Laurel Brook is not sick. Sure, she just fell into a shelf of Noodle-Os at the grocery store and startled the unsuspecting patrons, but she’s definitely not sick. The problem is, the hot doctor who just caught her in his arms after she lost her balance? He doesn’t agree. Dr. Lachlan Cade can tell Laurel needs help, and even if it means bending the rules, he’s going to give it. Laurel is just as determined never to rely on a man again, but that’s a hard vow to keep when Lachlan’s touch makes her tachycardic and his soothing promises feel like warm honey on her tongue. Despite her misgivings, Laurel finds herself in a predicament with only two choices--go with Dr. Cade to his house for treatment, or rack up a medical bill in the hospital she can't afford. As Laurel reluctantly learns to accept help and heal, a mysterious threat ends up in Lachlan's inbox, and he has a sinking feeling it has something to do with the reason Laurel refuses to trust in the first place. Suddenly, he isn't just worried about hanging onto the hilarious but sexy patient who tumbled into his arms. He's worried Laurel's wounds run dangerously deep, and if they can't trust each other, they'll both end up scarred.

She never wanted a bodyguard. He never wanted a heart. Fate hands them both. Evie Hathaway never expected to need a bodyguard. She is not famous or wealthy, only a quiet beekeeper in rural Washington. But her rare Rh null blood has made her the target of a dark web competition, and when she is attacked during a routine venom delivery, her world collapses. To her horror, the assault is witnessed by Dr Benjamin Frost, and neither man is willing to let her walk back into danger alone. Evie leaves the encounter with a reluctant doctor-turned-bodyguard, and the only thing more alarming than the threats around her is how infuriatingly attractive he is. Dr Benjamin Frost does not babysit. The ex-military physician lives by precision, control and emotional distance. Yet Evie Hathaway dismantles every barrier he has built. Her stubborn independence, her lavender-sweet warmth and her ability to attract chaos as easily as she attracts bees pull him into a deadly chase he cannot ignore. Protecting her should be simple. Neutralise the threats. Wait for backup. Instead, Frost finds himself living on her chaotic farm, guarding her day and night while fighting a growing desire that feels far more dangerous than any enemy. Keeping her alive is one thing. Protecting his own heart may be impossible. Tease Me, Doc is Book Four in the Kiss-Met Series, a dangerous, tender, slow-burn bodyguard romance filled with forced proximity, intimacy lessons, grumpy sunshine banter, and a heroine who discovers she is worth protecting.

She can rescue any broken creature except herself. Arabella Rook has spent her life fighting to keep Mending Hearts Ranch alive, but when her controlling mother threatens foreclosure unless she marries by January, she is backed into a corner. Her only escape is a marriage of convenience with the last man she ever imagined saying yes to: her childhood nemesis, Dr Theodore Spencer. Spencer has loved Arabella for years. He offers a simple solution. They marry, she keeps the ranch and he finally gets the chance to protect the woman he has never stopped wanting. Living together is supposed to be easy. Keeping feelings out of it is not. As winter closes in, a reckless wedding-night choice and a rising threat on the ranch draw them into unexpected intimacy. With tension building and trust on the line, Arabella must decide whether to let Spencer in or risk losing far more than her home. Marry Me, Doc is Book Three in the Kiss-Met Series, a heartfelt, snowy, slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance filled with forced proximity, caretaker heat, childhood crush longing, and a heroine who learns she does not have to stand alone. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Kiss-Met Series ? ? ? ? ?

Gemma Daise is the world’s best matchmaker… for everyone but herself. Freshly dumped, suddenly homeless, and armed only with blistering sarcasm and a giant Doberman, Gemma thinks her luck has finally turned when a real estate mogul offers her a luxury apartment she can actually afford. There’s only one problem. The apartment already belongs to Dr Knox Rook. Knox is an OB/GYN who lives by structure, silence, and absolute control. Gemma is noise, colour, and chaos wrapped in a woman he has spent years trying to avoid. When they discover they’ve both been tricked into signing the same lease — complete with an outrageous clause that says they must either cohabit peacefully for two years or get married — escape is no longer an option. To break the contract, they must pretend to fulfil it. A fake engagement is meant to solve their problem, but forced proximity ignites a chemistry neither can ignore. Knox hides a surprisingly tender dominance Gemma cannot resist exploring, and Gemma awakens wants in Knox he never intended anyone to see. Their arrangement starts to look dangerously real. But when a friendly online stranger contacting Gemma turns into a real-world predator, the line between pretend and protection snaps.

