Getting fired and humiliated in front of everyone at my newly acquired secretarial job at Morgan Financial Holdings wasn’t how I’d seen my day going. And then chaos—or maybe luck—ensured. I was set up on a blind date, shocked that my former boss was giving me a month’s severance, and had the perfect interview lined up. Maybe things were looking up for me after all. And although finding a man should have been on the bottom of my to-to list, I couldn’t get Jason—the uber sexy blind date—out of my head. Sexy and confident—or maybe arrogant—he had me yearning for more with just a smoldering look and a smirk of his lips. But when a night of drinking leads to getting in bed with him and having the wildest, most intense night of my life, I didn’t know if I should ask to see him again, or do the good old walk of shame. And it’s when I walk into my interview the next day and come face-to-face with my prospective employer that the reality of my situation sinks in. Because there, sitting across from me with that devilish smile on his face, that knowing expression of what we’d done the night before, is the one and only Jason, my supposedly one-night stand. Looked like my humiliation wasn’t over just yet.

Ex-fighter pilot, Logan Reid, is exactly the kind of man I despise. He’s a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best. I’m an ex-Zoomie, an Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. We’re bitter rivals and I’m low-man (woman) on the totem pole. The last thing I need is to spend six hours at thirty-five thousand feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. I’m his co-pilot, and we’re taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises, and his family, on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans. We have three days on the ground before we fly back. Three long days in paradise and he wants to spend them all with me. I have a thing for fighter pilots. It isn’t animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule. I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion. But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink which follows, I’m thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting? Besides, it’s not as if my job is at risk. I’m not prepared for the air to sizzle when he’s close. I’m not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin. I’m not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end. And I never expected to fall in love. But all good things come to an end. I wasn’t prepared when I walked away. And I wasn’t ready for what came next. He’s arrogant. He’s cocky. He’s determined to get what he wants. And he’s refuses to let this end. He’s fighting for a forever…with me. But, I’m not ready for our beginning. He’s arrogant enough to prove me wrong. She was the daughter of my worst enemy. I was the hitman hired to take her out. When the contract hit my phone, I thought it was fate. The broken, frightened girl who got away. The one who lied about who she was and disappeared without a trace. Now I had a second chance. There was no doubt I’d do everything to keep her safe, both from my family and the man who wanted her life. As secrets were revealed, lives were put at risk. But life had taught me there was no running from death. It might have been fate that brought us together, but it was her past that would tear us apart. I loved him before I knew what the word meant. From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between. But he was never mine to love. I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more. That was before. Before he ripped my world apart and didn’t bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces. I knit every last shred back together all on my own. And I’ve all but forgotten his name. Now, he’s back, and everything is torn apart once more.But he’s not the only one doing the tearing this time. And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both. She’s the girl he wants but can’t keep. He’d shown me that I did hold some light in my life. I wasn’t all misery and darkness, there was sunshine in there too. Life for survivor Sarah Danes has finally started to brighten. After opening up and trusting the bad boy bully of Maddison High, love is beginning to touch parts of her life she’d thought long dead. Until the blackest part of her life returns and betrayal burns her again. I couldn’t help but fear that one day she’d realise that I was no good for her. Adam has yearned for his dad all his life but having him back means he might have to give up the person who helped bring the light into his darkened existence. Life has been cruel, and it seems fate isn’t done with him yet. Girl meets boy Girl loves boy. Boy loves girl And we all know that love never lasts… Love Struck a story of betrayal, pain and heartbreak. A story where love and hate are one of the same This book is based in a British high school and may contain triggers with mentions of suicide, rape and violence. There are also some scenes of bullying. Boston’s debauched elite is going up in flames, and it’s the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire. Hunter I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company. Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying… Sailor I didn’t want this gig, okay? But the deal was too sweet to walk away from. I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny. Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things? It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors. No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm. Even at the cost of losing everything I have. Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom. Jackson… Revenge is supposed to be sweet, swift, but it’s never that simple. I’ve spent years craving it, and now that I’m finally in a position to make it happen, nothing can stop me. Enter one stripper that doesn’t fit in and everything changes. I still need revenge and to ease the ache of failure, but she makes me want something else, something I never thought possible. Now, I want a life. Katelyn… I never dreamed I’d be taking my clothes off for money, but here I am, working at The White Lily, trying to satisfy my deal with the devil. For months, I’ve done what I had to in order to protect the people I love, but when I’m given to my boss’s head of security as a reward, I wish I were more selfish. I need to finish what I started, but I also can’t turn my back on the beautifully broken man who is not at all who I thought he was. Revenge is his past and present, but can I be his future? Stark Revenge contains subject matter that some may find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised. Growing up a military brat and spending eight years overseas with the Army Medical Corps, clinical social worker, Willa Smith, has had enough of rules and regulations. Still able to work with veterans as she did at the VA Hospital, she is much happier at the new and far more relaxed South Avenue Shelter, until one of its residents is implicated in a murder. Former military turned security operative, Dimas Mazur, has worked for PASS security, his brother’s company, since he returned stateside after a disabling injury. The job keeps him busy, but when a homeless veteran he knows runs into trouble with the law, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in. The strong-headed counselor at the shelter where his friend stayed is an unexpected bonus. Until she puts herself square in the sights of the man he’s trying to take down. My family’s scandal is my fall from grace. The night of my seventeenth birthday leads to the final event that catapults my future in a different direction. One call for help turns into my only chance of survival. Now, the only way to stay safe is to keep hidden. Hidden in a small town in the middle of “No-where”, Minnesota, away from my friends, my prestigious school, and my family, I have to mesh with the other hidden children in order to survive. Though, it’s not just the Bogeyman that keeps me up at night… Ciaran Jakobe, with his frosty blue eyes and instant dislike for me sets my nerves on end. There is no escaping his sharp words and constant torment. Every push from him sparks a fire of fight inside me. Every smirk from his full, pink lips makes me want to punch him in the face. He’s my nemesis and my dark hero. I may be paying for my parent’s mistakes but I won’t let a Midwest Boy get the best of me. |
