"If you're looking for a personal prostitute, I suggest you try elsewhere." She spat the words like they tasted bad. "I'd rather lose my job than lose my self-respect." “But 'personal prostitute'? That stung. Made me sound like some sleazy corporate villain from a bad movie. "You're misunderstanding me." I straightened up, adjusting my tie. "What if I offered something more legitimate?" "Like what?" "Be my girlfriend." Madison's jaw dropped. "Excuse me?" "One year." I warmed to the idea as I spoke. Madison Harper knows all too well the chaos Alexander Knight leaves in his wake. As the billionaire CEO’s personal assistant, she’s cleaned up after countless scandals, soothed furious ex-lovers, and kept his tumultuous private life from spilling into the boardroom. But when one fateful night lands her in Alexander’s bed, everything changes. After the one-night stand, what begins as a moment of weakness spirals into an arrangement neither of them can resist: Madison needs financial help for her mother’s mounting medical bills, and Alexander offers it—on one condition. She must become his girlfriend for a year. No strings. No emotions. Just business. But as the lines between their professional and personal lives blur, Madison’s resolve to keep her heart guarded begins to falter. Beneath Alexander’s reckless charm lies a magnetic pull she can’t escape. And just as she starts to believe she might be more than his latest “arrangement,” the ghost of Alexander’s long-lost first love, Katherine, reappears—threatening to destroy their relationship in a dangerous love triangle.

"You are absolutely my f*ck*ng woman, Dani. Got me?" I squeezed my eyes shut. "Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?" "No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me." He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind." I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come." Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the s*xy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever. Although Austin 'Booker' Carver is enamored by the innocent Dani, he tries to keep the police chief's daughter at arm's length. But when a threat is made from an unexpected source, he finds himself falling hard and fast for the only woman who can tame his wild heart. Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late? Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?

“Do you feel that, Wren? That pull between us?” His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth. “It’s wrong. Your brother would sl*t my throat for even standing this close. But tell me, little bird—” his breath ghosts against my skin, “—are you trembling because you hate me… or because you’ve wanted this as much as I have?” >>> Wren thought she’d left the chaos of New Orleans behind; the club life, the blood-soaked loyalty, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she could ever want—freedom, love, a future. But one betrayal sends it all crashing down. Dragged back home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax, the vice president of the Raven Reapers MC, and her brother’s best friend. He’s infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting. But the deeper she’s pulled into his world, the more she realizes that nothing about her past or Ezra, is what she thought. Yet in the chaos of gang wars, debts, and betrayals, he’s the one who never leaves her side. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous his pull becomes. Because in this world, love isn’t sweet. It’s brutal, bloody, and bound to break them both. When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?

"I have to go," Casper gasps, covering his mouth the moment he hears Serene's name. I reach for him, wrapping my hand around his wrist. "If you walk away from this ceremony, I won't let you humiliate me again." Casper brushes a stray strand of hair from my face. The familiar tingles from the mate bond spread across my skin, but instead of comfort, they feel like mockery. "You're being dramatic, Lily." "I mean it, Casper." "I'll be right back. Wait for me here, and we can finish… this." This. The word stings like a blade against my skin. Is this all that remains of our bond? Something inside me breaks into a thousand pieces, and I know it can't be put back together. *** This is the THIRD time Casper has walked away for Serene. Lilith swears she will never let anyone humiliate her again. Not her mate, not her Pack. She cuts her ties with the Pack to claim her own freedom. She never expects to meet Kael, the heir to the Alpha King, a man who is willing to erase anyone who dares to stand in her way. *** "I can make him disappear. Hell, I can get rid of anyone who bothers you. Just say the word." I swallow hard at the seriousness in his gaze. "No. That won't be necessary." Kael rises and presses a kiss to my forehead. "Just say the word."

“I hate you!” I hiss, throwing punch after punch at his chest while we both move backward. My legs hit the bed and I realize that I have nowhere else to go. “I’m done with this pretend nonsense, do you hear me!?” Those azure eyes filled with lust, longing, and so much hatred never leave my face. He raises his hand and grabs me by the back of my neck. In one swift move, he pulls me toward his hard body and his lips brush against mine. “We’re done when I say we’re done, brat. And when are you gonna stop pretending that you’re not as involved in this like I am?” “What’re you talking about? I hate you, remember?” “Sure you do,” he whispers. His fingers trail down my neck and I shudder. “You hate me so much that your body responds to me whenever we’re close. Just like this. You hate me but you want me.” “No, I don’t.” To prove his point, he presses his lips against mine and I lose the fight. I always do. *** For Isadora Halvick, life has never been easy, as she’s been marked by scandal since birth for being the illegitimate daughter of a billionaire. Her half-brother, Justin, makes her life worse at every possible opportunity, and things become even more complicated now that they’re enrolled in the same university. But when Justin’s biggest rival on the ice, Knox Mohrelian, the captain of the Black Reapers of Hartwell U, suggests they “fake date” to get back at Justin, Isadora jumps at the offer, not knowing that their “relationship” will lead to a disastrous series of events that cause her first year to go awfully, and that she’ll lose so many parts of herself along the way that she’ll end up dropping out. A year later, she’s back, completely different from the rebellious girl she was in her first year, but one thing about Hartwell U? It never forgets. And so, Isadora is plunged right back into the world of scandals, secrets as black as sin, and a complicated relationship that traps her in the cycle of being unraveled and stitched together by the same twisted love. This time, the question is simple: How will it end? And if so, will she survive until then?
