The Maligned Collection

Continue your Life Shocks Romances journey through the alphabet of love with Maligned, Nurtured, Owned, and Prized.

MALIGNED
Tom Lancaster, a single father not looking for a relationship, is reluctantly roped into investigating an escort responsible for wrecking his sister's marriage, but instead of a sly and seductive siren, he meets the pretty girl-next-door.
Sheridan is an aspiring college graduate and influential fashion blogger. She also has secrets—shameful secrets, precious secrets—and a past that could shatter her carefree present and promising future.
When Tom discovers Sheridan's secrets, will he trust only the facts he can see, hear, and touch, or will he be the first and only man to accept her for anything and everything she is?
NURTURED
High-flying corporate lawyer, Nicole Lefton, does not have any space or time in her life for distractions, but a car accident saddles her with the unexpected company of a large dog and the attentions of a handsome vet.
She refuses to allow her casual fling with Dr. Rico Vargas to blossom into something deeper, but Rico wears down her formidable emotional defenses with his wit and his gentleness.
Nicole is on the cusp of saying yes to love when a crisis in Rico's family awakens the trauma of Nicole's past and shatters her growing trust in Rico. Will the fragile foundations of their love survive the lingering shadows of Nicole's broken childhood?
OWNED
Marie Vargas had always believed that her love for Phil Casteen was meant to last forever, but that was before he divorced her. Not even winning a $1,000,000 lottery fills the emptiness in her life. Eager for a new beginning, she takes a long-awaited Key West vacation, but Phil is already there, and he's carved a new life for himself—a life that would be even better if he got his hands on his share of her winnings.
Vulnerable and still in love, Marie is easy prey, but what does Phil really want from her? Will their unexpected reunion offer Marie the emotional closure she needs, reopen wounds that haven't fully healed, or shatter her heart beyond repair?
PRIZED
Rio Loren, scion of the jet-setting Loren family, is too elegant and civilized for revenge. All he wants from his erstwhile girlfriend, Cixi, is the blue diamond pendant she stole from him, even if he has to personally hunt her down and snatch it out of her thieving, faithless hands.
Cixi, the street-waif-turned-supermodel, is too busy fending off dozens of admirers to pander to the wounded egos of former boyfriends. Unless, of course, that boyfriend happens to own the diamond ring and earrings that complement her blue diamond pendant, the prize of her jewelry collection.
The precious gems, however, are the lowest stakes in a game of wits, which rapidly escalates into a battle to stay alive, for Cixi is more than a feel-good Cinderella story, and Rio is more than a spoiled billionaire's son. When the facades crumble and layers peel back, when nothing is left between them except the raw, ugly truth of mutual betrayal, will they survive?
