Steamy, hot and spicy - this is an adventure across the stars that will get your heart pumping. This series contains all four books by Morgan Hawke.

• Victorious Star
• Fallen Star
• Lost Star
• Fortunes Star

Start your journey with Victorious Star: In the heart of the Imperial Stars, past and future collide, as ghosts converge in battle for a fortune teller’s soul...on Port Destiny Station.

Luxi Emery was perfectly happy with her position as the receptionist for Armored Media Corp. Then her hidden talent for seeing the future awakened--and exposed a blackmailing con-artist haunted by a malevolent ghost. It was a lose-lose situation, and Luxi had only a single shred of hope.

Her future awaits on Port Destiny Station. A future intertwined with Amun, the handsome diplomatic telepath, and Leto, a ghost-haunted cyborg with very human carnal appetites. If they can resolve a few...intimate...details. Yet a darker future chases Luxi: they are not alone, and Leto is not the only hungry ghost.

Everyone has skeletons in the closet. Mine are just a bit… crazier, than most.

I’ve spent most of my adult life keeping a low profile and flying under the radar. Because my past is better off staying in the past.

Now I’m living my best life in Alexandria with my three besties. We have a new place, new jobs, and for once I’m feeling optimistic where life has taken me.

When I save a sassy older omega from a creeper at a bar, she thanks me by setting me up on a blind date. Though she left out the part about it being with five men. And all it takes is one amazing date to question my usual stance on keeping everyone but my besties at arm’s length.

Of course, just as things seem like they could be perfect, my past comes crashing back in. Now I find myself in a world of mafia men, drugs, and the cult that just won’t let me go.

Can my new pack and I find a way to lay those skeletons to rest? Or will I be forced to be the omega my parents always wanted me to be?

Call girls are meant to fuck the client then go home, not fuck them up, but I never minded getting my hands just a little dirty.

Homeless teen turned prostitute turned elite call girl with some… unusual extracurricular activities was not what I’d set out to become, but survivors can’t be choosers. Now, I’ve got a life for myself, and I even like it most of the time, but a favor owed to my boss/ex-lover is about to mess all of that up.

Her husband’s become a problem, and when the team of men she’s hired can’t seal the deal, I’m brought in for some assistance. What a fucking mess. Especially since the team consists of my favorite client, his brother, my roommate, and my roommate’s boyfriend.

When the shitstorm of my present starts to collide a bit too much with my past, I’ve got to hope my skills are sharp enough to keep me in one piece.

There’s an unexpected danger that’s found me once again, but lucky for me, I’ve always thrived in the darkness.

Queen of Hearts book 1.

Check in to The Wolf Hotel, a luxury hotel chain with smokin' hot bosses and even steamier action between the sheets. This bundle includes all five titles by KA Tucker. 

• Tempt Me
• Break Me
• Teach Me
• Surrender to Me
• Own Me

Start with Tempt Me:

I ran from home to escape heartbreak, only to deliver myself into the hands of a wolf.
Henry Wolf, that is.

Heir to a luxury hotel chain.
Infamous playboy.
Arrogant bastard.
And my new boss.

Why he wants me, Abbi Mitchell—a girl who lacks experience on every front that would matter to him—as his personal assistant, I cannot fathom, especially when I keep screwing up in the most spectacular way.

Did I already mention he’s a bastard?
A beautiful, moody one, who’s quick to demand, slow to apologize.
And toying with me every chance he gets.
Testing me.
Messing with my head in a way that makes my body crave him.
He knows it, and he doesn't hide the fact that he enjoys doing it.
He says he doesn’t want me for more than my mediocre computer skills and color-coding flair.
He says he’s not willing to risk losing his empire for a tangle in the sheets with “the help.”

But I’m beginning to think that’s a big, dirty lie.

Hey,
Over here.
No, look up.
Yeah, I’m the one they talk about. The headmaster’s prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of Notre Dame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.
An urban legend.
The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

Frollo’s secret

Then they showed up, those heartless heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren’t just dangerous, they’re heartless. They won’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

But now that they’ve found me, they may never let me go.
And maybe I wouldn’t want them to…

THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF THE MAZE.

There's no way out of the maze, there is no way out of the maze. No way out of the maze. No way out.

None.

A teacher.

A student.

A scarecrow.

One dangerously lusty Halloween night in a small Ohio town that will never be forgotten.

No Way Out is a horrific romance that is not suitable for readers under 18. Please check content warnings before proceeding, there are many.

