Cal (Secrets and Lies Book 1) by BJ Alpha

A Second-chance romance, a secret baby, a jealous/possessive hero with steamy sex scenes.
Be prepared to be taken on a journey of Secrets and Lies.

Cal
Cal knew her only as Carmen, the little hottie from a night of passion in Vegas, the love of my life!
Fifteen years later after tracking down a cyber thief who has stolen millions from me and my family, I’m holding a gun to her head thanks to her dumb-ass son! Only he’s not just her son… secrets are exposed and just when I think things can’t get any worse? The Cartel are after them.

Lily
My teenage son leaves a trail of destruction in his wake, the latest, stealing millions from a Mafia family. Cal the sexy man from my past comes barreling back into my life, as if it isn’t chaotic enough, he’s holding a gun to my head.
My ex-lover is now my saviour, only I’m not sure he can handle the number of secrets and chaotic baggage we bring.

Totally Booked UK review: Receiving a ‘BLACKBIRD’ text from her 14-year-old son, Reece, has Lily wondering what has happened now. Thankful in many ways for her autistic son for putting protocols in place that she blindly follows. Making her way into the apartment she finds Reece tied to his chair with two men focused on him. Whilst trying to work out what happened, a third man enters and she is taken aback to find it is Cal – the man she met in Las Vegas and father to Reece.

With money disappearing from family member’s accounts Cal O’Connell is pleased that Oscar appears to have it under control. A trip to Phoenix to catch the cyber thief should have been straightforward, however, he is stunned to find the woman he searched for and her son – his son! Discovering that Reece is a genius with IT, led Cal and his brothers to him as they needed help with an ongoing issue with the Cartel. Bringing them home he needs to get out of the arranged marriage his father has thrust on him.

For 14 years Lily has brought up Reece by herself, understanding his neurodivergent ways and putting up with his hair-brain schemes of hacking, stealing cargo and teaching those who wrong his mom a lesson. Cal is desperate to discover what has happened over the years he has missed out on with Reece. His relationship with Lily sparks as they rediscover the love they felt all those years ago. But they are going to need some help with a bimbo fiance and a pissed-off Cartel.

I can’t let him get close. There’s too much at risk. Too many secrets and lies to be revealed.

A Mafia romance, stalker romance, with steamy sex scenes and a jealous/possessive hero.
Be prepared to be taken on a journey of Secrets and Lies.

Oscar
There’s a reason I use the service I use to have a woman. I can be select; I can choose exactly what I want when I want it.
What I didn’t choose was the curvy redhead standing in my kitchen, rolling her eyes at my use of an instruction manual.
She’s about to learn there’s a good reason for that manual, and I’m about to teach her that everything in it is for her own good.
What I didn’t expect was for her to teach me.
That everything in that manual is obsolete because all I will ever really need is her.

Paige
Oscar O’Connell is hot as hell, dark as sin, and obsessive enough to drive anyone to insanity.
A simple job to earn quick money turns into me falling in love with a man determined never to feel.
But when I finally start to break down his carefully structured walls, the secrets start coming out, and everyone knows there’s a fine line between secrets and lies; I only hope we haven’t destroyed everything we’ve created.

Totally Booked UK review: From a young age Oscar O’Connell knew that he was different. Different from his brothers and his families lifestyle, thankfully his ma was there to battle against those including his da who wanted to put him in an institution etc. As he got older his autism allowed him to hone his flair for technology and now covers the security side of his mafia family. Thise around him have understood his ways and his dislike of being touched. However, watching eachof his brothers find love he doesn’t think he is capable of that.

Moving in with her sister and her children six months ago to help her sister’s recovery from an accident, trainee vet Paige is helping with the bills. Taking on an extra job at Indulgence she replaces Oscar’s usual escort and is very different from the submissive he expects. Challenging him outside of the bedroom whilst understanding that his has boundaries and limitations.

Whilst Oscar believes that he is unable to care or love another person he does little things for Paige which melt her heart. From purchasing a coffee machine, grabbing groceries for her sister and saving fish, it is these little gestures that have her falling in love with him. Although she longs to be able to hold Oscar, he is trying hard to work past his touching boundaries to discover that with Paige things are different. But as feelings get too much he pushes her away – has he pushed her too far to get back?

Totally Booked UK review: Four years ago Tate Kavanagh was attending a party thrown by his adoptive parents. Casting his eyes around the party at the socialites and acquaintances that always attend until his eyes fall on a beauty in a red dress and matching red lips. Spending an unbelievable night with her until he is about to sit down for breakfast and introduced to the foster children staying with his parents for the summer – which include Ava, the beauty from the party who just celebrated her 18th birthday.

The summer of fun Ava had with Tate is one of the things that has helped her get through the last few years. Enduring so much to gain custody of her younger brother Todd.

But Ava has endured some difficult things in their time apart which has Tate regretting walking away from her all over again.

Office Infatuation (STORM Enterprises Book 2.5) by BJ Alpha

A short story, based on an office romance within the company Flawless, previously mentioned in Tate: STORM Enterprises Series.
*Previously published in the RARELondon23 Anthology.

Libby hates her womanising boss, but can she hate him forever?

Totally Booked UK review: Wiping down the wall in Sean Anderson’s office, Libby can’t help but wonder why he can’t sleep with women in a bed rather than in his office. She used to only clean his office occasionally, however, for the past 5 months it has been on her regular schedule. Frequently interacts with the insanely hot billionaire as she cleans his attached bathroom around him working.

There is something about Libby that awakens Sean’s urges, however, after seeing his father work his way through the staff members he isn’t about to sleep with his cleaner – no matter how much he would like to. He looks forward to their quick interactions and her snide remarks about his sex life. Switching to using condoms to masturbate after she had commented that he was going through a lot of Kleenex.

An accident leaves Sean in the emergency room and he’s a little surprised to find Libby walking into his room to assess his injuries. Dr Libby Quincy has student debts to pay off so works as a cleaner to top up her earnings. Sean is unable to understand the two halves of Libby’s life but realises that he’s able to finally act on his desires for her.
