Ella
As I struggle to stay afloat in the housekeeping hustle, a handsome guest and I have a magical night sneaking into the pool, making wishes under the stars, and spilling secrets. But at midnight, I risk turning into a pumpkin, er, my not-so-fancy self, compared to the pro hockey player with the expensive watch. Time is slipping through my fingers as the bill for my dad’s care comes due.
Jack
I’m a hockey superstar, famous for scoring goals and stealing hearts, but I’m at a career crossroads. To fix this problem, I casually ask a pretty woman I’ve just officially met to wear my jersey at a big game. After a fun and flirty weekend, sparks fly, but there’s trouble off the ice because she’s not the trophy my billionaire father has in mind for me.

Jack
Before we met, my life was mapped out, but she changed the game. Some argue it’s for the worst. But I’ve never felt—or played—better. Before, retirement from the league loomed. Now I have a new goal and it’s a future with her.
Will these starcrossed lovers from different worlds find a way to win each other’s hearts?

About the book
She wants Paris. He wants her. But someone else wants to rule Rosemary Mountain, and will stop at nothing to take it…
All Janet Sullivan has to do is get through her daughter’s wedding without falling apart. Then she can break the news that she’s moving overseas—permanently—for a fresh start of her own. But when someone threatens them all, Janet is forced to spend the week with the one person she wants most to avoid—Greg Morrison, the only man who could tempt her to change her plans.
Sheriff Greg Morrison has a town to protect, and the last thing he needs is to babysit a woman who already let him know her future plans would never include him. But when the threats turn deadly, he’ll make it his mission to protect her—and try to convince her to stay at the same time.
Author Note: Mountain Shadows is a small-town romantic suspense novel with fade-to-black heat. Each book in the Rosemary Mountain Romantic Suspense series is a standalone novel featuring a different couple. This series is great for readers who love small towns, found family, protective heroes, sizzling banter, steamy kisses, and fade-to-black romance that is never explicit.

About the book
When you find something precious... You defend it with your life.
Eden
Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.
After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.
I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…
The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.
Linc
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.
Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.
Whistleblower is book 1 in the PALADIN Series. It is a spicy, touch her and die, morally gray alpha hero, romantic suspense intended for audiences 18+. Please check the trigger warnings prior to reading.

A confession on graduation night shattered a friendship neither of them ever truly left behind.
Hits Different

Our take
A confession on graduation night shattered a friendship neither of them ever truly left behind. In Hits Different, injured soccer star Brandon Carter reunites with Parker Di Rossi, the best friend who once broke his heart, at an elite rehabilitation facility. As old wounds reopen and unspoken feelings resurface, this M/M sports romance explores second chances, identity, and love that refuses to stay buried.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hits Different is a sports romance, filled with wholesome angst, enjoyable banter, and just a dash of spice. It’s best friends to strangers to lovers, between two down bad ex-best friends who reconnect after life throws them back together. It’s unrequited love. Until it’s not.
Parker Di Rossi and Brandon Carter were best friends until the last night of high school, when Brandon made a confession, and Parker broke his heart.
Three years later, Brandon is now the MVP of the college soccer scene. But after a career-threatening injury lands him in rehab, he’s thrown back into his old friend’s orbit and forced to confront not only Parker, but the feelings he thought were buried a long time ago.
Faced with a family scandal and growing media pressure, Brandon's determined not to fall back in love with the one person he can never have. Romance between best friends never works, especially when one of them is straight.
The only problem?
Nobody told Parker that.
Parker has one goal: make his family proud by honouring his late father's legacy as a mixed martial artist.
But after getting expelled from college and kicked out of his MMA gym, he's forced to take a job working for his disapproving cousin at Summit, an elite soccer rehabilitation facility, as he desperately tries to get his life back on track.
The one bright side? It gives Parker the chance to finally make things right with Brandon Carter - Parker's former best friend, who he can't stop thinking about.
As Parker determinedly pursues his MMA ambitions, he grows closer to Brandon in ways that he never expected. Now, he has to choose what he wants to fight for more: his father’s legacy, or Brandon’s heart.

About the book
Florida Keys romantic suspense.
Found family. Buried secrets. A guarded dive instructor she can’t ignore.
Glory Dawson escapes with a bruised body, a cracked phone—and one treasured gold-and-silver necklace from her father. She isn’t just running from her abusive boyfriend. She’s running from the life he shattered.
With nowhere left to go, a compassionate counselor offers a last-resort lifeline: a dive center in the Florida Keys.
At Dave’s Outdoor Water Sports, Glory finds sunlit docks, turquoise water, a bar called the Hut, and a tight-knit crew that doesn’t ask questions—only gives her a place to breathe. For the first time in years, she starts to feel safe.
Then she meets Ellis—a magnetic, guarded dive instructor who’s equal parts temptation and warning sign. Their chemistry is instant… but so is Glory’s unease, because Ellis seems to know things he shouldn’t. And the deeper Glory sinks into the calm of the Keys, the more she feels it: something about her past doesn’t add up.
As flashes of memory surface and secrets swirl beneath the waves, Glory must decide what survival really means—keep running… or fight for the truth, the life, and the love she never believed she deserved.
UNTIL THE TIDE is a gripping coastal found-family romantic suspense—an emotional, twist-filled story of healing, identity, and the kind of love that asks you to stop fleeing and finally come up for air.
