Guarding Her Heart
He was hired to protect her body. He never expected to fall for her heart.
sunday Blake doesn't need a bodyguard. At least, that's what she tells herself. As a rising-star attorney with a sharp tongue and a tightly guarded past, she's used to fighting her own battles. But when a high-profile case makes her a target, she's forced to accept help from the last kind of man she wants around-quiet, intense, and far too observant.
Elias Rylan doesn't do distractions-and Sunday Blake is nothing but. As a former marine turned private security expert, he's trained to keep people safe, not fall for the stubborn, guarded woman who insists she can take care of herself. But when the threats against Sunday turn deadly, elias moves in-closer than either of them planned.
What starts as a job becomes something neither of them can ignore. The more time they spend together, the more elias sees past sunday s armor-and the more sunday fears what will happen if she lets him in. She's not just fighting for her life... she's fighting the one thing she swore she'd never risk again.

A TOAST TO HELL
They were rivals trained to kill. Now, they have to trust each other to survive. Amora Saint is a blade in motion-reckless, fiery, and relentless. Every mission she takes is a defiance, a challenge to the man whose shadow she's been forced to live in. Elias Kane is precision in human form-cold, calculated, and infuriatingly perfect. He doesn't make mistakes, doesn't waste words, and doesn't forget who beat him to the kill... or who didn't. Both elite assassins trained under the same brutal organization, their careers have been a never-ending contest of skill, blood, and pride. For years, they've been pitted against each other, their rivalry sharpened by proximity and unresolved tension. But when their handler assigns them a target too dangerous for either of them alone-a high-value ghost tied to global arms trade and deeper Syndicate secrets-they're forced into an alliance neither of them asked for. As their mission spirals through betrayal, corruption, and bodies that won't stay buried, Amora and Elias must navigate deadly territory and each other. Enemies make for efficient killers. Lovers make for fatal distractions. In a world where trust can get you killed and feelings are just another weakness to exploit, one thing is certain: If they don't kill the target-or each other-first... They'll both burn. Raise a glass. Lock your sights. This is A Toast to Hell.

All of her
Emilia Hartley has always been too much. Too opinionated. Too ambitious. Too loud. Too emotional. Too everything-according to every man who's ever tried to love her. So now she doesn't let anyone try. She's built a life of control: sharp suits, sharper words, and a career that leaves no room for mistakes. Or feelings. James Dunne is everything she shouldn't want. Calm. Controlled. Maddeningly unreadable. A financial advisor with a voice like velvet and a habit of watching her too closely in meetings. He's not the kind of man who gets involved. Not with women like her. Not with anyone. When a high-profile client forces them to collaborate, tension sparks fast-and it doesn't burn out. Not after late nights in glass offices. Not after near-kisses in rain-drenched cabs. Not after one devastating night where she lets him in, only to run the next morning. But James doesn't flinch. He never told her to be quieter. Or smaller. And for the first time in her life, Emilia is terrified... of someone staying. All of Her is a slow-burn, emotionally charged love story about ambition, vulnerability, and the rare kind of intimacy that doesn't ask you to change-just to be seen.
