There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

Nixon Swagger had learned a few things as a Navy SEAL—adapt, improvise, and overcome were among the many. In the middle of an inferno, so ominous even Dante wouldn’t buy a ticket, Nixon must adapt to his new surroundings and overcome multiple threats before he loses the woman he loves.

It was supposed to be a fantasy-fueled, one-night stand, something to make me shed my good girl inhibitions. Imagine my shock when the sexy stranger I spent the night with showed up the next morning at a breakfast my grandmother was hosting. When he took me back to my hotel, one night turned into a weekend. That was where it was supposed to end. I flew back to Las Vegas, thinking I'd never see the emotionally unavailable Wilson McCray again. He had other plans.

Reese Turmel has sworn off women. Commitment wasn’t something he was willing to consider again after his wife cheated on him while he was on deployment.

Sloane Ellis has a secret—actually, she has many. Working in a sex club wasn't part of her life plan, yet neither was her best friend vanishing without a trace. The club and her missing friend go hand and hand. One secret leads to another, until the lies pile up. After months of working in the club her friend frequented, Sloane's no closer to finding answers, the police have no leads, and time is quickly running out. The last thing Sloane needs is the newest member of Club Joi, Adam Newcomb, complicating her mission and stealing her heart. Yet with one kiss, she falls....

I was the daughter of Satan. The sister of Zeus. An unwitting outlaw motorcycle club princess that was my legacy—the past I knew I’d never outrun. I just didn’t know that would mean literally. Now I had two choices: risk my father finding me and selling me to pay off a debt, or marry a deliciously hot stranger who hated me. Fake marriage it was. Now I just had to safeguard my heart and not fall for my fake husband. That should’ve been easy. Davis Wright despised my brother and he was a judgmental jerk.

I was not prepared for the man who showed up at my bookstore. River Kent was tall—so damn tall, good-looking, so damn hot he took my breath, crystal blue eyes, so damn captivating I couldn’t look away. But mostly, he was a bossy, straightforward, tell-no-lies type of man. Which didn’t work for me, since I’d been lying through my teeth for years denying my true feelings. More than that, I was not prepared to face River months after my sister had been murdered. I wasn’t ready to deal with the knowledge that she was gone and in the weeks leading up to her death I’d turned my back on her.

I’ve spent years keeping control—on the job and at home. My daughter is my world, my badge is my duty, and I don’t let anyone close enough to become a weakness. Then Josie Lark walked into my life. Classy, gorgeous, stubborn as hell. One night with her should’ve been enough, but now I can’t stop thinking about the way she looks at me, or how easily she slips past the defenses I’ve built. She’s trouble I can’t afford—and the one risk I can’t resist.

I don’t lose control. I don’t trust. And I don’t let anyone close enough to ruin me. I’ve survived by being sharper, colder, and smarter than everyone who’s ever tried to own me. My life is built on secrets, hard choices, and a promise I can’t afford to break. I have an endgame—and it doesn’t include temptation. Then Cash Phillips stepped into my orbit. He sees too much. Pushes too hard.

There had been a time I’d been happy - blissfully happy - then a single act of brutality tore Thaddeus Bench from my life. Emerson Pierce was my own personal hell. The agony of her betrayal, still as sharp as it was the day I’d come home to find her gone. Now, my team needs answers from Emerson to stop a criminal mastermind. And I can’t trust a damn thing that comes out of her pretty mouth. Emerson’s no longer the sweet girl I fell for - she’s the girlfriend of a notorious drug runner and dog fighter. Or, at least that’s what I thought.

We met in a bar. The sex was phenomenal. Then I walked away. That’s where our story should’ve ended. But he found me. Now he knows my real name, my secrets, and all the details of my sordid past. I’m out for revenge, and no one will stop me; not even the pragmatic Zane Lewis. If he thinks he can silence me with the promise of more mind-bending sex, he’s wrong.

This may be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this: a prickly, five-foot-nothing hellcat Jasmin Smith. She was mine. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end, I would have her every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know.

When a one-night stand turns into a friends with benefits agreement, he starts to question why he's holding the beautiful Reagan at arm's length. Nolan Clark should've been off-limits. He's my closest friend's teammate and a man that I'm not prepared for. I lied and told him I understood he'd never offer me a white picket fence and jumped straight into bed when he offered me the only thing he could...sex.

In her line of work it is a necessity.
