Life is never black and white.
One minute you're a struggling graphic designer in LA that's finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next you're flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend's older brother.
At least...that's what everyone thinks. Forced to clean up his playboy image in order to protect his company, Beckham Sinclair, the city's most eligible billionaire bachelor, wants me to be his fake fiancée and personal assistant.
Now I'm spending every spare second with a man I thought I'd never see again.
My freshly mended heart has barely recovered from the first time a Sinclair broke it. But with each passing day, Beck's dirty mouth and lingering stares make me question his motives-and mine.
As the line blurs between real and pretend, only one thing is certain: there are secrets hiding in this city full of black ties and white lies.
Black Ties and White Lies is a billionaire, fake relationship, forced proximity, and ex's older brother novel and a complete standalone by Kat Singleton.
Summer nights can be full of surprises.
As a single, unemployed, and unapologetic twenty-five year old mess, I came to the Hamptons this summer for one reason-to focus on myself and work out my quarter-life crisis. I didn't come here planning to sneak into a private party and meet a handsome stranger.
I definitely didn't come here expecting for that stranger to be Preston Rhodes-billionaire and superstar quarterback for the Manhattan Mambas.
And that's not even the crazy part.
He asked me to be his pretend girlfriend for a week while his family is in town. He needed a date for his sister's wedding, and I'd never turn down the opportunity to be spoiled by a rich man.
The only thing is, Preston's not very good at pretending.
Now instead of discovering myself, I'm spending the week discovering what life would be like with him. Instead of focusing on me, I'm focusing on how he looks at me, how he touches me, how he wants me.
But now that neither one of us is faking it, I only hope that we can hold on to what we have through the bright lights and summer nights.
From the author that brought you Black Ties and White Lies and Pretty Rings and Broken Things, comes an all-new stand-alone in the Black Tie Billionaires Series. Bright Lights and Summer Nights is a billionaire, fake dating, sports romance. It is Emma's book and a complete stand-alone. It is the third and final book in the series.
Pretty rings can't always fix broken things.
Unfortunately, that doesn't stop powerful men from trying. Which is why instead of getting the wedding I'd always dreamed of, I was forced to marry the heir to our rival company and join a family that we've hated for generations.
An arranged marriage to make our problem disappear.
Then again, I'm the one that snuck around behind my father's back and ended up at the center of a scandal that could ruin my family's reputation.
Now the only person who can protect me is the cold and calculated billionaire, Archer Moore.
The marriage was only supposed to be for show, but Archer can be very convincing. He's demanded we move in together. That we kiss. That we make it look-and feel-real. He's a man who is obsessed with getting what he wants-and I'm starting to think what he wants is me.
But the closer we get, and the less we pretend, the more I question if the grudges between our families are too much to overcome for a marriage that was built on pretty rings and broken things.
Pretty Rings and Broken Things is a billionaire, arranged marriage romance releasing early 2024. It is Winnie's book and a complete standalone.
Cade Jennings was always there for me when I needed him-until he wasn't.
I'd spent my entire life loving my best friend's older brother. Every single one of my birthday wishes was spent hoping Cade would finally notice me.
And then one day, he did.
But not all love stories have happy endings.
It's been years since I left the small town of Sutten Mountain devastated and heartbroken. I'd used the pain to fuel a bestselling novel that solidified I'd never have to return.
Until tragedy struck, forcing me to face the man who shattered my heart.
I thought I'd be strong enough to see him again. I didn't expect the angry, broken man staring back at me.
But the more time we spend around each other, the more I see glimpses of the man I fell in love with. His touch still owns me. His kiss still brands me. And even after all this time, the feelings I have for him still consume me.
Cade and I are unfinished business, and this time, he's not letting me leave until we rewrite our story.
From the author of Black Ties and White Lies comes an all new series of complete standalones set in Sutten Mountain. Rewrite Our Story, the first book in the series, is a steamy, second chance, best friend's brother romance.
Camden Hunter doesn't belong here.
I've spent my entire life in the small town of Sutten Mountain where everyone knows everyone and you can spot trouble from a mile away.
Camden is trouble.
He's an arrogant, self-absorbed billionaire from the city with too much money and not enough manners.
And he just opened a fancy art gallery next door to my bakery.
So when he comes to me desperately needing a favor, I can't help but to propose a deal: I'll cater his grand opening and in return he has to spend a day with me as a local-to experience the beauty and talent this town has to offer.
I expected him to see a different side of Sutten. What I didn't expect was to see a different side of him.
Now instead of wanting him to leave, I find myself hoping he'll stay. The more I see him fall for the town, the more I start to wonder if he could ever fall for me.
There's just one problem. Camden Hunter doesn't belong in my world, and I don't belong in his.
He's a flame and I'm gasoline, and the more we play with fire, the more I find myself questioning how long we can continue to tempt our fate.
