Devious Lies

They say two wrongs dont make a right. But what if they did?

Maria

It was always only a matter of time before my past would catch up with me. I knew it the second I lied on my job application, I was taking a huge risk. But anything was better than the crime family I was born into.
I knew I needed help, and I set my cap on the king only to be turned down. It was inevitable that someone from my old life was going to find me at the Vipers’ Den.
I was ready for it, but I didn’t expect him to step in. Luc Batiste, the Vipers’ Council, was my savior. He wasn’t loud and showy like the others. But it was always the quiet ones you had to watch out for.
Now, I owed him my life. But he wanted the truth, and that was more than I could give.

***

Luc

There was something about her that never seemed to fit. Maria didn’t belong behind a bar slinging beers and booze.
She was too good for that. Too good for me. So, I kept my distance.
But I was there when that customer got a little too familiar, and there was no way I was going to let it go.
In my world, there are rules, and once a Viper claimed a woman, she was his. I just claimed Maria in the loudest way possible. She thought she could hide from me. That her secrets are safe. But they weren’t.
Maria was mine now. That meant I owned every inch of her, including her past.
There was no getting away from it. No getting away from me. Sooner or later, Maria was going to have to accept it because I wasn’t letting her go.

Devious Lies is the second in the contemporary romance series of connected standalones, Jersey Bad Boys. This series features familiar tropes such as enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriages, secret babies, and contains some violence and explicit scenes.

Series Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Highly Recommended Read! They say quiet ones are the worst well you’ve not seen anything until you meet Luc. WOW! His inner beast is about to be unleashed when he finally after months of obsessing about Maria gets the chance to claim her as his. The steamy erotic sex is off the charts with this storyline and will make you hot and bothered. Luc has his own special way of giving extra pleasure and let me tell you ladies, you’ll want a Luc of your own! A little action, lots of loving and a swoon-worthy storyline which is not just entertaining but one you won’t forget for a long time. If I could give this a 10* review I would, it’s that good!” -Bookbub Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”Maria is hiding something and Luc is determined to figure it out. In the meantime, he falls for her from afar and things go south in good, and not so good ways. The drama and suspense is palpable, though easily handled the Viper way. I’m loving this series and looking forward to more.” -Bookbub Reviewer

Merciful Lies

Desperate to pay off his debt, Anna Keller’s brother offers her to dangerous, tattooed Nico Fury for one night. Six months later, Anna’s brother is dead and she returns to Nico — pregnant with his child… A blazing-hot dark romance that kicks off a series!

Lies can be merciful. It just depends on the why.

Anna

I knew the second I saw him, my life would change forever. When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies.

Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him. One night. That was all. But it would leave me wrecked. Actions always had consequences. Six months later, my brother was killed by a rival organization, and now they were after me.

There was only one place I could go to keep my unborn baby safe. I just hoped the king would be merciful.

***

Nico

Perfect things didn’t exist, at least not in my experience. But she was pretty close. I had her in my bed for one night, and I couldn’t shake the memory. No, I wasn’t meant to keep soft things like Anna Keller. My life belonged to my crew, and we were a vicious group. Hell, we weren’t called Vipers for nothing.

But she was different. She made me want, and I loved and hated her for it. Anna was light in a world of constant darkness. She was all warmth and beauty like no other. And I craved her like a drug.

Six months had passed since I took her in return for clearing her brother’s debt to me, but that man attracted trouble like honey did flies. It wasn’t long before I learned Sam Keller had gotten himself killed. Less than an hour later, Anna came back to me, on her knees, asking for sanctuary.

I knew the moment I saw the swell of her stomach she was carrying my baby. Anna thought coming here would protect her, but she was walking right into the Viper’s nest. Before I was finished, my little runaway would be begging me for mercy.

Merciful Lies is the first in the contemporary romance series of connected standalones, Jersey Bad Boys. This series features familiar tropes such as enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriages, secret babies, and contains some violence and explicit scenes.

Her Yule His Log

All snowed in and nowhere to go…

Forty year-old Natalie Leonidis booked her stay at Crystal Springs Getaways long before the weather report came in. With her ex getting remarried, the successful author of a popular detective series was just looking for a quiet way to spend the holidays. She wasn’t counting on the travel agent double booking her coveted one bedroom cabin!
Bron Beckett needed a break from running his Fortune 500 company. After two failed marriages, he could attest to the fact that women and wealth were not always friends. It was getting harder to know if a woman wanted him or what was in his bank account. Being single during the holidays was the worst.
It was like everyone had a cousin or sister for him to meet—but not this year. He had plans to get away from it all. With the latest release from his favorite author and a tumbler of his favorite label, Whiskey Neat, Bron was going to kick back while the yule log crackled in the fireplace.
Sounded like a perfect Christmas. But he wasn’t the only one with designs on cabin 1225. His uninvited guest could stay and make the best of it. Or leave and take her chances with the incoming blizzard.
One look at her luscious figure and Bron knew exactly what he wanted—to spend Christmas Eve with the curvy Natalie wrapped around him. No reservations. No rules.
Just her yule and his log.

His Wild Obsession

He’s a hardened ex-criminal. She’s a stranger to his world.

Adrik Volkov worked hard to wipe the slate clean of his criminal past for his sake and his brother’s. Bringing Volkov Industries into the 21st century has taken everything he’s got. But it’s been worth it. His company’s patented mining techniques for harvesting rare earth metals used in electronics and smart tech have made him a billionaire.
Instead of breaking legs and taking names, he’s attending parties with people he neither likes nor understands. It’s all part of his new title. But money can’t erase his harsh upbringing. Once a brawler, always a brawler. Those skills come in handy when he sees a woman being accosted at one of the ritzy, booze filled gatherings he must attend.
Sofia DiFalco was more than just a damsel in distress. The curvy stranger made his body buzz with desire and his hard heart beat a little faster. From the second he saw her, Adrik wanted only one thing. Sofia in his bed. But after one tantalizing night, she disappears without a trace.
He tries to forget her, but she’s an obsession, and he just can’t let go.

Snow Fox

She’s a genius with a secret. He’s an agent with a grudge.

Being pretty isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Nova Harbor would much rather be known for her brain than her symmetrical facial features, stunning bod, and eye-catching coloring.
As a research scientist for the secret section of the US government known as the Division of Paranormal Creatures & Activities, or DPCA for short, getting the big boys to notice her achievements is a heck of a lot harder than getting them to notice her assets. She does all she can to stay professional, but frustrations run rampant when she’s forced to work with a snobby feline and his oversized ego.
Working for the DPCA has always been Asher Donnelly’s dream job since he was a tiny cub. When an investigation leads to evidence of illegal experiments being done on Shifters, Asher is assigned to the case.
He’ll do anything to find the culprits, even if it means working with her, the woman the entire DPCA calls the face. Asher has no patience for the female whom office rumors say slept her way to a cushy job. The only problem is his Lion is quite taken with the beauty. But Asher has better things to do than chase her fluffy white tail.
Nova is aware of Asher’s low opinion of her. But this Snow Fox has nothing to prove. Especially not to a stubborn, butt-sniffing, litter-box-using overgrown house cat!
Will prejudices keep these two from solving the crime? Or will they become more than just co-workers?
