Impulsive Desires
2022
Who knew one split second decision would turn my entire life upside down? My life is simple. School, work, sleep, repeat. Or at least it was. One crazy impulsive decision later and I’m being thrown head first into the deep end of an all out mafia war. I need to figure out a way back to my life without being killed – Or worse, falling head over heels with the mafia boss determined to protect me. He’s supposed to be the most dangerous man in Chicago so why is that every time he looks at me, my knees go weak and my tongue loosens. I must have a death wish. It should be a crime to be that good looking and that much of a jerk at the same time though. How do I get back to my life safely… and do I really want to?

Reckless Desires
2022
There’s a fine line between impulsive and just plain reckless. I put that to the test when I ended up in the right place at the right time. Or maybe it’s the opposite? I walked straight into a dangerous situation between two mafia rivals because who better to handle the situation than a twenty year old waitress with no experience? You think I would’ve learned my lesson. But who can resist icy blue eyes and accents? I thought I could, until the devilishly good looking Russian mobster reappeared in my life and swept me off my feet. He’s supposed to be the bad guy, but I can’t seem to stay away. I must be a glutton for his particular brand of punishment. He steals my breath away with one look, can I learn to hold my own against him without losing who I am in the process… or will I be swept away in the current? Now I need to decide whether his affection is worth being a little reckless

Seductive Desires
2022
Sometimes you just can’t risk temptation… I’ve always made safe decisions. I resisted temptation and followed the rules of engagement. It was how I stayed safe. But when a handsome playboy decides to play knight in shining armor, I found myself immediately swept off my feet and decided for once to indulge a little. I didn’t realize I was being charmed not by a white knight but a dangerous rogue instead. Now, as a shadow threatens to eclipse my life, I have to figure out how to hold my own against his charm and his increasing need to rescue me. What he doesn’t realize? I’ve never been the one to wait around and let others do the work. Can this damsel in distress learn to fight fire with fire and become a self rescuing princess… or just this once, should I give in to temptation?
Seductive Desires can be read as a standalone novel, though the story is interconnected with the other books in the Mafia Wives Club series.

Illicit Desires
2022
Even in the mafia world, sometimes you need a lawyer to get the job done. I was hired to do a job, I just happened to be hired by a rival mafia family. I thought I’d be able to handle everything Liam O’Connor threw at me but I didn’t expect Jaime. He’s been assigned as my bodyguard and the draw I feel for him is off the charts. Too bad I’ve got a rule not to date clients or their employees. It should be illegal to look that good. Stubborn doesn’t even come close to describing me so Jaime is just going to have to learn to deal with it. But when my family starts to push back against my new job, he’s the only one I trust to protect me. He’s also a charmer with a panty dropping smile, making him the most dangerous distraction. It’s sink or swim in my world and when it comes to Jaime, I might just let myself get swept away in the current. Can I stay on track and get the job done… or is it finally time to put aside the rulebook and give in to my lawless desires?

Hidden Desires
2023
Bending the rules never felt this dangerous before… You fool around with a hot Russian one time and suddenly he thinks you belong to him. He swept in with his muscle heavy physique and his dangerous attitude and with a little, okay a lot, of alcohol to ease the awkward tension, one thing led to another. It wasn’t even a hookup. We didn’t go all the way. I barely even remembered the night in question, but now he wouldn’t take the hint. I wasn’t looking for a relationship. And never with a guy like him. My parents would kill me. I was determined to ignore him until he lost interest, but life seemed to have other intentions for me. With a Russian wedding to attend and a new stalker haunting my footsteps, I am forced to rely on my new Russian security to keep me safe, and that’s just irritating. That’s not even counting the fact that when I said dangerous, I wasn’t even close to touching reality on the stuff this guy was into. Do I make the choice to run so that I can protect myself… or for once in my life, do I give in to my hidden desires?

Risky Desires
2023
I never figured I’d end up here.
Going from a loving childhood to living on the streets wasn’t part of the plan. But all the plans I had disappeared in smoke and fire. I trusted someone I shouldn’t, and in the end, being on the streets was better than the alternative. I had to keep moving, keep out of sight, if I wanted to stay alive. I got good at hiding. At least until he showed up and saved me. I knew better than to get involved. I should’ve minded my own business. I had my own stuff to deal with. But when I heard someone threaten the handsome Russian who saved my life, I took a risk to give him a warning. Now, I’m being hunted not only by my own past, but by the dangerous mobsters who wanted to hurt my savior. I should run, put as much space between myself and these strangers who only brought me more trouble. But he’s determined to protect me, even from myself. And I can’t help but wonder, are there some things worth the risk… or am I doomed to run for the rest of my life?
