Shattered

My name is Savannah Miller. My father is the mayor of New York. One day after my twenty-seventh birthday I was grabbed from behind. A cloth sack was quickly pulled over my head, and I was taken from everything I'd ever known. I was beaten, starved, treated like an animal, and forced to live in a room with no windows. With no sense of time and no dignity left I finally gave up hope and made a promise to myself to end it all. Unfortunately, it was going to be a slow process. Then one night an elite group of US Army soldiers came to my rescue. I was brought to a safe house and given two options: One-Stay under their protection and follow their rules or... Two-Leave and be guaranteed to be returned to the savages within a week. I chose option one. As I work with a therapist and begin processing my hellish ordeal things slowly begin to surface. With the help of new friends and a potential new love I fight to get my life back and make choices that will forever alter my future. This is my story...

Broken

Savannah takes control... Tired of all the lies and deception, Savannah Miller must learn to face life on her own. As she seeks to find out who she really is, she still is still burdened with the fallout from past traumas that left her broken. Her fragile hold on her new life slowly gives her the confidence to move ahead. What she really needs is right in front of her-Cole Logan is patiently waiting for the right moment to prove his love. But her past isn't finished with her yet... Are Savannah's strength and Cole's love enough to vanquish the shadows, or will those who mean them harm succeed in preventing the mending of their shattered souls?

Mended

Emily McPhee has struggled to overcome her father's death... It's not easy, but Emily finally has the life she wants. She's an A student at Orange University and has a comfortable home and a great circle of friends. She's also in love with handsome Orange PD officer Seth Connors. He doesn't seem to return her feelings, though, so she tells herself his friendship is enough. Jimmy Lasko is a psychopath, and Emily is his greatest obsession... Lasko knows what he wants-what he deserves-and has the deadly skills and unending patience to get it. What he wants is Emily, and he is watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. That time is coming soon; he'll make sure of it. A sense of unease settles on Emily, but is the danger real or imagined? When Emily begins hearing noises and suspects someone has been in her house, Seth urges her to get a roommate. But after a search, she realizes a certain attractive cop would be the perfect choice, and Seth moves in. Seth loves Emily, but fears his feelings might make it difficult to protect her. In all areas of his life, Seth sees himself as a protector. He's determined to keep Emily safe, but he pushes the captivating blonde away in an attempt to stay objective. However, after her stalker makes a failed attempt to capture her, Seth can no longer deny his feelings. With help from Seth's police colleagues, he and Emily set out to identify the person hunting her before it's too late. But is it worth the risk to bait the trap with what he wants most?

Darkness Lurks

***BROKEN TRILOGY CONTINUES HERE...***I fell to my knees. Normally, I could block out the pain, but not this time. Something wasn't right... The next thing I knew, I found myself in a North Dakota hospital where things took an unexpected turn... Mia Harper was the new nurse who seemed to know more about me than she should. Yet I couldn't help but flirt with her. She was witty, playful, and her beauty was unmatched. I couldn't get enough. Just when I thought things were looking up, it got weird... Someone returned from my past and flipped my world around. One thing was certain-I'd put my life on the line to keep Mia safe and to finally learn the answer to the question that had haunted me my whole life. What really happened that night twenty-five years ago?

Honor

Emily McPhee is in the clutches of a monster... Despite the protection of her boyfriend Seth Connors and his colleagues with the Orange Police Department, Emily is imprisoned in a basement by her psychopathic stalker Jimmy Lasko. His bizarre behavior adds to her terror, and a video link forces Seth to witness her captivity, leaving him feeling helpless as he, the OPD, and the FBI search for her. Freedom isn't free, and safety is just an illusion... Though Emily escapes the basement, the threat is far from eliminated. In fact, things she learned while being held by Lasko lead her to believe he isn't working alone. Lasko is still out there, determined to get her back, and crazier than ever. If he does have a partner, Emily has no idea where the threat might lie or who she can trust. It's impossible to live a normal life when family ties become tangled. Emily is deeply hurt when Seth is reminded that their relationship might endanger her further and he pulls away again. She's even more frustrated when her globe-trotting mother returns and is charming to everybody...except her own daughter. When Emily meets Seth's family, she loves his mom and little sister, isn't sure what to make of his flirtatious brother-who is also a cop-and finds herself very uneasy around his father, who is a powerful attorney. Sometimes things seem very clear...until you look more closely.

Darkness Follows

Escape the Reaper

More than a year after her ordeal, Emily McPhee finally feels safe... Emily's psychological scars are healing. Things are great between her and OPD Officer Seth Connors, and her biggest problem is the X-rated Halloween decorations her best friend Pete has placed all around her house. If only it would stay that way... Seth senses something isn't right, but he doesn't know where the danger is coming from...or why. He's sure Emily's neighbor, Travis McKay, is hiding something, and the man pays way too much attention to Emily. To make things even more complicated, a new female officer appears to have her sights set on Seth, and fellow officer Alexander Avery has some sort of connection to a mysterious brothel employee. Seth has a feeling all these odd things are somehow connected-but he knows he's missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Pull at a thread and everything unravels. Emily's mother shows up with a surprise and a dirty plan to force her to sell the family home...and Seth's father is proven to be the deceitful monster he always believed him to be. Lasko's tainted past and twisted family ties turn out to be more complex than they ever imagined. Every lie has a consequence, and Seth and Emily need the truth. In order to escape with their lives and their love intact, they must answer one critical question... Who is the real target in this deadly game?

Broken - Anniversary Edition

Rain pelted my face as I pushed through the roar of the storm. Deep in the belly of Mexico, my team and I were on the hunt. One of the cartel's mules flipped and wanted a ticket to freedom. The information they held could be our game-changer. Returning home to a civilian lifestyle was always an adjustment, even if it was temporary. However, a chance encounter with Catalina Mandas made that transition a little bit easier. She was sweet, sexy, feisty, and saw me for who I was. She completely captivated me. But Catalina warned me that we could never be together, that her past and mine could never coexist. Secrets were standing in our way, but I wasn't willing to let her go that easily. Back on a mission, and possibly one of the biggest rescues Blackstone has ever pulled off, I collided with one of my biggest nightmares. And now, two things will be tested... Trust and freedom.

Freedom

Now he has come back into my life like a raging storm surrounded by crime and bloodshed. I no longer need him, but that doesn't mean I don't want him--or just a little taste... Elio Ten years ago, I had to leave behind the only light I had in my life. Without her, I live in darkness. I am not proud of the things I've done, nor the blood that's been shed. Everything I did had been to protect her. We live by our code--family, power, loyalty, and protection. Our empire is built on the bones of our enemies. Now that she is back and we have a second chance, they will learn one way or another you do not touch my queen. Capri Famiglia will rise to the top no matter the cost, bloodshed, or the lines that will have to be blurred.

Sometimes the line between good and bad simply depends which side you're on... Good guys can have unsavory secrets, while so-called criminals can live by a code of ethics rivaling that of any law enforcement agency. Bending the law for money, power, or revenge is one thing, but what if you're bending it for your family-for love? Who would choose to become involved with a man who walks on the dark side... Some men will go to any lengths, legal or not, and make no apologies to protect their way of life and all they hold dear. But you don't always choose who you love, and sometimes you just have to decide if you're bold enough to risk it all and go along for the ride. Thirteen masterful authors come together to present Men of Mayhem. Compelling stories of loyalty and passion, love and lust, in which the moral and ethical lines are blurred, and call into question the notions of right and wrong. What could be more exciting than taking a leap of faith...and landing in the arms of the last man you'd expect-but the only one who truly makes you feel alive? What if your road to happiness leads to... Men of Mayhem
