About the book
Catching feelings was never part of the plan.
Taking in Kason Fuller as roommate is meant to be a favor; one I regret immediately.
The bumbling, virgin football player drives me to the brink of sanity, stealing my food, my sleep, my peace and solitude.
My solution? Call a ceasefire.
Get him out on dates and out of my hair.
Yet as our truce shifts, I realize there’s a depth to this connection unlike any I’ve felt before.
It turns out, I don’t mind his presence.
I crave it, along with every morsel I learn about him.
But falling for the guy from the wrong side of the tracks wasn’t in the cards.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so.
Now, I’m at a crossroads between the life I thought I’d have, or risking everything to catch him.
*Fair Catch is the third in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring one extremely *frustrated* virgin, flirtatious roomie dates, and a not-so-sanitary use of butter that will have you clutching your pearls. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

About the book
It's not stealing if he's meant to be mine.
Let me tell you how Holden Sykes operates.
As the campus playboy and one-and-done king, he doesn’t do strings.
Or repeats.
Or names, for that matter.
So when he tries making my best friend the next notch on his bedpost, I react poorly.
Some would call it jealousy or an unrequited crush, but friends protect each other from making mistakes.
The same ones I’ve already made.
Which is why driving Holden away seems like my only option.
Too bad he’s not giving up without a fight.
Each prank leads to another until he turns this into a game far more precarious than intended.
One filled with stolen moments and heated glances, drawing me into his orbit.
But the undeniable attraction simmering between us leaves me caught in the crosshairs of an impossible decision.
Loyalty...or love.
*Caught Stealing is the second in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring a road-tripping rubber ducky, two guys fighting for the upper hand, and enough cock-blocking shenanigans to make your cheeks flush. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age*

About the book
All's fair in hate and hockey.
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas.
Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass.
We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep.
Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats.
The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top.
I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.
But athletes are a superstitious bunch, and when our hook-ups lead to victories, we tell ourselves we can’t stop.
Besides, it’s all for the sake of the team, right?
*Iced Out is the first in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two misunderstood rival teammates, pages of snarky banter, and more secret spicy times than any book should be filled with. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

About the book
"Never Will I Ever surprised me with a hot, nostalgic summer camp setting that made the enemies-to-lovers romance feel tense, physical, and emotionally earned. The chemistry worked, the spice served the story, and by the end, I immediately wanted the rest of the series." - Apropos Books
He's the one I swore I'd never ever fall for.
A teammate’s betrayal. A banishment. A secret revealed.
That’s all it took to unravel my life at the seams.
The punishment for my past mistakes goes further than expulsion, and penance can only come from the worst hell imaginable:
Summer camp.
Ten weeks spent wrangling a bunch of kids is bad enough, only to get worse when I meet my new co-counselor.
The back-stabber himself.
Kaleb LaMothe.
Being forced to coexist adds more tension to our already shaky foundation, but it also pushes us to uncover deeper parts of each other.
Until animosity becomes a feeling far more dangerous.
An attraction so potent, I lose sight of why I’m stuck in the wilderness to begin with.
And if I’m not careful, I might lose something else entirely.
Like my heart.
*Never Will I Ever is a new adult college romance featuring two quarreling camp counselors, grudges the size of Mount Hood, secretive outdoor rendezvous, and a group of meddling tweens sure to send you into hysterics. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

About the book
It was never meant to be more than a dare.
A party game. A dare. A single kiss.
That’s all it took to flip my world upside down.
I’ve always classified myself as straight, and as far as I can tell, so has he.
I didn’t think one kiss would change that, but I was so wrong.
Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. In all the ways I shouldn’t.
My best friend.
Aspen.
His taste is branded in my memory, his touch seared in my skin.
And I want more.
This simmering attraction I feel only grows with passing time.
Which is why I start tossing out new dares.
Riskier ones that toe lines we never thought we’d cross.
I’m gambling with our friendship, knowing it could ruin us.
But there’s so much more at stake here.
Like my heart.
*Don't You Dare is a new adult college romance featuring two best friends, too many baseball puns, scorching dirty talk, and a whole lot of bi-curious exploration. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

About the book
Previously published under the title "Rogue."
They say everyone deserves a second chance… but I won’t risk my heart again. Not even for Hayden Cole, the only boy who ever broken mine.
Hayden Cole was my brother’s best friend and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Broken smiles, dark hair, and eyes that had seen far too much for his age.
We spent a summer together in secret. In the darkness, in the silence, our hearts spoke the same language. Until he left without a word and tore mine right out of my chest.
Ten years later he returns from the Navy, and he’s demanding a second chance. He’s every inch the rogue I remember—crooked smiles and dark eyes—but now he’s a man grown. Tall and broad and persistent.
I see him everywhere I turn in our small town. Spending time with my brothers, repairing my broken fence, and looking at me with eyes that speak of our past.
But I’m going to stay far away this time.
Even if Hayden makes it hard to remember exactly why…

About the book
From L.J. Shen, the WSJ bestselling author of Vicious and The Kiss Thief, comes a brand new angsty, delicious standalone in the All Saints series. This friends-to-lovers, boy-obsessed romance will make you cry your eyes out and laugh with joy, sometimes on the same page.
Underneath the goody-two-shoes persona is damaged goods…but can the bad boy across the street save her?
Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter.
Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak.
Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't.
But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes.
She's becoming a piece of gossip.
The Troubled Child. A drug abuser.
No longer the girl her best friend once knew.
Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch.
Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché.
But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting.
The only two things he cares about―Bailey and becoming a pilot―are out of reach.
But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind.
The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done?

About the book
“Two predators now circle me in this den of enemies. One I came to hunt, and one I never saw coming.”
“FOURTH WING MEETS HOGWARTS with an addicting twist... If Voldemort had a 23-year-old daughter, you’d get Esme Salem. Dark, sexy and unique!” – Best In Dark Fantasy Romance Reads ★★★★★
Dark mages don’t deal in warnings — only executions.
So when assassin-in-training Esme Salem is tasked with infiltrating a magical defense academy and eliminating Kieran Mazrov — a deadly mage with powers that could erase her kind from existence — it should be treacherous but simple. A poisonous jab to his throat. A garrote bracelet slit across his neck. No hesitation.
What she doesn’t expect is Professor Dayn.
Calculating. Controlled. Lethal in every line of his body — which emits literal heat when he enters a room. He’s supposed to be an academic, but nothing about him screams scholarly. And the more she tries to pursue her mission, the more dangerous he becomes...
She came to kill.
She might just end up undone — unless she can undo both predators first.

About the book
Why are the cocky ones always the hardest to resist?
Because this man . . . this man is temptation personified.
He’s six feet, four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. And I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days.
Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out?
Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends.
Friends who flirt.
Friends who tease.
Friends who never cross that line.
Ever.
The problem is the more time we spend together, the more things shift between us.
But no matter how much I wish he could be my first, he’s never been a relationship guy,
and I refuse to settle for anything less.
I know I can trust him with my life, but can I trust him with my heart?
