𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭. Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who could barely read. When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. Her faith built me in ways my father's cruelty never could. Now I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every hit, every fight, every autograph, every deal-I told myself I was doing it all for her. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing what it was costing our marriage. I let my agent handle the business so I could focus on the game. I ignored the threats and harassment. The fans who hated her simply for being mine. When Emerald tried to show me how cruel it had gotten, I told her it didn't matter. That I would always keep her safe. I was wrong. The losses piled up. The fans turned vicious. My temper snapped, and with one ugly moment, I pushed away the only person who has ever truly loved me. Then, while I was smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan wearing my jersey. Now I see everything too late. I want blood from every single person who touched her. And the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes that none of this was random. My agent, Rick Fox, has been pulling the strings for far too long. I'll do whatever it takes to bring down the people who came for my wife, earn back the woman I love, and prove that this time, I won't fail her again. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, my everything.

Joy thought having their daughter would bring them closer. Instead, motherhood made her invisible. Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone. Rowdy says he's trying-looking for work, trying to be present-but when his best friend Becca offers him a job, it feels like another door closing. Because Becca has always wanted him. And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon. Otherwise, you can read the full, and polished book when it releases on KU Spring of 2026).⭐

He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas Priest Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo Blue Thorne isn't looking for danger. After a brutal night in the ER, she finds solace in a bar-and in a man who promises nothing beyond one night. She agrees to his rules because she doesn't want forever. Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying. Now Priest must face the consequences of the rules he hid behind, the words he never said, and the woman he never claimed. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, he'll have to decide whether love is a weakness- -or the one thing worth bleeding for. PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.

She trusted her with everything. That was her first mistake. Mara Bennett thought she knew heartbreak until the day she discovered her husband wasn't just unfaithful. He was sleeping with the one person she trusted more than anyone: her best friend since childhood, Celeste. For three years, Celeste held Mara while she cried about her crumbling marriage. She listened to every fear, every suspicion, every moment of doubt and then walked straight into the arms of Mara's husband, bringing those secrets with her like twisted pillow talk. But this isn't just a story about betrayal. It's about a woman who refused to break. As Mara unravels the lies and discovers just how deep the deception runs, she must decide: Does she let this destroy her or does she rebuild herself into someone they'll never see coming? Because when trust shatters, revenge doesn't always look like fire and fury. Sometimes, it looks like a woman who finally learns her own worth. A gripping, emotional psychological drama about friendship, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away from everything you thought you knew.

Only this time, Rune walks away carrying something he never planned for .And a truth she's kept hidden for years. Now, as she prepares to rebuild the life she left behind, Dorian is forced to confront what he thought he controlled. Because Rune was never meant to matter.

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.

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.

🔥 LIVE on Amazon KU! He pined for the wrong woman. And it cost him the right one. When Aarohi left the country, Advik's heart cracked-but it was Greesha's absence that fully shattered it. She'd moved cities for him, built a life with him, handed him her whole damn heart... but then he whispered Aarohi's name when he thought Greesha wasn't listening. Years later, fate throws them back together. But the Greesha Advik once knew-the one who waited, hoped, and forgave-is long gone. This Greesha is guarded. Grounded. Unshakably distant. And he's no longer sure if there's even a version of her who'll let him in again. Because some women burn bright with grace. And some women learn never to waste it again. She wasted hers on him.
