One reckless night... and four words that changed everything. I'd spent my entire life avoiding one thing—commitment.

It was the one place I knew I couldn't fail. Then Daisy Parker broke every rule I'd ever made. She was sweet, beautiful, completely off-limits... and the one temptation I couldn't resist. One business trip. One unforgettable night. We promised each other it would never happen again. That we'd go back to being nothing more than boss and employee. Then Daisy looked at me and spoke four words I never saw coming: I'm having your baby. In an instant, every certainty I'd clung to came crashing down. I had to decide whether to keep running from the future I'd always feared... or risk everything for the woman who had quietly stolen my heart long before either of us admitted the truth.

I built The Players Club to run by my rules—until one woman made me question every one of them. As the new owner of The Players Club, I've built my reputation on control, discipline, and keeping my personal life separate from business. After being burned in the past, I've learned not to mix emotions with pleasure. Everything in my world works better when expectations are clear and attachments are off the table. That plan works perfectly…until I hire interior designer Stephanie Randall to help redesign the club's private fantasy suites. She's curious, intelligent, and the more time we spend working together, the more I realize she's quietly challenging every carefully built wall I've relied on for years. She sees something in me I've tried hard to keep hidden—and suddenly keeping my distance becomes the one rule I can't seem to follow. Now the one woman I should never want is the only one I can't stop thinking about. Stephanie makes me believe that even a man who lives by strict rules might deserve a future built on trust, passion, and love.

She'd always been my best friend... but she'd secretly become the love of my life. I'd spent years convincing myself that some lines were never meant to be crossed. Serena Fields wasn't just my best friend. She was my constant. The one person who had stood beside me through every triumph and every heartbreak, never caring about my wealth or my last name. Losing her wasn't a risk I was willing to take, so I buried my feelings where they belonged. Then one unforgettable night changed everything. One kiss shattered years of carefully drawn boundaries, and suddenly pretending I didn't want her became impossible. The more time we spent exploring the passion we'd both denied for so long, the more I realized friendship was never going to be enough. Walking away meant keeping the one thing I'd always treasured. Taking a chance meant risking the only woman who had ever truly known my heart. For the first time in my life, I had to decide whether protecting our friendship was worth losing the love we'd been searching for all along.

She asked me to be her pretend boyfriend... and I forgot it was all supposed to be an act. I'd learned the hard way that happily ever afters didn't exist. The woman I'd planned to marry walked away from me without a second glance, and I swore I'd never make the mistake of giving another woman my heart. Casual. Temporary. No strings attached. Those were the only rules I lived by. Then Peyton Bishop asked me to be the boyfriend she'd invented. One little lie had convinced her overprotective parents she was safe living in New York. Now they wanted to meet the man she'd been talking about for the past year. Playing the role of her devoted boyfriend for a week sounded easy enough... until every kiss, every touch, and every stolen moment started to feel real and walking away no longer felt like an option. Somewhere between the lies and the longing, I stopped pretending. Now I had to decide whether to keep protecting the heart I'd already lost once... or risk everything for the one woman who'd believed in us before we'd even begun.

So, the hot, dirty fantasies he's having about his best friend's off-limits sister—the one who keeps stealing his clients and seems immune to his charms—are driving him nuts. Which might explain why he proposed the bet that took such an unexpectedly sexy turn…  Natalie Prescott has worked hard to become the best realtor in the business, and she's not about to let a little thing like losing a bet to Wes get her down. She can definitely control herself for the next two weeks without doing anything dumb…like falling for the ultimate bad boy... FAKING IT Fake engagements only work if both parties remember they're supposed to be faking it… Damsels in distress don't interest Max Sterling. But that didn't stop him from posing as his gorgeous client's fiancé when she needed him. Having a fake girlfriend might keep his momma off his back about his bachelor status, too. It was a win-win. Until he started developing very real feelings and ruined everything… Hailey Ellison had her reasons for creating an imaginary fiancé. But she never expected her hot realtor to rescue her when the ruse was about to be exposed. She never thought a man like him could want a curvy girl like her, either. So, imagine her surprise when he seemed more than willing to reap the sexy benefits of their pretend engagement… WELL BUILT He's a sexy, well-built lover, not a fighter. But he'll make an exception for her… Kyle Coleman left his small hometown years ago and had zero desire to return. But his plans to build a business for his mother forced his hand.

