For Finlay

For Finlay

J. Nathan

Finlay Thatcher is a lost soul, guilt-ridden after the death of her twin brother. When Alabama's football coach gives her the opportunity to work for him, she knows it's her chance to move on, even if it means living her brother's dream.

Caden Brooks is Alabama's star quarterback. He's got it all. The attention of adoring fans. A girlfriend who'd do anything to hold on to him. And a future in the pros. He's getting along just fine until Finlay steps into his life, despising him at first sight and pushing his buttons like no other.

Unfortunately for Finlay, and her attempt to keep Caden at arm's length, there's nothing Caden loves more than a challenge. The problem with this challenge is she comes with a secret that has the power to destroy everything.

This New Adult Romance is book one in the For You standalone series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone as it follows a new couple.

The Rogue Series 1: The Rogue Alpha

Gemma Rue

“You pack wolves all fight the same,” I mock. He’s tall, strong, and an alpha. Even Rogues know not to fight an Alpha. But I’m no regular Rogue.

“Is that so?” His muscles strain against his shirt.

My gaze traces his body. I linger a moment too long. A fist pushes against me. I grab his wrist. We fall with a thud. Our bodies pressed together.

“If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask.”

When fate forces a rogue and alpha together, will they be able to set aside their differences and give love a chance?
