Aurora Summers is nothing but baggage. Beautiful, dangerous, off limits baggage. The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave. Only … she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be. She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother. But pawns don’t fight back the way she does. They don’t violate my sanity the way she does. She put herself in the mouth of the beast. I wanted her out of the way, but now … I can’t let her go.

“Harlow Hampton meets the Iris Boys.” All I needed was a break. A sign. Something. Nearly getting run over was not the sign I was looking for, but it’s what I got. That and a group of guys who say they work for something called Iris. No, thank you. I had enough to deal with, thank you very much. No brother. No dad. No sanity most of the time. I certainly didn’t need to be dealing with thieves and wild cats and guys that were way too good looking. That is…I didn’t need them until they were all I had left. Now I have to make a decision about my future and whether or not they’re going to be in it. ***This is a Reverse Harem title***

My name is Jamie Houston and if there’s one thing I can’t catch, it’s a fucking break. Of all the people in the world to get snowed in at the library the night before a big exam, it had to be me. I must have pissed off karma or something because there is no way being trapped. Alone. In the Dark. With not one, not two, but FOUR sexy athletes can be a good thing. Especially not when they make the most outrageous bet. Who can please me the best? Puh-leaze. I’m not an easy girl. I’ve got plans for myself. Graduate and become the best journalist I can be. I don’t have time for one boyfriend, much less a whole harem of them. No, thank you. But one night? I can probably swing that. So long as no one gets attached. I’ve got 99 problems, but heart break isn’t going to be one … or is it? This collection contains all three books in the Break series as well as an additional after story not sold elsewhere. Contains: *Study Break* *Tough Break* *Spring Break* *Lucky Break: A Break Series After Story* *This is a reverse harem story and may contain sexual situations*

On the surface, they’re perfect princes and he is their King. But underneath it all, they’re filled with blood, lies, and secrets. With all of their connections, they have the power to crush anyone who gets in their way. But just because they’re as warped as I am doesn’t mean I’m going to give them a free pass. Because I, Avalon Manning, bow to no one, and I live to break the fucking rules. ***This is a Dark MF New Adult Enemies to Lovers Romance.***

On Tartarus I was born… Soaked in power and secrets—Tartarus is a city for rebels, exiles, and criminals. As a messenger, every shadow is my friend. I know all the secrets of this place. Or, at least, I thought I did. When my best friend, Kida, goes missing, I don’t waste any time assuming her identity to draw her or whoever took her, out of hiding. On Tartarus I will die… As I search for Kida’s whereabouts, Tartarus’ most dangerous gang—The Tanks—are slowly rising out of the chromework, growing more and more powerful. Every instinct in my body is screaming for me to run, to save myself, but I can’t—not without Kida. If I have to set the city ablaze just to get her attention, I will. And if the fire doesn’t kill me, the secrets I uncover just might. ***THIS COPY CONTAINS BOOK 1 AND 1.5 OF THE SKY CITIES SERIES*** ***THIS IS A REVERSE HAREM TITLE***

Rule No. 2: Show no fear. They’re vile and twisted. The only thing more fucked up than the Sick Boys is me, and I’m ready to show them. The Sick Boys are hiding something from me. They want to pretend like I didn’t kill my rapist and they didn’t help. But we’re not ordinary college students, that much has become clear to me, and I’m growing tired of all of the lies and secrets. Their masks are cracking and finally, I’m starting to see the grotesque reality underneath. It’s far darker than I ever expected, and it’s not enough. They know everything about me, so now it’s my turn. I fear nothing. Not them. Not the man that I killed or the people who set me up. Fear is for the weak and I, Avalon Manning, am anything but.

He was given a choice: my sister or me. He chose me. Gaven Belmonte is one of the most dangerous hitmen in the world, and I’m the daughter of one of the richest mafia families in the country. In exchange for my hand in marriage, Gaven Belmonte is about to become the next head of the Price family. I’ve always tried to shun my family’s past and their filthy ties to the underworld of organized crime. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I’ve never even had sex. I just want to be free, to be normal. Gaven could do more than just ruin that dream—he could completely annihilate me. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been planning to escape my family’s criminal past ever since the murder of my mother. What my father wants, he gets, and it appears the same is true for my new fiancé. He wants me, and he’s about to get me. To have and to hold. Til’ death do we part. We’re a match made in hell, but the contract says that he owns me, body and soul, and he intends to make sure I know it.

