They call him the Steele Devil.

The man who turned his father's criminal empire into something almost respectable. Almost. Because the gunrunning never stopped. The bodies never stopped dropping. And the rules never applied to him.

They call me the Hamilton Heiress.

The recovering addict who survived her own destruction. The model turned businesswoman with a smile that hides scars deeper than skin. The daughter of his greatest enemy.

He shouldn't want me. I shouldn't need him. We shouldn't exist.

But Logan Steele doesn't follow rules—he writes them in blood.

And I was written into his story the moment I walked into his club.

Now there's a target on my back, a ring forming in his pocket, and a war brewing in the streets of Atlanta that will leave no one untouched.

The cartel wants me dead. Logan's enemies want me as leverage. My own father wants me silent.

Let them come.

In a world of monsters, I chose the deadliest one.

God help us both.

Releasing October 29, 2026

Austin Sinclair was always my forever. Even before our parents got married.

He was my handsome prince, my future husband, and my happily ever after from the day he arrived in our hometown with his mom, a scared preteen boy running from a bad dad. Those are the facts, and they don’t change just because our parents got married the year he left for college…

From the time I was a kid, football was my escape, my chance to be something better.

Coach Jack Bradford was my idol, the man who could open doors for me.

I never thought seriously about his daughter.

She was the little girl who rode me piggyback and told everyone I was her handsome prince, and we were going to live happily ever after. Every. Single. Day.

It was little-girl make-believe.

Now I’m back home, a football star, a single dad, and a widower.

I’ve achieved everything I set out to accomplish. Being the new head coach at my old high school is icing on the cake. I wanted to be Coach Jack, and on paper, I am.

The only thing missing is love.

But I find something more at home—a girl I can talk to, who knows me better than anyone.

She takes care of my daughter, who loves her instantly. She never stops telling me I’m worthy, I’m good. Then when I see her in that white bikini, I realize she’s right…

She’s not a little girl anymore.

But I’m eight years older than she is. I’m her stepbrother.

I have no right to want her this way.

Until another man tries to take her, and I realize it’s too late.

Kim Bradford is my queen. I claim her, and nothing is going to steal our happily ever after.

(CLAIM is a small-town, single-dad, age-gap, “will they or won’t they” football romance. It’s packed with yearning, angst, found-family, spice, and so much love. No cheating, no cliffhanger, no third act breakup, and a guaranteed HEA.)

But then he meets his teammate’s sister, Ali St. Francis.

Ali’s move to Vancouver to work for her brother’s foundation is her new lease on life. She wants to bury herself in her new job and forget about the mistakes of her past.

When she recruits her brother’s teammates to raise money using their celebrity status, she finds herself engaging the reluctant and enigmatic goalie to participate.

It doesn’t take long for Ali’s sunshine in a bottle to melt the icy veneer of the goalie.

Camden

The day she left town was the day I changed. Maren Holm walked away without so much as a glance back, taking my heart with her. Everything we had talked about, planned for, the life I thought we both wanted together, just vanished, leaving me alone and miserable. That’s when old Camden was replaced with the fun-loving, carefree guy I am today.

Then, out of the blue, she returned.

My new next-door neighbor and I have a past, and it’s one I don’t want to dredge up. The problem is she has a son. The cutest three-year-old boy, who pulls at the strings of my damaged heart and refuses to let go. Together, they make me want…more.

But I just don’t know if I’m capable of giving her my heart a second time.

Maren

Returning to Cooper Town was exactly what I needed. I wanted my son, Theo, to experience all the perks of small-town living. With the help of my dad, I found the perfect location to start over. Except, my new neighbor and I have a history. A very painful one, and even though I knew I’d likely run into him again, I never expected it to be in my own driveway.

Suddenly, my past is standing directly in front of me again.

He’s still angry, not that I blame him. I walked away from him, from the life we both wanted. It wasn’t easy or right, but I had my reasons. Now, being around him is stirring up old feelings, especially when I see him with my son. Their bond is instant, and before I know it, I’m being drawn right back in to the Camden I used to know and love.

Only this time, it’s not just my heart I’m risking, but Theo’s too.

Release Date: August 18, 2026

She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.

Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.

I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.

My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.

Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.

Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.

But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.

I came to Tuscany to escape.

But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

Will

Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.

I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.

By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.

Then I fumble it all by falling for her best friend.

Amanda is strong, stubborn, and raising her daughter alone after her husband’s betrayal.

One kiss becomes something neither of us can ignore.

She wants to keep it secret. I don’t.

Because this time, I’m willing to risk the play. I won’t lose my second chance at love.

Amanda

I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just never planned on doing it alone.

But when my ex got his assistant pregnant, I stopped, waiting for the life I thought I’d have—and choose motherhood for myself.

Now I’m a single mom doing my best to build a quiet, steady life with no drama and no risks.

Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.

Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.

Watching him fight for his daughter only makes falling for him more dangerous.

We tell ourselves it’s just once.

