All He Needs – Ace & Stephanie

One night sealed their fate…

Virginia “Ginny” Valentine didn’t think she could feel so connected to another person after one night of "just talking." The beautiful and famous country singer had everything in her life...everything but that connection. And after experiencing it for the first time, she wanted more, and she wanted it with him…

Dax Archer felt it the second he laid eyes on her. From that moment, the bodyguard and former Marine knew he had to make her his in every way possible. But when she disappeared from his life after leaving only a note to say she’d never forget him, he didn’t know how…

With some time set aside to create new music, Ginny was also ready to create something special with the man that consumed her every waking thought. After being reunited with the woman who owned him mind, body and soul, he was ready to make her feel all that he felt and more…

Former Army Ranger and cyber security specialist Nate Holmes was a genius in all things computers. The sexy, muscled Adonis could fix any technical problem he was faced with, but when it came to matters of the heart, there was one issue he couldn’t face…how he felt about her…

Eliza Young thought she’d put Harper’s Crossing in her rear view, but when a job opportunity opens up, the beautiful brunette is forced to return to her hometown and the setting of her unrequited first true love…

He thought he’d missed his chance, she thought she'd never had one. After ten years, fate had finally reunited Nate and Eliza, but the question remains--what do you do when you get a chance to get it right this time?  Will Nate have the courage and heart to claim her and…All He Desires...

Bailey Rossum was living out a bad country song.

After being stood up and having her pickup truck break down, Bailey found herself walking barefoot in a ball gown down a back road. And when her sexier-than-sin ex rides up on his steel horse Bon Jovi style to rescue her, she knows she has to accept his help even if it means breaking her heart all over again.

Josh Scott had no interest in being anyone’s hero.

After finding the only woman he’d ever loved stranded on the side of the road, Josh knew that he had to do the right thing. And when his headlight shone on long silky, blonde hair, huge doe eyes, and the most perfect set of lips ever created he knew his already shattered heart was in serious trouble.

To live in the present, Josh and Bailey have to face their past. If they do they just might have a future…and it all starts with just one night.

With her Type A personality, Bea Porter meticulously planned her friend Bailey’s bachelorette party in Vegas. Her plans did not include receiving contraception in the lobby of the hotel, walking in on two naked people (one of them dripping wet) and sustaining a head injury less than an hour after arriving in sin city.

World Series MVP CJ Rossum hadn’t planned on attending his sister Bailey’s bachelorette party. He also hadn’t planned on meeting a girl with eyes so blue they rivaled the Mediterranean, or claiming that girl was his girlfriend when he didn’t even know her name or making a pinky promise he knew he couldn’t keep.

Sometimes life and love have plans of their own.

Stand-alone Crossroads romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way!

Leah Porter is tired of the carousel of a-holes she's been riding for years. It does nothing but go round and round in circles, and she's ready to get off.

She's made a resolution, and she plans to stick to it--no more dating anyone she's attracted to. If she meets a guy with tattoos, muscles, a motorcycle, and seriously amazing hands...that would be her first sign to pass him by.

When she meets Lance Taylor, he checks all of those boxes, plus a few more she hadn't even thought of. Yep, full body tingles, lightheadedness, and weak knees had to be the second sign.

Right?

Lance Taylor knew one thing for sure--if he was attracted to a woman, that meant she was bad news. He didn't know how, and it might be months before he found out, but it never failed. If he felt something for a woman, it meant there was something seriously wrong with her.

Leah Porter seems different, and not just because of her pink hair and pinup curves. Everything about her tells him that she's not like anyone he's ever met before. But trusting that means trusting himself, and that's not something he'll ever do.

For the pink-haired pinup and the motorcycle man, is love enough to overcome the past and give them a future?

Ella Fletcher spent all of high school in love with the boy next door--her best friend, Donovan. It was never more than that, but she fooled herself into believing friendship was enough.

Donovan Valentine knew he could never make a move on his best friend Ella. After all, she depended on him. He was the only stable man in her life. If denying his feelings was the price he had to pay for protecting hers, then he was more than willing to pay it.

Celebrating their high school graduation, they drunkenly took part in a marriage ceremony using fake IDs. But now, fifteen years later, it turns out that the IDs weren't so fake, and neither is the marriage.

When Donovan returns to Valentine Bay to straighten things out, will this accident turn into the best thing that ever happened to them?

*** Standalone romance with HEA and no cliffhanger ***

Cookie “Hunter” Knox was good at his job, infiltrating behind enemy lines was one of his specialties. His SEAL team relied on him to do his job, just as he relied on them to do theirs. Ever since two of his teammates found a woman that completed them, their dangerous Ops seemed a bit more intense. Cookie knew if he had a woman who belonged to him, he’d never let her go. Little did he know the SEAL team’s latest mission to Mexico would change his life forever. 

Fiona Storme resigned herself to the fact that it was highly unlikely she would make it out of the jungle alive. Kidnapped by human traffickers, abused, and without family or friends looking for her, Fiona knew wishing for rescue was as realistic as having a big, juicy hamburger fall from the sky. Unbeknownst to Fiona, the SEAL team, including Cookie, were on the way, but their assignment didn't consist of rescuing her. 

**Protecting Fiona is the 3rd book in the SEAL of Protection Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s recommended you read the books in order to get maximum enjoyment out of the series.
