Liberation Series
A sexy jet-setting player meets a feisty independent South Asian woman in this steamy contemporary interracial romance. What happens when pure attraction collides with family responsibility?
After having written off love, Simran Khan is vacationing in London looking for no-strings-attached fun. It’s not long before she succumbs to the mysterious hunk with an intense, ice-blue stare while club-hopping with friends. After a night full of surprises with global playboy, Marcus Lehigh (and sampling his reputable talents between the sheets), she realizes this could be more than just a fling, but major doubts come into play … little does she know he might feel the same way.
Preferring to keep interactions with women purely physical—and because his jet-setting lifestyle makes it easy to be that player—Marcus Lehigh favors the single life. A not-so-traditional past also makes it hard for him to trust. Something about Simran hooks him after one night, though. A luscious beauty with brains, some attitude, and an unexpected flippancy for his luxurious life has him wanting more than the usual down and dirty fling. When she leaves for NYC, he follows, intrigued by what she has to offer.
From London to NYC, their relationship collides headfirst with Marcus’ notorious player lifestyle and Simran’s strong South Asian roots. Will Simran accept his former life riddled with ugly scandals? Can Marcus compete with her family’s traditional expectations and ingrained cultural heritage?
When all is said and done, life-altering events put their trust to the test. Is love enough to conquer all?
The saga continues in this steamy sequel to Passion’s Liberation, as Simran and Marcus fight their personal issues to fulfill their all-consuming love.
Simran Khan faces an enormous crossroads. Her independent New York life is upended by her family’s expectation to drop everything, be the good Indian daughter, and return to India to placate her demanding father. Adding to her turmoil is that the one man who broke her heart is back in town … for her. She leaves for India to sort out her family business, regardless of her heart’s desires.
Marcus Lehigh is well aware he nearly destroyed the only good thing in his life. A man unaccustomed to love, his feelings for Simran left insecurities that shook him to the core. He let her go, convinced it was best for them both. He was mistaken. If anything, she takes up his entire heart now.
As the clock ticks, and before Simran satisfies her father’s demands to marry the man he’s chosen for her, Marc faces his own immense decision. Does loving someone mean letting them choose their own path? Or can a determined person like him really leave a challenge untouched, especially when it involves the woman he loves?
A race to India to express his true feelings, and right the wrongs he’s committed, will be the deciding factor. Will love liberate them toward true happiness?
The Liberation Series continues with this fun bonus book, where a magical proposal leads
Marcus and Simran down a road to matrimonial bliss.
Finally, after all of the planning (and negotiating), their wedding day is here, and both the bride and groom are feeling the heat, or rather, lack thereof. A big traditional Indian wedding carefully balanced with Western traditions, a stubborn father, and three hundred of their closest family and friends flown
in from around the globe … well, anyone can guess why the two wouldn’t get a moment alone together.
But Marcus and Simran aren’t strangers to breaking tradition. Will they hang on until after the wedding?
Or can they find a way to be together to relieve a little ‘stress’ before officially saying their vows?
Meet Marcus & Simran
Unravelled Duet
How does a chance encounter (one that’s steamy as heck) lead to warring with your inner demons?
Internationally known deviant Bruce Canyon is one smooth bad boy and doesn’t care who knows it. The attention only adds to his sexy nightclub entrepreneur persona, making it good for business. But when he meets Mariam Abbas, a bright, attractive woman who knows what she wants (him, only once), he finds himself out of his league. Sparks snap and crackle, igniting between them as they give in to their carnal needs, and Bruce finds himself in an unfamiliar position: wanting more. To his surprise, he does something un-Bruce-like—he goes out of his way to stake his claim on her.
Mariam Abbas prefers “one and done,” never committing to relationships, or looking back for that matter (despite how mind-numbingly hot the experience was). This might seem cold and a little calculating, but it’s how she manages her neat, orderly life—one she’s carved out for herself after a messy childhood. Nothing can change her mind, not even a man-child who can’t take “no” for an answer, though sexy as sin he may be.
What begins as a game of cat and mouse turns into an unlikely friendship until circumstances push them into each other’s arms. It’s not all hearts and roses, though. Inner demons emerge while dark secrets come out to play, wrecking what brief joy they may have found in one another. They say everyone deserves a second chance. Are Bruce and Mariam deserving of theirs?

From a dreamy Indian wedding on the shores of New Jersey to New York City’s glittering vibrancy, Book 1 is a frenemies-to-lovers, bad boy, snarky female lead, interracial, second-chance, super-duper steamy romance that’ll have you rooting for the characters, even when they misbehave.
Can Bruce and Mariam overcome the obstacles that first tore them apart?
Bruce Canyon is spiraling. Recently seeing the only woman he’s ever had strong feelings for will do that. Mariam was someone he opened up to—made him feel human again, despite his demons and what everyone else saw—an outlandish bad boy bordering on depravity. To cope, he’s returned to his old vices—ones he never sought when with her. He’s not proud of it and familiar self-loathing seeps in. He leaves NYC for the only place he calls home—his houseboat in Santa Barbara. Alone, licking his wounds, he realizes he may never get over her.
Mariam Abbas is miserable. Misjudging the only man she ever trusted—first as a friend, then lover, has that effect. Seeing him again only makes her face how much she misses him. The agony of how they—she—ended things settles bone deep. Was she mistaken? She resolves to make things right between them, certain that it’s the friendship she’s after, not the passion. But chasing a stubborn devil amid self-destruction is agonizing. She chases anyway, determined to meet his anger head-on and correct the wrongs she made.
What follows is a consuming, all too familiar hunger filled with their undeniable feelings. It begs to be asked, are ‘they’ worth revisiting?
But, nothing is ever easy when it comes to these two. Bruce’s aristocratic English family comes knocking, convincing him home to address a long-ignored responsibility. In a twist of fate, he’s pushed to a life-altering decision and must choose between family tradition or his savior—ultimately the love of his life.

From sunny, relaxed California to chilly England and stiff drawing rooms, Book 2 is an interracial, family drama, groveling, protector, knock-your-socks-off steamy romance that’ll keep you on your toes.

Free Fall
It was only supposed to be a little legal advice, and a crash course in the sex department, but what happens when the grumpy lawyer falls for the less-than-experienced-sunny romantic?
Big-shot attorney Aariv Abbas is every woman's dream: hunky as sin, successful, and that man who puts responsibility, and family duty first (the kind of man every South Asian hopes their son becomes when they grow up). Too bad he's such a grumpy asshole with a one-track mind. And thank God he's only in the market for an Indian wife.
Chrissy Smyth is young, brash, full of hopes, and a head-in-the-clouds dreamer, but a chance encounter with a grumpy lawyer has her realizing that romance isn't for everyone. And she doesn't need to waste her time with nonbelievers like him, no matter how hot or big his … biceps may be.
But when her life takes a major misstep and her family's business gets pulled into a serious Russian crime ring, what's a girl to do but look to the only attorney she knows for advice, Grumpenhunk and all?
And how's the good Indian son supposed to behave when his attraction for a woman who ticks none of the boxes on his life list becomes unmanageable?
A grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, slight age gap, cultural differences, and ultra steamy romance that will make you laugh, cry, want to punch a pillow, and then do a happy dance.