When your friend recommends a renowned sex club, the location you find yourself at is not what you expected. The seven-story building in the heart of Edinburgh also hosts a hotel, a restaurant, a casino… Even a nightclub! As you explore in your own time, prepare to meet a plethora of sinful people. Do you want to learn how to play Blackjack, or would you prefer the owner to show you a good time over her private poker table? Are you ravenous for food, or something more in the restaurant? Does the sexy butch who runs the gym really know what she’s doing with a strap-on? (*Spoiler alert, of course she does.) Choose wisely.

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.

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 tale of doom and ambition, loss and revenge, love and murder.

Unwieldy Creatures, a biracial queer, nonbinary retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, follows the story of three beings who all navigate life from the margins: Plum (she/her), a queer biracial Chinese intern at one of the world’s top embryology labs, who runs away from home to openly be with her girlfriend only to be left on her own; Dr. Frank (she/her), a queer biracial Indonesian scientist who compromises everything she claims to love in the name of science and ambition when she sets out to procreate without sperm or egg; and Dr. Frank’s nonbinary creation, painstakingly brought into the world due to complications at birth that result from a cruel twist of revenge, only to be abandoned. Plum struggles to determine the limits of her own ambition when Dr. Frank offers her a chance to assist with her next project. How far will Plum go in the name of scientific advancement and what is she willing to risk?

Castles and kangaroos, together at last!

Leo is a third-born prince forced onto the throne after the death of his parents and brother. His kingdom and castle are in shambles, his family's murderers are getting bolder and he is utterly unprepared to be king, but Leo's biggest problem is definitely the castle fool. It keeps making fun of him.

He just wants to make his dead dad proud. Or maybe to dismantle every shitty policy he ever made, and flip off his grave a whole bunch.

Of course, he might hate his new responsibilities more if there wasn't a mystery man with a bad habit of appearing every now and then to test Leo's morality. Leo doesn't want to be the kind of king who has a secret lover. But his restraint is only so strong...

The assassins are creeping closer and if Leo can't charm the neighbouring countries, it'll mean war. He better learn how to juggle, fast.

Set in a fantasy version of Australia, a cult bent on overthrowing the empire's regime is targeting Leo and his family. This no spice, enemies to lovers LGBTQ+ romantasy features a king overwhelmed by trauma and responsibility taking refuge in his close family and the one person who doesn't expect him to be perfecthis fool.

He’s coming for you.

Death is meant to come on a chariot of broken dreams or in the dark trenches of a storm, not in love letters and gifts.

He did not take my soul when I was meant to die. He did not want it all the other times that I’ve offered it to him on a silver platter. Yet, time and time again, he reminds me that I am his: His night monster, his dark love, his perfect other.

Death was the only thing keeping me alive. He watches me from his corner, taunts me with sweet messages, marks my body with his touch as I sleep.

He took the people that I love away from me. Still, no one believed me when I said that I saw the faceless man on the night of the accident.

No one can escape death.

Me? I’m chasing it.

Roses are red, violets are blue. Hide your heart, little bird. Cupid’s Arrow is coming for you.

Callum is more than the CEO of Cupid Inc., the company that manufactures “love” potions and sells them to mateless supernaturals who want to take “fate” into their own hands. He’s an angel. Literally.

But even the devil came from Heaven.

So it’s just my luck that he also happens to be my boss… Until he discovers that I’m a mole for the organization protesting his company. Suddenly, I find myself as the test bunny for his most potent product yet: Cupid’s Arrow. And my mate-to-be? Callum himself.

Call it vengeance. Call it an insane marketing stunt. Call it fate. Whatever it is…

There’s no escaping Cupid Inc.’s dark angel and his terrifying brand of love.

Don’t go near the pumpkin patch on Halloween night…

Jack Calloway is the pumpkin-headed boogeyman of Hallow Hill. As the legend goes, he was a man of wicked tastes, devilish allure, and had a knack for dark magic. He and his lover—my ancestor—were tried as witches and burned at the stake at the edge of Hallow Hill’s pumpkin patch.

Some say he made a deal with the devil to spare his lover’s soul and haunts the pumpkin patch to this day, waiting for her return.

“Don’t go near the pumpkin patch on Halloween,” they’ve always warned the women in my family. “Jack might get you.”
Too bad I don’t listen because I have to find out the hard way that ghost stories exist for a reason. And in Jack’s flames, I just might become one.

I’ve been naughty… Like, run a car over your abusive ex kind of naughty. But it’s not the police coming to punish me. It’s the Krampus.

It’s the best time of the year in the mountain village I call home, known for its Krampus lore and festive enthusiasm during the holidays.

From the outside looking in, my life is perfect. I live in a winter wonderland, I’m engaged to the town’s beloved “honied ham man” and I run the town’s most precious flower shop.

