Also available in Ebook and Paperback.



He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me.


I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was.


My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.


Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he

uses the horn like a weapon.


And, no, that’s not a euphemism.


He can’t manage a sentence

without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the

body of a Greek god.


Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn. 


A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn.


Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me.


And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should.


But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. 


Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played?

REVIEW: PLAY ME BY ADRIANA LOCKE


Play Me
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From laugh out loud to introspective, Play Me is an endearing perspective on the chaos of foolish pride. Astrid and Gray push every button. Locke blends sweet and spicy with larger than life and frustrating to deliver an irresistibly fun heartbreaker.

Piper Rayne has revealed the cover for The Nest Before Christmas!


Releasing: December 4, 2025

Cover Designer: Hang Le






A grounded plane. A questionable Greyhound bus. A brotherhood on a mission.

When the team’s plane gets grounded right before Christmas, the Falcons will stop at nothing to make it home for the holidays, including launching their own Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-style mission across the country to get back to their wives and kids.

Meanwhile, their wives are back in Chicago, juggling babies, pregnancy tests, and a missing gender-reveal envelope.

From FaceTime flirting gone wrong to a Greyhound bus disaster, the guys’ determination never wavers—because nothing says love like a man sprinting through a snowstorm to make it home before Christmas.

Elizabeth O'Roark has revealed the narrators for My Favorite Fake Romance

Narrated by: Kasi Hollowell and James Cassidy

Releasing: December 11, 2025




Faking it never felt this good.
Dr. Easton Walsh thought she’d be showing up to her best friend’s wedding with a dazzling ring and a fiancé everyone wanted to Instagram. Instead, her boyfriend dumped her over what was supposed to be a proposal dinner and the only man offering her a lifeline is the last one she’d ever choose: Elijah Cabot. Her best friend’s older brother. The guy who broke her heart once already.

He'll help make her ex jealous...All she has to do is help him drive his grandmother across several states to the wedding. Easy.

But the fake relationship is starting to feel real, and the longer the trip goes on, the harder it is for Easton to remember that Boston—and her carefully built life—don’t include Elijah. Especially when her ex starts dangling threats that could derail her career if she doesn’t come back to him.

Now Easton has to decide: risk everything for a second chance at the one man she shouldn’t want…or keep playing it safe, even if it means losing the best thing that’s ever happened to her—again.

BLURB

 

Twenty-nine-year-old Montgomery Keller learned long ago that to survive, hiding in plain sight is a necessity. This is especially true when you’re a bear shifter. His life in sleepy, idyllic Laurel Forest, North Carolina, is quiet, predictable, and almost entirely—blissfully—people-free, apart from a couple of locals and his neighbor, Andy. He’s alone, but that suits him and his needs perfectly. 

Until he met her.

Festive to the core, and in town for the holidays to watch her niece while her brother, Andy, is away, Evalina Resa is determined to spread Christmas cheer. Even toward her brother’s grumpy, but absolutely gorgeous, neighbor. However, his lack of interest in anything Christmas—or joy-related, for that matter—suggests that nothing can crack his tough exterior. 

But when a broken heater and a cold snap hit, Montgomery opens his home to Evalina and her niece. What starts as prickly hospitality turns into lingering glances, unplanned laughter, and a slow-burn pull neither of them anticipated.

When the holiday peace is shattered and danger strikes this quiet mountain town, Montgomery must choose between running or staying to protect the woman who makes him want more than his solitary existence . . . a woman his heart demands he protect.

Pre-order TODAY!

BLURB

 

An innocent witness to brutality. A twisted and deviant plan. Two lives forever scarred.

Aiden Callahan was a lethal, disarmingly beautiful man. A mobster forged in blood, betrayal, and sin. 

Worst of all… he was my husband. 

Five years ago, I did something unforgivable. Now, my past has come to collect its debt.

I told myself I did what I had to in order to survive. That he wouldn’t hurt me. That carrying his heir made me untouchable.

I was wrong.

The man I ran from no longer exists, and I’m no longer the woman he married. 

His demons raged, loud and unforgiving. Mine refused to bow.

Together, we were chaos. Beautiful and deadly chaos.

BRAND NEW M/M ROMANCE!
- SURPRISE RELEASE -




The Prince's Forbidden Bodyguard by Leslie McAdam is LIVE!!!


 


https://geni.us/PrinceBodyguard
Read Now With Kindle Unlimited


 


As the crown prince of Sweden, I need a security detail, especially while traveling in a foreign country. What I don't need are feelings for my hot, tattooed bodyguard, Logan. My rule, which I've followed for the past two years, is to ignore him. I never let on how he affects me, and I keep him at arm's length.


After all, I'm straight.


Ish.


But on the Sunshine Coast, I get up close and personal with one of Australia's dangerous animals, and Logan rescues me. In the aftermath of that experience, I'm exhausted and my barriers are down, and there he is, as always, taking care of me and seeing to my needs.


Maybe I've been wrong to distance myself from him. Maybe here, Down Under, I can make an exception to my rule.


The Prince's Forbidden Bodyguard is a steamy 10k word short story originally published in the Southern Skies anthology. It's about the brother of Prince Jasper from Off Track.
