It was the perfect plan.
Until love ruined everything.
Nic generally thinks no further ahead than the next meal, but even to her this is the perfect plan. Marry her best friend George and they'll both get access to his trust fund.
Okay, there are a few hitches. George's mother hates her for being Latina. She's gay, not straight. Oh, and then there's Klara. The wedding planner.
Klara gives her heart to every woman she meets, so it's no surprise that she harbors a crush on Nic. But her failing business needs this wedding and she can't afford to screw it up. So why can't she keep her hands off the blushing bride?
Money, business, friendship, everyone's got something to lose. But when hearts are on the line, the stakes just can't get any bigger. Or can they?
Morning Glory Milking Farm was just another quick tug - machine operated facility, no different from all the rest. Sure, they had big pharma money and special hands-on amenities the other milking joints couldn't boast, but at the end of the day it was the same old story — cash he didn't actually need in the bank, all for doing what he would have done for free anyway. Get in, get out, get on with his day. At least, that's what he thought.
Rourke doesn't know why he's so drawn to a particular milking tech . . . he doesn't know anything about her, after all. Not what she looks like without a mask concealing her face, not even her name. He only knows he can't stay away.
He wasn't looking for love, but it managed to find him in most unlikely of places, and now he's determined to prove that you can teach an old bull new tricks.
Fall in love all over again with Violet & Rourke's romance . . . from the other side of the milking table.
Benedict has never been anyone's knight in shining armor, but when he finds Rosanna in need of rescue, he can't help but step in.
Benedict
I knew the minute I laid eyes on Rosanna she was the one for me. I also knew there was something fishy about her boyfriend. Helping her kick him to the curb should have been easy. But neither of us anticipated just how much no-good he was up to.
Rosanna
I'ts no fun finding out your boyfriend is cheating. And when he works for your father? Well, it's complicated. The last thing I need is a not-so-teeny-tiny crush on my rescuer.
If Rosanna's not careful she could find herself caught up in a marriage of convenience with her scheming ex-boyfriend. Ben can't let that happen, even if it means coming clean to his family about what he's really been up to all these years.
This story features a hero with something to hide, a heroine with plently to lose and a plan that involves unlikely allies, a bit of cloak and dagger, and a whole lot of luck.
Tropes: He falls first; curvy heroine; fresh scent of pining hero; you called you came; avoiding a marriage of inconvenience; secret lives and troublesome exes.
Bloody decadence...
The definition of marriage: Two people and their silver-haired vampire.
In 1924, Paris is a bastion of sexual freedom, even for shell-shocked Leon Laflamme, the most dramatic blond this side of the Seine. After years of loneliness and secrecy, he's married the clever and sumptuous burlesque dancer Claire. However, Leon truly finds liberation when he meets the stoic, intriguing, and silver-haired Count Matthias, who offers true freedom in his dark gift: immortality.

A sellsword’s bargain.
A burgeoning desire.
A future balanced on the point of a blade.
Sellsword Des is travelling alone in a dry and dusty southern land, after a spectacular bust up with her best friend. She’s running low on coin, so when former client Karina offers her a job leading her caravan’s security through brigand country, it feels like a gift.
Des has done the route before, but she isn’t sure about leading solo. She recommends Karina hire Cap, a rugged old mercenary, to head up the crew. Maybe she’ll even learn a thing or two about how to lead, in between the delightful distraction of Karina’s flirtations and keeping the marauders at bay.
As they head off on their long trip across Rescalin, though, the wheels start to come off Des’s plan. The crew is drinking too much, even on duty, and Cap is dismissive of the dangers she identifies. Des worries she’s made the wrong call by putting Cap as the lead, and Karina is in her ear, wanting her to take over.
As brigands close in, will Des back the merc she put in charge? Or will she take over — and risk the caravan’s safety resting on her blade alone?
If you enjoy badass, sword-wielding women, an Australian-inspired setting, sapphic fantasy, and untrustworthy mercenaries, pick up A Hired Blade today, and join Des on her journey.

I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.
Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.
Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.
When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.
But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.
Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.
He's worried she won't stay. She's worried she will.

When Cecily's past catches up with her, Austin discovers that she's already placed a branding iron on his heart. He wants her to stay. But first he needs to keep her safe . . .

Ian tells no one, privately worrying about what a worst-case scenario would mean for his practice and, more importantly, his assistant, Dr. Alec Tarley.
