Her time was running out, so she returned home to say goodbye.
She didn’t expect me to lock the door behind her.

Slade returns to our Havoc Guardians family after vanishing for years. Her green eyes no longer have the light and spark of mischief I remember. Gone is the vibrant spitfire, and in her place is a woman who feels nothing at all.

As the VP, I’m the one who protects this club. It’s a role I take seriously; one I was groomed for. So, when it becomes clear Slade is our biggest threat, the smart move is to let her walk away.

But that’s not going to happen.

Because I’m Havoc’s defender. Her defender.

And when the threat of her life comes for her, I’ll guard her body.

And fight like hell for her soul.

Trapped 8,000 feet under the ocean.
Her best chance of escape?
The man she swore she would never see again.

Fighting increasing danger that threatens the lives of everyone in the deep-sea habitat, Ethan vows to protect Becca at all costs. But as their options dwindle, leaving them trapped 8000 feet below the surface, will it be enough to keep her alive?

Bratva heir. Killer. A man feared even by his own family.

He says he’ll kill Ivan if I don’t obey.

Behind the brutal threats is a man haunted by loss, hunted by betrayal, and hellbent on revenge.
He should terrify me.
So why does he make me feel seen?

If I give in, I’ll lose myself.
If I don’t, I’ll lose the one person I love.
How do you survive when the devil pulls your strings?

July 12, 2025  in Bad Boy Romance / Featured  tagged $0.99 / age gap / Bad Boy Romance / forced proximity / Kindle Unlimited / Ovni Michaels / silver fox by Scarlett

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.

April 16, 2025  in Bad Boy Romance / Featured  tagged $0.99 / age gap / Bad Boy Romance / beach read / forced proximity / Kindle Unlimited / medical student / Ovni Michaels / silver fox by Scarlett

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?

FORCED TO WED: A grieving mafia princess trapped in a deadly alliance…with the one man she swore she could never have.

She’s my best friend’s daughter.
Barely twenty-two.
Sacred. Forbidden. Mine.

She never dreamed she'd wear my ring, share my name, warm my bed…
But with her father's blood still fresh on the streets and vultures circling, I'm the devil she knows.

What began as duty ignites into an obsession I can't control.

Because when I look at Bella now, I don't see Giovanni's innocent little girl.
I see the woman who could bring me to my knees.

As she claws her way to power at my side, I'm losing the battle to resist her.
The walls I built from my first wife's betrayal are falling,
And the secrets in my past could get us both killed.

With my baby growing inside her,
And my brother plotting our destruction,
I'll paint this city red.
Because I'll slaughter anyone who tries to take what's mine

“You were never just a duty, Bella. You were always meant to be my salvation.”
