He helped her believe in forever, then he used her trust against her. Phoenix Lane has spent her entire life proving herself. She's built a reputation on hard work, long hours, and never letting anyone see her struggle. For months, Jackson was the one place she could rest. The man who brought her coffee, helped renovate her dream duplex (even though he didn't have a handy bone in his body), and convinced her that maybe she didn't have to carry the weight of the world alone. When she discovers Jackson came to Cascadia with an agenda. One that put her firm, her career, and everything she had confided in him directly in the crosshairs. Phoenix was never supposed to be part of the plan. Until she was. Now she is suspended without pay, her most vulnerable client is in danger, and the man she trusted most is standing on the wrong side of the damage she is still trying to contain. The problem? Jackson knows exactly what he did. And he is not leaving until he finds a way to deserve her forgiveness. Hidden and Held is a slow-burn emotional romance about a burnout heroine who stopped believing in second chances, and the groveling hero who is determined to become the reason she starts again.

Clara thought she could handle being the other woman. She thought she could survive on stolen kisses and whispered promises. But she didn't expect to fall in love. And she never expected how dangerous love could be.

Hollywood Tales Book #1 For two years, the world watched us fall in love. Our romantasy series became a global obsession and suddenly everyone was interested in us. Interviews went viral. Edits got millions of views. Fans called our chemistry once in a generation and swore no one could fake the way he looked at me. I believed it too, the spark in his eyes, the passion in his touch, the care in his words. While we dated secretly for a year. Until a grainy image of his lip locked with an Ex went viral and I overheard him in a private meeting telling the producers he couldn't do this anymore. That he couldn't keep pretending to be interested in me. And suddenly I didn't know which moments belonged to the show and which ones never existed at all. But one thing was clear, I was just a part of his performance.

US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HB6871H2 UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HB6871H2 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 life and death. 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 also addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, and 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, when 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 Honey is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He misses ultrasound appointments, pregnancy milestones, and the baby shower. Worst of all, he is never there to support Honey through an increasingly difficult pregnancy. No matter how many times she tells 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 and she feels something is deeply wrong, her doctor dismisses her symptoms as first-time-mom jitters. 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 both her life and their daughter's. Mason must reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what his absence may cost him-the woman he loves more than anything. Now, the golden hour belongs to Honey. And Mason may already be too late.
