The only thing more dangerous than a hidden enemy… is one who steps into the light. She knows the name now.
When the architect of everything finally walked through Andi’s door wearing the face of a solution, Andi smiled and offered coffee.
Now the machine is cornered. Cornered machines don’t retreat. They escalate.”
The rules have changed. Witnesses disappear. People close to them are targeted — not as warnings, but as eliminations. The threat no longer stays hidden. It reaches into the places they once believed were safe. The gym. The house. The refuge Andi built for kids who had nowhere else to go.
She’s been afraid before. She knows how to do afraid.
But the truth buried in Andi’s past will change the fight entirely — because it didn’t start where she thought it did.
Luke Woods has one fight left before the title.
Andi Morgan has one chance to burn the machine down.

Surviving was easy. Trusting the man who’s been watching over her all along — that’s the hard part.
Serena has survived worse than bad men and broken promises. When danger comes for her and her daughter, survival is no longer something she can manage on her own.
Enzo Lombardi is a made man. Power, loyalty, and violence built his world, and once he decides Serena is worth protecting, there is no walking away. What begins as safety quickly turns into temptation neither of them can ignore, along with a connection Enzo has been quietly cultivating for far longer than she realizes.
In Enzo’s world, threats are answered with blood and loyalty is absolute. Loving him means stepping into the shadows and trusting that he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Tailored for You is a romantic suspense, mafia romance, with an HEA.
Exhausted—both mentally and physically—he could barely put one foot in front of the other. Tired to the bone due to a never-ending war. He was desperate to find a new every day that didn’t revolve around getting shot at by kids that could barely hold a rifle steady. War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.
But then he sees her, also at her lowest of lows, for the first time, and his soul latches on. Bernice, his salvation.
He’s convinced that she’s the answer to his woes, and he develops an unhealthy attachment to her that carries over to his civilian life. For five years, he watches her. Protects her. Keeps her safe when she won’t protect herself. Hux follows her every move and hides in the shadows so she’ll never see.
Then she shows up in his town, and all bets are off.
She’s in his town now. That means his rules. His way. And no more highway.
She’s stuck, and she’ll never know it until it’s too late for her to run.

Someone has been running an operation against Andi Morgan since she was fifteen years old. She just didn’t know it until now.
With Luke in Las Vegas training for the most important fight of his career, Andi is alone in Atlanta — and the campaign against everything she’s built is accelerating. The pressure is institutional, precise, and coordinated in a way that goes beyond anything Jackson Rhoades could have engineered alone. The board. The audit. The donors who suddenly have concerns. Someone with thirty years of practice is running this playbook, and they know exactly how she thinks.
The closer she gets to the source, the more the people around her become part of the game.
The man she loves makes a critical decision about their life without her — one designed to protect her, using the exact tactic she’s spent her life fighting against. The distance between them becomes something neither of them knows how to close. And when a piece of documentation surfaces that connects everything she’s survived to a name she doesn’t recognize yet, the fight moves somewhere neither of them was prepared for.
Some operations don’t stop when the first threat is neutralized. This one has been running since before she can remember.
Go down swinging.

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.

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.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.

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. When a series of suspicious fires spreads through their Virginia town, suspicion falls on every man around her, leaving Natalie to unravel a deadly mystery before vengeance consumes them all. Readers who enjoy high-stakes and forced proximity romances will devour Burning Vengeance by Tricia T. LaRochelle, a small-town, fireman romantic suspense.
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.
Yaz and I were the new owners of cockapoos. Daisy was my baby, and Sadie was Yaz’s. We adopted the two sisters six months ago, when we had both decided to try our hand at pet parenting. And we were smitten. Our little spitfires kept us busy.
Embracing the doggy craze, I’d bought pj’s with images of dogs adorning them, tote bags, and throws of the same type of pattern, and of course, the scrubs. Hell, I even had stemless wine glasses with doggy prints etched into the glass—a gift from Mom last Christmas. She doted on Daisy more than I did.
“You the cleaning lady?”
Aaron’s voice brought me back to the moment.
I do have a name.
Other than his gaze lingering on my outfit for a millisecond longer than normal, Aaron never really looked at me as he spoke. He stayed focused on the area behind me, mostly. He also kept lightly scratching at his beard, like someone would do when they were either anxious or prone to such habits.
Handsome or not, I kept my mind on high alert as I watched for signs of crazy from this guy. One hand remained in my pocket, gripping my pepper spray.
“Yes, I’m Natalie. Natalie Dugan.” I reached my free hand out, and he shook it, quickly releasing his grip.
Here’s one with a sense of danger:
Daisy wandered the backyard by the fence bordering Alan’s property. I hated it when she did that, but it was late, and what difference did it make? As long as she did her business in a timely fashion, I was fine.
“Okay, go potty, Daisy.” Not sure why I had to ask her this. I hoped certain words and phrases would register. During the day, I had taught her to ring a potty-training bell that hung from both the front and back doors of the house. She and I were a work in progress.
I wrapped my jacket around my waist and wiggled my legs for warmth. “Hurry up, Daisy. Go potty, so we can get back to bed.”
While the little pup sniffed the ground along the fence line, I waited, my gaze wandering the surrounding area, especially the pitchy woods growing thick out back.
I loved the privacy, but couldn’t help but wonder what animals lurked. Especially on a night like this one, when the moon was hiding behind a dense layer of clouds, the darkness so thick, I could barely see my dog.
You forgot to turn on the outside light, genius. Oh, well, this won’t take long.
Movement cut through my thoughts, my senses on guard. If a raccoon or a fox came bounding over the fence, I was ready to grab Daisy and whisk her inside.
A shadow appeared on the other side of the fence. Alan? Oh, shit. What was he doing out here at this hour? My heart slammed against my ribcage, and I lost my breath. What was it about this dude? He’d been harmless so far. Rude, but otherwise benign. Maybe it was those gas cans? His uncanny resemblance to the man in that Netflix show? Or just a sixth sense?
“D-Daisy, w-we gotta go,” I whisper-yelled.
At this point, she was in full squat mode, doing her business.
The shadow moved closer as my body trembled and my lungs strained to accept any semblance of oxygen. I wanted to run, but I stood paralyzed.
The shadow lifted something large. A flick of a lighter followed. All at once, a dragon-sized ball of fire illuminated the night.
All went dark. Alan moved closer. The fire ignited again, and I could see flames escaping Alan’s mouth. It was like something out of a circus. The heat flushed my cheeks with its warmth.
Daisy, having finished, backed away from the fence and barked at the wild display.
In an instant, I could see Alan clearly, until the firebomb extinguished, and darkness returned.
Alan lifted the bottle and spat more flames. His head turned slightly, his gaze meeting mine.
Holy shit. What if he spat his flames over here?
