About the Author

  Like all her books, S.J. Tilly resides in the glorious state of Minnesota, where she was born and raised. To avoid the freezing cold winters, S.J. enjoys burying her head in books, whether to read them or write them or listen to them.

  When she’s not busy writing her contemporary smut, she can be found

  lounging with her husband and their herd of rescue boxers. And when the weather

  permits, she loves putting her compost to use in the garden, pretending to know

  what she’s doing. The neighbors may not like the flowery mayhem of her yard

  but the bees sure do. And really, that’s more important.

  Alliance Series

  Dark Mafia Romance

  NERO

  Payton

  Running away from home at 17 wasn’t easy. Let’s face it though, nothing before, or in the ten years since, has ever been easy for me.

  And I’m doing okay. Sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people’s way, off people’s minds.

  So when a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared. Frightened. Terrified.

  But I must be more broken than I realized, because I’m none of those things.

  I’m intrigued.

  And I’m wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

  Nero

  The first time I took a man’s life, I knew there’d be no going back. No normal existence in the cards for me.

  So instead of walking away, I climbed a mountain of bodies and created my own destiny. By forming The Alliance.

  And I was fine with that. Content enough to carry on.

  Until I stepped through those open doors and into her life.

  I should’ve walked away. Should’ve gone right back out the door I came through. But I didn’t.

  And now her life is in danger.

  But that’s the thing about being a bad man. I’ll happily paint the streets red to protect what’s mine.

  And Payton is mine. Whether she knows it or not.

  KING

  Okay, so, my bad for assuming the guy I was going on a date with wasn’t married. And my bad for taking him to a friend’s house for dinner, only to find out my friend is also friends with his wife. Because, in fact, he is married. And she happens to be at my friend’s house because her husband was busy working.

  Confused? So am I.

  Unsurprisingly, my date’s

  wife is super angry about finding out that her husband is a cheating asshole.

  Girl, I get it.

  Then, to make matters

  more convoluted, there is the man sitting next to my date’s wife. A man named

  King, who is apparently her brother, and who lives up to his name.

  And since my date

  is a two-timing prick, I’m not going to feel bad about drooling over King,

  especially since I’ll never see him again.

  Or at least I don’t plan to.

  I plan to take an Uber to

  the cheater’s apartment to get my car keys.

  I plan for it to be quick.

  And if I had to list a

  thousand possible outcomes… witnessing my date’s murder, being kidnapped by his

  killer, and then being forced to marry the super attractive but clearly

  deranged crime lord, would not have been on my Bingo card.

  But alas, here I am.

  Sin Series

  Romantic Suspense

  Mr. Sin

  I should have run the other way. Paid my tab and gone back to my room. But he was there. And he was… everything. I figured what’s the harm in letting passion rule my decisions for one night? So what if he looks like the Devil in a suit. I’d be leaving in the morning. Flying home, back to my pleasant but predictable life. I’d never see him again.

  Except I do. In the last place I expected. And now everything I’ve worked so hard for is in jeopardy.

  We can’t stop what we’ve started, but this is bigger than the two of us.

  And when his past comes back to haunt him, love might not be enough to save me.

  Sin Too

  Beth

  It started with tragedy.

  And secrets.

  Hidden truths that refused to stay buried have come out to chase me. Now I’m on the run, living under a blanket of constant fear, pretending to be someone I’m not. And if I’m not really me, how am I supposed to know what’s real?

  Angelo

  Watch the girl.

  It was supposed to be a simple assignment. But like everything else in this family, there’s nothing simple about it. Not my task. Not her fake name. And not my feelings for her.

  But Beth is mine now.

  So when the monsters from her past come out to play, they’ll have to get through me first.

  Miss Sin

  I’m so sick of watching the world spin by. Of letting people think I’m plain and boring, too afraid to just be myself.

  Then I see him.

  John.

  He’s strength and fury, and unapologetic.

  He’s everything I want. And everything I wish I was.

  He won’t want me, but that doesn’t matter. The sight of him is all the inspiration I need to finally shatter this glass house I’ve built around myself.

  Only he does want me. And when our worlds collide, details we can’t see become tangled, twisting together, ensnaring us in an invisible trap.

  When it all goes wrong, I don’t know if I’ll be able to break free of the chains binding us, or if I’ll suffocate in the process.

