Kiss Me Tonight (Put A Ring On It Book 2) Apr 30, 2019

by Maria Luis

( 300 )

$4.99

★ A TOP 50 AMAZON BESTSELLER ★

I had it all.
The Super Bowl rings.
The hot shot TV gig.

Then I got fired.

Now I’m living in middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares.

Did I mention that she and her son are my new neighbors?

If you talk to the locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football.
But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac.

She’s too blonde.
Too peppy.
And way too sexy for my peace of mind.

Only, one minute we’re fighting, and the next I can’t keep my hands off her. One hot kiss. One forbidden touch. I don’t do love but . . .

What I want, I take, and what I want is Aspen Levi.

KISS ME TONIGHT is a steamy slow burn romance. It's the second book in the highly anticipated series, Put A Ring On It, and can be read as a standalone.

Sound of Madness: An Enemies To Lovers Royal Romance (Broken Crown Book 2) Dec 3, 2020

by Maria Luis

( 131 )

$4.99

He is my ruin.
My complete and utter devastation.

Loyalty or death.
I make my choice in a palace of flames, and wake to total darkness . . .

And at his mercy.

Calloused hands bring hell to my door and his velvet voice spews only poison.

“A traitor to the queen,” he calls me, and though I don’t know his name, it’s clear that he’s no Prince Charming.

Monster.
Villain.
A man who demands that I take it all—and submit.

But no one will ever mistake me for a damsel in distress.

He wants me on my knees, but it won’t be me who breaks.

Only, falling for the most hated man in England was not the plan.

If war is hell, then love is carnage, and the blood that’s spilled belongs to us both.

Author's Note: Intrigue. Grit. Soul-wrenching love. Sound of Madness is not your average royal romance, and is the second book in the highly anticipated Broken Crown series. It cannot be read before Road To Fire.

Road To Fire: A Dark Royal Romance (Broken Crown Book 1) Apr 28, 2020

by Maria Luis

( 242 )

$4.99

"I'm not scared of you."
He meets my gaze. "You should be."

All of England knows his name.

Saxon Priest.
Savage. Ruthless.
A man bent on all-out destruction.

His target? The royal family.

I’m not looking for a knight in shining armor when I approach him for a job—but I never anticipated how my heart might quicken when faced with London’s most notorious killer.

His eyes are cold.
His mouth scarred and sneering when he dismisses me as fragile, weak.

He couldn’t be more wrong.

I have blood on my hands and hate in my heart—just like him.

But with England on the brink of war, Saxon is my last hope. And when he risks everything to save me, I succumb to the ice in his veins and the blistering heat that tethers us together.

He may be the devil in disguise but I’m Isla Quinn, and I killed the king.

Road To Fire is the first book in the Broken Crown series. Intrigue. Grit. Soul-wrenching love. This is not your average royal romance. Enter if you dare.

Rock bottom has never felt so good.

At least, that’s what I tell myself when I bargain with the enemy and score a renovation for my hair salon.

He’s got a body and face the Greek gods would envy but his personality needs a major overhaul.

He’s surly.
A rule-follower.
Did I mention he’s seen me n*ked?

I may have crushed on him for years, but the only place I want Nick swinging his hammer nowadays is at my salon.

Except, he needs something in return. . .

A fake girlfriend.

And I’m just reckless enough to say yes.

$4.99

★ A TOP 45 AMAZON BESTSELLER ★

They call her America’s Sweetheart.
And me? I’m the so-called “inked god” she dumped on TV.

I’ve tried to forget her. I’ve tried to move on.

Until I discover that her family is opening a new restaurant next to my tattoo parlor.

If I were a gentleman, I’d offer my congratulations and go my own way.
If I were a gentleman, I’d let her be . . . but I’m not.

Savannah Rose may claim I’m nothing more than a friend, but that slight hitch in her breath whenever I get too close says that America’s sweetheart is nothing but a liar.

All it takes is one scorching kiss, and I vow in her ear: “You’re going to beg. Beg me to touch you, beg me to give you more, and if you’re real good, maybe I’ll do it all over again before you have to beg for that too.”

I’m no gentleman.
But Savannah Rose? She’s no one’s sweetheart but mine.

LOVE ME TOMORROW is a steamy slow burn romance with a splash of the forbidden. It's the third and final book in the highly anticipated series, Put A Ring On It, and can be read as a standalone.

The NHL’s most charming player is ready to score a hat trick on and off the ice...

As the star forward for the Boston Blades, I’ve earned a reputation for no-strings attached hookups and a mean slapshot that has all the ladies purring -- but it’s never been the one woman I want to see all fired up and ready to score.

Boston’s own Ice Queen Gwen James has had my emotions all tangled up for years. I’ve played the games. I’ve sat on the sidelines.

No matter her reasons, I’m done being benched.

When she approaches me for a second chance, I accept on one condition: she’s got to prove she’s all in.
