Jax

2015

He's JAX. He's a rockstar. He's a screw-up. He broke my heart. He's my new stepbrother. Jaxson Blue is rock royalty: the son of one of the biggest names on the planet. He was my first...everything. Then he broke my heart in the most public way possible. I never want to think about Jax again. Too bad his music seems to follow me wherever I go. Now my hard-living roadie of a father is marrying Jax's rock star mother and the four of us have to co-exist in the same house for two weeks. Jax is still the same sexy, arrogant jerk I fell in love with, and I'm too weak to resist him for long. So I make a deal with myself. It's only until the wedding. It's only a fling. It doesn't mean anything. I'm not doing anything wrong...right? NOTE: All characters in this standalone novel are over the age of 18 and are not blood-related.

Rane

2016

Everything was easy...until I met her. If at first you don't succeed, f\ck it and move the hell on. I'm Rane Wilder and I'm not one to hold on to sh\t. Life as the guitarist in the biggest band on the planet is fun. Which is good. Because the second it stops being fun, I'm out. Being in the music video with Madeline Cole, that was fun too. Sure, the band had misgivings. Maddie's a crazy former child star who hit rock bottom hard, and is now trying to revitalize her career. She's a fiery redhead with big blue eyes and a bad reputation, but her mom is dating my dad, so I thought I'd do her a favor by giving her the work. That's when things get difficult. Because falling for Maddie is really easy. I can see the fire inside of her, and I love it that I'm the one who makes her burn. But being with her? That's hard as hell. Especially when our parents announce their engagement. I've fallen for a force of nature and she's about to become my stepsister. And for the first time in my life, I can't move on.

Wilder

2016

Scarlett: The whole world thinks they know him, but no one knows him like I do. Keir Wilder may be the lead singer of the biggest rock band on the planet, but he was once the boy next door. He was my first love. He put a ring on my finger. But I couldn't stay with him. That was a long, long time ago. Now I need help, and he's the only one who can save me. I know he will... If he can forgive me. Keir: Five years ago I waited for her but she never showed up. I tried to find her, but she disappeared. If she thinks she can just walk back into my life with no explanation, she is mistaken. Sure I'll help her. I'll fix it. That's what I do. I'm a problem solver and I don't let go until things are the way they should be. Like me and Scarlett, together again. Now that I have her back in my life, I'm not letting her run away from me again. We're about to leave on tour and I don't care what the rest of the band thinks. Or even what she thinks. She's coming with me.

True

2016

What's more dangerous than falling in love? True: Ruthless has been my favorite band forever. So when the fiercely beautiful brunette stomped into the bar where I'd been licking my wounds, I instantly recognized Piper Stowe. What I can't figure out is what she's doing here. It's like she's purposefully putting herself in danger. Someone needs to protect her from herself. I'm a down-on-my-luck nobody, dirt poor and stuck in a go-nowhere life. But I protect her. Again, and again and again. She's cold and cutting. She rarely talks. She won't let me touch her. She's a f\*cking mess. So why the hell do I want her so badly? Piper: F\*ck you if you think I'm running from my past. I'm fine. My band is back in the studio and we're on the top of our game. I've got it all under control. But just to prove it to myself, I go looking for danger. If Cash Truman wants to play white knight, that's his problem. I don't need his help. I don't need him or the way he kisses me. I don't want to feel the feelings he brings to the surface. Not after I've spent my life burying them inside. I've built a wall around my heart. What makes him think he can tear it down? NOTE: As a special bonus, I am including two bonus books absolutely free!

Vivian Lux is a penname for author Theresa Leigh Theresa Leigh is a romance author whose love of reading is so intense, she sometimes injures herself by walking around with her nose in a book. She loves writing stories that have you feeling every emotion... sometimes all on the same page. ​ After five years of writing romance under a penname, Theresa finally decided to own up to how she was spending her all time. Her mother now knows all about the kinds of books she writes. She reacted more positively to it than Theresa expected. ​ Theresa lives and writes in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State (not the city) (that distinction is important to her), where she lives with her husband, twin sons and twin orange cats, Pumpkin and Jackie O’Lantern. When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys eating too much Thai food, walking around barefoot, and cooing baby talk at her cats.
