Has she been banished from her community, or married off, as some have suggested?

    Small towns are definitely not for me. The understanding was that I would one day return to Chamberlin, California. What my father didn't count on was that once he sent me away, I would never come back—at least not until he was gone.Which brings me to now, his wake. It also brings me to her. The girl who has grown into the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on—Laurel Anderson.She's looking at me as though she wishes I was the one she watched get buried this morning. Well, nothing to do but see if I can seduce the pure and passionate Laurel, and change that anger I see in her eyes to something just as fiery . . . desire.The last time I saw Noah Chamberlin, I was a doe-eyed innocent and he was the boy of my dreams. You'd think after all these years, I'd feel the same blind indignation and rage that has haunted me since that day. Instead, I felt something altogether unwanted and unexpected—lust.If the rumors are true, he's only going to be in Chamberlin for a few days. I can handle that. But when Noah's forced to stay and run the family business, it puts us in dangerously close proximity. And in a town this small, that can only mean one thing—trouble.Contains mature themes.

    No indiscriminate killing. No collateral damage. No unvetted targets. 
    These are the rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Rules that make being Fog City's Prince of Killers bearable. Soon, he'll be king-of an organization of assassins-and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life. 
    Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one too, all loose-limbed and casually confident. He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator's license, and a message for the prince. Someone inside Hawes's organization is out to kill the future king. 
    In the chaos that follows the timely warning, Hawes comes to depend on Dante. On his skills as an investigator, on the steadiness he offers, and on their moments alone when Hawes lets Dante take control. As alliances are tested and traitors exposed, Hawes needs Dante at his back and in his bed. But if the PI ever learns Hawes's darkest secret, Hawes is sure to get a knife to the heart-and a bullet to the brain-instead. 
    Contains mature themes.

    When the wrong man turns out to be the right one... 
    Nash, a longtime Dirty Angels MC member and lead singer of Dirty Deeds, has a secret. For years, he’s hidden his bisexuality from his brothers, fellow bikers, worried how they’d take the news. But Nash isn’t the only one keeping secrets from his brotherhood. So is Cross, a police officer and member of the Blue Avengers MC. 
    As opposite as they come, when Cross spots Nash across the bar, he can’t resist the unexpected attraction. Then lines are crossed, boundaries blurred. And they need to survive in two different worlds where men who like other men aren’t usually accepted, and where bikers and cops don’t mix. 
    Reality and fantasy are two different things. The fantasy being Cross and Nash can be together, that they can make it work. The reality being their situation is impossible. Cross will never give up being a cop. Nash will never give up being a biker. What either of them would have to walk away from is more than anyone should ask for. In the end, fighting reality could be a losing battle in a war they might never win. 
    Note: A standalone, Crossing the Line is a crossover gay romance involving a member of the Dirty Angels MC and one from the Blue Avengers MC. It includes forbidden love, enemies to lovers, cop vs biker, alpha vs alpha. As with all my books, it has no cliffhanger and an HEA.
