“Oh, nothing. Just the baby.”

  “Ohh, I want to see him.”

  My heart is pounding so hard as she walks over, I have to turn around and pretend to look at Grey as he stretches in the windowsill.

  I hear a faint crinkle.

  “What’s in his—”

  Lucy gasps. I turn around in time to find her staring down at Ollie, huge tears rolling down her face.

  “Oh my God.” She starts laughing as she lunges for me. “Liam—oh God! Oh God!”

  I pull her up against me. “Did you see what Ollie has?”

  There’s screeching, wailing, and then crying as she opens up our baby’s hand and I take the ring from her.

  “Lucy Rhodes…” I get down on one knee. “I know it’s still a little soon, but I can’t wait. Will you marry me?”

  The baby cries. Lucy wraps her arms around my neck, pressing my cheek against her flatter belly.

  “YES!”

  That’s not how our story ends. It’s the beginning.

  Sloth: A Sinful Secrets Romance

  (USA Today bestseller!)

  Dear A. –

  I am writing to express my gratitude for your gift. There are no sufficient words, but please accept my sincerest thank you.

  Yours,

  R.

  She writes me back.

  I didn’t expect that.

  She tells me she’s a lover of chicken pizza and video games, a hot sorority girl with the nickname Sloth. She wants to know something about me in return. She says I owe her.

  This is how she saves my life. She doesn’t even know it. We’ve never even seen each other. But I need a reason. Just one reason to continue. She becomes mine.

  The anonymity is good. She doesn’t need to know me, but I need her kindness. We both live our lives: a letter here, a post card there. For three years, I escape my demons. And then one day I’m pulled back in.

  I’ve resigned myself to what I know is coming. Until the girl I’m spanking gives her safe word: Sloth.

  And then the lie I’m living starts to unravel.

  Murder: A Sinful Secrets Romance

  Gwenna White’s new neighbor is…distracting. He’s a beautiful, tattooed, motorcycle-driving enigma. One she can’t allow herself to think about. Since the accident that ruined her face and stole her career, Gwen, a former model, lives under the radar, seldom leaving the bear sanctuary she runs in the Tennessee mountains. She’s not reclusive, but that doesn’t mean she’s looking for a lover. Definitely not someone who looks like that.

  Barrett Drake could use a friend: a tall order, since most of his are dead. His damaged hand may be the reason he’s out of special ops, but it’s not his only wound. Not by a long shot. All that’s left between Bear and a new life is one last job. If he can hold on, get it done… He won’t be here that long. Just long enough to ruin Gwen’s life and make a speedy exit. That’s the plan.

  But things don’t always go as planned.

  You can’t choose who you love.

  You can’t fix fate.

  And that’s the problem…

  *Murder is a standalone romance with a hint of mystery. It’s the second in the Sinful Secrets Series, in which each book is inspired by a sin and centered on a huge secret.
