From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Extraction—the first book in Stonewall, a dangerous suspense series in the World of Mayhem, where brotherhood runs deep, and the fight for what matters most only gets harder when the heart is on the line.
Agent Paul is a soldier of many faces—
a ghost, an undercover operative, a team leader.
But those are just titles.
When a letter lands in his hands, everything changes. The past he buried resurfaces with a single revelation—his son.
Returning to the cartel world he barely escaped is a mission he can’t face alone. His brothers rally behind him, shifting their current operation to follow a trail that leads into the darkest corners of Mexico. What they encounter is far more than intel.
A pawn.
An heir.
A child.
Nicole Winter is a war correspondent with a reputation for chasing the truth. Smart. Relentless. And already three steps ahead. When their paths collide, she’s holding the one document Paul needs—and carrying secrets of her own.
As trust is tested and loyalties blur, the mission spirals. When Paul vanishes mid-operation, Nicole is left with one impossible task—to get the boy out alive.
Author J.L. Drake was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, later moving to Southern California where she lives with her husband and two children.
When she’s not writing she loves to spend time with her family, traveling or just enjoying a night at home. One thing you might notice in her books is her love for the four seasons. Growing up on the east coast of Canada the change in the seasons is in her blood and is often mentioned in her writing.
An avid reader of James Patterson, J.L. Drake has often found herself inspired by his many stories of mystery and intrigue.
She hopes you will enjoy her stories as much as she has enjoyed writing them.
The hopeless romantic who believed in her novels—that’s who I was. Until betrayal shattered me.
I lived by the rules. The good wife. The respected professor. The woman who never crossed the line.
Then my world unraveled in truths I wished were lies.
Now, I don’t know who I am anymore. But I know what I crave. Something deeper. Something darker. Something real.
And he sees it in me. Colt. My first love. My greatest mistake.
He offers me a challenge—one that strips away everything I thought I knew about control. No love. No promises. Just surrender. His game. His rules.
I should walk away. But every time he touches me, I come apart. I tell myself I can play without losing… just one more time.
Colt
Liberty spent her entire life trapped in a self-made cage. Now she’s standing before me, silently begging to be set free.
She thinks she can control this. That she can take what I give and still walk away unscathed. She’s wrong.
Because the moment she lets go of her fears around desire, everything changes. When she embraces all her raw, uninhibited fantasies, she ignites a fire that could consume us both.
This isn’t romance. It’s dominance. It’s control. A game she swears she won’t lose. But she’s playing against me.
And when it’s over… she still won’t understand the power I have… Which means she’ll come back for more.
Zara Teleg writes love stories that scorch the sheets, crack your heart wide open, and leave you begging for more. Her books are emotional, raw, sexy as hell—and always come with a side of redemption and realness.
A good girl raised Italian Catholic, Zara was nine years old when she fell in love with her first romance novel (Sweet Valley High, of course). By the time Jackie Collins entered her world, she was hooked on the bad boys with just enough heart hidden underneath to ruin your life in the best way.
Her heroines are fierce, quick-witted, and full of sexy surprises. Her heroes? All alpha male energy—commanding, magnetic, and more addictive than your favorite late-night craving. Zara believes in lust that lingers, chemistry that consumes, and heartbreak that hurts just enough to make the healing unforgettable.
Writing became her lifeline during a life-altering year—and now, it’s her passion. Her goal? To take you on a ride: fall in love, get wrecked, cry a little (or a lot), and end up feeling more alive than when you started. If you’ve ever played a love song on repeat, whispered “just one more chapter” at 2 a.m., or fallen for the wrong guy and liked it—Zara gets you.
She lives for sunrise coffee in bed (heavy on the cinnamon and sass), lifting heavy to moody playlists, and laughing until her abs hurt with her loud, loyal Italian crew. Her favorite place? Anywhere near the water—with her journal, her stories, and a damn good cup of coffee.
Whatever triumph we felt in taking down the Governor was short-lived.
Because the Rojas Cartel was already rising from the ashes.
If we thought we’d won by wiping out Rico Rojas, we were dead wrong. His nephew isn’t just carrying the mantle—he’s rewriting the legacy of the Rojas name by gutting everything we’ve built from the inside out.
Now we’re being torn apart at the seams. Clover and Phoenix are forced to flee to Vegas, Valerie’s fighting for survival in prison, and Alpha is drowning in a tsunami of emotions that threatens to pull him under. We’re surrounded, outnumbered, and running out of options.
My only hope lies in a rogue bird who should have been set free when I liberated the Nest. But she’s working for Rojas. For the enemy. Nighthawk might have blood on her blade, but she could be the key to bringing down the Cartel once and for all. Trusting her means risking everything on the belief that birds of a feather truly do flock together.
With families ripped apart and war erupting on all sides, I have to tap into the darkest parts of my training. Because when everything you love is at stake, it’s not just about survival—it’s about believing that in the end, Defiance will come out victorious.

