Amber, CEO of the leading cosmetics company, agrees to speak out about pulling her product from the shelves of her largest retailer. She’s just getting started exposing corporate giants capitalizing on forced labor. Her actions turn into consequences when the news anchor is shot immediately after her interview. Luckily, the very competent, very sexy Dr. Conner Ross is on the scene and demands that she join him in sneaking this man to safety and saving his life.
Grateful and curious, she’s pleasantly surprised at the power, resources, and talent Conner contributes as a member of the Pride. He’s offering protection, which she knows better than to accept. The retailer she took down belonged to her ex. This fight is personal, and when her ex is finished with her reputation, Amber will brush herself off and go after the next shady company.
Considering Conner’s family bought the business she took down, she needs him, and his spotless reputation, at a distance. When her ex brings on the fight, she realizes there’s no distance safe enough for her.
When Shy steps into the face of danger, she exposes her boss for what he really is-a hero.
Shy has escaped poverty and the addictions of her family and has buried it all in the past to land her dream job at Curtis Black and Associates. Ready for her first case as lead researcher, she's forced to recuse herself when her half brother, whom she has successfully avoided her whole life, is the primary suspect in the case. As if revealing her relation in front of the senior partners isn't damaging enough, she's demoted to being an assistant for Atlanta's most charming bachelor, Kyler Ross. The man is lethally handsome and sinfully smooth, with a serious phobia of office romance. Determined to prove her estrangement from her brother and return to her rightful position, Shy faces the brother she's never known, only to find herself wanting to help him. Surprisingly, her new boss is more than charm and good looks. He's willing to help, and lucky for her, he never loses.
Kyler Ross doesn't need another Candice in his life. All it takes is one accusation for an assistant to ruin a boss's reputation. When Curtis Black asks him to take on his star employee as a temporary assistant, believing she may need protection, he's less than thrilled to have the babysitting job-until he comes face-to-face with Shy Santino. Professional, witty, and even more full of herself than he is, she's the sexiest woman he's ever met. What's the risk of having her? When she's snatched from the street right in front of him, he gets his answer. He'll risk his life to have the rest of his life with her.
A second chance, yes. Starting over—not with a beginning like Sarah and Derrick’s. When Sarah crashes back into Derrick’s life, he’s not about to let her go.
Sarah has spent twelve years telling herself she deserves her broken heart. She married Derrick for love, despite the six-month contract, and got exactly what she signed up for: an enormous amount of money in a silent divorce left at her bedside in the middle of the night. Doing what any self-respecting woman would, she picks herself up, builds her own empire, and never touches a dime of his money.
Derrick’s latest mission with the Pride forces him to acknowledge what he did to Sarah. He broke her heart. She saved his family fortune, marrying him to become his legal guardian after his parents were murdered, but that wasn’t all she gave. At the time, gifting her half his trust in the divorce was all he had to give back. Now, having to face her again in the same place they started, he’s ready for an encore.
Friends to forbidden lovers.
He’s her brother’s best friend, her father’s attorney—and she’s the key witness in a case they can't risk losing.
Mick has the honor of showing her paintings at the prestigious Golla Christmas Gallery in Atlanta, but there’s only one problem. She has to lift the paintings from her celebrity ex-boyfriend’s home when he refuses to let her—or her paintings—go. When her ex shows up to ruin the biggest night of her career, she’s reminded that some crimes do go unpunished as Curtis Black, lead counsel to The Pride, comes to her defense. Having known her all her life, he’s no stranger to her antics, and this is one time she can use the help. Just this once. Despite being the sexiest man she’s ever known, she can’t ignore what he does for The Pride. Or is nothing as it seems?
Curt enjoys defending Mick’s antics with her ex until he finds out her ex is involved with a long-standing enemy of The Pride. Protecting her needs to be from a distance, but for the first time, she’s willing to give him a chance.
Enemies to lovers – fast-paced – high stakes – secret romance.

Nicholas Lee, self-made millionaire, has signed the most important deal of his life. Alexis has trusted her late father’s firm into his capable hands.

When her call comes in to The Pride, he’ll need to convince her to trust him with her life.
Sam might have a reasonable excuse to take things easy, but that’s not who she is. Her grieving process started the minute Gram became ill. After three heartbreaking months of being a full-time caregiver, she’s all cried out. To appease her brother, she agrees to a one week reprieve in their childhood haven of Promise Lake before taking back her role in the company they built together. When her car slips from the bridge and makes a terrifying plunge into the water, she’s paralyzed with the deep-rooted fears of her past. The strong, capable hands that pull her from danger belong to none other than the famous major-leaguer, Jake Jaeger.
Sam can’t deny that Jake makes everything better, and the chemistry is off the charts. She’s dated his type before. She dated Jake’s best friend who proved emotionally useless. And, then there’s the fact that Jake’s a newly signed client in her firm. If those aren’t reason enough, there’s her past. Her life is far too serious to date a man who plays a game for a living.
Jake, on break after his third Major League season, needs to tell Sam the truth. But when he pulls her from her sinking car, he knows now is not the time to tell her that he’s the reason she and Mitch broke up. And he’s not sorry. Spending time in a secluded cabin only grows the attraction he intended to ignore. He knows when a woman is into him, and he knows she’s guarded about her past. If she’s worried about him running when things get tough, she’s wrong. He hits curveballs for a living, but it was impossible to see this one coming.