It never mattered how far I ran … he was always going to catch me. Because I belong to him—body, mind, and soul. My innocence is gone. My father is dead. And I’m no longer the girl who was forced to marry a hitman. I’m stronger. For the last five years I’ve been running from both my sister’s vengeful anger, and from my husband’s intense obsession. When Gaven finally captures me—I have no other choice but to use him the same way he always planned to use me. The closer I am, the more information I have, the safer we both are. So, I’ll take his punishment for leaving. I’ll take his pain and his pleasure. My wedding night might have ended in pain and betrayal, but I won’t let my life end the same. He’s a killer and I’m a target. In the end, someone has to die, but who is it going to be this time? *This is a Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Age-Gap BDSM Romance*

What kind of person falls into a relationship with several men? Now I know the answer. Me. I’ve finally realized that and I’ve come to terms with it. But it seems that fate has one last challenge for us to overcome. Theodora “Teddi” Vandersen, otherwise known as Grayson’s mother, has apparently been following me for weeks now. She thinks it’s my fault that Grayson’s done with her. Whether it is or not, all I know is that the wealthy socialite will stop at nothing to tear Grayson away from me and the guys. He just found his home with us. I’m not going to let her destroy that. If it means I have to go against her, myself, and risk everything, then… So be it.

"My stepmother shattered me. My ex ruined me. One look at Tax and I knew he would kill me." Love Love. It's a name given to people that you care about. And it was a name given to a little girl that no one cared about. The irony is not lost on me. I've always been a bit separate. First in my family and then in my relationships. Maybe you have to understand the emotion to feel it. I've never understood how people will lie, cheat, steal, and murder for it. Why some people hand it over like pennies in their pockets. Or others hoard it like it's their only valuable possession. I don't do either. I'm convinced I don't have any love to give. Someone is going to have to breathe life into my damaged soul before I can ever even consider loving them. Tax I'm a shit storm just waiting to happen. Actually, scratch that, I usually don't wait for anything or anybody. The only things I give a fuck about are my boys--my band--and my little sister, Ally. I've gone from underground kid fighter I was to whatever the hell I am now--guardian, bandmate, neighbor to a fucking woman that messes with my head. I want to know her secrets, her pains, and everything dark inside of her and whether or not her darkness matches my own.

The Iris Boys crash landed into my life and changed everything in it. Now, I’m surrounded by four incredible men - five, if the last one will ever fully open up to me. Never in a million years did I think I’d fall in love. Much less with more than one man. But that’s what I did. I’m in love with the Iris Boys. They are my confidantes. My friends. My closest allies. If I thought things were going to get easier, I was sorely mistaken. I have to find Erika and keep her from making, quite possibly, the biggest mistake of her life. But ties of friendship mean nothing when you don’t want to be saved. Even if the bond between friends is broken, the bond between lovers is stronger… right? ***This is a Reverse Harem Title***

Three pasts. Three criminals. One night to steal it all. I’m known as the Scarlet Thief. Truly fitting since Scarlett is my name. No one has seen me or ever even gotten close. It’s not bragging, I’m just that good. If I see something and I want it, the fact is, come hell or high thievery, it will be mine. There’s just one rule: I work alone. A team comes with complications—dangerous complications that can get a girl killed or, even worse, caught. When a mysterious billionaire known as Mr. Black not only gets close enough to catch me but leaves me an intriguing message offering me the chance of a lifetime, what’s a world-renowned criminal to do? Track the man down and kill him, of course. Only, instead of Mr. Black, I find two other criminals —a hacker and a mercenary—who are gunning for the mysterious man in the shadows who seems to know everything about us. The only way to keep our secrets from ever seeing the light of day is to pull off the biggest heist the world’s ever seen. If we fail, we lose everything, but if we succeed … we could go down in history. NOTE: We hope to release this title in early October 2020. Therefore, the release date is subject to change.

I had a chance, once, to play the good girl. I could’ve kept my mouth shut and stayed out of the line of fire. Had I done that, more people might’ve been hurt. So, I came forward and subsequently, I lost everything I’d ever loved. I lost my family. I lost my home. I lost my identity. I lost … them. But now they’re back. At least, I think they are. I can feel their eyes watching my every movement, stalking me. They aren’t here to threaten me or to hurt me. They’re here to protect me. To watch over me. Because to them, I’m everything they desire. I am their love. I am their hate. I am their infatuation. Their sweet possession. How long can they stand to stay in the shadows when a new danger threatens to tear us apart again?

Life. Loss. Love. The Iris Boys and I have come through so much together. I’ve learned how to fight for what I want, live through loss, and love beyond compare. For us, normal is relative, not universal. And as much as I want to say that’s the end of it, that we lived happily ever after ... that’s not the case. At least, not yet. There’s one more job we have to take on. This one is personal and the end result could very well tear us all apart.

