One New Year’s masquerade. One anonymous hookup. One billionaire-sized mistake.
Once upon a time, someone looked at my scrawny, quiet eight-year-old self and nicknamed me Mr. Important… and I believed them.
That was my first mistake.
Two decades, a dozen failed careers, and a thousand meaningless hookups later, I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My parents have decided I’m purely decorative, my brother thinks I need pep talks, and the gorgeous billionaire who hired me as a favor to my dad? He’s forgotten I exist.
So I’m done with mistakes.
Call it my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going after what I want… starting with the mysterious silver fox in the Roman warrior mask who approached me at the charity gala and offered me a scorching, anonymous one-night-stand.
Unfortunately, when our masks come off I realize mistakes are not done with me.
Because the bossy guy who blew my mind? He’d thought I was someone else. Worse than that, he’s my father’s friend. A supposedly-straight workaholic. The person I’m stuck on a road trip with for the next two weeks. And, oh yeah, my actual boss.
The farther we get from New York, the closer we become, and the harder it is to pretend I’m not falling for him. But I can’t see how someone as brilliant, controlled, and successful as Thatcher Pennington would risk everything to be with someone like me… even if he makes me feel like I’m finally Mr. Important.

My life is defined by three men who hold the threads of my existence:
The architect of my darkness who sculpted me into the monster I've become.
The relentless hunter driven by a career-spanning quest to bring me to justice.
And the beacon of hope trying to save my tormented soul.
I am a walking paradox—a trained killer haunted by a longing for absolution from these traitorous desires. . . and revenge. And amid the carnage, an uncertainty claws at my conscience: was I born wicked, or molded into this abomination? Can someone drenched in darkness grasp the flicker of light? Or am I doomed to be consumed by the shadows forever?

Sandra:
I'm a girl who doesn't need a man. I've tried, but love isn't in the cards for me. Until one night, one fateful evening—I fell and fell quick. The love that consumes me for Dominic Torano is epic, one of storybook fairy tales. That is until he asks for the one thing I'm unwilling to give him. It had been a decision I'd made, well before we’d met, and as much as I want, I can’t change, even if it is for the man I love with my whole heart.
Dominic:
I'm just a guy in love with a woman who evokes a sense of serenity in my life. It's a beautiful love story, mine and hers. Until she tells me she won't give me the one thing I've dreamt of my entire life—my own family. Do I walk away, stating we're not compatible, or do I choose a woman over my future children, children I've yet to meet?

EXCERPT
My sister swore a weekend at the lake would be fun, and as the bare-assed man I met last night slides out of my bed, I'd say she was right.
It should be awkward, right? I know his name. I know he's the brother of Daimen Torano, who is Chicago royalty. He's hot and likes to tell me what to do in the bedroom. It's all I know about him, but what more do I really need? When was the last time I had sex before last night? And how many orgasms did I have?
He looks back at me, sliding his jeans up and hiding the excellent view. "I had fun. Same time, same place tonight, Rosso?" It's what he's called me since we crossed paths last night. After all, he’s obsessed with my flaming red locks.
This is insane. I love sex, and I'm not a prude, but meeting a man a decade younger than me, only to repeat it tonight—I may be almost forty, but I'm not dead. Nor am I stupid.
"Sounds like a plan," I answer, and he slips out of the room.
And it was the plan, but in the typical way my life seems to work, nothing goes according to plan, leaving a second night with Dominic Torano to my imagination.

