The Wrath of Eli

2019

When Elias Cardoza gets a shot at the world heavyweight title, nobody expects him to win. He's an underdog who has landed this fight by pure luck. But this fighter from the mean streets of Chicago is determined to prove everyone wrong. Harper Lindstrom, a journalist from the local paper, has to shadow him for a month. She's out of her depth in the dirty boxing gym with her manicured nails and perfect hair trying to cover a story in which she has no real interest. Eli despises her on sight. He doesn't need this Princess snooping around the edges of his life, prying into the past he is trying to ease. She's a distraction he can do without. He wants the belt, and she wants the story. What will it be? The Wrath of Eli is a standalone enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance about a broken man and the power of love. It is Book 1 in The Seven Sins, a seven book series of steamy, angsty and emotional stories about a group of characters who are loosely connected.

The Problem with Lust

2019

Sex-Mad Max rushes home for a hookup. Hot Gina's back in town for the next 48 hours, and he has no time to waste. But an unexpected collision with a schoolteacher ruins his plans completely. Trinity Weldon is on her way to the Vet's to pick up her cat, and then her weekly crochet class beckons. Unfortunately, a guy on a bike crashes into the back of her car. He's rude. She's inconvenienced. He offers to fix her car. She agrees (after all, he looks like her favorite Hemsworth.) He'll fix her car, and that will be the end of it, right? It's not that simple. Max's looks could melt her panties. His touch sets her skin on fire. Sometimes his voice is too low, too sexy, and his words too suggestive. He's not like other men. He makes her feel things, makes her want to do things she's never done before... She tries to resist. He tries to hold back. But it's impossible, given the heat of the attraction between this unlikely couple. And that's the problem with lust. It's hard not to give in. THE PROBLEM WITH LUST is a steamy slow burn opposites-attract virgin-meets-bad-boy contemporary romance. It is the second book in The Seven Sins,a new series by Lily Zante. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but all books will be loosely connected.

The Lies of Pride

2020

Nina Cardoza likes her life to be simple; no attention, no drama and no complications. But one night she makes a terrible mistake. She saves a man who is being attacked. Unfortunately, he turns out to be Callum Sandersby, one of Hollywood's hottest movie stars. Callum Sandersby explores the streets of Chicago one night, wanting to get into character for his latest film role. But he ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nina Cardoza doesn't recognize the gorgeous movie star she's just rescued, not with the false beard hanging crazily off his face. But then she sees it - those glittering green eyes, the beautiful mouth. He's handsome and dangerous. And he's the last thing she needs. But Callum has hit the jackpot, especially when he finds out that his rescuer is the sister of the reigning boxing heavyweight champion of the world. He could do with a few pointers to help him with his movie role. And so begins his pursuit of Nina. But she doesn't fall for his lines. Or his moves. Or his interest. Each time he tries to get near, she pushes him away, but over time even he can see behind the lies of pride. THE LIES OF PRIDE is a slow-burn romance. It is the third book in THE SEVEN SINS, a series of angsty, emotional standalone romances.

The Price of Inertia

2020

Ward Maddox has hit a dead end. Or, as it's commonly known in his line of work, writer's block. The reclusive multi-millionaire author has a book to finish but he's only written six pages. His agent isn't too happy and has taken matters into his own hands. A beautiful mansion rented. A housekeeper hired. All Ward has to do is write the next book, but this is easier said than done. Marianne Evers needs money and a break after a hellish week. Her boyfriend cheated on her, she got evicted and she lost her job - the one she needs to help pay for her mom's nursing home costs. But serendipity strikes when she lands a last minute housekeeping contract. The assignment is simple: to be a live-in housekeeper to a man she will barely see. The money is great and she doesn't have to find a place to live. Better still, she can afford to keep her mom in the nice nursing home. All he has to do is write the book. All she has to do is take care of the chores. That's the plan. Until the plan goes horribly wrong. The Price of Inertia is the fourth book in THE SEVEN SINS, a series of angsty, emotional standalone romances.
