Did Not Finish

Can your favorite hockey players finish their first season together undefeated? Five months in, NHL forward Ryan Wesley is having a record-breaking rookie season. He’s living his dream of playing pro hockey and coming home every night to the man he loves—Jamie Canning, his longtime best friend turned boyfriend. There’s just one problem: the most important relationship of his life is one he needs to keep hidden, or else face a media storm that will eclipse his success on the ice. Jamie loves Wes. He really, truly does. But hiding sucks. It’s not the life Jamie envisioned for himself, and the strain of keeping their secret is taking its toll. It doesn’t help that his new job isn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped, but he knows he can power through it as long as he has Wes. At least apartment 10B is their retreat, where they can always be themselves. Or can they? When Wes’s nosiest teammate moves in upstairs, the threads of their carefully woven lie begin to unravel. With the outside world determined to take its best shot at them, can Wes and Jamie develop major-league relationship skills on the fly? Warning: contains sexual situations, a vibrating chair, long-distance sexytimes and proof that hockey players look hot in any shade of green.

Luca worked his way to the top of his local fighting ring, but has to leave it behind and move across the state to join The DeVille Crew. He’s pretty sure it’s the mafia. And his first assignment sucks. ‘Security Detail’ is a nice way of saying ‘glorified babysitter’ for the boss’s hellion daughters, who make it their mission to annoy him. He never expected to fall in love with one of the unhinged sassholes he’s sworn to protect. Ariana runs a little wild with her sister by her side, because life’s more fun that way. And she doesn’t want a bodyguard cramping their style. Luca’s a hot-as-sin, certified grump-ass giant with tattoos and muscles and… Okay, maybe she wants him a little. But wanting someone related to the people who took her in as kid is wrong, right? Their world is a dangerous place. When a threat lurks in the shadows, they’ll both stop at nothing to keep the other safe. Scars & Trust is Part 1 of the DeVille Daughters Duology. It has a guaranteed HEA for this couple, and they're featured heavily in Part 2 as side characters. It is also the first book in The DeVille Crew series. It contains mature content and is intended for readers 18 and up.

First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion: "Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven. Seven little boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half and then there were six. Six little boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none." When they realize that murders are occurring as described in the rhyme, terror mounts. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. Who has choreographed this dastardly scheme? And who will be left to tell the tale? Only the dead are above suspicion.