Fortune may favor the bold, but lately, it hasn’t favored Bree Faust.
Raised in the neon-lit embrace of Fortuna Casino & Resort, Bree is a twenty-two-year-old with more than a smattering of freckles and a sense of loyalty that runs deep. When change is thrust upon her again, she finds herself at a major crossroads and is torn between embracing her legacy as Lady Luck or drawing a card for a new life filled with unknowns.
Enter Vinh Lott, a twenty-nine-year-old with a fierce protective streak and a heart scarred by fire. A reserved software engineer moonlighting at his parents’ new restaurant, Vinh is the steady rock Bree never knew she needed. When fate brings them together in the chaos of the casino, Bree faces the biggest gamble of her life—trusting Vinh to be both her anchor and safe harbor in the greatest storm she has ever faced.
As obstacles loom, from Bree’s demanding grandmother, the return of an antagonistic former friend, and the temporary nature of Vinh’s stay on the coast, their love story unfolds against the glittering backdrop of a casino resort. Will Bree and Vinh beat the odds, or will they lose it all in the grand game of love?
Lane O’Neil is a former enneagram Type 2 and current enneagram Type 9 (Cancer sign, if you must know) who loves change. You can just ask her husband—who is asked to rearrange their living room furniture every seven business weeks—to verify that statement.
Born, raised, and forever resident of Atlanta-ish, Georgia, she loves egg rolls, blankies, and her four dogs—a feisty mutt and three pitties, or “senior pitizens.”
Lane rekindled her love of reading during the tumultuous, emotional trench warfare time of her life known as the postpartum period after she had her first and only son in 2021.
That renewed spark led her to link up with indie authors as an alpha and beta reader, which eventually led to a crazy idea—one that had never once crossed her mind before.
What if she tried to write something?
Once her mortifying flashback to completing the writing portion of her SATs in 2009 was done and she took a shower to wash off the nervous sweats, she opened a document and began writing.

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.
How many of you remember your first love?
Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.
But this isn’t a love story.
This is a life story.
The good.
The bad.
The heartache.
It’s all here.
Love is truly a battlefield…
Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.
But it doesn’t make a difference.
The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.
So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.
Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.
Love hits you when you least expect it.
Are you ready for the fall?

But plans never go as, well, planned.
Also unplanned was running into a hot, prickly mechanic on my first day back in Sapphire Creek.

And based on the way the brooding man argues with me over an apple pie, it’s safe to say he doesn’t like me.

Before I know it, Austin’s occupying all my thoughts. I’m singing karaoke, bringing him coffees at his garage, and doing anything else I can think of to win him over.
And it works—a little too well.
One moment we’re arguing over who’s more stubborn, and the next, we’re crawling into his truck bed, a tangled mess of eager hands and bruising kisses.
It’s not long before Austin’s charming his way into my heart, but this thing between us is only temporary.
From the start, he’s warned me we wouldn’t have a storybook ending.
Maybe I should’ve listened.

I am an American Navy SEAL, and I will not be blackmailed by a goddamn Russian mafia boss.
Years ago, I parlayed a loan into a billion-dollar crypto fortune. The head of the White Russian Syndicate is demanding I pay it back in illegal military-grade weapons, but I won’t. I will not be responsible for adding to the misery of innocents.
It’s time to hit back at the head of the White Russian Syndicate.
So I kidnap the mafia boss’s niece.
Who I did not realize is my best friend’s estranged little sister.
Who he’s never mentioned.
Not even once.
Sarah is a sweet little hayseed right off her Iowa farm, but when the mafia boss decides she’s a liability to eliminate, she becomes my responsibility to protect.
We’re on the run. But with each passing day, with each attack I defend her from, every hotel room with only one bed, I’m starting to fall for her.
The Russian mafia wants Sarah dead, and her brother is going to murder me when he finds out I’ve gone too far with his sister.

EXCERPT
Dear Lord, her kidnapper was hugging her.
He reached with one hand, his shoulders shifting sideways, riffling through the duffel bag beside the bed and plucking out a square. “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” he rumbled into her neck.
He stepped back. Sarah almost fell forward into the cold air, hobbled by her jeans and panties around her ankles.
Blaze shoved his hands under her armpits and lifted her, not even giving her a chance to jump to help him, and he raised her over his head and planted her bottom of the cool metal roof of his car. “Oh!”
“Lie back,” he snarled as he bent, pushing with his hands on her calves and pressing her knees toward her chest.
After Blaze settled her at the dining table, he brought her a bowl of baked oatmeal and a tall glass of milk. “Eat.”
“Yes, sir,” she grumbled.
He braced his arms around her and lowered his head almost to her shoulder, whispering, “If you’re trying to be a smart aleck, try something else. I’m used to being called sir, and I like it.”
Darn military officer guys.
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I never plan to fail.”
Blaze was a predator by nature, and prey had tripped his instincts. He leaned toward her and captured her hand under his, a tiger snatching a rabbit that had ventured too close.
He shouldn’t.
