Handsome and charming Rick Monroe is like no man Nolan has ever met. Nolan is drawn to Rick with an undeniable pull he never bothers to question until Cam jealously accuses Rick of wanting more from Nolan than just friendship.

Can Nolan put the opposite sex behind him and embrace the love of an older man? Maybe, but not if Cam has anything to say about it.

A billionaire CEO with an unruly daughter. A damaged ballerina who is penniless and nearly homeless. The tantalizing, unbeatable offer he makes to her to be his nanny. There are some problems that all my money can’t solve. I’m the CEO of my company, the man in charge of a thousand different projects. And yet no matter how many billions I earn, I can’t make my petulant daughter behave. When I meet beautiful, graceful former ballerina Ella, she’s put forward as a solution to my problem. She says she’s about to be homeless and she’s good with kids. Because she needs a job immediately, she’ll work for cheap. The trouble is, once I bring her to live at my remote estate, I can’t stop thinking about how much I would like to make her moan. For the first time since I left my ex, I’m tempted by someone new. Not only am I so much older than Ella, but she’s my daughter’s nanny. She is strictly off limits and forbidden. And because of my job and family, I am under near-constant public scrutiny. I’m a billionaire single dad. She’s a young woman with nowhere to go. We have no future together. But there is something about Ella that I just can’t walk away from. I want her in the worst kind of way. Just a taste… that’ll be enough. Right? If you love off limits, forbidden single dad-nanny romances, moonlit nights at remote Scottish castles, and billionaire men deceiving everyone to get the woman they fall in love with, this book is made for you! It's the first of three books in a lavish, decadent, sizzlingly hot trilogy and features no cheating + an (eventual) HEA.

But unlike my father, I’m going to play with my prey first. ** Roommates is a dark sapphic romance where there is no tension between the couple.

When her new job takes her to a New England boarding school, she’s surprised to find her roommates are all men – including a very handsome one who plays by his own rules. Sophie Doyle has her dream job as the head athletic trainer for her favorite baseball team (go Red Sox!), a handsome boyfriend, and easy access to the finest cannoli in Boston. When she loses all three and the World Series to boot, she’s forced to apply for the open trainer position at an arts-focused boarding school in New Hampshire. The only available room is a glorified closet in an apartment with three guys: Jonas Voss, the aloof and attractive orchestra teacher, and his two rambunctious roommates. Sophie knows that training a bunch of privileged high school kids whose idea of a play is A Chorus Line instead of a walk-off homer is going to be a big change from the pro athletes she’s used to. She wasn’t expecting that these students would have big-time talent and even bigger-time problems. Sophie has troubles of her own—Jonas is a full-fledged grump who clearly doesn’t want her near him or the precious piano he never plays. With sunny optimism, Sophie sets out to win over Jonas and help the kids she’s growing attached to. But when her relationship with Jonas moves to the major leagues and plans change at the end of the season, they have to choose whether they are playing for keeps.

Silver Medal Winner in the Grief/Grieving category of the 2015 Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards A unique collection of 33 narratives by bereaved students and young adults, this books aims to help young adults who are grieving and provide guidance for those who seek to support them. Grieving the death of a loved one is difficult at any age, but it can be particularly difficult during college and young adulthood. From developing a sense of identity to living away from family and adjusting to life on and off campus, college students and young adults face a unique set of issues. These issues often make it difficult for young adults to talk about their loss, leading to a sense of isolation, different-ness and a pressure to pretend that everything is OK. The narratives included in this book are honest, engaging and heartfelt, and they help other students and young people know that they are not alone and that there are others who 'get' what they are going through. The narratives are usefully divided by themes, such as isolation, forced maturity and life transition challenges, and include commentary by the authors on grief responses and coping strategies. Each section also ends with helpful questions for reflection. Inspired by the experiences of Dr. Fajgenbaum losing his mother during college and Dr. Servaty-Seib dedicating her career to college student bereavement, this book will be a lifeline for students and young adults who have lost a loved one. It will also be of immeasurable value to counselors, college administrators, grief professionals and parents.
