Strike

2017

A summer job. That’s all it was supposed to be. It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I’d be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss. He was too old for me, too complicated, too distracting. On the surface we had almost nothing in common except the draw of an overpowering physical connection. The seasonal job at a local resort was going to be temporary. He was going to be temporary. But insufferably sexy, arrogant Dalton Tremaine has other ideas. And the harder I fall for him the more I can’t find a good reason to resist giving him everything he wants… \*STRIKE is the first book in a brand new sexy spinoff series from NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Cora Brent. No cliffhanger! May be read as a stand alone.

Turn

2018

"If this was a story then I’d be the damaged villain and she’d be the innocent princess. Stories like that don’t end well in real life." CASSIE I’m determined to leave my mistakes in the past. These days I’m back in school, I’m surrounded by my wonderful, crazy family and I’m working for my dad. Then Curtis Mulligan happens. A supposedly reformed gang member from the rundown prison town where my folks grew up, Curtis looks like he was built for mayhem. We have nothing in common. If he hadn’t taken a job working for my father, our paths wouldn’t even cross. But I can’t admit that menacing mix of ink and muscle has flipped a switch inside of me. It’s an impulse I’m determined to ignore. However, when Curtis turns out to be much more than he seems and steps between me and a bad situation, I wind up owing him a hell of a favor. And I can’t think of anything but paying him back… CURTIS I should have been dead a dozen times over but somehow I’m still here. I’m grateful for the chance to keep my head down and act like a regular citizen. Screwing up isn’t an option and getting naked with the boss’s daughter is no way to thank the man for a job. Besides, sweet, clueless Cassie Gentry isn’t the kind of girl I’m used to entertaining myself with. I had planned to keep my hands off even if she begged for it. But that was before I realized Cassie is much more than a pretty face. She just might be the girl who can turn me around for good... TURN is a steamy 'opposites attract' story set in the Gentry world from USA Today and NYT Bestselling author Cora Brent. May be read as a stand alone.

PAIGE People say Derek Gentry is arrogant, perpetually drunk and good for only one thing. Even from a distance he's like a neon sign that reads: ‘I AM THE WORST IDEA YOU EVER HAD.’ And I’m not tempted, no matter how hot he is. I’ve heard the rumors. I know his story. But I’ve got my own scars. I don’t need his. Despite his muscled, blue-eyed good looks, he’s definitely just heartbreak wrapped in a seductive package. However, I didn’t plan on falling into his arms on the worst night of my life. I didn’t plan on initiating a chain reaction of events that neither of us saw coming. And I didn’t plan on needing him so much I can hardly stand it… DEREK Everyone has a history. Mine’s a little worse than most. I’ve hurt my family. I’ve hurt people I never even knew. I’ve hurt myself. And I’ve been hiding at the bottom of a bottle for so long I’m not sure how to do things differently. At first Paige didn’t seem like the type who would ever be able to handle a guy like me. Little did I know what kind of mysteries she’s been keeping inside. Now I can’t get her out of my head. We could help each other. Or we could destroy each other. Right now it’s anyone’s guess.

Wreck

2020

THOMAS Not too long ago my future was all mapped out. Then two brutal swings of a steel bat wielded by a maniac wrecked my world. The adrenaline high I used to get from pitching a perfect game is gone. The major league dreams I counted on have vanished. And the peace of mind I took for granted is shattered. The thrills I seek out now are self-destructive. I know this and I can’t stop. What I didn’t expect is for my downward spiral to be interrupted by a shy beauty with a messy past. Gracie and I are very different. And yet we’re tragically alike. I can prove to her that we’re supposed to be together. All she has to do is give me the chance. And all I have to do is remember how to be the guy she thinks I am. GRACIE I’ve learned the hard way that one reckless mistake can topple your house of cards. And I thought I was finished taking chances. But Thomas Gentry made it clear he was on a mission to break my armor and guys like Thomas didn’t come along every day. He was as charming as he was headstrong, as sexy as he was protective. He put all the book heroes I’ve ever drooled over to shame. Falling for Thomas was inevitable. And I was his before I understood something important. We both need to find a way to heal ourselves. Otherwise we might ruin each other forever.

I'm a huge fan of insta-love, grunge era flannel, my vintage Kenmore sewing machine, embroidered dishcloths and absolutely everything that has to do with 1980s pop culture (i.e. leg warmers, scrunchies, big hair, early Madonna, boom boxes, wood paneled walls, stonewash jeans, etc). If you believe in Happily Ever After and improbable love stories, chances are I'll love you too!! Email: corabrentwrites@yahoo.com
