This Reverse Harem Romance is a five part series. Be prepared for weekly releases of this red hot read! KURT Kurt’s an author. Okay, so that’s a slight understatement. He’s a 'prize-winning' author. His last book did A-okay and the world is making out he’s the next Aldous Huxley—bada bing bada boom. Still, fame has never been his end goal. Kurt's family was struck by tragedy back when the Berlin Wall was still a thing rather than a distant memory. He was a kid, too young to understand, but his father has never been the same since he returned from a Stasi prison camp. As a result, Kurt’s childhood was… unusual. It formed an even more unusual adult. One intent on righting the wrongs of his family’s history by putting pen to paper, but also, one intent on the bigger picture. See, unlike most of the human race, all Kurt wants is happiness. Sure, most people think they want it, but Kurt’s willing to go the extra mile to have it. Even if that means sharing his woman with four of his best friends. Why? Kurt likes to watch. And Sascha, the new housekeeper, likes being watched. A match made in heaven, right? Still, life has a habit of getting in the way. Sascha’s being targeted. They have no idea who, and even worse, no idea why. But someone wants her dead. Injured and fragile, Sascha’s vulnerability is at an all time high. Kurt and his friends can keep her safe, but can they heal Sascha’s hurts before the writing hits the wall?

This Reverse Harem Romance is a five part series. Be prepared for weekly releases of this red hot read! SAWYER Sawyer’s a mathematician. In his thirties, he might have won a Nobel Prize, and he might be worth a couple of million as a result of his research, but of all the men sharing the same Kensington roof, he’s the most normal. Born into poverty, Sawyer knows what it means to feel hunger. But, one thing he was never starved of was love. Of all the men he considers his brothers, Sawyer knows he’s the least messed up in the head. In many ways, he knows it’s down to him and Sean, the other rational one of the bunch, to keep their unusual household adrift. For years, they’ve looked for a woman who could fulfill their needs. For years, they’d despaired. But Sascha is so much more than they were ever looking for. Through her, the world is different. No longer as cold, as uncaring. Her love becomes a lifeline, so when that lifeline comes under threat, Sawyer’s ready to attack. With ex-wives and mysterious saboteurs dive-bombing into their world, life couldn’t get much crazier. Still, with his level-head, it’s down to him to make sure Sascha knows he and the rest of his brothers worship the ground she walks on. Can he convince her before the danger stalking her attacks?

Protected by Them

2018

ANDREI Andrei is a quantitative analyst. Yeah, he knows it’s a mouthful. Basically, he’s a deep math guy. One of those SOBs who studies the stock markets on the hunt for gold. One difference between him and the rest? Andrei’s better than good. He’s the best. Having struck gold a long time ago, he enjoys keeping his toes dipped in the water while messing with the ethics and morals of the playground he works in—the world economy. With the freedom to live how he chooses, Andrei embraces his present in a way he could never embrace his past. He has family who loves him, but as the grandson of a Bratva Pakhan, things were never normal. Perhaps that’s why a household of six suits him down to a tee. Sascha’s like no other woman Andrei and his friends—men who are more like brothers to him than anything else—have ever known. She’s turned their lives upside down with her unique attitude, her open heart, and warm, caring nature. Frankly, she’s a breath of fresh air. A breath Andrei isn’t willing to do without. For Sascha, he’ll test the ties that bind him to his family to discover who is targeting her, who wants her injured. Because love means prodding the underbelly of the beast that is the Russian mafia to discover who wants his woman dead. Protecting Sascha has always been the priority, but now, it’s time she realized two things. One: she’s their woman. Two: in their arms, she will always be safe. Can they make her understand, or is the household of six that suits the men so perfectly, just too much for Sascha to handle? Find out in Protected by Them. Book Four of the Quintessence series!
