Single and ready to mingle. Or at least thatโs what my best friends think I should be.
When I suggested to my group of friends for us to try new things because our twenties had almost slipped right past us, Iโd imagined us going on some girlsโ trips or at the very least trying out new food spots. Instead, one by one, since Halloween, each of my girls not only found the one, but they fell in love at first sight.
Now, on the eve of some speed dating event the week before Valentineโs Day, I literally bump into someone who makes me think maybe, just maybe, happily ever afters are possible. Heโs everything I could have ever asked for. Older and charming, Caleb Walker takes my breath away while we dance in the rain by the lake. Lightning strikes and sparks fly!
But will this single dad with a dirty mouth who insists I call him daddy still think itโs love at first spark after the lightning storm ends and he finds out who I really am? Or will life and reality get in the way?
๐ NOW LIVE ๐ Cursed Nevermore by Khardine Gray Shadows and Curses Series Book 2 Cover Designer: Cover Craft-Fantasy Covers by Julie Genre: Fantasy Romance, Romantasy
I live on borrowed time. Every thirty days, my world resets. My memories vanish, and my curse begins again, erasing everything Iโve fought to hold on to. It happened again. Which means I failed. Failed to break the curse. Failed to find my father, the one who started this. Failed to remember the truth.
And now Iโm told Iโm engaged to a man I loathe. Our wedding is two weeks away. Perfect timing for my life to fall apart. Again.
Then I meet a stranger in the woods. A mage like me. She whispers of another life I donโt rememberโฆ and a love I once burned for. A Fae prince cloaked in shadow. An enemy turned lover. My Hades. Wolfe Nightblade.
And then he appears in my dreamsโdark, fierce, heartbreakingly familiar. He calls me Ziyka. He says I belonged to him. That he bound his soul to mine, and he will scorch worlds to find me. I donโt remember him. I donโt remember us. But something inside me does.
When he steals me away on the eve of my wedding, and forces my hand in marriage, the world I thought I knew unravelsโฆ along with the fragile walls around my heart.
War was already coming. Taking me started another: Between realms. Between fate and choice. Between the girl I wasโฆ and the one my Hades swears Iโm destined to be.
I donโt know if I want to stop himโฆ or burn with him.

Harley Thorne has just started on her journey. Her star is finally shining. But, sadly, as was her whole life, things never stay bright.
She decides her only recourse is to ignore everything, and hold a firm grip on her freedom she fought so hard for, no matter what.
The problem is her newly assigned bodyguard, a member of a one man team that seems to be able to grind everything on his path to dust with a single flick of his wrist, Carter Ryan. He makes her want to throw all caution to the wind, and take a walk on the wild side.
Carterโs been through it all, at the hands of life (and women) too, so he knows exactly what he wants.
What he wants is Harley.
Sheโs also the last thing that he needs.
Harley tries to go in gently, she then tries pushing. But, when Carter shatters her poet’s soul with a simple no sheโs broken, and she runs into the wind.
Up against an onslaught from a woman who is adorably confused in the morning, sings like a siren, and in one song bares her soul to him as she sings the words she wrote about him, Carter might not stand a chance.
But then, while heโs on the brink to surrender to Harelyโs light, gets a hint that there are demons in her history, and in her present. He has no other choice.
Set against a backdrop of suspense and illicit romance, where a rockstar goddess and a bodyguard become entangled in a web of lust, loyalty, and lies promises a heart-racing journey from the shadows of betrayal to the possibility of forgiveness.
Can Carter find whoโs threatening Harley and keep Harley safe, or will his failure mean the end of their forced proximity in the most gut wrenching way?
Dive into this gripping romantic suspense to discover if love can truly conquer all.
โAll I wanted was a lifetime of tomorrows, but you left me with only yesterdays.โ
Harvey
Deviant. Abomination. Monster.
These thoughts haunted my very existence and left me with scars I hid.
Life had no meaning until he showed up with the voice of an angel and a body built for sin.
All-consuming, I was obsessed with the man who showed me how to live again, to feel, to breathe.
But the voices in my head wouldnโt stop, and as much as I tried to ignore them, ultimately, I was too weak and surrender seemed the only option.
I lost the man I loved, and I lost myself.
Three years later, I see him again. He hasnโt changed; only his eyes reflect the hurt I caused him. Will he ever forgive me?
Can I put his demons to rest as I have mine?
Killian
Addict. Philanderer. Disgrace.
Had I ever been anything else? Why not add murderer to the list and complete the set?
Shunned by my family, I moved to England, tried to lose myself in drugs, women, and men. When that didnโt work, I turned my focus to the only other thing I knew โ singing.
What I didnโt expect was to fall for the quiet, reserved man full of issues and trauma. He soothed my soul like no other, brought light to my life, and gave me a reason to live again.
But then he left, and my heart wasnโt just broken. It was shattered.
Singing became my everything, my way of coping with the grief that tore me up inside.
A chance encounter, and heโs back in my life. Can I ever forgive him? Do I want to?
What if weโre making the biggest mistake of our lives?
A Lifetime of Tomorrows is an MM story, the first in the Shattered Men series with a guaranteed HEA. Trigger warnings for addiction, self-harm, internalised homophobia. Mention of suicide, both thoughts and intent.
As head of security for the Kosher Nostra, I am paid to observe, read people, and filter through bullsh!t. So tell me how I’ve gone 20 years without realizing that one of my soulmates has been by my side this entire time? Christopher Montgomery has been my best friend, roommate, confidant, and partner in crime since we were kids, but it takes a Goldman Girl to make me realize he was always meant to be so much more. And as much sense as he and I make together, we aren’t complete without Sophia. She is the anchor that ties us to this world, the light that keeps the darkness from closing in on us, and the reason we fight when all hope is lost.
Life in the mafia is never easy. The softest and sweetest of the Goldman Girls, Sophia is having difficulty processing the violence that surrounds her, in part because of her father. He might be dead, but the wheels he set in motion are still spinning.
Our love strengthens her, but is it enough to survive what’s next?
Author’s Note: Yakov is the sixth book in the Covenant of Ascent; Kosher Nostra series and features a relationship between two men and one woman. It includes coarse language, sexual content (MFM, MM, MF), crude humor, sarcasm, and violence. This is not a standalone. Series must be read in order to understand continuing story line, even though each book focuses on a separate couple with a guaranteed HEA or HFN.
I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of. Killing my Enforcer isn’t one of them.
Leviathan
For three years, Cain beat her behind closed doors while I looked the other way.
She was his woman. His problem. None of my goddamn business.
Then I caught him choking the life out of her in my parking lot.
Something in me snapped.
I stripped his patch, and when Ripley showed up at my door covered in blood, I made her a promise.
No one will ever hurt you again.
Now she’s living in my clubhouse. Sleeping in my bed. Looking at me like I’m something other than a monster.
I don’t do soft. Don’t do feelings. I’m cold, I’m calculated, and I’ve got enough blood on my hands to drown in.
But this woman?
She makes me want things I don’t deserve. Makes me feel things I thought were dead. Makes me willing to wage war against the Chief of Police just to keep her safe.
They say I’m obsessed. Possessive. That she’s got me twisted up and stupid.
