"Funny, hot and suspenseful, Christie Craig's writing has it all!" -- Nina Bangs

Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti.  At twelve, her father left his family in the dust.  At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot.  To put things lightly, men have been undependable. 

That's why dating's off the menu.  Macy is focused on putting herself through law school -- which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza.  But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend.  And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective.  Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up.  But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish.  And when he gets his man -- or his woman -- Macy knows it's for life.All Rights Reserved

Rendezvous in the Romanowskian Empire by KaiseyEliysian

"And... the fifth rule," he came forward, locking me between him and the slab again. "This should be the last time you talked to me like that," he lowered his face to my level, spiking my heart rate further.

Reader discretion advised. EXCERPT: As he leaned over with his arms folded, resting on the table, I took a second to admire the way his slightly messy hair fell in front of his face and the back of his black jeans hugged his ass. He glanced up at me, knowing I'd been staring at him, and I felt my face heat up. "I'm going to give you fifteen minutes to grab a bag with some spare clothing, your toothbrush, and whatever necessities. Then we're leaving," Joey ordered. He walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch, tapping his foot impatiently. "If I go with you-" "When you go with me," he corrected. "You will not take your phone or computer because they can be tracked. And now you have fourteen minutes."

Between by immoralLaurel

''You're shaking.'' His thumb brushes her wrist, finding a slow drumbeat pulse. ''I can't keep doing this.'' Her eyes flick to his, shimmering like suns on the edge of collapse. "Telling myself it's going to get better." "You deserve to be happy, Whitney," he says, his lips so close she can feel the words more than hear them. He's here, too close, too steady, and the heat of him melts a sliver of ice inside her. "Even if it's not with me." And there it is--raw and spoken. She closes her eyes against it. But when he brushes his knuckles against her cheek, and when he whispers her name like a promise, she... Wonders. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. She isn't his to protect.

And If I Fall, Let Me Part I: At Your Service - A. Hotchner x OC & Jemily by morgandufaigh

"Look who the cat dragged in," she directed at Hotch, smirking. To her surprise, Emily watched as her boss' lip twitched in what was suspiciously close to a smile. Now that was unusual. She had never seen that woman before. "Surprised they let you work somewhere you can't shoot your way out or blow something up," Hotch gave back dryly. Emily's eyebrows disappeared further under her bangs, and she exchanged a surprised look with Morgan. It was rare to see Hotch smirk, was he actually bordering on flirting? What happens when an old friend of Hotch turns out to be the new head of a Secret Service Unit in need of help with an investigation? Sparks fly, whiskey gets opened, and killers (hopefully) get caught. (Originally posted on AO3 under my username "sometimesiscribble!)

But all that changed when she caught her boyfriend of six years cheating-with her sister. Desperate to forget, she walked into the wrong club-and into Ryder Marconi's arms.
