"Lorenzo Ricci is a big-shot footballer known for his talents both on and off the field. In his hometown of Milan, he's the divinity of all men. Women want to be bedded by him, men want to be him. However, during his one-off visit to the land of the free, he can't even get final-year college student Skylar Maine to talk to him.
She has dreams in the works—dreams that don't include a height-restricted Italian who wrongly believes football is played with a round ball.
With Skylar's wish to find an altitude-breathing mate on the forefront of her mind, Lorenzo will face more than a red-card to secure her attention. If his record-breaking deal, newly acquired gay best-friend, and smoking-hot accent don't free him from the penalty box, he's certain a big hairy bear named Percy will.
Ain't Happenin' is a hilarious sports romcom that brings together two clashing personalities in the most brilliant way. It has several laugh-out-loud moments and steamy you-aren't-who-I-want scenes.
Contains mature themes."
"I was at the top of my game: number one draft pick, engaged to an up-and-coming model, and voted Player of the Decade my first year on the field.
Things were golden . . . until an accident saw everything important torn from my grasp.
I'm determined to get my life back, though, and with a strict regime and no time for a life outside of the game, the last thing I should be craving is the attention of a curvy college student whose only motto in life is not to take it too seriously.
Can this brash, gorgeous, football-loathing Australian expat show a struggling sports star there's more to life than the next win? Or has Willow Underwood finally chewed off a chunk of man meat too thick for her to swallow?
Contains mature themes."
"My reputation was fierce, a force not to be reckoned with. To my competitors, I was a ruthless, coldhearted man whose devotion only ever centered around his empire. Then she unmasked me by forcing a bar into the cogs that would have seen me spiraling out of control.
When Isabelle Brahn fell at my feet, I knew in an instant my life would never be the same. With an ability to see through the shield others couldn’t, she taught me that my greatest accomplishments weren’t measured by my power or wealth, but by the man beneath the enigmatic mask. But with change comes challenges. I fought to get where I am—I fought for her—so when secrets and betrayals threaten the very things I want the most, you can be assured I’ll fight to the death to keep them.
Enigma: The Wedding is the final installment between the tumultuous relationship of Isaac Holt and Isabelle Brahn. It’s a story about unifying as one through rawness, honesty, and hot, kindle melting scenes that will unravel more than the enigma you’ve grown to know and love. It is not intended to be read as a standalone.

"I've known for months that Isabelle was hiding something in her beautiful chocolate eyes. I just had no clue it was something so mammoth.
Over the past five years, I’ve become accustomed to the vicious ploys women undertake for my attention. The spilled drinks, the damsel in distress. Hell, I’ve even been propositioned with money from wealthy business associates in my industry just for the chance to occupy my bed for the night. However, Isabelle was by far the most elaborate ruse I’ve ever come across.
The woman who invades my every waking thought is an undercover FBI Agent. A stringent ruse to pry me of privy information no one outside of my inner circle has access to. I’ll give it to her, she performed well.
She played me like a f*cking fiddle.
Only now, after being arrested by Isabelle, do I realize all my assumptions about her have been terribly inaccurate. I don’t know her at all. She's practically a stranger.
Or she will soon become one.
** This is book 2 in the Enigma Series **

