"Following the long overdue break-up from her insufferable ex-boyfriend, Macie Cunningham was ready for a fresh start. She thought she'd find that new beginning when she impulsively moved to Los Angeles with her best friend, but after six months here, all she's discovered is that her life is strenuously the same. The same career—one she's not so sure she still loves. The same hobbies—or lack thereof. And romance? Painfully non-existent. That's actually the only new experience she's had since she decided to start over. She's tried dating, but can't seem to find that spark she's looking for. Save for one exception.
Dominic Evans. Her roommate's best friend and the biggest pain in her ass. Macie and Dom's constant headbutting is more infuriating than desirable, but somehow it always feels like foreplay? With her mind on the cusp of pure lust and pure vexation every time she's around him, Macie decides it's best to just stay away from Dom entirely. Until Macie's roommates head out of town for the holidays, and she finds herself alone in her apartment with hazardous Christmas trees, head injuries, and a barren kitchen. Annoyingly, Dom can't seem to stop coming to Macie's rescue, and she isn't quite sure why, or how long she can continue holding back her desires.
As their attraction becomes explosive, Macie realizes there may be more to Dominic Evans than that arrogant cunning, that smart-ass mouth, and that obnoxiously charming smile. Not that it matters, anyway. Once the holidays pass and their friends return home, Macie and Dom's intense chemistry will fizzle out. They'll go back to the same old frenemies they always were . . . right?
Contains mature themes."
"A man with no limits is the most dangerous kind of threat.
When Trent Clarke caught me picking pockets at eleven, he didn’t turn me in. Instead, he took me under his wing and taught me that in this world, you take what you want and never look back. He might have shaped me, but I built my empire of the most successful string of strip clubs on the West Coast. Now that I have everything, it’s time to track down my deadbeat mother and remind her who she left behind. That is if the drugs didn’t kill her already.
But I don’t find the worn–down shell of the woman I remember. Instead, she has all the things she never managed to give me—the white picket fence, a family dog, even church on Sunday mornings. The real kicker? She replaced me and raised the perfect daughter with all the care and love she never gave me.
A twisted need for revenge roars to life inside me, and I aim it at my mother’s precious stepdaughter—sweet, sheltered Hattie Sinclair. At first, it’s purely about vengeance, pulling Hattie into the darkness to watch her innocence unravel piece by piece. But she becomes something more. Something dangerous. Something I can’t resist. Until she becomes my obsession."
"Finding my daughter is all that matters now.
Aurora is out there somewhere, and I’ll do whatever it takes to bring her home. Thankfully, I’m not in this fight alone. I have Logan, my rock, who is always ready to catch me when I fall. Royce, who is learning to trust and opening his heart, and Grayson—still haunted but finding strength in our connection. Together, we're unstoppable.
We’re racing against time, piecing together clues and facing our worst fears. But Bertram, the monster from my past, is hellbent on taking everything from me. He's relentless, and he's not playing by any rules.
Then there’s my mother, the ultimate narcissist with her own twisted agenda. She's proven she'll go to any lengths to destroy me.
This final showdown will test us in ways we never imagined. Can we rescue Aurora and finally find peace? Or will Bertram’s obsession shatter our fragile world once and for all?
My daughter's life is on the line, and we'll risk everything to save her—even ourselves.
***Shattered Souls is the third and final book in the Halston U trilogy and contains dark themes. It is highly recommended that you read the first two books in this trilogy, starting with Frozen Hearts, before diving into this one."
"Henry Gauthier: Bassist. My brother's best friend. And my first love.
He's also the man I grew to hate after a one-night stand went horribly wrong. I've spent the last three years successfully dodging him. Now, fresh out of a bad relationship and living in a new city, I finally feel like I'm starting to get myself together. And when an opportunity to produce Wild Minds' newest album presents itself, I can't help but jump at the chance of a lifetime. Even if it comes with a caveat. Three weeks in Hawaii, an impossible to meet deadline, and Henry Gauthier.
Eden Dawson: Spitfire. Stunning. My best friend's sister. And the bane of my existence.
