USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Hughey started writing romance in the fourth grade. That particular story involved a prince and an engagement. Now, she writes about strong heroines who are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves and the heroes who love both their strength and their vulnerability. She pens romances of all types--suspense, paranormal, and contemporary--but at their heart, all her books celebrate the power of love.

She lives in Cape Ann Massachusetts with her fabulously supportive husband and two very skittish rescue kittens.

Beach walks, hiking, and traveling are her favorite ways to pass the time when she isn't plotting new ways to get her characters to fall in love.

Connor Stone has always been odd man out in his family. Not the oldest, not the most charming, he'd had a lock on the youngest until another half-sibling came to live with them, so he raised hell in his youth. Con knows now the only way to redeem himself is with deeds, not words and sets out to prove once and for all he is worthy of the Stone family. When his older brother asks him to take care of business, Con finally will have redemption he craves.

Except when Ava Sanchez, his brother's assistant, is threatened, he must choose between saving the girl or protecting his family. Will his choice bring him love or break his heart?

Riley Stone is the handsome brother, the charming one. Everyone who meets him compares him to his father, which in his mind is not a compliment. But he's never met a woman he couldn't charm, until he meets Di, an acerbic, smart-mouthed, passionate activist who has no time for him or his charm.

On the run, in the midst of danger, the blistering passion they share explodes. Can these two opposites find common ground, or will Di smash Riley's stone heart?

FALLING FOR HER FLYBOY

She's guarded her heart with razor-sharp walls. He's determined to break through them—one seductive smile at a time.

Fiercely independent Keisha Johnson doesn't do vulnerability. Ever. But her traitorous body didn't get the memo when it comes to smoldering hot pilot Shane Washington. The man exudes danger and temptation with every cocky grin, and she's not about to become another notch on his cockpit.

Until their boss sends them UNDERCOVER. TOGETHER.

Now they're playing lovers while fighting an attraction that feels anything but fake. One brush of his fingertips sets her body ablaze. One whispered promise makes her consider surrendering.

But trusting a man who navigates through women like flight plans? Recipe for heartbreak.

As the line between pretense and passion blurs, Keisha must decide if Shane's skilled touch is just another smooth maneuver...

Or if this irresistible flyboy might actually be her perfect landing.

A sizzling romance featuring the GRUMPY-SUNSHINE trope with forced proximity, fake dating that feels too real, and a guaranteed happily ever after that will leave you breathless.

VEGAS FLING. FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION. DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

Ric Santana came to Las Vegas for two things: his best friend's wedding and a break from his high-stakes life. One night of passion with a stunning stranger was exactly what he needed—until that stranger turns out to be his friend's stepmother, Shelley.

Talk about awkward.

But when threats against Shelley escalate from warnings to bullets, Ric's protective instincts roar to life. This former special ops soldier won't hesitate to put himself between danger and the woman who's quickly becoming more than just a forbidden temptation.

As they run from an unseen enemy, the attraction between them ignites into something neither can deny. With danger closing in and secrets unraveling, Ric must make an impossible choice:

Walk away from the most intoxicating connection he's ever known... Or fight with everything he has for a future that might end before it begins.

STONE COLD PROTECTION

Some scars run too deep to ever truly heal...

Former Marine John Pulaski never asked to be a Stone. As the surprise half-brother to the Stone siblings, he's still finding his footing at Stone Consulting. But when two women go missing, this battle-hardened warrior won't rest until they're found.

There's just one complication: his stunning, fiercely intelligent partner who sets his blood on fire.

Former FBI agent Rissa Evans is damaged goods. After a mission gone tragically wrong, she freezes at the first sign of conflict—a fatal flaw in her line of work. But her maddening, irresistibly sexy new partner makes her want to be the woman she was before. The woman who never backed down.

As the case pulls them deeper into a web of abduction and depravity, John and Rissa's unwanted attraction blazes out of control, taking them both by surprise. But time is running out for the missing women, and the demons haunting both their pasts threaten to destroy any chance at redemption—and love.

Two broken souls. One dangerous mission. When protection means risking everything, will they have the courage to surrender their hearts?

He lives by the book. She writes her own rules. Together, they're about to rewrite everything.

Deputy US Marshal Alex Saunders never expected his by-the-book protection detail to include the rule-breaking, adrenaline-junkie Kita Kim. As threats against Federal Judge Robert Adams escalate from poison to kidnapping, these opposites must do more than attract—they must survive.

