Book excerpt: After a night of drinking way too much, I wake up in a handsome stranger's bed. Less than an hour later, the stranger walks into my Calculus class and says, "Hi, I'm Professor McCarthy." It's going to be a fun semester... Professor is a standalone story in the Alpha Male U series. It features—you guessed it—a hot alpha male, the student he's determined to claim for his own, instalove, and a HEA! WORD COUNT: 11,000 Excerpt: Belatedly, I wonder if he's one of those creepy professors who prey on students. Selma would have told me if she heard any rumors, but McCarthy could be good at keeping his activities under wraps. "Do you do this a lot?" I blurt out. "Do what? Hang out at local coffee shops? Well, of course. I'm a big believer in supporting small businesses." "You know that's not what I'm asking. Do you hit on a lot of your students?" "I've never been inappropriate with a student. I value professionalism, and that would be wrong." He focuses his blue eyes on me. There's so much heat in his gaze that I feel like it could burn me. "But with you, I can't help wanting to do the wrong thing." I shiver, telling myself that it's because of the cold matcha latte. "Professor — " "Call me Landon." "Landon." His first name feels like a naughty word on my tongue. "You're my professor. I'm your student." "Thank you for stating obvious facts." I glare at him. "I'm stating the obvious because you're acting like you don't understand the obvious." "Go to dinner with me." Oh, for the love of Christ. "Professor — " "I told you to call me Landon." "Whether I call you Landon or Professor, I can't go to dinner with you. Besides, I have to go home and study." "I can help you study." Lust courses through my blood at the idea of a private tutoring session with Landon/Professor McCarthy. Additional keywords: Asian heroine, interracial romance, college romance

Book excerpt: He wants to keep me safe. But that’s not all he wants… A few weeks after leaving my jerk of a brother, I find myself broke and homeless. When I pick up a student ID, I think I’ve found my salvation. Little do I know that it would lead me to Graham Lang, who wants to keep me safe and to make me his… Safe is a standalone book in the Alpha Male U series containing—you guessed it—hot alpha males, the women they’re determined to claim for their own, and HEAs! WORD COUNT: 10,000 Excerpt: I joke, “You should stop treating me this well. Otherwise, I might never leave.” My words cause him to stiffen. Wait, does he think I’m being serious? Oh Lord, the idea of me mooching off him indefinitely must be freaking him out. I say quickly, “I’m joking. Once I find a job, I’ll be out of your hair.” He passes a jug of maple syrup to me. “You can take your time with the job search. There’s no rush.” I bet he’s just saying that to be polite. I drench my pancakes in maple syrup, prompting him to ask, “Do you have dental insurance?” “Um, no…” “You shouldn’t have so much sugar. Cavity fillings are expensive.” I want to roll my eyes. “I’ll floss and brush my teeth thoroughly later.” Under his slightly judgmental gaze, I devour the breakfast like it’s my last. Regret fills me when my plate and glass are empty. This might be the last decent meal I have for a while; I should’ve savored it. “Hey, you got syrup on your lip,” he says. “Oh, thanks.” Before I can reach for a napkin, he rubs his fingers over my mouth. My heart skips a beat. He’s so close to me now. I can feel his warmth and catch his scent. He smells like soap and lemons. I expect him to step back now that he’s wiped the syrup off my lip, but his fingers remain on the edge of my mouth. He stares at me like I’m a half-finished puzzle he’s been studying for hours. “Olivia.” His voice is soft. I wait for him to say something else, but he just continues staring at me, his fingers still on my face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He wants more than just my cookies. The ramblings of dead philosophers put me to sleep. What doesn't put me to sleep? My very alive, very sexy Intro to Philosophy professor. I have a major crush on Professor Newhart, but of course I don't expect it to go anywhere. Because a relationship between a student and a professor? That would be so inappropriate. And I doubt that plain old me would ever catch the eye of the sexy professor. But then he tries my cookies at a bake sale. And soon after, he's determined to also have me for dessert. WORD COUNT: 5,700 Excerpt: My heart nearly leaps out of my chest when I see Professor Newhart standing next to me. He's wearing a light blue button-down that reveals an oh-so-tempting bit of his chest, and I have to remind myself not to drool. He's so close to me that I can smell his sweet and spicy cologne, a scent that makes me want to lean toward him and breathe him in. "Are you 21?" he asks. Oh s**t. My lust quickly evaporates at his question. "Um…" He smirks. "You should be glad that I'm not a cop." My cheeks redden. "Are you going to report me?" "That depends." My stomach drops. "On what?" "Are you going to report me for this?" Making me gasp, he kisses my shoulder, then licks my bare skin. Okay, so he was flirting with me at the bake sale. Heat courses through my veins. "What are you doing? We're in public!" A mischievous smile appears on his face. "Is that your only objection to me kissing you?" "You're my professor," I hiss, my eyes darting around the bar. No one seemed to notice us, thank God. "So? I want you, and I'm fairly certain you want me too." He lowers his head, trying to kiss me again, but I push him away before his lips can touch me. "Someone can see us." A part of me wants to say to hell with the consequences and let him freaking take me right here, right now, but fortunately, my saner side wins out. However, his saner side has definitely lost to his crazy lust-driven side, for he grabs my hand and says, "Then let's go somewhere more private." Oh, I am in trouble. I should rip my hand from his. That would be the appropriate, the right thing to do. But Lord, I want to do the inappropriate and wrong thing.

