Chloe
He’s Emerald Creek’s hot, wounded, and emotionally unavailable pub owner. My unforgettable one-night-stand with a stranger. And now, my business rival.
I should be able to handle that, right?
After all, I’m the strong woman who totally survived losing her job, being kicked out of her apartment, and finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman–all in one day.
What else could go wrong?
Meeting the perfect man, and having to walk away from him.
I keep my promise and slip out in the morning, never to see him again–until my cousins beg me to run their family’s restaurant after my uncle suddenly dies, and he’s the next-door pub owner.
Except now he inexplicably hates me, and wants me gone.
But this job is all I have.
I’m not going anywhere.
Justin
We had a deal: One night, no names, no numbers. She was smart, sexy, and beautiful-–the worst kind of trouble.
The mysterious woman I cradled through the night could have been the one, if I were that type of guy. The one I could change for. But I like it fine just the way I am. So when morning comes and she’s gone, I’m both devastated and relieved.
Until she appears in my hometown, on my doorstep, causing trouble to my business. She doesn’t seem to know it, but there’s literal bad blood between our families. I need her gone.
But everyone in Emerald Creek thinks differently, and even my dog plays matchmaker.
Falling for the enemy has never been so tempting.

Stella
Getting pregnant in college wasn’t part of the plan, but I’ll never regret giving birth to the best part of me. Even if my parents did disown me for it.
A fresh start in a small town seems like a good idea, until a handsome stranger shows me a little kindness and has me feeling things, I thought I’d never feel again… things I have no business feeling about a man I just met.
Every time I turn around, Maverick is there. One thing inevitably leads to another and my newfound friend comes with benefits. I'm doing my best to hold it all together, but the truth is, when I see him with my daughter, I know I've already fallen too far.
Maverick
From the moment Stella rolled into town, she's had my attention. Since that moment, I've been determined to befriend the sexy single mom who's down on her luck.
Stella has fallen on hard times, but something tells me she'll never take a handout. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try to help, so of course I put in a good word to get her a job. She’s smart enough to know I had a hand in it, but that’s what friends are for, right?
With each day that passes, Stella becomes more than just a friend. She's my best friend—who I apparently can't keep my hands off. She's worried we're complicating things, but screw that. Blurred lines or not, I ask her to stay anyway.

How did it all spiral out of control so quickly?
Trapped in a life dictated by others, I yearned for freedom. But my pursuit of independence led me down a dangerous path I never could have anticipated.
What began as a lifeline quickly unravelled into a nightmare. The deal was meant to help get my life back on track. Instead, it pulled me into a whirlwind of chaos and self-destruction.
Amidst the haze of sex, drugs, and bad decisions, I find an unexpected protector: him. His touch ignites a fire within me and I can't seem to get him out of my head.
As I teeter on the edge of self-destruction, he offers salvation—or damnation. With every choice, I risk losing myself further, but with him, I glimpse a flicker of hope.
In a world where every decision could mean my downfall, I must choose: Embrace the darkness or find my way back to the light, back to him.

Author: H.L. Packer
Genre/Tropes: secret society, dark romance with poly relationship
Release Date: May 8, 2024
I should have listened.I knew deep in my bones that coming to Pendleton Prep was a mistake. Not that it was ever my choice.
I was handed over to a bunch of Devils, both literally and figuratively, and left floundering in a game full of rules I didn’t and still don't understand.
The problem is that I refused to remain the prey, and I didn’t stay meek and obedient, no matter how hard they tried to keep me that way.
They took way more than they were due, and the same Devils they once planned to use to control me are now mine to direct. Still sworn to protect, to manipulate, and to avenge, but for our future together, not theirs.
What happens when the tables turn on the unknown enemy? We’re about to find out. Consequences be damned.

I never thought my fake marriage, would become real...
Jasper Hamilton
I've always been a pawn in the game of chess my grandfather prefers to play with me. It started when I was a child who didn't have anywhere else to go after my parents were killed. Gone was my home full of love and warmth, and in its place was a mansion with a man as cold as a winter night. The only thing that kept me sane were my friends. Those blue-collar buddies who didn't care about my grandpa's bank account.
I never cared about the money either. Until he threatens to take away the one thing I love in this world. The foundation created in their memory. The only way for me to get it back? Play by his rules, take a wife, and secure an heir. Something I never planned to do after growing up the way I did. But the way I respond to Daisy Williams, and the satisfaction I get from calling her my wife makes me feel like I've been promoted from Pawn to King.
Tropes Included: small town blue collar marriage of convenience brooding for everyone but her
Jasper is book three in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

"I don't think I can resist tasting those lips again. I've tried."
"I've tried, too." I admit. But I've thought about it more than I should. Wondered if there was still the slight taste of mint from his toothpaste.
"So we're gonna give in together, right?" He licks his lips, as if he's warming his mouth up for what's about to happen.
"Yeah, if that's what you need in order to sleep at night. We can pretend like you're not the one driving this boat."
Jasper drops his head low. "Pretty sure you're right here with me, Daisy Mae. Unless you turn your head at the last minute, you're about to know what my lips on yours is all about. Ya know, in case you forgot."
I didn't forget, will never forget.
