Hunted
Summary
The only way to escape is to die. For 18 years I've suffered at the hands of the Hunters. For 18 years they've done their best to break me, to tear me open and unleash the terrifying monster that lives within. Until the day they go too far. When a desperate escape leads to another brush with death, I'm forced to place my trust in the hands of four formidable strangers. Wild and untamed, their feral natures call to me, their warrior hearts make mine come alive. And when they offer me a place to stay while I heal, I can't say no. But the secrets I carry are deadly, and my past is a twisted, evil nightmare better left forgotten. They may think they want to know me, they may think the secrets they guard behind hard eyes and closed expressions comes close to the ones I keep. But should they ever discover just who they've let into their home, just what I really am...their hatred could be the one thing that finally breaks me. And if I break, the darkness inside me will finally be free. Contains mature themes.

Two besties and a baby make for an instafamily and a surprising romance in a delightful series by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of the Sugar Lake novels.

Decidedly off Limits
Summary
"This book was fun, it was a bit crazy, it was so very, very sexy and it was also impossible for me to put down." (Guilty Pleasures Book Review) Best friend rule number one: Never want the guy’s sister. Oops. Six months ago, I broke off my engagement because I was tired of not even being a distant second to my fiancé’s career. Which is why Trent Salway, my brother’s best friend, is strictly forbidden. One workaholic in my life is more than enough, thank you. We’ll just ignore how I’ve been secretly crushing on him for as long as I can remember. The problem? My best friend - Trent’s sister - is determined to find me Mr. Right. Before being deployed on a Navy SEAL mission, my best friend makes one simple request: I’m supposed to make sure that his sister, Kelsey, isn’t dating any assholes while he’s away. Doesn’t sound too hard, right? Living up to my promise includes crashing at least one blind date - not my finest moment, I might add - and spending more and more time with Kelsey. Sparks fly between us, as do a few items of clothing. Now, I have to decide what to do about the woman I’m falling for - the one whose brother will take me down faster than he takes down the enemy. And I have to decide if I can be something other than a workaholic or if Kelsey is decidedly off limits. Warning: Contains naughty uses for silk ties, forbidden sex, and enough profanities to make a sailor proud.