"Zoya
I never imagined a dreaded gynaecology appointment would result in a fire-sparking connection hotter than the sun.
Even in an office designed to torture women, the tension between the sinfully delicious stranger and me is so blistering that we spend the night together, twisted beneath silky sheets.
Although disappointed to wake alone the following morning, I assume aching muscles will be the worst side effect of our night of sin.
If only anything in my life was that simple.
I learn shortly after our night of debauchery that Andrik isn’t just seductively charming and easy on the eye. He is also married.
During an exchange as heated as the night before, he assures me that I have nothing to feel guilty about, that his marriage is a contractual agreement designed to take down a hierarchy that’s been ruling his life since prior to his conception.
His defense is so credible that I almost believe him.
But with one lie unearthing a dozen more, it isn’t solely Andrik’s affair being scrutinized.
A dynasty centuries in the making is about to topple, and I’m unknowingly wielding the axe responsible for its demise.
Andrik
One glance seared my soul, but one brush of a pair of pouty lips seals my fate.
Zoya Galdean is going to ruin me.
No ifs.
No buts.
She will ruin me. But I refuse to withdraw from a battle more dangerous than one decades in the making.
Betrothed or not, Zoya wants me, so she will have me.
I just can’t publicly announce that until I fix the monumental mistake I initiated mere hours before bedding a woman whose inclusion in the farce ensures it isn’t solely my head on the chopping block."
"The Ivanov family exudes wealth and power, so when its founder shows up on the surgical roster of a third-year resident, even with me not laying eyes on her previously, I’m thrust under their spotlight.
Her son’s, to be precise.
Maksim Ivanov is a walking red flag. He oozes confidence, and appears to have never been told no, but despite our differences, sparks ignite the moment we trade sultry glances.
The tension is white hot. I’ve never experienced such an immediate mutual connection. But as quickly as his mother was placed under my care, she is removed.
I assume her discharge will be the last I’ll hear from the mysterious family, so I struggle to hold back my delight when I bump into Maksim weeks later.
He’s darker than the man I’d met previously. More unhinged. But I am still drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
Regretfully, he tries to make it seem as if the sparks are one sided.
He pushes me away as often than he draws me in, so you can picture my shock when I wake up after a night out drinking, wearing his ring.
I wanted to make him jealous.
I became his wife instead.
It could be mistaken as magical… until more than just the people I placed between us start showing up dead."
"When opposing sides of the law collide, it isn’t solely the rules being broken.
I dreamed about being an architect when I was a child, but when my brother was sentenced to life behind bars only weeks after pleading for my pardon at the feet of a ruthless mafia don, my plans altered.
Now I am a first-year intern at the number one defense firm in the country. I’m seeking help from the right side of the law, so the last place I expect to find it is in a man who’s far from lawful.
Nikolai Popov was raised in a criminal entity that’s as bigoted as it is violent. The devilishly good-looking bratva prince has lived a hard and fast life that often sees him facing a line-up, yet he’s not spent one night behind bars.
If his lawyer hadn’t left town on a whim, our lives would have never crossed paths. However, a mix-up with Nikolai’s home arrest documentation awards my firm more than the chance to defend him.
He becomes my unexpected house guest for the long weekend.
I’m still hiding the scars of my last tussle with mafia royalty, so I anticipate the worst when I’m thrust back into the dark and dangerous world that almost claimed my life.
Will I survive a second tightrope walk with a mafia prince, or will the protection of a man who has only ever looked out for himself be greater than the deceptive web that tore my family apart?

Nikolai: The Complete Collection is books one to four in the Russian Mob Chronicles.
Please note in this book Nikolai refers to Justine as ангел, which, to him, means Angel in Russian. He pronounces ангел as Ahren (Aaron). This is not the correct pronunciation, but in I Married a Mob Boss (Rico’s story), it states that Nikolai couldn’t speak Russian as well as his siblings, and out of all the sayings he got wrong, this one stuck."
"I thought waking up hungover with no recollection of the previous twenty-four hours would be the worst thing I’d encounter during my whirlwind trip to Vegas.
It wasn’t... not even close.
Not only did I wake up in a strange room with a platinum band wrapped around my finger, I witnessed something no woman should ever see: a gruesome murder. If that wasn’t unscrupulous enough, the unspeakable act was done by my husband: the stranger I married.
With freshly signed alimony papers and a guilt-riddled heart, I left Vegas praying what happens in Vegas truly does stay in Vegas. My hope was left for dust when the fragment of my life I tried to forget collided into the present.
Can the guarded, tortured man I married keep me safe when he is the one I need protecting from the most?

"Isaac Holt understands the pain of loss. He fought through the tragedy, sought vengeance for it, and in the process, built a formidable empire of both wealth and admiration.
However, he had no clue how lonely he was until a brunette with a Cupid bow lip and sultry curves fell at his feet.
Her chocolate brown eyes held a lifetime of secrets, but with a childhood illness teaching Isaac that the weak are often misunderstood, he saw more than a timid, shy woman.
She sparked his interest, and although his astuteness could have been blinded by lust, years of challenges assured him more than desire was at play.
As tension burns between them, will Isaac and Isabelle find solace in the flames? Or will they be scorched by truths so ferocious nothing but ash will be left in their wake?"
