Me.

Cassie Griffin always believed she could have it all —a successful career, a loving marriage, and someday, a family. As Cassie inches closer to achieving her dreams, the pressure becomes unbearable, until a near-miss accident shakes her to her core. Readers who enjoy journeys of self-discovery and second-chance romances will devour A Collision with Love by Tricia T. LaRochelle, an all-new standalone, contemporary romance.
Cassie Griffin has always believed she could have it all—a successful career, a loving marriage, and someday, a family. But as she inches closer to becoming senior partner at her law firm, the pressure to start a family with her husband, Daniel, begins to weigh heavily on her shoulders. Daniel is ready to dive into parenthood, while Cassie feels the clock ticking on her dreams of professional success.
When a near-miss accident shakes Cassie to her core, the cracks in her marriage deepen. Torn between her ambitions and the love of her life, Cassie is forced to confront the possibility that achieving one dream may mean losing another.
Set in the bustling heart of Richmond, Virginia, A Collision with Love is a poignant story of the delicate balance between career and family, and the difficult choices that come with pursuing your dreams. As Cassie’s world teeters on the brink, she must decide what truly matters—and whether it’s possible to have it all without losing everything.
I moved to the edge of the loveseat. “I need to get back to work.”
His long, wavy hair pulled back into ponytail, Daniel placed both hands against his head in exasperation. “No fucking way are you rushing back to work.” He glared at me, his eyes filled with outrage and fear. “Are you trying to kill yourself?”
Tears threatened to spill, my throat thick with anguish. “But Isabella—”
“I don’t give a flying fuck what Isabella told you or wants.” He grabbed my shoulders as though to jar me. “Look, I love you, but I refuse to watch you kill yourself for that place. You’ve given them seven-and-a-half years of your life. And what have they done to show their appreciation? Your office is a closet. You’re still working around the clock. And all they can do is dangle senior partner in front of your face, so you’ll keep busting your ass for them.” He tightened his jaw, his eyes glassing over as emotion battled against his anger.
I could see it. He cared so much it hurt.
I dropped my face into my hands. “I don’t know what to do. I need to finish this job for her. After that, I can come help you.” I felt like a child and about as powerless as one. “Please, Daniel. I need to make senior partner. Then everything will be good again. I can take care of us.”
He released his grip on me, his forearms rested on his thighs. “Cassie. It’s not your responsibility to take care of us. We can do that together. Why do you put this solely on your shoulders? Don’t you see? Life is passing you by. When are you going wake up? How long are you gonna wait for that promotion that may never come? They announced the partnership a year ago. It’s bullshit.” He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me close.
And that was when I lost it. Tears ran down my cheeks as though the dam had broken. And it had. I wept for this trap of an existence I had confined myself to. I wept for the constant struggle that refused to relent. And I wept for the uncertainty of what was to come.
My intentions were pure. I only wanted what was best for both of us.
My mother’s voice rang in my ears. “You are the only one of us, Cass boo, who finished college. And we never thought we’d have a lawyer for a daughter. Your father and I are so proud of you.” Her eyes, a paler shade of green than mine, grew distant. “I wish I had . . .” Pursing her lips, she stopped herself from revealing something that had obviously weighed heavily on her heart. Suddenly, she reset herself, her shoulders back and her resolve strong. “Promise me you will never compromise your principals or your ambition for anyone. You deserve to follow your dreams. All the way to the end of that rainbow.” She had pulled me into her embrace, the scent of rose petals lingering on her skin from her perfume. “Just remember. No one can make your dreams come true but you.” It was the only time she’d ever said this to me. And it was the only time she had to.
Oh, Mom. Why does everything have to be so hard?

I didn’t have time to be angry. The edge of the road grabbed my tires, and I slipped off the pavement, losing control of my steering. In an instant, it felt as if my trusted vehicle had grown a mind of its own, thrashing around like a bull just released from its pen. My heart was in a race with my mind, trying to problem solve. Everything happened so fast. Yet, each second passed in slow motion. All I could do was close my eyes and prepare myself for impact.
Daniel.
Suddenly, our fight felt small and insignificant. All the ranting I had done was for no other reason than to release pent-up anger. Yes, I wanted a family with him. It was important to me too. Admittedly, I’d even imagined what our children would look like. Our son with Daniel’s captivating eyes, our daughter with my auburn hair and logical mind. I’d envisioned it all. And as my world folded into chaos, branches slapping my car, everything whizzing by, that was all that I could think about in that very long moment.
I promised myself I would never leave Daniel angry again. How selfish I’d been. He was way too important in my life. And I’d taken him for granted. I’d taken us for granted.
Please, God, grant me the opportunity to fix this.

I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing.
To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love.
Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began.
I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out.
Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it.
But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.

