Obsession
2018
A. Blackthorne
It started with a dark and stormy night. So cliché it was as if the whole thing had been orchestrated. A gorgeous woman came to his door seeking help. A handsome and heavily muscled man answered. After a torrid night of passion, they parted. The man, Jax Paulson was a bestselling author. A romance author. He wasn’t anyone’s idea of a typical romance author not with his bad boy tattoos and hard body. That’s because being a romance author was the last thing Jax Paulson expected he’d become. He was a Marine first and foremost. Until a tragic accident changed everything. Now Jax is at the top of the writing world hovering on the brink of worldwide success. Then she came back. His one night stand. Her name is Sarah. It was just supposed to be one wild night. And that was all. Now she's threatening his life. And his new girlfriend. But she won't stop, she can't stop. After all, Sarah is his number one fan. And if she can’t have him. NO ONE CAN.

As a man, Connor is determined to stay away from his father’s business. With Sean, participation is not a request, but a demand.

A chance encounter puts the lost girl from his past back on his path, and he no longer has a choice but to face the darkness he’s been ignoring for years. Evelyn. Sasha. Slave.

She isn’t the same as she once was—now a thing to be kept and maintained, shuffled from owner to owner until it was her time to go.

Except she isn’t Connor’s at all … And he can’t keep her hidden forever. ~Inflict is a Standalone Romance with graphic depictions of violence, sexual scenes, dark elements and a HEA.

Broken by the Gladiator
2018
Nicola Rose
Cassian I’m trained to kill… for the amusement of others. Slave. Fighter. Beast. Emotions are a weakness, so I have none; except anger and hate. All the good ones were beaten and starved out of me long ago. I barely even feel pain anymore. But when she touches me? Feelings thrash to the surface, and in my world those are dangerous. She’s poison, feeding off my rage for her own sick pleasures. I hate her. She keeps finding cracks and opening them up, squeezing herself inside my chest. She’s going to get me killed. Livia I’m Domina of the Atticus ludus, where we train gladiators to compete for victory. Wealthy. Attractive. Powerful husband. It appears I have it all… and I wish I could make myself feel that way. But I’m numb. Too broken to even care. The only time I feel alive is when I’m with my husband’s champion gladiator. My slave. In the arena, and the bedroom. It's disgusting for a woman of my rank to sleep with a man like him. He's a dirty, worthless animal. His touch should feel repulsive. His gaze upon me should make my skin crawl. But he's mine. And I want more. Passion, deceit, blood, anger and hope. Who will be left standing when a gladiator falls for his Domina? Note to readers: DARK Romance - insert all the trigger warnings here!! This novella contains blood and action, and steamy scenes between characters battling with dominance issues. Expect a lot of heat and darkness, because romance isn’t always sweet.