Because if we’re discovered, I could lose my best friend…

And he could lose his daughter all over again.

Falling for me was never part of his playbook.

THE DEAN'S LIST

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 23

Will be Available in Kindle Unlimited

She’s the girl with the perfect GPA and the perfectly planned future.

No distractions.

No scandals.

No mistakes.

By day, she’s a straight-A university student competing for the top spot in her program. The only person standing in her way? The campus enigma—wealthy, wickedly intelligent, and notoriously uninterested in commitment. He’s sharp-tongued, serial-dating, and impossible to read. She’s convinced he’s either hiding something… or hiding from something.

By night, she has a secret.

Behind a mask and a pseudonym, she reads stories online for paying subscribers—never showing her face, never breaking character. It’s anonymous. Safe. Controlled.

Until the night the usual male narrator doesn’t show.

His replacement steps in.

And the voice on the other end of the microphone feels far too familiar.

When a campus blackout forces them into close quarters during a joint presentation, they recognize each other at the same time. Her secret life collides with his—and suddenly everything shifts.

Because what she doesn’t know is that his family owns the platform she works for.

And he’s been working undercover inside his father’s company to expose a trafficking network hiding in plain sight.

Now someone is watching her.

She thinks it’s him.

It isn’t.

The real threat is closer than either of them imagined—someone trusted, someone brilliant, someone who has been studying her far longer than she realized.

As danger tightens around her, the campus bad boy she never trusted may be the only one who can protect her.

But falling for him could cost her everything—her reputation, her future, and the illusion that she was ever in control.

Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?

Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team’s broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.

Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.

It’s the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I’ll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.

We need rules though.

To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.

That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.

When it ends, we walk away.

But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.

Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.

If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.

Coming to Maple Valley was supposed to be temporary.

Work the summer on the orchard.

Keep my head down.

Find answers about the best friend I lost years ago.

Simple.

Until I met my boss.

Asher Thorne is everything I should stay away from--gruff, protective, and impossible to ignore.

He's an MMA fighter chasing his next big win.

A man who's spent his life moving from town to town, never staying long enough for anything or anyone to matter.

The orchard is the only thing anchoring him here.

And he's made one thing clear from the start.

Mixing business with pleasure is a terrible idea.

Too bad avoiding him is impossible.

Not when the way he looks at me makes my pulse trip.

And not when one kiss from him makes me want things I've never wanted before.

Falling for him was never part of the plan.

But the closer I get to the truth about my friend's disappearance, the more Asher insists I stop digging.

Because Maple Valley has secrets.

And someone wants the past to stay buried.

But I came here looking for answers.

I never expected to find the one man who could derail my plans.

Or ruin me completely.

He’s loved her since childhood; one fake date might finally make it real.

I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage.

Now I’m a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy.

I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she’s around.

And she’s all around—living in my house, sharing my space, so close, I can smell her perfume on my clothes.

I’m all grown up, and I’d still do anything for her.

I was 15 when I stood on a hill in my family’s peach orchard with the cutest boy I knew and said I’d marry him on the spot.

Now that boy is a grown man, a hockey star with muscles and dimples and smoldering hazel eyes.

He’s also my new roommate, but I’m not here to fall in love.

Our beloved peach trees are dying, and I’m here to find a cure.

When the town’s rich bully threatens to own our land and me along with it, I kind of snap. I kind of say Maverick’s mine for real.

It’s a lie. We’re only faking, but with every kiss, every touch, every stolen moment, reality starts to blur.

Still, as much as we want to pretend, he’s LA’s hockey champion, and when the semester ends, I’ll have to leave.

That’s reality.

(Flow is a hockey romance with a golden retriever hero, a STEM FMC, childhood friends to lovers, he falls first [and so hard], fake dating, close proximity, roommates to lovers, it’s always been you, hilariously meddling family, and loads of spicy fun.

SPARROW & HAWKE

He shouldn’t touch her.

Nell Fairchild knows how to survive. How to stay quiet, stay invisible, keep the worst parts of herself hidden. She’s good at it.

She’s not good at Darius Hawke.

Her father’s oldest friend. A war photographer with a dangerous past, a talent for disappearing, and eyes that see far too much.

Darius knows better than to want Nell. She’s too young, too vulnerable, and completely off-limits. He’s spent a lifetime navigating war zones, captivity, and the darkest corners of human nature. The last thing he should do is drag his best friend’s daughter into his shadows.

But some lines were made to be crossed.

And when Darius takes a temporary teaching job at Nell’s high school, staying away isn’t an option. She’s everywhere — too close, too tempting, too determined to draw him out of the darkness. And the more he resists, the hotter the tension between them burns.

If they give in, there’s no coming back.

*****

Sparrow & Hawke is a slow-burn, high-heat romance filled with forbidden desire, forced proximity, and a love so wrong it might ruin them both.

Cade

When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.

So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.

To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.

The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.

Oaklee

Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.

Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.

Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.

Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.
