 THE LOCKDOWN MANN

Riley Hart 

Release Date: October 22

Meet Riley Hart:

Riley Hart’s love of all things romance shines brightly in everything she writes. Her primary focus is Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories told from the heart.

A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.

When Riley isn’t creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading or traveling, and spending time with her two perfectly snarky kids, and one swoon-inducing husband.

Desmond

I was sixteen years old when I met Oakley Manning during a family beach vacation. He was funny, gorgeous, as obsessed with football as I was, and hurting after his mom abandoned him.

For two weeks, we were inseparable. Oakley made me feel complete, settling something inside me.

Then one night, I kissed him…and he kissed me back.

When he walked away afterward, I pretended it hurt less than it did. It’s a lesson that’s stuck with me—the people I want never choose me back.

 Oakley

Everything about what I shared with Desmond Jackson was perfect.

Then, on the last morning of our trip, my ex-girlfriend-slash-best friend dropped a bomb: “I’m pregnant.” For the sake of the baby, we decided to make it work.

Eleven years later, Serena and I are still best friends, but our relationship is over, though we haven’t told anyone. Between her mom’s recent diagnosis and our daughter, we aren’t ready for more complications.

Enter Des, recently traded to L.A.’s second pro football team—my team being the first. Now he’s always in my periphery, infuriating and needling me…and still capable of making my pulse race. Our chemistry is as combustive as ever. Des worships my body in ways I’ve never experienced, but he doesn’t believe in forever, and I can’t do casual.

We compete at everything, but he doesn’t know he’s already won my heart. I just hope it’s a prize he wants…and that my world won’t implode if I have him.

The Lockdown Mann is a second-chance romance between two professional football players, with a complicated history and an even more complicated present. Expect banter, anonymous online messaging, and heart. There is no cheating in this book.

🏈❤️ A sweet second-chance MM romance that warmed my heart. I loved Desmond and Oakley’s connection, and how Desmond cared so deeply for Oakley while respecting his situation and putting his family first. Their tenderness toward each other really got to me, and I was so hopeful for them to find their way back to each other and finally get their happy ending. ❤️

Rian

As head of the O’Shea family, I don’t make mistakes.

I certainly don’t become obsessed with a guy. Stalk him. And then proceed to kidnap him to a secluded cabin when an attempt on my life is made.

But that’s exactly what I did.

While my family hunts down the men who tried to kill me, Doctor Preston Abbott is trapped with me, and I expect him to nurse me back to health before paying the ultimate sacrifice. Abbott…who is also the governor’s son.

Each day my interest in him grows. He cares for me, shares parts of his life with me, willingly gives his body to me and begs for more…even though he knows he’ll die by my hand.

I never thought I would want someone again this way, that I would crave another person the way I do Abbott. He’s too good for the violence of my world, and all the sinful things I revel in. I’m a monster but he’s mine until the end.

Mine to crave…mine to touch…mine to kill…

Craving Sin contains MCs dealing with grief, violence, darker themes, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance, so you can expect a happily ever after for our guys.

Craving Sin ( Sinful Things Book 1 ) I loved seeing Rian rebuild his relationship with Cillian! That part was perfect!  

The confused but sweet way Rian handled Abbott was absolutely addictive. His obsessive and possessive nature toward Abbott, even when he didn’t fully understand his own feelings, made me keep turning the pages! 

 And Abbott… who is an extremely gentle soul, you want to wrap him up and give him all the love he so deeply deserves.

 I finished this one in a single sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I loved everything about it! Definitely a book to pick up and devour—much like Rian and Abbott devour each other.

 Wonderfully written, I fell into the Mafia world again!

When I first laid eyes on Zuri Alexander, I knew she was mine.

And becoming more than friends was just as easy as breathing.

But she doesn’t know my secrets. There’s a dark side to the family business. So, I lie to her to cover it up.

I know she can feel the wall building between us, and I want nothing more than to tear it down…but the only way to do that is to share my truth with her.

That the girl she’s dating is involved in organized crime.

But When Zuri becomes a target of what appears to be some red pill incel, I know we’re the only ones who can keep her safe.

I just hope she can trust me one last time.

Because my devotion to her means there is nothing I won’t do to protect her.

Sweet Devotion is a 24k word FF novella that contains violence, misogyny and discussion of losing parents.

Zuri and Aislin are absolutely fit!  I loved watching them learn to trust, open up, and find the happiness they both deserved. Their journey was heartfelt, emotional, and had me rooting for them from beginning to end.

The O’Shea family  are loving, protective, and so supportive of Zuri and Aislin’s relationship. I especially loved getting to spend time with the whole family and seeing them finally happy after everything they’ve been through.

This was such a sweet, emotional romance, and I finished it with a smile on my face.
