“I should never have fallen in love with Alan. He is like a drug, my secret addiction, and I am trapped in the hold of him.” ~~Chrissie Parker “When I call, you’ll come. You won’t be able to stop yourself. We’re spending the rest of our lives together in bed, Chrissie. Get used to the idea.” ~~Alan Manzone “We’re both in love with people who are not good for us. People we can’t be with. I think that makes us perfect together.” ~~Neil Stanton Chrissie Parker is not an ordinary college freshman. Her father, Jack, is a beloved music icon from the sixties. She was raised in a sheltered world of privilege. Then a whirl-wind spring romance with British superstar Alan Manzone rockets her into a tabloid media frenzy. Some loves prove impossible to leave behind, even at UC Berkeley, though Chrissie is determined to live a normal life as a college girl.

As Chrissie fights to build her own future, she is caught between the love of a friend and the love of her life.

“Maybe this is love. Protecting the part of yourself most important to you and knowing when to let go so that you can keep a small piece of that person alive and real in your heart.”~~Chrissie Parker “He will never need you the way I need you. He will never want you as I want you. He will never love you the way I love you. I don’t care if you are in love with Alan. I am in love with you.”~~Neil Stanton “Just stay and be good to me.”~~Alan Manzone Chrissie decides her fate by choosing the man she will marry. But which love does she pick? The love of a friend, or the great love of her life? Does it matter the turns Chrissie takes? Or will her life be as it should? Can a woman fight her own fate? And is her perfect guy, as perfect as he seems? Does happily ever after come simply for Chrissie? Secrets are revealed as The Half Shell universe collides with the Affair Without End series in a dramatic, unexpected, emotionally intense journey of a rich girl with dark secrets finding love with a troubled rocker.

“Some secrets are meant to be kept forever. What no one ever tells you is that secrets hurt you and never the ones you lie to. They are your solitary hurt and shame. The people you withhold them from go on with their lives. They live. They fuck. They love. They are unharmed by your silence and the words you haven’t yet shared.” ~Chrissie Parker “We have a perfect life together. Don’t let the past ruin it, Chrissie.” ~Neil Stanton “We are the farthest thing from enemies, Chrissie. I will always love you.” ~Alan Manzone Married to her gorgeous superstar husband, Neil, and living a picture-perfect life should have put the past to rest forever for Chrissie.

Linda is on a mission to find her father. Her journey to locate the gifted musician who abandoned her before she was born takes her through the steamy and drug fueled world of the LA music scene where she is rapidly climbing the ranks as a prime groupie sought after by the brilliant and talented men of rock music. Jackson Parker is a living music legend from the ‘60s. But hard living, the death of his wife, private tragedies, and a personal life in shambles sends him on a downward spiral into despair. On a lonely night on a Santa Barbara beach the last thing either expects is to find the one person they absolutely need to make their lives complete. Will Linda’s chance meeting with a drunken Jackson change both of their lives forever? Together these two broken and desperate souls collide in a passionate affair that is impossible for either of them to resist. Together they each find the solace they need: a man searching for peace and a girl searching for closure. One thing is certain, their chance meeting has kicked off an affair without end…

I never intended to become a famous man’s lover. I know damn well Jack never intended that for me. And somehow that’s what I became. ~ Linda Cray I’m the kind of man who knows when he’s met forever. Linda leaving today won’t make a difference about anything. ~Jackson Parker Linda never expected a chance encounter with a drunken man on the beach to change her life forever. But then, Linda had never met a man like Jackson Parker. He is the kind of man a foolish groupie falls in love with. The total rock star package: handsome, charming, intelligent, brilliant, and nice. The most dangerous kind of encounter. The kind where you wake up one morning completely delusional and lying to yourself that there might be a way to keep him. The smart play on all accounts was for Linda to let go of Jack after a three week whirl-wind affair rather than to try to hold onto a man who, in all ways, was beyond her reach. But walking out of Jack’s life ended nothing. Struggling to build her own life, and unable to resist the temptation of the mercurial Jack, Linda is swept away by an affair without end.