I just wanted to steal one bag of chips. Instead, I end up stealing the heart of a handsome millionaire... YOU'RE MINE, WIFE When my wife serves me divorce papers, I lose my s**t. But I'm going to remind her that she's mine. And she's going to stay with me till death do us part. Whether she likes it or not. ***A sexy short story featuring an over-the-top alpha male who is beyond obsessed with his wife and is never going to let her go!*** Excerpt: I say, "The next words coming out of that pretty little mouth better be 'I have come to my senses, dear husband, and I shall ask for a divorce no more.'" "You're so stubborn." "You haven't seen stubborn yet." My fingers twitch with the desire to tie her to the bed; I settle for wrapping my arms around her and putting my hand on the small of her back. "Shouldn't you be at work?" "I'm exactly where I need to be." I kiss her shoulder, then sink my teeth into her skin, marking her with a love bite. "You're the CEO. You shouldn't be playing hooky. Doesn't that set a bad example for your employees?" "When you're the boss, you have the privilege of being able to tell people, 'Do as I say, not as I do.'" WANTING HIS STUDENT I shouldn't want her, but I do. Alicia Liu is the most gorgeous woman I have ever met, and I want to make her mine. But there's one problem. She's my student. Is that going to stop me from claiming her? Not for long... ***A sweet and sexy short story with an obsessed alpha male, instalove, and a happy ending!*** Excerpt: "Leave them," I bark. I'm going to give her some real food and going to give her a real bed to sleep on, not that crappy air mattress. I'm going to take care of her, not giving a d**n whether or not it's appropriate. "But—" Impatient, I seize her hand and drag her out of the room. She shivers. "Are you going to report me to the staff?" A frown comes onto my face. She thinks I'm going to tattle on her? Does she think I'm a heartless b*****d? Then again, I have been growling at her (albeit unintentionally). She is probably scared of me. "I'm not going to get you in trouble," I say, only half-growling this time. "Um, then can you let go of my hand?" I look at our intertwined hands, cursing mentally. Professors aren't supposed to touch their students, and we're definitely not supposed to hold their hands. Still, I don't want to let go of her.

Includes An Offer from My Dad's Creditor, Knocked Up by the Tycoon, Caught by the College President, Wanted by My Fake Boyfriend's Dad, and An Offer from the CEO! An Offer from My Dad's Creditor "Lucky for you and your parents, I'm benevolent enough to offer an alternative method of payment," he says. From the lust in his gray gaze, I have a pretty good idea what the "alternative method of payment" is, but I ask anyway, "What do you want, Mr. Ricci?" "I want you to carry my child." His words make me lightheaded. Today was not a good day to skip dinner. "Um, what?" I ask, my legs trembling with the struggle to stay upright. Maybe I heard him wrong. No such luck. "I want you to carry my child, Paisley." Knocked Up by the Tycoon My breath stops for a moment. Is that…? I shake my head before I can finish the thought. Pregnancy has to be making me hear things. Because there's no way– "Alexa, look at me." My eyes bulge out of their sockets when a big familiar hand grabs my small one. Okay, I don't think my pregnancy brain can make that up. My imagination is not that vivid. I turn around, and my breath halts for yet another moment. Standing in front of me is Dallas Takahashi, my ex-boyfriend. And the father of the baby growing inside me. Caught by the College President I suck in a breath when my college president wraps his arms around me and pulls me onto his lap. "I…I have a boyfriend," I say, my voice coming out annoyingly breathy. He chuckles. "Oh, yes, your boyfriend, who seems like a real prize." He tugs at my blanket, exposing my bare shoulder. When he lowers his head and presses his mouth to my shoulder, I become breathless. Wanted by My Fake Boyfriend's Dad At the sight of Mike's father, I have to actively keep my jaw off the ground. One thing my friend neglected to tell me–his father is sexy. Mike's not a bad-looking guy either, but he got his golden hair and hazel eyes from his mother. Mr. Currant, on the other hand, has dark chocolate waves and intense gray eyes. Tall, dark, and handsome–just my type. An Offer from the CEO His face becomes serious. "I know your family has a lot of debt, Charity." I stiffen. Does a CEO normally concern himself with the financial troubles of a lowly office assistant? "There are your mother's unpaid hospital bills, your father's unwise loan to his brother, your own brother's gambling…" My grip tightens on my bottled water. How does he know all of that? "I'll take care of that debt," Adam says. I catch my breath. Chance Enterprises is a multi-billion dollar company, so I know he has the means to pay off my family's mountain of debt. "Why would you do that?" I ask. Then I remember that Mr. Chance is known for his philanthropy. Does he see me as a pitiful charity case? Is that why he has been so nice to me? "Because I want something in exchange." "What do you…?" I get my answer when he strokes the hem of my black pencil skirt.

