My mother’s death shattered my family and I was left to raise my brothers. Now I run an empire and nothing will stand in my way as I expand Stag Law. And then Alice Peterson came along. The new corporate chef is supposed to give my company an edge, but Alice Peterson is anything but corporate. Wild and spicy as her food, Alice sweeps into Stag Law and drives me to distraction. I don’t like distraction. I summon all my drive and determination to resist my attraction to her, but what if I allow myself one tiny taste?

Binge three stand-alone books in the collection—Fragile Illusion, A Stag Family Christmas, and Beautiful Game.

Meet the Brady family. They're brilliant, brooding and barreling into relationships they weren't expecting. If you love messy family dynamics, unforgettable characters, and sizzling chemistry, you'll devour these three sexy, hilarious full-length novels, all in one convenient package.

When Liam Brady's family business hires a creative writer for a marketing project, he is not prepared to spend time with a woman who asks people uncomfortable questions. Maddie Parker is barely holding it together. Laid off from her newspaper job, she’s desperate to finance her health insurance. When her friend Nicole lands her a job writing about a group of grouchy engineers, Maddie signs on the dotted line. While Liam shows her the ropes, Maddie pushes all his buttons. Actually, she starts to fantasize about unbuttoning Liam’s top button.

He hates me for some reason. I will not rest until I change his mind. People always like me. It's kind of my thing. All the employees at my tech startup think I'm the best boss, and the community partners and investors I woo not only trust, but adore me. Everyone likes me, except him. I may have been caught off guard when I accidentally insulted AJ Trachtenberg, but I'm pulling out all the stops trying to make it up to him…and it’s not working. Offering his students a swanky field trip doesn't win him over—it only seems to make him grumpier.

I moved home looking to rebuild my hockey career and my brother’s connections laced up my transfer to the Pittsburgh Fury. How do I decide to celebrate? I hit the club and pick up the first hot woman I can find. She wanted a night of wild passion—no names, just heat. So I roll into my agent meeting on Monday to sign papers with the new lawyers and there she is. Working at my brother’s firm. She says she’ll get disbarred if we don’t keep things professional. But Juniper is my dream woman. Smart, athletic, fierce…I’d spend eternity in the sin bin for her. We just can’t get caught.

The weather outside is frightful this Christmas, and the heat is on for the Stag Brothers. Caramel sauce isn’t the only sticky mess for these broody brothers, who each face challenges in love and life.

Emma Cheswick would do anything to get ahead in her newspaper job…except maybe spend time alone with notorious womanizer Thatcher Stag. When Thatcher makes a pass, she tries to turn down the assignment, but her boss gives her an ultimatum: interview Thatcher, or find someplace else to work. They strike a dangerous deal: Emma plays the part and Thatcher gives her the scoop she needs to keep her job. The illusion seems shatter-proof until Thatcher shows Emma the cracks in his inked-up armor, and she reveals a secret about her health. Can she stick to the rules or does he have a new plan in mind?

Waking up hungover in the sheep pen is the least of my problems. The worst? A foreclosure notice for my family farm. Scratch that. The actual worst is the woman delivering the news: my ex, who broke my heart and left me behind for the big city. I’ve spent a decade trying to forget Lia Thorne, and now she’s the only one who can help my family dig ourselves out from our crushing debt and even stronger egos.

Hunter Crawford has fallen from grace. The brilliant scientist knows everything...except how to relate to other people. When his career comes crashing down, Hunter loses his stoic calm and flees to his hometown to wait out the media frenzy. Abigail Baker stalled before she ever began. Floundering in her father’s construction business, struggling with a boyfriend who terrifies her, Abigail takes off.

These alpha athletes always score. Three stand-alone sports romances set at Stone Creek University that will melt your heart and curl your toes: Deep in the Pocket; Hard Edge; and Possession. Which hero will be your VIP?

