If you’d have told me back in high school that I’d be out on the road with my favorite rock band in the universe, Sweet Agony, I would have called you crazy . . .

When my best friend invites me along to the West Coast leg of their tour, I jump at the chance. Her boyfriend is chief sound engineer for the band, and as a consequence, I’m somehow accepted into the fold.

Sweet Agony may be America’s top band but it’s their lead singer that really seals the deal for me . . . Jay Tyler: over six foot of gorgeous, tattooed, muscular attitude.

Getting more than I bargained for late one night, feelings between me and Jay grow.

I should be the happiest girl in the world. So why do I feel a sense of apprehension? A world famous rock star is bound to have a reputation . . . a history. I have to put all that to the back of my mind. My attraction is just too strong to ignore. Although Jay oozes masculine confidence, I’m sure there’s something softer beneath that hard veneer.

Could I be the first girl and only girl to tame him?

I’m not sure . . .

But I’m going to have fun trying!

Hard Rock Love is a standalone romance novella with no cheating and a happy ending guaranteed.

	Intent
	Lifeless #2
	A. D. Justice
	March 29th 2016

Ace Sharp and Layne Elliott are from completely different walks of life.
Ace is a single dad, doing his best to raise his daughter in his small hometown.
Layne is a career professional, dreaming of the baby she can’t have.

Their hearts are guarded but for different reasons.
Wounded pride rules their decisions and keeps others at a distance.
Devastating betrayal haunts their thoughts, making them question if love even exists.
Broken souls who refuse to give their hearts away again.

But a chance meeting changes everything.

Complete opposites intent not to yield, determined not to feel, but incapable of stopping their destiny. Then the past resurfaces with the intent to ruin everything.

Is learning to love again worth the risk? After all, a life without love isn’t a life worth living.

It has been eight months since Scarlett Moore last saw Kade Evans. After being left hurt and confused she tried to forget about him, but he wasn’t easy to forget. She found herself thinking about him often. Even her best friend Jules did her best to get him off her mind by pushing her toward Bryce, the one person Scarlett was not sure she wanted to be involved with. When a new job opportunity is offered to her and Jules, they jump on it. The idea of starting over again and forgetting the past is enticing to Scarlett even if it moves her to Los Angeles, the same place Kade lives.

Kade Evans’ life revolved around his band, alcohol, drugs, and women…until he met Scarlett. She is the light to his darkness, his beautiful; the one that makes him see what the future might hold. That is, until his past came barreling back into his life, ruining everything. Hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do, but he did what he had to do to protect her. His plan is to find a way out of his new life before he tries to win her heart back. But life has a plan of its own and unexpectedly, Scarlett walks back into his life.

When they meet again, the fire she thought burned out is reignited and the plans he made are rearranged.

Just when things start to fall into place, they all seem to fall apart and the one person they think they can trust turns out to be the one to hurt them the most.

A woman with a plan—and the man who shakes it all up.

Veronica Andersen might not need a man in her life, but in the bedroom . . . well, that’s a different story. With her eye on making partner at her father’s law firm, she doesn’t have time to think about much beyond a fling. So when she can’t get her mind off the hot young thing who walks her dog, Veronica knows exactly what to do.

Brian Walsh isn’t just a dog walker. He’s a former hockey pro who’s rebuilding his life after a career-ending injury on the ice. He’s taking his time and enjoying his current freedom—and the four-legged companionship. If only he could stop fantasizing about the best two legs he’s ever seen. . . .

Brian and Veronica can’t help coming together. Again. And again. Suddenly, Veronica finds herself throwing all her best-laid plans out the window. Could she possibly have fallen in love with a man who’s wrong in every way—except the only one that matters?

This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

A gruff prince in need of a wife
A commoner impersonating a princess
And a bridal competition gone terribly awry…

Gabriel
I am the crown prince of Villroy, heir to a kingdom, bound by duty to marry and produce an heir.
I expected a quiet arrangement through royal channels, instead I got a palace full of women vying for my hand. And how do they “win” this barbaric game set up by my crafty mother? By figuring out how to save the kingdom’s faltering economy through a series of challenges. This undignified circus is beneath a man of my stature! Proof being that a saucy, ill-mannered woman wearing body-hugging clothes is in the lead. I could never love someone like that, let alone marry her.

Anna
The plan sounded simple.
I pose as my friend, pick up her inheritance, and return with the cash to keep her out of jail. (Apparently, being a princess in hiding is no excuse for identity theft.) So, yeah, I’m not exactly royal. I’m an orphan, a self-made woman, and proud of it. Suddenly I’m in a battle royale with a bunch of crazy competitive women for “riches beyond our dreams.” I’m in a time crunch, which means I need to win this competition fast. Only, that means winning over the judge; the smoldering hot grim-faced Gabriel. And now I find myself wanting to compete for more than just the money. But could a royal prince ever fall for a commoner like me?