Book excerpt: My future used to look so promising. I graduated from high school at the top of my class and got into Princeton. But then I flunked out of the Ivy League school. Now I'm prancing around in a skimpy French maid outfit while waiting on sleazy rich guys at Parisian Dream. Ag, more like Parisian Nightmare. I don't think things could get any worse until I find myself waiting on Gerald Holland, my former best friend. And it turns out he's still a little—okay, very—salty about how I rejected him in high school. But though he acts like he hates me, he also acts like he still wants me... WORD COUNT: 7,300 Excerpt: He's treating me like a charity case. If I had a little more pride, I would tell him to take back his money. But I have a stupid amount of student loans to pay off for my one semester of college, so I keep the cash. "What do you do nowadays?" I ask. Gerald definitely had a glow-up after high school. He lost all of his baby fat and now looks like the stereotypical handsome rich guy from a romance novel. Chiseled cheekbones, a strong jaw, and a sleek blond haircut straight out of an expensive salon. His emerald-green eyes are the same though. "I design apps," he says. "I recently sold one to Google for a pretty penny." That explains the custom-tailored suit and Rolex. He grins. "Not bad for someone who had a 2.0 GPA in high school, eh?" "Not bad," I murmur. I should be glad for Gerald—and I am—but his success makes my failure all the more painful. In high school, people expected great things from me and expected nothing from Gerald. Yet I'm a Princeton dropout and he is a Rolex-wearing tech mogul. "I bet you regret rejecting me in high school." I glare at him. "Did you just come here to rub your success in my face?" "That's one reason. The other reason is I had a burning desire to see you in a sexy French maid outfit." He glances at my cleavage and legs, making me blush. "A wet dream come true."

Book excerpt: Hilarie Walsh just wants to lay low during her senior year after being branded the class tramp by her loathsome ex. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't escape the notice of the new kid Eric Lawington, the arrogant but incredibly sexy son of a billionaire who makes the rich heirs and heiresses at her school look middle-class in comparison. At first, she wants nothing to do with him, but Eric is nothing if not persistent and evident sparks fly between them. However, jealousy, the past, and a drama-making twin with a history of wrecking his sibling's happiness threaten their relationship... Excerpt: All the hardness left her face. Her eyes turned wide; her mouth stopped glowering. She looked vulnerable, like she could fall into pieces at any moment. "I don't know if I should be relieved or scared that you've stopped acting like a jerk." "Why should you be scared?" "Most of the time, guys are jerks. When they're being nice, they want something from you or are planning to break your heart." "You're so cynical." "Blame my ex." He untied the knot behind her mask. "How about I help you forget your ex?" "Trying to seduce me?" "Maybe." "Why are these masks so small?" she asked as he took off her mask. "Isn't the point of a masquerade ball to not know who anyone is?" "Not for me. I just wanted to show off my wealth." "You're a douche, but at least you're an honest one." "Unlike your ex?" She lifted the corners of her mouth. "You don't know his name, yet you already somehow know him so well." His mask fell to the bed. "May I kiss you?" "Why not?" she whispered. Closing his eyes, he put his lips on hers. From the way she moaned without pulling away from him, he could tell she enjoyed this. He then left a trail of kisses down her slender white neck, making her sigh in bliss. Christ, even her shoulders are beautiful, he thought as he pulled the straps of her dress down the smooth pale skin. She gasped as his teeth grazed the skin over her collarbone. "Want me to stop?" he breathed against her shoulder. "No," she whispered.
