I’m the one she should have stayed away from. The thief, the hustler, the boy without a past or a future. A kid forged by the rules of the streets.
She sees into my darkest depths and doesn’t blink an eye. She’s my dream, my peace from a place I can never escape. Then one day, she’s gone, whisked into a world I refuse to taint with my touch.
Fifteen years later, she’s back in my life, needing a favor only I can provide. The street rat she once knew is now king of an empire, where every favor comes at a price.
A price, she says, she is more than willing to pay. But the cost is all of her...body, mind, and soul.
My husband hates me. But he’s also the only man who can save me.
Taken by a stranger, Santiago is my only hope. Except that I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. And for as cruel as he can be, the thought he might be gone is unbearable.
But he has nine lives, my monster.
He’s not finished with me yet. And soon I’m back at The Manor. Locked in my room. At his mercy.
I know I am despised.
I know I have become the face of his vengeance.
But there’s something else too. Something between us. It’s a dark and gnarled thing. And it has its claws around my heart.

He’s a ruthless stranger. One I can’t see, only feel, thanks to my friends who make a deal with him on my behalf.
No names. No personal details. No face to etch into my mind. Just him, me, and an expensive silk tie. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. He warns me he’s full of danger. I never see that side of him. All I experience is his Russian accent, delicious scent, and touch that lights me on fire.
One incredible night turns into two. Then we go our separate ways. But fate doesn't keep us apart. When I run into my stranger back in Chicago, I know it’s him, even if I’ve never seen his icy blue eyes before.
Our craving is hotter than Vegas. But he never lied. He’s a ruthless man....
Ruthless Stranger is the jaw-dropping first installment of the Mafia Wars series. It’s an interconnecting, stand-alone dark mafia romance, guaranteed to have an HEA.
I’m used to being alone, until she changed everything...
When my ex-wife left, she said the cruelest words she could think of, and I took them to heart.
Now I work at my loveable bastard cousin’s tattoo parlor and keep most people at arm’s length. I have the occasional one night stand to take the edge off, but there can never be anything more than that for me.
I don’t let myself think about how lonely I am. At least I’m not ruining anyone’s life, right?
Then Emily walks into Wishbone Tattoos, asking about the receptionist job. And this shy, smiling, kind-hearted woman is everything I’ve ever wanted.
I can’t help falling for her. But I don’t want to be selfish, or torture myself with small tastes of a life that can never be mine.
But there’s something about Emily I don’t know. Something that will make her the exception to my rule...
She’s battle scarred herself, and running from a dark past which snaps at her heels, but I’m not going to let anyone hurt her ever again, I swear to god.
And maybe, if we’re lucky and we both want it hard enough, the two of us will finally get what we deserve.

She has a demanding but satisfying day job, and still manages to find pockets of time here and there to write. She lives in the UK with her Very Sexy Husband and her Doc Martens collection, and enjoys binge reading, watching true crime documentaries on Netflix, playing Dungeons and Dragons, singing the music of the eighties very badly in the shower, and tormenting her friends with puns.

This is a debut novel for Lizzie Stanley! Wow! This is the first book in the Wishbone Tattoos Series. This is a great start to the Series. I loved Eli and Emily's story. They are such beautiful, and strong characters. I like how they complement each other. The supporting characters are also great, and very interesting. The storyline is beautifully written, emotional, and captivating. I HIGHLY recommend it. Looking forward to read the next book in the Series. This is definitely a new author to follow.
This is the third book in the amazing Boys of the Bayou Series, a Romantic Comedy. This is a series of interconnected stories. Sawyer and Juliet's story is sweet, fun, and sexy. They are opposites attract, but they are perfect together. I loved it! The supporting characters are amazing. Ramona Master and Gregory Salinas did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend this Series. Looking forward to listen to Crazy Rich Cajuns, Kennedy and Bennett's story, the next book in the Series.
Sawyer Landry knows he’s been beastly to be around for the past few months. But he can’t seem to remember how to be fun-loving and friendly. Until he sees Juliet Dawson on his boat dock… and realizes that hip waders are, apparently, one of his turn-ons. But despite the beauty in the boots, the last thing he needs right now is a city girl in his way for the next two weeks.
But he’s not really getting a vote. Juliet is determined that her little brother rebuild the dock he and his idiot friends smashed. She’s quirky, klutzy, independent…and possibly an even bigger pessimist than Sawyer is. He’s incredibly drawn to the cynical fish-out-of-water, who seems to be the one person who isn’t intimidated by his growling.
The big, gruff boat captain is the first person in a long time to want to watch out for her and Juliet finds that hotter than his grandma’s jambalaya. Well, that and his sexy scar, his emotional baggage, and the sense of humor and fun that is buried deep. But Sawyer doesn’t need any more people to worry about long-term and the things that make him feel protective of Juliet aren’t going to go away.
So, this two-week adventure can’t be anything more than a fling. With Juliet down on the bayou, there’s an even bigger threat than alligators and hurricanes. There’s the very good chance of someone ending up with a broken heart.

