"There's a phrase: Still waters run deep. But there's more to it than that.
Because 'still' doesn’t denote peace. Nor calm. Nor happiness. It’s an illusion. It's chaos.
The only way to handle chaos is to become it. That’s what Lucy did. She created stillness out of the chaos tumbling inside her and called the most chaotic motorcycle club in the United States her family. The Sons of Templar gave her chaos, friendship, family, danger, and death. But she wouldn't want it any other way.
Then he came. The one who showed her that her handle on chaos was tumultuous at best. Showed her how to stand still.
And how good it could be.
And how drowning in those waters comes as easy as breathing.

"Words are my weapon. Stories wrap around my soul, choking me, capturing you. I don't work in dreams. I don't offer escapes. I cage you within my nightmares.
Magnolia Grace is a horror writer, despite what the name might suggest. One of the best in the business, if you asked around. Pressure comes with that title. Expectation for the next nightmare. The next bestseller. Sickness. That's what it is. She can't be healthy. Because that means she won't write. And she hasn't been writing.
A looming deadline and a crumbling psyche drive her into the woods. To a cabin which was the site of a grizzly murder. A serial killer, butchering women, toying with her. Her plan is to borrow some of the horror that seeped into the soil. But hers follows her.
The woods are meant to be her escape. But they are almost her demise. Almost.
He was an unlikely savior. An unlikely muse. He has horrors of his own. A motorcycle club looking to settle a score. A soul too broken to offer her anything but pain.

"Calliope Derrick is in trouble. Not that she'll admit it. She'd sooner go to her grave than ask for help—especially from a man. Wall Street's wolf in heels, Calliope built an empire, shattered egos, and earned a reputation as the woman who made grown men cry in their private jets. But after a betrayal that threatens everything she's worked for, she trades skyscrapers for lighthouses and flees to Jupiter, Maine. She tells her family it's just a break. A vacation. A reset. She's lying. She's here to plot revenge. Not to fall in love.
And definitely not with a charming fisherman like Elliot Shaw. He's not her type—too easygoing, too noble, too sincere. Or so she thinks . . . until she discovers the depths beneath his quiet strength. Until he begins to unravel the cold, calculated woman she spent years becoming. The carefree fisherman reveals a side of herself she never dared explore. And the more tangled up she gets, the more she realizes Elliot isn't just a temptation—he might be a lifeline. An anchor. To a better life. It may be too late to guard her heart, but she'll do whatever it takes to protect her family—and Elliot—even if it's from herself. Because Calliope knows one thing for sure, she doesn't deserve an easy life with a good man.

"Should I tell you a story? Not a fairytale, mind you. There's not a princess to be seen. Nor a prince. Not even a hero.
This is about the stripper and the outlaw.
Our story begins with the Sons of Templar MC, with a man even the outlaws fear.
He was trouble. More than trouble. A scoundrel. A sinner. A villain. To everyone but me.
Our story begins with blood, violence, and pain. I have a feeling it will end that way too. But it's too late for escape.
I've fallen for the scoundrel. The sinner. The outlaw.

"She survived the deadliest serial killer of her generation. Or so everyone thought.
No one knew how many pieces of her he took to the grave with him. She hid her scars, her nightmares. She hid everything until she couldn't.
Then she ran. But Colby followed her. He'd follow her to the ends of the earth. To hell and back. Sariah knew he would . . .
Because Colby had already wrenched her out of hell once. Because Colby loved her.
Only Colby loved the girl she was before. The carefree girl she used to be.
She had to show Colby that girl was gone. By any means necessary.

"The good girl falls for the bad boy. Can we name a bigger, or better cliché?
Despite my ideas about the deep misogyny associated with this particular one, I've somehow found myself in the middle of it.
Except, I'm not the good girl. I'm exceptional at playing that role. But I'm not. My secrets make sure of that.
And he's not a boy. He's a man. Older than me by decades. An outlaw. A villain. A member of one of the most notorious MCs in the country. The Sons of Templar.
More importantly, my stepfather is one of his brothers. That means I'm off limits. He's off limits.
But that doesn't stop us. Nothing will. Not until there's nothing left but the charred remains of the lives we once knew.

