High Sticking the Heart
No last names, no phone numbers, no job titles…
Ariella Contreras doesn’t have time for distractions.
She’s fought hard for her independence, determined to break free from cultural tradition, family expectations, and anything that could derail her career. So when a tall, cowboy hat-wearing Texan with Wranglers tight enough to test the strongest will begs her to pose as his fake date to dodge an ex? She should’ve stuck to her first instinct and told him to get lost.
Because the man she was never supposed to see again? Turns out he’s Dalton Langley, star player for the hockey team she’s just been hired to coach on… and the son of her new boss.
Now, with her job under scrutiny and the team owner watching her every move, walking away from the charade isn’t an option. To protect her position, Ariella has to keep up the act. At least until she proves she belongs on this team because of her performance, not because of who she’s dating.
Dalton’s plan this season is simple: stay out of the tabloids, stay focused, and definitely don’t get involved with anyone. Especially not the new strength coach who challenges him at every turn and makes him feel like he's more than just a headline.
What was supposed to be one night of fake dating is quickly spiraling into something neither of them saw coming. The lines between real and fake begin to blur, and walking away might end up hurting like a High Stick to the Heart.

Fake Out With Fate

“This isn’t Bring a Family Member to Work Day, Contreras,” Josh said in his usual gruff tone, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring.
Gracie peeled Ari’s hand from her mouth. “Well, lucky for you, I’m here to do my job,” she said with a smile, clearly unfazed by his grumpiness.
Monroe raised an eyebrow, nodding toward the coffee carrier and arm full of stuff. “What job’s that? Crafts services?”
“No, actually,” she said, not missing a beat. “I work in sports marketing, specializing in content.” She flashed her pass in Monroe’s face, coming within inches of hitting him. I tried not to laugh. “See, I was invited, thank you very much. Usually, it’s my job to make people like you look better. Most of the time, I charge for this advice, but you look like you could use it, so here’s a freebie. If you smiled more, they wouldn’t think you’re part bear.”
The words were kind, hell even her tone was, but there was still something in her delivery that made it undeniable that she was telling him to go fuck himself.
Monroe’s scowl deepened, but her grin only widened.

To survive in the Los Muertos Cartel, you have to stay useful, especially when you're a woman. So I made sure I couldn't be replaced. Now my name is whispered about in the shadows— La Brujita de Los Muertos. Too bad I forgot that lies and deceit are the lifeblood of this toxic paradise.
I should have seen the betrayal coming.
My hands were always destined to be drenched in the blood of guilty men.

The problem with caging a predator, someday, they may get out…
Scarletta
Bastard, daughter of a traitor.
To the Italian Don of New York, I’m nothing more than a tool to be wielded. My obedience was the price I had to pay for the sins of my father. But Dominick Romano should have worked on gaining my loyalty because the chains he shackled me with have been undone.
The Four Families have always run New York.
Italian Mafia, Irish Mob, Russian Bratva, and the Jirocho Yakuza Clan.
An alliance cloaked in proclamations of peace while they hold knives to one another’s backs. But a new player has emerged, The Syndicate. Three men born of the same blood as those whose kingdoms they’ve come to conquer.
They think they can use me the same way my uncle did, but they’re in for a rude awakening when they realize I’m not a damsel in distress. There’s been a blade in my hand this whole time, and I’ve been waiting to land the blow that starts the bloodbath.
I will not bow at their feet.
But soon, all of New York, and those who think they can rule it, will kneel at mine.

*Forced marriage

True delusion...
Nikki
Running away and becoming someone new would be far easier if the demons of my past didn’t insist on showing up at my doorstep. Turns out that leaving an evil Russian Bratva leader at the altar after helping stage his assassination only pissed him off and made me a target.
I tried blending, but hiding in the shadows under a fake alias is no longer enough.
It should have been easy to keep my distance from the MC member burdened with protecting me. He is just as averse to commitment as I am, yet he’s been the only person ever to see me, even through all the smoke and mirrors I keep between us.

...was believing that if you pretended your problems didn’t exist, they’d go away on their own. That the monsters living under your bed wouldn’t get tired of waiting for you to crawl into the dark with them.
But they always did.
Dex
She’s shrouded in secrets, and there’s nothing I want more than to peel back every layer and discover what’s at her core. The glimpses she gives me have me hooked in a way I’ve never experienced before. I’ve always been:
No commitments.
No girlfriends—hell, I’ve never had a female friend.
Yet here I am, wanting to protect her, to be the weapon she wields against her enemies. Because if there’s one thing I have learned during our time together, it’s that the ache in my chest only stops when I am with her.
She’s mine now.

What do you get when you put a woman who isn’t afraid to use her brain and get her hands dirty and a biker who is turned on every time she’s blood thirsty? Straight fire.
This book is EVERYTHING I ever wanted. Hot bikers, strong FMC, strong female friendships, action, spicy spice, plot twists and a porn stache. I laughed, gasped, screamed in horror and kicked my feet at how swoon worthy Gunner is. I can’t wait to continue reading the series.
"This book is everything!"

Obsessed to say the least. I’m a sucker for a good MC book, but this one takes it to another level. We’ve got a badass Latin goddess, Ryan, and then we’ve got the tough cinnamon roll simp, Gunner. Their chemistry was IMMEDIATELY, & I was here. 👏🏼 for. 👏🏼 it. 👏🏼🔥 I did immersive reading where I listened to the audiobook while reading along on my Kindle, & that takes the reading experience up a notch. The narrators did amazing including all the accents, banter, & spice. Loved learning about the Mexican culture & especially the side characters (can’t wait for their stories!) 😍 Will definitely continue with the rest of the series with Syndicate of Sins next! 🙌🏼❤️🔥🖤💙💚

My favorite of the series yet! This book had everything I could’ve asked for. A badass FMC who can handle her own like no other, amazing plot, and incredible smut. I couldn’t put this book down for the life of me, and it’ll definitely have you hooked like no other!

Marie is one of the few people who can write a book that has me laughing my a$$ off, tearing up, and hot and bothered within a few hundred pages. I think it’s the Aquarius in us!
Dax and Nikki were everything a slow burn book should be. Give me all the flirty, dirty AF banter. I think my favorite parts of this book were Dex’s romantic musings and declarations of love and the crews from book one and two being so heavily involved.
I absolutely loved this read, which was no surprise. And I’m secret hoping we get a book for Andrei 🖤🖤

Hey there Baddie!
I'm Marie!
so I did the next best thing and wrote it in my books (okay, they don’t stab in my hockey books, but you bet your ass they are petty).
Writing a book was only supposed to be a bucket list thing to check off; now, here we are. I wrote my first book, Skeletons of Society, after struggling to find books in the mafia/romantic suspense genre with strong, morally grey women.
Read My Full Story >>
Stabbing is frowned upon in real life...
As it turns out, readers were looking for that,
because it’s one of the most praised aspects of my writing. My author brand centers around writing unapologetic feminine rage with FMCs as badass as the boys who fall for them. And now I am trying my hand in the sports romance world!
I currently live in Tennessee and try to survive the cycle of working, writing, mom-ing, and consuming questionable amounts of caffeine.

Facts
My boothang and I meet at 15 at summer camp. Then didn’t speak for 5 years UNTIL I saw him walking up the stairs at a concert I went to.
HUGE music junkie. I’ve stage dove before too.
My Serial Killer trait is that I poke at my bruises so I’ll be used to the pain and not surprised by it…I know.
My favorite genre to read is fantasy/paranormal so guess what genre ya girl wants to write eventually.
