I don't have time to date, especially not the infuriatingly bossy, ridiculously hot sheriff. But Dillon Armstrong won't take no for an answer.

Dillon
The first time I lay eyes on the little firecracker, I know my life will never be the same again. She’s determined to resist me, but I refuse to take no for an answer. I’ll play dirty if necessary.

Lola Knight
When I took a summer job working for my idols, I thought my life was complete.
And then I met them in person and fell in love.
They're opposites in every way, but like a moth to the flame, I'm drawn to both.
I crave their touches. Their kisses. Their love.
I don't think I stand a chance until a summer storm strands me with the men of my dreams and the rules go out the window.
As it turns out, they have a few desires of their own.
They say they're going to claim me, own me...ruin me.

Meeting his curvy soulmate switches this computer genius from laid-back MC brother to Beast mode in the blink of an eye.

Finn "Hacker" Taylor
I've always been the quiet brother in my MC.
The resident genius who gets things done and keeps his head down.
I prefer my bike and my computers to most people.
Until I set eyes on Scarlett Crawford, the curvy new clerk at Gatsby Books.
She's the sweetest little bookworm who makes me laugh like no other.
Now, I'm spending all my time looking for reasons to stalk the bookshop.
When I find out someone is harassing my woman, all bets are off.
This shy little thing is going to be mine.
And whoever is bothering her will answer to me and my MC.

Scarlett Crawford
When I took a job at Gatsby Books, I did not know it came with a stupid-hot biker.
Finn Taylor makes my mouth do things I didn't permit it to do.
And my heart feel things I didn't give it permission to feel.
Don't even get me started on what he does to the rest of me!
When he's around, nothing else matters.
Including the odd little man who keeps popping up all over the place.
As soon as Finn finds out about him, my life turns into a testosterone-fueled fantasy.
And then it derails in ways I never expected.
When the dust clears, my happily-ever-after looks a lot different than I thought it would.
But all the best fairytales usually work out that way, don't they?


These wealthy Texans have it all—Money, looks, power, their MC, and brothers. The only thing missing is someone to share it all with. There's a shortage of eligible ladies in town but these determined men won't let that slow them down. These MC brothers are going to turn the town of Silver Spoon Falls, Texas, on its ear looking for their curvy soulmates.

Nichole Rose and Loni Ree are bringing you the Silver Spoon MC, and this isn't your typical MC romance series. Nichole and Loni like to keep things light. Come along with us on this wild instalove ride.

"Is this for me?" Her hazel eyes widen in genuine delight.
"Depends," I say.
"On what?" She leans toward me almost as if she can't help herself, those beautiful eyes locked on my face. "If you mention the thing that happened yesterday that we agreed never happened, I'm going to have to murder you."
"Yeah?" A grin spreads across my face. "You think you can take me?"
"I read mafia smut like it's going out of business," she scoffs. "I know at least fifty-four ways to unalive a man. I can take you."
"Mafia smut?" My grin widens.
"Dirty books about hot mafia men." A blush creeps across her cheeks. "It's a thing. You ask way too many questions, Super-spy Finn Taylor."
I briefly consider telling her about the Arakas family, the closest thing to a mafia family we have in town, and then quickly change my mind. She does not need to know a damn thing about them. Not until she's wearing my ring and it's too late for one of them to swoop in and try to steal her. Call me crazy, but I don't think Jude "Fifth" Despora would appreciate it if I had to kill one of his new in-laws. I mean, he and Devin Arakas haven't even been married that long.
"I'm going to need recommendations, pretty baby," I growl.

"You want to read the dirty mafia books?" She stares at me in patent disbelief.
Uh, fuck yeah, I do. Especially if they make her blush like that. I have no intentions of fighting fair when it comes to her. I'll read a thousand dirty mafia books if it gets me closer to my end goal. Besides, any excuses I have to visit the bookshop is a good excuse in my book. Pun intended.
"I do," I say, reaching out to run my thumb across her bottom lip. "I want to know everything about you, Scarlett Crawford from Gatsby Books."
"I'm not very interesting," she whispers. And then I feel the tip of her tongue touch my thumb.
My cock thumps against my zipper again, acting like the Hulk.
Ah, dammit all to hell. My brothers were right. It is this water. And I need to drink more of it. A lot more.
The door to the shop opens and Mr. and Mrs. Drew, an elderly couple from the retirement village down the street, wanders in. I reluctantly pull my hand back and stand upright, putting a little distance between us before I do something wildly inappropriate and fuck my little bookworm on the counter. Hm. Maybe one night after the shop is closed….
"Welcome to Gatsby Books!" Scarlett calls out.
"Hurry up and leave," I mumble.
Scarlett hears me and quickly grabs her coffee cup, taking a giant gulp.
"Jeshush Chrish," she says, sticking her tongue out and trying to blow on it. "Thash shot."
"It's coffee, pretty baby."
She gives me a dirty glare.
I hold my hands up, fighting a smile. I can't wait until I'm allowed to kiss the shit out of this girl. Fuck me. That better be soon. This waiting bullshit is already getting old.
"You drank my coffee; therefore, you owe me a favor," I say when she finally stops blowing on her tongue. "That's my price."
"I did not agree to this!"
"You agreed by drinking the coffee."
"Mafia reader," she mouths, pointing at herself.
"I know how often they fuck in those books, Scarlett," I growl, leaning toward the counter and pitching my voice low. "You keep threatening me with a good time, we'll be finding out if we can keep up, pretty baby. Book by book."

