Author: Andie Bale
Brooke Baxter is living it up in the city of Chicago, not looking for love, but definitely open to it. Meeting her best friend’s nemesis throws her for a loop. She wants to stay loyal to the friendship, but she also wants to explore her attraction to the man she’s banned from speaking to.


Ridge Montgomery is done with women, at least for now. Meeting his employee’s best friend changes his mind. The inexplicable connection he feels with Brooke doesn’t make any sense. Relationship hopping is not his thing, yet here he is. Taking a risk has never felt this good.

Miranda Bryant is not looking for a permanent relationship, and she already knows that kids are not in her future. She is happy to spend her free time with her cat and hang out with her friends.

Emmy Pitt is an almost four-year-old little girl who just wants a cat. And a mommy.

 

Lexi Connors is the perfect socialite on the Chicago scene. Until she’s not. Her first priority now needs to be finding ways to support herself, and definitely not how to fall in love with her ex’s best friend.


Marco Cavalli has been in love with Lexi ever since he first laid eyes on her. Unfortunately, his best friend got to her first. When life throws Lexi in his path, one thing is for certain. She will be his. Forever.

 
Maci Roberts is trying to forge her own path away from the only support system she’s ever known, her family. She recently graduated college, she’s a freelance writer, and now she just scored a very well paid job as a nanny. The only thing she wishes she could forget about is meeting the guy who blew her mind on her very last spring break as a college student.

 

Damian Stone is a well-respected attorney whose life is fairly simple. Until a trip to the beach turns his entire existence upside down. Meeting Maci is the best and also the worst thing that could’ve happened to him. What he thought was a very well thought-out plan ends up being a life choice he never expected to have to make.
***This story has heart, humor and lots of heat that’s intended for readers who are 18 or older***

 

 

Andie Bale lives in Ann Arbor (Go Blue!), Michigan, with her husband, daughter and awesome four-legged baby. Her love of reading started at a young age when sneaking her mother’s romance books to read was the highlight of her day.

Hey! My name is Sarah Brianne and after living for twenty-two years the characters in my head told me enough was enough and I have finally put pen to paper (or is it finger to keyboard?) to tell their stories. Since I was a little girl I have watched every chick flick I could get my hands on, then when I became older I discovered a whole new world of romance novels. To me there is nothing better then a tale of true love and those are the stories that have inspired me to write. Like everything else in my life I have put my own spin on two lovers destined to be together.
 

Jamie Begley – “I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

​Taking after my mother, I’ve always loved to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children, my daughter is also an author, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”

Parker

 

Of all the hot guys in the club, of course I find myself tangled up with a baseball player. Our chemistry is out of the park, igniting as his athletic body moves next to mine.
I know exactly who he is, but the infamous Holden Bailey has no idea who I am, or my connection to the team. I prefer it that way. I give in to one dance with Holden and send him home alone.
He can have any woman he wants, but for some reason, he wants me. His pursuit is relentless. He wrote the playbook on being a player, though. Giving in could cost me my heart.
Holden
I thought getting traded to the Blaze was life changing, but it’s nothing compared to meeting Parker Monroe. From the moment she bumps into me on the crowded dance floor, I can’t tear my eyes away.
She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and definitely not interested. At least not in the player the media portrays me to be. I need to convince her that with her, I’m authentic, and what we have is the real thing. Game on.
When the truth gets twisted, it looks like I’m playing her. But she has it all wrong. The way I feel about Parker is beyond the play. She’s my end game.

From shadow, I was born and from shadow, I will rise …
They took my angel from me.
She’s gone and I have to live every single day knowing she died and I couldn’t save her.
Stefanie was my first love. The girl that understood my darkness and balanced it with her light.
Her ghost is everywhere I look. Her last breath carved into my heart leaving nothing but a jagged scar.

The dry desert air was cooler now that night had fallen across the Great Basin. A shy moon peeked behind layers of filmy gray clouds. Stars twinkled overhead, and I caught the last of the plum-colored rays as they sank below the horizon.

This was Stefanie’s favorite time of the day, or it was when I arrived at her grave.

Twilight.

The same sort of sky where I watched her dance in the fading light and when I knew without a doubt that I loved her, would trade my life for hers, and nothing would stop me from making her mine. A night when the possibility of a future had seemed so promising and the slightest touch of her fingers brushing across my own blossomed hope in my heart. We had our first kiss under similar stars, and when her head rested on my shoulder, I’d never felt more complete.

We shared an ice cream cone that night, and I licked a creamy drop off the side of her sweet mouth. I pledged my soul to her in silence, handing over my heart because no other girl was ever going to mean as much to me as my pretty pageant girl.

Staring down at her grave, I blew out a breath, nodding my head once before I spun on my heel and headed back to my bike. The engine rumbled as I left the cemetery and rolled down the road with only one destination in mind.

My focus was singular. I paid no attention to the landmarks, the quiet roads, or the cool temperature of the breeze as it whispered across my skin, begging me to turn around and choose a different path.

It wasn’t possible.

When Stefanie was murdered, my choice was made.

The only thing left was the rage. It blocked out the pain. The sorrow. The guilt.

The flame from my lighter flickered in the careless wind as I started my smoke, inhaling the nicotine into my lungs as my lips lifted into the briefest of smiles.

Vindication. Vengeance. An eye for an eye.

None of those words was any comparison.

I wasn’t justice or revenge tonight.

I was death. And there would be no mercy.

If my club knew my plans and the ruthless brutality that I would carry them out, no one would have let me outside the gates of the compound. Wars were started by the kind of vigilante shit I was doing tonight, but I didn’t give a fuck. Let every asshole who thought he could take me on give it a try. I wasn’t just a crippled boy with everything to lose. Now I was an arrogant, vengeful motherfucker who didn’t have a damn thing holding him back.

That was difficult for some people to comprehend.

It took a particular type of personality to truly embrace a give zero shits and hold nothing back kind of attitude. For me, it was fueled by Stefanie’s loss, but if I was honest, that wasn’t the root cause. I’d been born different. I wasn’t normal, and I knew it from a young age.

When I saw the shadows, heard the whispers, and then learned of the roars, I knew my purpose was tainted. What kind of psychotic kid spoke to the darkness and loved it? Who chose to friend the nightmares from the closet and under the bed? Only a kid born from the shadows. That was exactly who I had become.

It only took a tragedy to unfurl the beast inside completely.

The shadows were my home now, a refuge to plan my ultimate revenge, and that was exactly what I had done over the last four months. I’d plotted and researched and planned. Aching from the pain and torment of losing the girl I loved, I let that fester into something wild and deadly. Now that my contact and I had met several times and exchanged critical Intel, I was ready to strike.

Oh, they would never see me coming. They had no idea.

From shadow, I was born, and from shadow, I would rise. But oh, how glorious, how beautiful, how saturated in blood would that road to hell be paved upon.

Maniacal laughter bubbled up and out of my chest.

Perhaps I truly lost my mind.

I didn’t care.

The first visit from the ghost of Christmas was coming tonight, and how perfectly twisted and merciless it would become.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in  Oregon,where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.
