Showing results for "Cinderella" in Romantic Suspense

On the surface, the world glitters with all things only money can buy. My thoughts should be on the danger lurking beneath the surface. The money and power come from places and dealings the world pretends don't exist. I'm here at this debutante ball as a representative of the new Sparrow underworld. The clock is ticking as alliances are formed and enemies eliminated. There isn't time to be distracted, and yet I catch a glimpse of the stunning woman across the room.

Although widowed attorney Hope Kendall cares deeply for president of the Lost Kings MC, Rochlan "Rock" North, the truth is they come from completely different worlds. Add to that the fact that they are also both headstrong people, and they have a very rough road ahead of them.

Betraying the most powerful man in New York wasn’t something I ever envisioned when I first started playing games with Winston Constantine. But he’s engaged in far more dangerous games than ours, and his enemies are out for blood. Winston has my heart, the Morellis have incriminating photos, and I’m left with nothing except three stepbrothers who want to hurt me and a future in doubt. I knew Winston wouldn’t be my prince charming, but that didn’t stop me from falling for him. After all, the slippers fit, and I let myself believe I’d be dancing with Winston forever.

Money can buy anything...and anyone. As the head of the Constantine family, I’m used to people bowing to my will. Cruel, rigid, unyielding—I’m all those things. When I discover the one woman who doesn’t wither under my gaze, but instead smiles right back at me, I’m intrigued. Ash Elliott needs cash, and I make her trade in crudeness and degradation for it. I crave her tears, her moans. I pay for each one, and every time, she comes back for more. When she challenges me with an offer of her own, I have to decide if I’m willing to give her far more than cold, hard cash.

She’s Cinderella, but I’m no prince. I’m son to the richest mafia lord in Vegas. Heir to the throne under one condition: Find a wife, or I’ll do it for you. And I found her. But she is too good, too innocent. I’ll ruin her, but I can’t let her go. I lose my mind when she calls me daddy. When the clock strikes midnight, the party’s over. She better run, or my darkness will take over.

Si sono incontrati solo una volta, ma Daniel non può dimenticarla: la sconosciuta di cui non sa nulla, incontrata per caso, con cui è stato amore a prima vista. Un amore, tanto breve quanto intenso, nato a condizioni ben precise: durerà solo un'ora, sarà solo finzione e i due non si scambieranno i nomi né vedranno i loro volti. Quando tutto finisce e la ragazza scappa via come Cenerentola, Daniel cerca di convincersi che quello che è successo tra loro era perfetto solo perché fingevano che lo fosse. Il grande amore, in fondo, esiste solo nelle favole.

"Die Welt dort draußen ist böse, mein kleiner Liebling. Es ist wichtig, dass sie nie erfährt, dass du existierst. Denn wenn sie von dir wüsste, würde sie sich wie ein ausgehungertes Tier auf dich stürzen und zerreißen." Neunzehn Jahre hindurch habe ich kaum einen anderen Menschen um mich gehabt als meine Mutter. Nun ist sie tot und ich bin vollkommen allein in dieser Welt. Als ich Gabriel Hunt zum ersten Mal begegne, ist es wie ein Funkenschlag. Er ist all das, was ich nicht bin. Weltmännisch, kultiviert, charismatisch. Ich bin die Motte er ist das Licht.

Ella Ashmore was perfect. Hell, she still is. Kind. Sweet. Pretty. A body that doesn’t quit. She’d have guys lined up around the block if they weren’t so worried I’d kill them for looking. Because I never stopped loving her. Even when she found out about me. About my family. Got sickened and disgusted about what I did for a living. Told me to get the hell out. Sure, I left. But I knew I’d be back. That I’d make her mine.