What does it mean to be an Iris girl? Does it mean following instructions and respecting the authority of your team? Or does it mean taking risks? The latter – I’m finding – is something I’m good at. When the guys send me to Ms. Enders’ Etiquette Camp for Refined Young Ladies, I know that I need to master the game and play the part of the respectable socialite. We need to find the answer to this question: What is causing the girls to commit suicide? I knew there would be danger here, and if I don’t watch my back, I could find myself in a whole lot of trouble. ***The is a Reverse Harem title*** **Please be warned that the content of this book may include some triggering subjects and scenes***

A life for a life … will kill the both of us in the end. Clover I know nothing of the Sickness at Eastpoint University. I know only the backroads that slip past the southern beaches and the gators that make their way onto the swamps shores. Until him. Until the killer known as Braxton Smalls finds his way into my stilted trailer on the coast of Port Charlotte. He came looking for Ace, but he found me instead… Braxton I’m a monster. Always have been. Always will be. The only people I’ve ever given a shit about are my boys and their girls. No one hurts my family, and knowing that someone has … and that they’ve gotten away with it plagues me. Ace Volkov will pay for what he put Avalon through and if I have to use his most precious weakness to draw him out, I will. She thinks she can bargain for his life with her own, but I mean to show her that there’s nothing I won’t do to see my vengeance through to the end.

It will end the same way it started … with death. Clover I gave Braxton Smalls everything. I sacrificed myself and all I ended up with was a broken heart and a shattered soul. Now, I’ve got bigger things to worry about than an angry Eastpoint Heir hot on my trail. Brax may be the psycho who kidnapped me–but he’s nothing compared to the organization my brother works for. And me? I’m the monster ready to wreck them all. Braxton I live for vengeance. That's all I know, all I see. Until her. Until Clover La Roux. No … until Evgenia Volkov. Daughter of a Russian mobster. Sister to the man who tortured one of my best friends. The only woman to ever satisfy the cruel desires inside of me. Whoever took her will pay with their lives. And once I have her back, I’ll make sure she can never leave me again. Consequences be damned.

Rule No. 3: Never let anyone think they can hurt you and get away with it. I thought I’d seen and felt the worst of it, but there’s nothing worse than betrayal. Corina knows who’s behind what happened to me and she may think hiding will keep her safe, but after everything that’s happened, nothing can keep her safe from me and the Sick Boys. She’s a pawn in all of this, but I’ll get that information even if it means I have to cut it out of her - piece by fucking piece. This little charade is about to end. They thought they could drag me down into the dirt and grind my soul into the dust. What they failed to realize is that there’s nothing left of my soul and I don’t mind getting a little dirty if it means getting my revenge. I may have let her fool me once, but there’s no way in hell I’ll let her fool me twice. After I’m done with her, I’m going after the big boys.

What tangled webs we weave... He’s everything I don’t want. A playboy. A beast with a cunningly gorgeous smile. Faces like his only mean one thing. Somewhere underneath all of that handsomeness, there lies a monster. And if anyone can sense a monster, it’s me. I understand cruelty. I’ve lived and breathed it for my entire life. I existed on the ‘charity’ of others until I realized that wouldn’t be enough. My demons would soon be let free. They were coming back for me and in order to be ready for them—to be ready for him—I needed to make myself invincible. But it’s not enough. If I’m going to survive then I need to make an alliance with a monster of my own: Abel Frazier.

He’s dangerous. He’s violent. He’s everything I should stay away from. Viks stormed into my life and he wrecked it. I know bad men. I know what they think. I know how they act. So trust me when I say, that of all the bad men in Eastpoint, I know Viks is the worst of them all. I tried to be good. I tried to stay away. He kept pulling me back in. Once a wicked man, always a wicked man. *This is a complete prequel novel that serves as a precursor to the Sick Boys series. You do NOT have to read the series to understand this book.

Willow Six years ago, I made a mistake. The worst mistake I could have ever possibly made. I fell in love with the wrong person and … I told him. Ryan’s always been with me ever since I can remember. It’s been the two of us—side by side. Through every new beginning, every new ‘family’, and every failure. Is it any wonder that the love I had for him turned into something different—something deeper? Something utterly rotten? And is it any wonder that he hates me for it now? Ryan I’m a damaged soul, and she’s the only thing that’s ever held me together. But the one woman I want is the one woman I can never have. She thinks I hate her for her confession, and maybe a part of me does. What I hate more, though, is that I have to push her away to keep her safe. That I have to pretend like I don’t fucking want her when she’s all I’ve been able to think about for the last six years. We’re no fucking Romeo and Juliet. We’re much worse than that. A love like ours was doomed from the start. **NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Alright guys, I’m gonna need your trust on this one. This might seem like a crazy idea and I assure you, it is. But I’m here, on my knees now, for you―asking you to trust me. TRUST. IN. ME. It’s gonna be fine. Just get to the end and you’ll understand why I had to do this. This is a STANDALONE book.**