Alex Sebring is a former professional rugby star—and a man with nothing left to prove. Fame, fortune, and adoration were once his everyday normal… until injury ripped him from the game and the headlines turned brutal. Now, he lives in quiet exile.
No press. No relationships. No complications.
He’s content to lick his wounds in peace.

Magnolia Steel is in Australia on a three-month work assignment. Just career focus… and maybe a little fun on the side. She never expects to connect with a stranger from behind a wall in a blind-dating suite. No faces. No names. Just voices—and something that feels dangerously real.
At the urging of his best friends, Jack and Laurelyn McLachlan, Alex proposes a deal: three months together, no expectations, no labels. But what begins as a simple arrangement turns into something far more complicated when hearts get involved.
They promised it would end when she left. But what if walking away is the one thing neither of them can do?
Sound familiar? Your favorite Australian caveman and his American girl return—a decade later—with a fresh twist on the love story that started it all.

A lifelong reader and proud cat wrangler of three, she writes romance with heart, heat, and a dash of Southern charm. Originally from rural Mississippi, she’s married to her best friend and is the proud mom of two amazing daughters.
I have been in love with Shepard Thorne since I was twelve.
He’s my best friend’s hot older brother, and I am the weird redhead who low-key follows him everywhere. He’s soccer’s bad boy, and I am stuck in a dead end job, serving drinks at the local strip club.
Our paths aren’t meant to cross.
Until one day I catch him getting a lap dance at the club and jealousy makes me ruin his fun.
Now he’s made it his mission to make my life hell and no matter what I do, there is no escape.
Everywhere I turn, there he is, waiting for his payback.
He threatens to kiss me one second, and choke me the next.
He promises to bring me to my knees and make me beg.
What started as a little harmless prank turns into a twisted game of blackmail that’s toxic but oh-so-good.
But it has to end.
Because I have a secret…
That ties me to my tormentor in an irrevocable way, and if he ever finds out, it will wreck everything I now crave.
Even his revenge.

Having been kidnapped by his mother at age ten and left to die in a fire, billionaire lawyer Ares Huxley trusts no one. But he needs a wife to get a critical promotion at his law firm, and wakes up the morning after a friend’s bachelor party to find that he’s somehow married to an eccentric blonde he doesn’t even remember meeting!
He immediately plans to annul, but it turns out she needs a husband to receive her inheritance. They have nothing in common, but if he plays along, she promises to be his dream wife.
The rules are simple: Share the marital bed every night, no real feelings, and the marriage ends in six months when they both have what they want.
But living with this accidental wife doesn’t produce the respectfully indifferent marriage he envisioned. Despite her innocence, she’s feisty both in and out of bed. His family adores her, and when he learns that her family treats her badly, he finds himself wanting to protect her. And maybe more.
Ares can’t stop thinking about his unexpectedly adorable, irresistible, and wonderful fake wife. But despite his evolving intentions—and emotions—she abides by their fake marriage rules a little too well.
Ares realizes the one thing his wife wants from him is the one thing he can no longer do: Let her go.
The Accidental Marriage is a standalone romance. If you love:
* fake marriage
* forced proximity
* he falls first
* he falls harder
* a scarred hero (and wait til you see just how scarred…)

