Hey, it's your girl Von again. Remember when I said hunting down those two Accardi heirs would be a piece of cake? Well… I found one of them, only to realize he's a guy I hit and quit two years ago. What's even worse is the fact that I still remember him. I never remember my flings. I'm the girl who scratches the itch and moves on. Of all the itches, why did it have to be a clingy one? This maniac says we're soul mates. Ha! Yeah, right.

The first book in a seductive new series from #1 Amazon bestselling author Scott Hildreth Tripp Once, I took down terrorists on the front lines as a marine. Now I'm in the business of bad. I've sold guns to people others might not approve of. I've eliminated the criminals, the lowlifes and the...

My life has never been easy. I’ve had my fair share of pain - every moment is a fight to survive. With my brother on his deathbed, it’s up to me to provide and protect what’s left of my broken family. I do things I never thought I’d be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger. When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left - my freedom. I belong to them now…the Beast. The Brains. The Bastard.

The only thing on Daire Archer's mind when she pulled a disappearing act on Christmas was proving she was worthy of being her father's daughter. She was born an Archer, and Daire was determined to show everyone she deserved to carry the legacy that came with her name. There is power in a name, and being an Archer meant Daire needed to do better, to be better. At least, that's what she thought she needed, until a boy from nowhere showed her that she was already pretty great just the way she was.

Nothing says welcome home like an irresistibly hot cowboy inviting himself into your shower. I should have kicked him out the second he barged in. He's my brother's best friend, and we're living on a ranch in the same bunkhouse for the next three weeks. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

What happens when a Daddy's girl grows up to be crowned the first female underboss of the mafia? What an excellent question. Thank you so much for asking. No, seriously, I've been waiting twenty years to be able to answer this. Trust me, being hidden away in another country with a nanny, a groundskeeper, his son (my ex-best friend), and the wicked witch of the west—a.k.a. my stepmother. I'm dying to spill the tea.

Det var som om Lillie Langtry var född till att vara blickfånget i varje rum. Hon var en skådespelerska av rang och firad skönhetsdrottning. Framgångsrik var bara förnamnet. Hennes dragningskraft bland männen var självklar, nästan hypnotisk. Hon levde för dagen med en stor aptit på livet, men hennes popularitet bland männen blev nästan slentrianmässig. Hon var djupt olycklig i sitt första äktenskap och när prinsen av Wales, senare Edward VII av England, tillkännagav Lillie Langtry som sin skyddsling och älskarinna formades en meningsfull vänskap mellan de båda som skulle vara tills hans död.

Hey there. I'm Von, your not-so-average girl with a flair for the unconventional. My hobbies? Oh, just the usual—beach strolls (best after serenading the fish with a symphony of a soon-to-be-dead man's scream... long story), and DIY projects. Ever cuddled a C4-stuffed pillow? No? You're missing out. My family is what I think most people would consider normal. A doting father, loving mother, twin older brothers who are a pain in my ass, the usual. Yeah, we have a family business that requires you to know how to shoot a gun, bribe officials, and pay off the cops, but everyone's family does that.

"Rummet hade gräddvita tapeter med stora röda rosor och förgylld stuckatur. Den tjocka heltäckningsmattan var också som ett hav av grädde och den gamla franska rokokosängen, bred och pösande, var det likaså. Kuddarna var guldfärgade. Och det var också amorinen som hängde i ett band från taket. På ena vägen satt en väldig guldspegel som kunde spegla sängens fröjder eller den person i sin nakenhet som steg i eller ur bädden. Gardinerna i röd sammet kunde försänka rummet i ett romantiskt dunkel".

"Det var inte likt henne att tänka så om Göran. Hon hade anpassat sig till deras gemensamma tillvaro som hon en gång frivilligt valt att dela. Hon hade gjort den till en vana. En vana står man ut med, för den blir med tiden så gott som omärklig. Och vad beklagade hon sig över? Hon hade fått det trygga liv hon förmodligen inte var i stånd att leva utan och den gode okomplicerade man som hon helhjärtat kunde hålla av och respektera." Eva älskar sin make Göran, en förståndig man som var läkare till yrket. Deras liv tillsammans är tryggt, stabilt och alldeles förutsägbart.

A dangerous cult has recently taken over the desert ghost town of Paradise, Arizona.

They’ve already tried to murder one woman and they’re implicated in the disappearance of another. Nate Ferrentino, who works for private security contractor Department 6, has been assigned to infiltrate this group.

I was sold to my enemies; a deal made to keep the peace, but deals get broken all the time... What did these powerful families have as collateral? Their daughters. A decade earlier, they decided that we were expendable, that we could be sold in marriage to keep their dealings honest. I didn’t matter more than the security I could bring to the marketplace. I was twelve when they decided that, in ten years, I’d belong to the Hernandez family. Everyone knew what was coming for me. Everyone…except me.
