Protected by Saint

About Protected by Saint

Jade
When my roommate and best friend set me up with a job interview, I was grateful. I’d never been a server at a club before, but I had some waitressing experience, so how hard could it be? But when I arrived at the club, I realized I’d fallen into my worst nightmare. The club owner wasn’t interested in hiring any servers, that was merely a ruse to lure innocent girls like me into a trap. Before I’d even processed what’s happening, I was center stage being auctioned off to the highest bidder in a room full of cruel, rich men. They all wanted to win me for one night, to be the one to take my virginity. But the man who outbid the rest is nothing like I expected. No, he’s angry and terrifying, but his ire is for the men who dared traffic women in his territory. He whisks me away to safety just as the sound of gunshots fills the air. But once I learn who this man is, I have to ask myself if I’m ready to step into a world of crime and danger. Is Saint worth upending my whole life? Does he even want me for more than a few nights, or was he just playing at being a hero?

Saint
Being the president of a notorious motorcycle club comes with plenty of perks, but also a lot of headaches. One such headache is the man I followed to a seedy nightclub deep in Steel Rebels territory. I would have been content to grab my prey and leave if not for the vision of beauty who graces the stage shortly after my arrival. When I realize what’s really happening at this club—what these scum dared to do in my territory—I decide it’s time to remind the city who the Steel Rebels are and just what will happen if anyone crosses us. But first, I have to claim my winnings, and she’s just as beautiful and sweet as she looked on stage, and even more terrified up close. The pull I feel for Jade is immense, but I refuse to traumatize her further. Instead, I take her home and offer her safe place to stay. I’ll let her get settled in and rest for a bit before letting her know that, while I won’t force her to stay, my heart is telling me that Jade is mine, and I’ll do anything to have and to hold her for the rest of my life.

Welcome to the Steel Rebels MC, where these rebels blur the lines of morally gray and keep you guessing. This is a “lite” MC, insta-love, alpha heroes, standalones, and full HEA guaranteed.

Follow along as Saint leads the charge of this exciting motorcycle club series. He might even call in a favor or two from his cousin, Priest, President of the Steel Order MC. These guys know exactly what they want and will stop at nothing to claim what’s theirs. Enjoy your next swoon-worthy binge read!

Riding with My Secret Crush

About Riding with My Secret Crush

This was supposed to be a boring trip across country with nothing but my sister’s playlist to keep me company until I saw her. Iris isn’t familiar, even though she says we went to college together. I don’t remember, which is too bad because this curvy little blonde has completely captured my attention. Especially when she mentions a wine festival. On a whim, I offer to let her ride with me.

I have six states to get to know her, but it only takes one for me to fall hard. She’s sexy, easy to talk to, and impossible not to notice. The longer we are on the road, the more I question the legend of Bluebell Pointe, but there’s something she’s keeping from me. Something that’s holding her back, but I won’t give up. This isn’t just a trip. It’s the beginning of something that feels like so much more. She might be the detour I never saw coming, but having her at my side is the only way I want this trip to end.

Decoy in Stilettos

About Decoy in Stilettos

Catching cheaters was Ryan O’Flannagan’s specialty—until she became the hunted.

Ryan O’Flannagan thought running a decoy agency for suspicious spouses was the perfect post-divorce hustle—until a client’s husband drops dead mid-sting.

And the man observing the chaos? Her frenemy, Gabriel Marchetti—annoyingly hot, infuriating, and way too good at reading her. Turns out, he might be the only thing standing between her and a premature obituary.

The Russian mob is coming for her, and Ryan has no idea why. Amidst deadly threats, secrets, and electric chemistry that could melt steel, Ryan and Gabe are forced into an uneasy alliance.

He’s stoic, protective, commanding, and believes her decoy agency is a personal insult to law enforcement. She’s feisty, saucy, and determined to push his buttons at every turn.

Her life is chaos. Her love life? Messy, complicated, and impossible to ignore.

As enemies close in, the line between survival and disaster is razor-thin.

One wrong move—and it could end them both.

A witty, edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense with a twist of humour, about love, danger, and a woman who defies the odds in a deadly game of survival.

He lives by the rules. She trusts only her instincts. When a raging wildfire traps them together, the only thing more dangerous than the flames is their explosive attraction.

But when a sudden shift in the wind leaves them cut off from their crews and forced to take shelter in a remote cabin, the fire outside is no match for the heat building between them. With no way out, the disciplined lieutenant and the impulsive smokejumper must trust each other to survive.

About Love’s Mischief by Alysha Ito

♥ Can you outsmart Cupid on the battlefield of love? ♥

Lea Parker has no time for romance.

Fancy rooftop dinners? Nope. Cozy candlelit meals? Hard pass. Her ideal night? A bed cocoon and surgical videos.

As a workaholic surgical resident, Lea’s life is perfectly planned: save lives, work hard, and become the world’s best surgeon. But when she accidentally saves Cupid—yes, the Cupid—her life spirals into romantic chaos. His way of saying thanks? Dragging her into the one thing she’s been avoiding: love.

Suddenly, Lea’s juggling a charming billionaire, her childhood best friend’s swoon-worthy confessions, and her infuriatingly brilliant boss—who knows exactly how to push her buttons (and not in a professional way).

Determined to fight back, Lea launches her own hilarious counterattacks, from frantic running to binge-eating and even an epic tennis match. But as sparks fly and unexpected emotions surface, Lea wonders if the real battle isn’t with Cupid—but with her own heart.

As Cupid stirs the pot, who will win this war of love?

When the good girl falls…

Sierra

Over a decade ago, I aimed too high when I fell for my brother’s best friend. So I settled for someone else. And then got dumped. And now I’m dangling from a fence waiting for my dream guy to rescue me. Yes, it’s all connected. And yes, it all started with a stupid game of Never Have I Ever. And yes, I’m too old for that game. But then Hunter saves me, sweeps me off of my feet, and announces he’s staying overnight to make sure I don’t have a concussion. It’ll be fine. I’m the good girl. Until he kisses me.

Hunter

I’ve always loved her. But I can’t have her because she’s got a boyfriend. Yup. She is completely off limits. But tell that to my heart. And other body parts. I’ve been aching for her for a decade. And in this small town it’s hard not to run into my best friend’s sister.

Then she calls me one night because—get this—she’s stuck in a fence.

I’m there in a heartbeat, and I’ll use any excuse to be near her. Now that she’s in my arms, it’s hard to let go. But when she tells me she’s single? Oh man, all bets are off. I’m in, and I’m about to make the most of this one night with her. And that means showing her that even good girls can get a little dirty.
