What’s Inside


Hard Time

She believes he’s still a good man. He isn’t sure she’s right.

Ex-Con. Single Mom. Touch Her and Die.

Prison taught Street to destroy weakness.

Katie is the one weakness he never forgot.

When he finds her again, she’s built a fragile, beautiful life with her daughter—and she still believes there’s something worth saving inside him.

Street isn’t sure that man exists.

But when danger comes for them, he knows exactly who he is.

The man who will protect what’s his.

No matter the cost.


Hard Case

She is innocence. He is the danger.

Morally Gray Lawyer. Innocent Client. Forbidden Desire.

Slate built his empire on control.

Rose makes him want everything he’s sworn to deny.

She shines in a world he manipulates for a living.

Wanting her threatens to expose the darkness beneath his wealth and reputation.

When she becomes a target, walking away would keep her safe.

But Slate has never been good at surrender.

And he’s done pretending he doesn’t want her.


Hard Core

Saving her changed him. Losing her would destroy him.

Damaged Veteran. Too-Good Heroine. Redemption.

Axel lives with blood on his hands and ghosts at his
back.

Alyssa is the one woman who makes him crave peace.

Rescuing her should have been the end.

Instead, she becomes the reason he can’t return to the man he was—or the monster he fears he might be.

Loving her means choosing hope.

Losing her means losing the last piece of his soul.

This time, he’s fighting for both.