In this shocking O’Connell family novel, a brother’s secret is exposed, opening up old wounds and creating a scandal that could rock the community.
Big brother Owen O’Connell was only 16 when his father mysteriously disappeared, forcing him to become a father figure to his five younger siblings. If you were to ask them, they’d say Owen is the perfect older brother with the perfect life: He’s single, a plumber, working his own hours in a close-knit community. Owen, though, knows that appearances are often deceiving.
When he is called to a plumbing emergency at the local high school after a grad prank goes wrong, he finds his old rival Tessa Brooks, now a teacher, holding a broken pipe in the middle of the flood, thinking she can fix the problem. However, the two soon make a horrifying discovery: the body of a student tucked away in a closet.
The event brings authorities flocking in, and in the ensuing chaos, Owen realizes that someone knows too much about his family. Having carefully held the family together since his father disappeared, he is determined to keep their secrets right where they are, dead and buried. But sometimes, secrets get revealed in the most scandalous of ways.

She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell. Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.

This is the first book in The Society Trilogy, a Dark Mafia Romance and Arranged Marriage. The story is written by two amazing authors. Wow! I loved it! Santiago is the perfect dark antihero, devilishly ruthless, enigmatic, and revengeful. Ivy is a beautiful character, strong, and determined. They are two wounded characters. The storyline is enthralling, and intricate, filled with secrets, mystery, rituals, revenge, and twists and turns. The world building is captivating. This story is not for the faint of heart. And that ending!! Impossible to put it down. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read Reparation of Sin, the next installment in the Series. I want it now!

I'm an indie author that focuses on contemporary romance with a little bit of everything: humor, angst and sometimes suspense. A Reason To Stay, book one of the Blackwood Series, was my debut novel.
I grew up as a book worm, reading anything and everything and still try to read at least a book a week. I've always had an active imagination. Luckily, I now have time to put it to good use writing about characters that are constantly swarming around in my head.
I went from designing buildings to crafting stories. I'm a creative entrepreneur and coffee connoisseur.
This is the third book in the Made Series, a Romantic Suspense. This is a series of standalone stories with intertwined characters. You can read this story as a standalone. Ally and Merrick's story is captivating, suspenseful, and action packed. Ally is a strong character, determined and smart. Merrick is handsome, dark, and protective. The storyline is enthralling, intricate, and entertaining, filled with mystery, secrets, and twists and turns. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it. Looking forward to read the first books in the Series, to know more about the previous characters.

Blurb:
It all starts when I get an email.
Let me rephrase. It’s a sextortion email from someone claiming they tapped into my computer and recorded me while I was watching a graphic adult video. If I don’t send them money, they’ll forward it to everyone in my Contacts list.
As a chemistry teacher at a private school, I panic. Not only do I love my job, but I also need it.
Desperate and afraid, I run to the police station and ask an officer for help.
A very gorgeous, very arrogant officer—Dax Harder.
Dax is a mixture of a fearless warrior and an undisciplined child. After he proves to me that it’s a spam email and they didn’t actually hack into my computer, he uses the incident to tease me. I leave the police station in a huff, hoping to never see him again.
Fate has other ideas.
Everywhere I go, I run into Officer Harder. Our tension turns heated, and soon, we’re embarking on a fiery and bold romance. The more time I spend with him, the more I learn about the dark past that lingers behind the eyes of the closely guarded cop.
And whatever it is, it’s enough for him to push me away.
