BLURB

He inherited a hockey team from a father who never claimed him.

Now he’s risking everything for the one woman he shouldn’t want.
When Max Kellogg unexpectedly inherits the Milwaukee Mayhem after the death of the man who refused to acknowledge him, the league expects the brash Hollywood nepo baby to crash and burn. Not wanting to give them—or his late father—the satisfaction of being right, Max steps into the spotlight—rewriting contracts, rebuilding the roster, and signing the most electrifying teenage talent professional hockey has ever seen.
Eighteen-year-old phenom Parker Dern is a virtuoso on the ice—and a tabloid sensation off it. The only person who can steady him is his fiercely devoted older sister, Olivia Dern. When Olivia suddenly finds herself unemployed and on the brink of losing the stability she’s fought so hard to build, Max makes her an offer she can’t refuse: travel with the team. Keep her brother focused. Be his handler. Shield him from the glare of the spotlight.
It’s supposed to be temporary. Strictly professional.
Until late-night flights, luxury hotel rooms, and private skating sessions begin to blur the lines.
Making his late father pay for a lifetime of neglect has always been Max’s driving obsession. But when Olivia walks into his carefully calculated world, revenge is no longer the only thing on his mind. And for the first time, Max must decide if payback is worth losing the one person who makes him want something more.

𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄

I was living my best life with a career, friends, family, and love. Or so I’d thought.

After the ultimate act of betrayal, I find myself in the captivity of a dangerous mobster.

Zarren is unlike any other man I’ve ever known and this newfound world terrifies me.

And that world is one that hits even closer to home when I learn of my true lineage.

I’m not just a Sicilian Mafia Princess, but also betrothed to a Bratva Prince I’ve never met.

Everything I’ve ever known or loved is gone and I’m at the mercy of a captor who intrigues me.

And the attraction between us is hard to ignore, especially after he nearly gives his life for mine.

When we finally give in to the passion between us, it isn’t long before I fall for his raw brutality.

Only time’s running out for us because I’ve already been promised to another equally dangerous man.

𝗭𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻

The bastard son of a sexual predator, I have always had the deck stacked against me.

It’s the reason I had to fight harder to earn my rightful place in the Brannington Empire.

Finally, I’ve forged a path for myself earning the respect of those that came before me.

And I’m tasked with furthering the organization’s power and influence by initiating a trade..

The mission is simple. Retrieve the Cosa Nostra princess and hold her for the Bratva Prince.

Only, she manages to re-ignite a long forgotten fire inside of me and I can’t resist the burn.

Aurora cannot either so when passion erupts between us, the entire mission begins to change.

I no longer want to give her up, wanting instead to keep her beside me… underneath me…

But duty comes before love and I’m forced to make a final wager for the heart I want to claim.

Release Date: June 1, 2026



Crawling back home with my tail between my legs was not the way I saw my life going.
I had it all.
A fantastic job. A fiancée who adored me, and a life any man would dream of.
That’s about the time it all fell apart.
But Montana has a way of healing all wounds, from the beautiful sunrises to the fresh mountain air.
Sure, my father still hated me for leaving. My mother still defended him at every turn.
And the gossip…
It was enough to drive me insane.
And then I sat next to her at The Beaver and Boot.
Gorgeous, curvy, full of life, and so easy to talk to.
She was perfect.
Until I realized she was the same girl I tormented as a kid.
Yep, I was that boy who didn’t know how to tell a girl he liked her, so he picked on her. And boy, did she let me know how much she hated me.
Every Tuesday and Thursday night.
But the one thing she couldn’t ignore was the undeniable chemistry when my body was pressed against hers.It was only supposed to be a friends with benefits situation, but she wormed her way into my head, and made it impossible to ignore my own Foolish Pride.







“Fine. I’ll admit that he has pleasant features.”

They both burst out laughing at that.

“Okay, more than pleasant. Have you seen him?”

Delaney shook her head, waiting on tenterhooks for something more descriptive than “pleasant”.

“He’s…taller.”

“Taller,” she repeated. “That’s all you’ve got for me?”

I stuttered over my thoughts in frustration. I didn’t want to think about him or hot he was. It would only ruin my plan to stay as far away from him as possible. But she wasn’t having it.

“Fine, he’s…muscular. Like, really, really muscular.”

“Declan muscular?”

“Not that much. But it’s one of those things that you can see through his shirt.”

Delaney sighed dreamily. “I love it when you can see their shirts stretched across their biceps.”

“Not to brag, but I have one of those,” Josie grinned.

Delaney smacked her arm. “Hey, some of us can only dream for now.” Then she turned back to me. “Go on.”

“Um…well, he still has warm, chocolate eyes. And his hair is shorter than it used to be.”

“Can you still run your fingers through it?”

As soon as I thought about it, shivers raced down my spine. That was not good. “Yes.”

