Rule #1: Always wear a condom. Rule #2: Always leave them wanting more. Rule #3: Always man up. Erica Roberts was the maid of honor in my brother’s wedding and my next conquest. She was toned, tan, and sweet as pie. I should’ve known I’d end up breaking her heart. Still, against my better judgment, I took her, giving us both the best night of our lives. When I woke up the next morning, she was gone, not a trace of what had happened between us, and I realized then I’d broken my number-one rule. Two months later, I get a text telling me I’m going to be a father. I feel a number of emotions–elation, fear, excitement, anger–but then she drops the biggest bomb on me. She says she doesn’t need me or want me. Now I’ve got to do whatever I can to keep us from falling apart. She doesn’t think I want the baby or can be a good father, but she’s about to find out just the kind of man I am.

I thought I knew the truth.

I thought he was my savior.

I’d spent my entire life running from him, only to become trapped in his web.

He says I’ll become his wife, that I’ll provide him an heir.

I’ll do both of those things, under one condition.

His father must die.

I’m the shadows that reach out and take a bite. No one sees me coming, which is why I’m sent to do the things even our fearless leader won’t touch.

After months of watching our enemies, it’s time to take them out. I’m ready to feel their blood on my hands, their worthless lives ground to dust.

But I don’t get the chance when a dark-haired beauty comes crashing into my plans, seeking sanctuary from our enemies. Now I’m stuck on guard duty, babysitting a mafia princess.

As tensions rise, the flames of desire flicker between us. We shouldn’t cross that line.

I’m too dark, cruel, and sinister for her.

I swear I’ll watch over her, protect her from anyone and anything. But there’s one thing I can’t protect her from: me.

But when enemies lurking in the shadows threaten to take all that away, I know I’ll do anything to keep my butterfly safe…even if it means betraying the only family I’ve ever known. *This standalone dark romance contains mature themes and sexual situations.

My life used to be simple—quiet, safe. But then I fell in love with dangerous billionaire arms dealer Callum Torrio. Our love story was doomed from the beginning—forbidden, a temptation we couldn’t touch. His secrets have the power to kill me, and when I discover the hidden truth and the part he played in my mother’s death, I have no choice but to run. But nothing will stop him from keeping me by his side. A king needs his queen. Where do you hide when the pain becomes suffocating and the man you thought you knew turns out to be the villain?

I made a mistake. At sixteen years old I fell for the wrong man. Callum Torrio. Ruthless billionaire. Dangerous villain. My best friend’s father. At twenty one, I gave up hope that he would ever notice me. He’s twenty years older than me and an arms dealer for the mob. The smart choice would be to forget he ever existed. But that’s not possible. His icy blue gaze, sculpted physique, and huge rough hands play a vivid part in my dreams. Then one night everything changes. Every fantasy I ever had, he brings to life. Dominant and possessive, he praises and worships me. He makes me feel like a woman, when all my life I’ve felt sheltered and controlled. But Callum has dark secrets and a past that refuses to let go. I knew he was a bad man, but I never would have anticipated this… This dark romance is the first in a three-book series. It contains dark themes and things that may be triggering to some.

She was a tiny little lamb that claimed my heart with one fearful look. I was her captor, the man responsible for breaking her, for preparing her for auction. She was taken, plucked right off the street, and brought to me to be sold at the next auction. Rescuing her from my men was never part of the deal, and neither was bringing her up to my room.

Yet, night after night I did this, refusing to give up the way she made me feel. When I’m with her I feel less like a monster. I can remember the man I used to be before the mob got to me, before all the bad tainted my soul. But wanting her is forbidden, and keeping her unthinkable. If they find out what I’m doing they’ll kill both of us. And still …

I want to save her. I want to love her. I want to cherish her. When the time comes, will I be able to let her go? Or will I risk both our lives for a love that I may not deserve?

Pretending I don’t want her is easy enough. Ignoring her advances is hard but not impossible.At every corner, she pushes me, crawls under my skin, and makes my icy cold heart beat again. She makes me want her so badly I’m almost bursting to possess her.