Blurb
From award-winning author Diana A. Hicks comes the dangerous conclusion to the Wicked Knight duet.
Destiny Can Be So Cruel…
Maxim Belov is Papa’s favorite son.
Like his father, Maxim is ruthless and always gets what he wants.
Maxim wants me.
He doesn’t even care that our families are mortal enemies, or that I’ve never seen his face.
Because of him, I’m forced into a marriage with a stranger.
On our wedding night, when I finally come face to face with my worst enemy, my entire life is turned upside down.
Authors Note: Wicked Knight is book two in the Knight Duet, set in The Society World. It’s best enjoyed if you read book one first.
“It itches.” He grunted. “How long before I can take it off?”
“How long has it been? It usually takes about two weeks.” I squirted water on his side.
He flinched, reaching for my wrist. I froze, keeping my gaze on the stitches and the blood running down his side. And because my brain hates me, I thought of our impending wedding night. Though by now, I was sure that would not happen today. The man could barely move without wincing. As formidable as he was, and though he acted like a beast, he was still human.
His fingers slid up my arm. “This one hurts the most.”
“I bet. There was a lot of debris to clear out. I had to dig deep.” I freed my hand. “It is healing fine. I can give you something for the pain.”
“Fuck.” He made to touch his wound then stuffed his hand in the pocket of his trousers. “I don’t know if I should risk taking more drugs from you. Will you poison me this time?”
In his defense, I had considered the option. “Not tonight.”
He scoffed. “If Anatoli hadn’t come to his senses, I’d still be unconscious.”
So Anatoli was the one who foiled our plans. Coward. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I shrugged. “Maybe you too will come to your senses soon.”
I strode to the bathroom and rummaged through the medical kit Anatoli had left for me. I went through a bunch of bottles until I found a strong pain killer. Something to knock Maxim out for the night. And every night after that, until I found a way out of this place.
“For the pain.” I offered him two pills and a glass of water.
“Am I so ugly, you can’t even look at me.” He took the meds and knocked them back. “My senses are fine by the way.”
“Right. Because kidnapping a woman for revenge is the epitome of mental health.” I turned to leave.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me toward him. “You have no idea what your family is capable of.”
“You’re wrong. I know exactly what they can do.” I jerked to free myself, but he held me tighter. I was no match for his strength. I exhaled. “One day my love will find me. He will make sure you pay.”
“Your love?” He let out a dark chuckle.
“Yes.” I panted a breath. “And when he does, he will chop you up and feed you to your dogs.”
“He sounds violent.”
Luca was an erudite, a distinguished professor despite all my efforts to corrupt him. He wasn’t a brute like Maxim, punching his way through doors. But regardless of their extreme opposites, Luca would find a way to save me. I knew he would. I just had to hang on a little longer.
“He will come for me. You can be sure of that.”
“The only thing I can be sure of, princess, is that it’s time for bed. And since Prince Charming isn’t here, I guess I would have to do.”

The magic of Christmas—and a second shot at romance—is in the air in Shelter Springs this holiday season…
Amanda Taylor isn’t a fan of Christmas, but as the owner of a local soap shop, ignoring the holiday season isn’t an option. To forget the pain of Christmases past, Amanda focuses on making the season bright for her customers at the Shelter Springs Holiday Giving Market. But when her beloved grandmother, Birdie, starts dating the dashing new resident of the Shelter Inn retirement community, Amanda smells trouble. Fortunately, Rafe Arredondo, the grandson of Birdie’s charming suitor, is equally dubious of the match. Unfortunately, he’s just as fiery as his grandfather—and Amanda has zero interest in getting burned.
As a single father, paramedic and assistant fire chief, Rafe has more than enough on his plate. Sure, he and Amanda share a common goal in keeping their grandparents apart. Still, that doesn’t mean he should allow himself to feel as drawn to her as he does. Even if she is great with his young son. Even if she does help the burden of his own painful past feel a little lighter… But when their paths keep crossing at the holiday market, it starts to feel like fate, prompting them both to wonder if taking a chance on love might gift them everything they’ve been wishing for.