“I knew it the first time I laid eyes on him. Some men have that power. They instantly ignite something feral in you, whether you want it or not, and the sexual electricity is always there, in every room and every moment, from the first time you see them. An inescapable web, swirling around you until you surrender. And at that point, they devour you.”~~Linda Cray Leaving Jack a second time is the hardest thing Linda has ever done. Keeping their love intact proves an even greater challenge as she embarks on a new career: road manager for the British rock band Blackpoll and the girl expected to keep the mercurial Alan Manzone from self-destruction. Building a successful career for herself fast becomes the least of her concerns. Jack’s heated custody battle over his daughter continues to thwart the great love of Linda’s life. Alone and heartsick and forced to stay away from Jack, she finds herself soon caught in a spinning web of lust for Alan Manzone. She wants him. She hates him. Yet there is something elusive about the enigmatic Brit that melts her heart. Linda is determined not to falter in her love for Jack while they wait for his custody battle over Chrissie to be resolved, so they can at last start their future together. But will she surrender to the burning pull of Alan’s pursuit?

One Forever Kiss is the final book of the Affair without End Series and written as a standalone novel. An epic love story spanning six decades, one man, and two women woven together in a poignant, sexy, and unpredictable way. “You see, sometimes it takes being madly in love with a woman and doing it badly to learn how to be madly in love with a woman and do it well.” ~ Jackson Parker In the summer of 1960, eighteen-year-old Jackson Parker is a devil-may-care ladies’ man living a cushy life as a senator’s son, hitting beaches and hitting on girls. He is destined for what everyone proclaims will be a promising future. Shortly before his first semester at Harvard he meets Lena Mansur, a world-class violinist, a woman older than him, mysterious and beautiful with a notorious past. Over the course of fifteen years they will share an intense romance against the backdrop of the turbulent decade of the sixties, culminating in the seventies in what Jack is sure will be his one forever love. Then on a beach in Santa Barbara, Linda Cray enters Jack’s world—a feisty, strong, independent woman seventeen years his junior with a troubling past of her own. Over the course of three decades, they will love and pull apart, only to love again, staying strong and true to their hearts as they dedicate themselves to each other and the people they love. The journey is far from conventional. The obstacles between them many. Their love enduring. Told in an interweaving narrative by Jack that moves between past and present, One Forever Kiss illuminates the cost of ambition, the demands of family, the sacrifices we make out of love, and reveals how the mistakes of the past can destroy even an intense love—or save it.

The Girl of Sand & Fog is the second of three Stand-Alone books in the Sand & Fog series. This book has a HEA. ~ Two seconds into the kiss, I’m sure I haven’t misread the guy. He likes me. He is attracted to me. I feel that flash of female supremacy surge through me. Just to be a bitch, I move my hips slightly to brush my softer parts against his no longer soft part before I end the kiss and scramble back over the gearshift to my side of the car. “You can go now,” I say. “I was planning to.” Bobby opens the car door. “Do you want to hang out again sometime?” He’s almost out of the car. What a strange ‘that’s it’… ~ Kaley Stanton has it all. Beauty. Brains. Wealth. A beloved, renowned family. And fame as an Internet sensation. What she doesn’t have is the one thing she needs: the truth. Bobby Rowan isn’t the ordinary boy next door. This hot surfer doesn’t play by any rules but his own. He’s never chased any girl. Kaley is no different. As childhood friends reconnecting years later, their shared history and instant chemistry draws them together. But is that enough to make these two independent and conflicted souls a forever love or will the past make a future for them impossible?

What would you do if the perfect guy entered your life three times and each time you didn’t know it? Willow… The first time the man of my dreams entered my life he was a sexy Brit stranded in Seattle by his friends, who promised me everything and then broke my heart. The second time he entered my life he was a sweet and tender street musician who woke up my broken heart and made my blood boil, but he left me yet again. And the third time, he was a billionaire… Eric… I’m no Prince Charming. In fact, I used to be the love ’em and leave ’em type, and I’m pretty sure I’m exactly the kind of guy I wouldn't want my sisters to date. But I’m trying to be a better man, and that means finding Willow. The girl I left behind and can’t forget. A lot’s changed in the seven years since I broke her heart in an unspeakable way. My life is about making amends to the people I’ve wronged. She’s the last one on my list. If only I could tell her I was sorry and I wasn’t the same jerk I’d been. I’ve changed.

I’m the guy who broke her heart seven years ago. But make no mistake. This time I’m making her mine…

It’s not possible. Did I fall in love with the same guy twice and not know it? Willow… I’ve pretty much sworn off love and men. You would, too, if you had my lousy track record. Before I started college, I fell in love with a sexy Brit. Only he forgot to tell me that he was a lying cheater and married. Got my heart broken good by him. Then I tried marriage. He was a lying cheater as well, and now I’m divorced. That’s proof enough I shouldn’t date men.

