    Bridget Matawapit is an Indigenous activist, daughter of a Catholic deacon, and foster mother to Kyle, the son of an Ojibway father—the ex-fiancé she kicked to the curb after he chose alcohol over her love. With Adam out on parole and back in Thunder Bay, she is determined to stop him from obtaining custody of Kyle.

    Adam Guimond is a recovering alcoholic and ex-gangbanger newly-paroled. Through counselling, reconnecting with his Ojibway culture and twelve-step meetings while in prison, Adam now understands he’s worthy of the love that frightened him enough to pick up the bottle he’d previously corked. He can’t escape the damage he caused so many others, but he longs to rise like a true warrior in the pursuit of forgiveness and a second chance. There’s nothing he isn’t willing to do to win back his son–and Bridget.

    When an old cell mate’s daughter dies under mysterious circumstances in foster care, Adam begs Bridget to help him uncover the truth. Bound to the plight of the Indigenous children in care, Bridget agrees. But putting herself in contact with Adam threatens to resurrect her long-buried feelings for him, and even worse, she risks losing care of Kyle, by falling for a man who might destroy her faith in love completely this time.

    Four gorgeous college football players changed this art student’s world forever.
    They make me tremble, beg for more—and they inspire my artist’s soul.
    I belong to them now. And I’m never turning back.

    The top five art school sins are:

    1. Stealing someone else’s work
    2. Not having an original idea
    3. Drawing yourself nude
    4. Being attracted to any of the muscular, gorgeous models

    I’m a good girl.
    I’ve always followed the rules, but now, all bets are off.
    But it’s not just about one guy… it’s a whole team of men.
    First there’s Diego, the perfect specimen who models for my art class and puts me under his spell.
    Then Trevor, a Golden Retriever of a man; cuddly and loving.
    Zeke, who is the perfect boyfriend: s*xy, sweet and fits me perfectly.
    And Spencer, the leader of them all—the one who connects with my soul.
    I could never choose between them. Luckily, I don’t have to.
    They share everything from a schedule, to a dorm room to, well, me.
    Can this ever be more than just a fling? Can we take this team to the final touchdown?

    This is a steamy standalone 60,000 word novel with a HEA, and no cheating!

    Beth Lanham is a wild child. Aggressive, outlandish , and forward, she tackles life head on – that is, until a sexy bronco rider throws her for a loop. The moment she meets Scott, she is out to knock his socks off , but instead nearly knocks him out. One heated kiss has him falling head over heels (literally) straight into the arena.

    Scott McDaniels had never seen anyone so full of life and vitality as Beth was. Kissing her was like holding a live wire in his arms. When they touched, sparks flew! Which is why when he’d asked her out, he was shocked that she had ditched him. He was so close to realizing his goals, that maybe being stood up by her was both a blessing and a curse?

    Beth had judged her cowboy based on looks alone , but found that he had so much more to give- if only she’d have bothered to look. Scott finds that behind Beth’s outrageous facade is actually a scared young woman. Could it be that both of them were hiding behind masks of their own making? And that perhaps they were a perfect match after all?

    For so many years, I’d lived under the shadow of death, without love, without letting anyone get close to me. My soul yearned for true love.

    Emily Delon was innocent, far too pure for my demonic soul, but I managed to make her mine anyway.

    But could our love defeat the dark shadows hiding in the future?
