Sweet Temptation is Live in Audio!
Narrated by: Andi Arndt & Tor Thom
From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a brother's best friend, bad boy/good girl, football romance.
Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way.
My brother’s best friend and Philly’s favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.
Until I did. . .
And now I can’t stop.
I’m selfish enough to crave him—his kiss, his body, his heart—even when I know I’ll leave it shattered in the end.
But this can’t happen.
We can’t happen.
I won’t let us.
Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won’t last forever. . .
Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn’t the villain.
I am.

Sweet Addiction Cover Reveal!
Releasing: December 4, 2025
Cover Designer: Books and Moods
Photographer: Michelle Lancaster
Model: Chad Hurst
Rome Beneventi is a walking, talking bad decision—six feet, five inches of tattoos, temptation, and trouble wrapped in a smirk and dipped in sin. This MMA champion should come with a warning label . . . or at the very least a disclaimer.
I sell books, and he breaks bones.
We are not on the same page.
At least not until he discovers my secret and instead of keeping it, blackmails me into fake dating him.
Now I’m living in his house.
Lying to my family and friends.
Playing nice for the cameras.
And trying not to melt every time he calls me “baby” like it’s more than a show.
I told myself I’d never fall for him.
That I was too smart to love the devil in designer clothes.
But the thing about enemies?
Sometimes they’re the only ones who see you clearly.
And faking it with Rome Beneventi?
Yeah . . . it stopped feeling fake a long time ago.

Mistletoe Meet Cute is Available Now!
From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad/nanny, grumpy grinch/sunshine, holiday romance.
Falling for my brother’s teammate wasn’t on my Christmas list.
Neither was working for him, but here I am—nannying for Camden Monroe, Philly’s star quarterback, single dad, and the grumpiest grinch to ever fill out a pair of gray sweats.
He should be the last man I want under my mistletoe.
He’s too old. Too cocky. And too damn tempting.
But one snowy night, one reckless touch, and one unforgettable kiss have me rethinking everything I thought I wanted.
Suddenly, the holidays aren’t about twinkle lights and tinsel.
They’re about stolen moments, secret touches, and the kind of Christmas chaos that feels way too good to resist.
Maybe the best gifts don’t come wrapped in pretty bows…
Maybe they come with dirty grins, filthy mouths, and the power to make me forget every single reason why Camden doesn’t belong at the top of my wish list. . .
‘Tis the season.

From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Fake Dating, Teach Me, Spicy Sports Romance.
A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.
One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.
Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.
Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.
Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.
Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.
But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.

Sweet Temptation Excerpt
There was a time I would have done anything to get Lucky Beneventi to notice me. Really see me. But he never did. Not as anything other than his best friends’ little sister.
Guess some things never change.

An accidental marriage, forbidden, billionaire romance, From USA Today and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author, Bella Matthews.
In my defense, I never planned on marrying my husband.
But after one wild night and one too many cocktails, I wake up tangled in silk sheets, with a diamond ring on my finger, a sinfully sexy prince next to me in bed, and palace guards banging on the door with devastating news.
The king is dead.
And apparently, my accidental husband is next in line for the throne.
Now I'm stuck navigating crowns, cameras, and a man I barely know but somehow can't keep my hands off—all while figuring out what to do with this mistake of a marriage. But Rhys Windsor doesn't look at me like a mistake. He looks at me like I'm his only truth.
They say a little white lie never hurt anyone... but this little lie could destroy a dynasty.