When Kita becomes a target herself, Alex faces an impossible choice: follow protocol or follow his heart. In the shadows of Washington DC, a conspiracy lurks that will test not just their professional skills, but their growing feelings for each other.

He's done trusting liars.

Former US Marshal Marsh Adams is rebuilding his reputation after a devastating betrayal. The last thing he needs is to be attracted to spirited artist Ayesha Brown, a woman clearly hiding something dangerous.

She can't tell anyone the truth.

Ayesha has two weeks to save her grandfather from a ruthless blackmailer—and becoming a thief is her only option. A sexy, overprotective bodyguard is definitely NOT in her plans.

When an intruder attacks Ayesha, Marsh refuses to walk away. But as their explosive attraction ignites, he discovers her deception goes deeper than he imagined. Now he's torn between his hard-won principles and his desperate need to protect the woman stealing his heart.

Can they overcome their secrets before time runs out? Or will the truth destroy everything they've built?

He was sent to take him down. He never expected to fall for him.

FSB operative Sasha Loblaw has been the perfect soldier—following orders, eliminating targets, never questioning the Kremlin. Until now.

But when his latest mission brings the captivating Viktor Kuznets into his sights, everything changes.

Viktor has secrets of his own, working for a covert witness protection agency while hiding his sexuality from his estranged family. When a shadowy government agent blackmails him into compromising Sasha, Viktor finds himself trapped between duty and desire.

One night of passion changes everything. Suddenly, they're both pawns in a deadly game where trust is a luxury neither can afford. With people dying around them and powerful forces closing in, Sasha and Viktor must choose between the lives they've always known and the love they never expected to find.

In a world of lethal loyalties, their growing connection might be their greatest weapon—or their death sentence.

Sometimes the most dangerous mission isn't the one you're assigned... it's the one that claims your heart.

Going from princess to pauper wasn't exactly the fairy tale ending Penelope Hastings believed in as a kid. She grabs at the opportunity to work at Camp Firefly Falls—home of her most treasured childhood memories and the haven where her spoiled heart expanded, and her perspective changed, after an encounter with an older boy. Now she's hoping that the camp can work its magic one more time and help her craft a new life.

Rags to riches entrepreneur, Diego Ramos, never wanted to see Camp Firefly Falls again—the site of the most hated year in his teenage life as camp counselor, and his most regrettable moment ever. That one clash with an entitled little girl had a profound impact on him, changing the trajectory of his future. So, when his assistant books a corporate retreat at Camp Firefly Falls, he's more than a little unsettled at the irony.

Now, twenty years later, Penelope and Diego are reunited. A second chance at happiness won't come easy when their reversal in fortunes and unexpected sexual attraction complicates everything. Will they be able to work through their regrets and memories, and learn that love is the greatest fortune of all?

He's a billionaire.

Peter Nguyen has achieved everything he ever wanted. So, why isn't he happier? He goes to his high school reunion to show up all the people who didn't give the time of day to the skinny, nerdy boy he'd been. But then, he runs into his old friend Britt.

She can barely pay her bills.

Brittanica Jones watched her future evaporate when she had to leave college after a brutal attack left her mother incapacitated. She hasn't done anything she set out to do, and the only reason she even goes to her high school reunion is to reconnect with her old friend Peter, even though he ghosted her back when she needed him most.

They've got nothing in common...except each other.

When Peter sees Britt again, he realizes how much he misses her. Her acerbic quick wit and \"take no shit\" attitude are a welcome change from people who fawn all over him. When he realizes that he's got the means to help her out, he offers her a temporary job.

However, grown-up Britt inspires sexy thoughts, not friendship thoughts. Their relationship deepens into a romance. Britt's downtrodden heart blossoms with the opportunity to work with Peter and explore their changed relationship. But this interlude has an end date, and when disaster strikes, she's got no choice but to leave.

Can these old high school friends overcome the hurts from the past and find love with each other?

BLOWBACK

She built walls to protect her heart. He's determined to break them down.

Thirteen years of isolation. Thirteen years of looking over her shoulder. After sacrificing everything to keep her sister safe, Jamie Hunt has perfected the art of emotional detachment. Trust is a luxury she can't afford—especially when a covert operation explodes, leaving a trail of bodies and no one to blame but herself.

