Locked( Book 1)
When the Kidnapper Isn't the Monster Addison Williams never planned to survive a kidnapping with her sisters and walk away believing the man who took them might be the only one who can keep them alive. Derek Sanchez has rules: get the girls, make the drop, don't ask why. But the job rots the second he sees what he's really delivering them into. One choice shatters the chain of command-and turns captor into reluctant protector. On the run from the people who ordered the snatch, Addison and Derek vanish into back roads and borrowed nights. Hiding becomes a brutal routine: new names, cash-only motels, a wolf's eyes glinting from the treeline, and the kind of danger that teaches you who someone is when there's nowhere left to hide. The deeper they dig, the clearer it gets-Derek isn't the architect of the crime. He's the loose end a much higher power needs cut. Addison should hate him. Instead, she starts to see the man behind the mask-the one who bandages wounds, takes the hits, and would torch his life to get her sisters home. But saving them means exposing a syndicate with reach in every direction... and choosing whether to trust the criminal who stole her-now the only person she can't bear to lose. Captured. Falling. Running. Fighting back. This is the year everything changed-for Addison, for her sisters, and for the man who was never supposed to care.Complete

Finding Love
Alora and Becca Hendrix - Twin daughters of Jayson Hendrix and the heir to everything their family has built. Yet somehow, they manage to fall for two people who just might have more secrets than they do... Lynn and AJ are opposites. Sunshine personified and the grumpy asshole. Starting a new school isn't anything new to them - they move around a lot after all... What is new? The two girls who steal their attention and won't give it back. *** Being forced to work with the new kids was the last thing the girls wanted. Lynn and AJ weren't too eager to split up and work with random girls from their new class, either. Little did any of them know that a little school project would be the start to so much more... *** "Becca, I will break your heart.." I whisper to her, silently begging her to believe me, but a part of me is begging her not to. "I won't let you AJ," She whispers in response, and suddenly, her lips are on mine again. *** "I want the words, Alora," She whispers against my mouth. "I like you, Lynn.." I whisper back to her, struggling to keep my eyes off her lips. She tenses up, taking a sharp intake of breath, surprised despite the fact she knew what I was going to say. Then, one of her hands moves and grabs my jaw. One second, I'm waiting for her to say something. The next her lips are on mine. (Hendrix #7) ☆Written:04/2024☆ ☆Not edited☆Complete
