"Yes," I snapped. "I wouldn't die for her."
Chris turned around to stare at me, her mouth hanging open.
"Do you want to know why?" I asked steadily. "I wouldn't die for her because I wouldn't be able to protect her any more. What if I missed one of the people who hurt her? I couldn't take that risk. She's too important."

Happy Endings? I don’t think so.

In the town of Goat, Oregon, the two cocky doctors who run the Clinic of Love don’t just provide medical care.

Nope. These doctors are notorious for their bedside manner, if you know what I mean. Women come in desperate for a good time, and leave extra-satisfied.

Not me.

I’m a reporter. Doctors like Declan Wilde and Blake Thorpe give the entire medical profession a bad name, and I’m determined to expose them.

Even if having a threesome is prominently featured on my Sex Bucket List.

Even if their washboard abs cause my girl-bits to spontaneously combust.

Even if I really want to make a special appointment with them, and I would love a 'happy ending' of my own.

This story is going to get written. I will destroy these cocky doctors.


Her Cocky Doctors is a standalone MFM menage romance that is all about the woman. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and of course, Happily-ever-after guaranteed!

Jay lives by his luck
Well I'm gonna deal him a wildcard.
I'm carrying his baby.

He’s a rags to riches story.
Bad boy, turned world-class poker player.
And of course, he’s irresistible;
Ocean-blue eyes, and rugged good looks,
Filthy-rich and filthy-minded.
He’s cocky as the King of Spades,
Mine, if only for a night.

But he left me something to remember him by,
He put an ace in the hole.
I’m going to up the ante,
I’m gonna tell him he’s got a lucky baby on the way.

This is a full-length romance, with steamy love scenes, a beautiful HEA and utterly no cliffhangers. Also included are some previously released bonus books, completely free!

Maybe dating the good guy, isn’t so bad.

When Rex Somersby’s family matchmaker sets him up with the famous Evelyn Cadeau, he can’t believe his luck. Evelyn is the woman with the perfect Gift—the woman every man wants—while Rex’s own magical ability leaves much to be desired. He travels from Missouri to meet his dream girl in her rural Mississippi home, where Evelyn makes it clear that winning her heart won’t be an easy task. Good thing farm-boy Rex has never been afraid of a little hard work.

Evelyn Cadeau is used to getting her way. As the woman with the most powerful Gift, she knows she can have her pick of anyone she wants. And who she wants is slick, handsome, and off-limits Guy McCallister—not gawky, buttoned-up Rex Somersby. Yet, after an arranged date with Rex takes a dramatic turn, leading to a bottle of wine and sneaking to the creek for a late night skinny dip, she realizes there may be more to by-the-rules Rex than meets the eye.

Just as the young couple start to think their family’s tradition of matchmaking isn’t quite so backward, Rex is drafted to Vietnam. With war threatening to tear them apart, will love be able to save them? Or will it take a bit of magic?

In 2035, Dr. Janet Hogan makes a stunning discovery: infected by five species of naturally-mutated viruses, every one of earth’s nine billion inhabitants has become immortal.
Or have they? By the time Janet learns that this immortality is an illusion, it’s too late to change people’s beliefs. Some love her for creating this miracle and the coming paradise they long for. Others hate her for what they see ahead: immoral behavior without consequence, overpopulation, famine, and worse. Zealots demand that she save people’s souls, humanity, the earth… or the viruses. Or else.
Janet realizes this awful truth: no matter what she does, no matter what anyone else wants, sooner or later, billions will die and she’ll be blamed. Will she live long enough to figure a way out of this trap?
Meanwhile, the viruses are still mutating.

How’s this for an idea – read this book as part one and the earlier books as prequel?
Here’s all you need to know to get started. Chris Johnson is an unwilling badass. He’s had to fight himself into and out of hundreds of dangerous situations. He’s been a hitman and chased by hitmen. He’s worked for the CIA and been hunted by the CIA. He’s been tortured, beaten and shot – multiple times. And returned the favor.
Currently he’s feeling a little old for all this. Let’s face it, badassery is a young guy’s game. So he’s gone to ground in Nebraska, off the grid and living on a stipend from a satisfied client. But things never quite go right for long for Johnson, and wouldn’t you know it, things go badly wrong.
Forced to make an unscheduled withdrawal from the bank, under fire, he discovers that his satisfied client has been kidnapped, and he has no more money. Penniless, and convinced to track down and save this client by an old friend, he is off and running. Shooting his way from Bangkok to Paris and Istanbul, with a short layover in the Syrian desert, he slowly discovers the truth.
The truth has never been good to Johnson, but when he finally works out what’s going on, you know he’ll make somebody pay the ultimate price for their deception.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, but someone still needs to do the paperwork.
Incomprehensible horrors from beyond are going to devour our world but that’s no excuse to get all emotional about it. Morag Murray works for the secret government organisation responsible for making sure the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible.
In her first week on the job, Morag has to hunt down a man-eating starfish, solve a supernatural murder and, if she’s got time, prevent her own inevitable death.
The first book in a new comedy series by the creators of ‘Clovenhoof’, Oddjobs is a sideswipe at the world of work and a fantastical adventure featuring amphibian wannabe gangstas, mad old cat ladies, ancient gods, apocalyptic scrabble, fish porn, telepathic curry and, possibly, the end of the world before the weekend.

It was never supposed to be permanent. So why does it feel like forever?

Alexis Davies knows how to dig deep, but even the curvy archaeologist wasn't ready to find a dragon in Greece. They both want the same thing and getting it means a fake marriage, and fast. After that, well, she can go back to being who she is.

But what if she can't imagine life without the enraging, hotheaded, brutally determined dragon billionaire anymore?

Galen Calder is a dragon with the weight of his family on his shoulders. The youngest of three, he has picked up slack where his brothers fell short, but for the first time in his life, he has a problem that money and power can't solve. He needs to become the Alpha, and every Alpha needs the right woman by his side. What was supposed to be something quick and easy, an ends to a means, turns out to be so much more.

He's met his greatest challenge. And it was going to be her all along, consequences be damned.

What would you be willing to sacrifice for those you love?

Entertaining, mesmerizing laugh-out-loud, emotional Regency romance adventures.

I've got a big dick and an even bigger bank account. That's pretty much where my bio ends. Honestly, I don't need to say anything else. I've just sold 99 percent of women on going home with me. Do I sound like an asshole to you? That's because I am. And guess what? It works for me just fine. Or at least it did...until I met her.

Books talk about sparks flying. F--k that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm. Only one problem: She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest f--king night of my life. Now I've had a taste of unicorn pussy - the sweetest, rarest of all pussy - and I need it again. So what's an asshole to do? I took this problem to the street, a missed connection gone viral. And when I find her? I'm keeping her.

Outsmarting the castle's wards and booby traps turns into a daily challenge, and Lana and her companions hope that's the worst they face.