Dr Ruth Coldwell is the world’s worst matchmaker. Mostly because she has never been in a functioning relationship herself. But if she cannot convince her boss she actually knows something about love, she will be out of a job and back to being a heartbroken academic with a useless doctorate. So Ruth blurts out the only thing that might save her career… she claims to be married. Which is how Callum Reed finds himself with a fake wife. Cal marches into a speed-dating event ready to tell off the so-called expert who keeps matching him with disasters. Instead, he discovers Ruth needs a fake husband, and he needs a fake girlfriend. Their problems line up a little too neatly, so Cal proposes a deal: she pretends to be his partner, and he pretends to be her devoted spouse. Easy. Simple. No feelings required. Except fake dating quickly turns into lingering looks, steamy “anatomy lessons,” and chemistry that does not feel staged at all. And just when Ruth begins to believe she might deserve a real chance at love, a figure from her past resurfaces to remind her why she ran from romance in the first place… and why Cal should never risk his heart on her. With sharp banter, medical spice, and Atwood’s signature twist of danger, Kiss Me, Doc is a doctor romcom about two people who fake it a little too well. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Kiss-Met Series: ? ? ? ? ?

She’s on the run. He’s on the hunt. But who will get caught in the end? Mattie Thorne has been on the run from her parents for almost two years. She’s being chased by a ruthless mercenary named Ghost, but somehow, she always manages to escape his capture attempts. Until one day, her time is finally up. Mattie “The Bunny” Thorne ends up well and truly captured by the enigmatic, blue-eyed Ghost, and it seems like her freedom might be lost. But then she glimpses something unexpected in her handsome captor–empathy. Taking a chance, Mattie offers him a deal: Help her ruin her billionaire parents, and she will pay him four million dollars. Kael has been known as “Ghost” for longer than he can remember. He has a perfect reputation for efficiency, coldhearted precision, and a marked lack of conscience in his chosen field. He’s the perfect mercenary… except when it comes to Bunny. With her rabbit-eared hoodies and devilish, teasing smiles, she has eluded him and haunted him for months. But just when he finally has her, Kael realizes that Mattie is not all that she seems. Her circumstances have her wrapped in dark shadows that could squeeze the laughing, bright light from her eyes for good, and now she’s asking for his help. When Kael hears what she’s really up against, he comes face to face with a sobering truth: The darkness that has Mattie cornered might just take a deadly Ghost to dispel. A cat-and-mouse, rivals-to-lovers, forced proximity romance with tons of spice, a little danger, and a lot of snarky banter!

There’s order in his courtroom, But not with his fake girlfriend. Top-tier lawyer Zev Brady is not in control. Ever since a half-naked heiress fell out of a tree and onto his head, the carefully crafted order in his life has gone berzerk. One moment, he was at a wedding his bossy sister, Azura, had forced him to attend, and the next, he had Isla Valehart in his arms. Now, the paparazzi have popped up out of nowhere, and they’ve caught him with a mostly naked millionaire darling in his arms. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Azura insists there’s only one solution to the problem: Fake date Isla Valehart until the paparazzi leave her alone. Ecologist nerd Isla Valehart has never been kissed. She’s never been touched by a man, never been wooed, and she’s certainly never been carried in her underwear by a giant yeti of a man. But when the paparazzi catch her in Zev Brady’s arms–in her ugliest pair of underwear, no less–Isla finds herself with no choice but to date the broody Mr. Brady. It’s not all bad. He’s easy to provoke, and Isla loves poking the grouchy lawyer bear. Also, she’s somehow ended up making a deal with Zev that she can’t resist: Stay in his home so he can keep an eye on her, and he’ll give her kissing lessons. Win-win, right? Except the kissing lessons are starting to feel real, and the paparazzi are getting frighteningly bold. Soon, Isla can't decide what is the bigger danger in her life--the stalkers with cameras, or her genuine feelings for her fake boyfriend.

Azura Brady is a shark in the courtroom, But she’s about to become the prey. Azura has to chase down a crime syndicate of lumberjacks. As bizarre as that sounds, it’s her only lead to help her brother, Dr. Amos Brady, and some of her wealthiest clients. Despite her deep misgivings about nature and relaxation as a whole, she goes all in and rents a cabin in a Colorado national forest to go undercover. But when a hiking excursion goes wrong, she stumbles right into the arms of a masked man who is as terrifying as he is enticing. He goes by the name of Wolf, and the only thing more frustrating than his determination to keep Azura from escaping his cabin is the way she starts to feel about him. Wolf wants nothing more than to finish his drone pilot assignment in the woods and get back to his life in Seattle. But then a smart-mouthed, high-profile lawyer finds her way into his cabin, and he has no choice but to keep her locked up until the mission is completed. The problem is, just as things are heating up with his operation to infiltrate a dangerous crime syndicate, Azura becomes a direct target of the deadly organization. Wolf is soon forced to choose between completing his assignment as planned or protecting the attorney he’s been keeping in his bed. He soon realizes that he would do anything to protect thorny Azura Brady… even if it means putting his life at risk.

