It all started with a cat on my roof.


My neighbor's Siamese to be exact.


When Mrs. Higgins begged me to go up on my roof to save Chloe, I did it to appease her because she thought the cat was stuck.


The cat wasn't stuck.


But I was.


The ladder fell, Mrs. Higgins called 9-1-1, and the guy I’d had a crush on since high school arrived with the fire department and saved me.


To my surprise, he asked me out, and our relationship took off.


That was until I got the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Paris for six months and didn't see him again for two years when he was a passenger on the flight I was working.


I was still in love with him, but he told me he was now a part-time gigolo, and there was no way I could ever share him with anyone else. Even if the job was only for money.


So, I let him go.


Like I should have done with that damn cat in the first place.

A storm never felt so safe.

Desperate for a new life, Gretchen escapes her abusive ex and finds refuge in the small town of Gracemont. Her plan is simple: lay low. But when she meets Theo Storm, her sexy new boss, everything changes. Drawn into the warmth of his world, Gretchen discovers the possibility of happiness, love, and family—things she thought were out of her reach.

For Theo, it’s love at first touch. From the moment he takes Gretchen’s trembling hand, he knows he’s found someone worth fighting for. Though he senses she’s hiding something, he’s determined to help her overcome her painful past.

When old demons come knocking, Theo calls on his family to help protect the woman who’s quickly claimed his heart. The Storms are a force of nature, and they step up, ready to defend their own at any cost.

Will they succeed in keeping Gretchen safe, or will her dangerous past tear her and Theo apart?






#Excerpt

When Gretchen placed her hand in his, Theo felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. The Earth tilted on its axis and a large part of him was shocked he managed to remain on his feet. 

He tightened his grip, trying to calm her trembling—and now his own—even though the connection of their hands lingered past the normal length of time for a handshake.

If Theo had his way, he’d never let go.

Gretchen held his gaze, a multitude of emotions crossing her face, too many for Theo to take in. All he knew was that he wanted to understand every single one of them. Wanted to know why she looked scared, confused, sad, intrigued, regretful, determined, and even hopeful. It was all there, reflected in those beautiful blue eyes of hers.

“Gretchen,” he murmured, needing to feel her name on his lips again, smiling down at the slim, gorgeous woman, who stared back at him looking slightly startled. 

Did she feel it too?

Suddenly, he recalled the story his father had often told about the first time he’d met Theo’s mother, the way he’d known in an instant that Mom was the woman he was going to marry.

Then he remembered a more recent conversation between him and Levi, who’d sworn he’d known the second he touched Kasi that she was meant to be his. 

Theo had been amused by the story, even though he’d discounted it. Because that wasn’t how love worked.

Or so he’d thought.

Right now, though.

In this moment.

It was just as Levi had said.

Love at first touch.

Well…

This was inconvenient.

BLURB


There’s a storm coming… and he’s not taking no for an answer.


Life has dealt Kasi one blow after another. Following her mother’s untimely death, her family implodes, leaving her alone to run the farm. Fatigue and stress have become her new best friends, every day passing in a blur of work, work, and more work. When Levi Storm, her lifelong crush, keeps her from face-planting due to exhaustion, she’s mortified…and more than a little bit turned on.


A person could set a clock by Levi’s daily routine, right down to his afternoon trip to the Mills’ farm market to buy one of Kasi’s delicious pies. He’s known Kasi her entire life, so when the beautiful young woman faints in front of him, coming to in his arms, Levi is stunned by the sudden realization that she’s meant to be his, and he’s prepared to move heaven and earth to claim her.


Kasi should at least try to shake the sexy new six foot five shadow she’s acquired, but Levi’s much-needed help around the farm, his comfort as she struggles with grief, and his breath-stealing kisses are reigniting the hope and happiness she’s lost.


Until reality crashes in again, forcing her to choose between the dominant, possessive, amazing man who makes her heart race and her family’s beloved farm.

Playing with Forever (Players Club Sinners #1) by Erika Wilde



"Temptation that breaks all the rules and lands the heart in dangerous territory." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release DateJune 23, 2025


Chase Noble always seemed unattainable…until one night with him at the Players Club changed everything.


I’ve wanted Chase for years, but much to my frustration, he’s always considered me off limits. When I walk into the Players Club with one goal in mind, to find a man who will give me what I need, it’s the maddeningly dominant, possessive (and I soon discover, pierced) Chase who refuses to allow any other man to touch me. He gives me a night I’ll never forget, a taste of what is possible, and I want more. With him.


But Chase is a man with a dark past and secrets, and even though we come to an agreement, where I’m the student and he’s the teacher, he insists this is all it could ever be. That he’s not capable of anything more.


Just as things begin to heat up between us, someone starts leaving me cryptic messages and watching my every move. Chase insists I move in with him so he can protect me, and the moment I do, our undeniable chemistry ignites into something deeper than either of us expected.


Soon, his protection isn’t enough. I want all of him—his body, his heart, and his trust. And this time, I’m not letting him go without a fight.


Playing with Forever is a steamy romance with high stakes tension, a possessive alpha hero, and a love worth fighting for.
