I was living my dream… until it turned into a nightmare.
 
My little cabin in the woods of Vermont was everything I’d hoped it would be. Quiet. Rustic. Beautiful. On top of that, my only neighbor was the most intriguing man I’d met in years.
Then one night my cozy sanctuary was invaded, and I ended up facing off against a man who tried to kill me. On the run, injured and scared, I fled my house in search of protection.

Even in the midst of my terror, there wasn’t a question of who I would go to.
Knox. My neighbor-turned-friend. A man I would have considered dating had things been different. And highly skilled from his years in the Army.

As I hoped, Knox didn’t hesitate to come to my aid. But the man who came after me is still out there, and until he’s caught, I’ll never be safe.

The last thing I was expecting was violence right outside my back door.
After years in the Army, of memories I’d rather forget, I came back to Vermont in search of a new beginning. In the time I’ve been here, I found even more than I ever imagined. A home. A business. A team. And the purpose I’d been missing.
My life was busy, and I liked it that way. Maybe I wasn’t happy, but I was content.

As my friends all coupled up, sometimes I thought about a relationship. But the only woman I’d consider opening up to has never given a sign she wants anything more than friendship.

Do I still think about Lark and wonder? Absolutely.

Then she comes to me for help, hurt, terrified, bleeding, and everything is thrown into stark clarity. I’ll do anything to protect her. To make her happy. To see her gorgeous smile again. And now I know friendship isn’t enough anymore.

Mountain Protector is the second book in the Green Mountain Guardians series. It has a protective alpha hero, a smart and strong heroine, a team of Special Ops veterans, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments, all set during the Christmas season! You’ll find plenty of holiday romance here! Happily-ever-after guaranteed! (can be read as a standalone)

Fear what hides in the shadows …
Skel:

It’s supposed to be a simple job—a request from my new president to scout a potential business.
The strip club in Vegas is nothing special, as routine as any other in the City of Sin. But when I walk in the door, I find a curvy blonde fighting off an overeager, handsy customer.
I step in, sweeping her into my arms and issuing a warning to anyone trying to force themselves on a woman. Lacey isn’t grateful. She’s pissed.
When I leave, I can’t stop thinking about her. She intrigues me. It only takes a few seconds to realize she’s just the type of woman I would fall for. Lacey is heaven on the eyes and hell on the heart.
She’s wrong in every way: too young, troubled, on the opposite side of the law, and hiding a secret that could shatter the new club I joined.
I should stay away.
But I can’t. I have to follow her home, ensuring she’s safe. Something isn’t right when I park my bike. Busting down her door, I stop a vicious attack, saving Lacey’s life. Her enemy? It’s the same one my club has declared war against.
Now, Lacey is mine to protect, and I won’t let anyone harm her. She’s got secrets, but I do, too.
It’s almost Halloween. All the spooky, creepy things that play on the devil’s night? I command them.
She has no idea how vicious I’ll become to end every threat against her and the club. I’m unleashing the monster within, and he’s got a ravenous appetite.
Rattlin' Bones is part of the Royal Bastards MC world. It's a dark romance with a Halloween theme, violence, biker slang, steamy scenes, torture, revenge, and a slight paranormal twist. One woman's quest to stop injustice becomes a veteran's redemption. This wicked tale features a possessive, protective, outlaw V.P., and the determined woman who'll risk her life to ensure a criminal faces the judge for his crimes.

Excerpt Reveal: Guarded from Sabotage by Gia Cobie

I never imagined my life could fall apart so quickly.
It all started when my credit card was stolen.
I chalked it up to bad luck. A minor annoyance. Until more things started happening—fraudulent loans taken out in my name, my bank accounts drained, and I was even accused of a crime I couldn’t possibly have committed.
And it became terrifyingly clear this wasn’t just bad luck. This was intentional. Someone was methodically tearing apart my entire life, and when I tried to get help, no one would believe me.
As the walls closed in, I kept asking myself, who would do this to me? Where can I turn?
Then my best friend connected me with Blade and Arrow Security, and I realized there’s a silver lining in all this.
Dante. A man I met once and never forgot. He believes me. And as this identity theft turns to something much more dangerous, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect me.
 
There was a spark from the first time we met.
When I met Sarah at our friends’ wedding, there was just something about her that drew me. But she wasn’t available, and I wasn’t looking for a relationship. Not to mention, she lived almost two thousand miles from me.
A year and a half later, everything changed. I moved to Texas to start up the new branch of Blade and Arrow Security with a group of former Green Berets, just like me. Not long after, Sarah came to us for help.
When I go to meet her, she’s just as amazing as I remember. Beautiful. Smart. Kind. Single. And now we live less than a hundred miles from each other. Close enough to see if this spark between us can turn into something more.
Except she’s a client, and I’m in charge of her case. And I’m worried that pursuing a relationship will cloud my focus. Put her in more danger than she already is.
But it’s getting harder to deny my feelings for her. And the more time I spend with her, the less I want to.

Cruel
Cunning
Ruthless
A beast in disguise.
My family rules Vegas with an iron fist and when another family crosses us…As the patriarch of my family, I have been chosen as the instrument of revenge. It’s a job I relish.
The prize I’m after… the mob boss’s youngest daughter, Nia.
As beautiful as she is sought after, I’m certain she knows her father’s darkest secrets and she’s the key to his undoing.
The only question is how to get my little songbird to sing?
As sweet as she is innocent, she wants to be good.
But I’m older, wiser, hard as they come. She’s no match for me…
I see the way her pupils dilate and her breath hitches every time I’m near. I know the truth. She wants me.
So how am I going to convince Nia to betray her family, her father?
There is only one weapon for this salacious battle.
Seduction.
 
NIA
My family could only dream of having the power and success of the Kincaid’s. Why my father tried to challenge them, I don’t know and I don’t want to.
The only thing I want from this life is to get out.
But my plans are ruined when my father can’t make good on his debts and the Kincaids send their most devilish weapon…. Jake Kincaid.
Instead of leaving, I find myself smack in the middle of their war. Two men hardened by years of fighting.
On one side, my cruel manipulative father. The other… Jake Kincaid, a lion on the prowl. I shouldn’t want him, but the attraction that pulls at me is electric.
I won't be my father's pawn and I won't give in to this crazy desire for Jake.
So, I run.
But Jake Kincaid is a beast of a man. A predator. And what do predators do?
They chase their prey…
