From internationally bestselling author K.A. Tucker comes the dark and steamy Empire Nightclub series.

One visit to my father in prison—convicted for a murder he didn’t commit—and I’ve attracted the attention of the last man I’d ever want knowing that I exist.

Gabriel Easton.

Son of an infamous crime boss. Deplorable womanizer. Scoundrel to the core.

Worse, he has figured out how desperate I am to protect my father from brutality behind bars. He has the power to grant that protection, and he has offered it … for a price.

I'll do anything for my father, including agree to Gabriel's cruel game. But I won't comply with his every whim and wish.

Unfortunately for me, I think my loathing for him is what he’s enjoying most.

That's fine. By the time I’m through with him, he’ll be crying my name.

HE BROKE HER HEART WITH ONE SENTENCE. NOW HE HAS TO PROVE SHE’S THE ONLY FINISH LINE THAT MATTERS.

After one overheard conversation, Christin Porter realizes being in love isn’t crossing a finish line.

As one of the top software engineers in the country, Christin built her career system by system, proving she belonged in a world that rarely handed women respect. But when she overhears her boyfriend, Formula One race car driver Leo Hawthorne, dismiss her as someone too ordinary for his life, it’s a pain that cuts deep.

Especially because earlier that morning they had shared avowals of love.

Determined to leave the sting of his words behind, Christin throws herself into work when the company she works for lands a massive contract with Apex Orion Racing. There’s just one hitch. She’s been assigned to it. Plus, her new assignment will require her to work directly with Leo.

Before living in the fast lane, Leo spent his life outrunning love because he knows the only way he’ll earn it is by being perfect. Something he knows he isn’t. But beneath the fame and speed is a man carrying secrets far heavier than a trophy. The more time he spends with Christin, the more he realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life.

Because Christin is brilliant, fierce, and impossible to ignore.

Long days on the track turn into quiet conversations. Stolen glances become heated. And somewhere between telemetry reports, dangerous speeds, and racing around the world, Leo discovers there’s one thing he wants more than winning championships.

Her.

But when the ghosts of Leo’s past threaten to destroy everything, will Leo finally fight for the woman who captured his heart? Or will his fears break them both apart?

Audiobook Narrated by: @therealaustinstone & @offmicandi

It was a terrible idea to agree to move in with my best friend’s little sister…

She is everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.

As our motorcycle club’s Vice President, I’m charged with her protection.

Touching her would be a penalty subject to death.

When she demands the chance to spread her wings, it’s my duty to go with her.

I knew staying at her new apartment would be excruciating.

Listening to her in her room and imagining her under the fall of the shower.

But when she asks me to crawl into bed with her so she won’t feel so alone, there’s nothing I can do.

One brush of her hand and I’m crumbling.

One crook of those fingers and I’m trapped.

One reckless night and there’s no going back.

Only with the lives we lead, our enemies are never far away, and as she begins to receive threats, I’m in a race to end the threat before it’s too late.

Soon, our secrets unravel, and I’m faced with the consequence of loving her.

But I promised her everything, and I’m willing to offer the greatest sacrifice.

Narrated by: @lance.greenfield & @savannahpeachwood with a special appearance by @narratedbyteddyhamilton

A spicy, angsty, slow-burn F1 academy romance about fast cars, forbidden attraction, and family secrets from USA Today bestselling author Piper Lawson.

Shay MacDonald was raised to avoid two things: race cars and the Ashford family. But when an injury puts her mechanic father on bedrest, she vows to save his career by covertly covering his shifts at the Ashford garage and enrolling at Ashford Academy—an elite school that trains aspiring drivers and engineers, like herself, for the lucrative F1 circuit.

Keeping a low profile is out of the question when she has a run-in with the Ashford brothers on day one. Theo and Jameson are racing royalty who know they can get away with anything. Theo, the charming and reckless playboy, tempts her to break every rule, while Jameson, the brilliant prodigy, unsettles her with a cold intensity that cuts deeper than she expects.

Shay will always be the adopted daughter of a mechanic, trying to survive unnoticed in a world that was never meant for her. But Theo and Jameson’s only reprieve from their father’s sky-high expectations is Shay. She’s a shiny new pawn in their old rivalry—or a prize worth risking everything for.

When a competition to work on the F1 circuit brings her further into their orbit, Shay is forced to work harder to protect her secrets. But the deeper she’s pulled into the world of the rich and famous Ashfords, the more she realizes everyone is keeping secrets.

Secrets that could shatter her past, her future…and her heart.

Narrated by: @narratedbyteddyhamilton & @shiloh_james_narrator

An undercover cop. A mobster’s daughter. The best love stories start with a lie in this funny, emotional, suspenseful rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe.

Valentina Cordone doesn’t need a prince—she’s got a thriving bagel-and-book shop in Nashville, game nights with her quirky crew, and a perfectly good life. But when her attractive new neighbor shows up with effortless charm and an award-winning smile, she starts to reconsider.