He had no way of knowing, however, that he'd want her now even more than ever… Ella Fisher had almost forgotten how much she missed Kyle. Until he showed up, hot as ever, to steal the building she wanted for her family business right out from under her. Now all she could think about was how much they'd lost…and how much more she wanted.       ROCK SOLID He's a rock-solid relationship guy. No one-night stands. Except that one.  Connor Prescott had the most intense night of his life in a snowed-in airport with a total stranger. When he woke up the next day, he wanted more. He wanted everything. Too bad she'd bailed and hadn't even left him her last name. He'd left something with her, though. He just didn't know it yet… To say Katie Kaswell had a pitiful romantic history would be an understatement. So, while she enjoyed their night together (really enjoyed it…multiple times), she didn't want a relationship. Then she found out she was pregnant. With no way of contacting the father. Ooops… When fate brings them together again, Connor is thrilled. Not only does he get a second chance with Katie, but he's also the father of the most gorgeous little girl in the world? It was perfect. All he has to do now is convince gun-shy Katie that he's in this for the happily ever after. Easy, right?

All 3 full-length Some Like it Hot (the complete series) are now available in a box set! HOT AND SEXYJoelle Sommers is very good at her job as a PI and bail recovery agent, but she's definitely out of her element when she arrests sexy businessman Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity. Because unlike her usual fugitives, Dean is cooperative, accommodating, and hot as sin . . . and not at all guilty as charged. But this bad boy isn't so innocent either, and she finds it increasingly hard to resist his seductive charm, and their mutual attraction. HOT AND HEAVYPrim and proper secretary Melodie Turner has been in lust for her boss for years . . . and she's finally going to do something about it.

Noah Sommers has always wanted Natalie Hastings. When a car accident leaves her with short-term memory loss, he doesn't hesitate to take her in, along with protecting her when he learns she's acquired a stalker.

A debt repaid . . . in the form of her surrender. I had spent my entire life building an empire for one purpose—to destroy the man who had stolen everything from me. Power. Wealth. Control. Every ruthless decision I made brought me one step closer to revenge against the man responsible for my parents' deaths. I thought I had accounted for every possibility. I never expected his daughter to walk through my door and offer herself in payment for her father's debt. Arabella Cole should have been nothing more than another weapon in my war. Instead, she became my greatest weakness. She came to me expecting a monster. Instead, she saw the man buried beneath my scars. Her quiet strength and fierce heart shattered the walls I'd spent years building, while the undeniable desire between us threatened to destroy everything I'd worked for. In the end, I had to choose between the revenge that had consumed my life... or the only woman who had ever made me believe I could be more than a beast.

Sometimes the rules you agree to follow are the ones that change your life forever. If you'd asked me a year ago where my life would be, becoming an escort wouldn't have been anywhere on the list. But when I lose my job and find myself buried under debt that isn't even mine, I need a solution—and fast. Spending an evening as someone's companion seems like a simple way to get back on my feet. What I don't expect is meeting Rick Dunne, a confident, magnetic man who sees more in me than just a woman trying to survive a difficult situation. When he asks me to accompany him on a week-long business trip under a set of clearly defined rules, it sounds like the opportunity I need to finally regain control of my life. But the closer we grow, the harder it becomes to believe that what's happening between us is only temporary. Some arrangements are meant to stay simple—but falling for Rick was never part of the plan. Now I need to decide if I'm brave enough to believe in the future he's offering.

She has him just where she wants him...Joelle Sommers is very good at her job as a PI and bail recovery agent, but she's definitely out of her element when she arrests sexy businessman Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity. Because unlike her usual fugitives, Dean is cooperative, accommodating, and hot as sin . . . and not at all guilty as charged.  But this bad boy isn't so innocent either, and she finds it increasingly hard to resist his seductive charm, and their mutual attraction.  After years of working himself to the point of having no life outside the office, Dean Colter is in the mood for an adventure. But being kidnapped by a gorgeous bounty hunter—one he discovers is into bondage, to boot—isn't exactly what he had in mind. Still, it doesn't take long for him to realize that being a willing captive has its advantages. Jo might be the one with the handcuffs, but Dean's about to discover the key to unleashing the passionate, uninhibited woman beneath the tough, stubborn facade.  And when he does, all bets are off.

She was everything I could never have... and the one woman I couldn't walk away from. I had spent my entire life fighting for everything I had. Nothing had ever been handed to me. I clawed my way out of a past filled with abandonment, heartbreak, and hard lessons, determined to build a life no one could ever take away. Work was the one thing I trusted, and I never mixed business with pleasure. Then Tempest Wilder hired me to help her create her newest venture, a boutique hotel with seductively themed rooms. She was beautiful, ambitious, and completely out of my league. As the daughter of one of the most powerful families in the city, she lived in a world I didn't belong in. But the more time we spent together bringing her dream to life, the harder it became to ignore the chemistry simmering between us... or the way she made me want things I'd long ago convinced myself I didn't deserve. Loving Tempest meant risking far more than my heart. I had to decide whether to keep believing the lies my past had taught me... or take a chance on the only woman who had ever made me believe that even a man like me was worthy of his own happily ever after.

