One year of post-doctorate research separates me from the career that will get me the heck out of Rhode Island and away from my obtrusive parents.
I expected Dr. Greyson Bedford, a sexy British professor from Oxford University, to upend life on campus, but I didn’t expect him to do the same with my heart.
Despite his persistence, I keep to myself, but when a migraine strikes at work and I have no one else to turn to, he gives me something unexpected: a connection I haven’t felt in years. His touch opens a conduit to my past and the accident that almost robbed me of my dreams.
I swore I’d never let anything get in my way again, especially a brash heartthrob who will return to England at the end of the school year.
I had a plan. Not the best laid plan, but one semester with him changes everything.
Limey Bastard is a standalone story inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s British Bedmate with appearances from Simon, Bridget, and family.

In THE LAST LOVE OF LUKA HALE, uncover what happened in the shadows to the forgotten twin of an NFL legend the night their lives changed forever. Luka Hale loved hard, he laughed harder, but only Gia Jilani knew his secrets. She’s kept them for nearly twenty years. Now she’s returning to New Orleans and to the past that waits for her.
In ROUGHING THE KICKER, Gia Jilani introduces the world to Reese Noble, the NFL’s first female kicker and her new star on the New Orleans Steamers. But will Reese’s own past with quarterback Ryder Glenn threaten their season and the future of their team?
In OFFSIDES, Gia Jilani comes face-to-face with a memory she can’t shake and the temptation she finds among her players—one that seems all too familiar. But when Gia discovers why Kai Pukui, the linebacker helping her team dominate on the field, seems so familiar and why she feels so drawn to him, Gia will have to decide what’s more important — a life worth risking or a love worth losing.
“You know what it does to me when you play the tease.”
She nodded, sucking on her bottom lip when Ryder lowered the strap to her bra, nibbling at her shoulder, then the back of her neck as he unfastened the hooks.
“You want me to do things to you?” he asked, smile lethal when she only nodded again. “Good. I wanna do so many things to you.”
“Then do them, papi,” she said, her voice sounding low, desperate and it would be. Ryder answered her with a groan that sounded like a plea, something he did when Reese had turned him on so completely he became nothing more than ache and need and endless desire.
He slipped his hands further down, behind her silk thong to cup her, his eyes slamming shut when he felt her there, wet and warm and ready for him to do a little teasing of his own. But Ryder didn’t seem eager for that.
“Turn around. Now,” he said, pushing Reese onto the counter as he lowered over her, grabbing his hard dick, stroking it like he was ready and couldn’t stand not being inside her for another second.
They went at each other in the quick flash of movement, mouths claiming, touching, taking until there was only taste and greedy possession. Ryder cupped Reese’s ass, shifting her closer and pushed himself inside in one quick sliding gesture. They both hissed at the contact, then set to working each other fierce and full and so sweet that within minutes, Reese cried out, aware that as she climaxed Ryder watched her, feeling his hand on her neck, his sweet touch over her cheek.
He went on kissing her, picking her up to slip her legs around his waist and Ryder turned them, walking into the hot shower, attacking her mouth as he leaned Reese against the tiles, lifting her enough to work her faster, harder.
“I fucking love you,” he said, the words coming out in an awed, groaning whoosh of air as Ryder spilled himself inside her. It took several minutes for him to recover, and he didn’t move, kissing her shoulder, over the tops of her breasts as they both came down from their release. Reese felt boneless as Ryder held her, his breath slowing, calming as he continued to hold her.
The water covered them, Reese’s professionally coiffed hair lost in the manic rush to be with Ryder and for him to have her inside the shower. She knew why he wanted her there, under the spray on that night.
“Do you remember?” he asked, kissing up her neck, his voice low and breathy.
There was a twitching movement at the corner of his mouth before Ryder smiled. “Eleven years ago today,” she breathed, her body, her expressions feeling a little lazy as he moved back to look her in the eyes. “The Duke locker room.” Reese tilted her head, waiting because she knew he wanted to hear everything. “The first time we were together.”
Ryder nodded, wiping a droplet of water from her face. “The day I felt alive for the first time in my life.”
She stilled his hand, frowning at his confession. “Because we were together?”
Ryder held Reese’s face, keeping her still long enough for her to make out the way his eyes had lightened, how clear and focused his attention went as he watched her face, looking like he wasn’t sure if she was worried or just curious. Ryder clarified, smoothing his thumb over her lips. “Because you told me you loved me.”
