"I was at the top of my game: number one draft pick, engaged to an up-and-coming model, and voted Player of the Decade my first year on the field.
Things were golden . . . until an accident saw everything important torn from my grasp.
I'm determined to get my life back, though, and with a strict regime and no time for a life outside of the game, the last thing I should be craving is the attention of a curvy college student whose only motto in life is not to take it too seriously.
Can this brash, gorgeous, football-loathing Australian expat show a struggling sports star there's more to life than the next win? Or has Willow Underwood finally chewed off a chunk of man meat too thick for her to swallow?
Contains mature themes."
"Zoya
I never imagined a dreaded gynaecology appointment would result in a fire-sparking connection hotter than the sun.
Even in an office designed to torture women, the tension between the sinfully delicious stranger and me is so blistering that we spend the night together, twisted beneath silky sheets.
Although disappointed to wake alone the following morning, I assume aching muscles will be the worst side effect of our night of sin.
If only anything in my life was that simple.
I learn shortly after our night of debauchery that Andrik isn’t just seductively charming and easy on the eye. He is also married.
During an exchange as heated as the night before, he assures me that I have nothing to feel guilty about, that his marriage is a contractual agreement designed to take down a hierarchy that’s been ruling his life since prior to his conception.
His defense is so credible that I almost believe him.
But with one lie unearthing a dozen more, it isn’t solely Andrik’s affair being scrutinized.
A dynasty centuries in the making is about to topple, and I’m unknowingly wielding the axe responsible for its demise.
Andrik
One glance seared my soul, but one brush of a pair of pouty lips seals my fate.
Zoya Galdean is going to ruin me.
No ifs.
No buts.
She will ruin me. But I refuse to withdraw from a battle more dangerous than one decades in the making.
Betrothed or not, Zoya wants me, so she will have me.
I just can’t publicly announce that until I fix the monumental mistake I initiated mere hours before bedding a woman whose inclusion in the farce ensures it isn’t solely my head on the chopping block."
"The Ivanov family exudes wealth and power, so when its founder shows up on the surgical roster of a third-year resident, even with me not laying eyes on her previously, I’m thrust under their spotlight.
Her son’s, to be precise.
Maksim Ivanov is a walking red flag. He oozes confidence, and appears to have never been told no, but despite our differences, sparks ignite the moment we trade sultry glances.
The tension is white hot. I’ve never experienced such an immediate mutual connection. But as quickly as his mother was placed under my care, she is removed.
I assume her discharge will be the last I’ll hear from the mysterious family, so I struggle to hold back my delight when I bump into Maksim weeks later.
He’s darker than the man I’d met previously. More unhinged. But I am still drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
Regretfully, he tries to make it seem as if the sparks are one sided.
He pushes me away as often than he draws me in, so you can picture my shock when I wake up after a night out drinking, wearing his ring.
I wanted to make him jealous.
I became his wife instead.
It could be mistaken as magical… until more than just the people I placed between us start showing up dead."
"When opposing sides of the law collide, it isn’t solely the rules being broken.
I dreamed about being an architect when I was a child, but when my brother was sentenced to life behind bars only weeks after pleading for my pardon at the feet of a ruthless mafia don, my plans altered.
Now I am a first-year intern at the number one defense firm in the country. I’m seeking help from the right side of the law, so the last place I expect to find it is in a man who’s far from lawful.
Nikolai Popov was raised in a criminal entity that’s as bigoted as it is violent. The devilishly good-looking bratva prince has lived a hard and fast life that often sees him facing a line-up, yet he’s not spent one night behind bars.
If his lawyer hadn’t left town on a whim, our lives would have never crossed paths. However, a mix-up with Nikolai’s home arrest documentation awards my firm more than the chance to defend him.
He becomes my unexpected house guest for the long weekend.
I’m still hiding the scars of my last tussle with mafia royalty, so I anticipate the worst when I’m thrust back into the dark and dangerous world that almost claimed my life.
Will I survive a second tightrope walk with a mafia prince, or will the protection of a man who has only ever looked out for himself be greater than the deceptive web that tore my family apart?

Nikolai: The Complete Collection is books one to four in the Russian Mob Chronicles.
Please note in this book Nikolai refers to Justine as ангел, which, to him, means Angel in Russian. He pronounces ангел as Ahren (Aaron). This is not the correct pronunciation, but in I Married a Mob Boss (Rico’s story), it states that Nikolai couldn’t speak Russian as well as his siblings, and out of all the sayings he got wrong, this one stuck."
"I thought waking up hungover with no recollection of the previous twenty-four hours would be the worst thing I’d encounter during my whirlwind trip to Vegas.
It wasn’t... not even close.
Not only did I wake up in a strange room with a platinum band wrapped around my finger, I witnessed something no woman should ever see: a gruesome murder. If that wasn’t unscrupulous enough, the unspeakable act was done by my husband: the stranger I married.
With freshly signed alimony papers and a guilt-riddled heart, I left Vegas praying what happens in Vegas truly does stay in Vegas. My hope was left for dust when the fragment of my life I tried to forget collided into the present.
Can the guarded, tortured man I married keep me safe when he is the one I need protecting from the most?

