Zoey Gunner never visits Pine Falls, Colorado, her mother's mysterious hometown. But when Zoey's estranged grandmother passes away, the crafty crocheter volunteers to venture into the unknown to clean out the woman's cabin. Besides, she needs some distance from a set of lovingly overbearing brothers. A chance to prove her independence. But when an unclear flyer lands Zoey and her balls of yarn in the middle of a motorcycle club's bar, she becomes tangled with the residents of Pine Falls. One handsome biker in particular seems hell bent on tying her up in knots. Warner Jameson wants Zoey. She smells like the perfect mate with a side of maple syrup and her laughter is the sweetest sound he's ever heard. When the woman appears in the Dark Moon Riders' bar toting a bag of crafts and showing no fear toward the mass of intimidating bikers, it's all Warner can do to keep from kneeling at her feet. The problem is, not only is Zoey an out-of-towner, she's human. And he's...not. Unwilling to let his supernatural secret ruin his happiness, Warner decides to show Zoey just how lovable a monster can be. It helps that she needs rescuing a time or two. But what start out as unlucky accidents, soon become clear actions of sabotage against the woman he's falling for. Someone in Pine Falls doesn't want Zoey sticking around. Asking her to stay is dangerous but leaving means a broken heart... *Note: this story has not been professionally edited. Sorry for any typos!

💫✨COMPLETED✨💫 NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON MY KO-FI! See link in bio🔗 Doctor Nina Ma'atanoa has just achieved her lifelong dream: to be the first human woman to set foot on the lush alien world of Dreenai. Surrounded by its incredible natural beauty and eight-foot-tall, semiaquatic humanoid inhabitants, Nina participates in a first-of-its-kind exchange program overseen by the tall, dark, vaguely frightening Doctor Ardus. From the start Doctor Ardus seems none too happy to have Nina around, but after Nina proposes that they become friends the strained atmosphere turns steamy, like a hurricane about to make landfall. Since discovering that the Dreen are not alone in the universe, Doctor Ardus hoped to meet and work with the inhabitants of a world struggling to recover from climate disaster. But the tiny woman he brought on board with his research team is just so distracting! She is so strange-looking, with her long hair and exaggerated curves and startling grey eyes that remind him of a storm at sea. Not only this, but she is a true scientist and a witty, curious woman with a talent for getting the stoic, serious Dreen completely flustered. When a frightening illness strikes Nina and Ardus must find the source and come up with a solution before the Federation shuts down the program and pulls the two biologists apart, possibly forever.

Lyra, a recent college grad on a break with her narcissistic boyfriend, flees to a beach town where a steamy affair with a billionaire CEO forces her to choose between meeting others' expectations and pursuing her dreams. Lyra's boyfriend of four years wants a break. What Lyra wants isn't of much importance, though. At least, not to her parents, who think her dreams are just a phase. Agreeing with people is much easier than trying to prove them wrong, and that's what Lyra has done for a while. Right until the impromptu solo trip to the coastal town of Marfolk. Right until the meeting with the dark-haired, blue-eyed Emrys. He gets under her skın like no other man, and soon they're caught in a riptide of a forbidden, passionate romance. Too bad it has an expiration date-the day Lyra returns home. Content warning: this story contains mentions of domestic violence that can be upsetting to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

#1 Werewolf (08.09.2022) Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Skylar Morgan has been tormented by the same recurring nightmare. Now, eight years later, she's finally found peace in a quiet town and opened the shop she always dreamed of-accepting the nightmares as a strange, unsettling part of her life. Until the newcomers arrive. Among them is a striking, rugged stranger whose presence changes everything. With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized. And the nightmares she carries may be the key to a legend that binds them together... and a threat hiding in the shadows. With their fates intertwined, Skylar and Dmitri must uncover the truth before the puppeteer behind the chaos destroys them both. Bound is not your typical shifter romance and contains more mature characters with a focus on the relationship and character development. This book contains some curse words and explicit sexual scenes as Skylar explores her sexuality. This book is for a mature audience.

"Skylar. My love. A stranger. I look at her as she halts in her step, her hazel-doe eyes not looking for mine as I hoped they would. The breeze blows her scent towards me, one I have not smelt for days. I inhale deeply; cinnamon, jasmine, apple, and Sky's unique scent assaulting my senses. My eyes close and my fists clench, my Lycan forcing me forward. Damn, I missed her. That feeling was driving my Lycan and me insane. Literally." Join Skylar and Dmitri on the next part of their journey. Will the puppet master playing with their fates finally be revealed, and will the love they shared be strong enough to endure?

Being in an abusive relationship is hard, but leaving is even harder. I never thought my sweet, charming boyfriend I met freshman year of college would've ended up this way, but he did, and I don't know how to get out of it. But on my twenty-first birthday when his older brother and I are left alone, we make a mistake. A big mistake. It should've just been a one-time thing, but some things are just too hard to stay away from. Maybe, just maybe, Lucas Weston can be my dirty little secret. And I can be his.

Hill Swartz LLP: a name synonymous with precision, power, and cold efficiency. Founded by the iron-willed Sebastian Hill and the sharp-as-a-knife Daniel Swartz, the firm is a kingdom built on rules, boundaries, and the unwavering separation of the professional and the personal. Their world runs like a finely tuned machine, each part moving seamlessly, each cog in place. Until, one call shatters everything. Daniel's father is gravely ill, and there's no time to lose. The urgency is immediate, and there is no room for hesitation. He must go. But there's a problem-his daughter, Rene. Stuck in the throes of law school, she can neither go with him nor remain in her family's home. As the cherished, overprotected girl of the family, she's Daniel's world, and no one else would do. Not even the hands of strangers. So, in a moment of desperate clarity, he does the only thing he can. He entrusts her into the care of his firm's partner, the ever-composed Sebastian Hill. Sebastian's first glance at Rene is like a bullet to the chest. He's been through it all-nothing rattles him, nothing unseats him. Or so he thought. But in the silence of that first look, something snaps. A single instant, and a chasm forms between them, deepening and widening with every breath they take. It's not enough to drown them, but it's enough to bring a storm. This storm, however, is like none either of them has ever faced. The situation is tragic, vehemence unhinged, with emotions spinning out of control like a tempest that neither can predict nor contain. Boundaries are blurred, hearts are torn between what they want and what they know is forbidden. Their struggle will change the course of their lives, their firm, and their very selves. The question isn't whether they will fall-it's how far they will fall and if they'll ever find their way back. [First Book of the V-series] A Stand-alone Novel.
