Security Risk
The Blackwood Exception For six years, Bailey Sinclair has protected the Blackwood Organisation. They’ve never met her. At twenty-seven, Bailey is the founder of Sinclair Security, one of London’s most sought-after private security companies. She protects politicians, celebrities, billionaires and powerful families—and somehow managed to become one of the most respected names in the industry without ever stepping into the spotlight. The Blackwoods have been one of her oldest clients. They just assumed Bailey Sinclair was a sixty-year-old former SAS operative. They couldn’t have been more wrong. When the Blackwood Organisation expands and their security contract comes up for renewal, Bailey finally sits in on the meeting. Charlie Blackwood, head of the family empire, expects another routine negotiation. Instead, he meets the woman who has been protecting his family for years. She’s beautiful. Immaculate. Completely unimpressed by his reputation. And absolutely unwilling to treat him like anything other than a client. Charlie is used to people fearing him. Bailey doesn’t. She doesn’t want his money, his power or his name. She built an empire of her own long before she ever met him. But as Sinclair Security becomes more deeply involved in the Blackwood organisation, Bailey finds herself spending more time around Charlie and his brothers. Professional boundaries begin to blur. Friendship becomes something else. And Charlie discovers that the one thing he can’t control is the woman who has spent years making sure everyone else stays safe. Because Bailey Sinclair was never supposed to become part of the Blackwood world. And Charlie Blackwood was never supposed to fall for his security provider.

The Wild Card - Cedric
Ashcombe Wildlife Park book 2 Sienna Ashcombe returns home to help her sister redevelop Ashcombe Wildlife Park, expecting six months of blueprints, muddy boots and family chaos. She doesn’t expect Charlie Hale. Cocky, charming and endlessly sarcastic, Charlie becomes her biggest headache—and eventually her best friend. Six months later, they’re inseparable. They flirt. They argue. They touch constantly. They sleep together. Everyone knows. Neither cares. Because they’re just best friends with benefits. No feelings. No expectations. No complications. Except feelings don’t always arrive dramatically. Sometimes they creep in so slowly you don’t notice them until it’s too late. And after months of insisting they’re perfectly happy exactly as they are, Sienna and Charlie are about to discover that “just friends” might have stopped being true a long time ago.

Stand Easy
Corporal Ella Bennett is looking forward to one thing: surprising her family after years of being stationed in Germany. She doesn’t expect to find her brother home on leave—or the three soldiers he’s brought with him. Charlie Ashford is cocky, charming, and far too confident for his own good. Owen never told his friends he had a younger sister, and Charlie certainly wasn’t prepared for Ella. She was supposed to be off-limits. She definitely wasn’t supposed to be beautiful. What starts as simple attraction soon becomes something neither of them planned for. Between long summer evenings, family barbecues, beach trips, and endless teasing, Charlie discovers that winning over Ella is much harder than flashing a smirk—and falling for his best friend’s sister might just be the biggest risk he’s ever taken.

At thirty-two, he’s the confident, charming CEO of Sterling & Co., one of Britain’s most powerful private conglomerates.

She’s smart, capable and exceptionally good at reading people. And despite her sweet face, green eyes and effortless charm, Bailey has a mouth sharp enough to put Charlie Sterling in his place. When Sterling & Co.‘s security scan identify weaknesses, Sinclair Security is brought in to replace the old teams. It’s supposed to be strictly professional. Unfortunately, Charlie can’t seem to stop finding reasons to be involved. Bailey can’t seem to stop calling him out. He flirts. She fires back. He smirks. She rolls her eyes. And somewhere between security meetings, late-night planning sessions and far too much time spent alone together, their professional relationship begins to blur into something neither of them intended. Charlie has always been good at getting what he wants. He just never expected wanting Bailey Sinclair to become his biggest problem. Because this was supposed to be nothing but business.

Or his two mischievous twins, who decide almost immediately that she’s meant to stay forever. As Fletcher effortlessly finds a place in Charlie’s carefully guarded world, the walls around his heart begin to crack. But with an ex who refuses to disappear and a promise he’s determined to keep, Charlie is convinced loving Fletcher would only complicate her life. Fletcher has other ideas.

Just Ella
He never chased. She never expected to be chosen. London’s elite know Lucien Vale as the billionaire who never stays, the man with a different woman on his arm every month and a heart no one has ever managed to keep. Ella Bennett couldn’t be more different. She’s a twenty-four-year-old primary school teacher who measures her days in finger paintings, storybooks, and gold star stickers. Sweet, endlessly kind, and convinced she doesn’t belong among Theo Ashford’s wealthy, powerful friendship group, Ella expects to be the outsider. Instead, they make her one of their own. Sunday dinners become tradition. Weekends away become routine. And thanks to a friendship group that refuses to do anything separately, Ella finds herself spending far too much time with the one man she can’t quite understand. Lucien was never supposed to notice her. He certainly wasn’t supposed to become obsessed with the girl who blushes every time he looks at her. As London’s most notorious playboy falls first—and falls impossibly hard—Ella begins to realise that maybe she was never “just Ella.” Maybe she was always the one person capable of bringing the city’s coldest man to his knees.
