"Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Ryan Michele brings the action-packed, suspenseful, spicy next generation of Ravage MC filled with angst, loyalty, and family.
Why was he here? It could only mean one thing . . .
They were coming for me because Liam was never supposed to find me . . . ever. I'd been a puff of smoke for so long. A ghost. Now . . .
Yesterday, I had this hope I could have a future with Raid and the Ravage MC. Today, my world is shattered by his arrival.
One man from the past and one man from the present colliding in an explosion of jealousy, possessiveness, and maybe . . . love? Both want nothing more than to protect me and I could be their very demise. Except, these two men aren't strangers. Raid and Liam share a past all their own.
What happens when it all explodes? Can the Ravage MC help as my past world threatens to make all three of us disappear? Not all skeletons can stay in the closet and mine have rattled everyone close to me.

"Living at home without a job is not how I imagined my life after college would look. But just when I think I'm all out of options, one of the hockey players my father coaches finds himself in need of a nanny. Caleb Ford—captain and star center for the Aston Archers and widowed single dad.
I jump at the opportunity. It's a temporary arrangement, so I know there's no reason for me to get attached. Except there's one little problem . . .Caleb Ford is nothing like I thought he was.
Beneath that frosty exterior lies a patient, funny and kind man—a man so fiercely devoted to his daughter with a softness he keeps hidden from the rest of the world . . . but not from me. The longer I'm around him, the more I see the cracks beneath the surface–the grief he still carries with him and the guilt he refuses to talk about.
He says he's not ready for anything more, and neither am I.
But when we're alone, there's a magnetic pull neither of us can ignore. A heat that feels dangerous and a tenderness I never could have prepared myself for.
Falling for Caleb was never part of the plan. And neither was risking everything for a love that just might break us both.

"A fake girlfriend to improve my image? Yeah, like that'll work.
I'm known as the bad boy of hockey. The grump. The one everyone stays away from. Doesn't matter to me though. All I care about is the game. As long as I keep my head down and it doesn't affect my spot on the team, I'm good. Until it does.
To fix my shining reputation, the team sets me up with Piper Fields, the happiest girl on the planet. Now my girlfriend. Scratch that—my fake girlfriend.
All I have to do is pretend to like her in public and keep my distance in private. Except that's not exactly what happens . . .
With each day we spend together, I find myself forgetting that none of this is real. Sparks fly and lines blur. I know she feels it too.
Then, just when I thought I had finally found something to hold on to, someone threatens to expose us. But just like in the game, I'm in it to win, and this time, I'm going to win her. For good.
Best Laid Plans is a fake dating, brother's teammate, grumpy/sunshine, hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA!"
"Lennox
A string of bad boyfriends has me questioning my taste in men. They're either jealous of my job as a dancer at a strip club, or they use it as an opportunity to try hooking up with my friends. It also doesn't help that my big brother is the definition of overprotective, meaning nobody is ever good enough for me.
When I notice his best friend—his very straight, very good-looking best friend—at the club where I work more than once, I wonder if maybe he's not as out of my reach as I once thought he was.

My life is pretty simple, which is totally fine with me. I work remotely, spend time with my best friend, Nick, and ride my motorcycle. I've had a few girlfriends here and there, but nobody recently, and definitely not anyone serious.
When my boss has his bachelor party at a local all-male strip club, I know I have to make an appearance. Then I notice a fit body attached to a familiar face. I wasn't expecting to see my best friend's brother dancing onstage, but I also wasn't prepared for the feelings watching him perform brought out in me. But even if I wanted to explore anything with Lennox, am I willing to risk my years-long friendship for him?

"As the starting goalie for a professional hockey team, I should be oozing confidence and swagger. Too bad I'm as awkward as they come.
Things go from bad to worse when I want my teammates' help to set me up. Especially when the team's general manager is there to witness the train wreck of a date.
Until she proposes dating lessons . . . mutual dating lessons. How can the most confident, self-assured woman need my help?
What starts off simple and uncomplicated quickly turns into more. A lot more. She's supposed to be helping me with other women. But the more time I spend with Bexley, the more I want her. Only her.
We can't be together. She's my general manager. More than a decade older than me. There's no way this can work. Except it does.
When everything goes sideways, will the two of us find a way to make it work?
I can only hope the outside world won't crush the best thing I have going for me."
"Noelle: By day, I sell stories in my bookstore. By night, I'm writing my own spicy romcoms. My books are my escape.
In college, athletes were never my type. Not when the risk of letting someone that close always outweighs the reward. Which is why Dash Sterling, the hockey player who made lit class bearable, the guy whom I introduced to my then-best friend, was never even on my radar.
Now, one spilled coffee, one ruined dress, and he's suddenly everywhere. And worse? He's looking at me like I’m the story he wants to write.
Dash: I've been a goner for Noelle Pembrooke since the first day of lit class. She challenged me, made me laugh, and made me want more than I thought I deserved. But she never looked my way—not really. So, when she introduced me to her best friend, I let myself settle. A situationship, nothing real, nothing close to what I could have felt for her.
Now we're both in New York, our lives colliding again, and this time, I'm not standing on the sidelines. Noelle may secretly write her spicy romance full of happy-ever-afters, but luckily for me, she still hasn't found hers.
Some stories aren't just written. They are fought for.

