It's the question I've been asking myself ever since my stepbrother shut me and his best friend out of his life.
I always thought the three of us would end up together. Instead, we lost him.
So I asked the question. Whatever happened to Cole Smith?
I never thought the whole world would start looking.
The Order of Disorder is behind her, the life Max survived reduced to aftermath and reckoning. But what comes next…is complicated.
Ryder, Wyatt, Damian, and Jake. Each man is a protector, a confidant, and a temptation. Together, they’re her sanctuary.
With the O.D. in ruins, the man behind it steps back into the light, with clean hands, a perfectly polished smile, and every loose end neatly cut.
Except Max is a loose end.
Reckoning with her own trauma, she has to learn what safety feels like when it isn’t conditional—while the five of them negotiate desire, loyalty, and possession without tearing apart the fragile balance they’re building.
And when the past begins to surface, the man who thought he’d stacked the deck learns just how fast a house of cards can fall.
Dragged back to hell.
Maxwell Finch thought she’d left the chaos of her past behind when she found refuge with Ryder, Wyatt, Jake, and Damian. But her freedom shatters the night Billy’s men drag her back to the Order of Disorder—the O.D.—where she’s collared, degraded, and pulled into a spiral of humiliation, control, and paranoia.
To survive, Max retreats into silence. She lets the club use her body while she disappears inside herself. When two intoxicating strangers offer her a taste of escape, she clings to it...until pleasure blurs with poison, and their refuge drags her deeper into ruin.
And then, in the unlikeliest of places, she discovers a tether to the sanctuary she lost—bound inside this nightmare with her. What begins as shock and suspicion transforms into intimacy, and the promise of comfort in the middle of hell.
But inside the O.D. clubhouse, surveillance is constant and power is shifting. As Max spirals deeper into darkness, she must cling to the one connection strong enough to pull her through—if she doesn’t break first.
Four men bound by loyalty.
One will protect her. One will awaken her. One will possess her. And one will bleed for her.
When Maxwell Finch runs from the outlaw motorcycle club that claimed six years of her life, she finds refuge with four men forged in blood and war—a brotherhood bound by unshakable loyalty to each other.
Wyatt Marshall, solid as bedrock, becomes the quiet anchor she never knew she needed.
Jake Preston, all charm, wins her trust one stolen night at a time.
Damian Voss, whose playful smirk masks his simmering intensity, tempts her into breaking every rule she’s set for herself.
And Ryder Beckett, the brooding commander she can’t stop watching, keeps his distance—until the slow burn between them ignites, threatening to burn everything down, including the bonds between the men themselves.
Maxwell’s been in enough homes to know nothing good lasts. She tells herself she’s ready to be left behind when they decide she doesn’t belong. But desire is a dangerous thing—and so is the past stalking her. The club hasn’t forgotten her.
And neither has the man she left behind.
Zoë thinks she has her life figured out. Ballet by day, stripping by night, and a great boyfriend… Well, a good boyfriend, other than two small problems: he’d rather look at his computer than at her, and he hates her job.
But nothing can make exhibitionist Zoë quit stripping. The rush of performing and the thrill of being seen almost make up for the lack of passion in her relationship.
When passion sparks at work, though—with a sexy older man—Zoë is forced to confront the reality of her life. Especially when she discovers the shocking truth…
That sexy older man is her boyfriend’s father.
Nick has one goal: to mend things with his son. He moved home and bought a house big enough for both of them, hoping it would bring them closer. But Tate moving his girlfriend in without asking? That’s just crossing the line.
Or at least, that’s what Nick thinks until he meets his son’s mysterious girlfriend, and discovers that the person who crossed the line… is him.
Thrown together, Nick and Zoë must navigate the thin line between temptation and betrayal, until they discover that fate has a way of making their forbidden connection impossible to ignore.
When her mother abandons her, Danica Holland doesn’t want to reach out to her ex-stepfather for help–even though he’s always been the one and only parent she could rely on. But when Social Services intervenes on her behalf, he rushes in with open arms…and broad shoulders, that muscular chest, and the cleft in his chin that drives women wild.
For Danica, life with Jean-Luc Rochat was always safe and secure. But after a year apart and a lot of growing up, things don’t feel so straightforward anymore. Nothing between father and daughter feels like it used to. In fact, they don’t feel like father and daughter at all.
Jean-Luc can’t keep his eyes off his little girl, so like her mother before the drugs and the cheating. And Danica’s learning that she can’t settle for anything less than the one man she truly loves–even if he is off-limits.
On the run. Fleeing a violent boyfriend, Hannah has nowhere to go and no one to turn to. When her car breaks down in the tiny town of Haven, Hannah is forced to rely on the kindness of strangers… three tall, strong, and very sexy strangers…
Love has always hurt in Hannah’s world, but when things heat up with loveable Luke, moody Micah, and stern Sean, Hannah can’t deny that what she feels is more than skin deep.
His family comes first. Sean, a career criminal, has been trying to build an honest life for himself and his boys for decades. They’re right on the cusp of retirement when a young woman out of options lands on their doorstep, with trouble in hot pursuit.
He shouldn’t want her. He’s the dad. But just like his sons, he can’t resist her, and soon all three of them will learn they’ll do anything to keep her.

My stepbrother Cole and his best friend Xander have tormented and teased me for years, but last summer things changed between us.
I should have known better than to let myself fall in love with Cole; to let him take advantage of me, to be vulnerable to him.
Now that we're all back home for another summer, I've promised myself I won't let him get to me. Him or Xander. But it turns out that this is the summer that changes everything -- our family, my future, and the three of us.
The truth is, we were all set on this path long ago. What happens between Cole and Xander and I has always been inevitable.
♥ Inevitable is an MMF menage romance. It is the sequel to Stepbully, but can be read as a stand-alone. ♥

He only teases you because he likes you, says my mother.
But even if that were true, we’d still be off-limits to each other.
Cole is my stepbrother.
He and his best friend Xander won’t leave me alone. They never take their eyes off me, and they’re always picking on me, pushing my boundaries further and further, until all three of us end up in uncharted territory.
