NHL veteran player Kieran Marsh has had more relationships than trips to the sin bin, making him a player on and off the ice. And two years ago, I had a one night stand with him when I thought I would forever stay the anonymous girl in the hockey jersey. But now my city has an expansion team, and guess who's one of their star players? Of course I accept an offer to go see the opening night game. I can't stay away, even though hockey destroyed my family, and so much about Kieran reminds me of the worst things my father ever did to my mother. And when Kieran sees me in the stands? I know nothing is going to be the same again. This is his game, and he knows how to win.

When a mystery girl wearing my hockey jersey and a matching toque to mine tumbles out of a post-game party, I have to follow her. When we end up at the bar, trading stories and laughs? I have to make a play for the rest of the night. That she only wants one night, and doesn't want to give me her name…those are problems for the morning. And that tiny niggle of worry? I have to ignore it... The Girl in the Hockey Jersey is a novella-length, one-night stand prequel that takes place two years before The Playing Game, a full-length novel!

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then it’s business as usual. Cole: I screwed up, but I can fix this. Hailey: This can’t be fixed. Part two of a three book serial about a bad-ass alpha male and the curvy woman he can't give up. Hate F*@k: part one is now available! Hate F*@k: part three will finish the serial in April 2015.

Warning: This is just the start. This doesn't end well. And it's going to get much worse before it ever gets better. Cole: I push her buttons. I want to push them in the good way. Dirty, up-against-the-wall, my-hand-in-her-pants kind of way. But that’s not possible, because I’m dark and she’s light, and we both know it. So I push her buttons in the bad way, making her hate me. Hailey: If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d ask for Cole Parker to never look at me again, that I’d forget the dark promise in his eyes, and that just once, before he vanished from my life completely, that he’d push me up against a wall and fuck me. Then I’d go wash my mouth out with soap.

Hailey: In the blink of an eye, everything changed, and I can’t pretend I don’t need Cole anymore. He’s my heart and soul, but he’s shut me out, and I’m scared. Cole: Keeping Hailey at arms’ length used to be an annoying challenge. Now it’s a matter of life and death. I want vengeance. And then I want Hailey to be mine, forever. Final part of the three book Hate F*@k serial. NOT A STANDALONE STORY.

I know what I’m doing when I text Scott at four in the morning. He knows what I’m doing, too. That’s why he shows up twenty-three minutes later, freshly showered with a condom in his pocket and a barely dissolved breath mint on his tongue. I smirk as he looms over me. “You are such a dirty old man.” “We need to stop doing this.” “Why?” “Because you’re twenty-one and I’m not. Because I want to take you on a f***ing date and you won’t. Because we wind up yelling at each other half the time.” “But the rest of the time you’re inside me and it feels so good, right?” His eyes darken and I don’t need to look down to know he’s hard for me. *** THIS IS A STANDALONE BOOK, no cliffhangers, no serials, just lots and lots of omg you need to read this freaking NOW ***

I’ve got one week to get my head in the game and forget about my inconvenient attraction to my teammate’s wife. A relaxing retreat to cottage country with my teammates is the perfect way to prep for the upcoming hockey season. Or so I thought. Now I’m trapped in my cabin with my crush–and her jerk of a husband–where it's impossible to get space or clarity. Or get over her. And that mission becomes even harder when I learn that Shannon’s marriage is failing. With the lines of loyalty and friendship becoming blurred, and relationships being tested in all directions, I know I need to tap the brakes hard. Until one night when everyone else is at a party down the lake, and the team captain makes me an offer I can’t refuse…to share his wife, and have a taste of the forbidden I always assumed was forever out of reach. The Rebound Plan is a swoony forbidden romance between a tall, growly, protective hockey player and a failed model-turned-escort-turned-WAG who needs to learn to love herself as much as she loves those around her. It's not a love triangle - you know who to root for from page one. #TeamRuss the whole way.

She’s got a crush on the delivery guy. He’s got a billion-dollar secret. I recognize the sound of his truck turning off in front of my building. Not only do I recognize it, but my pulse picks up and I get all hot and bothered. Then I hear the low growl cutting out, followed by the clank of metal as he pulls up the back door to grab my package…. Grab my package? That sounds so dirty. Which is probably appropriate given some of the fantasies I’ve had about him. My obsession with the new, mysterious delivery driver is crazy. Intense. Distracting. The last thing I need is to be crushing on a six-foot-something distraction with a dirty grin. But my friends have other plans. First in a sexy new rom com series! The second book in this series is currently available in the Love in Transit anthology.

