NEW dark and steamy MC romance series! 🔥 In this small desert town, the club is law. Loyalty is earned in blood. Love is a liability. And the past always finds its way back. Welcome to the Martyrs in Mayhem MC. ⸻ Thea... After everything fell apart, I ran. I left California with nothing but regret and desperation, chasing the only family I had left. My brother. But the man I found wasn't my brother anymore. He was an outlaw. A criminal. A biker in a world ruled by violence and loyalty thicker than blood. At the center of it all is the club's president. A dangerous, possessive man I slipped out on after one reckless night. How can I run from one dangerous man into the arms of another? I'd soon find out my past wasn't done with me. It was already on its way to this small, desert town in New Mexico. -- Maverick... My brothers and I have sacrificed everything for our club to uphold the laws we abide by. Whether it was through our own blood or that of our fallen family members. As president, I don't get the luxury of weakness. My job is to keep the money flowing, the cops off our backs, and my family breathing. Love? That's a distraction that gets men killed. Or worse, women hurt. Then she walks into my club. One look and I know she's not the kind of woman a man forgets. By morning, she was gone, leaving nothing behind but a fake name and tangled sheets. That is, until the spitfire storms into my clubhouse asking for one of my brothers. The resurgence of a past enemy brings trouble at our door as a mysterious strain of bad drugs is leaving dead kids around town. But we've learned from our club's history and aren't willing to bow down so easy. It's not a time for distraction as the stakes get higher, but I can't get her out of my mind. And if she's not careful... she's going to find out the outlaw lifestyle doesn't let go.

In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the crucial sixty-minute window after a traumatic injury-the brief span of time when the right care can mean the difference between survival and loss. Dr. Mason Carpenter lives for that hour. At St. Mary's Trauma Center, he is the golden boy of the Emergency Department. He's brilliant and calm under pressure. He's addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, the absolute rush of saving patients knocking on death's door. At home, he's a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart - the love of his life - Honey. Or, he used to be. Honey Carpenter has loved Mason since they were fourteen, since he was the gangly boy with hearts in his eyes who stumbled through asking her out for ice cream. She stood beside him through medical school, residency, crushing debt, sleepless nights, and every sacrifice it took to build the life they dreamed about. Now she is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He's missing ultrasound appointments, the gender reveal, the baby shower, and, most importantly, he's not there to support Honey - who's having an incredibly difficult first pregnancy. Honey feels her husband is drifting farther and farther away into the ED, and no matter how many times she tries to tell him she is lonely, exhausted, and afraid, Mason gives her the same answer. "They need me." But Honey needs him too. As her pregnancy progresses, her loneliness twists into something darker, but her doctor dismisses her symptoms as "first-time mom jitters." And her husband is too busy saving strangers to see his own wife fading away. Until Honey collapses at home and is rushed into Mason's emergency room, fighting for her life and their daughter's. Now Mason has to reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what it may cost him - the woman he loves more than anything. And he can't lose Honey. He won't survive it. 💛 Second Chance 💛 Marriage In Trouble 💛 No Cheating

Before Marlowe Ackerman goes away to Brown University, she does the bravest thing she's ever done. She confesses to her best friend, Oliver Abbott, that she is in love with him. And Oliver breaks her heart gently. To him, Marlowe is his safe place. His best friend. The one person who has always been there for him. His feelings for her have never changed, and he is certain they never will. At eighteen, Oliver is desperate for a fresh start after years of being the awkward, gangly dork. Parties, girls, fraternity life, reinvention-he wants everything he thinks college is supposed to give him. But once he gets there, nothing feels right without Marlowe. While she thrives at Brown, Oliver falls apart. He fails classes, wakes up hungover, surrounds himself with the wrong people, and slowly realizes the reason his feelings for Marlowe never changed is because he has loved her all along. But he's too late. When he goes to tell her, he finds her in bed with her boyfriend, Sam. Jealousy and heartbreak make him spit ugly, cruel words he will regret for the rest of his life. Marlowe ends their friendship for good. Ten years later, Oliver has changed. He is a history teacher at their old high school, a wrestling coach, and a man who has spent a decade learning from the worst mistake of his life. When he hears that Marlowe Ackerman is coming back to town for their high school reunion, Oliver knows better than to think he deserves a second chance. But he wants one. Not just to tell Marlowe he still loves her. To show her he has become someone worthy of loving her the way she deserves. He was her almost. Maybe now, he can be her always.

Not enough to destroy it. Just enough to make it tremble. _______________________________________ Levi Thorne, the billionaire CEO preparing to merge with Eli's company, recognises the precision immediately. And when he reaches out to the mysterious "Ghost" behind the architecture, he finds something far more dangerous than sabotage: a woman who has been underestimated for far too long.

Andi Doyle built her life on her own terms. She owns a coffee shop in South Boston that she's poured everything into, shows up fiercely for the people she loves, and learned one thing the hard way: she won't be an afterthought. Not for anyone. So when Gavin Byrne walks into her life with quiet intensity and a smile that makes her forget herself, she lets herself believe this one might be different. He's steady. Present. Real. Until she realizes she's been waiting for a place in his life he never fully made room for. Gavin doesn't understand what he's done until the distance between them is undeniable. He thought he had left his past where it belonged. He didn't see how easily he defaulted to keeping parts of his life separate - smoothing things over, choosing the safer explanation, minimizing what mattered most when it felt complicated. By the time he recognizes the cost of that mistake, Andi is already walking away. Fighting his way back to her is one thing. But reconciliation doesn't bring peace. The past he thought was settled resurfaces with its own agenda, threatening the life he's fought to protect and forcing Andi straight into the center of it. Now loving each other isn't the only risk. They'll have to decide whether what they're building is strong enough to withstand someone determined to tear it apart - or if some mistakes really do turn almost into never... or into always.

I didn't wake up one morning and decide to fall out of love. It was slower than that. Quieter. No big affair. No lipstick on the collar. Just a slow erosion of "us" every time he chose her over me. This isn't a love story. It's a resignation letter. And I signed it with a smile.
