Riley Hayes is the golden boy of the Hayes family—wealthy, charming, and ruthless in both business and pleasure. As heir to HayesOil, his future seems guaranteed until his father’s will throws everything into chaos. To secure his inheritance and control of the family empire, Riley must do the unthinkable: marry for love and stay married for a year.

Furious and desperate, Riley concocts a plan that will both satisfy the stipulation and humiliate his father’s oldest enemy.

Until Riley uncovers a devastating secret that gives him leverage to force Jack into a marriage neither of them wants.

“A sexy and fast-paced romantic thriller.”


It takes a Navy SEAL's training to keep them alive, but when the mystery on the mountain is solved, will Viktor and Aiden's love story survive the fallout?

Viktor left small-town Vermont to become a Navy SEAL and had no intention of tying himself down or falling in love. A succession of men and women share his bed, passion and danger are his addictions, and he's the first of his team to run headlong into trouble. When his nephew witnesses a murder, Viktor returns home to protect his family and lands in the middle of an active case led by none other than the man he left behind. He can handle getting punched out by Aiden, but teaming up with the sheriff to find a killer is not on the cards. For Viktor, love is dangerous, makes a man vulnerable, and one mistake could get Aiden killed.

Aiden never expected to find lasting love with a decorated active SEAL, but he didn't anticipate Viktor would leave his bed never to return. Even two years later, disappointment simmers below the surface, and he never wants to see Viktor again. But, when seemingly unrelated deaths draw Viktor back home, Aiden has to find a way for them to work together despite their past. With Viktor's training and Aiden's local knowledge, they partner to work the case, but Aiden isn't just fighting the bad guys and mother nature; he's falling in love with a man who will surely leave him again.

What links the string of deaths in the Green Mountains? Can hate and distrust turn back to love? And if they make it down from the mountain alive, can Aiden persuade Viktor he has a reason to stop running?
