When Liam's absent father was trying to earn back his family's trust, Birdie steadied him. When Birdie's senses overwhelm her, Liam is there to quiet the world. They were each other's foundation. Then college changes everything. Birdie is swallowed by loneliness and the exhausting effort of trying to fit into a world that refuses to understand her neurodivergence.

Liam is putting on a good front as the rising college basketball star with the NBA in his sights. He doesn't want anyone to know that he's completely breaking under pressure. He's failing all of his classes, the sport that once defined him has become a prison he can't escape, and his teammates slowly reveal just how cruel they can be. Liam tries to take it all on his shoulders, remembering the future he has planned for him and Birdie. When a prank meant to humiliate nearly becomes a tragedy, Liam is forced to face the truth of what his silence has cost nearly cost him. But will it be too late for Birdie? No cheating.

He's a gorgeous model. She has severe acne scarring. It doesn't help when she hears him brutally disparage her looks. So she teaches him a verbal lesson in humanity. That should have been that. So why won't he stop calling her?

At our gender reveal, my husband joked about getting my sister pregnant with a boy. Everybody thought that was hilarious. Except me.

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband. Do you promise to love him, honour him, comfort and keep him in sickness and health, for rich or poor, forsaking all others, till death do you part?" The moment, it felt so serene. I was at peace. Giddy even. This was the right thing. I was in the right place with the right person. No regrets, no what if's, no pain. Just peace, love and comfort.. "I do." .... But nothing is ever so perfect. Journey with Jasarie as she walks along the edge of her life. Will she make it or will the stresses of life give way beneath her feet.

He left a mark I never asked for. Now he wants to finish the piece. Amina Westbrook didn't choose motherhood. But when her younger sister dropped a baby and disappeared, Amina stepped up, raised that little girl as her own, and never looked back. Seven years later, the past comes tatted, cocky, and fine as hell-standing in the grocery store with the same hypnotic eyes her daughter sees in the mirror. Santiago Vega. Zuri's father. The man who left before he ever knew she existed. Now he wants in. He wants time. Forgiveness. A chance to be a father. And every time he shows up with that deep voice and soft smirk, Amina hates how badly she wants to let him. Santiago isn't just showing up for Zuri-he's showing up for her. Fixing things she didn't ask him to fix. Dropping money in her hand like it's his right. Touching her like he already knows how she breaks. Amina's been holding everything together for so long, she doesn't know how to let go. Doesn't know how to want someone who actually stays. But Santiago stays. Through the attitude. The boundaries. The sparks that keep catching fire. And when he finally gets his hands on her? There's nothing soft about it. Now she's spiraling in his sheets, clashing with him in front of her family, and falling harder than she ever meant to. Because Santiago doesn't just want to play daddy. He wants the whole damn family. And this time, he's not leaving until he has them. Ink Don't Lie is a gritty, emotionally charged, standalone romance about second chances, found family, and the kind of love that refuses to walk away.

I fell in love with Glory the first time I saw her picture. After what she'd been through, I didn't think I stood a chance, but I was willing to take whatever she was willing to give me. Because I was going to love this woman the rest of my life and nothing would ever hurt her again.

I'm married to a cover model/tattoo artist who swore his ex was history. She wasn't, as I was about to discover.

He left me. I gave birth to his triplets after our one passionate night together. I couldn't get in touch with him, and it wasn't until more than four years later that I saw him again. And then he was with the evil twin sister I never knew I had.
