I’m the little girl in the pink raincoat from the missing persons poster. The one abducted from outside her home while her twin sister and parents were inside.
Search parties and manhunts scoured the country looking for me, but I’d seemingly vanished into thin air.
Years passed, and eventually, people moved on with their lives.
And like the tattered, missing-persons posters, I faded away.
Only I wasn’t dead, just forgotten.
And while the world moved on, I was held captive in a time capsule of terror for over a decade.
When a kidnapping sees me reunited with my sister, I’m pulled into the protective bubble of the Raven Souls MC and dropped into the arms of the ex-MMA fighter Ambros Deveraux.
Ambros is everything I never knew I needed. With him beside me, I can finally lay the past to rest.
But when a man with a grudge against the MC starts looking for a weakness to exploit, a damaged woman like me becomes a predator’s wet dream.
Now I’m fighting my demons and a monster, but if he thinks damaged means weak, he’s forgetting the one thing I know how to do better than anyone.

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes a morally gray psychological romance where boundaries are temptation, ethics are foreplay, and a dangerously perceptive woman sets her stalker sights on her therapist.
My parents made me see a therapist for stalking.
They thought Dr. Red Mercer would cure me. They assumed he would teach me restraint, discipline, and distance. What they didn’t count on was the way his gaze lingers too long, like he’s undressing the truth instead of treating it. Or how his voice tightens every time I say exactly what I’m thinking.
He says boundaries. I hear an invitation.
He says ethics. I see a man begging not to want me.
I’m not spiraling. I’m precise. I know where he draws the line and exactly how to leap over it.
Red calls my fixation a disorder.
I call it fate already in motion.
This is my version of the sessions.
And no matter how hard he fights it, I’ll strip away his control until Dr. Red Mercer admits what we both know.
He was never meant to resist me.

A thousand years of existence, and I’ve felt nothing.
No spark. No hunger beyond blood. No purpose outside protecting my brothers in the Eternal Sins MC.
A club of monsters pretending we’re just bikers—dragons, lycans, necromancers, warlocks, shifters, and more. Creatures bound together by secrecy and survival. We’ve built something here—a fortress, a family, forged from beings the world would burn if it ever learned the truth.
Then she walks into my bar.
Sloane doesn’t belong in my world. She’s human, fragile, and carrying a weight in her eyes that tells me she’s already survived too much. I should keep my distance, let her live her life untouched by monsters like me.
Instead, my Bloodfire stirs for the first time in centuries.
Wanting her is reckless. Claiming her would be unforgivable. And yet every instinct I have tells me she’s already bound to this world, whether she knows it or not.
When violence comes for her, everything changes. Lines are crossed, laws are broken, and ancient powers take notice.
I’ve spilled blood for my club. I’ve buried enemies without regret. But protecting Sloane means defying forces that don’t forgive, and won’t forget.
Because loving her may cost me my brothers, my freedom…
And the woman she still is.
But protecting Sloane might mean losing her to the monster she’s becoming.

father of her child he claims he didn’t know about. Now he thinks he has every right to take my niece from me, and the only way I can be a part of her
life is to live with the one person who gets under my skin simply by breathing.
He’s crass, arrogant, and completely off-limits. But someone needs to tell that to the butterflies that explode in me every time he turns his
devastating smile in my direction. The heat building between us is more than fiery disdain, and that’s something neither of us are prepared for, but we can’t seem to escape.

Alex “Ghost” Bishop doesn’t let people in. Not after a childhood spent isolated and alone, forced to survive on his own terms. Trust is a weapon that can be turned against you, and love is a distraction he can’t afford. His team is everything. Everyone else is a risk.
So when FBI agent Diana Corbin pushes her way into his operation, he resents every moment of it—even when he can’t stop thinking about her.
Diana learned the hard way that trust is dangerous. The people you believe will protect you can destroy you instead. She’s built her life on proving herself, on never needing anyone, on keeping the world at a careful distance. She doesn’t have time for a man who makes her want things she can’t have.
But when they find each other undercover in an operation neither should be running, something shifts. Working together becomes inevitable. The denial becomes harder to maintain. And the pull between them—electric, indisputable, terrifying—won’t be ignored.
As the mission spirals into danger and their secrets threaten to unravel everything, Alex and Diana discover that sometimes the only person you can trust is the one person you swore you never would. And that love isn’t a weakness—it’s the only thing that might save them.

