A rockstar romance that began with a teenage crush…and led to an unexpected “I do.”

Lewis

I’ve spent years perfecting the art of keeping people at arm’s length. But Olivia, with her angel’s voice and her heart on her sleeve, slips past my defences like they’re made of paper.

She makes me want things I never thought I could have. Love. Commitment. A future. But the price of fame is high, and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to pay it.

Olivia

All I’ve ever wanted is to share my music with the world. But I never imagined I’d get to open for The Brightside, the band I’ve idolised since high school. And I definitely didn’t expect to fall for Lewis, their sexy bassist who once graced my teenage bedroom walls.

One wild night in Vegas, and we wake up hitched. Now I’m torn between my teenage fantasy and the fear of getting my heart broken by a man who’s never had to let anyone in.

Can we turn this accidental marriage into a forever kind of love?

Marrying Olivia is a steamy, opposites-attract rock star romance about a small-town singer and her teenage crush turned accidental husband.

For readers who love watching sparks fly, navigating the challenges of fame, and proving that sometimes, the biggest risks lead to the greatest rewards.

Excerpt

I chuckled, leaning back in my seat. “Some of my thoughts aren’t appropriate for public consumption.”

She raised a brow, intrigued. “Oh? Do tell. You can’t leave a girl hanging like that.”

I shook my head, grinning. “Now where’s the fun in that? I can’t give away all my secrets on the first date.”

“Ah, so you’re a man of mystery.” She propped her chin on her hand, studying me with those keen green eyes. “I do love a good puzzle.”

“Well then, you’re in luck. I’ve been told I’m quite the enigma.” I winked, enjoying our playful back-and-forth.

“Is that so?” She leaned forward, a lock of hair slipping over her shoulder. “Challenge accepted. I’ll have you figured out quicker than a hound dog on a coon trail.”

My heart skipped a beat at the idea of her wanting to unravel me, to know me deeper. “I look forward to it. But I should warn you, I’m not an easy nut to crack.”

“Good thing I’m stubborn then.” Her smile turned sly. “And I reckon I’m pretty darn skilled with my hands, too.”

I nearly choked on my wine at the innuendo, blood rushing south at the thought of her hands on me. “Is that a promise or a threat, Songbird?”

She tilted her head that nickname, curiosity shining in her eyes. I expected her to question it, but instead, a coy smile claimed her lips.

“Guess you’ll just have to stick around and find out, won’t you?” She traced the rim of her glass with a fingertip, her eyes never leaving mine.

Fuck but I was in trouble with this one. The best kind of trouble.

“It’s a date,” he confirmed, his eyes crinkling at the corners. God, he was adorable. And sexy as hell. And interested in me.

Our date. The words sent a giddy thrill through me as we resumed walking. This was really happening. I was going on a date with Lewis.

If only teenage me could see me now…

The giddy combination made me bold.

“One condition though.”

His brow furrowed. “Anything.”

I bit my lip, looking up at him through my lashes. “You let me make it up to you. For this morning.”

His pupils dilated, his fingers tightening on mine. “Yeah?” He rasped, his voice gone gravelly. “And how do you plan on doing that?”

I pushed up on my toes, bringing my mouth to his ear, my breasts brushing his chest. I heard his sharp intake of breath and grinned. “Thought I’d leave that up to your imagination…”

He groaned, his other hand coming to my hip, tugging me flush against him. “Keep that up and we won’t make it to dinner,” he warned darkly.

Marry as agreed or Lose Anne forever.

Excerpt
Copyright 2024 A. Akinosho

“Why are you here?” I ask in the sharpest controlled possible tone; I could proclaim instead of answering he moves closer to me. Instinctively, I move out of his reach in my narrow hallway. We mustn’t touch and we both know that, or at least, I know that.

“I came for you,” he states like it should be obvious as he takes his coat off and throws it onto my coat hanger. Just as I scoff. He must be losing his mind.

“Put your coat back on. You are not welcome here, and you won’t be here long enough to sit,” I say to him as I raised my left hand to my forehead, sighing. My ring catches the light, his eyes darken as he zeroes in on my ring, his jaw stiffens to that predatorial look. I know that look. The last time he had a look like that, the guy that smacked my ass almost had his head cut off. He moved closer and my feet quickened behind my loveseat couch.

“You ran away for almost four years, and you ask me why I’m here?” His voice deepens, giving me a perplexed, furrowed brow like I should know my question sounds stupid. Only it isn’t. He’s the one saying stupid stuff. He moves towards me, and I move back as well.

“I didn’t run away. You rejected and dumped at the altar me.” I raised my voice at him, he didn’t flinch “Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I took the opportunity that was offered to me and went on with my life, like you did. Why do you care where in the world I am?” I state as we continue our non-musical chair dance around the couch. In this moment, I’m glad I arranged my furniture for ease of traffic. I know what happens once he touches me. I wouldn’t be able to resist him, so my best defense is to avoid the slightest contact and keep moving till he leaves.

Blurb

Earning her place among them was the easy part.

Leslie Beckett had been the glue holding her family together since her mother disappeared not long after her birth. As a witch, a dragon shifter, and the only daughter in a household of male dragon shifters, she’d had to train harder. Be the best. She’d always crave the hunt. Yet the innate tug of magic made her feel most alive.

Tyler Jackson followed his sister to Rayner, leaving his career as a police officer on Earth behind. Ditching his ties to his undercover ops position proved more difficult though. So he put those skills to work when granted a spot on the alpha’s elite team. He was nothing if not ruthlessly efficient in his role.

