This right here is why I’ve never told her how I’ve felt about her older brother all these years. This exact, disturbing reason.

Because as far as crushes on the big bad brother of childhood best friends go, imagine the hottest, most swoonworthy, and intensely protective man you can, add more muscles than you could lick in a lifetime, then throw a Navy SEAL uniform on him.


Yeah, that’s Corwin Hale.


And now that Corwin knows about my hidden fear and hidden feelings, he’s taking matters into his own hands.


For the record, his methods? Highly effective.

Book 1: Unraveled (Corwin & Belle)

Book 2: Unveiled (Lucas & Theresa)

Book 3: Untapped (Teague & Charlie)


This series of dirty & sweet quickies features three hot, alphalicious military buddies and the feisty curvy girls that bring them to their knees.

Previously published as Curvy When Wet (c) 2014 with extensive revisions throughout and a new, extended ending.

Three simple words. A seemingly perfect solution after my car breaks down.

So why am I so nervous about this? Sure, I’ve harbored the biggest crush on him for over a decade. But one road trip isn’t going to clue him in on that well-kept secret.

I can’t put my finger on what’s making this ride feel like a big deal. That is, until he pulls me close and revs the hard rumbling engine of his bike. 

Okay, things are definitely different.

And the ride hasn’t even begun yet.

Previously published as Riding Curves (c) 2012 with revisions throughout, newly added content, and an extended ending.

I’ve been keeping a very big, very necessary secret from his entire family for years now. I’ve never liked having to do it. In fact, it’s why I’ve been avoiding him from practically the first day we met.

Because strangely, I want to let him in. But being an FBI agent is the only thing I’ve ever felt was my true calling. Losing everything I’ve spent years building would just decimate me.

Problem is, I don’t have a choice anymore. I’m desperate for the kind of help only he can provide. Like I’ve always told my sister, I’d have to be no-other-choice desperate for it to come to this.

And I am.

LUKE: It’s been a while since I’ve caught someone stealing from me—I’m just not the kind of man people make that mistake with often. Hell, if I’d been able to take my eyes off of her that night, she would’ve gotten away with it, too; she’s that good. And yeah, this mess she’s in is bad enough I don’t fault her actions. Still, letting her go is out of the question. I know she thinks I’m as dangerous as they come, and in some ways I am. Given how protective I’m starting to feel about her, dangerous doesn’t even begin to describe the lengths I’ll go to keep her safe.

Doesn’t help matters that Miss Independence insists she doesn’t have time to get sidetracked with a personal life. Which she stubbornly maintains even while looking at me like she’s the lumberjack and I’m the tree she wants to climb.

Good thing she’s on a mission to catch the bad guys—her one shot at greatness, she believes—and needs my help to do it. A ride is all she says she wants. And trust me, I’m damn sure it’s more than she’s ever asked any man for before. 

So, of course I’m going to give her a ride.

…But I’m not promising to behave.

Previously published as Walker Pierce (c) 2017, completely rewritten in first person POV and revised throughout with newly added content, a different extended ending, and a bit more steam (note that this hero makes a point not to rush the heroine—making his gruff patience its own brand of sexy—so the book does start a little tamer than my usual stuff, but it picks up, as it is a Christa Wick book, after all *grin*).

After I somehow (miracle of miracles) manage to keep my hands off her for a few (torturous) months, she drops a bomb I just didn't see coming.

Apparently, what she's secretly wanted for some time now is one night with me--her first time, no less--while she still has a fraction of her deteriorating vision left.

Hell, I don’t know what the right thing to do here is. But what I do know is that protecting her isn’t just a job for me anymore. 

And one night?

That’s damn sure not going to cut it.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first hero-only POV book (so much fun!). Wake was just too deliciously growly and protective, I just had to get in his head for every chapter. Enjoy!

Pippa: The idea that my richest and most gorgeous client just proposed to me feels like a crazy joke, or a pitch for some weird reality show. But the thing is, my situation is dire enough that taking Blake up on his offer is a given. I’ll have to keep my wits about me though. Otherwise, the man who’s willing to go through all this to rescue me (because that’s just the kind of guy he is) will be the man I’ll end up falling for harder than I already have.

Blake: So, that just happened. I just proposed and saved Pippa's business in one fell swoop. Of course I did. I’ve been protective of her from the very start of our friendship. And now that she’s wearing my ring, protective doesn’t even begin to cover the way I feel. That I stepped up to help her out of the mess she’s in was always a given. But the fact that I had to take such drastic measures to begin with? That’ll all make sense soon enough.

All I have to do first is convince the most stubborn woman alive that I really am in love with her.

Four words no man has ever uttered to a woman. Except for my man. Or my best friend, rather.

Well, he didn't actually ask me to fake it, I just did. How else was I going to prevent his unexpected family emergency from turning into a tragedy?