Former FBI agent Lucas Goodman never backs down from a challenge. When his search for a missing teenager unexpectedly crosses paths with the ice-cold operative who's clearly running from something, he sees beyond her carefully constructed facade to the wounded woman beneath. And what he sees, he wants to protect.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their connection, explosive. But as danger closes in from all sides, Jamie must make an impossible choice—keep Lucas at a distance to protect him or let him in to save her sister. With a deadly conspiracy reaching back sixty years threatening everything they hold dear, the truth becomes their only weapon—if they can survive long enough to uncover it.

DEEP DECEPTION

Her death was just the beginning...

Jordan Ramirez stares at the classified photographs, his heart refusing what his eyes can see. The woman he loves—the woman who owns his soul—couldn't be dead. Staci Grant was the best CIA operative in the field, a ghost who could disappear into the shadows. If anyone could cheat death, it was her.

Now Jordan will break every rule to find the truth. Because if Staci is alive, she's in danger. And he'll move heaven and earth to reach her before her enemies do.

Trust no one. Not even him.

Betrayal has taught Staci Grant the hardest lesson of all: survival means standing alone. After escaping torture that would have broken lesser agents, she's on a mission to uncover who set her up—and why. There's no room for the distraction of the man who still haunts her dreams, not when every shadow could hide another trap.

Their love might be their greatest weapon—or their deadliest vulnerability.

When Jordan finally tracks her down, the walls she's built crumble against the fierce devotion in his eyes. Together, they're pulled into a deadly labyrinth of decades-old secrets, each revelation testing the fragile trust they've rebuilt. With enemies closing in from all sides, Staci and Jordan must face the ultimate question: is their love strong enough to survive the truth—or will uncovering it be the final betrayal that destroys them both?

SECURED HEARTS

He's sworn to protect her. From a distance.

NSA hacker ZEKE HAWTHORNE is walking a razor's edge. Red-badged and under investigation, his career hangs by a thread. His new assignment sounds simple: surveillance only. Keep SUNSHINE SMITH safe—without her knowing. No contact. No connection.

But simple becomes impossible when shadows from Sunshine's past resurface.

Her life was built on secrets and survival.

Thirteen years ago, Sunshine watched her obsessive stepfather destroy her family in a single blood-soaked night. With new identities, she and her mother vanished, always looking over their shoulders. Always waiting.

Now the waiting is over. The danger has found her.

When threats become attacks, rules get broken.

When Sunshine's sanctuary is breached, Zeke can't remain in the shadows. Stepping into the light puts them both in the crosshairs—and exposes secrets on both sides.

Trust doesn't come easily to people who've learned that safety is an illusion. As deadly forces close in from all directions, can two broken souls risk everything to find something they've never believed in?

Love might be their most dangerous mission yet.

SECURED HEARTS—where the deadliest secrets are the ones we keep from each other.

One Silent Night

In the quiet aftermath of their shattered dreams, Nick and Ally Carpenter find themselves strangers wearing the familiar masks of husband and wife. Their once-unbreakable bond—forged through whispered promises and tender hopes—lies in ruins, casualties of years spent chasing the family they desperately wanted but could never have.

The fertility treatments that were supposed to bring life had instead killed something precious between them, leaving nothing but hollow silences and separate beds. Now, months after their separation, they're forced to resurrect the ghosts of their marriage for one last performance.

A dying woman's Christmas wish brings them reluctantly under the same roof again. The familiar scent of Ally's perfume haunts Nick like a beautiful memory he can't escape. The sound of his laugh still sends shivers down her spine, reminding her of everything they've lost.

As snowflakes fall around the family cabin, old wounds reopen and unspoken truths finally surface. But in the stillness of a Christmas Eve spent in forced proximity, something unexpected stirs—a tiny spark of what once was, what could have been.

When an impossible miracle presents itself in the season of hope, Nick and Ally must decide: Is this second chance at love worth fighting for? Or have the scars of their past cut too deep to ever truly heal?

Sometimes the path back to love is found in the silence between heartbeats, in the space where broken dreams make room for new ones. But for Nick and Ally, time is running out to rediscover what they once meant to each other before it's gone forever.

MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET

A hometown son who can't wait to leave. A damaged orphan who needs to stay. Can two broken souls find healing in a town where love's magic transforms even the most guarded hearts?