Natalie Dugan thought starting a cleaning business would bring freedom, not danger. Between caring for her sick mother and juggling new clients, she has no time for romance—until she meets Aaron Marino, a scarred ex-firefighter who makes her question everything.

Readers who enjoy high-stakes and forced proximity romances will devour Burning Vengeance by Tricia T. LaRochelle, a small-town, fireman romantic suspense.
Blurb
When Natalie Dugan trades spreadsheets for scrub brushes, she hopes her new cleaning business will give her independence—and the chance to care for her ailing mother. Love isn’t on her agenda, but everything changes when she meets Aaron Marino, a reclusive ex-firefighter scarred by the blaze that nearly claimed his life.
As a string of suspicious fires threatens their quaint Virginia town, every man in Natalie’s orbit becomes a suspect: her hard-working new boyfriend, her mother’s unfairly maligned partner, her unsettling neighbor, and even Aaron himself. But the closer Natalie gets to Aaron, the harder it is to ignore the spark that refuses to extinguish.
When the truth behind the fires finally ignites, Natalie will have to confront betrayal, vengeance, and danger that hits far too close to home. Survival—and love—depend on whether she can brave the flames of the past … before they consume her.
A headline flashed on the screen of my phone as I was exiting my vehicle.
Authorities investigating a series of fires in the local area, one linked to a commercial public warehouse in eastern Charlottesville. Two men in the hospital due to smoke inhalation. No fatalities. Authorities suspect arson.
“A series. Arson?” I mumbled to myself. I thought about Dr. Clark’s brother-in-law. “What kind of idiot would start afire on purpose? You have to be absolutely nuts to do something like that.”
My jaw clenched thinking about all the casualties, not to mention the men and women who had risked their lives to stop the insanity. It never ceased to amaze me how destructive certain people could be.
I thought about that fire that broke out at my mother’s old neighbor’s gift shop last week. Bea and Nigel were nearing retirement and had just put the place up for sale. They lost all their inventory in that blaze. At least the fire hadn’t injured anyone. Bea had told my mom that she swore she had seen a dark, hooded figure in the woods nearby on the night of the fire. Was the person watching the place? Bea and Nigel were careful people. They didn’t smoke or take unnecessary risks. A late-night call had informed them that their place was now a pile of rubble . . . charred rubble. Baffled didn’t begin to describe it. I hoped they had insurance.
I strolled up the walkway covered in light-and-dark gray pavers toward a porch supported by square pillars and anchored by natural stone accents. The shining sun gleamed against the beveled sidelights as I rang the doorbell and waited. It wasn’t long before footfalls approached, the door swinging open to reveal a tall man donning strawberry-blond hair with a slight curl to it. A trimmed beard of the same shade revealed a few wisps of white that implied Aaron was probably older than I was, but not by much, his face relatively free of wrinkles.
My pulse ramped. Every cell in my body went berserk.
The thin red-and-black flannel shirt Aaron wore did little to hide the robust shoulders of this guy or his pectorals. And I had thought Justin was in shape. His faded jeans hung casually from his hips and toned waistline. White socks covered his feet. His amber eyes emphasized warm honey with a slight slant in a Ryan Gosling sort of way, his lips full, and his overall facial structure rather scrumptious. If this guy wanted to abduct me, I’d have a difficult time putting up a fight. Not really, but man. How many men and women had he rescued in a fire who were swooning over him still?
Zing. I felt it. As though an electrical shock had zapped me.
Suddenly, I wished I had put on makeup. Damn. My hair was back up in a neat ponytail, but my outfit was about as unflattering as it got: bright-orange sneakers and scrubs in pale yellow with a doggy print splattered all over them.
