The High Priestess - 1: Damen Aetos. Mob boss. Madman. And soon to be my husband. He doesn’t care that I’m a virgin. Doesn’t care about my beauty. Nothing matters to him but my last name. By marrying me, the Madman ensures that a centuries-old bargain will be met. The fact that he gets me -- gets to do anything to me that he wants -- is just icing on the cake for him. But I have secrets too, lurking beneath my pretty surface. Secrets, lies, and a power greater than either of us can imagine. The question is, when The High Priestess comes calling, how will he respond? Provoke – 2: I meet her in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle towards my sworn enemy. Our eyes catch from across the room. And monster that I am, I know I have to have her. Not just because she is precious to my sworn enemy… but also because her wide blue eyes tell me things. That she’s afraid of me. That she’s even more afraid of my enemy. That she’ll do almost anything to escape him. I seize on her fear. I abduct her, while she’s screaming and fighting me. And that’s when our story begins. Punish – 3: Stolen and abducted… yet in the same stroke, saved. On one hand, I escaped certain death at the hands of people who have already hurt me. On the other, now I’m trapped with him. The rival of my abuser, who is every bit as terrifying. Dark and sinfully handsome, he wants me. He wants me to turn my back on the religion that has raised me. He wants me to spread my legs for him and him alone. He wants to punish me. He wants to teach me to like his lessons. Or else he’ll kill my little sister and turn me over to the men who controlled me before. Either way, I will have to make sacrifices. Sacrifices that have lasting consequences. I walk on the knife’s edge between falling prey again and completely losing myself. And if I’m not careful, I may end up worse than dead... Possess – 4: There is something blooming between my captor and I, hot and wet and fragile. Lust. Obsession. Maybe it’s even love. But there are still secrets that stand between us, looming large over whatever happiness we might find together. Dangerous secrets. Things worth killing over. If I reveal my secret to Dryas, he very well might die to protect me. The last thing I want is to confront those that hurt me without him at my side. But I might not get a choice, if Dryas has his way... Protect – 5: I wake up in the wreckage, ready to fight for Rue. Only she is gone, stolen away by my archenemy. I start to see red. No one touches my girl and expects to live. The deck is stacked against us. Emotions are running high. There is one thing that no one else realizes, though. Rue is mine, and I will get her back if it is the last f*cking thing I do.

Capture - 1: One day, I’m cooking dinner for my brothers and dreaming about going off to college. I’m a good girl, protected by the family. After all, my dad is a big mob boss in New Orleans. The next day, I’m stuffed into the back of an SUV against my will. Kidnapped. Shaking with fear. I try to run, try to escape… but I don’t realize that I am just a pawn. I don’t see the larger picture, or the shadowed man pulling the strings. I don’t realize that he is going to capture me. Or that I will be lost from the first moment I look into his eyes… Control - 2: I wake up terrified, humiliated, and chained to a wall. The shackles around my wrists mean only one thing. He owns me now. With his dark glares and barked orders, he is dangerous. He is my tormentor, my captor, a threat to my very existence. Not to be toyed with. Even if my frightened mind whispers maybe… Even if I am very curious how such a man came to be. I am still his dark and twisted pet, to cherish or to scorn. And I am starting to love the darkness... Covet - 3: No one is coming to save me. I am his Fiore now, his flower. To do with as he wishes. And he wants everything. Monster wants my tears, my screams of pleasure, my shudders of fear. In return, he also brings me these moments of startling clarity. I know who I think I am. I know who he says I am. I feel I’m somewhere between, lost in an ocean of pain. When he trots out my brother with a wide smile, I’m forced to choose between them. It’s a simple choice: the only family I have left, or the Monster I’m increasingly drawn to? Cherish - 4: Something has shifted and changed in me. I have left Katherine behind, and stepped fully into the blossom of Fiore. But while I am undergoing that transformation, Monster too senses a sea change within. He’s violent and moody and… he seems to care about what happens to me. It is unthinkable, but maybe the fragile bond between us has grown into something more. Something dark and glittering and provocative. Profound and emotional. I know that this wasn’t his plan. I know that he hates that I might have power over him. But I hope that the delicate thing between us grows. Even if I don’t know where it might lead either of us.

Bad Behavior- Bad Behavior Duet, Book 1 Cynic. F*ck up. Outsider. That’s Jameson in a nutshell - not to mention drool-worthy, dreamy, and perfect fantasy object. He’s also my older brother’s best friend and business partner. I’ve had a thing for Jameson ever since I was old enough to have dirty dreams. My brother has made it crystal clear that if he catches rough, wrong-side-of-the-tracks Jameson even looking at me, someone will get hurt. That doesn’t deter me, though. I want Jameson to be my first. And that’s why my brother can never find out what happened. Because Jameson kissed me. No -- not kissed -- he shoved me up against a wall, possessed me, and took my breath away. Then he promptly passed out in my bed, wasted. Now I know that Jameson wants me. I may be off limits because of my brother, but that kiss is branded in my mind. I need another taste of Jameson. I crave his brutal touch. Pinned against the wall, gasping at the feel of his body pressed against mine, crying out in pleasure and pain while he gives me everything I’ve dreamed about. As long as my brother doesn’t catch on, Jameson might just give me exactly what I want… and a whole hell of a lot more… Bad Reputation - Book 2 I’m over Jameson. Finished. Done. He broke up with me, citing his friendship with my big brother. So I washed my hands of him. Heartbroken, I am trying to move on with my life. But of course, Jameson can’t make things easy for me. He’s still in my space every chance he gets, taunting me with his soulful eyes and his clever smile. I remember all too well what it felt like to be wrapped in his arms, to be under his big body, to be screaming his name. I just can’t seem to shake him. Every step I take away from him seems to bring us closer together, even though we’ve been down this road before. The same forces threaten to rip us apart forever… unless Jameson and I learn to put love first.

When Alex discovers his ex is the new vet in town, he knows he should stay away. And he's right. His father inflicted wounds on Madison and her family. Reminding her of that past isn't smart, and she throws her pain in his face every chance she gets. Madison makes it crystal clear...she doesn't want him back. But Alex just can't ignore those sexy curves, that sassy, oh-so-kissable mouth, and he's not above using his horses to get what he wants--more up-close and personal time with her. Driving her to distraction is easy. Convincing her to give him another chance to hold her? That's going to take everything he's got.

I meet her in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle towards my sworn enemy. Our eyes catch from across the room. And monster that I am, I know I have to have her. Not just because she is precious to my sworn enemy… but also because her wide blue eyes tell me things. That she’s afraid of me. That she’s even more afraid of my enemy. That she’ll do almost anything to escape him. I seize on her fear. I abduct her, while she’s screaming and fighting me. And that’s when our story begins.

Heartbroken, destroyed, and on the edge of despair. That’s how I felt for two years after my wife died, leaving me all alone with our baby.

She’s got curves that my hands ache to hold, and toffee-colored eyes that beg me to do unspeakable things to her. I don’t want to want her. I don’t want to look at her, and I definitely don’t want to long for her. I want to avoid her. Except… I can’t. Everywhere I go, everything I do, I am brought back to Larkin. And when we finally cave, falling into bed together... It’s f**king explosive and passionate and deep. It feels as essential as breathing. I’m starting to fall in love with Larkin… but it was never supposed to turn into this. If I want a future with Larkin, I have to figure out how to let go of the past. And nothing has ever felt so good and hurt so bad.