"Isaac Holt understands the pain of loss. He fought through the tragedy, sought vengeance for it, and in the process, built a formidable empire of both wealth and admiration.
However, he had no clue how lonely he was until a brunette with a Cupid bow lip and sultry curves fell at his feet.
Her chocolate brown eyes held a lifetime of secrets, but with a childhood illness teaching Isaac that the weak are often misunderstood, he saw more than a timid, shy woman.
She sparked his interest, and although his astuteness could have been blinded by lust, years of challenges assured him more than desire was at play.
As tension burns between them, will Isaac and Isabelle find solace in the flames? Or will they be scorched by truths so ferocious nothing but ash will be left in their wake?"

"When Justine walked into my life, I swore an allegiance, an oath to protect her with everything I have. I slayed the devil and stole his crown. I now sit in his throne with my queen at my side.
But what happens when everything I’ve ever wanted is pulled out from beneath me?
I’ve risen from the ashes more than once, but this resurrection is by far the most dangerous. It threatens to take everything I’ve worked for—everything I deserve. But more than anything, it wants to destroy her: my Ahren.
I’ll never let that happen. I killed the man who raised me to save her, and this fool is about to suffer the same fate. I’ll protect what is mine. . . even it kills me.
You can hide from the devil, but he will always find you because dead men don’t tattle any tales.
Author Warning: This is book four in a series, it is not recommended as a standalone. It has violent scenes, smoking hot moments, and a bad boy mafia man who will make you swoon.

"Have you ever wanted something so bad, you’re willing to kill for it?
That’s what I felt the instant my eyes locked on Justine. I could practically taste her innocence on my tongue when she stood across from me, riling me up like the life in her eyes hadn’t been snuffed years ago. The thrill of the chase ran through my blood so fast, for the first time in years, I felt like I had a heart sitting in my chest. Its beat was weak and cold, but it was still thumping nonetheless.
It had literally only been a few hours since I had a woman’s warmth wrapped around me, but my hunger for Justine was uninhibited. Her scent was so intoxicating, my arrogance fed off it. I craved it like a drug, willing to give up everything to have it embedded in my skin—even my freedom.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Vladimir isn’t going to be that lucky. I was maimed, beaten and tortured as he groomed me to be a natural born killer, and he is going to discover the hard way how precise his tactics were. Disrespecting my family is as punishable as disrespecting me. Justine is now my family, and I’ll spill the blood of a thousand men before I let anyone take her away from me.
This devil needs his rest, and Justine is the angel who can give it to me.
Author Warning: This book has adult scenes and situations that may be distressing to some readers. This book is part two of Nikolai's story and it is not intended to be read as a standalone.

"A slow-burning enemies-to-lovers standalone romance from an all-male POV.
Brax Anderson is the #1 bachelor on his side of Ravenshoe. With ruggedly handsome looks and a gorgeous heart, women swarm to him like bees to a honeypot. His grandma, friends, and a few hours between the sheets with a variety of bunnies keeps his blood pumping. He's a self-proclaimed bachelor with no intentions of settling down, but that all changes when a girl from the right side of the tracks saunters into his life.
With a fire-breathing attitude and a body even hotter than that, it is not just Brax's blood pressure surging to record-breaking highs. The blonde princess tosses out callous words like grenades, and can spar with the best of them, but what happens when a beauty meets a beast she can't conquer? Will Brax defy the laws of attraction? Or will the dragon finally slay the princess?
Please note: this story is NOT a fairytale. The scenes are hot, the main man is even hotter, and the storyline is gritty and real. Recommended for audiences over the age of 18 due to sexual content, adult scenes, and swear words. If hot alpha men with big hearts and rough exteriors scare you, this may not be the book for you.

"Can desperation make you delusional?
I flew across the country with one goal in my mind... finish my book... and perhaps lick the wounds of my shredded heart. My editor was screaming for the first draft, my agent was nagging for teasers, and my publisher was reminding me that my strict deadline was only weeks away. However, there was a dilemma: I had writer's block. Not a little spanner thrown into the works writer's block. Writers. Block.
Just as I was about to call in defeat, I spotted him: the bearded, tattooed man who lives in the glasshouse next door. He was in a lust-filled twist with a pretty blonde who had buxom bosoms and legs that went for miles.
I should have looked away.
I should have respected his privacy.
I should NOT have taken detailed dot points on his impressive technique, well-carved physique, and droplets of sweat running down his tattooed torso, but each thrust of his hips had words flowing quicker than I could write them.
He was my inspiration.
My muse.
My next alpha male book boyfriend.
Everything was perfect... until the bearded stranger spotted me spying on him.
