A spicy brother’s best friend, hockey romance where one burning attraction may be the thing that shatters his icy control…
Jake Reid has spent years earning every shift, goal, and ounce of respect in the Boston Bobcats’ locker room. Then his father buys the team and suddenly he’s no longer the hardworking player who helped his team win Stanley Cups, but the new owner’s son who hasn’t earned his place. The spotlight is brutal, the pressure to prove he belongs is relentless, and Jake’s carefully controlled world is starting to crack.
Sophie Davies has spent years waiting for the right time, the right guy, and the right moment to stop watching her life happen from the sidelines.

Starting over pushes Sophie to do the one bold thing she’s never dared to do… ask Jake for exactly what she wants: a secret fling with no strings and no feelings.
Except living together makes it impossible to keep things simple. What’s supposed to be casual starts to feel a lot like falling. As the season intensifies and Jake fights to prove he belongs, the one thing he can’t control is how much he needs Sophie. But will the girl who’s never asked for anything fight for forever with the guy who was never supposed to be hers?
In a world where control is everything, sometimes the only way to win is to stop playing it safe.
Icy Control is a spicy hockey romance with heart, heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA. This is the third book in the Boston Bobcats series and can be read as a standalone, although reading in order is recommended for the best experience!

Love is patient. Love is kind.
Love leaves no witnesses behind...
I’m a killer who hunts killers. And despite my therapist calling it an “antisocial personality disorder”—I mean, God forbid a girl have hobbies—I have a pretty good thing going.
Until he steps on my turf.
Damiano Barone is a control freak with a stick so far up his rectum it’s practically load-bearing. A cold, criminally gorgeous rule-master with a body built for war and a gift for making me even stabbier than usual.
Honestly, that’s almost impressive.
But when we—allegedly—kill the heir to a vicious mafia king and both our families end up in the crosshairs, there’s only one way to ensure neither side stands alone: Marriage.
To Damiano.
Because apparently nothing fixes a disaster like shackling two blood-soaked homicidal enemies together and hoping for the best.
Our vows are supposed to mean mutual protection. Instead, there’s a decent chance one of us ends up dismembered or dissolved in acid before anyone gets around to asking about honeymoon plans.
Damiano thinks a ring on my finger means he can control me. That I’ll behave. Follow his rules. Be his dutiful, obedient little wife.
How cute.
He has rules.
I have knives.
Because you know what they say: something borrowed, something blue. Someone buried if he tells me what to do.
And all’s fair in love and gore.The Carnage We Keep is a fully standalone dark mafia romance. No previous books in the Jagger Cole Universe need to be read before diving into this book or series. Readers are HIGHLY advised to read the TW inside.

Four steamy and dark mafia romances in one book!
Meet the Sinners of New Orleans...Alliance
On the worst night of my life, I met the hottest man I’ve ever seen.
Tall, dark, covered in tattoos, and asking if I’m okay.
Three years later, I see him again and he’s asking the same question.
Are you okay?
But I’m not okay.
Not when I’m trapped in an arranged marriage to a cruel man my power-hungry mafia family chose—one who leaves bruises and demands to be obeyed.
I don’t mean for my night with Naz to be anything more than a one night stand. An opportunity for me to lose my virginity to someone I choose rather than someone who’s forced on me.
A choice that was finally mine.
But when my fiance catches us red handed I’m forced to choose between being the good famiglia daughter even if it kills me or finding my own happiness with the man of my dreams.
Deception
After my best friend goes missing and the police refuse to take her disappearance seriously, I do what any reasonable woman wouldn't: I go looking myself. My investigation begins at her last known location, Sinners and Saints, a seedy strip club owned by the New Orleans mafia.
Armed with a fake name, lingerie, and sky-high heels, I infiltrate the club, determined to find out what happened to her.
Except, the mafia doesn't give up their secrets so easily, and before I have a chance to find the truth, I catch the attention of someone who can tell I'm lying.
John Vitale is known as a psychopath. Even the scariest men at this club are well aware he has no qualms when it comes to killing.
With his sights set on me, he begins to buy all my time at the club to keep me off the floor and away from anyone who might give me a lead. I know being under his scrutiny is a death sentence, and if I don't push him away, I'll never find the truth. But I can't help but enjoy the way he touches me, protects me, owns me.
He knows I'm hiding something, though, and he won't stop until he finds out what.
But if I tell him the truth, will he destroy me, or become the man I can't live without?
Obsession
I’ve always been the black sheep of my family.
A pawn to be used. A bargaining chip to further their ambitions.
Now they’ve sold me off in an arranged marriage to a man on my brother’s payroll.
Adrian Russo.
Cold. calculating. dangerous.
At first, I thought he was just another player in my family’s cruel game.
Another captor determined to control my fate.
But then his touch sparks something I can’t explain.
His punishments become an addiction I crave.
Because beneath his icy exterior is a man who makes me question everything.
Including whether he’s the villain of my story…or the only one capable of saving me.
Birthright
Fresh out of prison, I’ve got one thing on my mind: revenge.
After my uncle killed my father and framed me for his murder, I’ve spent the last eight months plotting how I’ll repay him.
Everything goes according to plan, until I look up from the smoking gun to realize I’m not alone.
A girl: blue eyes, dark hair, and a mouth made for sin is looking at me. I should’ve silenced her and tied up loose ends.
But my father taught me one rule: we don’t kill women.
So I did the next best thing.
I made her mine.

Unfortunately, that makes us a penalty neither of us can afford to take. Not when one touch could destroy everything.
It's his first shot at being a head coach, and he's working on repairing things with his son. I'm still a resident trying to prove myself, and the last thing I want is something messy getting in my way or anything to do with my ex.
But that doesn't stop the fire in his eyes or the way he tracks me around the field when he doesn't think I notice. Or how our stolen moments leave me breathless and full of butterflies.
We both know it's wrong. Forbidden.
And for a while, we play by the rules.
Until one night the mounting tension between us becomes too much to bear and his control shatters.

SYLVIE
I've been a ghost since I was sixteen. Attachments are a luxury I can't afford. Sympathy is a weakness I've been trained to ignore.
My assignment should be simple. Infiltrate Jeffrey Callen's life, drain him of his secrets, then make him disappear. I'm used to cashing paychecks written in evil men's blood. But no one prepared me for the way Callen would slip past my defences, planting something dangerous and alive inside my heart that no blade can reach. Hope. Everything I've been told about my target is a lie. He's no villain. The only thing he's guilty of is his own humanity.
Sensing my hesitation, my employers have made it finish the mission, or I'm the one who vanishes.
The choice becomes abundantly clear. It's my survival... or his.
CALLEN
I was a soldier who believed in the mission. In honour. In the system I swore to protect. Turns out, the system is corrupt.
After saving the innocent lives I was ordered to take, I became a loose end. Fifteen years later, my comrades are mysteriously dropping one by one, and all signs say I'm next. Not even PALADIN can protect me now.
At least there's Sylvie. Sharp tongue, dangerous curves, and eyes that look right through me... like she's searching for something she'll never admit she wants. I know she has secrets. Lethal ones. Her story doesn't add up. But when I see the torment in her eyes, I don't care that she's hiding something. I'd lay my life on the line for her.
