The Blurb:
In a world of secrets, the biggest risk is the truth.
Gus Falk, the brilliant and demanding CEO of Nexus Integrated Security, runs his life on logic and control. So when Juliette Dubois--a woman with a minimalist resume and qualifications far exceeding the receptionist job she’s applying for--walks into his office, his instincts roared that she’s a puzzle he has to solve. Hiring her is a risk, but one his gut tells him to take.
The gamble pays off when Juliette’s sharp instincts uncover a sophisticated espionage plot targeting one of Nexus’s most important clients. Thrown together to hunt a faceless enemy, their professional relationship deepens into a powerful, undeniable attraction. But the corporate spies are nothing compared to the ghost from Juliette’s past, a man who won’t stop until he has his revenge.
As the danger escalates and secrets unravel, Gus’s mission to protect his company becomes a fierce, personal vow to protect her. Now, the only way to be truly safe is to trust him with a secret so dangerous, it has the power to either save her... or shatter her life forever.

The Blurb:
Discover a landscape dripping with blood and luxury in the heart-pounding adventure that introduces readers to St. John Kraft and the world of, Nine, his exclusive auberge on the Lake Tahoe shore.
When one of St. John's employees shelters a woman on the run, St. John is dragged into an extortion scheme spreading from the wastelands of rural Nevada to the halls of Congress, with shadow armies on both sides, all gunning for him. Now, if he wants to protect everyone and everything he holds dear, he'll need the deadly skills he hoped he'd never need again.

Mercifully, in this merciless world, St. John has his wife, Janelle Kraft-Wilson, by his side, a practicing attorney with a moral compass set on true north and a grounded sense of justice. And he has his leadership team behind him: Bruce "Buzz" Corcoran, a blood brother from the Service, and Brenda Sacks, the chief administrator/fixer/concierge/and social sorceress. But now they -- and everyone else he cares for -- are in the crosshairs.
And, as the body count climbs, they may not be enough against the relentless forces of evil and madness St. John must face.

- Fast-paced, heart-pounding thrillers

⚠️ Kink, light BDSM, parent illness, manipulative mother, past physical parental abuse
The Blurb:
Five years is a long time to love someone from a distance.
But I’ve finally finished my degree, broken free from my Kentucky momma and her pageant dreams, and moved to Chicago to be with my soulmate.
Step one: move in and make up for lost time with Darius. Intimately.
Step two: land my dream job and start fresh.
Easy enough… until my mom starts scheming to drag me home and slap a crown back on my head.
And then there’s Arlo--Darius’s best friend and frustratingly hot roommate. He’s moody, brash, and impossible to ignore.
When I find out he and Darius have shared women before, everything shifts.
I shouldn’t want both of them. Good girls don’t get tangled in fantasies that include two men. They don't wonder, what if. They definitely don’t tempt a man like Arlo… Right?
This book is perfect for readers who love:
- High-spice, emotional MFM romance
- Soulmate reunions and second chances
- Roommates-to-lovers tension
- Heroines learning to overcome guilt and expectations

“I pledge myself to you. Until the darkness kills the light, until the heavens cease to burn, I will be yours…”
That was the promise she made in life. Now that Lillia Sparre is dead, those words have become a chilling curse. War is raging in the underworld. Her soul is forfeit. And if she wants to outrun her fate, she must trust a monster more devious than the one who hunts her.
In a mansion atop the hill dwells Sitri, a cold-hearted demon Prince who deals in secrets and subservience. He knows an enigma when he sees one. The magic seal Lillia wears, and her mountain of secrets, mark her as his enemy’s property. Sitri simply must have her. He will become her shield, and her warden, if that’s what it takes to keep his crown.
He doesn’t see her resolve. She spent her whole life breaking chains, and his are no different. She would dare to lie to the Prince of Lies himself, and cast Hell’s hierarchy into chaos, if that’s what it takes to escape.
But when Lillia’s past creeps in to claim her, she finds her back against the wall. The Prince she despises is all that remains between her and the demon who owns her soul, and Sitri’s facing dangers of his own. Surrounded by enemies and uncertain of their allies, there’s only one place left to turn; each other.
This book is perfect for readers who love:
- Dark fantasy with demon princes and underworld politics
- Enemies-to-allies romance
- Heroines determined to break their chains
- Stories of secrets, lies, and dangerous choices
