I loathe Alastor Shaw. The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists. In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground. We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch. Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game. I’m fixated on her for a different reason.

Callum Griffin is the heir to the Irish mafia. He’s ruthless, arrogant, and he wants to kill me. We got off on the wrong foot when I set a (very small) fire in his house. Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn’t so damned good-looking.

I couldn’t kill Mara… But that doesn’t mean Shaw won’t. She’s living in my house, always with me, always under my control. The more I push her, the more she pushes back. She’s peeling away my secrets, one by one. And I’m tempting her to do things she never thought she’d do…. Shaw won’t stop hunting her.

I know her secret…. Cat is in so much trouble. She did something bad, and I saw. I’ll keep her secret...for a price. Poor, sweet, timid Cat should never have come to Kingmakers. It’s a place for monsters and killers. People like me. She wandered into the lion’s den and now she’s mine. Mine to play with. Mine to torment. Mine to break....

I only meant to steal a car. I didn't know I was stealing a girl, too. Until the most gorgeous face I'd ever seen popped up in the rear-view mirror. I fell hard, fast, and forever.... But she tore out my heart - left me alone and bleeding. How can I forget her, when I have to see that damned perfect face on billboards and magazines? It's torture. Nine long years. I thought I moved on. Then I saw her in the flesh....

I’ve waited three long years for this.... Hiding. Lying. Spying. Waiting like a spider for her to wander into my web.... Now she’s here, and I have to get even closer to her. I’ll help her. Befriend her. Seduce her, even. The only thing I can’t do is fall in love with her. Her father took everything from me: my money, my family, my life. He has to pay for what he’s done. And she’s the only thing that can hurt him....

I’d go anywhere for her.... Even to Kingmakers, the most brutal college in the world. Where mafia heirs are trained to control, dominate, infiltrate, and kill. I followed Anna because she’s my best friend. I’ve always been right by her side. She needs me to protect her. Especially from Dean Yenin, a Bratva heir with a lethal grudge. He plans to take everything from me. Starting with Anna....

Wenn Hass in Leidenschaft umschlägt ... Auftragskiller Lachlan "Leather" Kane sehnt sich nach Ruhe. Er will die Vergangenheit vergessen, die ihn zu einer tödlichen Waffe gemacht hat. Der Unterwelt zu entkommen, scheint jedoch aussichtslos. Zumindest bis Lark Montague, die Tochter eines wichtigen Kunden, ihm einen Deal anbietet: Wenn er sie heiratet, wird sie für seine Freiheit sorgen. Das Problem? Er kann sie nicht ausstehen. Lark ist der Sonnenschein, der durch jede dunkle Wolke bricht, hinter der sich Lachlan zu verstecken versucht.

I want the one girl I can’t have....Zoe Romero is trapped in a marriage contract with the most sadistic psychopath at Kingmakers. She couldn’t be more off limits. Stealing her from Rocco Prince would break the most ironclad rules of the mafia world. But I have to have her. She’s my soul mate. I want her, or no one at all. I’ll do anything to save her. Rocco will do anything to destroy her. I’ve got one chance to achieve the impossible....

Riona Griffin is gorgeous, intelligent, and iron-willed. My perfect woman, except she hates my guts. She thinks she doesn’t need anybody. But she needs me. She’s being hunted by an assassin who never misses his mark. I’m going to stay by her side, day and night, keeping her safe. Riona thinks that’s a fate worse than death, but I know she’ll learn to love me. If this hit man wants to kill her, he’ll have to go through me first.

Nessa is my captive, my little ballerina who dances only for me. She's sweet and innocent. She doesn’t deserve any of this. But that’s how our world works. The wolves eat the lambs, no matter how gentle they may be. I’ll use her to get my revenge. Unless I give in to my hunger first.

I saw him in a cloud of smoke, like sin made flesh. Even bruised and battered, I’d never seen anything more beautiful.... Unless I hate myself, I should stay far away from Nero. He’s a heartbreaker. A mess-maker. A walking disaster. Here’s the problem: I’m in deep trouble with a dirty cop. The only person who can save me is Nero. We’re not friends. If he saw me drowning, he’d throw me. But he’s the only chance I’ve got.

I saw her being stuffed in a trunk: Yelena Yenina, only daughter of the most vicious Bratva boss in Chicago. The Bratva hate my family. They burned my uncle alive. I should have left Yelena to her fate.... But she fought like a Valkyrie. Gorgeous, ferocious, and unbreakable. I saved her so I could make her mine. She says she’ll never submit to a man. I guess we’ll see....

A laugh. A touch. A lingering look. A dead body. An affair. A crime years in the making. Alice knows she’s in too deep. But behind closed doors, no one is who they seem…

I’ve been branded a monster, but some scars run deeper than the eye can see… All it took was one ride, and I was obsessed. Now, every day I watch. Waiting. My obsession’s oblivious to my machinations. She doesn’t know that my life’s been fueled by anger and vengeance. Until today. My fixation takes a twisted turn when Oaklyn needs to hitch another ride. How unfortunate she doesn’t know this could be her last ride—ever.

In a desperate bid to get out of town, twenty-seven-year-old virgin and bookstore nerd Elena Zelenska becomes the world's most unlikely mail-order bride. Her gamble pays off when she's swept off her feet by Lorne Ronson, handsome single father and (gasp!) actual published author. Elena's new fiancé seems almost too good to be true. Her life is turning into a fairytale, especially once Lorne starts building her a castle in the woods. But when Elena arrives in Grimstone, her fairytale turns darker.

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted. Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.

Cat hat etwas Schlimmes getan, und Dean Yenin hat es gesehen. Nun wird sie vom bösesten Tyrannen in Kingmakers erpresst. Er bietet ihr einen teuflischen Handel an: sein Schweigen und seinen Schutz ... wenn Cat ihm gehört. Deans Dominanzspiele bringen Cat dazu, Dinge zu tun, von denen sie nie gedacht hätte, dass sie sie tun würde.

Er will die eine Frau, die er nicht haben kann ... Zoe Romero könnte unerreichbarer nicht sein. Ein Ehevertrag bindet sie an den skrupellosesten Mann von ganz Kingmakers. Sich ihr zu nähern würde die eisernen Regeln der Mafia-Welt brechen. Aber das hat Miles Gallo noch nie aufgehalten. Er will Zoe für sich gewinnen – egal um welchen Preis. Zoes und Miles’ verbotene Gefühle entfachen einen Machtkampf mit katastrophalen Folgen. In einer Welt, in der ein einziger Verstoß gegen die Gesetze den Tod bedeuten kann, geht es bei Miles’ Leidenschaft für Zoe nicht nur um Liebe ... es geht ums Überleben.
