Eine abgefuckte Aufgabe für einen gestörten Typen. Dozent für Disziplin und Gehorsam. Auf einer privaten Hochschule für Töchter der Elite. Ein Job so krank, dass nur jemand wie ich ihn machen kann. Doch Sie ist noch kaputter als ich. Sie weckt etwas in mir, das ich tot glaubte. Meine Maskerade aufrechtzuerhalten wird immer schwerer. Professionelle Distanz zu wahren wird zu einem Problem. Sie ist wie eine wahrgewordene Wunschvorstellung. Sie nicht in Besitz nehmen zu wollen ist fast unmöglich. Teach me - Lehre mich. Als ich diese Worte von ihren Lippen höre, verändert es alles.

My life has been a series of bad decisions. Marrying an abusive man was the first... but falling for a dangerous inmate where I’m a nurse may be the worst. He’s brutal, heartless, and twisted. But he’s also the only one to notice the bruises on my skin. His forbidden touch becomes my addiction. His drugging kisses my obsession. After I learn the truth about why he’s in prison, I try to escape, but he finds me.

I wake up chained to the bed of a stranger. He says I’m his wife. I have nothing—no money. No friends. No escape. He’s everything I never imagined: ruthless, calculating, feared. A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

A Shifter grappling with an uncertain future finds solace in the arms of a Vampire, but the only way to confront her feelings is to face her past. An emotional tale about forbidden love, emotional scars, and finding the courage to heal.

I never wanted this life, this marriage. But Caelian carried me down the aisle, and a corrupt priest declared us husband and wife, ignoring the thousand no's I screamed at our wedding. What began as a battle of wills has turned into an obsession. We were forced into a marriage of convenience, but somewhere between the hate and the heat, we found something more. Something dark and irresistible, something that binds us together even as it threatens to tear us apart.

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

Cruel. Insane. Furious. Lachlan O’Rourke crashed my wedding, saw the bruises under my veil, and now… he’s my new husband. He’s untamed and reclusive and says I’m way too young and innocent for a monster like him. He keeps reminding me this is just a marriage of convenience to keep me safe until the ballet conservatory accepts me.

No one makes me look weak. I’ll show everyone there are consequences for crossing my family. Arianna Pontrelli is mine. I forge her signature on the marriage contract. And stake my claim on this cold, aloof woman. Then show the entire world that she belongs to me.

She was only six when she walked out of the swamp after the LeBlanc School for Girls caught on fire. Sixteen years after the terrifying night that stole her memory, a child’s scream lures Ginny back into the woods…where a strong arm encircles her. The gun-wielding stranger is Paul Stanton, a cop-turned-P.I., who’s come to Johnson’s Bayou looking for answers of his own. Paul has spent almost two decades searching for his missing sister and now, this Southern beauty could be the key to his quest. But someone would rather see Ginny dead than have her memories resurface.

I can’t escape him. I thought I did. When I slipped off one night, leaving everything in my old life behind, I was ready to sacrifice it all if only to leave him behind, too. But, like always, my ex chases after me. That’s what he does, after all. Holding to the vows I was too young and naive to understand, William Burke will have me ’til death do us part. And then, almost immediately, it does—when Will is slaughtered in a back alley.

They lied to me. Kept secrets. And now, I'm forced to pay the ultimate price. The Divine One sees me as a necessary sacrifice in this war I know very little about. Do I allow myself to become a pawn... or do I fight back with everything I have, regardless of the consequences?

No one's life is perfect, but Henley doesn't have many complaints. She graduated from college, landed a great paying job in Dubai, and married a man who swept her off her feet. The only thing missing from the equation is a child. Henley and Ethan are working hard to add to their family, and when Ethan suggests an unconventional method Henley is thrown for a loop. Is the proposition weird or is her man just that loyal that he would do anything to ensure she was able to have a child?

Three people dead and only a divorced single cop can solve the crime. His main “person of interest” is an attractive, successful black woman who seems shaken up. When she tries to escape, Kane risks everything to stop her. A stormy night, a highway chase and a devastating twist that lead the cop and his suspect to be trapped together in a cabin for a long snowy night changes everything.

The first time I saw Gabriele Vitale, some dark yearning deep inside me called to him and no matter what I did, I couldn’t stop wanting him. He’s made it clear that he wants nothing to do with me. But sometimes there’s a flicker of interest in his eye, and it’s enough to make me know he’s lying. When a stupid decision on my part throws us together, I get a first-hand view of the darkness he alludes to. One part of me is drawn to it. Another part of me is frightened by it. But not enough to stop from getting to know him better.

As the daughter of a biker, I've been toe-to-toe with brutal men. I grew up surrounded by violence, so I thought I could survive anything. Until I learned what it really means to be at the mercy of a monster. One I loved. One I trusted. Now that I've escaped, I refuse to go back. But when I show up on my brother's doorstep looking for help, I find myself face-to-face with Mason Zane.

Not just because I’m afraid of him (although I am)… But because, deep down, I WANT him… And I know that giving in to him will ruin me forever.
