His obsession for me is deadly, and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.

There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.

But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.

When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.

My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.

And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.

Author’s note: Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark themes, a twenty-year age gap, the hero as the other man, breeding, a jealous and possessive alphahole, and a sweet but strong virgin heroine. This book features appearances of characters from Fear Me, Love Me. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

REVIEW

2025

🙌🏻 Perfection 🤩
I love myself some Lilith Vincent dark romance and seeing Tyrant again was the icing on the cake.

Elena reminded me of Cinderella at the beginning of this story. She has two evil aunts and is forced to give up her hard earned cash to ‘help’ the family while attending judgement days. She needs a prince to rescue her, but it’s the devil who has her heating up.

Cullan is a man who knows what he wants. The second he lays eyes on Elena, she spikes his interest. Only a moment later, he finds out she’s dating his son.

What starts as an obsession turns into something captivating. Everyone has a dark side but only some allow it truly out of the box. Cullan is cunning, heroic and completely oversteps boundaries, but you know what? He’s totally perfect for Elena.

I loved this book. The story sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down. It’s dark, unhinged and addictive.

🖤 Age Gap
🖤 Daddy vibes
🖤 Virgin Heroine

🖤 Dark romance
🖤 Overbearing alpha

Two Friends.

One Shattered World.

And a choice that could change everything. 

Protopia

by John Calia

Genre: Dystopian Thriller 

#1 Amazon Bestseller!

 

America’s cultural divide turns deadly.

When lifelong friends Olivia and Alexandra find themselves in opposing camps, the bonds of their friendship are tested like never before.

Olivia seeks solace in a socialist utopia that promises protection and belonging, but at what cost?

Meanwhile, Alexandra chases freedom. But can she survive in a community with few, if any, rules?

As their worlds collide and tensions escalate, secrets and lies threaten to destroy the foundation of their relationship.

Can they bridge the gap between them, or will their differences tear them apart forever?

In this gripping tale of loyalty, adventure, and human connection, the stakes are higher than ever. Protopia is a thought-provoking thrill ride that explores the power of friendship in a world on the brink.

If you devour the complex characters of Emily St. John Mandel or the visionary world-building of Octavia Butler, you'll be captivated by this latest masterpiece by the author of the Amazon best-seller The Awakening of Artemis.

Blurb:

My life is basically a three-item to-do list: 

1. Keep my eight-year-old daughter happy. 

2. Keep my job at the elementary school. 

3. Keep my big, scary dream of being a full-time artist locked up where it can’t break my heart. 

Easy. Manageable. Drama-free. 

And then Fisher Wright strolls into Star Falls. 

Tall. Charming. British. The kind of dangerously attractive that should come with a warning label—or maybe a hazmat suit in my size. He’s here for eight weeks, helping a famous music superstar record her next album. 

We have one harmless, flirty conversation at the local bar.
Then it’s wine on my porch.
Then stolen kisses by the falls.
Then… oh no, actual feelings. The big, messy, life-complicating kind I swore I didn’t have time for. 

But his life is in New York. Mine is here. And long-distance fairytales? Please. They don’t come true — especially when there’s a kid involved. 

So why is he making secret plans to get my art in front of Manhattan’s elite?
Why am I suddenly imagining him at my daughter’s soccer games?
And why does it feel like the only temporary thing here… is the eight-week expiration date we agreed on? 

Small-town slow burn. Single mom sunshine and a grumpy Brit. Steamy porch kisses. And one very inconvenient, very irresistible love.

Duality

 

 

She's their executive assistant by day, and the city's vigilante by night.

Duality

The Archers Book 1

by Sunny Hart

Genre: Why Choose RH Romance

Executive assistant by day… vigilante by night…

 

Evelyn Harper lives a double life. By day, she is the unassuming assistant to the Stone brothers and their best friend, efficiently managing their security firm’s operations. By night, she runs the Archers, a vigilante organization delivering justice for those that the legal system fails.

 

For years, she’s successfully kept her two lives separate, using the information she’s privy to at the security firm to save more lives with the Archers. But when a threat targets her men, Evelyn’s two worlds collide. Evelyn must reveal her true identity and harness all her skills and resources if she’s going to keep them alive.

 

But when the four men discover her betrayal, will they let her help them or will they turn her and her organization over to the very corrupt system that Evelyn fights?