He swore he wouldn't touch her, but she's about to test his restraint. Prim and proper secretary Melodie Turner has been in lust for her boss for years . . . and she's finally going to do something about it.  P.I. Cole Sommers might be able to barely resist her sexy new attitude and flirtatious behavior, but when she takes a cue from his current case and decides to seduce Cole's mind with highly provocative letters, she knows his body won't be very far behind . . .Cole is definitely in over his head.  He's got more cases than he can handle, but all he can think about is taking his secretary to bed, turning her over his knee, and showing her what happens to naughty girls who don't behave. At every turn, Melodie is there, taunting him, teasing him, making him burn with a deep, undeniable need.  But Cole promised her father that he'd protect her—even from himself—which means she's off-limits. Only he hadn't counted on being the target of Melodie's irresistible sensual assaults.  Nor had he planned to lose his hardened heart in the battle . . .

A sinful collection of three full-length contemporary fairy-tale novels featuring Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Lady and the Tramp themes. SINFUL SURRENDER (Beauty and the Beast)I had spent my entire life building an empire for one purpose—to destroy the man responsible for my parents' deaths. I thought I'd accounted for every possibility until his daughter walked through my door and offered herself in payment for her father's debt. Arabella Cole should have been nothing more than another weapon in my war, but instead she became my greatest weakness. She came to me expecting a monster, yet somehow saw the man beneath my scars, shattering the walls I'd spent years building while the undeniable desire between us threatened everything I'd worked for. In the end, I had to choose between the revenge that had consumed my life... or the only woman who had ever made me believe I could be more than a beast. SINFUL PLEASURES (Cinderella)I had buried my heart alongside the people I'd loved most, convinced that fairy tales and happily ever afters were nothing more than empty promises. Then one unforgettable night at the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball changed everything. Elaina "e;Elle"e; Darien awakened feelings I'd thought were lost forever, only to disappear by morning, leaving behind a single crystal-adorned shoe... and a woman I couldn't stop searching for. But finding Elle was only the beginning. The more I uncovered about the burdens she'd been carrying, the more determined I became to prove she didn't have to fight them alone—even if convincing her to trust me was the greatest challenge of all. SINFUL PROPOSITION (Lady and the Tramp)I had spent my entire life fighting for everything I had, determined to leave my troubled past behind and never let anyone get close enough to break me again. Then Tempest Wilder hired me to build her dream—a boutique hotel with seductively themed rooms—and the beautiful, ambitious heiress became the one temptation I couldn't resist. The more time we spent together, the harder it became to ignore the explosive chemistry between us... or the way she made me believe I deserved more than the life I'd settled for. But loving Tempest meant risking everything, and I had to decide whether to keep letting my past define me... or fight for the only woman who had ever made me believe in happily ever after.

One unforgettable night... and a woman who changed everything. I had buried my heart alongside the people I'd loved most. After losing my parents and my fiancée, I stopped believing in fairy tales, soulmates, and happily ever afters. Work became my refuge, and I convinced myself that was enough. Then I met a breathtaking stranger at the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball. For one perfect night, Elaina "e;Elle"e; Darien made me forget my grief. She challenged me, tempted me, and awakened feelings I'd thought were gone forever. But by morning, she had disappeared without a word, leaving behind nothing but a single crystal-adorned shoe... and an obsession I couldn't ignore. Finding Elle was only the beginning. The more I uncovered about the burdens she'd been carrying, the more determined I became to stand beside her. But Elle had spent her entire life fighting her own battles, and convincing her she didn't have to face them alone might prove harder than finding the woman who'd vanished into the night.

One invitation. Two irresistible men. One night that changes everything. When I finally receive an invitation to The Players Club, I'm ready for a night of excitement and escape from my carefully structured life.

From the moment our eyes meet, I know the night will be unforgettable. What I don't expect is Rick Dunne—Declan's stepbrother—who walks into the room with the same quiet strength and undeniable presence. While Declan awakens my sense of adventure, Rick's steady, protective nature makes me feel safe in a way I never anticipated. Together they challenge everything I thought I wanted, showing me that connection, trust, and loyalty can come in unexpected forms.

I never stopped loving the one woman I could never have. Some first loves fade with time. Mine never did. The day I lost Raevynn Walsh, I lost the future we'd dreamed of together. While she became one of the biggest pop stars in the world, I built a life of my own, convincing myself the past was exactly where it belonged. Then one invitation to the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball brought her back into my life... and reminded me that some feelings never die. Behind the fame, the fortune, and the perfect public image was the same woman I'd fallen in love with years before. Every stolen moment together reignited the passion we'd been forced to leave behind, while the painful truths we'd never shared unraveled the lies that had kept us apart. This time, walking away wasn't an option. I had to convince Raevynn she deserved more than the gilded cage she'd been trapped inside... and that the only dream worth chasing was the one we could finally have together.

For a reported "e;recluse"e;, he was surprisingly charming, intelligent, and had a rapier wit that matched my own.
