13 Rules for Fantastic Phone Sex
Kaitlin MacGregor has rules—thirteen of them, to be exact. They keep the money rolling in for grad-school and her heart safely out of the hands of the men who call her at night looking for release.
She gives them aliens, zombies, and whatever dirty fantasy they pay for… all while keeping herself firmly off-limits.
Then Henry Sterling calls.
He isn’t looking for phone sex. He’s looking for sleep.
But his voice—low, tired, and sexy—slips under Kait’s skin in a way no caller ever has. One rule breaks. Then another. Soon Kait’s the one breathless, tangled in sheets, letting a man she’s never met ruin her discipline with nothing but words.
Henry knows he should hang up. He’s an exhausted high-flying lawyer with no business craving the woman who makes him fall apart at 2 a.m. But Kait’s laugh, her heat, her unexpected sweetness? She’s addictive.
The chemistry is obscene. The boundaries are shot.
And pretend?
Pretend is starting to feel dangerously, deliciously real.
Because when the rules break… they both do.
12 Lies I Told My Best Friend
Jessica Hunter makes a living stripping men of their power—bending them, effortlessly, to her will.
Control is a language—and she's fluent.
She understands desire, emotional leverage, and exactly how to dismantle a man without ever touching him. What she refuses to be is a woman who plays emotional games—or an instrument of change.
Badly burned, Julian Grosvenor believes in the rule of one.
One night. One time only.
Romance is a game he refuses to play. Promises are lies waiting to be broken. Wanting more is how people get hurt. He is immune to beautiful, intelligent women who refuse to play games.
Until he isn't.
They secretly align to save their best friends from the ruins of their true love. Their success becomes a punishment when Julian is named best man and Jessica maid of honor. They're thrown together relentlessly: an engagement party thick with tension, a bachelor and bachelorette weekend in Vegas where temptation presses too close, and a wedding in Ireland that leaves no room to breathe—or escape.
Every shared moment sharpens the need they deny.
Until boundaries bend.
Until he wants a second.
A third.
All the repeats.
Jessica doesn't manipulate him. She doesn't steer. She simply sees him—and that shakes him to his core. Julian feels the want settle deep and low, until it's no longer about control, but desperate restraint.
Because wanting Jessica isn't casual.
It isn't safe.
This is everything he isn't willing to share—and she is everything he's ever wanted.
As distance disappears and tension turns electric, both are forced to confront the cost of denial. Jessica must decide what happens when desire isn't weaponized. Julian must choose if reaching for the one thing he's always sworn he never wants again—love—is worth the risk.
12 Lies I Told My Best Friend is a romance about temptation, forced proximity, emotional restraint, and what happens when two people who refuse to believe in love are undone by it.
Golden Boy
In a town that worships its sheriff, everyone knows Peter Wells as the Golden Boy—upright, untouchable, and perfect in uniform.
Only Lachlan Sterling knows the truth.
Lachlan is the town doctor, newly married, and trying to make it home when flashing blue lights pull him over on a dark rural highway. What should be a routine traffic stop turns into something far more dangerous and intimate—because Pete has always known how to take what he wants from Lachlan, and Lachlan has never learned how to say no.
Their history stretches back to childhood: shared cribs, whispered confessions, stolen moments, and a love that survived separation, secrecy, and one devastating attempt to let go. In the shadows of cornfields and behind the glare of patrol lights, they collide again—power, desire, and devotion tangled in ways neither of them has ever escaped.
Golden Boy is an 11,000-word raw, erotic MM romance about control and surrender, first love that never let go, and the kind of devotion that refuses to stay buried.
11 Reasons Why Love is Stupid
Schuyler Sterling is a romance editor who believes two things with absolute certainty:
love stories should make sense—and dukes are stupid.
He makes the mistake of saying the second part out loud during a live, international broadcast in front of romance writers from around the world.
The response is swift and nearly silent.
Schuyler is banished to a remote Canadian island, exiled to a solitary cabin meant to keep him contained, forgotten, and very far away from aristocracy. A place for penance—not temptation.
Except the retreat isn't empty.
Unbeknownst to Sky, William Alexander Belgrave Grosvenor—Becks—is the Viscount Beckettsworth and future Duke of Canterbury, and promised to the daughter of a rich and powerful family. His future is sealed. Desire is a luxury he was never meant to indulge.
Forced proximity strips away restraint fast.
Shared space becomes charged. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental brush feels deliberate. Cut off from the world that owns him, Becks begins to crave what he can't have. Schuyler finds himself wanting a man who already belongs to another life—badly.
This isn't attraction.
It's inevitability—and desire that asks for everything.
When duty demands obedience, love becomes a risk.
11 Reasons Why Love Is Stupid is an MM romance about forced proximity in a remote cabin, forbidden desire, class divides, an arranged marriage standing in the way, and choosing love over legacy when the cost is everything you were raised to protect.

And Killian lets him.
He waits while Charlie goes to work, telling himself he can live with the ache, the jealousy, the quiet devastation of knowing exactly what Charlie is doing—and choosing to stay anyway.