And honestly, I'm not really faking my feelings. I've been madly in love with the guy forever. Yes, I know that going along with all this probably isn't the smartest or safest idea.

But, I'm always the smart, safe one.

For once, I want to be the sexy, irresistible one.

Two words I'd never imagined would ever come out of his mouth, and he's saying them to me.

One problem. He isn't proposing so much as proposing a solution to a problem. A big one I never knew existed that'll take both of us to fix.

Pragmatically proposed or not, imagining a life with him is as easy as breathing. We were lifelong friends, after all--until we weren't. He went away without explanation. Now he's back.

The thing is, it takes more than a slowly rekindling friendship to sustain a marriage.

And with each passing day he wears me down, I'm starting to think he's known that all along.

Interestingly, the fact that my heart is stubbornly holding onto this ill-advised crush is actually related to my other secret. It’s sort of an occupational hazard, really, when you’re the pseudonymous author behind a popular series of wildly romantic books that are all fantastically dirty.

Seriously, if this gets out, it won’t be a huge leap to figure out why my ridiculously rugged heroes are all government-issued. Or why the hottest one by far bears a striking resemblance to a certain disciplined-to-the-max, protective-to-the-extreme Marine who treats me like a kid sister.

So, here we are, my two secrets and I sharing the same roof as Lucas Weaver for a stint, with me seemingly unable to stop ruffling and riling him up at every turn. What can I say? Clearly, I'm not the same girl I was when I first started falling for him. But then again, he's not exactly the same guy either.

Because those fictional heroes I've been basing on Lucas?

They've got nothing on him now that he knows...everything.

NOTE: It was such a blast collaborating with my great friend Tessa Wood (who’s just masterful with the sweet & steamy) on this **ALL NEW** book for Lucas & Theresa. Hope you have as much fun reading this co-written story as we had writing it (it's a first for us both, but definitely not the last)!

I’d attended my meddling Great Aunt Dotty’s local bachelor auction with every intention of winning a date with the handsome doctor in town I’ve had my eye on for a few years now. And even if that hadn’t been the case, believe you me, Sheriff Gamble is the absolute last man that should’ve been on my radar when the bidding began. 

It’s tough enough being a female deputy in a small town and a big family with way more overprotective males than any single girl should have. Last thing I need is gossip flying about me and my admittedly hot, mysteriously brooding boss.

Still. Something happened when that auction got under way. Things got heated, and somehow I ended up outbidding every damn woman in the place.

Now, I’ve officially won buff, gruff Jude Gamble for eight hours next week.

And I don’t have a clue in hell what to do with him…

To be fair, I'm actually the dictionary definition of a good girl…except when I'm thinking about him.

And now that he knows how I feel, what I've been hiding from him this entire time, he won't let me hide from it. He certainly won't let me run from it.

The thing is, he's been hiding his feelings from me too.

And his version of dirty? So much better than mine.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Even by my steamy standards, this one is admittedly super sexy. Lily may technically still have her v-card, but she is far FAR from innocent...and she's definitely met her match in ultra-gruff, panty-meltingly alpha Major Logan (it's always those serious, quiet ones that can shock the hell out of you...in the dirtiest possible ways). Enjoy!

Now it’s three years later and I’m deep undercover with the FBI. Figures that the bikers I’m trying to take down would be targeting her; that’s just my damned luck.

Ironically, she’s free to love anyone she wants now. But she doesn’t know that she can trust me. And I don’t know that I can trust myself to be around her again.

Regardless, I’m going to keep her safe—with my life if it comes to it. Honestly, the risk to my survival, I’m trained to deal with. But the risk to my heart in all this? That’s a whole different story…

Still, it’s fate. 

Not just because I need a ride asap to join the other smokejumpers in my crew already gearing up at the airstrip to fight a massive forest fire heading toward my family ranch, but more so because this is going to be a helluva story we’ll be telling our grandkids one day.

Just as soon as I can get the skittish thing to trust that I’m nothing like whatever it is she’s been running from.

Previously published as Barrett Cole (c) 2017, completely rewritten in first person POV and revised throughout with newly added content, a different extended ending, and a touch more steam (note that this hero is really gentle with his skittish heroine, so the book does start a little tamer than my usual stuff -- but it picks up, as it is a Christa Wick book, after all *grin*).

Of course, with my luck, it isn’t the evil paparazzi who catch me in the act. It’s billionaire Ian Dekker himself. And weirdly enough, he’s amused by the whole thing (this time—let’s not get into the last three times…the man really needs better security). He even takes a photo of me on his phone in all my breaking-and-entering glory as a souvenir.

This whole thing is going to kill my career, I just know it. But I don’t care. Saving my dad’s big cat rescue from being demolished by Dekker and his big property development plans is the goal. My parents already endured enough at the hands of another rich guy without a conscience. Preventing it from happening again is the only thing that matters.

