As the new underboss of the Venturi crime family, Alessandro's first mission was to take out the men responsible for attacks on his new don and donna. But things don't go as planned when one of his men finds himself with a life-threatening injury.
To save his friend, Alessandro heads to the hospital to take what he needs, the beautiful and smart surgeon he finds leaving the hospital at the end of her shift.
To save her own life, Sienna must first save Alessandro's man, then she will be allowed to return home but things don't always go as planned.
For as long as she can remember, Nikki Rose has enjoyed writing stories. For years, writing was just a hobby for this South Carolina native. It was a way to let out all the stories floating around in her head. After one of those stories took on a mind of its own, outgrowing even the parameters of a single book, Rose knew she had to pursue her dream.
Married to her high school sweetheart and best friend, Rose feels she is truly living out a romance story of her very own. As a stay-at-home mom of two, she is blessed with the time needed to work on her writing career full-time while her kids are at school or in the wee hours while normal people sleep. She considers herself a music-obsessed chocoholic and hopeless romantic who enjoys weaving romance stories with a healthy dose of mystery and suspense.

Boulder Series
Author: Eve L. Mitchell
Genre: Contemporary Romance
The Boulder Series is an interconnected series that explores the relationships between friends, family, and the family you choose…with some love, heat, and underground fighting along the way!
The series covers tropes of forbidden romance (ex-boyfriend’s older brother), enemies-to-lovers, friends to lovers, opposites attract and second-chance love.
The Boulder Series will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. You will laugh, scream, feel the characters’ excitement, and it’s possible you may throw your e-reader (just make sure it lands somewhere soft).
A complete four-book series that has all the feels. What’s stopping you from jumping into Boulder?
The series includes Unbroken Devotion, Dark Heart, Unbroken Bonds and Dark Soul.
UNBROKEN DEVOTION
You can’t help who you love…even if it is your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.
I had no idea our breakup wouldn’t be the worst part of my day when I went home that night. Or that kissing the brother of my ex at a funeral wouldn’t bring me any comfort.
The plan was to start over. A fresh start, far away from them both, and everyone else who cared about me.
Nothing is ever as easy as it should be.
I was still the same old me, and my fractured heart wasn’t prepared for a tumble down memory lane with the same people—and feelings—that I was running from.
Colton Dawson was off limits, or he should have been. Yet, the heart wants what it wants…and mine wants Colton.
But how can I stay away when his world keeps colliding with mine?

DARK HEART
Nice guys finish last. Words I live by. In my world, it pays to be the bad guy…and I’m very good at being bad.
I have a thriving business built on blood, sweat and tears—literally. Underground fights are my bread and butter, and no one interferes with that if they know what’s good for them.
Not even some expensive-looking blonde, with dark blue eyes and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop.
Babysitting Lela Morgan starts out as a favour to a “friend,” but the longer I’m forced to look out for her, the harder it is to keep my hands to myself.
And the more I want her, the crueller my words become. But in my dangerous world I cannot afford to be seen to be going soft.
For the first time in my life, I’m close to losing control. The harder I push her away, the harder she pushes my buttons.
But she’s tougher than she looks, and she’s not going down without a fight.
Could it be that enemies make the best lovers?
UNBROKEN BONDS
Opposites attract…and we’re complete opposites in every way.
Hope Walker is quiet, studious and someone I have overlooked for far too long. But when I crash her study session in the library, it’s clear she knows exactly who I am.
It would seem that my playboy reputation precedes me, and for once, I wish it wouldn’t.
Because the more I get to know the girl hiding behind the books, the more I want her.
After she helps my friends and I out, I wonder how I could have been so blind to what’s been right in front of me all along.
My friends are my family, like brothers, but our bond is stronger than blood—and that bond is currently being tested.
When a dangerous enemy threatens to take her away from me, I will do anything to keep her safe. Even get my hands dirty…and lie to my brothers.
When the truth catches up with me, will it break our bond for good?
DARK SOUL
There’s no rest for the wicked…or a single father.
I should know. I’m getting a crash course in parenthood. Lela has left…and I don’t know where she is.
I’m left picking up the pieces and learning to balance being a wicked alpha and a new father.
In my line of work, weakness is a death sentence.
The sharks are circling—and they’re out for blood. My blood.
But if they think I’ve gone soft, they’re about to get a rude awakening.
Because if there is one thing I do know, it’s that this dark soul never loses.
When an old adversary returns to collect a debt, bringing new temptations…will it cost me everything?