“Oh my God,” Josie whispered. “Did you hear that hitch in her voice?”

“I definitely did. Tell us more.”

“There was no hitch.”

“There was definitely a hitch. Which means it’s really good. Now spill!”









I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

She rebuilt herself from nothing.

He never expected to be the one she’d have to fight hardest to resist.
Andi Morgan clawed her way out of a past designed to destroy her — foster care, silence, survival — and built something no one could take away: a youth center, a career, a life that finally belongs to her. She’s done being someone else’s liability.
Then the past comes back swinging.
When buried secrets resurface, and a powerful enemy launches a coordinated campaign to dismantle her reputation, her organization, and everything she’s fought for, Andi finds herself in the crosshairs of someone with unlimited resources and no conscience. The attacks are precise. The damage is real. And the person behind it knows exactly which relationships to weaponize.
Luke Woods has been fighting his whole life — in the ring and out of it. He knows how to read an opponent, absorb punishment, and wait for the opening. What he doesn’t know how to do is walk away from a woman who refuses to go down.
Protecting Andi should be simple.
Wanting her is anything but.
As the threat escalates and the stakes turn deadly, Luke and Andi discover that the most dangerous fights aren’t the ones you see coming — they’re the ones you’re already in before you know the bell has rung.
Always protect yourself.
Unless she’s the one you can’t afford to lose.
A steamy romantic suspense novel featuring a protective alpha boxer, a fearless heroine with a buried past, corrupt power, and a slow-burn romance that ignites under fire.

Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.
I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.
By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.

Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.
Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.

New Release ~ A Forced Bond ~ by ~ Ann D. Lang

Title: A Forced Bond

Series: Dark Pack Series Book 1
Author: Ann D. Lang
Release Date: May 15, 2026





Forced together. Fated forever.

She was supposed to find her fated mate under the full moon.
Instead, she is ordered to bond with a stranger.

The full moon after Rhia’s twentieth birthday was meant to be the happiest night of her life. Among wolf shifters, it is the first full moon after turning twenty when a wolf might finally recognize the mate chosen by the Moon Goddess.

Rhia has always hoped that mate would be Caleb, the boy she has loved for years.

But when an entire neighboring pack is brutally wiped out, everything changes.

Fearing they could be next, the Red Moon Pack forms a desperate alliance with the powerful Silver Lake Pack. And alliances between alpha families require one thing above all else: a mating bond.

As the only unmated alpha daughter of Red Moon, Rhia’s future is decided for her. Instead of discovering her fated mate under the coming full moon, she is ordered to form a bond with Jalen, the future alpha of Silver Lake.

Leaving her home, her family, and the life she thought she would have.

Jalen never wanted a forced bond any more than Rhia did. But protecting their packs comes before everything. What neither of them expected was the instant pull between them, a connection that feels far too real to be political.

But if the Moon Goddess had a plan for their bond all along, it may be because the Dark Pack is not finished yet—and their own may be the next target.



“Race you to the rocks?” Rhia points to the little collection of rocks well off the shoreline.

“They are further away than you think,” I try to warn her from experience, but she has already taken off.

As I soon realize, she is not only an excellent fighter but also a very good swimmer. I love it. I am a decent swimmer myself, but it is not exactly my strongest form of movement. At least that is what I am telling myself as I try hard to keep up with Rhia.

I am right behind her, but there is no hiding my labored breathing when we reach the rocks. Unlike me, Rhia is not even a little winded, and I admire her strength. “You’re an amazing athlete. I can’t wait to see what you can do without the necklace,” I grin at her.

“Are you coming in?” As I turn back around, Rhia is already swimming away from the shore.

‘Oooh, well she’s hot!’ Hunter’s voice comes through the mind link.

‘Leave now, or I will end you! This is your future luna!’

His wolf actually gives me a wink before he turns around.

When Ann D. Lang isn’t writing, she can be found with her family and her cats — who treat everyone in the house as their personal servants and are entirely unbothered by deadlines. A lifelong lover of paranormal romance in all its forms, from vampire courts and fae kingdoms to witch covens and wolf pack politics, she has spent years falling in love with other people’s worlds — and one day simply decided to open the doors to a world of her own.

About NO ONE BUT YOU:

My best friend’s brother will never love me back, but when I stumble into danger, he seems determined to protect me, whatever the risk.

 

The last thing I expect when I go hiking in the forest near Destiny Falls is to end up bloody, battered, and left for dead.

 

When the subject of my endless pining–handsome Dr. Max Braddock–insists on caring for me, I wonder if my luck is changing, but it isn’t long before the people behind my attack realize I’m still alive.

 

I can’t afford to be distracted by Max’s soft smiles and gentle touch. Not when someone is hunting me. If we don’t find out who they are and what they want, our blossoming relationship–and our lives–might end all too soon.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.
But she can’t be mad.
Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.
Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.
Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.
He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.
She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.
The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.
He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.
He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.
