Elusive Nicky McKenzie. Lucien had never calculated on meeting, let alone desiring, a woman like Nicky McKenzie. The woman he now wants in his bed, no holds barred. The woman he can't seem to forget. But also, he discovers too late, the one woman capable of bringing his violent past crashing down about his ears...Nicky McKenzie just wants to live her life in quiet obscurity. Unnoticed. Invisible. And for five years she had succeeded in doing exactly that. Until Lucien Wynter...Cold. Compelling. Ruthless Lucien Wynter. Was it chance the two of them had met, or just the cruelty of fate? Whichever it was, the desire between Lucien and Nicky is instant. Explosive. Unforgettable.

Secrets that, once told, could destroy them both. Author's Note: The novellas and full-length novels in the ALPHA series have sexier situations and stronger language than my other books.

Kat has given up hope of being rescued from the hell in which she's been incarcerated for weeks. The arrival of Dair Grayson changes all that. But Dair is no longer that devil-may-care teenager she remembers from so long ago, but has become a hardened and scarred warrior.

On the run from Kat's ex-husband, the two of them are thrown together constantly, and Dair finds it harder and harder to resist this hot and sexy grown-up Kat.

Kat doesn't want forever either, she's only interested in the here and now. And what she wants now is Dair, and for the two of them to satisfy the hot and explosive sexual tension between them until it's time for her to start running again. The only problem is, Kat's ex-husband is now looking for both of them...Author Note-The novellas and full-length novels in the ALPHA series have sexier situations and stronger language than my other books.

Author's Note: The stories in the Alpha Series are steaming hot and the language sometimes explicit. Who does Lily go to for help when a fan's admiration turns to a dangerous obsession? Her four older brothers are the obvious choice, especially when they own and run Knight Security. But Lily has fought long and hard for her independence from her family, and for her career as an actress. She certainly doesn't want one of her brothers-or possibly all four of them-wading in with their usual arrogance and taking over her life again. But as the fan's obsession becomes darker, the "gifts" more bizarre, Lily knows she has no choice. The last thing Jonas Grayfeather wants it to accept a job protecting the spoilt sister of the Knight brothers. But Gabriel, the eldest brother, and the man who once saved Jonas's life, is calling in that favor, and so leaving Jonas with no choice but to at least check into whether or not Lily Knight really is being stalked. A single meeting with Lily, and Jonas knows she's going to be even more of a pain in his ass than any of her four overbearing brothers has ever been. She's outspoken, annoying, and so stubborn Jonas's first instinct is to put her over his knee, and give her the spanking she obviously should have received as a child. She's also wild and beautiful, sexy as hell, and arouses him with just a glance of those sexy green eyes. Whether they like it or not, the attraction is mutual, and the desire quickly blazes out of control between the two of them. But Lily's reckless disregard for Jonas's efforts to protect her, may result in one or both of them ending up dead. If they don't kill each other with passion first...
