“He swore he wouldn’t fall. She never expected to want him to.”

OLIVIA

Boxing Day was supposed to be spent with my children. Instead, I was alone in a hotel bar, drowning in heartbreak while my ex played happy families with his new girlfriend. And then he walked in.

Dr. Ryan Simmonds—arrogant, guarded, and too damn gorgeous for his own good.

He was supposed to be a one-night escape, nothing more.

✔ Not my sister’s heart surgeon.

✔ Not the man making my children laugh.

✔ And definitely not someone I could fall for when my world is already crumbling.

RYAN

I don’t get involved. Not after my fiancée left me for my brother.

But Olivia Brown is a complication I never saw coming.

✔ She’s fierce, exhausted, and willing to fight the world for her sister.

✔ She’s the one woman I shouldn’t want.

✔ And she’s breaking down every wall I’ve built.

Her sister’s failing heart means I’m her only hope. But Olivia deserves more than a man who can’t afford to love her.

Now I have to make an impossible choice:

Be the surgeon who saves her sister… or the man who won’t break her heart.

🔥 A heart-wrenching, slow-burn romance about love, fate, and impossible choices.

📖 Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, and Abby Jimenez.

My skin itched. Something was happening. Something I could not control, and I didn’t like it one bit. Pinky had gone radio silent and so had his brother. I’d tried calling Rye every hour for the last five hours, and nothing.

Then there was Enrique’s mood. He said something about losing a pair of eyes, but I had no idea what he meant by that. On one hand, I wanted to chalk it up to crazy ramblings, which was something he often did, but on the other, even crazy people spoke the truth. It didn’t sit well with me. None of it did. It felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

And my gut told me Siam was about to find herself in the middle of a war zone. Dark Leopards versus Enrique. I would do whatever it took to keep her safe and protect her. I would not allow anyone to sink their claws into her. At the same time, I felt like I was fighting an enemy with blinders on. I couldn’t see my foe coming, and I didn’t know which direction they were coming from. All I could do was jump in with both feet and hope we both survived this.

“Fang!” I had to control the urge to jump when I heard Enrique bellow.

“Yes, sir?” I answered quickly. With the mood he’d been in, I did not want to poke the beast. Not right now. My time would come, but for now, I would wait.

SNOW

As a young boy, abandoned by my parents and ripped apart from my twin sister, I learned early on that the world was full of evil and hate. I survived by living between the light and darkness, using my shifter abilities to stay alive…until one mistake should have cost me my life. Instead, it became my salvation and gave me a family and band of brothers who had my back no matter what. The Dark Leopards MC was not a gang to be trifled with, and many gave us a wide birth, and as the Sergeant At Arms, I ensured that’s the way it stayed. But someone was trying to encroach on our territory and begin a war.

I suspect the woman I saved, the woman whom I discover is my mate, is tied to it all somehow. I just have to figure out the puzzle before it’s too late.

VERITY

I was only trying to help a friend. The last thing I ever thought is that my friend would try to kidnap me, but thankfully someone or something saved me. Rushing to meet my roommate, Siam, I got another shock when the gang responsible for my brother’s death are her friends. I didn’t care if her brother had mesmerizing eyes or if I had a hard time not thinking about him. He was the enemy!

But even as my enemy, he may be my only chance to stay alive and learn the truth. And if Snow is the one protecting me in and out of bed, I wouldn’t complain too much.

Maria Vickers is a bestselling and award-winning author who currently resides in St. Louis, MO with her pug, Hunny. She has always had a passion for writing and after she became disabled in 2010, she decided to use writing as her escape.

Getting sick changed her life forever, but it also opened doors for her that she thought would always be out of reach.

Review: Paying the Price

Paying the Price by Nicole James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0

~~~~~~~~~~Julie's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

This book is fabulous. The storyline is full of emotional grief and new beginnings. Eli stole my heart. Lizzy is in such a state of mind that she doesn’t know what to do. Darko with his MC family will do their best to mend them both.
