I know her as the unconscious girl I found bleeding out on the locker room floor. I got her help. I saved her life. The next time I see her, she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with me. Too bad. I didn't go through the trouble of saving her life just for her to throw it away again. She doesn't know it yet but I'm about to be her new best friend.

The first time I laid eyes on Amir Vasquez, he held me hostage in my dorm. I swore to myself my second year at Savage U would be different from the last. No more hiding from things that go bump in the night. I’m dating now. Making friends. Living my life. But then someone starts leaving me notes and whispering my name in the dark, scaring me right back into my shell.

Even at 37, with a challenging but rewarding career as a paramedic, Bella Gomez is treated as the baby of the family. It's made her allergic to anyone meddling, so she chooses to keep mostly to herself. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop her family from inserting themselves in her life. Nor does it deter the one man she knows she shouldn't get close to from showing up on her doorstep.

Five years after we first met and I had his baby, Xavier Parker knocked me up again. And this time, I won't be keeping it a secret. My ex-boyfriend is perfectly aware we've got a baby on the way. Only problem? He has no interest in being an ex. See, Xavier Parker is used to getting his way. Girlfriend? Forget it. Now, this brooding duke wants me to be his wife. And he won't take no for an answer.

Once upon a time, I fell for a dashing London restaurateur named Xavier. He left me with a broken heart... and a positive pregnancy test. Now, he's back in my life and determined to stay. He asks me just one question: will I move to London with him? As I enter Xavier's world, our differences couldn't be starker. He's tall, dashing, and practically royal. I'm short, bookish, and the definition of common. First comes love, then comes marriage. Yet all I've got are half-truths and masked secrets. If Xavier and I catch fire, the only thing left in the embers may be our deceptions.

One night was all it was supposed to be. No names, no numbers, no strings. I didn't expect to ever see him again—or for that night to leave me with a permanent reminder. But life has a funny way of ruining plans. Now, I'm back in Sun Valley, face-to-face with Emilio Chavez, the Devil who once made me forget all the rules. He's furious I disappeared without a word, and he's made it his mission to make me pay. It's only a matter of time before he uncovers my biggest secret. When he does, it could ruin everything.

I know three things about my neighbor, Adam. One: He likes to play his guitar on his balcony, often in his underwear. Two: He enthusiastically embraces the rock star lifestyle. Three: He must never, ever exist outside of the Friend Zone. The problem with number three is that over the last year, he’s become my everything. Adam’s the best friend I’ve ever had. The one who pushes me to follow dreams I’d written off as impossible. We have strict lines that we don’t cross. Even when we blur them on occasion by playing you can look but you can’t touch, the lines are always there.

My life is perfect just the way it is, without Arturo DeVille in it. And now, I'm ordered to marry that arrogant, self-centred snob. He expects me to be a sophisticated, docile wife who will smile and nod at his every demand. But it's the last thing I plan to do.

After 10 years in foster care, 18-year-old Ronan is finally reunited with family. His uncle gives him a roof over his head and puts him to work, managing a shabby apartment complex in Santa Cruz, California. But a second chance is still a second chance. Ronan becomes a solitary hunter, a vigilante, walking the streets at night to keep the nightmares at bay. If he can use the anger burning in his tainted blood to protect instead of hurt, maybe then he’ll find the absolution he seeks. Then he meets Shiloh.

Dance is in my blood. It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble. It used to keep them out of trouble, too - a group of boys I grew up with. Xeno, York, Zayn, and Dax. We were a crew once. and we ruled the clubs. Separately we were insanely good; together we were unbeatable. F--king on fire. I was their girl, and they were my breakers. Until they did something they promised they never would: broke my heart. 

After the stunt my ex pulled, no one would blame me if I swore off men forever, especially one like Mr Jay Anderson, Hollywood’s sexiest heartthrob. Maybe undressing me with his striking blue eyes as I perform the safety demonstration on a flight to LA is normal behaviour for him. Maybe not. But I know one thing for sure, he should come with a warning label. Because once you meet a man like Jay Anderson, there is no going back.

I’ve never felt like I fit in, but that changed the day I met him. Liam West. He was larger than life, even back when we were kids. He protected me from every awful thing life threw at me, but somewhere along the way my fascination with him turned into something more. Something filled with pain. I’ve tried to put distance between us, but it never works. Liam will never let me get too far from him. All I can do is stay high enough to forget the hopelessness of it all.

I signed my life away to a filthy bratva boss, a beast I can never hope to tame, a man who wants to control every inch of my body and soul. What choice did I have? I was cast out of my family and traded to a mafia boss I barely even knew. Now, he's my possessive husband.

I fell for a woman for the first time in my life. I never thought the winds of Montana could carry in a storm like Isha George. She's stunningly beautiful. Years younger than me. Definitely a gold digger. She's charming, elegant—and my younger brother's girlfriend. When Isha sweeps into my life, I'm sure she's a tempest hiding behind a smile as bright as sunshine. And, she has her eyes on the prize—a piece of the Ledger Ranch. My ranch. So, I do what any good brother and ranch owner would. I steal her away and then proceed to break her heart.

My corporate kingdom is vulnerable right now. This is the perfect time for the enemy to strike. My gunshot wound doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is my wife. I'm haunted by the knowledge that she could be next. Gwen might have come to me through a twisted game of corporate revenge. It might have started as an arranged marriage, but it's become real. The only thing I can do to protect her is keep her near me. Except the danger lurks closer than I ever imagined.

I'm Beau Bodine, and someone's been keeping one hell of a secret from me. Mira Sen shows up out of nowhere and drops a bombshell: she's been raising my daughter—her niece—for the past two and a half years. A daughter I didn't even know existed. I should be furious, and I am, but Mira's sister—who recently passed away—had convinced her I didn't want to have anything to do with my kid.

Knox Ramsey is a pain in the ass. My egomaniac billionaire boss has been my biggest opp since the day he hired me as his executive assistant. So when he asked me to ditch my Miami trip for a last-minute business getaway, I gave him a firm, resounding hell no. His response? He called the airline, pretended to be my husband, claimed I died, and canceled my flight. I was ready to strangle him when he showed up at the airport--until he made me an offer I couldn't refuse: $100,000 to come with him.

Selah Bailey, an anxious, risk-averse, homebody determined to finally become the main character in her own story, created a list filled with goals and experiences to force her out of her comfort zone and introduce her to a life outside of her front door.

She's lived her life to a set of rules that she's certain will guarantee success. When a wrench is thrown into the framework of her steady routine, she has to work around it or... through it. As a journalism major, good reviews mean everything to her, so when nobody wants to take over the abandoned newspaper for the college football team, she takes the opportunity by the horns. Or, the helmet, I guess?

Wrong. Sinful. Taboo. I know I shouldn’t want him. I know I shouldn’t touch myself in the middle of the night as thoughts of him run through my mind. Thoughts of his kiss, his touch, his love. I’d spent years obsessing over the man I thought I couldn’t have. But as it turns out, he wants me too. And he wants me now.