That was before Devil joined the Diamond Kings.
Every time I turn around, he's there. Watching me. Ordering me around.
Something about him makes me want to misbehave just to drive him wild.
But Devil isn't who he says he is. I'd stake my life on it.

Someone has been sleeping in my bed…only it isn't me.
And I didn't give her permission.

"Stop thinking about what?" a deep voice rumbles in the dark.

I scream, flinging myself away from him. At least I try to fling myself away. But whoever is in the room with me must be a ninja because they're standing behind me. All I manage to do is fling myself right into his arms.

They close around me and a surge of panic fires through me. My mind short-circuits, fight or flight kicking in. I thrash like a hellcat, trying to get free, but he yanks me up against his chest, easily subduing me. I manage to bring my knee up and slam it into his upper thigh, narrowly missing his groin.

"Fuck," he growls, momentarily relaxing his hold on me.

I use that split second to my advantage, yanking one hand free to scratch him.

"Son of a bitch," he snarls, grabbing me again. The next thing I know, I'm on the bed with him on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress.

"Let me go!" I cry, tears welling in my eyes as panic threatens to overwhelm me.

"Easy, baby doll," Jude rasps in my ear. "Easy. I'm not going to hurt you."

"J-Jude?" I gasp, every muscle in my body relaxing all at once.

"Yeah. Fucking hell," he swears, rolling off the bed. "Who did you think it was?"

"I…I…" I don't know what I thought. I wasn't thinking. "You grabbed me."

"I won't be doing that again," he growls, flipping on the light. "Jesus Christ, Devin."

I blink up at him, my stomach clenching. His white button down is rumpled, the sleeves rolled up. His hair is a mess and he's scowling daggers at me, but he looks gorgeous. Dismay courses through me when I see the scratches across his cheek.
"You climbed through my window," he says.

"I'm sorry." Naturally, I do the least helpful thing possible in this situation. I start crying. I don't even know why! Adrenaline, nerves, shame, fear? A combination of all four? I don't know. But I just assaulted him in his room, which I broke into…and he's a lawyer.

"Are you crying?" He sounds horrified. Looks it too.

"N-n-no," I lie, squeezing my eyes closed and then covering them with my hands like that's going to help hide the fact that I'm bawling.

"Jesus. Did I hurt you?" The bed shifts as he sits beside me. A second later, I feel his hands on me, running down my body as he checks me for injuries. His hands are warm and rough, but his touch is gentle. "Did I hurt you, baby doll? I need you to answer me."

"N-no," I whisper.

He expels a breath.

"I hurt you."

"It's a scratch, Devin."

"Are you going to have me arrested?"

He pries my hands from my face. "Look at me."

I shake my head.

"Look at me," he growls.

I reluctantly crack my eyes open to peek up at him.

"You've been sleeping in my bed for the last week." It's not a question or a guess. It's a simple statement of fact. He knows I've been staying here. Oh no.

"Please don't call the police," I cry, scrambling to sit upright as more tears pour down my face. "I p-promise I'll l-leave and not come back. I didn't t-take anything except a few snacks and a toothbrush and deodorant and books to read. I'll pay for e-everything." I try to slide around him off the bed, but he grabs me again, his hands fitting easily around my waist.

"Stop," he commands. "You aren't going anywhere."

My shoulders slump, defeat coursing through me in a black cloud of doom. It's over. He's going to call the police, who will call my brother. He'll bribe my way out of jail…and I'll never be allowed to leave Houston again. My freedom will end in handcuffs and humiliation.
​
I suppose that's fitting since it began in zip-ties and intimidation.

Can one magical night and two big secrets add up to forever for this billionaire and his curvy girl?

Cortez Blake
I fell hard for Piper's sassy attitude and gorgeous curves.
We had one magical night together, and then she disappeared.
She never even told me her last name.
I turned the city upside down looking for her, but I never thought I'd find her again.

