Cash Hartnell: Football star. World-class flirt. And my best friend’s brother.

 

Some girls might like the attention that comes with being the new face at Shafer University. Me? I prefer to fade into the background. I’m only here to handle my aunt’s estate and close the book on a long, painful chapter of my life.

 

I wasn't even thinking about men until Cash and I locked eyes across a crowded bar. I didn't care about football until I saw the way his tattooed body fills out a jersey. I never understood the meaning of 'temptation' until his strictly off-limits lips whispered into my ear.

 

His only flaws? Being my best friend's brother—and chasing me despite her strict warning.

Like when he offers to help renovate the house I just inherited, and I find myself working alongside his cut biceps in a big, empty house all winter long.

 

See, the thing about Cash?

He always wins.

 

Even if it means breaking the rules, passing secret notes in class, and crashing my date with another man just to make sure the world knows who I belong to.

 

And after one forbidden kiss? I'm ready to break some rules of my own.

 

Always Meant For You is an interconnected standalone romance and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read the other books in the Shafer U series!

Release: Be With Me

BE WITH ME

J.H. Croix

Release Date: June 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

He hides his grief behind charm and easy smiles. She’s spent her whole life surviving on her own. Falling in love is out of the question.

The first time I laid eyes on Adele Jacks, she was staring down a wild animal, bold and unforgettable. She stole my breath before I even knew her name. And I'm the guy who doesn't lose his breath over anyone.

I never planned to fall in love. Not ever. I’m the guy who laughs everything off, the charming cynic who hides his scars behind jokes. But Adele? She’s a force of nature who upends my life.

She's tough, she's smart, and she's hiding something. She's the kind of wilderness guide who can out-hike me any day and stare down a grizzly without blinking. Before I know it, she’s working at my family’s wilderness resort—walls up, defenses sky-high. She’s slipping through the cracks in my heart every time I catch the vulnerability she tries to hide.

The longer I know her, the harder it becomes to keep things light and uncomplicated the way I always have. Because underneath the flirting and easy smiles, I’ve spent years avoiding anything that feels too real.

But with Adele, I want to protect her, claim her, and make the world safe for her.

When a ghost from her past crosses our path, and I see the flash of something she thought she'd buried — I realize there's nothing I won't do to take care of her. Because somewhere between the slow burn, the reluctant sparks, and the small-town chaos, Adele became my forever. Scars and all.

Even if falling for her means finally risking my own heart, too.

A steamy, emotional small-town firefighter romance featuring a flirty wounded hero with hidden scars, a fierce heroine, forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, found family, and a protective hero who falls hard and fights harder.

Cover Reveal: Dance Practice

Bella Jewel has revealed the cover for Dance Practice, Cancelled!

Releasing: June 26, 2026

Cover Designer: Ben Ellis - Pilcrow Design

My life is a series of twists and turns, and this one...
Oh, this one takes the cake.
Let me paint you a picture.
It starts with a luxury voyage, my dance team, and a group of world-famous fighters.
Strange, right?
That's what I thought, too.
Still, I figured I'd smile for the cameras, survive the awkward introductions, and count down the days until I could get back to my real life.
Simple.
Or at least it should have been.
Instead, I get a storm.
A shipwreck.
And him.
Arrogant. Protective. Infuriatingly attractive.
The kind of man who gets under my skin almost as much as he gets in my way.
The kind of man I should probably avoid.
The kind of man who keeps saving my life.
Now we're stranded on a remote island where every day is a fight to survive, and every night makes it a little harder to remember why falling for him is such a bad idea.
But here's the thing.
The island isn't the only one keeping secrets.
The longer we're trapped here, the more questions I have.
About the wreck.
About my teammates.
About my family.
About my father.
About the rescue that never comes.
And about the fighter who's becoming impossible to resist.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't being stranded on a deserted island.
It's trusting the wrong person.

Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable’.

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

He was sent to protect her until he could eliminate her. Then she became the one person he couldn’t destroy.

 

Aria Connors thought losing her fiancé was the worst thing she would ever survive.

 

Then come the gifts. The warnings. The feeling that someone is watching her while she sleeps. Until a masked stranger starts haunting the edges of her life—first as a presence in the shadows, then as a faceless voice, then as the man who seems to understand the most broken parts of her. The deeper Aria falls, the harder it becomes to tell danger from desire.

 

Ren is the Triads’ most feared weapon—a silent assassin known as the god of death. He was given one job: keep Aria alive until a key is recovered…then kill her. But Ren has spent his life obeying orders without hesitation. Aria was supposed to be a job. A problem. A means to an end. Instead, she gets under his skin, into his blood, and past every wall he’s ever built.

 

Now enemies are closing in, the secrets buried in Aria’s past are beginning to unravel, and the empire Ren serves will destroy them both before it lets them walk away. As betrayal, obsession, and desire collide, Ren will have to choose between the world that made him a monster…or the woman who makes him want to be a man.

 

Because in a world ruled by death, falling in love may be the most dangerous betrayal of all.

 

For fans of Peaky Blinders grit, Phantom of the Opera obsession, and Ocean’s Eleven schemes—with angst, spice, and sharp twists.

 

WELCOME TO THE ANTIHERO SYNDICATE

 

Six men. One brotherhood. One vow: no mercy.

 

Each book is a standalone dark romance with an HEA and an overarching war against The Association.
