On the one-year anniversary of his father's death, Gage had only two things in mind-endless whiskey and endless women, but what he got was a battered, bruised spitfire stumbling through woods in the middle of the night.Newly-appointed prosecutor and unapologetic workaholic, Niki Avery had spent her life working toward one goal-never to have to depend on anyone but herself... until the day she was brutally attacked on the side of the road. Stripped of her Louis Vuitton and her dignity, the fiercely independent ADA must submit to being under the watchful eye of a former Marine, a loose cannon with a temper as scorching as his ruggedly handsome good looks. As cracks begin to show in the Steele family, including newly discovered evidence that their father's death was no accident, Gage wrestles with his growing feelings for his client, knowing not only that Niki is off-limits, but together, they were like gasoline and fire-an explosion he wanted nothing more than to ignite in the bedroom. But when a pair of bloody body parts show up at the compound, it becomes clear that Niki's attacker hasn't given up and Gage realizes he'll do anything to keep her safe... even as his own family is spiraling out of control.Cabin 1 is the first book in the 3-part Berry Springs spinoff series, STEELE SHADOWS SECURITY-Think of it as Berry Springs' darker, grittier, steamier, BAD BOY brother.

Aina Solís has fought her way to the top of criminal ranks in the city of Kosín by wresting control of an assassin empire owned by her old boss, Kohl. She never has to fear losing her home and returning to life on the streets again—except Kohl, the man who tried to ruin her life, will do anything to get his empire back. Aina sets out to kill him before he can kill her. But Alsane Bautix, the old army general who was banned from his seat in the government after Aina revealed his corruption, is working to take back power by destroying anyone who stands in his way. With a new civil war on the horizon and all their lives at risk, the only way for Aina to protect her home is to join up with the only other criminal more notorious than her: Kohl himself. As Bautix’s attacks increase, Aina and Kohl work together to stop his incoming weapons shipments and his plans to take back the Tower of Steel. To defeat them both, Aina will resort to betrayal, poison, and a deadly type of magic that hasn’t been used in years. Through narrow alleys, across train rooftops, and deep in the city’s tunnels, Aina and Kohl will test each other’s strengths and limits, each of them knowing that once Bautix is dead, they’ll still have to face each other. If she manages to kill him, she’ll finally have the freedom she wants—but it might forever mark her as his shadow in a city where only the strongest survive.

Amidst a firestorm of family drama, Ax finds a woman held captive in the middle of the woods, and in desperate need of his help. With an armful of tattoos as colorful as her attitude, his new client is his antithesis--a free-spirited, spontaneous hippie that tests every bit of his patience... and his self-restraint.

But no amount of brains or brawn was going to distract her from her goal, or the secrets she'd kill to keep. Deceit, lies, wrath. Ax's client had them all.
