A nurse who may be a murderer—and she’s the love of his life.
Despite their twelve-year age difference, and all his efforts to forget her, green-eyed Lily Beller has imprisoned Dr. Darren Mansfield’s heart for the last five years. He left his father’s medical practice to avoid the too-young temptation, but now she’s inexplicably working at the same hospital as him.
For the sake of his career and his sanity, he needs Lily gone. He also needs answers about the plague of horrific events that have started to further upend his life with all too coincidental timing. He doesn’t want to believe Lily is behind them, but all the evidence points to her.
To complicate matters further, while his mind is focused on Lily, her roommate Jill becomes determined to win him. And if he was smart, he’d let her. Because Lily has a boyfriend—one who might be helping her punish Darren over a past he can’t atone for.
Secrets, gaslighting, murder, obsessive love—everything is about to explode, and the damage may be irreversible.
There's a thin line between devotion and obsession, and crossing it is deadly.
Danielle Madison has spent the eight years since her ninth birthday channeling the devastation of her best friend's murder into catching pedophiles online. Being the one to have found Kira's body, she can't forget the brutality of the crime. Worse, she's sure Kira wasn't the murderer's first victim. Since he was never caught, she's also sure Kira wasn't his last, and she's dead set on figuring out his identity.
Months away from her eighteenth birthday, the course of Danielle's life is altered once again when her father forces her to move across the country to live with her estranged mother––a wealth-obsessed narcissist with nothing but complaints when it comes to her daughter. Complaints that send Danielle's self-esteem spiraling, and put her at odds with Michael Beller, the one person she's finally found a connection with. But Michael has no idea how far Danielle has taken her obsession with catching child killers, or that she's caught the attention of the very one she's been looking for all along.
As the ninth anniversary of Kira's death approaches, Danielle is unraveling. Michael wants every drop of her attention, but so does Kira's murderer––and he gets it every time he baits her.
While she keeps secrets to protect those she cares about, one thing is certain––she's putting everyone at risk, most of all herself.
Beller Ties is a thrilling romantic suspense book set featuring four different members of the illustrious – and wealthy – Beller Family. This omnibus collection includes the first two books in the set: Something So Beautiful & Now And Always.
Something So Beautiful – When green-eyed charmer John Beller breaks through the chaos of her life, offering all the fruits of lust and love, thirty-two-year-old Mary Williams desperately wants to partake.

But the confident man is demanding, and he's digging into secrets she has no intention of letting anyone find out about.
When an insane driver intentionally forces her car off the road and leaves her for dead at the bottom of a ravine, she wakes to find herself hospitalized, then forced into confinement at John's house. And in his house, it's his rules. But is he isolating her for her protection? Or using her injuries against her?
One thing is certain—her nightmares are real. And the more John kisses her, the closer the threat looms.
Love isn't only blind, it's dangerous.

Now And Always – Avery Kingwood's marriage crashed and burned…on his honeymoon. After finding out his wife Cassie's devastating truth, she forces him to sign a separation agreement—more like a gag order.
