My life is way too messy for her. I already have too much mayhem between the dog sanctuary and the Mob, but I just can’t let her go.

Then she walks into my dog sanctuary, Tristan’s Tails, looking for a job. I’m struggling to stay afloat as it is. I should tell her no, but I can’t. Is it because she’s curvy, beautiful, young?

He’s everything I ever wanted. Yet loving him could ruin my life. When I was a kid, Landon Cross was my hero. He took on Mom’s case pro bono so that we could stay together. I never forgot about him. He was an inspiration to me. Ten years later, he’s in my life again, more mature, silver in his hair, but just as tall, muscular, intense, and most definitely just as handsome. We meet during work, so I have to stay focused. I’m a social worker, and my case is becoming dangerous. Worse, my bosses know Landon and tell me he’s bad news. But when he reveals that he only has months left to...

He used to read bedtime stories to me. It was just a silly crush, but now we’re speeding across the country together. I’ve always been the dorky kid sister. Kai is eleven years older than me, ripped, rugged, and so intense every girl in town wants him, but he’s never had eyes for anyone. So there’s no way he would look twice at me. The last time he was here, I was seventeen. Now, at nineteen, he looks at me differently. At first, I think his broody, intense energy is anger, but then he offers to take me on a trip. I think he’s just trying to be nice. I don’t guess he’s hiding ...

He’s a mafia hitman, the only one who can save me, all because of a lie I told. Since Colt Walker gave me his number, I haven’t stopped thinking about the mysterious and dangerously attractive man. In a moment of desperation, I lie and tell him I’m being stalked, not expecting him to take it so seriously. Now, his protectiveness is off the charts, and his steamy texts are driving me wild.

There’s no escape. “You’re not leaving. You belong to me. Get used to it.” Blake Baird is a man who takes what he wants. And now he’s taken me. I came for the job as a maid but now… His dark eyes hint at all the things he’s done as leader of the Scottish mob. He won’t hurt me, I tell myself. He and Dad were best friends once. Surely that will keep me safe, but he wants steaminess, not violence. My self-esteem isn’t low, but hey, I’m a realist.

**Now an Amazon Top 70 Best Seller** When I leave a note for the mafia don at his table, I beg for his help.

I’m lucky to be working my dream job in a tattoo parlor. And now I get to tattoo my dream man? Kayden was a dog handler in the Marines, and now he wants to get his service animal tattooed on his muscled shoulder. No way an older, experienced guy would look twice at a curvy girl like me. Right? I’m shocked when he tells me, the rookie, to tattoo the piece. His body is a work of art, the sort that makes women—okay, me—swoon and obsess. How am I going to focus on my work when he’s shirtless? I try to banish the steamy thoughts. I tell myself it’s innocent, but his eyes tell a ...