  Sleet Series

  Hockey Romantic Comedy

  Sleet Kitten

  There are a few things that life doesn’t prepare you for. Like what to do when a super-hot guy catches you sneaking around in his basement. Or what to do when a mysterious package shows up with tickets to a hockey game, because apparently, he’s a professional athlete. Or how to handle it when you get to the game and realize he’s freaking famous since half of the 20,000 people in the stands are wearing his jersey.

  I thought I was a well-adjusted adult, reasonably prepared for life. But one date with Jackson Wilder, a viral video, and a “I didn’t know she was your mom” incident, and I’m suddenly questioning everything I thought I knew.

  But he’s fun. And great. And I think I might be falling for him. But I don’t know if he’s falling for me too, or if he’s as much of a player off the ice as on.

  Sleet Sugar

  My friends have convinced me. No more hockey players.

  With a dad who is the head coach for the Minnesota Sleet, it seemed like an easy decision.

  My friends have also convinced me that the best way to boost my fragile self-esteem is through a one-night stand.

  A dating app. A hotel bar. A sexy-as-hell man, who’s sweet, and funny, and did I mention, sexy-as-hell… I fortified my courage and invited myself up to his room.

  Assumptions. There’s a rule about them.

  I assumed he was passing through town. I assumed he was a businessman, or maybe an investor, or accountant, or literally anything other than a professional hockey player. I assumed I’d never see him again.

  I assumed wrong.

  Sleet Banshee

  Mother-freaking hockey players. My friends found their happily-ever-afters with a couple of sweet, doting, over-the-top in-love athletes. They got nicknames like Kitten and Sugar. But me? I got stuck with a dickhead who riles me up on purpose and calls me Banshee. Yeah, he might have a voice made specifically for wet dreams. And he might have a body and face carved by the gods. And he might have a level of Alpha-hole that gets me all hot and bothered.

  But when he presses my buttons, he presses ALL of my buttons. And I’m not the type of girl who takes things sitting down. And I only got caught on my knees that one time. In the museum.

  But when one of my decisions gets one of my friends hurt… I can’t stop blaming myself. And him.

  Except he can’t take a hint. And I can’t keep my panties on.

  Darling Series

  Contemporary Small Town Romance

  Smoky Darling

  Elouise

  I fell in love with Beckett when I was seven.

  He broke my heart when I was fifteen.

  When I was eighteen, I promised myself I’d forget about him.

  And I did. For a dozen years.

  But now he’s back home. Here. In Darling Lake. And I don’t know if I should give in to the temptation swirling between us or run the other way.

  Beckett

  She had a crush on me when she was a kid. But she was my brother’s best friend’s little sister. I didn’t see her like that. And even if I had, she was too young. Our age difference was too great.

  But now I’m back home. And she’s here. And she’s all the way grown up.

  It wouldn’t have worked back then. But I’ll be damned if I won’t get a taste of her now.

  Latte Darling

  I have a nice life—living in my hometown, owning the coffee shop I’ve worked at since I was 16.

  It’s comfortable.

  On paper.

  But I’m tired of doing everything by myself. Tired of being in charge of every decision in my life.

  I want someone to lean on. Someone to spend time with. Sit with. Hug.

  And I really don’t want to go to my best friend’s wedding alone.

  So, I signed up for a dating app and agreed to meet with the first guy that messaged me.

  And now here I am, at the bar.

  Only it’s not my date that just sat down in the chair across from me. It’s his dad.

  And holy hell, he’s the definition of Silver Fox. If a Silver Fox can be thick as a house, have piercing blue eyes and tattoos from his neck down to his fingertips.

  He’s giving me Big Bad Wolf vibes. Only instead of running, I’m blushing. And he looks like he might just want to eat me whole.

  Tilly World Holiday Novellas

  Second Bite

  When a holiday baking competition goes incredibly wrong. Or right…

  Michael -

  I’m starting to think I’ve been doing this for too long. The screaming fans. The constant media attention. The fat paychecks. None of it brings me the happiness I yearn for.

  Yet here I am. Another year. Another holiday special. Another Christmas spent alone in a hotel room.

  But then the lights go up. And I see her.

  Alice -

  It’s an honor to be a contestant, I know that. But right now, it feels a little like punishment. Because any second, Chef Michael Kesso, the man I’ve been in love with for years, the man who doesn’t even know I exist, is going to walk onto the set, and it will be a miracle if I don’t pass out at the sight of him.

  But the time for doubts is over. Because Second Bite is about to start - “in three… two… one…”
