The Hunted & Light to My Darkness
Made of Steel
Roughing the Princess
Ivy Smoak
He’s a football superstar. She’s a popstar princess. And the whole world is watching…
For the last two months, rumors have been swirling that I have a crush on the world's biggest popstar.
And the rumors are true.
Yes, I went to her concert and tried to meet her. And yes, I got turned away by her security. Thanks to my brother not being able to keep his big mouth shut on our podcast, the whole world knows that.
That's what started all this speculation.
But it's also what got me her number.
Somehow the tabloids found out that we've been texting. But that's all they know.
They don't know what we say in those texts. And they definitely don't know what kind of pictures she sends me.
Now I've sent her tickets to come watch my next home game.
My teammates don't believe she'll come. But I know she will. If she doesn't, it's her loss. Because I've been dreaming about our first meeting for months. And the things I'm going to do to her are too sinful to be reported in the tabloids.
Roughing the Princess is an extra spicy standalone with a happily every after.
Playing a Player (Sweet Cravings, #1)
Ivy Smoak

My last single friend just got married, leaving me roommate-less. When Rory shows up at my door, I'm more than a little surprised to find out that a guy has answered my ad. Living with a man wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Especially one as handsome as Rory. He's charming, confident, and...completely off limits. He's a total player. And I don't want to end up getting played.
But when all the other applicants don't seem to be a good fit, I can't help but let my mind wander back to him. What's the worst that could happen if I let him move in? It's not like I'm going to fall in love with him...
Bad Things Feel Best

A young writer searching for inspiration instead finds danger, betrayal, and romance in a spellbinding novel by USA Today bestselling author Ivy Smoak. It’s almost like he wants her to think he is a monster. Hazel Fox arrives at her new job on a private island hoping to get inspiration from a renowned novelist, only to discover she won’t be working with the author after all. She won’t even get to meet her. Instead, she’ll be assisting the handsome—and infuriating—Mr. Remington. Mr. Remington unnerves Hazel from the moment they meet. Not only because he’s cold and strict and seems hell-bent on getting her to quit…but because his eyes are the same color of the ocean in their backyard. And his intense gaze always seems to be trained on her. Mr. Remington refuses to share any personal information about himself—not even his first name. But if there’s one thing Hazel is certain of in this beautiful, isolated estate, it’s that Mr. Remington has secrets. And those secrets are dangerous. Something sinister is going on, and Hazel is determined to discover the truth…no matter how close she has to get to Mr. Remington. After all, it’s the things that are bad for us that feel best.
Temptation (The Hunted, #1)
Ivy Smoak
Shy student Penny Taylor always follows the rules. At least, that’s how it appears to her classmates. But she has one illicit secret – she’s fallen hard for her professor. And she’s pretty sure he’s fallen for her too.
Everyone loves Professor Hunter. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. And completely unobtainable. But it’s the secrets hiding behind his deep brown eyes that allures Penny. Secrets darker than she could ever imagine.
James Hunter gave up his billionaire lifestyle in NYC last year to become a professor. The easiest new rule to follow: don’t fraternize with the students. It’s easy to follow because he’s become quite the recluse in his new town – the only way he knows how to keep his secrets buried.
But he never expected to be teaching such a beautiful student. He has to resist her. He needs to walk away. Penny deserves better than a man with his demons. But she’s daring him to cross the line. And he’s never been one to resist temptation.
Addiction (The Hunted, #2)
Ivy Smoak
Temptation has quickly turned into addiction. Penny fell hard for her mysterious professor, but secrets have torn them apart. After all, scandalous affairs are meant to go down in flames.
Now that he's not speaking to her, she feels numb. And what hurts the most is that he appears to be completely fine. As she struggles to accept that their relationship is really over, her best friend's crude advice is in the back of her mind- the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
Will she be able to move on, or is her addiction to her alluring professor only just beginning?

Ivy Smoak
My boyfriend was kidnapped.