Lucky
I left her once to keep her safe from my world, but now I need someone I can trust to watch my son.
Running with this syndicate, I’ve learned to keep my emotions in check. Compartmentalized. But when Bria walks back into my life, everything comes flooding back—every memory, every kiss. Having her so close to the dangers of my reality is selfish, but my kid comes first.
Keeping my distance is critical. It’s also impossible.
Bria
I never expected to come face to face with Lucky again. Not like this. But he’s a single dad now, offering me a job he knows I can’t refuse. I try to keep things professional, but it doesn’t take long for old feelings to resurface.
Resisting him is essential. It’s the one thing I’ve never been able to do.
I’m having a glass of water in the kitchen when Conlan breezes through the back door, eyeing me as he tosses aside his wallet and keys. I should’ve gone straight to my room, but a part of me—the tipsy part, probably—craves confrontation. His behavior outside the bar just now was embarrassing.
“Sawyer, huh?” he says by way of greeting, brushing by as he reaches into the fridge. “Guess his patience finally paid off.” I turn around, putting my glass into the sink. The microwave opens and closes, beeping as he jabs at it. “I almost feel bad for him.”
Leaning against the counter, I give him the attention he’s so obviously seeking. “What are you talking about?”
“You must know he still wants you.” He mirrors my stance, folding his arms as we stare at each other from across the room.
“So what?”
“You’re just gonna play with his emotions like that?” His eyes widen, mocking me. “Didn’t think you were the type.”
“You’d know all about that, huh?” Picking up my purse, I push away from the counter. “Good night.”
“Good night?” An indulgent little smile tugs at his mouth. The same one he gives Liam when he’s being naughty at bedtime. “You say something like that and then, good night?”
Ignoring him, I leave the kitchen. But he follows me down the hall and up the stairs, every footstep intensifying the jitters in my stomach. I turn abruptly at my bedroom door, feeling cornered. “What, Conlan?”
“Are you going to see him again?”
I stare at him, trying to figure out this sudden interest when he’s been nothing but aloof since the day he hired me. “Are you serious?”
He steps closer, stopping only when I hold up a hand. “Answer the question.”
“Yeah, I probably will see him again. He’s sweet, and we had fun tonight.”
“Sweet, huh?” Conlan’s voice drops, dangerous and low. “That’s what you’re into these days?”
“What I’m into is none of your business,” I say evenly. “And neither is what I do in my free time.”
“I’m making it my business.”
“You’ll need to issue an addendum to my contract, then,” I grit out.
“Maybe I will.”
“You haven’t expressed one iota of concern for me since I got here, so please don’t start now.”
“You think I don’t care?”
“You barely talk to me.” Turning, I grab the doorknob. “I know you don’t care.”
“What is there to talk about?” His fingers wrap around my arm, and he tugs so I’m facing him again.
“You said we were ancient history.
Remember?” The way he smells is so familiar to me, even with the cologne he wears these days. It tugs at my heart, threatening to open old wounds I’d thought were long healed.
“Right, so why are you acting like a jealous ex?”
It’s more than I meant to say, but now that I have, I don’t regret it.
“Because it’s easy for him,” he says. “In a way it’ll never be for me.” My breath catches. Is this how he really feels, deep down beneath that ice-cold veneer? “What do you mean?”
Conlan shakes his head. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Why are you being so cryptic, Conlan? Just talk to me!” My voice cracks, and I pause to get myself under control. “We used to talk about everything.”
“Not everything.”
I go still, staring at him, willing him to tell me. I’d thought that something happened in the years between, but maybe it was already happening way back then, when we were together.
“You’re right, though. We did talk. You knew me better than anybody, except maybe Tristan.
“Sometimes I miss that.” He touches his knuckles to my cheek. “Sometimes I miss you.”
My heart leaps at his words, but it sinks just as fast. I can’t allow myself to get tangled up in this.
“You’re drunk.”
“That doesn’t change how I feel.”
Swallowing, I look up at him. “You’ll regret this tomorrow.”
His hand falls away. “Maybe.”
Reaching back, I open the door and step into my room. My cheek tingles from his touch as I close the door. A second later, his footsteps pad quietly away. I should feel vindicated. Conlan hasn’t forgotten. He still feels things. But somehow, it makes me feel even worse.
Born and raised on the sunny beaches of the US Virgin Islands, Rochelle Allison has been living in her imagination since she was a little girl. Nowadays, Rochelle lives just outside of Atlanta with her one true love and their kids. When she’s not making up stories, she can be found reading, hiking, swimming, playing Wordle or taking pictures. She can almost always be found with a book…and chocolate.
So when opportunity knocked, I took it. I grabbed my shot, willing to do anything to make it happen.
From the beginning, I knew I was destined to be with the six-foot-four, bourbon-eyed Rock God.
Only back in the early days he wasn’t a god.
Rhys Granger was my brother’s friend, the boy next door who wrote verses and played his guitar in our garage. He was talented. Exciting. Damaged. The kind of guy who made all the girls cry…
Except for me. I thought I was special. Turns out I’m not.
And now… I despise him.
He’s the lead singer of the Stuffed Muffins, one of the biggest bands in the world, with dark hair, full lips, and a body to die for.
Unfortunately, he’s a dick.
Not, that I care anymore. I have my own career. I’m successful in my own right. So, when offered another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I turn it down.
But the universe has other plans, and I’m forced back into the savagely glamorous world of rock ‘n’ roll. Thrust into battling his seductive smile, his dangerous kisses, and my own addictive needs.
He might be a Rock God, but he’s also a man. And I’m the woman he never saw coming.
