Filthy Punk

Saint Bryde

Neve Bellemere couldn’t care less about bad boy Dominic, even if they used to be friends. He’s everything she’s been warned against…and everything she secretly desires.

Dominic Harrods is over Neve. He’d love nothing more than to pull her down from the prissy, I’m-too-good-for-you perch she’s been sitting on. And he could think of a few ways to do that . . .

A chance encounter—and a surprising revelation—would never change how they feel about one another. Or would it?

Arri Stone

Lacey lives and breathes hockey. As coach and manager of the Red Tornados, she’s fighting to keep the season—and her team—alive. Desperate for a turnaround, she brings in Riley: a legendary player with a reputation for trouble and a temper as sharp as his skating. He’s exactly what they need… and exactly what she doesn’t. Working together should be about saving the Tornados, but the rink turns tension into temptation. Between brutal practices, stubborn pride, and chemistry neither can outrun, Lacey and Riley skate a dangerous line between strategy and desire. Winning is the goal—unless they lose their hearts first.

“If you think I’m going to let you walk in here like a free agent, you’re hardly mistaken,” Owen says, looking down at me.

I clear my throat. “What do you want?”

He leans his head toward me until our lips are close to one another. “A kiss.”

Taylor Walker’s life is simple, and she’s happy with her boyfriend—until cracks in their relationship start to show. Meanwhile, her new neighbor, Owen Blake, is cold, aloof, and anything but friendly. Determined to break through his tough exterior, Taylor’s curiosity clashes with Owen’s desire to keep his distance. But when unexpected circumstances force her to rely on him, their dynamic takes a heated turn. Owen has his own conditions for helping her, leaving Taylor to question everything she thought she knew about love and desire. Can she handle the sparks between them, or will she get burned?

In a town that never forgets, two broken lives begin to fit together awkwardly, tenderly, dangerously. As old ghosts return, Jason and Bryce discover that love can be a slow burn—and home isn’t always a place, sometimes it’s the person beside you.

As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah's instincts tell her it's the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core. Thrust into a troubled past she's tried to shut the door on, Lilah's back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord's son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah's own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?
