FIERCE LOVE (TUCKER BILLIONAIRES) BY W. MILLION is #NowLive!

"Fierce Love is a masterpiece that finds it soul by exposing it's heart. From time loss to hope found, Hollyn and Nate are captivating." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Release Date: August 18, 2025

I broke my own heart to save my little sister.

I walked away from the only man I’ve ever loved to protect him.

Nathaniel was the rich boy. I was the girl with criminals for parents. First loves are never meant to last.

Now I’m back home on the island we grew up on for a new job. It should be a win-win. My sister loves this island with the small town feel that I escaped years ago.

All I want is a clean slate—to move forward.

But long days on the set of the TV show I’m working on with Nathaniel makes me relive all the moments of our past.

Every touch, every quiet moment, every questioning glance in his eyes—I know I won’t be able to stay away from him.

Even if it costs me everything.

This is the second book in the Tucker Billionaires, but this can be read as a standalone.

Content family member death, neglectful/cruel parents, substance abusing parents, criminals for parents

https://amzn.to/41jPjOe

Once in a while, after life gets you down, the universe throws you a bone. And if you’re really lucky, it comes in the form of a tattooed baby-wearing firefighter with piercing blue eyes and a heart of gold.

When Noah Hebert swung his axe and rescued me from a coffee shop bathroom, I had only a vague sense of who the tattooed lumberjack was. Turns out he’s more than broad shoulders and a thick beard. He’s a devoted single dad and my new neighbor.

Soon after, we find ourselves falling into an easy friendship. I help him with his fussy baby, and he helps me survive my ex-husband and little sister’s wedding. Despite my vow never to risk my heart again, my defenses quickly crumble. The sight of him rocking his sweet baby in those muscular, inked arms only makes matters worse. And when he defends me to my toxic family, the sparks of attraction between us catch fire.

I moved back here with a mission. Grow the food pantry and make our little town a better place. I can’t get mixed up with the grieving single dad, even if he likes to braid my hair and slow dance in the kitchen.

He moved across the country to escape the flames of his past and protect the little girl he now calls his own. But our town is sitting on a bed of secrets ready to ignite.

And when the heat causes my world to go up in smoke, I’m not sure it’s possible to sift through the rubble and find our happily ever after.

JUST RELEASED

High Stakes by @nanamalonewriter is #NowLive!

"Deep Pockets is the spark that creates the inferno that is High Stakes. Prepare to be consumed. Every beat of the heart rips away a piece of the soul. Morgan and Lance turn breathtaking attraction into heartbreaking romance." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

A marriage of convenience is the only way to get her back...and to keep her safe.

The beautiful Morgan doesn't need to know how dangerous the NYC waters have become. She doesn't need to know that old family debts have come to be settled.

She doesn't need to know the way I've longed for her. We can keep things cordial...at least until night falls.

The more time we spend together, the more I come to crave her. Another one of her laughs. A smile. And god, a kiss. I've become addicted to my own wife.

I lost her once. I won't lose her again.

She hates me for the secrets I've kept. But beneath that hatred burns a passion neither of us can deny. In my arms, she remembers what we once had. In my bed, she forgets why she ever left.

As threats close in from all sides, I'll risk everything to protect what's mine. Because some bonds can never be broken, some hearts can never truly be separated, and some loves are simply... inevitable.

High Stakes is a super steamy marriage-of-convenience romance where past wounds collide with present dangers, forcing two stubborn hearts to face the truth: sometimes what you fight the hardest is exactly what you need the most.

In a house full of rules, the only one they can't follow… is staying away.

Jesse Thorne

Local hero, firefighter, loner, and now grumpy landlord.

She wasn’t what he expected.

His new tenant is a walking disaster wrapped in sunshine, breaking every rule he sets and driving him insane.

Controlling her? Impossible.

Ignoring her? Even harder.

And he’s not sure he can stop it.

She’s under his skin, melting his frozen walls, and making him question everything—including his stubborn heart.

Casey Lawson

Roamer, IT specialist, current tenant, and golden ray of trouble.

Her new landlord is a thorn in her side with his never-ending house rules.

He’s always there when things go wrong—rescuing her with his strong arms and that sexy, smug smile. Breaking down her defenses, one gesture, one growl at a time.

They love to argue, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

And when they give in, it’s explosive.

Can they escape the fire without getting burned?
