Introduction
Danny Ramirez
As a Probationary Firefighter, I'm doing everything I can to impress the members of my company. Knowing I'm the first in my family to be educated makes me proud, and gives me hope for the future.
I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else, especially with a southern small-town breathing down my neck. One night, on a dark mountain road, I help the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life change a flat tire.
What I don't know, is she's the youngest daughter of my Chief. His number one rule? Don't date his daughter's.
I try to stay away from her, try like hell, but when a forest fire threatens our town, and the guys in my company. I know I can't let her walk away from me. Not without a fight.

Chapter 1
Prologue
FROM THE TEXT MESSAGES OF DANNY RAMIREZ AND HAYDEN HUDSON
D: Do you give your number to every guy who comes through your line at the bank?
H: I was wondering if you'd get the balls to text me or if you were going to be scared of my dad.
D: Not gonna lie, your dad being my Chief is intimidating, but I just keep thinking about how you looked today.
H: Oh yeah? How was that?
D: Like your perfect hair needed to have some fingers run through it. That shirt, it was just a little too high. A finger tucked into the spot your cleavage made would pull it down just enough so I could see what we're working with. And that lipstick? The color that wasn't exactly red, but not black either? I'd like to see it smeared across my lips too.
H: Holy hell.
D: Yeah, I say what I mean and mean what I say.
H: I guess I was lucky you're the one who stopped to help me change my tire.
D: I wanted to do so much more than that.
H: Why?
D: Everyone in this town knows me. I'm the rookie at the firehouse with parents who come from the wrong side of the tracks, but somehow manage to make everything work. You don't know me; there aren't any preconceived notions.
H: Didn't we go to high school together? We're around the same age.
D: Wrong side of the tracks, remember. I went to West.
H: Oh yeah, I went to East.
D: It's not like we ran in the same circles.
H: So, what kind of things do you want me to know about you, Danny Ramirez?
D: I'm a hard worker and loyal to a fault; I love my job and family; and I'm slightly dirty when it comes to the women I admire.
H: Sounds like someone I'd be interested in getting to know.
D: Then maybe you'd like to go out with me tomorrow night.
H: So soon?
D: If not then, I'll be on my twenty-four.
H: Twenty-four hours is a long time to work. What do you do with the downtime?
D: Watch YouTube and take online classes to further my education. Besides, don't act like you don't know what your dad does to rookies. There's always something for me to do at the station.
H: You're not scared of him finding out?
D: I'm more scared of not taking a chance on what could last a lifetime.
H: If you think you're up to it, I'll meet you tomorrow night. Mountainside BBQ?
D: Sounds good to me. What time do you get off work?
H: Five-thirty. Meet you at six-thirty? Give me a chance to change.
D: I'll be there. You want me to come pick you up?
H: As much as I'd enjoy it, we don't want to fuck this up before it even starts. My dad sees you and it's over.
D: You were the one afraid I was worried about it. Looks like you have your own issues.
H: Don't we all?
D: I gotta get to bed. It's been a long day.
H: See you tomorrow?
D: Very excited for it, Hayden.
H: Me too.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
A pack of their own
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
Bound by Fate, Freed by Choice

As a dangerous attraction simmers between Lyla and Rowan, they begin to unravel a dark web of secrets that implicates Kaiden and threatens both their worlds.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.

The Hunter and The Hunted
Mihai’s hand slowly slides up my stomach, his fingers wrapping around my neck as he cuts of my ability to breathe, black spots clouding my vision, and yet, I am not afraid. I want more. I want everything that he can give to me.
He slowly inserts a third finger, the intense fullness that I feel teetering me over the edge of a cliff I cannot even see, and then he sucks and pulls at my clit. Sparks erupt throughout my body, the orgasm shaking my soul, and destroying what was left of my resistance.
She was the Daughter of a Hunter, he was one of the creatures that her family had sworn to destroy, what could possibly go wrong?
When their worlds collide, who will be left standing, will it be the hunter or the hunted, and which is which?
Mates: Regrets and Redemption

Curtis, the boy I once loved, still holds a promise I made, but the Alpha’s powerful presence pulls me deeper into his world. Should I forgive Curtis and keep my word, or should I risk everything for a chance at something wild and unpredictable with the Alpha who won’t take no for an answer?
“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