No matter what it takes.
This is war, baby.
Untouchable (Empire High, #1)
Ivy Smoak
Everyone knows Matthew Caldwell.
Charming.
Gorgeous.
Wealthy.
And way out of my league.
So when he invites me into the lifestyle of the rich and famous?
I agree in a heartbeat.
But behind all the glitz and glam?
Secrets.
Lies.
Betrayal.
All hidden behind a perfect smile and a tailored jacket.
I should have known better than to pretend to belong in his world...
Obsessed (Professor Hunter, #1)
Ivy Smoak
I’m not a good man. And it turns out I’m an even worse professor.
I have sinful thoughts about one of my students. Every night. I picture her in my bed. In my shower. Underneath me. Right up against the chalkboard. I’m especially fond of that one.
In my defense, I know her thoughts are as sinful as mine. She’s begging me with her beautiful blue eyes. She’s daring me to cross the line.
No, I’m not a good man. And I’m done pretending to be. I know exactly what I’m going to do to her as soon as she walks into my office hours…
Empire High Untouchables (Empire High, #1)
Ivy Smoak
The Untouchables. That’s what everyone calls the Hunter and Caldwell brothers. At least, it’s my best friend’s nickname for them. And since she’s the only one that talks to me at my new school, I’ll take her word for it.
The nickname probably comes from the fact that they’re exorbitantly wealthy. Old wealth. The kind that isn’t flaunted around. But you can tell by the way they carry themselves. Or maybe the name just refers to the fact that they’re so beautiful it’s almost hard to look at them.
No matter the reason for their nickname, it’s an ironic one. Because I’ve only been going to this school for a week and I already want to touch.
Seduction (The Hunted #5)
Ivy Smoak
I’m pregnant.
With my professor’s baby.
I know it all sounds very scandalous. But I swear we’re both quite happy about this unexpected situation.
Everything is about to change once we have a baby though.
So I’m going to take advantage of these last several months before I’m so big that I can ’t see my feet.
I thought seducing my professor was hot. But just wait until he sees what I have planned for these next few months.
It’s going to be scorching.
Runaway (Empire High, #5)
Ivy Smoak
To the first boy I ever loved.
I intended to keep my promises to you. I swear. I loved you, Matthew Caldwell. With my whole heart. I think a piece of me will always love you.
But it all came crashing down when I realized you didn’t keep your promises to me.
I refuse to take any of my days for granted. I learned that the hard way.
So I’m sorry. But I can’t keep my promises to someone who didn’t keep theirs.
XOXO,
-Brooklyn Sanders

The easiest way to get over someone is to never see them again, right? So when my ex stomps on my heart and throws it into the sewer…I decide to spend my summer on the opposite side of the country. And this summer is all about me. Mending my broken heart (screw all men). Figuring out what I want to do with my life (a life that thankfully does not include my ex). And trying to better myself (does eating ice cream count?). But all my perfect planning comes to a halt when the sexiest lifeguard in existence asks me out. I have to say no. It doesn’t matter that he’s built like a Greek god, has eyes the color of the ocean, or is hotter than a summer night. I’m going to say no, I swear. He’s going straight into the friend zone. Although, I’m pretty sure he’d be more delicious than any flavor of ice cream. Can’t I put him in the friend zone after just one taste?
Eruption (The Hunted, #3)

Layla's Forecast
Ivy Smoak
Has my producer lost his mind?
The segment he just proposed is ridiculous.
Unheard of.
And completely inappropriate.
I can’t do that in the middle of a live broadcast!
It’ll be the end of my career.

Speaking of big... my co-star just dropped his pants.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to do it.