Only, Ian’s different from the other life-ruining billionaire. Still richer than sin. But different. He’s actually willing to help my family.

And what he wants in exchange…is me.

Ginny: I swear, the man has got some kind of professional billionaire player handbook he's operating out of. Not to mention a truckload of tenacious swooniness going for him. But I've got my reasons for keeping my guard up. He's good. Too good. And if I don’t watch myself, I'm going to end up tripping and falling right on his...

Hawk: I swear, the woman doesn't just have her defenses up, she's got a fully armed artillery pointed straight at my balls. She's sweet though, underneath all the cactus-like prickliness. Smart, too. Convincing her to come work for me was step one. And step two? Hell, let me just focus on surviving step one with all my favorite body parts intact first...

I refuse to break. I can't say that I've been through worse, but I still believe I'll survive this. I'm not going to crumble at the seams. If I do, Collin's enemies will have won. And everything we've both lost would have been for nothing.

I know it seems crazy to return to my old life and try to get a fresh start in a place with more bad memories than good, courtesy of my crook of a stepfather. But it's all I have. And all I need. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

...Until Collin bursts back into my life.

* * * * *

I refuse to let Mia suffer. I may know jack about healing--vengeance seems to be all I'm capable of right now--but that doesn't mean I can't protect her from more pain. God knows my world has caused her enough of that to last a lifetime.

I understand her need to start a new life. Hell, I even want that for her...even though I'm sure it'll end up killing me and decimating my hopeless heart for good. But I'll do anything for her. Even this. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

...Until I almost lose her all over again.

NOTE: While this is the Collin Stark (CEO of Stark International) mentioned throughout the Savage Trust series, the events of his story actually take place prior to Wrecked, Scarred, and Frayed. Be advised that Collin and Mia's story is a two-part 80K word duet. This is Book 2. Book 1 takes place six months before the start of this book, and as such, the books need to be read in order.

He thinks I'm a corporate spy. Me--plump, boring Mia James. Yes, I omitted an advanced degree on my resume, but being overqualified to be able to pay rent wasn't how I was going to start my newly single (okay, newly dumped) life.

Do I regret doing it? Seeing as how I got a junior secretary position in my field, for the private military company run by billionaire badass CEO Collin Stark no less, I'm going to go with 'no.' No regrets here. Which is what I basically tell Mr. Stark when he starts questioning my motives.

Did I mention he's an ex-Army interrogator? Or that he's too intense to put into words? While it's obvious he doesn't trust me, that's probably a good thing. Because something tells me if that hot, hardened man were to ever fully trust a woman, his intensity level over her would be...off the charts.

* * * * *

She thinks I haven't noticed her all this time. Hell, I'd have to be missing both a brain and functioning balls to overlook the quietly enigmatic woman who's clearly too smart and skilled to be working in any entry-level capacity for me.

I don't want to believe Mia's capable of corporate espionage. But given the evidence, it's hard to think otherwise. Not that I seem to be capable of a whole lot of rational thought when I'm around her. She's my own curves-for-days kryptonite--which just makes her that much more dangerous.

Is it possible my enemies planted a woman in my company to seduce me (in the most awkwardly tempting way possible)? In the past, I would've said no way in hell. But after getting a taste of just how hot Mia can burn, I'm starting to see it's definitely possible...and damn worth it, either way.

Trent Kane doesn’t know what to make of the woman standing in his office preparing to go face certain death armed only with a plan that has no chance in hell of working. When he learns her connection to the infant he recently saved, the solution is simple; she’s getting his help, whether she wants it or not.

As far as Daniella’s concerned, trusting this bossy, hardened, brutally protective stranger is never going to happen. He may be the big, bad Chief Operating Officer of a private military firm with unlimited resources, but he’s also the coldest—albeit, intensely compelling—man she’s ever met.

The way Trent sees it, this woman effectively turning his life upside down is a risk to herself, and him as well. Despite everything, she still believes in love, which tells him she has no place in his world. Precisely why he needs to ignore their dangerous chemistry and quit being so damn attracted to her.

But, as hell begins to rain down all around them, one thing becomes evident very quickly.

They’re both going to fail at their well-laid plans.

Her first love, the only person to love her at all.

His reason to exist, the one person he’d risk everything for.

That was ten years ago.

He never knew she'd protected him the only way she could by refusing to escape with him then.

And she never knew he'd survived the fire set to kill him despite her sacrifice.

It isn’t until her name appears on a kill order ten years later that Mikhael finally learns of the decade of torture Alina has suffered at the hands of a man more evil than even he realized.

But rescuing her is just the beginning.

Now, with secrets too painful to reveal, and the horrors from her imprisonment still shackling her psyche, the only question left unanswered between them is whether the scars she bears are too deep for even his love to heal.