Detective Shane Maddox went undercover to surveil a mob boss’s daughter. What he didn’t expect? That she’d be a lovable ray of sunshine, nothing like the crime princess he imagined. He planned to get close but walk away untouched. Instead, he’s falling hard…and realizing she’s in more danger than she knows.

Torn between duty and desire, Shane keeps his identity secret while protecting Valentina from her family’s criminal empire. As the truth explodes, he must prove his love is real while keeping her alive—no small feat when she won’t take his calls.

Even though the prince is a liar, he can’t risk losing his princess.

Sometimes fairy tales don’t start with once upon a time. They start with once upon a lie.

Holden

She’s my rival. My obsession. My ruin.

I told myself Rowan Rothschild was nothing more than the enemy across the boardroom table.

But the longer our worlds collide, the harder it is to remember which battles are worth winning.

Now she’s the woman I can’t stay away from, even when the cost might be everything I’ve worked years for.

Rowan

The company. The inheritance. The family name.

I’ve fought to protect it all from Holden Knight, but nothing prepared me to face him again.

Every look, every touch, every ruthless move he makes drags me deeper back into him.

The line between love and hate has never been thinner.

And this time, falling for him could destroy us both.

MAFIA. COWBOYS. RIVAL FAMILIES. An explosive arranged marriage!

Gianna

I was raised to become a leader. I promised my father I’d do whatever it takes to forge my legacy.

So I forced one of the most powerful mafia families into an alliance- and now I’m trapped on a ranch with a grumpy cowboy for a husband.

I’ve spent my life manipulating and killing my way to power, and I’ve found the one man that won’t work on.

Colten Sterling.

He thinks I’m nothing but a mafia princess sent to destroy his family. He’s not wrong. That’s the mission I was sent on.

What he doesn’t know is that I’m done being a pawn.

He brings out a side of me I never knew could exist. A happy version. And I finally learn what true love really means.

But, it’s better that he remains thinking the worst of me.

After all, monsters don’t raise daughters to love. They raise them to betray.

Except the longer I live on Sterling Ranch, the harder it gets to remember which family I’m fighting for— and which man I’m supposed to ruin.

Because Colten won’t give up on me. He looks past my scars and fights for my heart.

I’m no longer just a princess. I’m the Queen of this empire and now that I’ve found my King… we’re coming for it all.

Colten

My purpose in life is two things: protecting Sterling ranch and eliminating anyone who threatens my family.

Until I’m forced to make a deal with a devil in high heels and red lipstick.

Gianna Milano is devious, dangerous and devastatingly beautiful.

And now, my wife.

I know I’m just a stepping stone to her ultimate goal: taking over her family empire.

What I didn’t expect was to fall so hard for her.

She didn’t just take my last name, my viper stole my heart.

But when Gianna is handed the keys to the kingdom she’s spent her life fighting for, everything changes.

I vowed to make her regret ever saying I do, but as enemies start closing in, I find myself making another promise: to never let anyone hurt her ever again.

I’m prepared to lose everything if it means Gianna gets another shot at life.

Tropes include:

Cowboy x Mafia

Arranged Marriage

Rivals to lovers

Romantic Suspense

Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibes

An FMC in power

Unchained is a dark mafia x cowboy romance, part of the bestselling Beneath The Reign series. This can be read as a standalone.

Audiobook Narrated by: @hannahchiclana & @awordwithwes

An addicting small town, single dad, grumpy x sunshine, fake fiancé romance.

My first mistake was kissing a hot cowboy.

My second was agreeing to be his fake fiancée to save his handsome hide in a custody battle.

My third…well, there’s still time…

Single dad Luke Reilly doesn’t trust women who leave for greener pastures. He’s fiercely protective of his four-year-old son and even more protective of his own heart.

But then he met me, or more accurately, my lips…

I’m a free-spirited city gal, newly unemployed and in desperate need for an adventure. Between renovating the dilapidated ranch I inherited with my sisters, the last thing I need is a broody cowboy, even if he is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But when Luke asks me for a quick favor: block him from view of his vindictive ex, I do one better and plant a kiss right on his lips.

His response? Introducing me as his fiancée. Now I’m fake-engaged to a grumpy single dad who seems more irritated by me than grateful for the favor.

But his little boy wins me over, and long afternoons of babysitting lead to longer nights of getting to know Luke Reilly. Photo shoots and fake kisses to document our “relationship” start to feel dangerously real.

Pretty soon, my body can’t tell the difference–and neither can my heart.

When the call of a fresh adventure beckons, I’m tempted to protect myself and leave this town in the dust.

Because I think I’ve just made my third mistake—falling hopelessly in love.

BREAKAWAY BET is an emotional and spicy pro hockey standalone romance with a virgin heroine and an accidental Vegas wedding to her brother’s sworn enemy from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Author Lisa Suzanne.