	Hunter
	The Hastings #1

	December 2019

“We’re not book smart, but street smart.”
Words my brother lives by. Jagger has always been my hero, my protector. He packed up our things one day and took us far away from our abusive, alcoholic father. He knew it was only a matter of time before he killed us.
So we left, and since the very beginning, my brother has done everything to keep me safe. But not even Jagger can keep me away from his best friend.
Hunter has had a rough life like us, and some might say, he’s had it even worse. He’s impulsive, troubled, and has anger issues, but I see the man he is inside. He’s a survivor, and the more we grow closer, the more I know we are meant for each other.
But Hunter is keeping secrets from me…
To make matters worse, our father shows up and our life quickly spirals out of control.
Violence knows no bounds when it comes to this vile man and this time, I am not sure anyone will be able to protect me.

He’s a Special Forces veteran making his pro hockey debut. She’s a dogged sports reporter determined to get a scoop. She’s also his best friend’s widow…

Fans can’t get enough of Levi Hunt, the Special Forces veteran who put his NHL career on hold to serve his country and fight the bad guys. So when his new Chicago Rebels bosses tell him to cooperate with the press on a profile, he’s ready to do his duty. Until he finds out who he has to work with: flame-haired, freckle-splashed, impossibly perky Jordan Cooke.

The woman he should not have kissed the night she buried her husband, Levi’s best friend in the service.

Hockey-stick-up-his-butt-serious Levi Hunt might despise Jordan for reasons she can’t fathom—okay, it’s to do with kissing—but her future in the cutthroat world of sports reporting hangs on delivering the goods on the league’s hottest, grumpiest rookie. So what if he’s not interested in having his life plated up for public consumption. Too bad. Jordan will have to play dirty to get her scoop and even dirtier to get her man. Only in winning the story, she might just lose her heart…

	Of Donuts And Dough
	Sweet Billionaire
	Laila Kelly
	October 19th 2019

What can you say, cake speaks for itself. . .
Aria James is young and beginning a new life for herself while working to open up her own bakery in California. She does everything by the book and has a fool-proof plan to getting there, at least she thinks she does before her best friend Kat needs her to bake the treats for Sarah Wiltshire’s party, she’s hesitant. The opportunity could put both of their businesses on the map, but it wouldn’t be that simple.

Callahan Wiltshire is nothing like the rest of his family. He prefers to use money as an asset and not as an avenue to force others into things. With his feet firmly planted in reality, all he wants is to get through his sister’s 21st birthday party without her creating anymore emotional distress lawsuits for their family, making Aria the only baker in town willing to help them. The more time he spends with Aria, the more he realizes he wants more.

Aria receives a proposition from an unlikely place, and it forces her to make a hard decision: love or the dream she’s had since childhood.

Falling in love is the last thing on either of their minds, but is it too sweet to be true?

When offers they both can’t resist arises, will they take it and run or will fear keep them away?

They say that birthdays are new beginnings, but they never said for who.

If you love a romance that will make you swoon, then you’ll love Of Donuts and Dough. This has all the feels of a clean billionaire romance.

	September 18th 2020

Jaxson Blackwood owned all my firsts…

Two years ago, I allowed tragedy to tear us apart. Overwhelmed by heartache and grief, I ran, leaving everyone I loved behind. Now I’m back, watching my past and present collide. Jaxson is a reminder of everything I lost and all the reasons I forced myself to move on. Even when my happily ever after turns to hell, I can’t go back. I can’t give him what he wants because there’s nothing left of me worth loving.

Madalyn Sterling is the other half of my soul.

If breaking my heart wasn’t bad enough, she came back and shattered the remaining pieces. My attempts to move on fail, leaving me worse off than I was before. Alcohol numbs the pain, turning me into someone I’m not. Madalyn may no longer be mine to love, but it’s impossible to let her go. Especially when I discover her devastating secret. She needs me now more than ever.

If we can forgive our mistakes and accept the past, we can turn our heartbreak into a second chance.

Supernova is the first book in the Stars Align series and can be read as a stand-alone.

One night.
That’s all we had.
That’s all it took.

I woke up the next day with his phone number smeared and illegible.

When I couldn’t find him, I tried to forget. But in that one night he’d crawled so far under my skin, I couldn’t erase him.

Then, he walks back into my life where I least expect him: my job.

He’s just like I remember, except for one detail.
He goes by a different name.
