You never forget the man who saves you from your worst nightmares- Especially when he's the one you swore you'd never let in. Aurora Sinclair would rather be alone than let anyone see her scars. But when her family hires a bodyguard after a string of terrifying threats, she's forced to share her luxury apartment with Marco Mikhaylov; a tattooed ex-con with cold eyes, filthy secrets, and no patience for spoiled rich girls. They hate each other on sight. He's too controlling, too close, too good at reading her weaknesses. She's stubborn, reckless, and makes his job hell. Every day is a battle: arguments that crackle with electricity, close quarters that leave nowhere to hide, and late nights where hatred starts to blur into something much more dangerous. But as the stalker gets bolder, and the line between protection and obsession shatters, Aurora and Marco's forced partnership turns into the fight of their lives. Every touch burns, every secret hurts, and every night together strips them down to the truth: sometimes, your worst enemy is the only one who makes you feel alive. Bloodline Ties is a dark romance for anyone who loves the taste of forbidden and the thrill of enemies who can't keep their hands off each other. Content Warning: This book contains themes of trauma, abuse, stalking, violence, and explicit scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires.

It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries.

She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice.

Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************