Knowing the secrets her father is keeping from her, and the fate that will bestow her sooner or later, leads me down a path that neither of us will come back from.

Caught between duty and desire, which will I choose? I promised her father I’d keep her safe, and she is safe … safe from everyone except me.

Alzerro “Zerro” King wasn’t a man to be messed with. Women flocked to him and men ran from him. He ruled the mafia with an iron fist, and no one ever crossed him unless they wanted to pay the price. He believed that the only way to pay for something, if unable to do so, was to do it in blood. Nothing got him harder than stringing someone up and putting a bullet in their head.
That is, until Bree. One look is all it took for him to know that she could pay for her father’s debt in many other ways-ways that could get him hard.

Broken. Dead. Failure. That’s what Jared felt every time he looked in the mirror. A man drowning himself in alcohol and loose women. That’s what he had become.

She was my enemy … I was her new captor …

She was a tiny little temptress of a woman that made my blood sing for vengeance. I should be punishing her, breaking her from the inside out after finding her in my father’s clutches. But when I discover the truth that she is just as much of a victim of my father’s wrongdoings as I am, I can’t follow through.

I know then that I can’t break my little mouse. Not after she’s lured me in with her big blue doe eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and those pink painted lips that beg to be kissed again and again. I don’t think things can get any better, but then she makes me an offer I can’t refuse: her body, her virginity, and her complete submission. And she wants only one thing in return: help finding her sister.

What she fails to realize is that even after helping her find her sister, I can’t just let her go. She knows too much. She’s become a liability. But I have a plan to make certain she’ll never leave or escape me. A plan that involves filling her womb with my filthy seed until I make certain a piece of myself sticks, a plan that will make her the queen of the Rossi Empire.

The second our eyes connected I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web. I thought I was safe with him. Safe in his arms, safe from a past that refused to let go. Turns out Christian Russo was the past I was running from, and my first mistake was ever thinking I could escape him.

This is a dark stalker-mafia romance. It contains adult themes, and material that might be triggering to some readers.

Book 1, Vow to Protect must be read before this one.**

She needed protection from my family … I needed protection from her heart …

She was my ex-best friend’s little sister. Shy, gorgeous as hell, and did I mention completely off-limits?

Well, that is until she lands on my doorstep begging me for protection from my brother. She has no idea the kind of world she’s walked into, or that I’m no better of a man then the one searching for her.

But when she offers me her v-card–the last thing she has in exchange for protection–I can’t deny such a tempting offer. She’s everything I want, and everything I can never have.

When my brother finds out she’s under my protection and that I’ve been hiding her right under his nose, he gives me an ultimatum: marry her, or kill her. And since there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her die, I decided to make her mine … forever.

Who do you trust when you can’t even trust yourself?

Everything I knew was a lie.

Everyone I loved betrayed me.

Everywhere I go someone wants me dead.

I’m no stranger to being alone. Even in my darkest hour, I knew I could count only on myself. Now, I have nothing and for the first time in my life I have to let someone else save me.

This story is NOT a standalone and must be listened to after Ruins of Temptation. This audiobook contains dark-material that might be triggering to some listeners.

They’re coming for her, but first, they’ll have to go through him.

Grace was his first love, his forever, and then he lost her. He’d spent years watching from afar, knowing he could never have her again. The violence, the hate, and pain owned him. It took all the good away. It took her away. The mafia was the only thing that could curb his violent tendencies. Choosing to let her go was the hardest thing in his life, but he wanted her to be happy, safe, protected.

Then everything changed. The moment someone tried to hurt her he knew he had to step in. Grace might not have been his, but she would always be under his protection.

With his enemies coming for him, he knows they’ll do anything, kill anyone to get their revenge, and with Grace being the most important thing to him, he will have to do whatever he can to protect her even if that means bringing her back into his dark and dangerous world.

The mafia owns his soul, but she’ll always own his heart.

I woke up to an empty apartment, and things just got worse from there. My roommate took everything, even my epic purple couch. Rent coming due means I’m desperate, but not desperate enough for Travis freaking Westmister to live with me…that is, until my brother convinces me his best friend and my mortal enemy is my only hope. Now the man I gave my v-card to before he disappeared is parading around my house shirtless, toned, tanned, and ripped. Oh, God, I will not go there. He broke my heart, and I hate his guts–except he’s not who I thought he was at all. Now I can’t cross the line because then I won’t have a roommate–plus me and my virginity hate him. Don’t we?

