He’s older, dangerous, and built to protect… but the way he touches me is anything but professional.
I’m a true crime podcaster used to chasing stories—not running from them.
But when my latest episode sparks real threats, I’m forced into hiding.
Now I’m sharing a beachside villa with a man who makes my pulse race.
Harper Shaw is ex-special forces—scarred, silent, and impossible to ignore.
He keeps things strictly business.
Until the tension finally snaps.
He’s strong enough to handle anything.
Including me.
His hands are rough.
His mouth is skilled.
But every time I give in to him, I feel the danger closing in.
And when he pins me to the wall, I forget why I was ever afraid.
But danger still follows us.And the man who’s after me is getting closer, and nowhere feels safe for long.
So if Harper and I get too close, we’ll have more to lose than just our control.What if the safest place I can be… is tangled up in him?
I came to expose him. I never expected to crave him.Jack “Bubba” McFadden is a grumpy, gorgeous relic with a bad reputation and arms built to break rules.
He runs a rundown racetrack that’s one vote away from being bulldozed.
I’m the reporter sent to cover the story—
And I’m not supposed to get involved.
But from the second he growls at me across the garage,
I can’t stop looking.
Can’t stop wanting.
He calls me trouble. I call him infuriating.
Neither of us is wrong.
We clash, we burn, and somewhere in between the fights and the frustration,
I end up in his bed.
His mouth is all rough apologies and dirty promises.
His hands are pure sin.
And when my violent ex shows up at the track,
It’s Jack who throws the first punch.
Now we’re tangled in something hotter than either of us can control—
While the city, the press, and my past try to tear it all apart.I came for the story. But now I’m his—and I’m not walking away without a fight.
I was supposed to be in Stillwater to break my writer's block....
And it worked.
But I may have broken something else in the process...
When I got here, Reid was my first real human contact. I locked myself out and he rescued me.
But my curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't leave it alone.
I kept poking around his place, picking apart his reasons for obsessively fixing things.
All while finding the story of a lifetime—a woman disappeared in this very lake.
The spark of creativity came at the same time as the spark of attraction and both of them grew large enough to burn me—and him.
He's going through his own personal hell, and struggling to stay sober while he does it, and I may have inadvertently put the bottle right back into his hands.
It's up to me to fix this now, but I'm not sure I can.
This silver fox had a huge secret I mistakenly unearthed, and I'm not sure if he can handle it when the whole town finds out.
I’m supposed to spend my two weeks of spring break relaxing before my life changes forever.
Instead, I find myself flitting off to a surf school in Hawaii to kill time and find a bit of adventure before I’m locked into 48-hour shifts and an intense medical residency.
The two-week trip is supposed to help me loosen up and be a little crazy for a while.
And boy does it work.
Before I’m there a full 24 hours I find myself smitten by the gorgeous surfing instructor, Tanner Reid.
He’s hot and smart, a little silver around the temples, and my god the way he looks at me.
A steamy night after a group get together turns into something bigger than either of us can imagine.
And the storm of a century traps us alone together on an island where no one can get to us until the storm breaks.
There is a lot more than bonding happening, but it doesn’t matter because when we return to shore, it’s time to say goodbye.
Except, you’re not supposed to feel like this after just a fling, right? And love doesn’t hurt...
So why is my heart trashed at the idea that I have to return home to pick up where I left off like nothing even happened?
He’s older, dangerous, and my father’s best friend… but the way he looks at me could burn us both.
I didn’t plan to work for Jack Grant.But one phone call from my dad, and suddenly I’m his newest intern.
Billionaire. Gorgeous. Ruthless in business.
He’s known me since I was a teenager—and now he’s seeing me in ways that have nothing to do with my résumé.
At first, it’s just a look.
Then a touch that lasts too long.
Then his voice, telling me exactly what he wants to do to me.
Jack keeps control over everything—except me.
He’s not supposed to want me.
I’m not supposed to want him.
But when his mouth is on mine and his hands are on my skin, I forget every reason we can’t do this.
Every stolen moment is a risk.I
f my father finds out, it’ll destroy more than just our friendship.
So why does the most dangerous man I know feel like the only one I can’t stop craving?