I'll be the first to admit I messed up. I shouldn't have touched her. Because my best friend, my bandmate, made me promise that when it comes to his baby sister, I keep my hands to myself. Only a woman like her is impossible to resist. And before I know it, despite my best efforts, we're doing all manner of dirty things to each other. We vow this only a temporary fling. Now, I have to make sure two things don't happen. One, I don't break my promise to her. Two, her brother doesn't find out I already broke the one I made to him.
Contains mature themes."
"Our band's stunning, untouched new assistant was completely off-limits. But that didn't stop me.
A car crash. A fake story at the hospital. She warned me when I dragged her from the nightmare that was her life that she could very well destroy mine. I didn't listen. I didn't care. I brought her into my home. Into my life. Gave her a job. My Pandora. A goddess amongst mortals who opened a jar and obliterated my world with her beautiful evils. But from the moment I saw her, I knew she had to be mine. Consequences be damned.
In a life where getting by is barely a thing, I didn't expect much.
Until I crashed into him. Literally. Keith Dawson is a god amongst mortals. A rock star I've drooled over for longer than I can remember. And now the hero of my darkest tales when a hero was the last thing I was looking for. But a god this powerful always has a fatal flaw. Turns out, she died a long time ago. And there is no living up to the ghosts of his past, right? So where does that leave us? Well, that's where this story gets interesting.
Contains mature themes."
"I am meeting this woman for one reason and one reason only. And that officially makes her off-limits.
I want the one woman I cannot have. Again.
The second I lay eyes on Naomi Kent, I know I want her. And not just for my duet, though her voice is so strikingly beautiful, it can make angels weep. It's her mind, her passion, her perfect curvy body. Everything about her sets my blood on fire. But here's the thing . . . I need her to get this song produced. She needs me to help her regain the life she lost. So, any chance at an us . . . Well, that's a no-go, right?
I don't want anything Gus Diamond has to offer me.
And that includes his gorgeous face and sexy-as-all-sin body. Well, maybe I do want those. But this duet? Nope. Not a chance. I gave up this life when my world shattered and my broken pieces were stomped all over in a very public way. So you can understand why the last thing I want is to relive all that. But Gus has this way about him. And before I know what's happening, I'm saying yes to things I know better than to say yes to. Including him. That is until my past decides to make an unexpected return. With one hell of an entrance.
Contains mature themes."
"A small town, slow-burn romance for fans of Elsie Silver and Laura Pavlov.
Bailey
Three years ago I moved to Amity. This was the place I was going to set my roots and live my life without the constant reminders of the pains of my past. That first night I fell into bed with a sexy stranger, only to find out he's none other than my neighbor. And he didn't even remember me or the night we spent together. Or so I thought. Years have past and it seems that may not be the case after all. Even though we don't get along, our chemistry is impossible to ignore. Turns out the fire between us may not be based on hatred at all. But rather something much more explosive.
Wes
Ten years. Ten years since the entire course of my life was reshaped, and the trauma of it still plagues me nightly. The only time I'm not affected is when I'm driving to nowhere or verbally sparring with my neighbor. The same woman I slept with years ago. I'm drawn to her like a moth to a flame, unable to deny the pull she has on me. The feelings I've bottled up for years, growing more and more potent. When she finally gives me the control I crave, we both benefit from it. What starts out as something casual quickly becomes something grounding for us both. But then life throws another curveball at us, and I'm left wondering if the scars of our past will be the thing to truly break us."

"I walked out of my home and away from my loving sister to protect her.

"I finally went to get a tattoo.
It was supposed to be a beautiful white lily, but the big, grumpy tattoo artist had something else in mind.
Only, he didn't freaking tell me before he got started.
When it's time for the big reveal, I don't see a pretty flower; I see his name tattooed across the back of my shoulder.
He says I'm his. That I'm his mate. My friends tell him to go to hell.
That we're suing.
But this grouchy beast isn't shaken. He doesn't care one bit and keeps saying that he's marked me, so I belong to him now.