Now, I'll stop at nothing to make her mine forever.
There's only one problem.
Come tomorrow, I won't be the moderately successful man she met two months ago.
I'll be one of the biggest billionaires in the state.

Piper Daniels
I never meant to become a walking, talking cliché, but I did it anyway.
I gave my V-Card to a handsome man I met in a bar…and promptly fell in love.
Except when I woke up the next morning, he was gone.
I promised myself I'd forget all about him.
Until two pink lines changed everything.
Now, he's standing in the middle of the hotel where I work, and I'm still reeling.
He touches me, and I want to get lost in him.

Constance Nayler
I've heard so much about Slate from my mom, I feel like I know him.
When she goes missing overseas, I run right to him.
If anyone can help me, the SEAL who saved her once before can.
She forgot to tell me that he's gorgeous…and bossy as can be.
Every time he looks at me, I feel him in my soul.

Can a billionaire biker and his rival's curvy little sister find forever together…or is blood really thicker than water?

Andreas Romano
Thanks to my father's shady business practices, my life has devolved into putting out one fire after another.
The latest? Dealing with the rival MC he hired to strong-arm federal regulators into looking the other way.
The Hell's Vipers have been nothing but trouble.
Until I stumble across Catriona Grady, their VPs curvy little sister.

​

"Holy crap!" Catriona whisper-shouts.

I glance down at her.

"Bent is playing here tonight." She points at the giant banner stretched across the far wall. Bender's ugly mug is front center, his long hair, and dark eyes unmistakable. Women go fucking crazy over him. It's great for me. When he's around, everyone leaves me alone and bugs the hell out of him instead.

"Mmhmm," I say, chuckling. Most women would have asked a million questions by now about our plans for the night. Not Catriona. I think if I were anyone else, she'd have asked just as many questions and wouldn't have been satisfied until she had answers. But she knows she's safe with me. She trusts me to take care of her. "I thought you might like to meet Bender, little one."

"You know Bender?" She gapes at me.

"He's one of my brothers.

"Really? He's the one we're here to meet?"

"Yep."

"Catch y'all later," Grizz says.

"Thanks, man."

He gives us a two-finger salute and then takes off. I lace my fingers through Catriona's and head toward the stairs to go find Bender. The stadium is home to the Houston Rockets, so everything is decked out in team colors and memorabilia. Catriona barely notices. She walks quietly at my side for a moment and then peers up at me, her lip caught firmly between her teeth.

"You're a billionaire," she says. "Bender is a rockstar. Giant is…I'm not sure what he is, but he's something. Jude is a lawyer. Are there any normal people in your MC, Andreas?"

"Normal people?" I laugh quietly, leading her up the stairs to the second floor of the stadium.

"You know what I mean." She rolls her eyes at me.

"We're all normal, little one," I murmur. "We've just been fortunate in life."

"So that's a no then," she says, making me smile again. She's cute when she gets all snarky and sassy. "You're all ridiculously hot and crazy successful, aren't you?"

"First of all, I'm the only one you're allowed to look at," I say, hitting her with a hard look. "Everyone else in the MC looks like Peewee fucking Herman as far as you're concerned. Second, we're all successful, yes. But success looks different to each of us, rabbit. If Hands was asked to give up his practice to save even a single patient, he wouldn't hesitate. Hacker's family is probably worth more than mine. He could dominate the tech industry if he wanted to do it, but he's happiest here."

"I didn't mean it like that," she says softly.

"I know," I promise. "But my point is, each of us defines what success looks like to us and it's different for each of us. To me, success isn't money or power, little one. It's repairing the damage my father did to our company and our family. It's having a family of my own. It's love."

It's growing old with her. It's spending the rest of my life loving her.

Her expression softens, anxiety and consternation melting away.

"I don't want you worrying yourself, thinking you won't fit in because you aren't a millionaire or didn't come from money or don't own a company or haven't figured out exactly what your life is going to look like fifteen years from now," I murmur, gently tugging a loose curl as we reach the top of the stairs. "We're all still figuring shit out. We all want different things and we're all on our own paths to reach them. My brothers and I are just lucky enough to travel alongside one another along the way."

She stops walking and tips her head to the side, looking at me with wide eyes. "You're pretty smart, Andreas Romano."

"Yeah?" I grin at her.

"I mean, I'm pretty sure you're full of it, but you sure look pretty saying it," she says, and then squeals with laughter and dodges away from me when I try to get my hands on her. "I was just kidding!"

"You were not, you little liar."
​
"You're right. I wasn't. You did look pretty saying it," she says, laughing up at me with greenest eyes and the brightest smile I've ever seen.
