Titles By Kelly Violet
At the urging of a friend, Cassandra Jameson found herself in the last place she wanted to be: on a blind date. But favors were for suckers, and she was the biggest one of all. Little did she know, this chance encounter would drag her out of her comfort zone. A place so convenient and safe, she’d been content to stay there for the rest of her life. But that all changed the moment a mystery man sat across from her.
It was shaping up to be a normal evening at the restaurant for Warwick Leary when his pesky, younger brother threw a wrench in those plans. Now, instead of dealing with invoices and spreadsheets, he found himself dining with a sweet, intriguing woman. As their time together came to an end, he figured out a way to extend their date and spice up their night. Because the last thing he wanted was for her to slip away.
Author Note: All The Pleasure was first published in 2020 exclusively on the Radish Fiction app under All The Ways. This story has been re-edited and expanded. It is now Book 1 in the All The Ways Duo. Book 2 will feature a related couple who will be bringing even more heat.

For a Brooklyn girl like Natasha Bradley, life has been anything but a storybook romance. She’s grown up wary of love and all its trappings. Focusing her efforts on friendships, work, and maintaining her independence left little time for much else. Even though her best friend got her very own happily ever after, she never imagined one for herself. A last-minute invite to a charity event changes everything and she comes face to face with her version of Prince Charming. But Tasha’s always been stubborn. Will she let herself fall for the first time without waiting for the inevitable heartbreak?
All work and no play described Christian Hsu’s life in a nutshell. At an early age, he’d been taught that unmatched determination and dedication were the keys to success. It meant he had little room or interest in distractions that a social life would bring. Then it finally hit him. All the success in the world means nothing if there’s no one to share it with. With one look across the ballroom, a lightning bolt struck, electrifying him from head to toe. He had to know the captivating woman in red. Chris was known as a shrewd businessman, but love was a different matter altogether. Does he have what it takes to win the woman who’s set his heart on fire?
Can these two strangers drop their defenses to let love in?
When the masks come off, anything is possible.
Rae-Ana Sharpe was like a brick wall. Solid. Steadfast. And hard to break through. Used to a long line of disappointing moments and heartache, this was now her life. Being hurt by her best friend Xander, though, was the absolute worst. She never really recovered from his unexpected dismissal. Then an impulsive moment in class one day brings him crashing back into her world.
Gives them a second chance...
Alexander Wirth made a colossal mistake the last days of high school. Two years later, it still weighed on his conscience. But Rae was never far from his mind or heart. Taking a chance, he enrolled in an elective way outside of his major. When his bet finally pays off, he gets a rude awakening and a shot at redemption. That’s if she even gives him the time of day.
When life constantly supplies you with lemons, do you lock your heart away for good? Or let the guy of your dreams fix you a glass of spiked lemonade?
The Names You Call Me is a college romance with second chance angst. This novella features an impulsive hero and a heroine with better things to do than forgiving her ex-best friend. Make sure to grab your copy of the prequel, The Love You Give Me, for their backstory.
I learned early in life never to hope for much. Then a boy crashed into my world and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Wouldn’t just leave me be. Now, it was the end of my senior year and things were as good as could be. Especially when it came to me and my best friend, Xander. He was still right there by my side. Only he wasn’t an annoying steamroller anymore. He was the very best thing.
But that was too good to be true. Always had been.
Everyone disappoints me eventually, right?
I always thought it was funny how people let you down right when you needed them most.
Xander
I was on top of the world. High school was coming to an end and there I was with my best friend, Rae, along for the ride. My dream girl. She had no clue how I felt, but I was ready for that to change. To tell her exactly how I wanted things to be between us. If my nerves didn’t kill me first. But I would take my shot no matter what.
She deserves everything.
Until she crushed me. One moment was all it took. One image I couldn’t get out of my head. Then it was over. We were over.
The Love You Give Me is a story of unrequited love between high school best friends. This novelette features mean girls and misunderstandings. Get ready for senior year to go completely off the rails. And be sure to continue their story in The Names You Call Me.
A secret she wanted to bury...
Wynter Simmons was haunted by flashbacks. A year since the incident and she’s still not herself. Just as afraid and ashamed as if it all happened yesterday.

A dream he never saw coming...
Rafael Tapiro was always drifting. Told for most of his life that he wasn’t good enough, he almost believed it. Now, as the new bassist for the up-and-coming band, Country Blue, things are finally looking up. Too bad he doesn’t have anyone to share it with. But a gig at a crowded club changes everything. It only takes one look, and he’s a goner. The music led him to her.

Zion Wallace was slowly wasting away. An accident left him a broken and powerless man, proving just how much things were truly out of his control. When his well-meaning parents took a decision out of his hands, he came face to face with the one person he couldn’t turn his back on. The two of them were like fire and ice. She pushed him, and he pushed right back. And apparently, it was exactly what he’d been waiting for. Too bad she would never want to be with a man like him.
A lesson she learned the hard way...
Abigail Suarez was getting her life back on track. A recent break-up proved that she couldn’t give her trust to just anyone. She left that life behind in order to reclaim herself. Now, she had a job she loved and new motivation to pursue her dreams. But someone from her past had other ideas. With her newest client doing everything to knock her off her game, she needed to think outside the box.

Yvonne Waller made an impossible decision last year. Picking the only option that protected everyone she loves, she ran. Now, she finds herself surrounded by people but not truly connecting with anyone. That all changes when a new face in town strolls into the diner where she works. His tempting eyes and inviting smirk called to a long-forgotten part of her. She soon realized she’d merely been surviving this entire time. And that was no way to live.
A past he wanted to forget...
Greyson Donahue was on a break. Spending the last decade making poor decisions, a devastating loss sends him headfirst into a wake-up call. To clear his mind, he leaves home and hits the open road for a change in scenery and maybe a sign. When an angel stumbles into his lap, his world is turned right side up. Their meeting ignited something deep inside him that had been snuffed out for too long: hope.
Can a chance encounter stop them both from running?

Once the petite fireball enters his life one night, setting off sparks in the darkest parts of his soul, she won’t leave his mind. Too bad that amazing night also holds some terrible memories. When she left town without a word, he knew he had to do everything in his power to get her back.
A love she had to let go...

Thousands of miles away from the only people who matter to her, the loneliness is taking a toll. But she would have to make a choice soon. Stay away or return home? Then the enigmatic frontman shows up on her doorstep unannounced, and she’s in for a new wave of heartache.
