About the book
She loathed him the second he walked through the door.
Too bad her heart, and hormones, had other plans.
When Elec, her brooding, tattooed stepbrother, moves in senior year, she expects attitude. What she doesn’t expect is the slow, infuriating pull of attraction that builds between insults and eye rolls.
He’s trouble, and he knows it. But just when things explode between them, he vanishes back to California without a word. Years pass. Hearts harden. Then tragedy drags him back, and he’s no longer the boy she remembers.
He’s hotter, darker, and even more off-limits than before.
Old feelings resurface, and unresolved tension simmers. But some scars don’t fade, and some secrets can still shatter everything.
Can she resist the man who broke her once, or is her heart about to make the same mistake twice?

About the book
Teagan has one plan: act her heart out, impress the talent scout at her school play, and escape her small town for good.
She’s ready for her big break—until Hollywood bad boy Liam Black shows up and hijacks her spotlight. He’s famous, infuriating, and absolutely not taking the production seriously.
Worse, he’s now her costar. And if they can’t fake chemistry onstage, Teagan’s shot at her dream could vanish faster than Liam’s last tabloid scandal.
But behind the smirks and snark, Liam’s not quite what she expected. Teagan might hate him, but her heart isn’t playing along.
She’s got everything to lose, and he’s the last person she should fall for. So why does he keep looking at her like she’s already his?

About the book
A USA Today and bestseller, published in ten languages.
They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?
Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.
Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize.
But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever. Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions— can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it?
When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.
Warning: contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

About the book
Life coach and best-selling author Victoria Price has it all: a successful career, fabulous friends, a fantastic penthouse in Manhattan. What she doesn’t have—and doesn’t want—is a husband. Fifteen years ago her high school flame broke her heart so badly she swore she’d never love again.
Drop-dead sexy restaurateur and infamous playboy Parker Maxwell has only three rules for the women he dates: no questions about his past, no expectations for the future, and no spending the night. When he meets Victoria, however, he’s willing to break his own rules if it means sating the explosive desire she arouses in him.
What he doesn’t know is that the alluring Victoria Price used to be the mousy Isabel Diaz, the girl he deflowered and dumped long ago.
Presented with a perfect opportunity for revenge, Victoria decides the game is on. But when her connection with Parker proves more than just skin deep, she has to make a choice: continue with her plan for payback, or risk her career, her reputation, and her heart by taking a second chance on love?

Everlynne is on the cusp of reinventing herself once again when the old wounds of her past are resurrected, rawer than ever. There is nothing worse than being in love with two men.
Especially when one of them hates you.
