Michael Crist, el hermano mayor de mi exnovio, es como esa película de miedo que estás deseando ver. Guapo, fuerte e intimidante, le he observado durante años, deseando estar más cerca para comprobar si lo que se dice de él es verdad. Es la estrella del equipo de baloncesto de su universidad, jamás había reparado en mí y apenas me había mirado… hasta ahora. Tiene algo en mente, lo noto, casi puedo saborearlo pero, sabiendo todo lo que sé, ¿quiero averiguar que tiene planeado?

My name is Zayn Bronsyn, and I think I screwed up. I wasn't supposed to fall, especially not for her. She's in a league of her own, and I'm just her brother's scumbag friend.

If Easton finds out I hooked up with his sister, he might actually kill me. She's too innocent, too perfect for a guy like me, but I can't resist dragging her into my messed-up world. Amelia Donovan might be the one to revive my blackened heart.

Our first meeting was at a nightclub, and it was something straight out of my most romantic fantasies. My ovaries exploded at the sight of the Russian God. And by God, I mean he was ripped, tall, dark, and deadly attractive. There were enough sparks between us to light up a city. Then an explosion blasted through the nightclub, and we got trapped together for three hours, sharing our most personal details...everything but our names. Two years later, our second meeting is the complete opposite of the first. It's clear Misha Petrov, a Russian enforcer for the bratva, despises me.

He said he took me to protect me. That he was saving me. But who will save me from him?

Alexis should've never set foot in my world. Men like me stain girls like her. We take their innocence and tear it to shreds. She thinks she's tough. She thinks she can handle me. But she doesn't know just how deep my darkness goes. It was for the best that I claimed her for a night and left her behind. Anything more than that would have been cruel.

I thought I knew who I was, where I came from, but my life is turned upside down when a stranger knocks on my door with promises that seem too good to be true. I should have run like hell and never looked back, but it’s too late now. I’m enrolled at Cadieux College, where secrets and deception line the walls, and the founding families rule without question. They all think I’ll be easy to use, to control, but I’m nobody’s puppet.

My enemy doesn’t make the rules behind closed doors…even if he’s my boss.

It’s precisely why I’m on the first plane to an undisclosed location for our cybersecurity team retreat. I’m ready to prove to our company that I can handle anything…except sharing a cabin and a bed with my meticulous, elusive boss. He’s antisocial. Ruthless. Enemy number one.

When my ex leaves me and my little girl penniless, the last person I expect to step in is my childhood sweetheart, Vander Moore. It's been years since he walked out of my life, and now he's barreling back into it, seeking redemption, and making me an offer I can't refuse--to become his new assistant. But everything has changed, including him. The broody, sinfully hot bad boy CEO doesn't trust anyone. Especially me. It isn't long before we're butting heads and fighting at every turn.

Doch dieses Mal geht einer der Gäste zu weit und setzt seine Tochter Ivy als Gewinn aus. Cyrus weiß, dass diese selbstbewusste und schöne Frau sich niemals mit jemandem wie ihm abgeben würde.

Ranching isn't easy, especially on the border of Yellowstone. The days are long, the competition is ruthless, and there's always someone out there waiting to take what's yours. For my family to survive, things have to go back to the way they were. The Carsons used to run Fork River. We were feared but respected. My father changed that legacy by thinking he could run things legitimately. He lost our power, he lost our control, and he lost our respect. Now I'm taking it back…

I thought I’d already lost everything, but life has a way of proving you wrong. The moment I set my scuffed sneaker on Cadieux Island for College, my fate was sealed, but there’s no way I could have prepared for what was coming. I should have run when I attracted the Morningstar’s attention, ruthless twins that lord over the elite school and everyone in it. I thought I could handle them, or at least survive them, but now it seems I might not live without them.

I made her my queen. Then she smashed her crown. Alexis was nothing...until I made her my everything. My queen. My world. My sun and my stars. But just when I thought I could trust her, my tiger showed her true stripes. She ran from me. And she took our infant son with her. Some sins are unforgivable - and nobody takes what's mine. I will find her. Reclaim her. And then I will ensure that she can never leave me again.
