Jake had it all: money, women, and great looks. He was happy. Well, he thought he was.Then, a series of women and a ghost from his past made him re-evaluate everything.Why had she come back? Why was she standing in his firm's boardroom with his opposing counsel? And the burning question - why did he give a damn after fifteen years?She had broken his heart all those years ago, and Jake chose to live the life of a bachelor from there on out. Along with his fast-paced career, he maintained a fast-paced social life. It's what worked for him. At least he'd convinced himself it did.The loneliness of his large home the minute the housekeeper clocked-out and the women warming his bed deserted him left him wanting. Could he get what so many of his friends already had: the woman, the family, the house with the white picket fence? Maybe. But just because he desired those things, things he'd sworn off ages ago, doesn't mean they were destined for him.One thing was for sure; with Danica back in town, Jake's life was never going to be the same again...

I stared at the overly large bags that lay by the front entrance with what must have been the world’s largest what the fuck look on my face.

“I’m done, Paxton.”

After his bitter marriage ends, Paxton seeks respite from his loss.  Rediscovering his writing, he never expected to create a piece worthy of reading, nor for two unsuspecting paths to cross in the most unconventional of ways.

Thousands of miles separated them, yet he’d never felt closer to anyone.  Finding out that happiness and love was attainable again was one thing.  But having Alissa - that was something else all together!

When the two finally meet in person, sparks fly. Their chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point.  Their brief love affair ignited the fuse, but Paxton is shocked when his young son fans their fire. His sweet four-year-old boy immediately falls for the loving, meek, demurred woman in Alissa, and she starts to change both their lives. Then, she becomes their salvation - in ways no one could see coming.

It's all about misconceptions...

Burned by his ex-fiancée, Mike Withers traded in his dream of a family and home of his own, complete with the white picket fence, and submersed himself in work. And entertaining the occasional lady.

So, when he relocated to Jacksonville to take over as CEO of Withers International, and be closer to his sister’s family, he never imagined he'd find himself at a crossroads.

Once a player, always a player, right? Wrong! At least, that’s what Mike now has to prove to Nicole Baxter...

Combine Nikki’s games with a problematic mélange of exes, and Mike quickly realizes he’s heading down one of two roads – heartache, or the life he thought he had given up. Ultimately, the choice is his to make.

Maybe his ex wasn't the one? Maybe he'd given up too soon? And maybe happiness lay in the form of a feisty, argumentative, tiny package in a tight skirt - with the ability to turn any argument into foreplay?

Loss, pain, guilt…

The lone survivor of a terrible night, where fate was so unkind, Ben Carpenter has resolved himself to a life of loneliness. After all, love has made him aware of only one thing – overwhelming misery – and he’d never go down that road again.

Submersing himself into running Fairfax and his side gig as a volunteer firefighter, he is shocked when envy suddenly takes hold as his best friend marries the love of his life. But before he can deal with the idea of reopening his heart to love, tragedy strikes again… just not for him.

As secrets of his wife’s betrayal come to light, Ben is faced with a new reality; and an opportunity to heal stares him straight in the face, in the form of Hannah.

Bonded by their similar losses, he begins to wonder…

Is there really such a thing as second chances?

It’s been ten years since he set foot on home soil. Three, since his family and friends were left grieving for a death that never came.

Fighting for one’s country, bearing witness to the atrocities of war has left former Sergeant Theo Lowell as a shell of a broken man.

Now that he’s back, it’s time to make a life for himself. If only he agreed with everyone’s assessment that he was deserving of it. After all, no one but him knew of the sins he’d committed.

Instead of rebuilding himself into a man ready for a family, friendship and happiness, he sets forth to do some rebuilding of another kind. After all, if one deems himself helpless, why not be helpful?

When he knocks on Morgan Smyth’s door, the last thing he expects is that rebuilding what is currently before him would prove to be such a daunting task.

Two hearts—emotional baggage—multiple wars are waged as a home takes shape.

Funny how redemption can be found at the tip of a screwdriver, the head of a hammer, or better yet, when hit by a two-by-four!

A serial killer...

A past that haunts no matter how much the distance...

Which one will strike first?

Eighteen deaths over eight years has left Shane Peters itching to find his mark. The death that started it all ensured his obsession with the murderer who had turned his life into a living hell, leaving him to raise a newborn daughter on his own.

