She needed help…
He needed to begin again.
Single mom Indya Linares has always been Ms. Independent—especially when her family’s hurricane-ravaged resort is at stake. But when Indya’s boat breaks down at sea, she’s forced to accept help from a handsome stranger who immediately makes her heart beat faster. Who would have imagined that he’s also her stubborn mother’s pick for a new facilities manager extraordinaire? After Santiago Pereira left Venezuela to begin again in Soledad Bay, he’s got something to prove to his family…and a mission to bring his daughter back to him. But when Santi just can’t stop thinking about his new boss, will hospitality take on a new meaning for them both?
She’s the roller derby captain and her newest rival is her very own teammate.
There are only three things that get under Madeline Maddox’s skin: defeat, disorder, and disruption, especially when it comes to her carefully curated life and her roller derby team. Because no one outskates Mad Maddox—that is, until a cocky little jammer blows back into her hometown wreaking havoc into all her plans.
Vera Havik is mayhem, she’s chaos, she’s everything Madeline despises.
Madeline is set on making their time on the track together a rink-rash-filled nightmare, pushing through Vera's defenses like a bad block. That’s when she learns the heavy secret the world-famous jammer is hiding. Everything’s off-track now, including their hearts.
The fine line between love and hatred can be crushed, snorted, or injected…
But it can’t be ignored.
Rink Rash is a Stand alone sapphic sports romance previously published under the title False Start: A roller derby romance, character names, background and descriptions have since changed for a better reader experience.
Lisette Grace is struggling to believe in herself.
Jackson Jones can’t afford to lose control.
She’s a recovering addict, fighting to stay clean.
He’s a single dad, desperate to help his daughter succeed.
When an unexpected chance to tutor his daughter, Isabelle, comes her way, Lisette finds a purpose she thought she’d lost.
Jackson knows getting close to Lisette is a bad idea. She’s his best friend’s sister, and Sire made it clear she’s off-limits.
But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore what’s growing between them.
For the first time in years, Jackson and Isabelle have given Lisette something to fight for—someone who believes in her, even when she struggles to believe in herself.
But love isn’t always enough.
Pondering Reflections: Healing Greek Latinx Poetry
The pond might look innocent at first glance, but its power is hidden within, but also by the haunting of its Witch. Her female rage has been shared. The poems in this book PONDERING REFLECTIONS will focus on the witch’s life and what she wishes could happen. It will lead you to reflect on your life.
If you could go back in time but couldn’t interact (unlike Alice in the TV show The Way Home) and only observe, would you do it? What would you do differently in your present life? Are there past loves that you wish to reflect on? Are there challenges you wish you could have overcome better? Are you still dealing with health challenges?
Let's jump into the pond and evolve through reflections. Sometimes the only thing you can do to move forward is reflect on the past. But don't stay there too long otherwise you will never move forward to the future. Remember you can move through time with a jump in the pond.
Every time she turns around, there's another confusingly hot monster in her life.
Ever since Mari inherited her father's criminal empire, she's been collecting monstrous enemies and lovers in equal number. The latter is great, but the former is beginning to pose a problem.
When a demon she can't remember—from a past she can't forget—arrives, smelling like smoke and sin, she can't recall whether he's friend or foe. She may not be able to figure it out without confronting the memories of the ritual that kindled the power within her she's been avoiding for so long.
Even though her instincts are screaming for her to put her faith in this newcomer, odds are better than good that he's trying to steal her power and take over the city she's been struggling to keep control over—and the odds should never be ignored in Sin City.
In addition to the complication of Mari's new visitor, there's yet another terrifying creature after them; this one bent on revenge for his banishment at the hands of her father. He won't stop until Las Vegas is in ruins and he lays claim to the nexus of power beneath it.
Hers to Keep is the scorching third book in a series that explores the intimate lives of the paranormal denizens of Sin City. If you enjoy spicy, fast burns with a side of action, a sassy heroine discovering her power, and partners who love to share, this book is for you.
This is the final installment of the story of Mari and her monster boyfriends taking over the paranormal Vegas underworld, but fear not; stories from this world will continue on.

She twirls over a pointe, majestic and irresistible, translating her pain into art.
I watch her every day from the shadows, waiting for the time to strike.
One move to the next, she’s a star, my Marcella.
My brother says I’m obsessed that I shouldn’t desire her as much as I do. Only he knows the kind of monster I am, but now it’s too late for salvation.
𝑆ℎ𝑒’𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒.
He watches me with narrowed eyes, trying to protect her from me. If I’m bad, he’s not much better. The right thing to do is to walk away, both of us, but we were never experts on doing the right thing.
𝑇𝑜 𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟, ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠.𝑇𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟, 𝐼 𝑙𝑖𝑒.
We wrap our little star in a web of deception. She has no idea what lengths we will go to take what we want. By the time she understands, it’s already too late...