This Is Love (The Light to My Darkness #3) (The Haunted, #8)
Ivy Smoak
I fell in love with Penny as soon as she fell into my arms. I wasn’t a believer in fate, but she convinced me. And every day she convinced me just how special our relationship was. It was us against the world. And I foolishly thought our love was indestructible. Now I know that love isn’t about light and darkness or whirlwinds of color. Love can’t be defined in such simple terms. When you lose it, all of that becomes clear. I don’t know how much longer I can breathe in a world where I look into my wife’s eyes and only see a stranger. I’d do anything to get her back. But this is one thing I don’t know how to fix. This is the end to our love story. I just hope to God it’s not the end of us.
Devotion (The Hunted, #4)
Ivy Smoak
Tick tock. One day before the wedding of her dreams, Penny is in a city that is no longer her home. Alone. Heartbroken. Lost. Could the past few years really mean so little to a man that became her world? To a man she'd do anything to protect? There is no future without him. There is no her without him.
With only 24 hours until the wedding, is there enough time to repair the damage? Tick tock.
And even if Penny and James do come back to each other, Isabella is still out there plotting. The world is still against them. Darkness still lurks in the shadows of James' past. A student and her professor were never meant to be forever. They thought it was an everlasting love, but it was doomed from the very start. Tick tock.
Temptation led to addiction, which exploded into an eruption of chaos. And when the pieces settled, only one thing became clear...devotion. One great love. A love worth fighting for. Because the only thing that lasts forever is love.
Forever (Empire High #8)
Ivy Smoak
Brooklyn
I will never take a single day for granted again. Despite everything, I’m still here. I’m still breathing. And I’m not going anywhere.
Even though 16 years have passed, my heart still belongs to Matthew Caldwell. And I think it’s about time we start our forever.
Matt
I waited 16 years for Brooklyn to come back to me. And I won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of us being together now.
She is my heart. My home. My everything. And no matter what it takes, I will make her my wife.
Devoured (Professor Hunter, #2)

I know I’m a monster.But sometimes the villain wins the girl. Right?

Matt
Brooklyn has always been mine.
I loved her when she was a Sanders. I loved her when she was a Pruitt. And even though I’m angry, I know I’ll love her now, as a Miller. But it’s about time I made her a Caldwell.
Homecoming (Empire High #6)
Ivy Smoak
Brooklyn
I was locked in a cage for 16 years. But I lived in it willingly.
And I didn’t come back to this city for a boy who forgot about me when I was kidnapped. Matthew Caldwell broke his promises to me. And I broke every single promise I made him.
But it’s a lot easier to decide something when you’re not staring at your past face to face. Matthew Caldwell helped heal my heart once before. And I think maybe he’s the only one that can help me now.
Matt
It’s easiest to remember Brooklyn in the fall. The autumn leaves remind me of her. The crisp smell of the air. It’s all her.
I wasted half my life loving someone that’s never coming back. And I still want all the things I once did – kids, a wife, a home.
But how can I move forward if I still feel her presence at every turn? It’s almost like she’s still here with me…
Matchmaker (Empire High, #4)
Ivy Smoak
Matthew Caldwell is NYC's most eligible bachelor.
Charming.
Gorgeous.
Wealthy.
Great with kids.
Broken.
Sixteen years ago he lost everything. He made a vow to never love again. But suddenly everyone in his life is acting like a matchmaker. He can't help but wonder if a broken vow is better than a broken heart.
There's just one problem. Only one woman in the city has caught his attention. And it's the only woman he can't have.
Betrayal (Empire High, #3)
Ivy Smoak
My new family is dangerous. I’ve heard the whispers. I’ve seen it firsthand. And my new last name puts me in danger too.
The only thing keeping me in this city is Matthew Caldwell. If I didn’t love him, I’d be long gone. But he says I’m changing. That I’m becoming the thing I hate. And I’m worried he might be right. What if I’m actually the dangerous one?
Because all I want to do is prove I belong here just as much as anyone else. I’m going to become one of the elite. I’m going to live like an Untouchable. And no one will be able to break me. Ever. Again.
But while I’m focused on fitting into this new world, I forget that the stakes are so much bigger than who’s the most popular at Empire High. I’m playing with life and death.
I should have seen it coming. After all…I betrayed everyone to get to where I am. It makes sense that one of them would betray me too.
Elite (Empire High, #2)
Ivy Smoak
Welcome to the world of the elite.
My mom fell in love with a monster. I know he’s dangerous. And I know my mom never wanted him in my life. I don’t want him in mine either. But I’m being forced to live with him.
I’m stuck in his haunting apartment in a world where I don’t belong. A world full of beautiful people with ugly souls. A world filled with secrets.
And the one person that I thought I could rely on was Matt. But he says my new family is a disease. Does that make me toxic too? Is that why Matt wants to keep me his dirty little secret?
I should have known that all the secrets would come crashing down soon. I just never expected more to break than Matthew freaking Caldwell breaking my heart.

