Inked Brotherhood

At fourteen, Audrey has the perfect life: great parents, great buddies, and her best friend, Asher. Only lately Asher has begun to change. He seems distant and standoffish, ignoring Audrey.Not all of the changes are bad. He's growing from a pretty boy into a handsome man, and Audrey is all too aware of that. But if they cross the line from friends to something more, will things stay the same or will she lose her best friend forever?This is not an erotic story. It is the prequel to the events that unfold in "Asher" and set up many of the characters of the Inked Brotherhood Series.

Almost three years ago, a car crash took Audrey's dad and scarred her for life. Now 18, she returns to her hometown for the first time after the accident. She's here to start again. Go to college and have fun. Make new friends. Get over the past. But the past won't let go. Asher is here - her first kiss, her first heartbreak. More handsome and distant than ever, he's still the boy who used to be her best friend. That was before he changed into someone she hardly knows anymore - the boy who started getting into fights and gave her the cold shoulder for years. Asher isn't what she needs. In fact, she hates him and should try her best to keep away from him. Yet her body doesn't seem to care about how she feels, and maybe, just maybe this time her body got it right. Not that she has much of a choice. Asher draws her like a bright flame, and if she isn't careful, she'll burn. And that may not be such a bad thing after all.... Standalone novel. No cliffhanger.

Four years have passed since I left home, my parents, and my brother Asher behind - since I shut out my past. And Erin. Four years since I last saw her, since I heard her voice and held her in my arms. I've spent my time forging a path from woman to woman, from bed to bed, trying to find an answer. But I think I've lost my way. There's no light at the end of the dark. No big surprise. I carry the dark inside me. I'm a bastard - branded as such from the start. I never give my phone number and address. I take my pleasure, and don't come back for seconds. No commitments, no promises, and no happy endings. Yeah, I'm a bastard down to the bone and I don't give a damn. But now I'm back in my birth town, the town I fled at 18 - back to make amends to the brother I abandoned and watch from afar the only girl I've ever wanted. Hope isn't a currency I can afford. I learned that lesson long ago. Yet when she looks at me and says my name, I can't help but hope. Stand-alone novel. No cliff-hanger. Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence.

They call me Zen-man, the cool-headed one, the protector. I keep an eye out for everyone, take them in, find them homes. They think I'm the calm and collected one, the self-assured one, the one who knows the way. They think they see me. They think they know me. But they're all wrong, because inside I'm broken. I have a jagged hole in my soul I can't fix, a festering blackness. I've been to the pits of hell, and nobody comes back unscathed. Life in foster care fucked me up, and now a thread is all that's holding me together. So I sleep around and never date, keeping chicks away. One day I'll snap, and when I do, there's no telling who I might take down with me. All the same, there's this one girl who won't be scared away. Dakota. She's hot, and I won't deny I want her. But she keeps coming back, pushing me, trying to get me to talk, to open up to her. She has no idea she's playing with fire. When the demons come, she'd better be far away from me, just like everyone else. Stand-alone novel. No cliff-hanger. Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature listeners only. Not intended for young listeners. Bonus! Includes What I Want for Christmas, a Zane and Dakota short story.

You've tried your best for years and never managed to please your demanding parents. You've fallen head over heels for someone who keeps ignoring you. You've hit rock bottom. Tessa is close to giving up on her authoritative parents and their demands, on her studies, and on everything in her life, including Dylan. He is the one boy she has loved since she can remember, the one who dated her and promised her forever when they were 14 and then dumped her without an explanation, only to ignore her ever since. He is the one who shows up to save her from violence before the stroke of midnight, who kisses her and holds her close, only to tell her in the course of the same night that he doesn't love her. Tessa knows Dylan has gone through some tough times, and they're only getting tougher. Is he telling the truth about his lack of feelings for her, or is he running from his own demons? The way Tessa sees it, she has two options: run away and leave it all behind, or stay to fight against her controlling family and win back Dylan. She has a feeling he needs her. How can she leave when he's the only man who's ever made her feel alive? This is a stand-alone story without a cliff-hanger. Warning: This book contains graphic language, sex, and violence.

His name is Rafaele Vestri, Rafe to his friends. He's tall, strong, handsome. Distant. He often comes to the coffee shop where I work, but we don't talk much. He looks at me, though. Stares at me, his gaze heated, and I can't help but stare back. I want him, I won't deny it. I've never seen anyone that beautiful, anyone that powerful, in my life. But he's growing more withdrawn by the day. Something's up, and he won't tell. I know about his past - the murder of his family when he was 15. I can imagine how much it must have cost him. So much violence contained in that strong body, waiting to be unleashed. What is he seeking? What is he training so hard for? Why is he looking at me like he's dying to touch me, but won't dare? Even as I try to stop thinking about him, get interested in other boys, I realize I can't. I'm caught, body and soul, just like that. And I tell myself, Megan, girl..."What have you gotten yourself into this time?" Stand-alone novel. No cliff-hanger. Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence.

Five brothers in all but blood, five girls who love them, emerging from a past fraught with darkness and danger. There are wedding bells, and baby cries and laughter all around. They have found their happy ending. Only one cloud is marring these blue skies, and it has to do with Zane, the rock of the brotherhood. Nobody knows exactly what is wrong, but here's the thing, folks: There are five of us, and we stand all for one and one for all. If you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. We protect our own. And Zane is more than one of our own. He's our leader. He's our steady center. If our center shatters, we all shatter. This Brotherhood is strong. We're gonna find out what troubles him and put it to rest, once and for all, bury it, stomp on it, crush it, until it's fixed or gone. Time we celebrated our happy ending. Note: Inked Babies is not a stand-alone. It is the epilogue to the Inked Brotherhood series. It is, however, a full-length novel with a happy ending. Warning for some dark themes.