No one would ever know my fiancé is an abusive psychopath who’s threatened to kill me if I ever try to leave him. It’s a secret I’ve always kept hidden, my burden to bear.

The only person who sees right through the mask I wear is my Christmas tree vendor. He follows me, watches me. He thinks he’s keeping me safe. Too bad my fiancé gets the wrong idea and flies into a jealous rage. This time, I fight back.

Now, I’ve done something bad. To escape justice, I flee to a mountain cabin to drown myself in a bottle of eggnog and spend Christmas alone.

Only I’m not alone. Turns out, the legends are true.

The Krampus is real. And he’s come to punish me for murdering my fiancé.

He’s watching me—the man on my neighbor’s roof. And I think I like it.

My body comes to life under his gaze. All I can think about is the way this man would feel against my skin.

Until our connection snaps and suddenly he’s gone.

In my sleepy neighborhood, everything is exactly how it should be as I settle in on this quiet Halloween.

Then, in the dead of night, he’s here in my home.

Tempting me with his touch, refusing to tell me his name.

Only one night—that’s all he offers. And that’s all I’m willing to give.

When I wake up the next morning, I’m not surprised he’s already gone.

But nothing about the night makes sense, and with no evidence of it ever happening, I’m left questioning everything.

Only One Night is a Halloween novelette. A quick and wild ride meant to get you hot and bothered, then leave you wondering what on earth you just read. Only One Night is a dark, women's fiction, short story that has no HEA. This is not a romance. The story was created for you, the reader, to be able to live out your Halloween fantasies through the pages of this book. The female main character remains nameless and description-less, with minimal details of her life mentioned, so you can envision her any way you choose.

He’s fallen too far to save… but his enemy is going to try.

In a world of warring orcs and men, Kesst of Clan Ash-Kai is a pawn. A pretty, pliant plaything, bound to the cruelest orcs in the realm.

Until the new healer storms in.

He’s huge, hostile, and hideous, with a powerful scarred body and terrifying ancient magic. And it only takes one disastrous meeting before he and Kesst are bitter enemies, and Kesst vows to see the vile brute destroyed…

And then a sudden, deadly attack hurls his helpless body straight at the healer’s feet.

Kesst fully expects to be mocked, belittled, abandoned to his doom — but instead, his new enemy picks him up.
Soothes his wounds.
And carries him home...

Soon Kesst is trapped in a tiny sickroom beneath Orc Mountain, caught in the thrall of the healer’s impossible magic. In the surprising gentleness of his touch. In the strength of his stubborn, seductive safety…

But with his horrid handlers close on their scent, Kesst can’t possibly be falling for his forbidden foe… can he? Can a healer save him from his sins… or destroy him?

Until the deadly orc drops his axe. Draws Gerrard close. And orders him… to run.

In the heat of the moment, caught in the orc’s inexplicable thrall, Gerrard obeys — but the fallout costs him his rank, his position, and his pride. With little left to lose, he decides to hunt down the brazen brute in the forest, and demand a rematch.

But the orc doesn’t want just a rematch.

He wants to court the pretty human lieutenant.
To convert him.
To conquer him…

Orc Mountain.

It’s a grim, deadly fortress, filled with fierce, bloodthirsty beasts — and the first orc Maria meets is the most terrifying of them all. A huge, hostile, hideous brute, hardened by hatred and war, who instantly accuses her of foul trickery, and threatens her with death —

Until she’s snatched to safety by a huge, vicious green beast.

An orc.

He’s utterly terrifying, with his towering bulk, sharp teeth, and deadly black claws — but his touch is gentle, and his eyes are kind. And his scent is a deep, decadent sweetness, sparking a furious flame between them…

But it’s only more disaster, because Alma’s shy, soft-hearted rescuer is already mated… to another orc. A tall, silent, snarling monster named Drafli, who loathes Alma on sight, and clearly longs for her death.

Yet Drafli will do anything for his sweet mate, even if it means tolerating a weak, worthless human. So he makes Alma a cold, calculated offer: he’ll share his mate with her… but only on his terms.

There’s no way out, and now Daisy is stuck in a dark stone prison with a deadly, terrifying stranger. A stranger whose face she can’t see, and who only speaks in a deep, foreign growl.

But... she can understand the softness in his voice. The gentleness of his clawed hands as he comforts her. The strength of his lean body in the dark, tempting her into heated, dizzying dreams…

But then, morning comes. And in the light, Daisy finally sees the orc’s face.

He’s a wraith. A monster. A tall, gaunt, feral fiend, with shadows for eyes, and cryptic black marks scrawled all over his skin.

Her ecstasy.
Her enlightenment…