I needed to prove to myself that I'm not worthless. So I wrote a novel under a pen name, but I've been rejected by so many literary agents I've lost count.

My bestie has been kidnapped by a mafia boss. And now he’s going to auction her virginity. The most powerful, handsome men from all over the world have flown in to bid on her tonight.
But I’m going to save her.
It won’t be easy. I have to disable the security cameras, break into the mafia boss’s private suite on the top floor of the hotel, and then somehow get back out. All while avoiding getting caught by dozens of the hottest, most well-trained guards money can buy.
If they catch me, my bestie won’t be the only girl getting auctioned tonight.
That won’t happen, though. Because my bodyguards will be helping me every step of the way. I just hope they don’t get too jealous when they see how I’m planning to get past some of the guards…

Missing Pieces
Ivy Smoak
Hailey - He's still in love with his ex. And I refuse to be a consolation prize. So why did I just agree to a spur of the moment road trip with him? I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for me. It has nothing to do with the gorgeous man staring at me like I'm a crazy person.
Tyler - Why is she climbing into my car uninvited? I don't care how sweet her smile is. Or how long her legs are. This isn't some aimless summer road trip. But I can tell from the way she's looking at me that she knows the truth. I'm not driving toward something. I'm driving away from something. Someone.
Untouchables (Empire High, #1)
Ivy Smoak
The Untouchables. That’s what everyone calls the Hunter and Caldwell brothers. At least, it’s my best friend’s nickname for them. And since she’s the only one that talks to me at my new school, I’ll take her word for it.
The nickname probably comes from the fact that they’re exorbitantly wealthy. Old wealth. The kind that isn’t flaunted around. But you can tell by the way they carry themselves. Or maybe the name just refers to the fact that they’re so beautiful it’s almost hard to look at them.
No matter the reason for their nickname, it’s an ironic one. Because I’ve only been going to this school for a week and I already want to touch.
Scarlett and the Kiss Thief
Ivy Smoak
I’ve never been kissed.
I know…it’s a huge problem.
It all started because I fell in love with my best friend, Axel Stevens. I decided to save my first kiss for him. But…he didn’t fall in love with me back.
For the first time in years, he’s finally single though. And I have the perfect plan.
I reinvented myself over the summer. I’ve ditched the glasses, upgraded my wardrobe, and I’ve finally mastered the perfect strut in heels.
I’m going to walk into Empire High on my first day of senior year and win him over once and for all.
My plan is flawless. You have my word – I’ll be wearing his varsity jacket by the end of the day.
Fingers crossed I can seal it all with my first kiss.
Forged in Flames (Made of Steel #2)
Ivy Smoak
It's hard to be consumed by revenge when my heart feels like it's breaking in two. A part of me is still in love with Miles. I think I always will be. He embodies everything I thought my life could be. Every hope and dream and wish. But I'm not the girl that he remembers.
And I'd be lying if I said I haven't started to fall for the New York City vigilante. He's the only other person that knows what it's like to live behind a mask. There's a darkness in him that mirrors my own. He embraces my broken soul.
But I'm tired of all the secrets, masks, and lies. I don't need a man to save me. I'm the superhero of my own story. And all I need to focus on right now is Don Roberts - a monster far worse than I ever imagined - before he unleashes the mafia on this city and ruins any chance I have at a new life.
Crazy in Love (Secrets of Suburbia, #3)
Ivy Smoak
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Mistletoe and holly and lights all aglow. It’s my favorite time of year. Until my husband had to go and ruin it.
Christmas is officially canceled at my house now that I’ve kidnapped my husband and locked him in the basement. And not even Santa can get me out of this mess.
I know what you’re thinking. That I’m crazy. But I swear I’m not. I’m going to let him free eventually. Or maybe with a little Christmas magic he’ll fall in love with me again.
*This is a standalone thriller with an unforgettable twist.*
