"Welcome to the world of the Mason family—where success runs in the blood, trouble is never far behind, and falling in love is the one thing no one sees coming.
The Masons have built an empire from the ground up.
From boardrooms and blueprints to sold-out arenas and small-town streets, they're known for their ambition, loyalty, and larger-than-life personalities.
What they're not known for?
Playing it safe when it comes to love.
A chance encounter. A lifelong rivalry. A forbidden workplace romance. An unexpected responsibility. No matter how carefully they plan their futures, the Mason brothers quickly discover that the heart has a way of rewriting even the best-laid plans.
Filled with witty banter, unforgettable chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and all the emotion readers have come to expect from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke, the Mason Family series proves that sometimes the greatest risk is letting someone love you.
And sometimes the greatest reward is loving them right back."
"Ellie Pagan made one promise to herself: never give Ford Landry a second chance.
She’s determined to leave him in the dust right where he belongs.
That’s been easy … until now.
The military hero strolls back into town looking like a whole snack. As if that’s not bad enough, he’s flashing her an almost-irresistible smile and insisting that leaving her was the biggest mistake of his life.
But Ellie? She’s not interested in rewriting history.
Her days are filled with opening her dream boutique and caring for her aging father. There’s no room in her life for broken promises—even if Ford smells delicious, says the swooniest things, and his arms still feel like home.
She promised herself she’d never give him a second chance.
But is it a second chance if she never stopped loving him?"
"Paige Carmichael needs a place to stay.
Unfortunately, there’s only one person she can ask for help—Nate Hughes.
The grumpy single dad has plenty of reasons to say no. He’s her boss, for one. He’s also ten years older than her. And the fact that she has her V-Card and he’s … well, experienced, wouldn’t matter if they didn’t have chemistry for days.
According to Nate, that’s not a problem. Why? Because chemistry isn’t love.
It’s manageable. Temporary. You can walk away from it.
So, Nate does the one thing he shouldn’t. He offers her a room in his house.
Before they know it, they’re sharing late nights and pillow talk, and early mornings and pancakes.
And his son? He has Paige wrapped around his little finger.
Before long, they start feeling more like family than friends.
That leaves Paige wondering if Nate says chemistry isn’t love because he believes it …
Or because he’s terrified it is."
"Camilla Landry has spent her entire life doing what’s expected of her.
Falling for the repairman wasn’t part of the plan.
Dominic Hughes is tattooed, guarded, and carrying more scars than he’ll ever admit. The mixed martial artist is everything the Landry heiress should avoid—and he knows it. To him, she’s just blowing off steam. He’s just another rebellion she’ll eventually outgrow.
He’s okay with that. At least, that’s what he keeps telling himself.
But the longer their relationship stays hidden, the harder it becomes to pretend they’re only passing time. Somewhere between sneaking around and secret dates, they find the one thing neither of them was looking for.
Something real. And that was never an option.
Walking away would be easier than staying together.
Too bad neither of them wants to call it quits anymore."
"Alison Baker has one rule: never fall for a rich man again.
She learned that lesson the hard way.
Now the single mom is focused on raising her son and protecting the quiet life she’s painstakingly built for them. After all, love is messy, and peace is priceless. And powerful men in expensive suits? Absolutely not.
Then she meets Barrett Landry.
The billionaire mayor is used to people wanting something from him. Alison is the first woman determined to want nothing at all. Naturally, that only makes him more determined to earn a place in her life. It doesn’t hurt that her young son steals his heart from the start.
But falling for Barrett means stepping into a world she never wanted—one with an intense spotlight, campaign trails, and constant headlines. And as Barrett’s election race heats up, so do the secrets and sacrifices that threaten to pull them apart.
Protecting her peace was one thing.
Surviving Barrett’s world may be impossible."
"Mallory Sims is late for her first day of work.
An empty gas tank, spilled sweet tea, and syrup stuck to her arm will do that to a girl. She’s convinced the day can’t possibly get any worse.
Then she meets Graham Landry … her new boss.
Custom-fit suit. Black-rimmed glasses. A look so stern her libido doesn’t stand a chance.
The billionaire businessman had every intention of firing his new secretary before she arrived. Unfortunately for him, the frazzled, free-spirited beauty who barrels into his office (and arms) is impossible to dismiss.
They couldn’t be more different if they tried. He thrives on order. She’s the poster child for chaos. He’s grumpy and serious, and she’s sunshine wrapped in candy wrappers and good intentions. It’s a clash of two very different worlds.
So why do they fit together so perfectly?
Graham has spent his life sticking to the plan—one that never included Mallory. And the harder he tries to keep her at arm’s length, the more impossible that becomes.