Waking up with a ring on my finger and a professional hockey player in my bed was not on my Vegas itinerary. Especially since that hockey player is Vegas Vengeance superstar Cash Maddox, my brother’s sworn enemy.

But maybe he’s exactly the kind of reckless choice I need.

I’m the youngest Bradley…sheltered, overprotected, and, yes, still a virgin. He’s an experienced bad boy a decade older than me. But a white dress and too much tequila lead us straight to a wedding chapel I don’t remember visiting.

When the hangover wears off, I realize this is my chance to break away from my family’s constant hovering. We agree to two simple rules: pretend we’re happily married, and don’t let feelings get involved.

Except Cash makes pretending a little too easy. Behind his cocky smirk is a fiercely protective, thoughtful man who inspires me to take risks. Every heated glance and stolen touch leaves me aching for him to be my first.

I was only supposed to stay married to him. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him.

But the more I hear Cash call me his wife, the more I want it to be real.

Until the secret he’s keeping catches up with us.

And when I discover the truth, all bets are off.

Audiobook Narrated by: @readbythefox & Vanessa Edwin

Waking up married in Vegas? Not exactly part of the plan.

Especially when the groom is Jax Wilder—Chicago Railers hockey star, shameless flirt, and the most infuriating man I’ve ever met.

I want an annulment.

He wants to stay married.

But with custody of my younger siblings on the line, a stable home—and a husband—might be exactly what I need to keep us together.

Jax offers me a deal: stay married, move into his penthouse, and let him help until everything is settled.

It’s only temporary.

Except Jax doesn’t just make room for me. He makes room for all of us.

And somewhere between family dinners, late nights, and sharing a bed with the husband I never wanted, our marriage starts feeling dangerously real.

Falling for my husband was never part of the plan. Neither was wanting to keep him.

Give Me Tonight is an enemies-to-lovers, Vegas wedding, pro hockey romance featuring a golden retriever hero who falls first—and a black cat heroine who’s spent her whole life standing on her own. He’s determined to prove he’s in it for the long haul… even if she’s terrified to believe him.

Love is patient. Love is kind.

Love leaves no witnesses behind...

I’m a killer who hunts killers. And despite my therapist calling it an “antisocial personality disorder”—I mean, God forbid a girl have hobbies—I have a pretty good thing going.


Until he steps on my turf.

Damiano Barone is a control freak with a stick so far up his rectum it’s practically load-bearing. A cold, criminally gorgeous rule-master with a body built for war and a gift for making me even stabbier than usual.

Honestly, that’s almost impressive.

But when we—allegedly—kill the heir to a vicious mafia king and both our families end up in the crosshairs, there’s only one way to ensure neither side stands alone:
Marriage.

To Damiano.

Because apparently nothing fixes a disaster like shackling two blood-soaked homicidal enemies together and hoping for the best.

Our vows are supposed to mean mutual protection. Instead, there’s a decent chance one of us ends up dismembered or dissolved in acid before anyone gets around to asking about honeymoon plans.

Damiano thinks a ring on my finger means he can control me. That I’ll behave. Follow his rules. Be his dutiful, obedient little wife.

How cute.

He has rules.

I have knives.

Because you know what they say: something borrowed, something blue. Someone buried if he tells me what to do.

And all’s fair in love and gore.

The Carnage We Keep is a fully standalone dark mafia romance. No previous books in the Jagger Cole Universe need to be read before diving into this book or series. Readers are HIGHLY advised to read the TW inside.

I don’t believe in love. He’s willing to burn down the world to win my heart. I never expected him to succeed.

The evening that scarred me and altered my life’s path.

I was left shattered and haunted by who I’d never be and what I’d never have.

Now, they call me the forbidden one.

Closed off. Guarded. Surrounded by affection, but unwilling to love anyone besides my family.

More than I’ve wanted with any other man.

Moments that will overshadow the darkest ones.

Troy Wolf is everything I’m not looking for.

Everything I don’t want.

And yet he’s everything I need.

There’s just one problem …

I’ve been secretly texting my brother’s best friend for two years, and I knew the first time that we’d crossed a line we couldn’t uncross.

It isn’t the first secret Fowler Briggs and I shared.

When my father turned me away at sixteen, Fowler drove three hours to get me and never told a soul. That night, I promised myself no one would ever get close enough to hurt me again.

Fowler was safe. He was a thousand miles away, on the other end of two years’ worth of Saturday night calls.

Until the life I’d built in Nashville started closing in, and I did what I do best—I ran.

Now I’m working behind Fowler’s bar, sleeping in his spare room, and discovering he’s a lot harder to keep at a distance when he’s right down the hall.

He’s not supposed to see straight through me. Or make staying feel easy. And he definitely isn’t supposed to become the one man I can’t walk away from.

I always run. We both know that.

The problem is, I can’t stop wondering what would happen if, for once, I didn’t.

If I stayed.
