​Jasmine Brooks is done with games. ​After a devastating betrayal forced her to pack up her textbooks and leave her college life behind, she has only two priorities: helping her brother, River, care for their sick mother, and keeping her guarded heart under lock and key. The last thing she needs is to be dragged along in the wake of River's professional hockey team, the Charlottesville Kings. ​The Kings are ruled by arrogance, ice, and one man in particular: Jaxson Sterling. ​As the team's notorious captain, Jaxson is used to getting exactly what he wants- on and off the ice. He's devastatingly handsome, fiercely protective, and accustomed to a world where no one ever says no. But when he meets Jasmine, her razor-sharp wit and total lack of interest completely shatter his expectations. For the first time in his life, Jaxson is rejected. And for the first time in his life, he's utterly obsessed. ​An anonymous text exchange begins to shift the ice beneath her feet. ​The mysterious texter challenges her. He plays a daily game of high-stakes truth, revealing a vulnerable, human side that slowly dismantles Jasmine's defenses. Little does she know, the man behind the screen is the exact same playboy captain she's trying so hard to avoid in the real world. ​When the truth finally collides with reality, a fragile truce is formed: just friends. But between late-night texts, secret run-ins, and the undeniable pull of Jaxson's true character when the "Captain's mask" comes off, the boundaries they set begin to dangerously blur. ​When Jasmine's past threatens to resurface and destroy everything the Kings have built, Jaxson proves he will do whatever it takes to defend her. But with River's protective gaze and the team's strict rules hanging over them, falling for the captain isn't just risky- it's a betrayal of the brotherhood. Can they keep their forbidden romance hidden in the shadows, or will the heat between them melt the ice and ruin it all?

Warning: Contains a feisty but humorous heroine and a morally bankrupt crime boss who's dangerously obsessed with her. ---------- "Please, Deacon," she pleaded quietly, "promise me you won't do anything to him." Hearing my name in her soft voice disarmed me. It was as though she had somehow found my weakness and exploited it. She was my weakness, I realized. "Mo chridhe, you can only belong to me. No other man is allowed to fucking have you." Quietly, she nodded, a strange expression flickering across her face. "Take however long you need to accept that. But in the meantime, if you allow any man to so much as fucking touch you, I will kill him." She didn't respond for a moment, only searched my face. "Why do you want me to belong to you so badly?" she asked, bewildered. Unable to stop myself, I lifted my hand and traced the side of her face with the back of my fingers. Delight shot through me when she didn't flinch away. "Because I fucking belong to you." ---------- Sofia My life was normal before Deacon Kincaid walked into it. Well, as normal as the life of a journalist with type 1 diabetes and a massive crush on her best friend-slash-foster brother could be. That was until I wrote an article that changed everything. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have gone after the country's most dangerous criminal. But my judgment was clouded by stubbornness and foolish ambition. Now he has me trapped and if I don't do everything he demands, I won't only lose my life, but I'll be putting the lives of the people I love in danger too. My only chance at survival is to dance with the beast... and hope I don't get swallowed whole. ---------- This is the second book in the Billionaires Obsessed Series, but it can be read as a standalone. The book contains mature and dark themes, please do not read it if these themes negatively affect you in any way.

*A Heir of Silence Spinoff* Enzo Moretti was never meant to rule. Third-born. Uncrowned. The weapon, not the king. But when the Russian Bratva fractures and its Don is violently removed, the throne doesn't go to the prepared-it goes to the feared. And Enzo's name carries weight. Sent to Russia to stabilize a crumbling empire, Enzo steps into a world built on ice, blood, and loyalty enforced at gunpoint. He doesn't speak the language. He doesn't know the politics. But he understands violence, power, and what it takes to survive when mercy is a weakness. At his side is Maya-the strategist assigned to keep him alive. She never wanted to return to Russia. The past she buried there refuses to stay frozen, and every step forward drags old ghosts into the light. But as Enzo claims a throne he never asked for, Maya becomes more than his guide-she becomes his anchor in a country that devours the unprepared. As past and present collide beneath frozen skies, enemies circle, alliances fracture, and the line between control and destruction blurs. In Russia, power isn't inherited. It's taken. And the ice doesn't care who you were before it crowned you. Heir of Ice

Anna Rafferty left New York two years ago to find herself. Not because she was running. Not because she was afraid. But because somewhere between the violence, the secrets, and the trauma that changed her life, she'd lost herself. For two years, she built a life on her own terms. She traveled. She healed. She learned to preserve things most people considered beyond repair, restoring rare books and forgotten stories while trying not to think about her own. Because some trauma isn't dealt with. It's buried. Returning to New York was supposed to be simple. Be closer to her family. Purchase the rare bookstore she'd fallen in love with years ago. Continue building the future she'd fought so hard for. The only complication... Julian Mercer. The powerful, devastatingly handsome and infuriating Don of New York, a man she should stay far away from. A man her sister can't stand. A man she hasn't seen since the night she left the city. Unfortunately for her, Julian Mercer has never forgotten a debt or Anna. What starts as a favor quickly becomes stolen moments, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them seem capable of walking away from. The problem? Julian is a man built from secrets and Anna has spent the last two years burying her own. When a string of brutal murders rocks the city-random, violent, and seemingly unconnected-every road somehow leads back to one person. Anna. As detectives begin circling, asking questions she can't answer and digging for secrets she can't share, Anna finds herself caught between the life she's carefully built and a past determined to drag her back. And the closer the danger gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the man she's spent two years trying to forget. Because Julian Mercer has always been dangerous. The difference is that now Anna has something to lose. Not her safety. Not her freedom. But her heart.