Maybe he should’ve fired her.
Not for being late.
For stealing his heart."
"Danielle Ashley doesn’t date athletes. Period.
She’s seen firsthand what comes with fame, fortune, and men
who always put the game first. She’s worked too hard building a life she loves to risk it on a player like Lincoln Landry.
Too bad he’s determined to prove her wrong.
The baseball superstar isn’t used to striking out, and the more
Danielle resists him, the harder he swings. He pulls out all the stops to get
her attention, coming up with an impressive playbook.
Too bad she keeps score.
Somehow, it works.
Before she realizes what’s happening, Lincoln isn’t just stealing her attention. He’s stealing her heart, too.
But there’s one problem.
She swore off athletes for a reason.
And loving Lincoln Landry doesn't make those reasons disappear."
"Welcome to the Landry family—where loyalty runs deep, love never comes easy, and happy endings are always worth the fight.
From billionaires and baseball stars to military heroes and grumpy bosses, the Landry siblings seem to have it all. But beneath the success, wealth, and charm are men and women searching for the one thing money, fame, and power can never guarantee: true love.
Fall in love with six unforgettable couples in this heartwarming collection filled with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, emotional second chances, workplace romance, single parents, opposites attract, forbidden love, and the tight-knit family that readers can’t stop talking about."
"She needed a job. He needed a nanny. Neither of them expected it to be this complicated.
Bonnie Delmar is one month away from homeless. Taking a temp nanny job for Manhattan's most intimidating billionaire isn't the plan — it's the last resort. One month, one paycheck, and she's gone.
Then the elevator doors open, and she's face to face with Arlo Noble.
The man from the best night of her life. A night he, clearly, does not remember.
Arlo is guarded, commanding, and exactly the kind of powerful man Bonnie promised herself she'd stay far away from. But he's also unexpectedly tender with his five-year-old son, dangerously handsome, and apparently just as unsettled by her presence as she is by his.
She should tell him the truth. She should quit. She should absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for a man she was never supposed to see again.
She does all three.
And when the consequences of one reckless, inevitable night catch up with her, Bonnie realizes this 'temporary' arrangement has just become a whole lot more permanent."
"What happens on tour in Europe doesn’t stay on tour in Europe. Not when you’re a rock star’s fake girlfriend.
As assistant tour manager for the Tin Gods, I love my job. Especially the delicious eye candy that is their manager.
Too bad he doesn’t see me.
The Tin Gods’ drummer has a brilliant plan: I should fake date guitarist, Xander Lang, to keep Xander’s crazy ex—who’s now their opening act—off his case. And it’ll also make my crush finally notice me.
Simple.
Only problem is once we start “dating” lines get blurred. His kisses don’t feel pretend. And when did Xander become so thoughtful…and crazy hot?
Now I’m a tangle of emotions and confusion.
So much for simple."
"In-hiding hedgewitch florist by day. Powerful demigoddess by blood. Shapeshifting immortal by accident.
After a terrible divorce left her blindsided, all Evie Quinn wants is a relaxing girls' trip to Scotland, not a fight for her life with a Chimera shifter—an ancient, secretive enemy with the power to shapeshift into anything with a pulse.
Surviving the attack is a plus, but her goddess mother drops a bomb on her: Living will change everything.
And… it does.
Now she's hiding out in a small town running a popular flower shop, doing her best to resist the urge to gnaw on raw meat every chance she gets, and badly pretending she's the same ol' lovable hedgewitch she always was.
Except, spoiler alert: She's not.
When a foraging trip reveals a dying shifter in the woods, Evie breaks all the rules to heal him and vanishes before he wakes up. Cue immediate panic when that dangerously attractive shifter walks into her shop a few weeks later, and she finds out he's the Alpha of every single shifter in the state.
Eep.
Fortunately, he's only looking for a florist, not Evie. Not yet. But divine magic brews in the skies, and the wild gods are on the prowl, searching for the source of a long forgotten ancient magic they sense stirring once again.
As Evie's secrets claw their way to the surface, she realizes she may have to team up with the one man who can save her life.
If he doesn't destroy it first.
For fans of dangerous supernatural tension, enemies-to-lovers romance, and reluctant heroines, Shift of Heart is the beginning of a dangerously addictive and magical new series."
"I never wanted to take a life. Now, I have no choice.
People say that showing mercy makes you strong, but I know otherwise. Mercy only brings pain. It shows that you're weak—that others can touch you without consequence.
I've learned my lesson the hard way. Someone I once loved is threatening my men's lives and tearing mine apart. They think they can control me, but I'm not the same woman they remember.
I gave mercy once. I won't make that mistake again.
