Forsaking All Others by Erin FitzGerald, book cover

Book 1: Forsaking All Others

Contractually trapped in a loveless, dead-end marriage, Seraphina is counting down the days until her son turns eighteen and she can divorce her husband.

When a gorgeous, successful, much younger professional athlete presses her to work for him as his personal chef, she is determined to keep things professional despite the slow burn of an intense mutual attraction.

When Seraphina's father in law, a powerful businessman, changes the terms of her contract, she has a choice to make: cooperate, or run. Either way, she'll lose her chance with Mateo, but to defy the business magnate is to lose her son.

The Battle Back Home by Erin FitzGerald, book cover

Book 2: The Battle Back Home

I've spent most of my adult life overseas, on one mission or another, and now that my enlistment is up I'm returning to nothing: no wife, no kids, no dog, no purpose. Just a small storage unit filled with whatever my ex decided I could have when she left me.


Adjusting to civilian life isn't easy and a job lands in my lap, thanks to an old Army buddy who extends an offer of employment with his successful, expanding security company. I also volunteer with a pit bull rescue, where I find an old acquaintance more than willing to keep me at an arm's length.


I'm not big on fate, but something about Harlowe keeps drawing me in, pulling me closer when it's clear I should be running in the other direction. She's closed off, guarded and cautious, and it makes her perfect for the dogs who face life in much the same way.


I've seen some tough things, but for some reason I've made this woman my mission: the toughest one of my life. The problem is that I'm not sure she wants to be rescued; certainly not by me.

All the Days After by Erin FitzGerald, book cover

Book 3: All the Days After

I’ve lost everything I’ve ever known, and I don’t know how to put the pieces back together.

My brothers and sister drop everything to be by my side—because that’s what family does. My oldest brother steps in to keep me grounded. But it’s the redhead who calls me Bear—the one from my dreams—who truly saves me.

When I meet Eve in real life, I can’t stay away. Even though it’s too soon. Even though I’m still drowning in grief. The last thing I want is to pull someone else into my chaos—especially someone fighting her own battles.

Then she thinks I’ve betrayed her, and just like that, she’s gone. And the hole she leaves behind is even deeper than the one I was trying to crawl out of.

She gave me hope in the darkest time of my life. Now she won’t even let me explain. I don’t know how to fix this—but I know I have to try. Because losing her might break me more than anything ever has.

The Things I Can't Say by Erin FitzGerald, book cover

Book 4: The Things I Can't Say

I don’t lose—not in business and not in the cage.

In business, in strategy, in every fight that matters—I study the weakness, apply pressure, and don’t stop until I come out on top. It’s that simple.

Because control is the only thing I’ve ever been able to count on.

No attachments. No complications. And no one close enough to see the cracks in my life.

But there's an exception, Olivia.

Ten years ago, she walked away from me without a second glance—and I’ve spent every day since making sure I never needed anyone the way I needed her.

I succeeded, too—until I walked into my office to find a new hire...

Now she’s in my space. In my head. Under my skin in a way that makes it impossible to think, let alone stay in control.

I tell myself I can handle it, that she’s just another distraction I need to compartmentalize.

But Olivia has secrets. Ones that reach deeper than I’m prepared for and turn the past I thought I understood into something else entirely.

This isn’t just about winning anymore.

It’s about whether I’m willing to risk everything I’ve built… for the one person who has the power to ruin me.

When I Had Nothing by Erin FitzGerald, book cover

Book 5: When I Had Nothing

She asked for a favor. I never expected it to unravel me.

When my stepmother convinces me to help her charming new neighbor, I know she’s playing at something.

Natalie is beautiful, relentless in the way only kind people can be. She forgives too easily, laughs too freely, and sees the light in everything. Being around her feels like stepping into the sun—blinding and warm, and a little too much for me.

But Natalie has secrets of her own, tucked behind that sweet smile. And even as she insists on calling us “just friends,” I can’t stop inching closer. I don’t know how to say I’m sorry—but I can fix things. Do things. Stay near her a little longer.

Until one project spins wildly out of control—and suddenly, I’m forced to bring in help. Watching someone else notice her the way I do? It nearly breaks me. And still, I keep pulling her deeper into my mess.

Because as much as I want to believe I’m someone she could care for, I'm terrified of what she’ll think of the real me.
