POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Rain or Sine by Eva Simmons

A biker strikes a deal with a cowgirl runaway bride in this opposites attract, western motorcycle club romance. Sons of Anarchy meets Yellowstone with high-stakes danger, small town grit, a delicious slow burn, and scandalous spice.

The moment I climb on the back of Shane Donovan’s motorcycle in my wedding dress, I know I’m in trouble. His club is at war with the local ranchers in my small Texas town, and worse, he’s at war with my ex. One bad decision puts a target on my family’s back, and now Shane is the only one who can help.

So we strike a deal. I’ll pretend to be his girlfriend to improve his reputation around town and he’ll protect me from my ex-fiancé.

Strictly business. No feelings. No attachments.

Until stolen kisses turn into late-night confessions, and our fake relationship starts to feel very real. In Shane’s dark eyes is the acceptance I’ve always wanted. And beneath his inked hands is the freedom I’ve been searching for.

But when someone attacks my family’s ranch and sets my home on fire, our arrangement sends both our lives up in flames—literally. Shane isn’t the only one with secrets hiding in his past. I’ve paid in blood for my mistakes. This time, if I’m not careful, I’ll pay with my heart.

Content/TWs (which contain spoilers) can be found on author’s website. 18+ standalone with HEA guaranteed.

My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning in the Flames of his Vengeance @author.muse

My Roman Empire 😭😭

https://mybook.to/magicofkaeladia

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

They say there is a fine line between love and hate, but where does one end and the other begin? When does something so pure become something so toxic that even you yourself cannot fathom when things changed?

This story starts on the day that my parents were killed. That was the day that I felt like my entire life had ended. If only I knew then that it was only the beginning of the storm I would be made to endure.

Struggling to grasp onto the threads of my unravelling life, I found comfort in the arms of someone I didn’t truly know. His dangerously handsome looks and his lethal allure consumed me, and, despite my every instinct, I fell.

He became my world, the very air I needed to breathe, the only one that I thought I could rely on... but then, in the blink of an eye, everything changed.

When the truth of my very existence and reality was revealed, he cast me aside and lit my world ablaze, leaving me to burn in the flames of his hatred.

Even then, we were still intertwined together by one fate.

My name is Yileyna De'Lacor, and this is my story.

Desmond
I was sixteen years old when I met Oakley Manning during a family beach vacation. He was funny, gorgeous, as obsessed with football as I was, and hurting after his mom abandoned him.
For two weeks, we were inseparable. Oakley made me feel complete, settling something inside me.
Then one night, I kissed him…and he kissed me back.
When he walked away afterward, I pretended it hurt less than it did. It’s a lesson that’s stuck with me—the people I want never choose me back.
Oakley
Everything about what I shared with Desmond Jackson was perfect.
Then, on the last morning of our trip, my ex-girlfriend-slash-best friend dropped a bomb: “I’m pregnant.” For the sake of the baby, we decided to make it work.
Eleven years later, Serena and I are still best friends, but our relationship is over, though we haven’t told anyone. Between her mom’s recent diagnosis and our daughter, we aren’t ready for more complications.
Enter Des, recently traded to L.A.’s second pro football team—my team being the first. Now he’s always in my periphery, infuriating and needling me…and still capable of making my pulse race. Our chemistry is as combustive as ever. Des worships my body in ways I’ve never experienced, but he doesn’t believe in forever, and I can’t do casual.
We compete at everything, but he doesn’t know he’s already won my heart. I just hope it’s a prize he wants…and that my world won’t implode if I have him.

Trust by Kathy Lockheart is coming to audible in 1 week!!!!

https://a.co/d/0ih8rVew

AN AMAZON TOP 35 BESTSELLER

He’s a convicted killer. I’m his nurse. And he saw my bruises. Now he keeps getting hurt on purpose, just to see that I’m safe.

As a prison nurse, I keep my heart locked away tighter than the men I treat. No gray areas. No second chances. Especially not after escaping my abusive ex.

Then Knox Blackwood, the most dangerous man in the prison, winds up in my infirmary. Whatever he did to get locked up remains the prison’s darkest secret.

He should terrify me. Instead, he sees what no one else does. The scars. The flinch when a door slams. The fear I can’t bury.

“Who hurt you?” he growls. When I don’t answer, Knox starts showing up in my infirmary. New wounds. Suspicious injuries. Getting hurt on purpose, just for five minutes with me.

I tell myself I can’t fall for an inmate. I won’t. Especially not one who’s now harboring a violent vendetta against my ex. But every stolen touch feels like salvation. And every whispered promise paves the road to our future.

Knox is one parole hearing from freedom. If we stay careful, maybe he’ll get out. Reunite with his daughter. And we’ll have a life beyond these walls. All I have to do is keep Knox from killing the man who hurt me.

That’s the plan. Until my violent ex steps into the prison as Knox’s new guard…

From an International & Amazon top 25 bestselling author, TRUST is a forbidden romance featuring an obsessive, morally gray prisoner willing to risk his only shot at freedom to protect her.

Perfect for listeners who love hearing a romance with:

Forbidden nurse/inmate romance

Obsessive, possessive morally gray hero

“Touch Her and Die” energy

“Who Hurt You?” protector vibes

Forced proximity in a prison setting

Alpha male with everything to lose

Standalone. Binge-worthy HEA.

Release Day 🎉🎉

Give Me Tonight by Jennifer Sucevic is now available

Waking up married in Vegas? Not exactly part of the plan.
Especially when the groom is Jax Wilder—Chicago Railers hockey star, shameless flirt, and the most infuriating man I’ve ever met.
I want an annulment.
He wants to stay married.
But with custody of my younger siblings on the line, a stable home—and a husband—might be exactly what I need to keep us together.
Jax offers me a deal: stay married, move into his penthouse, and let him help until everything is settled.
It’s only temporary.
Except Jax doesn’t just make room for me. He makes room for all of us.
And somewhere between family dinners, late nights, and sharing a bed with the husband I never wanted, our marriage starts feeling dangerously real.
Falling for my husband was never part of the plan. Neither was wanting to keep him.
Give Me Tonight is an enemies-to-lovers, Vegas wedding, pro hockey romance featuring a golden retriever hero who falls first—and a black cat heroine who’s spent her whole life standing on her own. He’s determined to prove he’s in it for the long haul… even if she’s terrified to believe him.

Wayward Sons, MC duet by Eve Marcoux

Grab it here https://a.co/d/06tjkArO

I had a good life once upon a time. Until it was not.
Running away was my only freedom from that hell. To keep moving. To keep looking over my shoulder.
If I didn’t, my ghosts would find me and drag me back into that nightmare. One I know would destroy me if I stayed there any longer.
Seamark, Washington, was supposed to be another temporary hideout, another place to lie low, earn some money, and move on. Just like any other small town, I only planned to stay for a few months.
That is, until I found him.
A dangerous, beautiful biker belonging to a local motorcycle club.
A distraction, who pulled me into his life of violence—a life I had been trying to avoid.
Yet, lost in the whirlwind of his chaos, why did it finally feel like I had found home?