On a day when I felt utterly broken, a mistaken identity slip up gave me a single, scorching night with Max Donovan. He called me gorgeous and asked for my submission. I gave him control and he gave me endless pleasure…because he thought he’d hired me for the night. Now he knows I’m not a call girl. I’m a junior lawyer at his new firm, and we absolutely cannot do it again. One of us needs to be responsible, and it’s not going to be the former child TV star turned best friend to the prime minister. So why can’t I forget how utterly incredible it was to be at his mercy? And what am I going to do when he takes his pursuit to the next level? . . . DIAGNOSIS: * A serious case of a one-night stand gone wrong (but not until after it went very, very right). PRESCRIPTION: * Healthy boundaries and a double-dose of will power. * Should that plan fail, the second course of treatment would be an air-tight contract and a solid cover story. END NOTE: * Real doctors and lawyers will likely be appalled at the professional infractions inside this (thankfully fictional) erotic romance. We recommend they start with Prime Minister, the first book in the Frisky Beavers series. By the time they finish Gavin and Ellie’s book, they’ll be so enamoured with Max that they’ll forgive his transgressions in the pursuit of his filthy happily ever after ending.

A kinky Prime Minister, a vanilla intern, and a scandal that shouldn't feel so right or cost so much. Gavin: Ellie Montague is smart, sensitive, and so gorgeous it hurts to look at her. She’s also an intern in my office. The office of the Prime Minister of Canada. * That’s me. The PM. She calls me that because when she calls me Sir, I get hard and she gets flustered, and as long as she’s my intern, I can’t twist my hands in her strawberry-blonde hair and show her what else I’d like her to do with that pretty pink mouth. ** Ellie: How much I like the PM varies on a daily basis. He’s intense, controlling, and a perfectionist in every way — and he demands the same of his staff. How much I want him never wavers. There’s something about him that tugs at me deep inside, and makes me wish that just once he’d cross the line in a late night work session. I’d take that secret to the grave if it meant I got a taste of the barely restrained beast inside him. *** FOOTNOTES: * This is a fictional romance. No prime ministers or interns were harmed in the making of this book. ** Except it’s a kinky romance, so they were hurt a little. *** Spoiler alert: she gets more than a taste. And she likes it.

To the rest of the world, Tabitha Leyton is a pop superstar at the top of her career, selling out huge concerts.

And then she returns to her life, knowing the cost—but she will do anything to protect her secret past. So Wilson walks away. Officially. Unofficially? He's watching and waiting. Dirty Love is a standalone romance in the Forbidden Bodyguards series. Also available: Hate F*@k Booty Call Wicked Sin Filthy Liar

Sasha: He’s a player. End of story. I’m not interested. Tate: Something about her lights me up inside. Makes me reckless. So what if she doesn’t like me? I like her—a lot. And once I turn on the charm, she doesn’t stand a chance. Sasha: Fine. Maybe we can use each other for sex. And the occasional late night conversation that nobody else will understand. That doesn’t mean anything… THE PLAY-BY-PLAY: * They don’t like each other, but they both like sex—and watching * They have more in common with each other than they want to admit * Sometimes the best f*** buddies are friends, too THE SCORE: * This is a hockey romance heavy on body-checking and double entendres, and light on ice-time. Let’s call it hockey-adjacent. We make up for that with angsty fighting, happy screwing, and a love story so secret even the main characters don’t see it coming.

Stew: I haven’t been the most attentive husband lately. Adrienne: He’s the chief of staff to a brand new prime minister. I get it. But… Stew: Yeah. That “but”. That’s the problem. I’ve got a lot on my plate, but none of it is more important than my marriage. FOOTNOTES: • No hipsters or metrosexuals were harmed in the making of this book • This story takes place at the beginning of Prime Minister (Frisky Beavers #1), but can be read as a standalone silver fox story • This book includes a significant excerpt from Prime Minister. Retrosexual ends at the 60% mark in the ebook.
