Kimberly – Of her tight circle of friends, who are her sisters from other misters and call themselves the Aphrodites, she has always been considered the edgiest and loosest of cannons punishing men who would hurt her sisters or herself. But when she discovers that her lover, who was supposed to be getting a divorce, isn’t, she breaks it off and walks away. Too bad he is her boss, and his wife has assessed 100% of the blame onto Kimberly. When she subsequently loses her job and struggles to find her new normal with a cat named Mr. Dan, it makes her realize that maybe it is time to admit that she isn’t the poor little girl raised by a single mother anymore. Perhaps it is time to see herself how her friends see her for the amazing woman she is.

By chance and fitting his loner personality, he’s a private detective finding lost pets and cheating spouses. Then, one woman hires him to find out who her husband has been having an affair with. Surprisingly, it is a woman he knows, one of those crazy Aphrodites named Kimberly. Before long, he cracks Kimberly’s hard shell to see the kind woman she had been trying to hide. She occupies his thoughts, and possibly life wants to give him another chance with this beautiful woman and her colorful past.

From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight, comes the conclusion to the story that left you speechless and begging for more.

“Stacey isn’t coming.”

Those three words leave Blake with a broken heart and a non-refundable trip to Mexico.

Wanting to drown his sorrows in alcohol and women, he turns his would-be honeymoon into the ultimate bachelor trip. Much to his surprise, he runs into an old friend on his first night there.

Sarah is celebrating her divorce and, like Blake, looking for a good time in Cabo to forget the past. The pair quickly reconnect, becoming closer than they had been that summer years ago.

When their trip is over, and it’s time to leave the sunny sands of paradise, they go their separate ways, unhappy their time together has ended so soon. Sarah returns home to Vegas to work on her dreams of opening a veterinary clinic, and Blake returns to his nightmare.

Blake soon discovers the reason Stacey left him at the altar, and her secret turns his world upside down. The betrayal is too much for him to handle on his own, so he turns to Sarah for help. When she suggests he comes to Vegas to escape his troubles, they expect to have hot sex with no strings attached, but unforeseen feelings leave them confused … and wanting more.

But Blake can’t hide from his problems forever, and eventually, he’ll need to make a choice.

Will he end up with the one who has held his heart for years but left it shattered into a million pieces or the one who helped put it back together?

There’s only one way to find out.

Antonio Moro lost everything to the Leviathan League. Now he's alone in a city on an Arctic island fighting the ruthless, global pirates with the chance to be the artist he always wanted to be. Unfortunately, he thinks it’s a cover story for his real purpose—spying on sympathizers.

When things look bleak, he discovers an unusual ally. His new personal assistant program, Par Augustus. It’s insolent, extroverted, moody, and a not-quite-legal nascent A. I.

Together they create a secret rebellion from unlikely recruits to defend the island from ideological pirates with entitlement and guns, and capitalist pirates with entitlement and money.

Stephen feels he is marked from day one to lose the ones he loves. His mother dies giving birth to him, and his alcoholic father makes sure Stephen never forgets it. To block out his father’s hate, fists, and belt, young Stephen loses himself in his imagination. Stories become his closest companions and barricades against a family that never wanted him. Once he can look his father in the eye, Stephen swears he will never be the monster his old man is. He vows he will become a published author, if for no other reason than to prove his father wrong.

While his dreams of being a bestselling novelist and falling in love come true, Stephen has much to prove to himself before he can write his own happy ending. Set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Cleveland, Stephen fights the same alcoholic demons that plagued his father as he tries to begin a life free from his family. He meets equally headstrong Julie and is smitten, but their marriage is as fractured as his career is solid. He can find ten ways to write about being in love, but he has a hard time translating love on the page to love in real life. Julie slips between his fingers like sand, and Stephen sees his father staring back when he looks in the mirror.

Try as he might to rewrite his life, even going so far as to change his name, he has to wonder if he is the author or the killer of love.
