For the past three years, Bren Hadaway has been preparing to die. When he was sixteen, he watched his dad murder his mom. And ever since, he's been counting down the days until it was his turn to be at the end of a gun. And Bren has never really cared. His hellish childhood combined with his learning disability instilled in him the idea that having a real future was never in his cards. Until now. Bren spent his first semester of college falling in love with the one girl he'd do anything to live for. He relived his past, fought his demons, and gave up on his own goals-all so he could help Madie Lenertz escape her abusive boyfriend. But now Bren has no choice but to find his dad so he can quit looking over his shoulder. So he can stop waiting to die. Because suddenly the only thing in the world that Bren Hadaway wants is a future. And he wants it with her. This story is a sequel to It Burns Within Us, and it is the second installment in the Wildfire Series. ***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY***

Alive at Night, Awake at Dawn, Attached at Heart are available now. Already at Risk, which follows Collins' brother Cameron, is coming on October 16th. Thank you so much! When a college freshman with a learning disability and a reputation collides with a straight-A, straight-laced girl in the dorm kitchen one night, he sees the darkest parts of himself reflected in her. But the two of them resist acknowledging their hidden truths, and their forbidden connection, until ignoring it all becomes too perilous. *** Bren meets Madie during his first week at college, and he's certain he should have nothing to do with her. First of all, Madie has a boyfriend. And second of all, Madie's boyfriend radiates a toxicity that Bren only just escaped from growing up. But knowing what he should do doesn't help him at all. Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her. But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it." "I feel it," came her breathy reply. When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.

The only thing that Wednesday-or Nessa-wants is to find a love like her parents have. But she's also pretty sure she's never going to find it. She isn't the type of girl who guys fall in love with. She's the type of girl who guys think they can just fall into bed with after one too many beers. That's what college has taught her anyway. But then she meets Grayson Everett, and he's hell bent on changing her mind. Nessa can't quite figure Grayson out. As a member of the Oakland State football team, he instantly gets put on Nessa's no-way list. But then she learns that despite his hard exterior-his very hard, muscled exterior-he's a music education major with a soft spot for kids and a few heartbreaking secrets. It's only a matter of time before he starts breaking her down, too. She just hopes it isn't her heart that gets broken. **Book 3 in the Wildfire Series but can be read as a standalone**

Azari has been on the run for four years, trying to keep herself and her little brother safe. But when a couple find them injured in the woods, she's rushed to the doctor and then finds herself living among Wolves: what she was taught to be her greatest enemy. She's not sure how to feel, especially when she realizes how nice and welcoming these wolves are. Could the teachings she grew up learning be completely wrong? On top of living with Wolves, the Alpha's son is incredibly interested in her. His voice sends chills down her spine and his touch creates electricity she's never felt before - and she's been living with a brother who can take and create energy. She knows it means she has a connection with the Alpha's son, probably romantically. But she doesn't know why, or how - given she's a dragon shifter. As the two become closer, and Azari gets more comfortable living among people she once viewed as her enemy, she's no longer sure if she'll be able to keep her most guarded secret safe from the world. Just because one pack is the epitome of kindness, the surrounding packs might not be so understanding. ________________ -possibly will become a series -Latin is used, but I translate with Google Translate because I definitely don't actually know Latin.