Tempt Our Fate is a steamy small town, enemies to lovers, billionaire, age gap romance. It is the second book set in the fictional town of Sutten Mountain. It is a complete standalone.
Dean Livingston needs a new live-in nanny, and I need a safe place to stay.
I'd been running from my past when I stumbled into the small town of Sutten Mountain, tired and alone.
That's where I met a broken single dad and his adorable daughter.
Dean has more money than he could ever spend but couldn't keep a nanny. After firing every eligible candidate in town, he was desperate for help.
So when his daughter fell in love with me after one brief meeting, I instantly became perfect for the job.
The arrangement was always meant to be temporary, but seeing Dean start to heal and open up makes me want to stay. Seeing how happy his daughter is makes me feel like I belong here.
Now, I'm slowly falling for the town of Sutten-and my boss.
I know better than to open myself back up and to give my heart to a man who swore he'd never love again.
But maybe with enough time, we can stop fighting our feelings long enough to fight for the family we've created. Maybe we can run toward each other for once and chase our forever.
Chase Our Forever is a small town, single dad, billionaire, age gap romance releasing on October 10th. This will be the third book set in the fictional town of Sutten Mountain. It is a complete standalone.

His songs were better when he had a broken heart.
That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter.
All I had to do?
Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again.
The pop icon's songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album-like the first he'd penned, using his heartbreak as fuel.
The plan was simple: I'd go on tour with him as a backup dancer...and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire-to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all-to destroy every feeling we hoped he'd develop for me.
It seemed simple enough. Easy, even.
I didn't expect to be consumed myself-to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn't foresee falling for him. It didn't occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own.
Most of all, I never thought I'd fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.
I did what I had to do to protect someone I care about.
That sentence almost ruined my career-my life-and painted me as the villain in a story I was trying so desperately to save.
But that story wasn't finished, and I am not someone you want to piss off.
As the manager for global pop sensation Nash Pierce, I've had to make some tough decisions. But when both Nash's career and passion were threatened by his corrupt record label, the decision was easy-burn the label to the ground.
And do it before Nash's annoying younger brother Aiden Pierce ruined everything.
No one despised me more than Aiden for what I did, and no one was able to push my buttons like he could. He was cocky, selfish, and had a temper that could blow up my entire plan.
Now, not only did I have to take down a billion-dollar corporation, but I had to do it alongside someone that hated me.
And then things got complicated.
I didn't expect to let Aiden in-to relinquish control to him so easily. I didn't foresee being consumed by desire for a man that I held so much animosity toward. It didn't occur to me that while fighting a common enemy, we might just find our own common ground.
Most of all, I never thought that love and trust could stem from a relationship that had always been founded on deception.
Founded on Deception is an enemies to lovers romance and the third interconnected standalone book in The Mixtape Series.
I'll only disappoint you.
That sentence should've deterred me from Poe Hanson-it should've at least kept me from falling in love with him.
The problem was, by the time he uttered those words it was already too late. He already had my heart, whether he wanted it or not.
From the moment I first saw his sad eyes and guitar-worn hands, I knew I wanted him. His darkness spoke to my darkness.
His hurt danced with my hurt. We seemed like a perfect fit.
Except for one small detail-the only thing he will ever love is music.
When he came to me offering a way I could finally have some part of him-to be friends with benefits-I knew it was dangerous, destined to fail.
I'd always need more.
But it didn't matter. I took him in any way I could have him, knowing one day my heart would pay the price.
I didn't expect to be anything more than friends. I didn't foresee our damaged puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together. It didn't occur to me that while I was handing my heart over to him; he was unknowingly doing the same.
Most of all, I never thought the scars of my past could be mended by a love that had always been founded on rejection.
Founded on Rejection is an angsty age gap romance and the fourth interconnected standalone in The Mixtape Series. It is a full length standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
This means nothing.
That sentence would become the biggest lie I've ever told myself after spending an unforgettable night with Sebastian Compton.
Because he has rules-one night, no strings attached.
It's easier that way. He travels the world as a bodyguard for his best friend and one of the most famous pop icons alive. I'm merely a glorified coffee-runner, still trying to get noticed by my boss. It would never work between us.
It should have meant nothing.
After all, my best friend schemed to hurt the very man Sebastian was hired to protect-and I knew about it. He shouldn't want to be near me. We shouldn't be sneaking around, hiding our feelings from those closest to us.
I shouldn't want him. He's arrogant, jealous, and possessive-breaking his rules and my boundaries, claiming me for another night only to leave again.
But now, it means everything.
I never expected more than a single night with him. I didn't foresee being thrust back together by the product of our lust. It didn't occur to me that while fighting our feelings, we may have built something worth fighting for.
Most of all, I never thought something so perfect could grow from a relationship that had always been founded on temptation.
I did what I had to do to protect someone I care about.