I’ve spent years trying to be someone I’m not. Controlled and humanized.

Still, the darkness lurks inside me, waiting for a chance to break free.

As the headmaster at Corium University, I must maintain professionalism and keep myself in check. I manage to do that until the day I discover I have a daughter and all the carefully constructed walls I’ve built around myself start to crumble.

I know I need an outlet, a way to shut it off, and then she lands in my lap.

Delilah.

I want to punish her, humiliate her, and hurt her in the best ways.

It’s nothing but a cat and mouse game till I discover the secrets she’s hiding …

It started with a single look…my obsession, my desire, and need to possess the sweet, and incredibly naive Elena Romero. Dark raven hair, and piercing green eyes. She would make a beautiful bride. Ten-million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold. The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most. The man who took everything from me: her father.

I went to a sex club to lose my virginity, but all I got was the attention of a man I should’ve stayed far away from.

Nicholas is dark, dangerous, and charming. When he fails to sweep me off my feet, he finds another way to claim me. Now, locked away in his secluded mansion, I either give him what he wants or risk facing his wrath.

This is a dark game, and if I’m not careful I could end up dead–if I don’t lose my soul to him first.

Her daddy owes me half a million dollars, but I’m taking her in instead.
She’s an innocent in this evil war, but I can’t let her go.
One taste and I’m consumed with need. One taste and she’s mine forever.
I won’t take no for an answer.
I’ll die before I let her go, and she knows it.
She might be afraid, but she has nothing to fear.
I’m taking what’s mine, and the timid, ungodly naive Riley is going to be mine.
Contains mature themes.

She was a broken angel that had the light beat right out of her.

He was the man responsible for her life, her protector …

He never expected to fall for the fragile woman, with soft eyes, and lips that begged to be kissed.

He knew what she saw when she looked at him, a ruthless fighter, a man with a broken past, too far gone to be reached, sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Still, somehow her light reached him, the innocence inside her called to him and the moment her soul touched his, he was tamed, ensnared in her love.

But love comes at a cost, and in this world, you pay with your life. With all the surrounding danger, he doesn’t know if he can protect her. Not only from himself, but also from a past that refuses to let go.

The bet was simple. You draw a name from the hat. That’s the girl you have to seduce. The girl you have to make fall head over heels in love with you. It wasn’t hard for him to do, in fact, it was something he did all the time. He was known for breaking hearts. Sex was just that, sex. And it didn’t take him very long to get a woman on her back. And then he drew her name: Jules Peterson. His former best friend, first kiss, and first love. She shattered his heart into a million pieces three years ago. She left him right when he needed her most. She had entered his life once again, at almost the perfect time. She was a transfer, fresh meat, and she had just put a target on her back. It was his turn to make her pay and break her heart. Holding onto that hate, that anger, that f*cking heartbreak–it does something to you. It breaks you, and it broke and tainted him, just like he would do to Jules. She used to be his everything, but now she was nothing but a bet.

Warning: contains explicit content including sexual assault

He was more than a bully, he was what living nightmares were made of. It started as a childish game played between two friends, which ended in heartbreak. She knew him once. A long time ago they may have even called each other friends. That was before she moved away, before her mother married his father, and before an entire life fell apart. She lost friends, popularity, and a future. This was supposed to be a fresh start, but it was real life hell. Vance Preston used to be a poor boy with a soft smile and kind eyes. He used to be her friend. Now he’s God’s gift to women (his words not hers), disgustingly handsome, and filthy rich. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, and hurt whomever he wants. No one can stop him, and no one dares to. He might as well be god. He dares her to defy him and fight back. He promises he won’t stop until he hurts her. But she’s not afraid, because you can’t break something that’s already broken.

All it took was one frat party for me to notice her. Blair Jensen. Gorgeous nerd with a sharp tongue and give-no-shits attitude. The moment she sneered jock at me, I was captivated.

