, tortured kingdom of Terelaus, where she is forced to marry the Fiend Prince. When Amarylla holds a dagger to his throat on their wedding night, she and the Prince come to a tenuous arrangement of their own. But he may not be the greatest danger lurking in the Cursed Palace.

His Empress

Empire of Royals · Book 3

SIENNA ROSSI. My life has never been my own. As sister to the Don of New York, the Mafia controls every aspect of my life except one: my secret life behind my computer screen. So when I'm invited to Paris for the summer to study under the best hackers in the world, I jump at the chance. Paris gives me fun, freedom, and an anonymous whirlwind romance... until I realize I didn't return to New York alone. The two pink lines on the pregnancy test change everything — and threaten the stability of my brother's empire. Then the man I never thought I'd see again walks through the door: DIMITRI IVANOV, head of the Russian Bratva and father of my child. He thinks I trapped him; I think he's an asshole. But Dimitri needs an heir, and I need to protect my family. A marriage of convenience solves both our problems... but at what cost?

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.
