Reticent Hawke

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 18:10:45 +0300

Sometimes, I wish I weren't a Hawke...especially because I'm in love with one.

Years of living on the streets taught me one hard lesson...

Don't trust anyone.

People are inherently bad and will do bad things any chance they get.

So, when the Hawkes took me under their wings...

I put up walls so high that no one could ever climb over them.

Most stopped trying.

It was the way I liked it.

Locked away in my own little world.

Protected from anything that could hurt me.

But the very person I try so hard to keep out is the only one I want to let in.

I dream about her touch.

Crave her in a way I have no right to.

She's my best friend's older sister.

No matter what...I have to keep my hands off Angelina...

Because she's a Hawke.

Tainted Saint

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 12:16:11 +0300

He's searching for absolution. She wants her happily ever after.

Solomon Clarke goes by Saint, though he's anything but. After lusting for him from afar, the masquerade party affords me the anonymity to pursue that attraction without worrying about the fall-out of hooking-up with the bouncer from the Hawkeye Club. From the second he lays his eyes and hands on me, I'm helpless to resist him. Even burying myself in a dangerous investigation can't erase the memory of our combustible connection and one night together. The only problem... he has no idea who I am.

Caroline Brooks thinks I don't see her watching me, the way her eyes rake over me with appreciation. But I've noticed, and the party is the perfect opportunity to unleash the desire I've kept reined in for so damn long. It also sets off a series of events no one sees coming. Events that leave those I love hurting because of my failures. While the guilt eats away at my soul, Caroline continues...

Steele Resolve

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 09:16:22 +0300

For one man, power is king. For the other, loyalty reigns.

Mob boss Luca "Steele" Abello isn't just dangerous—he's lethal. A master manipulator, liar, and user, no one should trust a word that comes out of his mouth. Yet, I can't get him out of my head. The time we spent together before I knew his true identity is seared into my brain. His touch. His voice. They haunt my every waking hour and occupy my dreams. So does my guilt. I'm literally sleeping with the enemy and betraying the only family I've ever had. When I come clean, it will be the end of me.

Byron Harris is a distraction I can't afford. I never should have let it go beyond that first night, but I couldn't stay away. Even when I learned who he was, when the only option was to end things, I kept going back, risking his life and mine to continue our indiscretion. The truth of what I am could get us both killed, but being with the man who's such an integral part of the Hawke family...

Stone Sober (A Hawke Family Novel)

Stone Hawke is precisely the kind of man women are warned about—handsome, intelligent, arrogant, and intricately entangled with some dangerous people. I should stay away, but he manages to strip my soul bare with just a look and dominates my thoughts. Bad decisions are in my past. My life is (mostly) on track, even if it is no longer the one to medical school. I can't allow myself to cave to the fierce pull and ardent attraction I feel toward the youngest Hawke.
Nora Eriksson is off-limits, and not just because she's my brother's employee and sister-in-law. Despite the fact she's stripping at The Hawkeye Club, she has an innocent and pure heart. Normally, the only thing that appeals to me about innocence is the opportunity to taint it. But not when it comes to Nora. I can't expose her to the filth permeating my life. There are too many things I can't control, things completely out of my hands. She doesn't deserve any of it, but the power she holds over me is stronger...

Thu, 19 Aug 2021 09:40:33 +0300

A reckoning is coming. Who will survive it?

They call me Reaper.

Killing is what I do best.

Get in. Get out. Leave nothing but bodies behind.

So, it should be a simple favor for an old friend.

Added bonus? I get to wipe some scum off the Earth.

Only it turns out he's just the tip of a huge iceberg of vile behavior.

Other women are trapped in the same sick, sticky web.

And I've followed a thread to New York.

Taking out the men at the top will be easy enough...

As long as the beautiful cop and her hot-heated partner don't get in my way.

But they won't seem to stay in their own lanes.

Nor will the feisty brunette get out of my head.

It's the kind of distraction I can't afford—no matter how good it feels to be buried inside her.

I'll do whatever it takes to complete...