Then she poured a beer over my head and walked away like I was nothing. Nobody turned down Cage Wilder, nobody, and I knew then that I had to have her, no matter the consequences.

She bruised my ego and embarrassed me in front of my football buddies, turning me into the laughing stock of the team, so I made a bet with them. They claimed there wasn’t any way I could melt the heart of Blair the Ice Queen; after all, she had shown her disgust for me.

Shutting off my feelings after we spend many late nights studying together isn’t easy, and it doesn’t take long for me to discover there is so much more to Blair than what everyone sees.

Sweet, funny as hell, and a believer in happily-ever-afters. I start to fall for her, but she has secrets too, things she’s hiding, a past that haunts her, and I find I want to save her, help her.

She sees me for more than a football god, and she doesn’t take any of my shit. Suddenly, I realize there is so much more to life than living someone else’s dream. The bet I made still hovers over my head though, and I know that if I want more with her, an actual chance, I’ll have to tell her the truth … before someone else does. Question is, will she still want me when she finds out what I’ve done?

Giving my virginity to a stranger was my first mistake.

Lying about my age, my second.

Never expecting to see Lex again, my third.

He promised me one night and I took it, never expecting anything in return.

Then a few months later, I see something I shouldn’t have and fate brings us back together again. I didn’t mean to see it and I wasn’t snooping. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that doesn’t matter to them. I’m a liability.

Now Lex is everywhere I am. Following me, watching me, and making sure I don’t tell anyone what I saw that night. He’s dominating, possessive, and downright controlling sometimes. He warns me of how dangerous this could be for both of us. He tells me that he doesn’t want to hurt me, but he has no idea what seeing him again is doing to me. Not when I have secrets of my own, secrets Lex isn’t ready to hear.

When all the lies are told and secrets come out, will the promises that we made in the dark be kept in the light?

He’s the popular jock everyone loves. Funny, gorgeous, and a flock of girls to choose from. But she’s the bullied and antisocial girl no one notices. She has no friends and she likes it that way–until he walks into her life. They shouldn’t be friends, they definitely shouldn’t be roommates, but that doesn’t stop him though. When friendship blooms into something more, she’s not sure if she should hold on or let go. She’s hiding things, secrets so dark, and deep. If he ever discovers them she is certain he won’t want her anymore. But as she falls harder and harder for him, she starts to wonder if maybe she judged him too soon. The popular jock and the girl that no one notices can’t possibly have a happily ever after it, can they?

For the last ten years, he never stayed with a woman longer than it took to screw them. But then she walked in. Back then she was nothing but a little girl, but now she’s all grown up, with curves, and a smile that reminds him of everything he’s spent the last ten years trying to forget. His attraction to her is instant, and wrong, on so many levels. He’ll do anything he can to stop it, even make her hate him if he has to. She’s here to study, and he’s the newly appointed dean. He shouldn’t be tempted by a student, especially one who’s ten years younger. And he definitely shouldn’t be developing feelings for her, but he is. Because as badly as he doesn’t want to admit it, Lily just might be the one person to make him fall in love again.

Three brothers set out for revenge, to avenge one man’s wrongdoings. He killed everyone they ever loved, stole their world, and nearly killed them in the process. So as the three brothers waited and watched, they took his most treasured possession–his one and only daughter. They knew she was innocent in the war, that she didn’t deserve rage or violence, but they didn’t care. Nothing would stop the brothers from getting justice for their family. Until something changed … and her cries of fear turned into cries of pleasure. Slowly, she brought them to their knees, making them fall for the enemy. But feelings aside, someone had to pay for the damage that had been done. Blood had been drawn, people had been killed, and Jessa, no matter how they felt about her, would be the one to suffer.

The deal was sealed the moment she stepped onto that stage. It was like seeing a ghost: sunshine-blonde hair, pale skin, azure eyes that held a thousand secrets. I didn’t know what caused her to end up on that auction block, and I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had to have her–no matter the cost. A million dollars later, she became mine. Mine to break. Mine to use. Mine to keep. *This standalone novel contains dark themes, including those involving sex and violence–but, as always, there’s a happily ever after and no cheating.

