She’s the town good girl.
He’s the sexy bad boy.
But a one-night stand is about to bring consequences neither expects.
Serendipity assistant district attorney Erin Marsden rarely makes mistakes and is perfectly content with her predictable life, thank you very much. Until the day sexy Cole Sanders returns to town and tempts her off her good-girl path.
After seven years of deep undercover work, Cole Sanders comes home to help his aging dad and rediscover his buried sense of right and wrong. He’s not there to get involved with the town’s good-girl, who has always been off limits to a bad boy like him.
But Cole’s a rebel at heart and he just can’t ignore their blazing-hot chemistry. He also can’t ignore the consequences of their intense one-night stand—Erin is pregnant with his baby.
As if that’s not enough to make his protective instincts kick in, Erin’s current case has danger written all over it. But Cole is determined to protect the woman he loves, and Erin finds herself succumbing to his alpha demands.
Now Cole just needs to prove to both himself and Erin that he can give her and their baby the love they deserve.

He told me he loved me, then abandoned me.
My sister was his first choice. Too bad for him, I refused to be his second.
Dante Leone was bad news with a gorgeous exterior and a dangerous mind. Emotionally unavailable and slightly unhinged, he was a heartbreak waiting to happen. Again.
I ran. He gave chase and my fate was sealed.
Roaming the world, I searched for a vital part of me. There’d be no new beginning until I found my answers. My taste of freedom was sweet, yet lonely. And oh, so fleeting.
I should have known he would catch up to me. After all, he thrived on the chase. I’d learned that the hard way.
But guess what?
I was no longer the woman he seduced all those years ago. I no longer believed the pretty lies that passed his lips nor the false promises in his deceitful eyes.
My name is Phoenix Romero, and I’d make the rules this time around.
Like my namesake, I had risen from the ashes and this time, I would be the one to make him burn.

Release Date: November 12, 2023
BLURB
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl.
After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest.
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more.
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time.
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together.
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number.
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on the other side.
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord and she was about to be evicted…
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410.

Title: Viking
Series: Valhalla Rising MC #1
Author: Andi Rhodes
Genres: MC/Paranormal Romance
Tropes: Soulmates/Reincarnation
Release Date: September 22, 2023
BLURB
Humans are taught that death is the end, that it’s their soul’s final curtain call. But for the members of Valhalla Rising MC, death is only the beginning.
Viking…
I never asked to be one of the chosen, never dreamed a place like Valhalla existed. Yet that’s exactly where I ended up when a Valkyrie plucked me from obscurity. I’m respected here, celebrated as a fallen warrior, but none of it lessens my vicious need for revenge or fills the hollow parts of me.
As president of Valhalla Rising MC, it’s my job to make sure the Warrior Code of Conduct is adhered to, and that Odin’s orders are carried out. But that becomes infinitely more difficult when I’m sent back to the land of the living for a mission that puts me in direct contact with a Legacy. And then there’s the matter of the beautiful woman my soul seems to recognize.
I know I can complete my mission, but I’m not as convinced I’ll be able to do it without breaking all the rules.
Makayla…
As a doctoral candidate in mythological studies, I’m doing my thesis on Valhalla. I’ve always been obsessed with tales and legends that get passed down through the generations. I love my life, my little corner of the world I’ve carved out for myself. So much so that I’m immersed in history to the point that I’m oblivious to the danger lurking in the present.
When my space is invaded by a man who insists that I’ve got things all wrong, my existence shifts into something unrecognizable. Where there was once order and understanding, there’s now chaos and uncertainty. And I don’t hate it… because he’s there.
I know he has rules to follow, but will they hinder his ability to keep me safe? Or will he break them for me… for us?

Cover Design: Sarah Hansen, Okay Creations
Release Date: January 9, 2024
BLURB
Indy Watson is desperate.
Life hasn’t always been unkind to her, but that’s probably because she’s always been cautious. She wasn’t looking for trouble, but over the last year, too much happened outside of her control. Everything had gone from bad to worse. And if Indy doesn’t want to spend the winter living out of her car—and possibly freezing to death—her only hope is landing a job at the local ski resort.
Griffin Ross doesn’t want for anything.
Part of that is because he built his fortune as a professional surfer, but it’s mostly because he doesn’t live a lavish lifestyle. Griffin lives for the adventure. That’s why he’s currently living out of his camper traveling all over the west coast wherever the snow is falling.
Under normal circumstances, it’s unlikely Griffin and Indy would have ever crossed paths. But when an avalanche traps the pair at a Colorado resort, the opposites find avoidance is impossible.
Within days, Indy finds herself struggling not to make all the same mistakes again. But Griffin is determined to show her that, sometimes, it’s okay to chase the storm.

I was prepared to be that sacrifice if it would keep my family safe.
Loving Azrael? The thought never crossed my mind. He was and would forever be my enemy.
He’s not the only monster coming for me, though, and somehow, it’s in Azrael’s arms I feel the safest.
But I need to be careful with him. I need to guard my heart because if I don’t, he is sure to destroy me.

The bearded and brooding man is clearly desperate to win back the love of his life, and she’s all too willing to help if it’ll break up the happy couple.
But the more she tries to interfere with the wedding and the closer she gets to Zack, the more confusing Tilly's feelings become. About a decades-long friendship, about what she thought was love, and most terrifyingly, about the way Zack saves all of his smiles for her.
