From fake deaths to a makeshift hut–love was definitely not on the itinerary!
Victoria
Knox Ramsey is a pain in the ass.
My egomaniac billionaire boss has been my biggest opp since the day he hired me as his executive assistant. So when he asked me to ditch my Miami trip for a last-minute business getaway, I gave him a firm, resounding hell no.
His response?
He called the airline, pretended to be my huband, claimed I died, and canceled my flight.
I was ready to strangle him when he showed up at the airport–until he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse: $100,000 to come with him.
Naturally, I took it. But not because I saw dollar signs and dreamed of a luxury shopping spree. I took it to help pay my mother’s memory care bills–the ones I’ve been shouldering alone while my sisters conveniently disappear.
I thought the worst part of this trip would be Knox himself.
Then…the jet crashed.
Now I’m stranded on a remote island with no Wi-Fi, no phone signal, and absolutely no escape from the man who drives me out of my mind.
Knox
Did I fake her death to get her on a plane? Technically, yes.
In my defense, Victoria’s been ignoring my very generous offers–and my very obvious interests for months.
So when she turned down an all-expenses-paid trip to paradise where I planned to charm her into finally giving me a shot, I had to get creative.
I figured she’d show up, curse me out, call me “That Man Over There,” take the money, and spend the week sun-kissed and slowly falling for me.
Then the jet went down, and now we’re stranded in the middle of nowhere with no food, no phones, and no way for her to avoid me.
Which is fine by me.
I’ve got nothing but time–and if I’m lucky, a chance to prove I’m not the villain she thinks I am.
Just a very persistent one.
Two years ago, Noah Porter would have been described by his closest family and friends as charismatic, outgoing, the life of the party, and a social butterfly. That all changed when Noah became the victim of a mass shooting at a popular nightclub. Noah escaped with his life, but his two best friends weren’t so lucky.
Noah now suffers from PTSD, agoraphobia, anxiety, and depression. No one has been able to coax Noah to leave his property, not his family, friends, or his therapist. The furthest he will travel is to his mailbox, where he will occasionally socialize with Mr. Herbert, the friendly mailman.
One day, Noah finds himself sitting on his front porch waiting for Mr. Herbert to stop by. To Noah’s utter dismay, a new mail carrier jumps out of the truck. Noah narrows his eyes at her in displeasure once she greets him with a broad smile and a cheerful wave. He refuses her friendly gesture and prays her assignment to his route is temporary. However, his prayers go unanswered. One day, Noah finds chocolates and a letter from the jovial woman asking how he was doing. Noah finally responds to the woman’s attempts to contact him, sparking a sweet and innocent romance between the two through the mailbox.
Will Noah’s love for Lauryn be enough to put his fears behind him and convince him to step outside his comfort zone to pursue a happily ever after?
Micah Delgado has always seen the world differently. Returning home to Las Tierras means stepping into a future already mapped out for him—one shaped by legacy, pressure, and a father who expects him to lead without hesitation. But Micah isn’t ready to become the man everyone else sees. Especially when one unexpected connection begins to change everything.
Alita is focused, controlled, and bound by duty. As Micah’s bodyguard, her job is simple: protect him, no matter the cost. Getting close was never part of the plan. Neither was understanding him in a way no one else ever had.
Caught between expectation and independence, Micah makes a bold choice; but some ties can’t be easily broken… and some feelings refuse to stay buried.
Saddle up as we return to Las Tierras for a coming of age story filled with tension, loyalty, self-discovery, and a slow-burning love that refuses to be ignored.
Coming 05/22.
Simone:
I was handed to the Irish Mob on a silver platter. Now I’m forced to marry the enemy of my nightmares.
Ronan Callahan is everything I never wanted in a husband—a cold, crass, violent brute that seeks to own me.
Our wedding was nothing more than a business deal, trading Callahan security for Langston loyalty.
My husband thinks he can break me.
But he’s got another thing coming. I won’t go down easily.
Even if it means burning his empire down with me.
Ronan:
They say the quickest way to tame a threat is to put a ring on it.
Simone Langston is a spoiled princess raised behind golden gates—but I see what no one else does. She’s fire. She’s fury. She’s mine.
Our marriage was meant to end a mafia feud. Instead, it’s ignited a new kind of war where allegiances are tested and no one can be trusted.
My wife may hate the vows we took.
But she’ll learn to love the man who forced her to say them.
Even if I have to be the monster she’s always feared.
Chantal:
I was stolen from my life of comfort by masked men. Now I’m the prisoner of a dead man who wants to watch the world burn.
Lochlan Callahan is supposed to be dead—but the man holding me captive is very much alive. He’s cold and cruel and consumed by vengeance.
My kidnapping was never just about ransom. It’s about destroying everyone I love—including my own family.
My captor thinks he can use me.
But I’m not the sheltered little toy he thinks I am.
Even if I have to play his twisted game to survive.
Lochlan:
They buried me. Mourned me. Took my empire and moved on without me.
Chantal Banks is a senator’s daughter, an art gallery darling, and the best friend of my brother’s wife—which makes her the perfect pawn in my revenge.
Her kidnapping was meant to be leverage. Instead, she becomes a distraction I can’t afford. A temptation that threatens everything I’ve planned.
My captive may fear the man who holds her hostage.
But she’ll learn there’s no escaping a dead man.
Even if keeping her means dragging her into the grave with me.
Coming 05/28.
The Silent Beast has finally met someone who’s able to melt the ice around his heart.
He lives for her.

But the Irish mafia wants to take her from him.

And this Beast will always protect his Beauty.

SIENNA
I was never supposed to belong to Damien Devereux.
But after my father’s empire collapsed, I had two choices…
Drown in his debt or sign a deal with a devil in a three-piece suit.
Now, I’m bound by a contract that gives him control over my body, my time… and my freedom.
He thinks I’ll break. That I’ll bend to his rules, wear his chains, and become the obedient plaything he craves.
But I’ve spent my whole life surviving men like him.
And if he thinks I’ll be used and discarded, he’s about to regret ever sliding that contract across the table.
DAMIEN
There are three things I never do…
Love. Apologize. Lose control.
Sienna Blackwell threatens all of them.

Instead, she fights me at every turn, setting fire to the rules I live by and daring me to feel.
She doesn’t know it yet…
But she’s mine now.
My obsession.
My chaos.
My salvation dressed in defiance.
And I will ruin us both before I ever let her go.

Lust & Lies by M’Renee Allen.
A dark, seductive thriller filled with lust, lies, and a romance so twisted it blurs the lines between passion and obsession.
He says I’m his wife. He says I’m the love of his life. He says his world would fall apart if he ever lost me. But I don’t remember him. I don’t remember our love. I don’t remember this beautiful, elegant life he swears is mine. In fact, I don’t remember anything.
Aiden Park is perfect. Devastatingly handsome, painfully patient, and undeniably devoted to me. He whispers promises against my skin, worships me like I’m his lifeline, and tells me I’ve always belonged to him. But why does something feel… wrong?
Why do I have flashes of arguments with this man who only shows me tenderness? Why do I have nightmares of someone trying to kill me? Why does every answer lead to more questions?
The closer I get to the truth, the harder Aiden pulls me into his world, into his arms, into his bed, until the only thing I know for sure is that I can’t escape him. And by the time I uncover the entire devastating truth, I realize I don’t want to.
Even if he’s the reason I can’t remember anything.
