A girl chasing her dream. A boy looking for the light. When Florence Nyx started her internship at a Formula 1 paddock, she expected a lot. Fast cars. Exclusive impressions most people could only dream of. An entire array of skills she'd acquire. What she didn't expect was the avalanche of hurdles thrown in her way -- but none of them knew who Florence Nyx was behind her facade, behind the image of a world champion's daughter. She was fire. She was fast. And most of all... she was underestimated. Phoenix McCoy didn't know what hit him when he got thrown out of his team. His whole career was on the line, just because of that one stupid mistake. One mistake. How far will he go to rectify it? To pursue his dreams? One thing was clear: He saw the light, and he wanted it. All he could hope was he didn't get burned.

Distant descendant to the throne, Anevay was raised in a rural town where all she did was dream of life in the city, a life she knew she would never have. On the eve of her wedding to a man thirty-five years her senior, the kingdom is thrown into upheaval after a failed coup left her uncle, the king, and her cousins dead. And leaving Anevay herself... the heir apparent. She found herself torn away from the only world she'd ever known, and thrust into a position she was always told she would never hold. Queen. Palace life had none of the thrills of the city she'd dreamed about. But it did have several intriguing-and frustratingly handsome-men there, meant to assist her in her new duties as ruler. Riven, her guard, a headstrong and reckless man whose thirst for blood hid a softer, kinder side. Tolliver, her political mentor, an arrogant curmudgeon bent on making her feel a fool at every turn. Casimir, her personal palace physician, someone meant to know every secret of her body. And Penn, an ambassador from an exotic land she'd never even heard of, a devilishly good-looking and sensual man who always seemed to find a reason to be near. She was meant to be fixing the damage of the attempted coup, bringing her people back to the glory they'd once known, yet the lure of these men around her proves too strong to fight. But enemies abounded, threatening not only the relationships between Anevay and the men she was beginning to love, but the success of her kingdom, and her very life... * HEA. No triggers. Some swords cross (in all the ways that swords can cross), others do not. If you don't want to wait for new chapters, this book is available to purchase on your favorite retailers.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, but can Dacian overcome his past to secure a future worth living? Or will his demons destroy his one chance at happiness? ********* "You are the most arrogant, self-centered, callous asshole - " She abruptly cut off as Dacian approached until he stood directly in front of her, and then leaned both hands on the wall to either side of her head. The brick was cold against her back but she could feel Dacian's body heat radiating toward her. "Wh-what are you doing?" she stammered. "Waiting for you to keep telling me how much you dislike me," he murmured, staring at her mouth like it was a glass of water and he was parched. ********* Ranked #3 in Dominance on 01/28/2023 [[word count: 70,000 - 80,000 words]]

NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!!! 1st book in the Sternato Series (now called Captivation by Kate Taylor) It's a tale as old as time: a daughter paying for her father's sins. Mia Santoro has spent years distancing herself from her father's world-carving out a quiet life and atoning for the blood on her family's hands. But the mafia never really lets go. When her father is caught embezzling from the family, Mia is taken as collateral-dragged into the world of blood and betrayal she's spent her whole life avoiding. All she has is her unshakable compassion and a fierce determination to protect the people she loves. But nothing could prepare her for him-the man who pulled her into this life. Logan Sternato doesn't believe in mercy. He was raised to see love as a liability, emotion as weakness, and loyalty as a price paid in blood. When he takes Mia, he expects fear. Compliance. Obedience. Instead, he finds softness that disarms him-a quiet strength that unsettles him more than violence ever could. She makes him feel. And for a man like Logan, that's the most dangerous thing of all. Surviving the mafia is one thing. Surviving each other is another battle entirely.