"Dr. Brady saw my bra. And then I set him on fire. All in all, the whole debacle had been his fault, and after I got over my embarrassment, I was going to make him pay. " Being a young, semi-talented artist with big dreams is hard enough for June Matthews, but to make matters worse, her boss is a total dick. Dr. Amos Brady, a neurosurgeon, and unapologetic a-hole, seems determined to make his secretary’s life miserable. When Dr. Brady rudely points out that her “stripper” underwear is showing, June decides she’s had enough. Well, okay, she hadn’t meant to set his pants on fire, but she isn't mad about it, either. That is, until their office manager makes everyone go to a wilderness retreat to “foster communication” and force everyone to get along. June doesn’t intend to get along with Dr. Brady… but she does intend to get even. Amos barely notices the fuming “pocket doll” reincarnation marching around indignantly under his nose. He’s got bigger problems than June Matthews. His research in the field of connectomics has hit an enormous snag, and now his office manager thinks they need a weekend in the Tetons to improve office morale. Nobody has time for that. But then June tries to play a prank on Brady at their retreat, and her spectacular failure lands her in his bed and under his body. The encounter has Dr. Brady rethinking his initial assumptions about quirky June Matthews. Has she always been that… sparkly? He isn’t sure what he would do with a sprinkle-covered cupcake like June, but he’s willing to take a taste and find out. Even if she does drive him crazy. Enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and laugh-out-loud hijinks weave together a spicy story about the grumpiest of bosses falling for the brightest of sunshines.

The tides of destiny have bound the Prince of Salt and Sea to a mortal bride—if she dies, his kingdom burns. Ronan, Prince of the Selkies, would sacrifice anything for his people. When a vision from the sea goddess Thalassa reveals that his fate—and the survival of his realm—is tied to a mortal princess, he has no choice but to claim her as his bride. Emma has always been the overlooked youngest princess, eager to carve out a sliver of freedom for herself. So, when a selkie prince arrives, demanding she abandon the life she’s fought for, she refuses to be a pawn in Ronan's game. But danger lurks in the glittering shadows of the selkie court, where enemies whisper and alliances are as shifting with the tide. With conspirators plotting against them and an undeniable tension sparking between them, Ronan and Emma must decide what love and freedom truly mean—before they lose each other, and their kingdoms, forever.

Anwen is the Faie Queen. Armed with the shared power of Moros and married to the Faie King, she has narrowly escaped a gruesome fate at the hands of Erinyes, and has managed to trap two of the three sisters. But their trials are far from over. In a mountain far away, her brother, King Matth, languishes in mysterious agony. Close to her home, Ruin threatens to break free of the magical barrier that protects the humans and Faie refugees, but Anwen and Evander have no hope of trapping the vengeful sister without fulfilling the prophecy given to Anwen at her birth. When the famed Iron Vice shows up at her gates, fully intending to save Anwen from the Faie he believes have invaded their vale, Anwen finds herself at the center of an ageless dispute between humans and Faie that could prove fatal to the war against Ruin. Desperate to save both people, Anwen and Evander discover that the answer to their salvation can only be found in the Pantheon of the Gods. That is, if they can live long enough to escape it. Either Anwen will reign, or Ruin will burn them all.

I had crossed the sea and sky to find Evander. I had unraveled my body of its last, frayed edges of strength. I had torn across the vales and battled the demons of time to save him, to save our people, and here at last, we had reached the end of our bonded tapestry—the Gods in their envy had stolen him from me. And they weren’t giving him back. The Faie King, Evander, has saved Anwen from weeks of torture at the hands of Envy, but the danger is far from gone. Erinyes ravages the vales with merciless wildfires, and the three entities Fury, Envy, and Ruin will stop at nothing to bind the mortal to their side again. Starving creatures follow Anwen and Evander as they race through the vales to reach their people, and even the Gods themselves conspire to steal the Faie King and undo everything they have worked for. Anwen must survive in a world of stolen faces, trust a devious selkie prince with hidden motives, and solve the prophecy that would return the Evander's power to his hands. If not, the mortal princess will forfeit her power to Envy and succumb to the bonds that creep around her from the darkest edges of the Faievales.

Hear the Faie on the wind. Fear the Fury within. Anwen is pretty sure she loves her future husband. The problem is, he’s not real. When Anwen discovers that she has been under an enchantment for months, and that her betrothed, Gresham, is a mysterious being obsessed with keeping her forever, she escapes to the forbidden Faiewood after a voice on the wind calls her to safety. She finds herself the captive of a green-eyed Faie king who gives cryptic half-truths to Anwen’s questions and refuses to let her leave the Faiewood. With her family’s life at stake, and the safety of all Faie hanging in the balance, Anwen learns that she is his birthright. They are bound by the strings of fate, and she is left with only one choice: trust him, or watch the vales burn. Fall into a world of magic and danger with slow-burn romance, fated lovers, and a protective hero determined to save his kingdom. Faie and Fury is the first book in The Faie King's Mortal series.