What’s a bad boy to do with a woman like her?
Everything…
Aaliyah Montgomery isn’t just ditching her wedding. She’s also fleeing her suffocating small town and her family’s expectations. She’s got plans—for college, for finding herself. But landing a job in Chicago that fits her schedule isn’t easy. Good thing Von Howard is desperate to find a live-in nanny. Bad thing that he’s a gritty, grumpy, gorgeous tattoo artist carrying as much baggage as he has ink.
Von’s new hire is inexperienced and a fire hazard in the kitchen. She’s also all thick curls, thicker curves, and a distracting mix of innocence and sensuality. After the upheaval of a divorce, he just needs a nanny, not a sneaky link. Meanwhile, Aaliyah is bonding with his seven-year-old and showing an unexpected flair for tattoo art. Who could resist?
Yet deep down, Aaliyah’s still running—from her feelings and her fear of losing herself to someone else’s expectations again. Even as their pasts return to haunt them, their undeniable heat says maybe it’s time to stand and fight for a love they didn’t see coming.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new grumpy-sunshine standalone holiday romance
Blakely
When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.
I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a different story.
That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?
Oliver
My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.
In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.
That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can. She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan has been crowned the Queen of Swoon by her readers. With nearly fifty romance books under her belt, she’s known for penning happily ever afters with heart. When she’s not writing, you can find her with a book in her hand or hanging out with her family where she resides in her home state of Ohio.
I want to find my sister. Actually, I need to find my sister. I can’t count on my parents to do it. They’re too busy jet-setting around the world on useless vacations and bed-hopping from one tryst to the other. So it’s up to me. I mean, the police have no new leads—maybe I can do what they can’t do.
But instead of finding her, I find him.
Homeless, cynical, commanding, and without a doubt, the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
I’m drawn to him. Instantly and permanently. He sees me. The real me. The me that I show so few people.
There’s just one problem. Well, two problems, really. One, he doesn’t think he’s worthy. Of anything. And two, he doesn’t want me looking for my sister.
Crutch
I’m from the wrong side of the tracks. Hell, my side of town is so bad it doesn’t even have tracks. I come from addicts, thieves, and liars.
And her…
Well, she has enough money to solve world hunger and still wipe her hands on a gold-trimmed handkerchief when she’s done.
Girls like her throw pity at guys like me. That’s why I don’t let anyone see the real me. Find the ones who know nothing about you or where you’re from, have a little fun, and then walk away. That’s my modus operandi. And yes, I do know what that means. Being poor doesn’t mean I’m stupid.
I can’t let her go. And I know I should. I mean, she’s still in high school. But… I can’t walk away.
I might not have a choice, though. Especially if she doesn’t stop looking for her sister.
I’m back. Little did I know he’s back too. Apparently, I’m the only one who didn’t know.
Not only is he back in town, but he’s working my sister’s case. Declaring he’ll do anything to solve it. So why did he try to stop me all those years ago?
What the hell happened to him? I’ll tell you what happened. He ruined my life. He walked away and wrecked me. Made me turn into someone I hated. Made me turn to someone I hated. And while I was dragging myself through agony, he apparently was screwing half the women in Alabama.
I’ll never forgive him. And if he thinks he’s going to solve my sister’s case all by himself, he’s got another thing coming.
Because I’m the best there is.
Crutch
She’s back. And it’s pretty clear to see that everyone kept my secrets. They didn’t tell her about me.
Leaving her was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But she deserved more. I was nothing. A homeless, wayward mess of a guy. She wanted to save me, but I couldn’t let her derail her future. Not for me… because I was a nobody.
And I guess I made the right decision—because it sure didn’t take her long to turn to another. To turn back to the kind of life she claimed to despise.
And now, she wants to be a part of this investigation. Like I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. If she thinks she’s going to solve her sister’s case all by herself, she’s got another thing coming.
