About Hard Trigger:

“Your mother’s opiates are coming from Jose Herrera’s distribution network.” My pulse races as my stepfather speaks these words. Because taking on the Herreras also means taking on Diego.

Reckless, and hardened by a volatile past, Victoria does not see a future with Diego Herrera as a realistic option. As their childhood friendship ignites, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody feud between the two most powerful families in Mexico City. And she’s a Moreno now—brought up to be the secret weapon nobody suspected.

But Victoria can’t deny the attraction. Diego’s commanding muscles, the coarse, dark hair of his solid chest, that rugged scar above his sensuous lips…

Loyalty is in the eye of the beholder.

About Lawfully Chosen:

The Roaring 20’s…
Penelope Brown had been tossed to the curb, a victim of the times. The start of the Great Depression had forced her lifestyle to change significantly from what she’d grown accustomed to. She’s now working as a waitress in a small diner instead of seeing picture shows with friends, listening to the radio and living frivolously.

Sheriff William Clarke was tired of the riffraff happening in town. Dallas was a bustling city full of motor cars, hidden speakeasies, and burgeoning outlaws. The world was changing, and it was his job to maintain order. In a struggle to keep the peace, he found himself shutting off his emotions to protect his heart and soul. What he needed now was a sweet, gentle woman in his life to crack through the shell built around him.

When libation, recklessness and wild abandon whirl around all around Penelope, can the promise of excitement and carelessness be even more tempting than her very own handsome Lawkeeper? Will she hold fast to her faith and morals, finding that love can be just as thrilling with fewer consequences? Can she choose to be true to herself and not fall victim to the pressures of the world around her?

Could you give your heart to a man who took everything from you?

Six years ago, celebutante Jenna McCormick lost it all—her parents, her fortune, and her family’s jewelry empire. After the shock wore off, Jenna realized she didn’t need her fortune to be happy. Her life is simpler now—she doesn’t miss the champagne lifestyle she left behind.

Grant Blakely, the youngest black CEO in Las Vegas history, is now at the helm of her father’s jewelry company. Jenna had been over the moon for Grant—until he stole the family business from her. He’s the last person Jenna would ever ask for help, but now she has no choice.

Jenna needs money fast, and when she asks Grant for a job, he sees her as the spoiled brat she was all those years ago. She’s persuasive though, and still sexy as hell. So he hires her—as his assistant. Grant thinks she won’t last a day doing menial tasks for him, but he soon learns that there’s more to Jenna than he ever knew—and this time, she’s not giving up.

A battle of wills soon fans the spark between them into a wildfire—but can Jenna really trust Grant? Or is he just out to humiliate her one last time?
