But with the death of her parents, a debt that had to be repaid, and the stroke of a pen from a corrupt judge, her happiness came to an end and her life was thrown into chaos.

Anthony Johnson, along with his cousin Theo, had purchased a plot of land in the newly founded town of Bozeman, Montana and their long-held dreams of becoming ranchers were on the verge of coming true.

While Theo would manage the property and take care of numbers, Anthony would act as foreman.

Neither were looking for love, they had more important things on their minds.

When unexpected events bring Sarah and Anthony together, emotions neither had experienced before begin to take hold.

Will Anthony win the trust of the wounded lady?

Will Sarah open her heart and experience love for the first time?Or are these two destined to go their separate ways with broken hearts?

What happens when two perfect strangers find each other in the most inconvenient of circumstances?

That’s exactly the situation for Carter, when he drives along the highway on a rainy night and comes upon a mysterious stranger, whose car has broken down by the side of the road.

With no umbrella or even a coat to protect him from the rain, Carter decides to help the man and offers him a ride. Accepting with a smile, the stranger gets inside the car and they go for a drive.

There’s an instant attraction once the two men are alone in the car, and they both quickly discover that they have something mutual in common. With the rainy conditions and both of them exhausted, they agree to pull over and spend the night in a hotel.

Dylan can’t deny his attraction toward Carter, and the two men quickly realize that all they want is each other. Making the most of their temporary situation, the two give in to their desires and have a night of passion.

And then in the morning … Dylan was gone, leaving nothing but a note.

From Australian Romance Author Emily Foxx comes her new standalone, a friends-to-lovers romance with a compassionate heroine and a damaged but lovable hero.

Doctor Bradley Stephens

Evelyn is a childhood friend. When I moved away from Bluebeach Bay, she would write letters to me, to remind me I was brave.

Never did I think she would make another impression on me when I moved back to my childhood home to start a doctor’s practice.

She reaches a part of me I have closed off to women.

My heart.

Dark memories from my past make sure of that.

Evelyn Cassano

When Bradley meets me for coffee, we reconnect. It’s like old times.

When I finally let him know how I feel, I realize he feels the same way.

However, the more time I spend with him, I learn his past is in his present.

It causes trouble because he won’t open up to me when I am the only person who truly understands him.

An emotionally driven and passionate, friends-to-lovers story, with a twist of drama and suspense.

Mature audiences only.

Some dark themes.

What do you get when a sweet-as-puck hockey playing wolf shifter with a secret is reunited with his sister’s best friend that he’s loved since childhood who has a secret of her own? The swoons.

Declan

All my life, I’ve done what is expected of me and been the perfect son and brother. But I’m tired of living by the rules others have for me and am ready to go after my own dreams. First step is being the best left winger I can be on the Atlantic City Devil Birds hockey team and earning enough money to buy my dream farm. Second step is declaring my feelings and convincing my younger sister’s best friend to give me a chance to prove I’m someone she can love. She’s off working in New Zealand, so I have time to work on the first step before having to be brave enough to take the second. Until…

Miranda

I’m tired of being alone and not feeling like I belong anywhere. My parents are dedicated to their careers, and I rarely stay anywhere long enough to form genuine connections. I want to put down roots, be near the few friends I’ve made over the years, and be part of a community. I’ve had a hopeless crush on my childhood best friend’s older brother, Declan, for years, but he’s only ever seen me as a friend. It’s time to consider looking for someone who will love me in return. When a sudden chance to work for a professional hockey team in New Jersey comes up, I jump at it without a second thought. Little did I know Declan was one of the stars until I walked into the rink. How will I be able to find someone when the only man I’ve ever wanted is front and center and focused solely on me?

Fate has a way of bringing people together. Secrets have a way of tearing them apart. Which will prevail?

Secret Pucking Unicorn is a shifter hockey romance full of humor, heart, and heat. If you want to laugh, sigh, and swoon, not necessarily in that order, with funny, sexy shifters, this is the book for you!

Family should come before anything else, but my loyalty will always be to the woman I love and lost. Now Celine is back and set to destroy me. She thinks we’re done. We will never be done.

There are many sides to every story and Lucinda’s tale is no exception.

Lucinda’s affair damaged Adam Fairfax and it took him years to recover. Most painted her as the villain, but did anyone think to ask her why their marriage collapsed? Why did she cheat on him?

I dare you to turn back the clock and delve into a warped web of high society schemes and veiled threats. This is a world where people poison everything they touch and make a blood sport of betrayal. With all the lies and deception swirling around her like a murky swamp, it is no wonder Lucinda bought into it, letting it taint her soul and relationships. Yet none of them pose a greater risk than the shadows of her past.

Note: This is a love story, but it is not a romance novel.

This is a prequel to Crystal’s Crucible (The Phoebe Braddock Books #3) and will feature some Book 2 characters. While you can read The Phoebe Braddock Books in any order, I suggest reading From Prying Eyes prior to this one to avoid spoilers.

Content Warnings: This book contains content that may upset or offend some readers. Please see Goodreads listing for full details.
