I’m the queen of romance. Considering I write kissing books for a living, my own love life should be worthy of a fairytale, right? Wrong. And when I run into a bit of a stalker problem, the journey to finding my happily ever after goes from bad to hot mess real fast. Because that’s when Dex Stone–my brothers’ best friend, military badass, and the boy I’ve loved my whole life–designates himself as my bodyguard. Little does he know, I don’t need a knight in shining armor, despite how good he looks in uniform. But Dex is stubborn, my brothers are overprotective, and I am so, so screwed. Because no matter how capable I am of slaying my own dragons, when it comes to this sexy Navy SEAL, there’s one thing I failed to protect… My heart. WRITING DIRTY is an interconnected stand-alone of the BTU Alumni squad with scenes steamy enough to inspire this romance writing Covenette. This laugh out loud rom-com features a cast of characters who don't know how to stay in their lane, a heroine who refuses to be a damsel, and a hero determined to prove he can deliver one hell of a happily ever after.

Chance The day I saw Gemma Steele’s delicious body wearing nothing but a few scraps of lace, I knew being traded was the least of my problems. Her sexy text may not have been meant for me, but that image is not something a warm-blooded man could ever forget—no matter how badly he wants to. I’ve tried to resist her, but I can’t seem to escape Little Miss Suzy Sunshine. Every interaction is rife with tension and animosity, until it boils over, and we cross the point of no return. That’s when I know I’m screwed, because now when I look at her, all I think is: Mine. Who knew a simple selfie could be such a recipe for disaster? Gemma The first time I met Chance Jenson, I was into the whole broody-bad-boy thing. But then he opened his mouth and I quickly realized he’s not just a little moody—he’s the grumpiest jerk to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. I wasn’t having any part of it. I agreed to cook for his dogs, but promised myself that the only thing he would ever eat are his words. I spent more than a year doing my best to hate him, but when Chance’s lips land on mine, I feel…conflicted. I don’t want to want the jackass. I certainly don’t want to have feelings for him. Unfortunately for me, my heart seems to have other plans. What the hell am I going to do? DEFENSIVE HEARTS is an enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with hella sexual tension featuring a sunshiny personal chef, a grumpy hockey player who’s jealous his dogs get all her love, and a sexy selfie that pushes this possessive alphahole over the edge. While this hilarious romance stands alone with its HEA, you won’t go wrong catching up with the best girl gang around–The Covenettes–in the rest of the BTU Alumni series.

I was the epitome of control. Cocky. Powerful. Ruthless. Until the day Savvy King swaggered into our world. She defied me at every turn, refusing to yield to my command. Her insolence infuriated me as much as it captivated me, until the battle consumed us. She’s the perfect counterpart to my reign. Except...the ring on her finger belongs to another. People want to play politics with my life—with our lives. That is a mistake. Don't underestimate what I'll do to claim her as mine and secure my queen. RUTHLESS NOBLE is book 2 in The Royalty Crew Duet and cannot be read as a stand-alone. It picks up right where the cliff of SAVAGE QUEEN left you breathless. The secrets and lies are piling up around them. This Queen needs someone ruthless enough to stand by her side.

Ryan I’m done with dating. Happily-ever-after isn’t in the cards for me, so I’m officially taking myself off the market. Hockey is my mecca. The arena my temple. The ice the altar I worship at. Then…I met her. Strip me naked and run me over with a Zamboni—she’s the textbook definition of a bad love match. Amara Miller, beyond beautiful and effortlessly drawing me into her orbit and making it impossible to resist her. Amara It should have been a simple cross-country move. Instead, it sent me crashing—quite literally—into the captain of Coach’s new hockey team. Did I mention he was half-naked when it happened? It doesn’t matter that he’s sexy as sin and the swooniest motherpucker I’ve ever met. I will not lust after hockey players. Been there. Done that. Bought the maternity shirt. And Ryan Donnelly? He’s pretty much Mr. Hockey. The problem is, I’m not the only one enamored with him—my kid is too. It’s turning into a problem, because this mama doesn’t have time to play games when it comes to our hearts. Scoring Beauty is a sporty, sexy romcom featuring a hot-mess (at least in her eyes) single mom who’s about to knock this swoony motherpucking hockey player on his very fine behind. This interconnected stand-alone comes complete with your favorite can’t-mind-their-own-business Covenettes, a next generation trying their hands at the matchmaking shenanigans, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

I grew up a queen among men. Proud. Strong. Royalty. I’ll do anything for the ones I love, even if it means allowing myself to be forced from my kingdom. I may be stuck having to play Samantha St. James inside the gilded halls of my new school, but I’ll always be Savvy King at my core. Now Jasper Noble and his merry band of douchebags expect me to yield. That’s funny. They think they’re tough. Gods among men. I know they’re nothing but ordinary bullies. With threats coming from all sides, my adversaries will come to learn—I don’t bend the knee for false kings.

The mighty Casanova has fallen Me: six foot five, two hundred and fifty pounds, collegiate football player. Protected by my pint-sized girlfriend. Comical. Ridiculous. BROKEN. She tackled my heart, but theywant the rest of me. Mason Nova is...MINE. Gossips love drama. Anything to up their likes, especially when we're the story. Enough is ENOUGH. I stopped hiding and paid the price...even have the scars to prove it. It’s time to control my narrative. I’m taking a page from my boyfriend’s playbook to prove he’s not the only one playing for keeps. PLAYING FOR KEEPS is book 3in the #UofJ Series and cannot be read as a stand-alone. It picks up right after the epic cliffhanger in GAME CHANGER. Our rainbow-haired sass queen is out to prove her Caveman isn't the only alpha in their relationship to win their #HEA.

I had the girl — THE girl. Kay. My Skittles...MINE. Then a blitz from the past flattened me like a linebacker. Time for a new playbook. Mason Nova is...argh! I told myself to stay away. Warned my heart not to fall for him. Did it listen? NOPE. Now it feels like it’s crushed under a fallen cheer pyramid. Sorry to tell you, but you are NOT a game changer. *GAME CHANGER is book 2 in the U of J Series and cannot be read as a stand-alone. It picks up right from the cliff LOOKING TO SCORE threw you off of. Can our too-charming-for-his-own-good Casanova win back his pint-sized, rainbow-haired sass queen in this second chance sports romance? The banter between these two continues until Mase and Kay’s story concludes in PLAYING FOR KEEPS. *

They call me Casanova Football God. Ladies Man. Campus Celebrity. Guys want to be me and girls want to bed me Commitment? What's that? Then I saw her--tiny, gorgeous and oh so...MINE. Mason Nova is an egotistical jerk. Player. Persistent. Pain in the Pom-Pom. I don't care if he's the star of the gridiron or how tight his end is. I know his stats both on and off the field. My answer will always be NO. The last thing I need in my life is another charmer who's looking to score.

It was easy to promise her brothers she'd never date another one of their teammates again. Until she meets Jake.

@UofJ411: What’s happening here? #TheyDoSayOppositesAttract #WhereAreAllThePost-its On a scale of one to ten, Quinn Thompson is a fifteen. Gorgeous. Fiery. A cheerleader so far out of my league it’s embarrassing that I even fantasize about her. I need to find a way to shut down the dirty thoughts she inspires before it’s too late. If I don’t, this whole new life of mine is at risk. Easier said than done when temptation lives right down the hall. For such a smart guy, CK can be surprisingly clueless. Sweet. Shy. The star of all my hot nerd fantasies, but utterly blind to my flirtations. Giving in to his plea to be his love coach may seem drastic, but I’m desperate for the chance to come off the bench. Too bad the friend zone was a hell of a lot safer for my heart.