When a ghost from the past shocks the clan, nothing is as it seems. As the guardian of the long awaited prophesy, Leslie plots a way forward. Tyler is a welcome distraction, igniting feelings Leslie is unprepared for. And he can’t get the wickedly talented, pretty princess out of his head.

Meanwhile, the rogue fae quietly claim the minds of loved ones in their own quest for the elusive prophesy. Can Leslie and Tyler’s growing bond prove stronger than the forces of fate uniting against them?

*Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

Excerpt

I peer up at him. “Are benefits still on the table?”

He turns toward me. The pad of his thumb caresses the apple of my cheek. His hand continues to glide across my skin until his fingers thread through my hair. His large palm warms my cheek. “No.”

My stomach falls. It was inevitable this would have to end, but I was hoping it wasn’t tonight.

With his other hand he grips my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “I don’t want benefits. You’re worth more than just benefits. But I’ll take whatever you give me.”

A slow smile spreads over my lips. “Can we go to your house?”

“Absolutely.”

He opens the passenger door and I slide in. While he rounds the hood, I click my seatbelt into place. We’ve had sex before, but the butterflies are fluttering faster this time. Maybe because it’s not a spontaneous, spur of the moment thing. Instead, I have the entire drive to his house to think about it. Trey climbs in and starts his SUV. He glances over at me while reaching his hand over the center console and intertwining his fingers with mine. It’s the simplest gesture, but one that calms my erratic heartbeat.

The short ride to his house is silent, but the way his thumb brushes over the back of my hand says everything I need to know right now. I want Trey.

His neighborhood is a far cry from my tiny apartment complex. Enormous houses with even bigger lawns line the streets. A pang of guilt hits me as this is something I’ll never be able to give Abby. A neighborhood filled with other kids to run around and play with. Or a backyard to build a fort or play kickball in.

As we approach a navy blue split-level house, he turns left and pulls into the sunken attached garage. I yank myself out of my thoughts. No pity parties tonight. There’s only room for one party, and that’s between my legs.

The garage door closes, and we both step out, but before we reach the door to the house, my heels that I never put back on slip from my fingers, dropping to the floor with a clatter. Trey twists around and I throw myself into his arms, slamming my lips to his. Without breaking our connection, he twists us around and cages me against the front fender. A shiver runs down my spine as he threads his fingers through my hair, cupping my head as he deepens the kiss. I wrap my arms around his waist and tug him to me, wanting to feel all of him. A low moan escapes his throat.

He pulls away, but his lips linger on mine. “Did I tell you this is the best friendship I’ve ever had?”

Excerpt

Knowing exactly who it is, my heart starts to beat erratically, and I wonder if it’s normal to feel this way. Maybe she was only being nice when she called me handsome. Did I imagine how she looked at me? What about the way she kept inching closer to me? Or the way she touched me or felt in my arms when we hugged? Or am I so desperate for a woman’s attention that I’m seeing things that aren’t there?

That can’t be the case. I’ve taken my time to enter the dating scene. I did the work. I’m committed to my sobriety because there’s no way I would be with a woman drunk. I have a business, my family and income. This is the best I’ve ever been in my entire adult life, and now I’m prepared to have a woman in my life. I’m sure I’m ready.

Excerpt

“Didn’t we go over this?” I push off until I’m standing to my full height and hold up one finger. “Dinner sounds like a date.” I add a second finger. “Dates lead to relationships.”

“It’s dinner. It’s not like I’m asking for your hand in marriage. Unless that will help my chances. I’ll get on one knee right now.”

“Guess what I think about that?”

“What?”

With my other two fingers still in the air, I add a third. Then I curl my pointer and ring finger to my palm leaving only my middle finger.

A grin curls around his full lips. “That was good. But I don’t speak finger, so you have to give me a good reason why?”

“Because you’re… Trey.”

“That’s not a good reason.”

“You’re not my type.”

“Sexy. Confident. Well-endowed aren’t your type?”

I snort a laugh. “More like cocky and full of himself aren’t my type. Plus, you wear a suit.”

“What’s wrong with the suit?” He runs his hands down the lapels of his jacket.

“Nothing per se, but I just don’t do suits. They’re too…suity. It only adds to the cocky and arrogant thing you got going on.” I wave my hand over his body.

“Well, I can fix that.” Trey stands and removes his suit jacket and drapes it over the backrest of his stool. His fingers dig into the knot of his tie, loosening it. Next, he pops the button at his collar.

“What are you doing?” I ask.

“Taking off the suit.”

“You’re going to strip? Right here, in a full bar?”

“Yup.” He undoes a couple more buttons.

I want to tear my gaze away, but I can’t. Instead, I spit out whatever words I can muster. “Keep your clothes on. No one wants to see you naked.”

Nora smacks my arm, and I jerk my head to face her. From the corner of her mouth she says, “Speak for yourself. I kinda want to see what he’s packing underneath.”

I narrow my gaze at her. She shrugs and slinks away but keeps a close eye on Trey in case he does remove the rest of his clothes. She wouldn’t want to miss that. Hell, right now I don’t want to miss it either.

Trey clears his throat and I twist around to meet his gaze. “So, what’s it going to be? Am I getting naked right here or are we going on a date?

“If you’re doin it to me, I love it.” I capture her soft, plump lips again. She opens her mouth for me, and I deepen the kiss. She starts to grind on my lap, and I cup her butt with both hands.
