The first book in Kate Hawthorne’s new series, Risk Aware, takes us back to Los Angeles and back to the club where it all began…Rapture. Love by Design: Risk Aware Book One is a dad’s business rival (with a mouth on him), age gap romance, with power exchange, hurt/comfort, found family, and the kind of best friend you’ve always wanted.

And did I mention Marshall Covington has three brothers?

SILAS
There are ten rules to architectural design including, but not limited to, balance, harmony, unity, organization…variety. My love life has fewer rules, and it’s no surprise I’m more successful at one of these things than the other. It’s not my fault that my personal preference for keeping things fresh throws me headfirst into a less than ideal situation with a stranger, and it’s definitely not my fault that the man who saves my ass—literally—the last man who should.
Marshall Covington, my father’s business rival.

MARSHALL
I did not set out in life with the intention to seduce the son of my least favorite professor-turned-biggest business competitor, but on the back end of a confrontational meeting that has me desperate to blow off some steam, there’s no denying how perfect Silas feels in my arms.

If I’ve learned one thing in my thirty-nine years, it’s that secrets never stay secret for long. There’s no hiding Silas’ talent, there’s no hiding his (platonic) affection for his best friend, and there’s no hiding the way I’m absolutely head over heels in love with him.

Between his father and my brothers, the truth about us is going to come out sooner rather than later. We’ve reinforced our foundation with love, but is that enough?

Creating worlds where passion and angst collide, Kate’s books bring you complex protagonists in fearless pursuit of happy—if not sometimes unconventional—endings.

They say grief comes in stages—and I’ve hit them all and circled back for seconds.

Losing Wilde should’ve broken me—but it didn’t.

His mysterious death and Sari’s subsequent manipulations only highligh the toxicity of my relationship with them. She says she wants help grieving, but I know better.

She wants to control me, and I almost fall for it.

My family has to extract me from her clutches; as punishment for escaping, my abusive mate begins a campaign of poison. She whispers lies, stirs rumors, and drags out old promises to sway Taurus and Talia.

It almost drives a wedge between us and our new mates, proving how dangerous my ex is.

The only bright spot is the Company deigning to admit me for agent training, but I can’t even enjoy it before Sari launches a new scheme: resurrecting Wilde.

As if that’s never backfired in every cautionary tale ever written.

I’m officially juggling more emotional grenades than any magical, beast-having, newly preggo chick ever should; still, I have to keep a war from tearing apart our home again.

It takes a lot of work to find balance—even briefly. Then a new relationship dynamic and old insecurities blow it all out of the water.

Despite pretty promises, red flags are everywhere; Rafe bolts, and I’m left wondering if we’re cursed.

I’m done letting others write my story.

Molly writes spicy small-town romance with lots of heart. Her heroes are typically blue collar with beefy forearms, and her heroines are stubborn backtalkers. Kinda like Molly and her husband in real life. She lives in Wisconsin, so it’s no surprise that she loves all things cheese, especially in cake form. She’s a cat and dog mom with a few human kids, too, and she has a day job. Writing happily-ever-afters is definitely her escape from reality.

She’s the girl with a plan. He’s the reason she’s rewriting it.

The plan was simple: buy the building, open my artist co-op, and prove I’m not just the family screw-up with a passport full of stamps and a highlight reel of almosts and maybes.

I wasn’t planning on Oliver Martin.

The bartender next door is infuriatingly laid-back, unfairly attractive, and somehow always in my space. He offers help I don’t want, teases like we’ve known each other forever, and makes my heart race when I should be focusing on work.

He’s also hiding something. So yeah… not great.

Just when I’ve made up my mind to stay far away from him, Oliver goes and does something infuriating. He shows me a side of himself that’s real, vulnerable, and completely unexpected.

Now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to protect the dream I’ve poured everything into… while falling for the one person who could take it all away.
