Ava
The King boys have been the center of my life for as long as I remember. Theo has been my best friend since I was four, and our families are as close as can be.
Except Matthias. The oldest King son never failed to look miserable whenever I was around, and every word out of his mouth to me was cruel.
Until a snowstorm trapped us in his house, and we shared two perfect days together.
That was five years ago. Now his father’s dying, and he’s back at the estate and more vicious than ever, as if our time together meant nothing to him.
I should hate him. I should be able to forget him now that I have a chance to be happy with someone else.
There’s just one problem. I can’t stop thinking about the man who stole my heart one snowy night all those years ago.
Matthias
She thinks I don’t remember our time together. She’s wrong. I’ve never forgotten.
Not when I moved to a different continent. Not when I didn’t hear from her for five years. Not even though I’ve tried my damnedest to forget her.
I want to hate her. I should. But I can’t. All I can do is look on with jealousy as Ava finds happiness with another man.
What do you do when the one person standing in the way of your happiness is your own brother?

Growing up as the youngest Doughty meant missing out on a normal life.
I didn’t want the life I was dealt, but I also felt I had no choice except to embrace my legacy. My family had targets placed on their backs, simply because of our name and the power we held, so I knew I had to be ready for anything that came my way.
Being sent to boarding school was a way to protect me—and get me away from the very life I didn’t want—but it also brought me something else.
Shane.
My brothers took him in, and I chased away the nightmares that came with his tortured past, ignoring the burning desire I knew was there, because I didn’t want to ruin our fast-found friendship.

Rushton

From the moment I see her, I’m hooked. There’s just something about Crosby that has me eager to know her. One thing’s for sure, I can’t stay away from the new kindergarten teacher with the kind smile and secrets in her brown eyes.
There’s no hiding in a small town, and she’s suddenly everywhere. My family loves her, my niece won’t stop talking about her, and I…well, I just want to make her mine.
Crosby is everything I didn’t know I was doing looking for, but the wall she keeps up makes it impossible to love her the way I want to. I have to figure out how to tear it down, and fast— because she’s not so sure she’s sticking around, and I’m not prepared to let her walk away from Willow River… or me.
Crosby
Another new town, another new school. But this time I’m not the struggling new kid; I’m the teacher. It’s hard to let go of my past, when it refuses to let go of me. I live in a constant state of unease, never knowing what the future holds. Especially when it comes to love.
Rushton isn’t like other guys. He’s open and honest. What you see is what you get. He’s made his intentions very clear. But I’m afraid getting involved only spells heartbreak for both of us. If growing up in foster care taught me anything, it’s not to get too close and definitely don’t get comfortable.
So, I learned to be good at goodbye. But for the first time in my life, I’ve found a place I want to put down roots. Rushton, his family, Willow River, my students—they all make me wish for once that I could stay. That we could… stay together.

ABOUT MISTI 

Misti Murphy is a sadistic b*tch who loves to emotionally torture fictional people. If she did that in real life she’d probably end up in prison or a psych ward so she prefers to create dirty talking alphas and the sexually frustrated women who fall into their beds. And if someone needs to be smacked upside the head before f*cking turns to love then that makes her very happy indeed. 


She’s a huge believer in flaws making us human, and that not everyone likes bacon. She’s also addicted to chocolate and scared of the effects of the coming shortage. She swears like a f*cking trooper, and thinks that graphic smuttiness should be as real in fiction as it is in real life. 


When she’s not writing she’s the perfect housewife and mother. Ha bloody ha! When she’s not writing she’s hiding in a cupboard with her kindle, scoffing chocolate, and stalking facebook.

COVER 


BLURB


A sunbeam to warm you, good luck to charm you. A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you…

FINLEY

Grandmother’s Irish blessing might be part of my roots, but I lost my luck along the way. I’m not even sure when it happened, but I know nothing has worked to get it back. Nothing has worked in my life for a long time and I’m sick of it.

I don’t know where the inspiration comes from, but something is telling me to go to Ireland in search of my history and the memories of my grandparents. If I find a little luck while I do it, all the better.

I should have known my brother, Duncan, was going to get involved. I can’t say I’m mad at him for sending Doyle to keep an eye on me. I probably need it. Causing an international incident isn’t exactly on my agenda.

I go to Ireland in search of my roots and something, anything, to change the tide of my life. I can’t help but wonder if I was looking for Doyle all along. I’m not sure if I’m lucky enough to keep him, but I hope I am.

DOYLE
When I get a call about an old friend’s sister traveling by herself on some quest of self-discovery, or whatever reason she has for visiting Ireland, I am hesitant to agree to keeping an eye on her. I might grumble about it, but even if I didn’t owe Duncan one, I’d do this for him. How hard could it be?

I should have asked more questions. Finley is a disaster on two legs. I’m a little worried she’ll be the death of me, us, and maybe the whole rock we live on.

The thing is, she’s also the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And she’s mine. All mine.

She’s looking for her history and some luck; I’ll help her find everything she thinks she wants. I’ll also give her everything she doesn’t realize she needs—a future with me filled with so much joy and love not even a little streak of unluckiness will touch it. I won’t let it.

**18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Finley is Duncan’s sister from Forever His Family (Higgins Security Book 4).**

IT’S TIME TO GET LUCKY!
Join ten of your favorite romance authors as we celebrate green rivers, green beer, and gold coins. Whether they meet at a parade, pub crawl, or on the Emerald Isle itself, our heroes and heroines will find themselves getting lucky this March.

Each short and steamy story promises a happily ever-after, with plenty of shamrocks and pots of gold waiting at the end of the rainbow.

♥ A dare, a lie and a vacation fling that just might lead to a forever kind of love ♥

Emmy

I might be young and idealistic, but I set goals in life. One of which–being a successful romance author–I’m already living. While at a writer’s retreat with my besties, I drink too much Champagne and let my secret slip. I may write about dirty things but have no real life experience. My friend suggests a solution and the smoking hot mountain resort groundskeeper seems like the perfect candidate to help solve my ‘V-card ‘problem.’

Griff

I have more money than I know what to do with, and giving it away makes me happy. I’m tired of people judging me by the number of zeroes in my bank account. Being burned one too many times leaves me feeling guarded and private.

I own Big Bear Lodge mountain resort, and when a sweet and way-too-young-for-me guest assumes I work here, I don’t correct her. After one heated night spent in each other’s arms, we both want more. I won’t let any other man have her, but in order to claim her, I have to come clean. She values honesty above all things and we started with a lie. Will she accept me when she finds out who I really am?

Steamy sweet instalove age gap short romance between a secret billionaire philanthropist and a sassy, curvy girl. Safe, no OM/OW drama and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
