My relationship with my favorite author, Mariah Marie, started with a message telling her I love her books. She actually messaged me back and made my entire day. We talked every day from then on, and our relationship blossomed into this explosion of passionate fire. I've always been willing to do anything for love. Even if it means leaving everything I know behind. We couldn't be happier. Everything changes the day Mariah comes home terrified. She's shaken to her core. I've never seen my girl so terrified. I feel like I'm out of my depth, and I'm forced to get help. Problem is, I don't know anyone except our sexy, tattooed neighbor, Lieutenant Matt Chance, an incredibly hot cop who Mariah and I are head over heels in love with. Matt could possibly be the biggest mistake, or the best decision I've ever made. He confesses his feelings and makes a vow to protect us both, no matter the cost.

Moving across the country may have been the worst thing I have ever done in my entire life. Maybe it was a cop out and all I was doing was running away from my problems. What I was not doing was looking to ever fall in love again. And then Matt came along and wouldn't leave me alone. It was my own fault. I turned to him in the midst of one of the worst panic attacks I had ever had in my life, and he refused to let me go. My past came back to haunt me when my father decided that fifteen hundred miles of distance was still too close. He was one of the reasons I left, but it wasn't enough. Now, I have to wonder if Matt will really stick by me, or if he'll be the reason I fall into a darkness I can never come back from. ~ This book is a steamy cop romance with heavy and detailed mental health themes and may not be suitable for all readers. ~

Given my ladies' man reputation, most people wouldn't think of me as romantic. I'm tough. I can be gruff. A hard ass. I know being a Captain with the Gainesville Police Department has probably gotten me more than a few dates. Truthfully, all I've ever wanted is to settle down. I've just never found the right woman to do it with. Until Mariah Marie comes into my life. She's enchanting. Beautiful. Sweet. Intelligent. Fierce. She has a wicked sense of humor, and a tantalizing way with words. Her popularity as a romance author has grown exponentially in a very short period of time. Wherever she graces with her presence, a call for service is sure to follow. Calls I usually assign myself to. I don't trust anyone else to keep the girl I'm falling in love with safe. When the innocent adoration of one of her fans becomes sinister, I'll do whatever it takes to protect my girl. Suddenly, we're both thrust into a dangerous world that threatens to destroy us. A world I don't know either of us will make it out of alive. ~ This book is steamy cop romance with heavily detailed mental health themes and life-threatening moments that may not be suitable for all readers. ~

Sometimes, I want to run away to a place no one knows me. Where no one will judge me. Somewhere I'll be left alone. Maybe then I could live my life the way I want to.

Something to give Alexander's Publishing House, the largest publishers in the world, another bestseller to tuck under their belt. But when my best friend is murdered in cold blood, writing is the last thing on my mind. The only thing keeping me standing is the woman investigating my friend's murder. Officer Lyric Sharpe. She's stunning. I can't stop thinking about her. Before I know it, I become the sole focus of my friend's murderer's attention. And never in a million years would I have guessed who it is. I have to rely on Lyric and her unmatched instincts and skills in order for me to survive and show her that her love is the greatest gift of all. ~ This book is a FF cop romance with mental health themes and may not be suitable for all readers. ~

I'm a Lieutenant with Gainesville Police Department and a Commander with our SWAT team. My job is my life, and I like it that way. No chance my heart can get broken.
