“Hold up!! Did you say FOUR heartbeats?!?”

My babies’ father is a war hero.
Beautifully broken mountain man.
Childhood friend. And my brother’s best friend.
Basically the one I’ve wanted since adolescence.
I can’t even process the fact I’m having his babies.
Four babies!!!!

Ground Rules of our Arrangement:
#1. Absolutely NO emotions.
#2. ZERO attachment whatsoever.
#3. If you have questions, repeat rules 1 and 2.

It’s safe to say I’ve TOTALLY screwed this up!

Internship? No problem.
Show up on time.
Get the coffee orders right.
Whatever you do, don’t get mixed up with your way-off-limits boss.
Especially not on the conference room table at work.

Looks like I broke a big rule there.
Eli had alpha male written all over him.
Sexy and strong and set in his ways.

All I had to do was be a good little intern for the MLB expansion team
Finish my classes, and that master’s degree would be mine.
I could put my illness behind me and chase my dreams.
No secret crush on my boss, no distractions.
Absolutely no fantasies about him.

Nope never happened.
Those dizzy spells? Probably nothing.
Not my illness coming back.
And definitely not a secret bundle of joy…

That would make everything even more complicated.

My new neighbor is looking for a nanny. Cool. But what starts with accidental encounters in the bathroom, ends with passionate nights in his bedroom – and now we’re in a fake-marriage!

Brad is a fearless firefighter risking his life for others.
But he’s messed up when it’s about saving himself.
After his wife has left him heartbroken with a small child, he’s looking for a nanny.
I take the job because I need to pay my bills as my own demons are haunting me.
Everything seems to be going well until his ex comes back seeking sole custody for their son.
Brad’s lawyer advises him to show the judge a new wife so he can keep the baby.
Now we have to play pretend for 8 weeks until the trial is over.
But what starts as fake, soon becomes very intense and real.
All of a sudden, I ask myself two critical questions:

What if Brad’s ex finds out everything is set up? And when should I tell Brad that the result of my pregnancy test is anything but fake?

They skate. They win. They’re hot AF.
Don’t miss this collection of hockey romances.

Cold As Puck
I was all in. Down on one-knee. Love you forever. ALL in. But I destroyed it. Because that’s what I do.
The worst part… I’d never see her look at me the same way. In awe of the hockey god. The stud who made her breathless in bed. The winner.
I was a champion. I lost Game Seven and the team put me on a tight leash. Now I’m back in my home town during the off-season. Forced to do penance or I’m no longer the Dires’ goalie.
But Sophie’s still there and she’s not buying my acts of atonement. Why would she? I broke her heart. She has no reason to forgive me, but I can’t skate this time.
I remember how it felt when we got under each other’s skin. So does she.
Hot. Wicked. Hypnotic. Maybe if I tell her the truth, we can start over. Or, maybe I’ll lose her all over again.

Cold As Hell
Winning is supposed to feel good. That’s right, I’m coming down off the biggest high of my life. The Dire Wolves star sniper just scored the game-winning goal.

That’s me. The Champion. Stud. Hockey god.

Only I’ve become the hockey world’s villain. There’s a target on my back and my life feels like it’s spiraling. I don’t know how to get things under control. The team’s solution to the constant threats I receive?
Send in Hope Winters, NHL cyber security expert. They didn’t tell me she was beautiful, quirky, smart and sexy as f*ck. She says she doesn’t fall for hockey players. But it’s my job to find holes in the defense.
Right now, she’s the only distraction I want to focus on. I’ve always known there’s a cost to keeping score. Pushing the boundaries with Hope could change the game forever.

Cold As Ice
I’m broken. Hell, maybe it’s how I was made. It’s not only my leg that is shattered, but my heart has never been whole.
One rough play threatens to sideline my career with a splintered bone and months of physical therapy. But I fight back and find my place on a new team—the Dire Wolves.
Then I meet Noelle. Gorgeous. Funny. Smart. And a single mom. She’s been burned before and the risks are higher than ever. She has a little girl who loves hockey like it’s in her DNA. Did I mention we met at Ice Puppies hockey camp?
Noelle makes it clear she doesn’t date hockey players. No matter how good I am with my stick. There’s something she can’t deny. Our chemistry sizzles. I’m powerless to stop falling for her. If I can prove I’m not like the man who left her,
There’s a chance I can have what I’ve always wanted—family.
But Noelle is stubborn and protective of her nest. It’s going to take more than a few hot nights and smooth skating to convince her I’m the man who could give her forever.