Starting over wasn''t the easiest thing, but Emberlyn Roth had managed by shear grit and the skin of her teeth. It''s too bad one can''t outrun their past.

A protector of the wronged, Shane is torn between his duty as a detective for the Jacksonville PD and a quest to find himself some peace. Red tape binds his capabilities and moonlighting as an investigator for Nightshade Securities has him feeling stretched thin. Late nights on the streets and his sense of duty keeps him from being the father he wants to be. Throw onto his already rickety house of cards, an attraction to the mysterious Emberlyn, the lead he''s got on the murderer he''s been hunting for nearly a decade, and threats his woman is receiving by an unsavory character from her past, and he''s seriously tempted to take Dalton Kipper''s offer to join his team in a permanent basis.

Rules have a place, but when you''re faced with losing the one that means most to you, lines can become blurred. With the fate of his family''s future hanging in the balance, he''s ready to risk it all.

She’d give anything to be what he needs.He wishes she would see what he does when he looks at her.On the eve of a new mission, Dalton Kippers gets the surprise of his life when the cyber angel he’s been in pursuit of, shows up out of nowhere.A threat to his life, Devolin Taylor rushes to Dalton’s rescue to share the information she’d dug up. After all, his accepting the case had been her fault in the first place.Persuaded by Dalton’s implicit trust in her abilities, Devolin joins his taskforce at Nightshade Securities. Only, working in close proximity to the man seems to be a detriment to both their sanity. Anything less than an arm’s length and her brain short-circuits just long enough for trouble to lurk. And when that trouble comes knocking, it might be too late for them to get over their hang-ups and embrace the blistering chemistry they share.

Darkness falls onto the world…

When attacks spread worldwide, Payton knows she’s at the helm of the greatest battle the Fae have ever seen.

Panic reigns, evil is at every turn, and embracing her destiny is the only way.

Meeting the council—on her Scottish ancestral grounds—seems rather self-explanatory, but she soon discovers tradition dictates their decision-making.

With Rafe, his family, Fae friends, witches, and an oracle at her back, will she cave to the old ways, or seek out  new means for her kind?

While unknowns lurk at every turn, threatening to thwart the new Royal in her quest for salvation, it’s clear nothing is certain…and evil may actually prevail if her plans crumble.

Two disappearances...

Lives forever altered...

A witness leads to a manhunt that''ll shape what''s to come.

She disappeared so long ago, but she''d never faded from his mind. Search and Rescue handler Caden Summers loved his life for the most part. He owns a little piece of wildlife heaven on the outskirts of town, has great friends, a side gig with Nightshade Securities and best of all-Renegade-his four-legged search partner and best friend.

Suspected, ridiculed and dismissed. No one can blame Aspen Ridge for resorting to a corner in the middle of nowhere to live her life after her sister''s kidnapping. Her cottage keeps her away from the society that once ostracized her. Her career moonlighting as Penny Sexton helps her keep a pulse on the outside world, becoming the person she always wanted to be. Her only complaint in life is that her past surrounds her everywhere she looks.

Rescued from a suspect retrieval attempt gone wrong, Cade finds himself nursed by a spitfire of a woman who isn''t afraid to wield a weapon in front of his friends-something he''d found oddly attractive-yet a little foolish considering their background.

When past and present collide, submersing him into the longest unsolved manhunt of his career, Cade knows one thing is sure. No one involved with this case will ever be the same again.

All it took was three days with the feisty Amazon for him to make up his mind.

He''d help her find her peace.

Then he''d help himself to a piece. Hopefully, before all hell breaks loose.

A target of obsession...

Women murdered at random...

Can they figure it out before it''s too late?

She enjoyed life''s simple things-caring for her ailing mother, dinner dates with friends, and making the right career moves as a 911 operator. Who cared if Jana Elway didn''t have a man or still lived with her mother and brother? She was happy; that was all that mattered.

One evening, when he finally managed to pull himself from the job at a decent hour, a flirtatious encounter with a stranger leads Brycen Mathews to think there might be more to life than his dog, his immediate family, and his quarter stake in Nightshade Securities Inc.

When his co-worker, Shane Peters, shows up with a case that could use Brycen''s computer expertise, he doesn''t hesitate to jump at the task. His dedication to seeing it to the end is furthered when none other than his newest texting buddy walks through NSI''s doors.

For Brycen, two choices exist-life and happiness or death and misery. One thing is sure: catching a killer is always nasty business.
