Note to self: don’t fall in love with a gangster.

I’m the good girl: a college student who studies hard, wants to do good, and plays by the rules. I shouldn’t be falling for a guy like Darren Lee, the bad boy owner of an exclusive nightclub that, unbeknownst to me, caters to an international triad.

We’re absolutely wrong for each other. Maybe that’s why the heat between us is so sizzling hot…

But Darren’s desires run dark and wicked. Should I submit to his passions? Something tells me that if I throw caution to the wind, I could be in for a world of hurt.

If you enjoy mafia style romances with bad boy Doms and plenty of wicked heat, then get CLAIMED to steam up your reading today…

Book 1: Connor’s Baby

Too bad I figure out too late that I can’t live without her in my bed and in my life.
I have to find her.
Beg her to take me back.
Then I’ll make her beg and scream my name again.
It seemed like a good plan, till I laid eyes on her.
And discovered I’m not the only one who was keeping a secret.

Book 2: Brendan’s Baby

I’m an O’Shea. A businessman, an ex-Navy SEAL.
When I start a mission, I complete it; just like I was trained to do.
I will sweep the independent beauty off her feet,
I will convince her to stay with me forever.
And when her creep boss shows up on my island to try and stake his claim,
I will show him that no one messes with what is mine.

Book 3: Mickey’s Baby

She tries to tell me she doesn’t need my help,
But we both know that’s a lie.
I’m a good guy, an ex-SEAL who served with honor,
But there’s no line I won’t cross to protect what’s mine.
And make no mistake about it,
Karin’s all mine.

Book 4: Billy’s Baby

I told myself to keep it professional.
Too bad her smart mouth and sweet body are keeping me up at night.
She’s only here for a couple of weeks.
We have a fling, and now I want more.
In the middle of our stupid fights and explosive makeup sex,
I make sure to let her know that she’s mine.

Book 5: Tommy’s Baby

My next steps sound like the plot of a bad movie.
I check into a seedy motel, I get a job at his pub, I try to pretend like we can be just friends.
Have I gone crazy in the middle of all my madness?
We find some semblance of happiness together once again,
But I know it can’t last. Not when a man shows up looking for me.
I won’t put Tommy in danger. I’d rather break his heart all over again.

A Friessen family celebration turns tragic when the marriage of one daughter is preceded by the heartbreaking loss of another.

Three days before Sara Friessen’s wedding, her older sister, Chelsea, who is married to the son of a notorious criminal, disappears without a trace. The police have no leads, and her husband, Alaric Taft, has also gone missing. To find the couple, the Friessens must come face to face with the kind of deadly underworld they had never expected would touch their family.

Andy Friessen lives and breathes only one thing: protecting his family. He soon discovers the secret behind what has happened to his eldest daughter, and he’s plunged into a cat and mouse game, stonewalled at every turn by authorities who are supposed to be helping him. For the first time in his life, he’s forced to admit he’s in over his head. The Friessens are stronger together, so, in desperation, though he swore he never would, Andy ultimately calls for help from his cousins, Brad, Jed, and Neil.

As the cousins dig deeper into the days before the disappearance, they discover that Alaric was hiding a very dark truth, one that put a target on Chelsea’s back, and someone would have gone to great lengths to keep it from coming to light. The lines between good and bad have suddenly become blurred. All the Friessens want is a happy ending, but the more they search, the more the evidence points toward their worst fear—that their nightmare has become reality, and Chelsea could be lost to them forever.

She was here to check our cattle, not me.
The last thing I need is a sexy veterinarian to distract me.

My ex was only after money.
I learned my lesson.
No way would I let flirting with the pretty new vet,
Turn into anything more.

Tessa is sexy and I can’t get her off my mind.
So I ask her out.
Just a meet up, not really a date.
Except that blazing hot kiss made it feel like a date.

Fighting the sexual tension between us is a losing battle.
Taking her to bed is natural, incredible.
It’s just for fun. Nothing serious.

But when a strange virus starts sickening our steers,
Jeopardizing our contracts,
I know I can trust Tessa to help.

Except maybe I can’t trust her at all.
A rancher tells me Tessa dumped him because I have more money.
I fell for her, and she’s just like my ex.
I don’t know who the real fool is.
Especially when she’s keeping secrets from me.

Ryder Cane has always been one step ahead of me.

When he asks me to be his date to the grand opening gala, I know it’s just a favor to an old friend. Ryder’s so far out of my league we’re not even playing the same sport.

Besides – we tried this once before and I know how our love story ends. We burned hot and heavy for one month in high school and then he left me for the head cheerleader.

So why is he kissing me goodnight, and why am I letting him?

"The thrill ... will keep readers flipping pages well past the point where they probably should have gone to bed." - Stephani Hren for IndieReader

Laurence Riley might be able to see the future, but he can't see a way to fix his messed-up life. He can't control anything—not his supernatural talents, not his drug addiction, and not his violent ex-boyfriend. Laurence needs help and he knows it. A lifelong pagan, he turns to his god... and he gets Jack. Jack can help Laurence tame his powers and take control of his life. But it comes at a price: Laurence will need to keep him fed with regular offerings of sex. For the old Laurence, that would've been a pleasure. Problem is, Laurence has met Quentin.

Quentin is devastatingly handsome, way out of Laurence's league (like British nobility levels of out-of-his-league), and unbearably chaste. If that weren’t enough to keep Laurence away, Quentin's wild telekinesis is even more uncontrollable than Laurence's precognition. But Laurence doesn't want anyone else, and Jack is getting hungry.

Then Laurence foresees a glimpse of Jack's true plan. It will leave a trail of death across San Diego--and Laurence has been helping him do it. The past has taught him that the future can't be changed. But if Laurence and Quentin can't stop Jack, there won't be any future at all.

An epic and addictive roller coaster ride of a romance that’s unforgettably heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping, brought to you by Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Selling Author, Willow Winters.

Our love story isn't a tragedy but it sure as hell started out like one.

I grew up in the life, and learned to hate everything in this town.

Everything but her. She was my constant through it all.

Just a look would tempt and torment.
Just a touch would singe and soothe.
I only survived because she was by my side.

I feared the danger would bleed into what we had.
After all, she was too good for this world. But I was too far gone to push her away.

I was Laura’s downfall.
Problem was, she was mine too.

Hard to Love is book 1 of the Hard to Love, romantic suspense, series.