 

Duality is the gripping first book of three in The Archers series, full of action, intrigue, and romance as Evelyn fights to protect her loved ones and uphold her brand of justice. It is a MFMMM slow burn contemporary romance with dark themes but is not a dark romance. If you love strong female characters and a harem that adores their FMC, this is the book for you!

Rich Guy's Wife Tour and Giveaway!

 

 

Be careful what you wish for.

The Rich Guy’s Wife

by Bonnie Traymore

Genre: Psychological Domestic Thriller 

When a struggling young career woman gets swept off her feet by a wealthy, handsome guy, she ignores the nagging feeling in her gut that it’s too good to be true. But when she digs into his past, dark secrets emerge. And it might be more dangerous to get out.

Be careful what you wish for.

Mother’s voice rings in my ears as I stand perfectly still in the darkness, fearing that each breath I take will be my last. I’m crouched down in the closet with blood on my hands, my legs and back aching to move, even an inch.

But I can’t. One twitch, one cramp, and I’ll bang into a shelf and give myself away.

When Stefan Zeigler swept me off my feet four months ago, I had to fight the voice in my head telling me that my new boyfriend was too good to be true: handsome, wealthy enough to own a home in the Hamptons...and totally into me.

Or was that Lucy’s voice, my gal pal attorney friend who doesn’t need a man to live large? Or my mom’s voice, warning me of controlling prenups and the dangerous secrets of the superrich?

I’d always dreamed of a better life, and working my way there wasn’t going so well for me, with my pile of student loan debt, a rent-controlled apartment in Manhattan I could barely afford, and a stable but low-paying PR job.

Is it so bad that I dared to believe in a fairy tale ending, even after I found out about his felon brother? Or his nefarious business associate? Or the fact that his last girlfriend looked a lot like me—and seems to have vanished into thin air?

But now I see that fairy tales have a dark underbelly beneath the glitter, just like my life right now. I’m Erin. I got what I wished for. I’m a rich guy’s wife now.

And it just might be the death of me.

Rebecca meets The Boyfriend in this twisty, unputdownable domestic thriller full of psychological suspense, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kaira Rouda, Emily Shiner, Daniel Hurst, and Liv Constantine.

🔥 Three swoony grumps. Three unforgettable love stories. 🔥

Ready to fall hard for your next book boyfriend?

The Firefighter’s Fake Fiancee’

The Wildfire Pact Book 1

by Nelly Adler

Genre: Small Town Fake Engagement Firefighter Romance 

I ran from the altar … and ran straight into the man who still holds my heart.

After bolting from my high-society wedding in a designer gown and heels, I had nowhere to go but back to Ember Ridge, the small town I left behind.

I wasn’t expecting Cal Bennett, my high school ex, to pull me from a ditch in the pouring rain. Or to still be just as grumpy and gorgeous.

When the town assumes we’re together, I panic and blurt out we’re engaged.

Cal’s a rule-following fire captain. But agrees to fake it to protect me from my ex.

What starts as pretend turns real fast: glances that last too long, walks in town that lead to sweet kisses that don’t feel fake.

Tangled sheets and feelings we never dealt with the first time around.

But when the man I ran from tries to ruin everything with one post, the fallout threatens to destroy our second chance—for good.

And I’ll be damned if I’ll let that happen.

My Grumpy Firefighter Daddy

by Nelly Adler

Genre: Alpha Hero Mistaken Identity Firefighter Romance

 

From flirty texts to falling hard… now he doesn’t remember my name.

It started with a wrong number.
I should’ve deleted it. Instead, I replied.

Jack Reid was all fire and fury. He was bold, gruff, and unexpectedly funny.
I was hooked before I even knew his name.

This mistaken identity continued for a while, but we got serious once he figured me out.
First coffee. Then Dinner at my place and kisses that made me forget how to breathe.
And Lily—his smart, sassy daughter with glitter on her shoes and a heart big enough to break me.

I fell hard for both of them. Trips to the park, special time with Lilly, and late nights with Jack!

As the Charge Nurse in the ER, I received a call stating that an incoming firefighter was in critical condition. I knew it was Jack before I saw him.

Now he’s broken. Bruised. And doesn’t remember I exist.

And now I will fight for a man who’s forgotten he ever loved me.