They call me a monster. Murderous and hateful. Beautiful but broken. Nothing can calm the ever-raging storm inside of me. As the ruthless leader of the Doubeck family, there is a certain standard of brutality I have to uphold.

Then I meet her. Beautiful, innocent, and so very afraid. Valentina is a rival family’s daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web. She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep.

Since my father’s death, I’ve needed a wife to solidify my family name, and this woman has piqued my interest. So we strike a deal, intertwining our futures. I’ll put a ring on her finger, own her body, keep her safe, and kill them all.

I make a vow to protect her at all costs. That is until her secrets come to light, and I’m left with the choice of becoming the monster she’s only ever heard rumors about.

Oliver

Rivals since before birth, there has never been a time when my family hasn’t hated the Lockwoods and their daughter Harlow. But she made it personal, no longer just a rivalry between our parents.

Now she’s here, at Bayshore University, without her family’s protection. There’s nothing to stop us from getting our revenge on her, no one to tell us enough is enough.

And so my brothers and I have devised a plan. We’ll break her, have her falling at her knees for us in no time, and then we’ll send her back to her family with a warning: cross the Bishops again and you’ll pay.

Harlow

I’ve despised the smug, stupidly gorgeous Bishop brothers since I was a small child. Our families’ rivalry was one that started years before us, and one that I wanted to end. All I wanted was to enjoy college and move on with my life. But your past can never stay hidden, right?

When the Bishop brothers turn up at my school I have no place to run. I know they’ll make certain I pay for every single bad-mouthed remark I or my parents ever made about them. At Bayshore, I’m at their mercy, and they won’t stop until my heart is a bleeding mess.

Harlow

Darkness surrounds me. Who am I? I don’t remember anything. Every memory of my life is gone. I wake in a hospital not knowing my own name. I don’t know these people who claim to be my parents, but they take care of me, they show me pictures … and introduce me to my fiance?

I guess I was living a perfect life before my accident. I had it all, so I try to remember. I try to keep living my life, but I can’t shake the feeling that something is off. I’m noticing things that are not adding up. I’m catching people around me lying, and I know something is terribly wrong. It seems like my memory is not the only thing missing …

Sullivan

This is all my fault. I hurt her, I let this happen, and now she is in her parents’ clutches again. Even worse, she doesn’t remember anything. She doesn’t remember us.

I hate my parents for playing their part in this, and my brothers hate me for playing mine. I need to fix this. I need to make my brothers forgive me so we can save her. We need to make her remember what kind of people her parents really are before it’s too late.

Now the only question is, if she remembers … will she ever forgive me?

Harlow

I thought I knew the truth, but I didn’t. Secrets surround me. Every aspect of my life was a lie. The Bishop brothers are the only beacon of light in my dark world. They’re the only ones that can protect me, the only ones that truly care.

Finally, I have the leverage I need to escape my father’s clutches, to fight back. But when the truth comes out and the puzzle pieces of our pasts come together, I’m left wondering if there will ever be a future for the Bishop’s and me?

We couldn’t watch her marry a man she doesn’t love. We had to do something, even if it was drastic and completely reckless. Loving a Lockwood is forbidden, taboo, wrong in so many ways. But we don’t care about what our father or anyone else thinks. All we care about is Harlow.

She belongs with us, and we’ll do everything in our power to keep her safe, everything to free her from the hold her family has on her. To us she’s not just a Lockwood, and we’re not Bishops stuck in the same vicious cycle of hate and love. We’ll get our happily ever after no matter the price.

The first time we met, it was an accident.

The second was the night my mother told me she was marrying his father. I didn’t know his name then, but I do now: Hayes Ambrose. Captain of the swim team. Popular, gorgeous, the guy every girl wants, with a smile that’s hiding a million secrets.

In the beginning I was certain we would become fast friends, until the day I heard a conversation that I was never supposed to hear. Overnight he became my worst nightmare, my bully. He’ll do anything to keep me quiet, and I’ll do anything to discover the truth. Until the truth is revealed and I realize it’s far more terrifying than I ever expected.