He should be taking my temperature, not stealing my heart…

Melissa is a small town girl who doesn’t think she needs a man. But when she bumps into a gorgeous man who desperately needs her help, she just has to play along.

Dr. Carl, the stunning pulmonologist with those to-die-for eyes, needs a stand-in girlfriend to drive away his annoying co-worker. He happens to bring it up to his patient Melissa who makes him forget about his boundaries.

Doctor-patient relationships are strictly forbidden. He knows it’s wrong but it feels so right.

He shouldn’t be risking his career, but he is for someone as sweet as her. She shouldn’t be risking her heart, but she can’t stop herself.

When their widowed parents announce that they are getting engaged to each other, disaster follows.

The hot doctor she wasn’t supposed to date is going to be a new family member she wasn’t supposed to have.

But another issue adds to the chaos: a baby she wasn’t supposed to make.

What are they going to do?

I’m a bad man. I never said I was anything else.

I shouldn’t want the beautiful brunette who lives in that suburban cul-de-sac, but one glance and I can’t think of anything else but taking her. The innocence in her dark eyes tells me she has no idea what life in my world is like.

But she’s going to find out.

I control everything around me, and that includes Kaia now. At first, she’ll beg for her freedom, but it won’t take long before she’s begging for something else.

Her world has changed. She’s mine now.

It was easy for me to make the mistake of sleeping with my boss.
And much, much harder to actually deal with it.

Quentin Freeman. He’s a millionaire.
Owner of a racing company.
Every woman’s wildest dream.
Unfortunately, including mine. His employee.
That wild dream turned into reality when we hooked up in my office.
Then again, outside, behind the office building.
Now that was only the fun part.
The only way I thought I could escape him was to freeze him out.
But how do I escape from the father of my child?
A child that he knows nothing about.
I know I have to tell him about my secret baby.

And that… is going to be the not-so-fun part.

Book 1 in the Freeman Brothers series brings you Quentin and Merry’s story. Millionaire Boss is a standalone, full-length romance with burning passion, secrets, and drama. And don’t forget the HEA that makes it all worthwhile…

$10 million for being a fake-princess for one year.
Done deal – I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
As it turns out, quite a lot.

After an ONS with an incredibly hot guy,
I wake up in his hotel room the next morning.
When he tells me that he’s an heir to the throne, I’m stunned.
Even more so when he asks me to be his fake princess.

Because if Liam wants to inherit the throne, he has to be married by the age of 40.
And he’s running out of time, because his birthday will be in a few months.
So he offers me the incredible sum of $10 million to become his wife and
fake being princess until his succession to the throne becomes final.

Aside from the money Liam is charming, gorgeous and above all – great in the sack.
What girl hasn’t always dreamed of being a princess?
So I say yes and leave my fashion job in New York behind.

But life in a royal family is by no means a fairy tale.
Nobody can find out that there is a contract between us, but people are suspicious,
starting with my beastly mother-in-law.
Between the paparazzi stalking us and other family intrigues – slowly but surely my life becomes a nightmare.

And as if that’s not enough, I’m getting morning sickness.
A pregnancy test later I know that a little prince or princess is growing inside me…
I guess now is not the best time to ask Liam to terminate the contract?

One minute, I’m about to lose my job.
Then the next minute, I’m falling for my boss.

In my defense, I didn’t know that Jace was the new owner of the company that I worked for.
He was just a hot billionaire that I met in a coffee shop.
One that I wanted to explore a relationship with.
I wanted to flaunt him.
To make other women jealous.
But of course, life works in mysterious ways.
The flaunting went down the drain when he became my top secret at the office.
Handing him my V-card was the beginning of an end.
It led to something that I wasn’t ready for.
Pregnancy.
Sleeping with the boss was scandalous enough.
But expecting his baby?
That was a whole new level of crazy I’d never experienced before.

I never expected to see Wyatt back in town again.
Never… ever.
I also never expected to end up being married to him.

To clarify, our marriage is as fake as plastic.
He was my brother’s best friend.
And he didn’t hesitate to break my heart ten years ago.
Disappeared into thin air and joined the military.
I couldn’t even call him to say that I was pregnant.
I’d been quietly living my live with my daughter before he showed up.
Announced.
Looking more handsome than ever before.
With more scars than I can count.
He’s all fired up to save our town, Salvation.
I have the same mission as him.
And it only made sense to do whatever it takes.
Turns out, a fake marriage would fix things.
But if things go south…
If he finds out the truth about our daughter…
Then trying to fix everything else may eventually break me.
