GARETH CARSON & KAYDEN LOCKWOOD I find myself drawn to him, irresistibly so. Each day, I observe him, him wearing those black-framed glasses, or in that button-down shirt that clings to him as if it were a second skin. And it's challenging not to be smitten. Yet, there's a tension that lingers in the air, a silent acknowledgment of the line we dare not cross (or maybe he's the only one who acknowledges it, because I can't find myself to give two fucks about it). Despite his claims, his actions betray him; he is not the gentleman he claims himself to be, and that realization only fuels the forbidden fire that smolders within me. Kayden Lockwood, there's a truth within you that's clawing its way to the surface, a truth you're trying to suppress. But I see through the facade. I know the desire you harbor, as undeniable as the pulse that thrums in your veins. I am Gareth Carson, and my resolve is ironclad. I will stop at nothing to claim you as my own. You may resist, push me away with all the force of a tempest, but in the end, you'll find yourself drawn to me-irresistibly, inexorably. Because, Kayden, some forces are too potent to be denied.

NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!!! 1st book in the Sternato Series (now called Captivation by Kate Taylor) It's a tale as old as time: a daughter paying for her father's sins. Mia Santoro has spent years distancing herself from her father's world-carving out a quiet life and atoning for the blood on her family's hands. But the mafia never really lets go. When her father is caught embezzling from the family, Mia is taken as collateral-dragged into the world of blood and betrayal she's spent her whole life avoiding. All she has is her unshakable compassion and a fierce determination to protect the people she loves. But nothing could prepare her for him-the man who pulled her into this life. Logan Sternato doesn't believe in mercy. He was raised to see love as a liability, emotion as weakness, and loyalty as a price paid in blood. When he takes Mia, he expects fear. Compliance. Obedience. Instead, he finds softness that disarms him-a quiet strength that unsettles him more than violence ever could. She makes him feel. And for a man like Logan, that's the most dangerous thing of all. Surviving the mafia is one thing. Surviving each other is another battle entirely.
