Sure, he's hot and sexy but he comes from Collinsville and that is definitely not on her list of prerequisites. Everything about him makes Payton's heart speed. He's exciting and dangerous but his fast car and chance taking aren't what scares Payton the most. It's the way Nick Hawke makes her feel every time he looks at her. Can Payton find the courage to leave the safe, shallow end of love and risk going under completely?

I'm a doctor. Mobster. Killer. My hands are covered in filth. I don't have the right to touch anything as clean and pure as Ellison MacAllister. I distance myself ... always remaining obscure, composed, restrained. Careful to never allow my eyes to linger too long. Careful to hide my interest. Careful to keep my burning desire buried beneath the surface. I do it for her-suffer in silence-because it's what is best for the woman I love. And she has no idea. She'll be initiated as a Fellowship member soon. One of my mafia brothers will go through endurance so he'll earn the right to claim her. Make her his wife. Kill. Me. Slowly. I'm running out of time. Only a month remains before she's beyond my reach forever. I want to taste her. Share sleepless nights. Ride out her storm. I want to give her the kind of nights she will still feel between her legs the next morning. I want us to share the kind of passion that forms on our skin and drips down to saturate the sheets. Between the sweat and the moans and the messy hair, I want her to know how hard she's been loved. To have her is to taint her. I should stay away. But I won't. I can't. I'm a selfish bastard. A selfish bastard in love. ***Intended for readers ages 18+ due to sexual content, adult situations, and language. Endurance is a STANDALONE novel.

The Sin Trilogy Book 2

The Soul Always Remembers is a soul-stirring multi-genre tale of a southern romance that will captivate fans of The Notebook, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and Outlander in this atypical love story about the transcending love between soul mates. My name is Caroline Beaumont. I appear to have it all––beauty, a successful career, friends and family who adore me. But I have a secret. I was four years old when the past began reaching out to me. Sometimes it came to me as a voice in my head. Other times, it presented as a vision of a lovely redhead and handsome dark-haired man from decades ago. The doctors call it schizophrenia. They’re wrong. I have something else. Something that doesn’t have a name. Something that modern medicine can’t explain. And I’m ready to embrace it.

I must take a wife. A wife I don't know. A wife born into a position at the top of The Fellowship hierarchy. A wife who will forge a strong alliance between her brotherhood and mine. A wife I don't want. I knew next to nothing about Westlyn Breckenridge when I abducted her, but I quickly discover that she's intelligent, strong, defiant, selfless. And beautiful. One night with her is all it takes for me to see that she is no typical Mafia princess. I'm hopeful this arranged marriage won't be the miserable union I imagined it to be. But convincing my intended to give us a chance won't be easy when she sees me as the enemy. The brute who kidnapped her. The vile fiend who threatened to do as he wished with her body. It's true. I am all those things. I had cruel intentions. But everything has changed. My affection for her is unexpected. My love, unintended."--Page 4 of cover.