"Navigating the stacks of a sentient library, as well as their simmering attraction to each other, a librarian witch and a monster hunter team up to save a mystical world from destruction.
As the newest hire at the Endless Library, Bells Mortevue finally has access to magic again and a chance to prove that the daughter of criminal necromancers can be trusted with power-even if it's solely used to seek and sort books upon infinite shelves.
Except a certain monster hunter refuses to let Bells do her job.
Rhett Waltham doesn't want help. Not when revealing the truth of his research would be a death sentence for his ailing human father. Preparing to risk his own life in a dangerous competition to save his dad, Rhett does not have time for a curious, tantalizing librarian witch who asks too many questions.
It's clear the Library disagrees, as the sentient space itself forces the two together. Bells warms to the grumpy hunter as she slowly earns his trust, though she starts to suspect a sickness is stirring within the walls of the mystical dimension. And when a deadly magic threatens to consume the entire Library-and the monster hunter's librarian-Rhett won't let either of them go without a fight."
"Phoenix is a hot drummer with a bad attitude. Tom is a punk-rock singer who's too hard to impress. Two problem children of their bands have one shot at making it big in this M/M rockstar romance―if they don't burn it all down.
Tom Cobalt has been called a lot of things. Arrogant god. Overachiever. Demanding, uncooperative, jerk. It comes with the territory of being the fifth-born of a storied family. Not even his own punk-rock band can meet his high standards. So when every member of The Carraways quits on him before finishing an album, he's left with a bruised ego and a major dilemma.
Reviving his childhood dream comes down to one infuriating choice: pair up with a hard-edged drummer or be dropped by his music label permanently.
Phoenix St. Pierre has enough baggage to ground every plane in New York City. He's volatile, sleep-deprived, and still carrying the fallout of imploding his own band. He should not be paired with Tom, the stuck-up trust-fund baby who pushes all his buttons―yet the second chance is impossible to walk away from.
Making music means too much to Phoenix and Tom to let this last shot slip through their fingers. But working together feels like a Shakespearean disaster ready to unfold. Especially when off-the-charts chemistry, undeniable attraction, and destructive habits threaten to make or break them.
It's nothing personal―but they just might be the best and worst thing that ever happened to each other."
"You know it's a bad idea when your escape to a postcard-perfect small town lands you crashing—literally—into the tattooed arms of Falcon Haven's most untouchable bachelor.
Saint Toussaint doesn't do second chances. Not after losing his wife. And not with his quirky five-year-old clinging to every temporary fix.
He makes it clear: two weeks, then I'm gone. But when those piercing blue eyes and calloused thumbs linger too long on my lips during a cinnamon-dusted 'lesson,' I'm left wrecked.
Saint's all growls and guarded walls, but I see the storm beneath, the fierce protector who'd burn the world for those he loves.
I'm supposed to keep it professional. Temporary. But with shadows from my past creeping closer and Ivy's gummy smiles melting us both, walking away feels impossible.
What happens when 'just two weeks' turns into the one thing neither of us can fake?

"From author A. R. Rose comes the Bridge Point Bears Book 2, a complete standalone baseball romance for the fans of brother's best friend, opposites attract, and sports.
My best friend's sister is my home run, but she's not playing by the rules.
From model student to college athlete, I've always chased perfection. Now, I'm in the majors—the starting third baseman for the Bridge Point Bears. I don't have time for distractions.
So what keeps me from fully focusing on the game? My best friend's sister, who feels like secret summer nights and everything I've been missing since I was a teenager. Eight years have passed and she's still under my skin, consuming my thoughts.
Indy Archer is trouble wrapped in fishnets and combat boots, with a sharp tongue and sexy curves. She hasn't changed a bit, and it only makes me want her more. We shouldn't have chemistry, but the pull between us has always been stronger than we can control. We shouldn't flirt, but it comes so naturally. And we definitely shouldn't kiss . . . but I'm seconds away from crossing that line—again.
Loving Indy doesn't just risk my heart. It risks the one friendship that's been my rock since I was a child. If I choose her, I lose him. And if I walk away, I lose us. I've spent my entire life playing by the rules. But Indy . . . she's a rule I can't seem to follow. Now I'm afraid I might learn what happens when you break them.

"Have you ever loved someone so fiercely you would do anything in your power to make them happy?
Even if it meant watching them love someone else?
It was love at first sight the day I met Wren Reid but a single misstep left me planted firmly in the friend-zone, so I promised her we would be best friends forever. I stood next to her as she married my teammate and I let the idea of her being mine fade away.
Only now she's back in Charleston; single, staying in my house, wearing my number, and I'm more determined than ever to prove she doesn't need any man.
But she can have me."
