Becky For three years, Carter Stewart was the perfect boyfriend and fiancé...until a few weeks ago. Late nights, cancelled dates, and strange phone calls begin to overshadow our wonderful, happy life together. I let it slide at first; my vision clouded by trust for this man. That is until one message, one lie, and finally, one confession brought everything I thought I knew crashing down around me. While I'm picking up the pieces of my shattered life, Carter starts popping up all over the place, acting like the man I always thought I knew. I desperately try to hold onto the logic of leaving him, but soon, I learn that everything is not as it seems. Carter One random, stormy afternoon, a gorgeous woman and her dog came stumbling into my perfectly ordinary life and made it into something extraordinary. Now all I want is to do more-to be better for Becky Duchamp. Only, in my jumbled attempts to make those improvements, I made stupid choices that hurt her. I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. Now I have to live with the consequences and let her go...or I can do everything in my power to win her back. Personally, I've never been a fan of consequences. **** An extra angsty, sometimes humorous, small town romance about two imperfect people who might just be perfect for each other.

Theodore Bancroft is intelligent, despite what some may think, but he has never had the respectability that an investor needs. He needs a wife to bolster his rakish image. A perfect wife. Adelaide Kingsley is perfect. Her one imperfection - getting caught in the Haversham gardens with Theodore Bancroft - is entirely by design. Not only does it get her out of her impending engagement to the odious Lord Greeling, but it also wins her the only thing she has never known: freedom. Her marriage to Theodore is more than convenient. It is a space for her to find herself for the first time in her life. Somewhere along the way, she starts to wonder if convenience has turned into love. Then, she finds her husband in a passionate embrace with another woman. NOTE: HEA between OG couple. Trigger Warnings: Dark themes surrounding sexuality, cheating, revenge cheating, questions of sexuality during an oppressive era, some domestic violence, and scenes of BDSM/control in a sexual context, depictions of disordered eating.

*Book Three in the Gentleman's Proposal Series* Ginny Greene is only one London season away from spinsterhood. Having spent all of her seasons thus far pining after the wildly uninterested (and emotionally stunted) William Bancroft, it is now time to focus on marrying a man who might reasonably have her. There is only one problem - William Bancroft has suddenly taken notice of her. William Bancroft has known that he would marry Ginny Greene from the moment he set eyes on her. Now, finally ready for the chase, he finds himself in the unique position of courting a woman for the first time in his life. But Ginny does not merely want courting. No, she wants love. Affection. Easy intimacy. All things that Bancroft knows he cannot offer her. But, bastard that he is, it does not keep him from trying. Content Warnings: This book contains themes of religious trauma, CSA, scenes containing self-harm, and some violence. Note that while Books One and Two in this series can be read separately, this book requires having read both of the others (unless you don't mind being a little confused).

Nina Reyes lost her job, her health insurance, and maybe her last shred of stability. She's barely scraping by when she's appointed roommate to her high-school tormentor: Lincoln Carter, golden boy graphic designer... turned amnesiac who thinks they're dating. She doesn't trust him. Not his charm, not his chiseled jaw, and definitely not his sudden need to make things right. Lincoln Carter doesn't remember much before the accident, except Nina's warm brown eyes. But she flinches when he gets too close and flattens him with one-liners and vagueness. He does know possession. Nina feels his. He also knows guilt. Sticking and sinking into his skin. Now he's on a mission: figure out what happened, fix it, and win her. Even if it means airing out a few secrets. Forgiveness is not enough, he wants forever. #3 Top USA Stories 09/01 #1 Overheard - 09/02 #11 FamilyDrama - 09/25 #27 ContemporaryRomance - 09/24 #1 amnesia-love-story - 09/26

When the moment comes for Dillon to speak up and defend me, he doesn't say a word...and reality comes crashing down.
