CRASH
The man is infuriating. Self-absorbed, rich, arrogant, condescending, rude, and—fine—hot as Hades.
He is, measurably, the worst.
Of course we get stuck on a plane together. And, of course, the plane goes down.
Now we’re traveling together, and what was supposed to be a three-hour flight turns into the longest week of my life. It’s a disaster.
We argue constantly.
I want to push him into traffic.
But I can’t stop staring at those big surgeon's hands and perfect lips.

LEMON & THE
TROUBLEMAKER
A medium-burn passionate love affair between two brilliant artists comes alive on page in this vibrant, atmospheric story you won't be able to put down!
Lemon
Two years into what feels like the world’s longest internship, I’m worried I won’t make it to the end. Between my two nightmare bosses—a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen and a terror in high heels—and my eccentric personality with OCD tendencies, life hasn’t been easy.
When I meet an arrogant, hot-as-sin asshole in an alleyway after a gallery show, only to find out he’s world-renowned bad-boy artist Mason Cain, no one is more surprised than me when I fall for him. My carefully constructed world gets rattled when he bulldozes his way into my life, and I’m not sure I’m strong enough to handle the fall-out.
Mason
After being stuck in a years-long creative block, aimlessly wandering around the world, my brother convinces me to visit him in Boston, and since I’m not doing anything worthwhile, I go. It’s the last place I expected to find inspiration. Lemon is sexy, adorable, strange, and has more talent in her pinky than she knows what to do with. Somehow, she’s become my muse. With my upcoming show at her gallery, I’ll do whatever I can to help Lemon make it to the end of the year with her internship intact. But even my influence may not be enough to help her come out unscathed.

RAZE & THE
HEART THIEF
Birdie D'Avo's best-selling contemporary romance, Raze and The Heart Thief, is a heart-warming, smutty, fun friends-to-lovers story that you won't want to put down!
​
Emma Baker is quiet, awkward, and painfully shy. But she’s okay with her careful life, even though, on the inside, she yearns to be courageous. That small percentage of time when she’s actually pretty kinky, sexy, and adventurous? That’s a secret.
​
Emma is content hiding her true self. With recurring sexual fantasies starring Raze—the smoldering, way out-of-her-league MMA fighter she covertly stares at whenever he comes into her coffee shop—her blog where she reviews romance and erotica fiction, under the pen name The Heart Thief, and a drawer full of sex toys and no social life, Emma has everything she needs.
Until one day, Raze convinces Emma to give him a chance. At first, she thinks it’s a joke, not understanding why he could possibly want her. But Emma doesn’t realize that Raze is already half in love with her.
Emma must decide if she can push past her boundaries, be brave, and let Raze in on her secrets and deepest fantasies. But Raze is keeping secrets of his own, and when they fall fast and hard for each other, he needs to decide if he’s ready to be honest with her or if the truth will break what they’ve built.
Love, insane sexual chemistry, and a history between the two bring them together. Secrets, fame, fans, and scandal may break them apart.

SCARS TOO
BEAUTIFUL
Scars Too Beautiful is an emotional, passionate, volatile story of love, heartbreak, and pain.
After getting shot in an armed robbery that left her face badly scarred, Ariel lives her life in a shell; surrounding herself with video games, horror movies, and delivery takeout, she’ll do anything to keep herself from having to interact with the public.
​
But Ariel couldn’t let that numb, hollow feeling inside her grow any deeper, so she sought the teenager who nearly killed her, searching for answers. What she found in the young Max, now behind bars, was more than she was looking for—healing and an unlikely friendship. A year later, Max and Ariel keep their unconventional friendship to themselves, knowing their families won’t understand.
When Max’s concern for his older brother sets Ariel in Milo’s path, Ariel’s carefully constructed, quiet life changes rapidly.
​
Ariel teaches Milo how to let go of the past and forgive, something he’s been unable to do since his brother nearly killed her over $120 in a cash register. Milo helps Ariel learn how to embrace life, experience new things, and be brave despite her fears of being out in public.
​
As hot as their love burns, when tragedy strikes, neither Ariel nor Milo is prepared to deal with the aftermath, and everything threatens to fall apart.
​
This is a love story that burns hot, full of love, sex, tragedy, and triumph.

A LITTLE BIT
PSYCHO
Sadie
My brother used to call me Psycho Sadie because I always had a bad temper. But he loved me anyway, and I followed him around like any good kid sister would.
Until one day, I was ripped away from him and everything I loved and forced into a gilded cage—one with real bars on the windows and monsters within the walls.
My childhood was no fairy tale, but as I got older, years of simmering temper boiled over into rage. With no visible way out, I did the unthinkable to free myself. Nothing could stop me from getting back to my family.
After what I did, I never thought I deserved to find love. So when I finally started to rebuild my life, the last thing I expected was Elias—the man parted the clouds and took my breath away. Unfortunately, ghosts from my past threaten to derail my fresh start, and I’m forced to fight again for my freedom.
Elias
Day in and day out, I push through the monotony. As an ex-con, I don’t have many options, but it doesn’t really matter. I have a job, peace and quiet when I need it. I don’t need much else.
But then, Sadie shows up in town and changes everything. I don’t deserve her. I’m too old for her, too rough around the edges. She has trauma and secrets a mile wide. But none of that matters. Together, we’re fire, and I’d burn the world down to keep her safe.
When outside forces threaten her life, I’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe, even if that means protecting her from herself.

Sadie
Just when I think I've got a handle on this thing called living a normal life, my past sins catch up with me. New family, old threats, and pretending to be stable all strain my imperfectly crafted control, like a house of cards, ready to fall apart and explode in a fit of rage at any moment.
I can only pray my relationship with Elias doesn't become collateral damage.
Elias
I love Sadie more than my next breath, but her explosive temper is never sated. Because she ignores her dark past, her anger sneaks up on us. We try to overcome and build a strong future together, but relying on sex to fix all our problems only causes more strain. But I'll do anything to help her, even sacrifice our relationship, if it means she'll be okay.