The next thing I know, I’m falling in love with him… Eric… I looked up Willow to make amends to her, and I fell fast and hard for her like I did the first time I met her.

Then family tragedy causes me to leave her unexpectedly again. But make no mistake. I’m not letting go of her again… Willow & Eric’s story is a two-book miniseries. The books must be read in order to understand the story: Part 1: Gone Guy Part 2: Return to Us (releasing soon)

We were a scandal waiting to happen. But I didn’t care. For years my life had already been an unending downward spiral. Then my grandfather, Jack, gave me an apartment no one knew about. A secret bequest after his death, and the brief note that accompanied the gift sent me running to Italy. I’d gone to Venice to find peace, knowing I was weak, and instead I found him. He was magnificent, brilliant, jaded, and white-hot danger. I was consumed by him as I’ve never been by anything or anyone. Vibrant and unrelenting wakefulness burned inside me when he was near. And he became everything I craved and all I would regret. Letting go of us was inevitable, even as it tormented me to tear us apart.

Ordinary men are stopped by obstacles. Future kings conquer them. A true statement, and the only issue with that pronouncement was I wasn’t the future king. I was the spare to the spare of the heir and hugely irrelevant. It meant I could do what I wanted, within reason. It meant I could have her, and I wanted that beyond all else. A life with Khloe, removed from the world, where there was only Damon and Khloe loving each other. It didn’t matter that she was ill. It didn’t matter that I was going to lose her not long after we married. I’d already lost my heart to her and needed every minute I could have with her. None of the obstacles mattered…until unexpectedly they did. Until I was no longer the spare to the spare. Until the prospect that Khloe might one day be the Queen of England. All things changed in the blink of an eye. Me. Her. Our future. My family demanded I let her go, even knowing it would destroy me to lose her.

Bestselling author Susan Ward’s latest installment of the Parker Saga features a British prince and a rock star’s daughter in a slow burn holiday romance filled with heart, heat, and humor. I never expected my life with Damon to take an unexpected turn that could rock even my family. What Damon set in motion was the last thing I expected. But how could I say no with my entire family watching? I knew it would be a Valentine’s Day to remember. He was the man of my dreams. He made me live them. I should probably have said no, but my heart made my mouth say yes because Damon had become my everything. Author's note: A Very Damon Valentine is a standalone novel and can be understood without reading any other books about Khloe & Damon. While it's not necessary for readers reading their full love story to read this book before starting American Prince, it adds a bit of fun to the conclusion of their story. Note: This book is also titled, "A Very Damon Holiday". As per the author's site, this is book #9 in the Sand & Fog series, and book #17 in the Parker Saga. ENJOY!!

We're a scandal waiting to happen…again… I never expected my quiet, perfect life with Damon in Wyoming to end as a scandal that could rock even my family. Paparazzi overload, a public shaming on social media, and my deepest secrets—and heartache—trending daily to be read and gossiped about by millions around the globe. It’s a lot for a twenty-four-year-old girl. Worse, it’s nearly impossible to get over a guy when the world won’t shut up about him. So being American royalty—well, of a sort—I did the only thing I could do as Alan and Chrissie Manzone’s daughter. I became a reality TV show. No, I’m not kidding. A taped weekly reality show. Number one in its time slot, thank you. Each week I get to give some lucky guy a chance to win my heart on national TV. Only it won’t ever happen. Because behind the smiles, flirtations, and snappy words, my heart still wants Damon From the author: American Prince is a smoking hot second-chance romance, filled with twists you won’t see coming, as Khloe and Damon fight for their happily-ever-after. And like all Parker Saga books, this romance is filled with the angst, humor, and heat readers expect from the Manzone family.

Damon has to save his country to save the love of his life… I never expected my glorious life with Khloe in Wyoming to come to an end because of evil men doing evil deeds in my country. Too quickly I was submerged in a tangle web of dark forces, conspiracies and intrigue. I never wanted to be king. I never expected to be smack dab in the middle of a dangerous battle between dark global forces and freedom. I never wanted to lose Khloe… But I did all three. My greatest hope is that my perilous gamble proves true: love conquers all.