“What the hell?” He stood on the other side of the door. “Where’s the doorknob?”
I leaned down and spoke through the hole where the knob used to be. “It’s in here with me. The lock jammed, and the knob came off in my hands when I tried to pull it open.”
“Alright. Give me a minute. I need to run next door to get a screwdriver.”
“I have one now! I picked it up after the beeping incident, so I wouldn’t need to bug you again. It’s in the top drawer in the kitchen!”
“Okay, great. Hang on.”
Two minutes later, the door popped open. It wasn’t until I saw Holden’s face that I remembered I was only wearing a tank top and underwear, sans bra.
He gulped and took a long look before turning his head. “Sorry. I didn’t realize you weren’t dressed.”
I wasn’t the only one scantily clad. Holden had on only a pair of boxer briefs, his beautiful tanned skin and carved six pack on full display for my eager eyes, yet again. I couldn’t stop myself from staring. Silence ticked by until Holden turned his head back, probably to see why I’d grown quiet. “You oka—”
My eyes rose to meet his, but not before he’d caught me ogling him.
I shook my head and laughed nervously. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare. I just hadn’t expected you to be in your underwear either, I guess. It caught me off guard.”
Holden ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, I’m sorry if I checked you out, too.”
I should’ve just left the bathroom and covered up with a robe, but something about being near this man made me say and do things that were completely out of character. “Would you mind if I…looked a little more?”
Holden’s brows shot up to his hairline. “You want to check me out?”
My face heated. I shook my head and looked down. “Oh my gosh. I’m so embarrassed. I think the lack of sleep and stress from being locked in here made me a little bonkers. It’s just that maybe we both have some pent-up curiosity about what we look like as adults. I mean, I’ve only stolen glimpses of you without a shirt on since we were teenagers in my backyard pool. And you certainly haven’t seen me in a skimpy bottom and no bra since then. I guess I was thinking if we took a good, long look, once and for all, we might get it out of our systems.”
Holden stared at me. I could see the wheels in his head spinning. Eventually, his eyes dropped to my chest. “You have no bra on…”
I shook my head. “No bra.”
He swallowed. “Let’s do it.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “Fuck yeah. I’m going to hell anyway. Might as well enjoy the ride down. But you have to stay in the bathroom, and I’ll stay on this side of the doorway.”
“Okay.” I bit my bottom lip. “You look first.”
“Why don’t we look at the same time?”
I nodded. “Good idea. How long should we do it for?”
Holden shrugged. “A minute?”
“Do you have your phone?”
“No. I thought someone broke in and you were being attacked. My phone was the last thing on my mind.”
“Mine should be on the coffee table. Do you want to grab it so we can use the timer?”
Holden walked away and came back ten seconds later. “What’s your code?”
“Zero, seven, one, three.”
He started to type and then froze before looking up at the ceiling. “That’s the day you’re getting married, isn’t it?”
I nodded.
Holden cursed as he went back to typing. “I’m so fucking going to hell.”
He called up the clock app and then turned the phone to show me. The countdown was set for one minute. His finger hovered over the green button. “You ready?”
I nodded.
Holden pressed the button, and we began to openly ogle each other.

BLURB
From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.
Just don’t do it.
Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.
As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.
The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.
Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.
After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.
Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.
Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.
And things started to get complicated.
Especially since she was engaged.
And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.
Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.
Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.
But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?