Zack Brady doesn’t do relationships. He does calculations. When his family engineering firm sends him to investigate a sinkhole at a client’s house, Zack feels a tremor in the foundation of his carefully calculated world. Her name is Nicole Kennedy. She’s loud and crass, and has no time for nonsense. She certainly doesn’t have time for a mysterious trench swallowing her yard. To make matters worse, the grouchy engineer who shows up to fix it is the same jerk she’s forced to run beside during the corporate relay race her boss insisted she run.

Hawk Moyer has it all: fame, fortune…the only thing missing from the pro athlete’s life is family. Half his identity is a mystery, and after a transfer to Pittsburgh’s soccer team, he’s determined to solve the secret of his origins. He just needs to stay focused on his game in the mean time. The only problem? He met a woman who’s not that into him…and he can’t get her out of his head.

My life revolves around just one thing: my daughter. I don’t have the time or energy for anything else—not my foolish dream of an acting career and definitely not the annoying woman who opened a gym in the warehouse behind my garage. Piper’s a menace to society, between her loud music, hurling weights around like a shot putter, and her building that is definitely not up to code. Unfortunately, my kid thinks she’s the best thing since unlimited screen-time. It’s getting harder to avoid Piper when my daughter keeps going over there to ask about hair braids and sports teams.

On paper, I've got it all...an amazing group of friends, a rabid fan base for my romance novels, and a sweetheart of a husband. Except, these days, his heart doesn’t seem so sweet. He also doesn’t seem to understand my career…or maybe me at all. Teddy didn’t start out as a stuffy suit. It just sort of happened, somewhere between his MBA and his big promotion and our failed attempts at starting a family. From the time we met on the soccer field, Teddy and I have been inseparable. Only Teddy hasn’t kicked a goal in a long time and he doesn't really not unhappy.

Liam Brady has no chill. He’s a guy who irons his underwear and checks people’s math for a living. When his family business hires a creative writer for a marketing project, he is not prepared to spend time with a woman who keeps candy in her pockets and asks uncomfortable questions. Laid off from her long-term newspaper job, Maddie Parker’s desperate for health insurance. Insulin’s expensive, and when Maddie’s friend Nicole lands her a job writing about a group of grouchy engineers, Maddie signs on the dotted line. As Liam shows her the ropes, Maddie pushes all his buttons.

Neal Sweeney is the campus golden boy. He works hard and lives hard, but when his grades threaten his ability to play forward for SCU, the math department sets him up with a tutor. Studious, serious, and totally off limits, Dahlia Wardzinski steps into the study lounge and Neal is ready to learn whatever she's teaching. The only problem? Dahlia is a woman who follows the rules. She can't risk her work-study funding to cross a line with Neal.

He can buy anything he wants...except her trust. Diana Crawford has been burned by men before. She pours everything she has into her business and vows never to open her heart again. Asa Wexler, billionaire venture capitalist, rolls into Oak Creek on business. He takes a shovel full of snow to the face from a beautiful botanist and can’t look away, even when she refuses his financial help. Can Diana overcome her past and learn to love again? Will Asa succeed in his quest to win her heart?

I can't tear my eyes away from her. She's incredible, the best soccer midfielder I've ever seen. Raw passion on the field. A hundred percent my type, but a thousand percent a distraction I can't afford right now. I've dated other athletes before. We're all too focused on our game for anything meaningful off the field. And usually, I prefer it that way. But she's all muscle and grit, with fierce eyes that let me know she'd wreck my body. And I'd love every second.

I doubted her once before and rejected her. Now, I'll do anything to make things right and protect what’s ours. Exposing the truth means risking my career. But how can I chase my dreams knowing hers are slipping away? With both our futures on the line, I’m ready to risk it all and expose the truth. Losing her once was devastating enough. I won't let her down a second time. What we share is electric, and protecting her feels worth any sacrifice. This time, I'll fight for her trust…and hopefully her heart.