Drew Decker returns to Snow Creek with walls built around his heart, determined to quickly settle his late mother's affairs and escape the painful memories that haunt every corner of their family home. The last thing he wants is an audience to his grief—especially not from the fiercely loyal woman who witnessed his mother's final moments.

Britney Lamb never knew what belonging meant until Janine Decker and the warm-hearted town of Snow Creek wrapped her in unconditional acceptance. Her promise to help with Janine's belongings is sacred—a final act of devotion to the woman who became her true mother. Not even Janine's cold, distant son will make her break that vow, no matter how his cutting words try to push her away.

As winter blankets Snow Creek in glistening white, these two wounded souls begin unearthing more than just old possessions. Beneath years of hurt and misunderstanding, something unexpected blossoms—a connection neither was looking for. With each shared memory and reluctant smile, the barriers between them slowly melt away.

But can a man determined to leave and a woman desperate to stay find a love worth fighting for? In a town that believes in second chances, perhaps the greatest miracle isn't found under the Christmas tree—but in the healing power of two hearts brave enough to trust again.

One woman's desperate hunt for the truth... One man's guilt-ridden past... Together, they'll uncover secrets worth killing for.

He was her brother's partner. Now he might be her only hope...or her greatest danger.

Mari Johnson knows the CIA is lying about her brother's \"suicide.\"

Every night, he haunts her dreams, begging for justice. When the agency stonewalls her investigation, there's only one person left to turn to—her brother's dangerously attractive partner, Nik Stanley.

Nik can't escape the memory of watching his best friend die. The guilt follows him everywhere. As an operative in the secretive Project Specter, he uses his paranormal abilities to gather intelligence—but he never saw this betrayal coming.

When these two wounded souls collide, their search for answers ignites a passion neither expected. But their investigation has stirred a hornet's nest of powerful enemies willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.

ðŸ”¥ THREE DANGEROUS ATTRACTIONS. THREE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES. THREE UNFORGETTABLE ROMANCES. ðŸ”¥

OPPOSITES ATTRACT meets ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS when a rule-breaking security expert clashes with a by-the-book US Marshal over a stalking case that could destroy them both.

FORCED PROXIMITY meets WORKPLACE ROMANCE when a kidnapping survivor gets snowed in with her player boss—the one man who's always been off-limits.

PROTECTOR ROMANCE meets FORBIDDEN LOVE when an ex-Marshal sworn to never trust again falls for an artist hiding dangerous family secrets.

Three alpha heroes. Three strong heroines. Three chances to prove that love is worth breaking every rule.

STALKED

Opposites attract, unfortunately.

Rule breaker: Kita Kim's badass exterior hides a wounded heart. The private security expert dedicates her days to protecting those who are weaker, and if she has to break a few rules to make sure they're safe, so be it.

Rule Follower: US Marshal, Alex Saunders, always follows the rules—with one exception, and now he's paying the price. He needs a win on this current detail, babysitting a judge with a stalker, so he can get back to federal witness protection. But in the way of his return is a new partner who seems intent on ignoring the rules.

Their red-hot attraction only complicates things...

Kita and Alex strike sparks while competing to see who can solve the mystery of the case first. Eventually they have to compromise and work together to figure out who is behind the escalating threats and how to stop them. This protective detail might just be the death of them--Because their client is keeping secrets that could kill.

HUNTED

Trapped in a snowy cabin + workplace romance + player hero/inexperienced heroine + off limits = Dwayne and Maria in Hunted

There's only one thing worse than seeing your unrequited crush every day at the office...and that's getting trapped with him in a snowy mountain cabin.

Maria Torres has been through hell and back. A former kidnapping victim, she's used to having people handle her with kid gloves, and she is sick of it. Dwayne Lameko, the man of her dreams, is no different.

Dwayne is a total player who keeps his physical encounters to one night only. With the needs of his mother and sisters, he can't handle one more responsibility. He finds his co-worker Maria irresistible, but she is off limits.

When a client requests her presence on an op, Maria believes she's ready to spread her wings and show everyone–especially Dwayne–that she's not as fragile as they think. But danger follows them into the wilderness, and Maria has to prove to herself and Dwayne that she's strong enough to handle anything...even his love.

VANISHED

She's a woman with secrets. He's a man on a mission. When their worlds collide, passion and danger ignite...