"Don't ask me how I got here, I don't want to lie to you.
I'm not a worldly woman. I'm not cultured, well-traveled, or well educated. I'm just a housewife. A mother. I'm the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house. If you saw it from the outside, you'd probably think I have the perfect life. You would most definitely be wrong.
But I don't blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden. Especially when it comes to love.
They say love is blind. But I'm more apt to say it's wretched.
Love is what made me stay. But love is also what saved me.
When I found him. The outlaw who saved my life without knowing it—until he found out the truth.

"Inferno.
The hottest restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, run by the 'Ice Queen', Avery Hart. She is a revolutionary in the culinary world, earning Michelin Stars and feeding presidents while starving her demons at the same time. Her life is in her kitchen. Where she controls every ingredient, every sear, every plate.
Kane 'The Devil' Rhodes is chaos personified. He's famous for his death-defying stunts, for his medals, for his roguish charm. The moment he sees Avery Hart, he knows what he wants. He wants her. To unravel her. Melt the ice queen. Make her his.
Avery shouldn't want Kane. He personifies everything she's avoided her entire life. Yet she submits to him. She lets him invade her life. Even though she knows passion will burn out, leaving nothing but ashes.
When the smoke clears, Avery runs to a small town called Jupiter, with a whole new future ahead of her and a broken heart. But Kane isn't going to let her go.

"The Sons of Templar MC. I'm sure you've heard of them.
They're infamous. Murderers. Criminals. Outlaws. But to me, they're family.
My husband wore the cut for well over a decade. For almost as long as he wore a wedding ring. Our marriage survived wars. Deaths. Blood. The cuts were deep. And they never healed quite right. But we survived. Until we didn't.
He promised me forever. And he gave it to me. His version of it, at least. Mine was longer, though. Much longer.
I wanted to blame the Sons for killing my husband, wanted to hate the club. The cut. But that was impossible. Especially when I found myself falling in love with another man wearing the same cut.
Just when I thought there was nothing left in me to wound, he cut me the deepest.

"Nora Henderson is of the opinion that chocolate cures almost everything. Which, among a few other reasons, is why she opened her bakery in the small town of Jupiter, Maine five years ago.
People come from miles for her chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. Customers almost come to blows over the last almond croissant. Some even say her chocolate chip cookies help ease the burn of heartbreak.
Nora's life is good. On the surface, at least. Underneath the frosting and the sweet décor of her bakery is a broken engagement, doubt, and anxiety spirals.
In short, Nora Henderson is a mess.
Not someone Rowan Derrick would ever be interested in. He's the gruff veteran who owns a construction company, who broods his way around town and can wear the crap out of a backward baseball cap. He stars in almost every one of her fantasies. She expected him to stay there, to remain her imaginary boyfriend and customer . . . nothing else.
But Rowan Derrick has had his eye on Nora for a while. Little does she know, she stars in every one of his fantasies too. And now that the beautiful baker is no longer engaged, he's going to make her his.

"Marrying Kip Goodman was a last resort.
But she was desperate. Desperate enough to marry a man she despised. All she had to do was get through the year married to a cocky alpha male who only thought of women as notches on his bedpost.
She had her reasons. So did he.
They had to lie to their friends and families, try to survive a year with each other.
It was that simple.
Until it became clear she had to resist him. Because Kip Goodman wasn't who she thought he was. And that was dangerous.

"My life is about the story. I've risked my life for it. Many times.
I chase the story so I can escape having to face my own. But this one is different.
This story will make my career. My life. Or it will end it.
The Sons of Templar MC. The most notorious and dangerous outlaw motorcycle club in the country.
And I'm going to get the scoop.
Or I'll die trying.
