It’s impossible, but there he is, walking across the street… toward me. Luke Hart, the tech billionaire and my crush. Is this a dream come true or a dream I will wake from? The man I’ve crushed on since I was a lonely kid, obsessed with programming, says he’s chosen me for a programming opportunity. Good things don’t happen to people like me. There’s no way this is real. Right? Luke is a billionaire, a tech mogul, and a cybersecurity specialist. My idol. My dream man. I’m nineteen, nearly homeless, with no one to turn to but my trusty laptop after my roommate’s boyfriend ...

Revenge is a dish best served steamy. When I break things off with my boyfriend, I hope it will be peaceful. The truth is, I’ve been crushing on his dad ever since our so-called relationship began—not that I’ve told anybody. Ryan gets vicious and cruel with me when I end things. He tears down my self-esteem like he enjoys it. So when I’m out with my bestie, and we see his dad, Duke Harrow, we have an idea. Date him for revenge. Try to seduce him. It seems ridiculous at first. I’m half his age, inexperienced, on the curvier side. Seduction? Heck, I’m a virgin. He screams out of ...

My world is ruled by the law, but my heart is drawn to the one man who lives above it. The last time I saw Troy, I was a kid heading off to college with dreams of going to law school like him. I thought he was just a successful lawyer and my dad’s best friend, but that’s far from the truth. Turns out Troy is a mob boss, and my dad is his closest business partner. I became a lawyer to abide by the law, not break it, but the heat in his eyes has me wanting to break all the rules. Now we are on the run after a deal gone wrong. The sickest thing is, part of me is actually enjoying the ...

The choice is simple: Marry the bride my father chose or let the city burn. I chose fire for her. The King is dead, and it’s time to take my place on the throne. I may not be a good man, but I’m not a bad man like my father, the previous Pakahn. He played his son like a puppet, but I’m done playing by his rules. I’m supposed to marry and unite two Bratva families. I have my bride, but she has changed everything. The first time I saw my Lia, I knew she was mine, but I knew what this realization meant—war. They think it’s a threat, telling me the city will fall if I don’t do ...

It’s only ever been a crush. But after a night of steam, he leaves his mark on me forever. I’ve always tried to keep my crush secret and pretend I don’t feel this deep, burning passion for my brother’s best friend. They say timing is everything, and boy, do I believe it now. With my brother gone, it’s just Rust and me alone for the night. With a storm raging outside, we lose control. It’s so wrong, but we can’t stop. After, his tattoo on my skin is all that remains. I try to forget, but there’s no ignoring this. That night changed everything. Soon, we won’t be able to hide...

This crush won’t quit. It’s inappropriate as hell. I’m all grown up, and he’s back in my life. My mom’s ex. The man she hates. He promised my dad he’d always be there. After Dad passed, Jaxson was true to his word, swinging by when I was younger. Before the fallout. Before whatever happened between him and Mom. My bet is they slept together, and the thought makes me sick. Jaxson gave us his number… in case of emergencies. Well, Mom’s crazy ex definitely counts as one. Jaxson comes and handles the problem. He’s got everything a girl could want in a man, even a shy girl—...

He’s everything I ever wanted. Yet loving him could ruin my life. When I was a kid, Landon Cross was my hero. He took on Mom’s case pro bono so that we could stay together. I never forgot about him. He was an inspiration to me. Ten years later, he’s in my life again, more mature, silver in his hair, but just as tall, muscular, intense, and most definitely just as handsome. We meet during work, so I have to stay focused. I’m a social worker, and my case is becoming dangerous. Worse, my bosses know Landon and tell me he’s bad news. But when he reveals that he only has months left to...

My life is way too messy for her. I already have too much mayhem between the dog sanctuary and the Mob, but I just can’t let her go. When I follow my dog across town one night, I find Maya standing at her window with a treat and a smile. Immediately, I’m interested, but my life is too dangerous. Then she walks into my dog sanctuary, Tristan’s Tails, looking for a job. I’m struggling to stay afloat as it is. I should tell her no, but I can’t. Is it because she’s curvy, beautiful, young? I’m not a playboy. I’ve got a dark past and have had some terrible experiences. I ...

When I was a kid, he was my hero. I never would’ve dreamed he was a secret mob boss with darkness in his soul. Years after my encounter with Killian Callahan, the man walks into my bakery. He teases that meeting after so many years is fate. It isn’t funny to me. Each time he visits, my crush grows more intense. When a gangster tries to shake me down, Killian intervenes, revealing who he really is. Ruthless. Violent. Possessive. It scares me... and makes me want him more. Killian warns me to stay away. “Innocent, beautiful virgins like you aren’t meant for a life like mine. Yet, I ...

With my aunt's medical bills piling up, I can't afford to say no to this payday: pretend to be a mob prince's fiancée, plan a fake wedding, and keep my emotions out of it. Simple, right? The only hitch? I'm falling for him. Dario Moretti is everything I’m not—wealthy, refined, and dangerously charming. He belongs to a world of luxury and power, while I’m just trying to stay afloat. I never imagined I'd start caring about him, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that this is all just a job. Dario’s gaze lingers a little too long. His touch sends shivers...

He’s a mafia hitman, the only one who can save me, all because of a lie I told. Since Colt Walker gave me his number, I haven’t stopped thinking about the mysterious and dangerously attractive man. In a moment of desperation, I lie and tell him I’m being stalked, not expecting him to take it so seriously. Now, his protectiveness is off the charts, and his steamy texts are driving me wild. But I’m living on borrowed time with this secret. I’m out of my depth. He’s older, experienced, and carries an aura of authority I can’t resist. As someone who’s never been with a man, the ...

Logan Wolfe is the crush I thought I’d left behind. We shared a single kiss so greedy and hot that I ran off to college. I’ve finally returned home, and now he won’t let go. I'm ready for a new beginning at my dream job as a copywriter, where Logan Wolfe, my brother’s best friend, is my boss. Despite our working relationship, our texts take a steamy, taboo turn. Once we start, we can’t stop. When Logan sees something he wants, he takes it. He’s tall, handsome, grumpy, and, most importantly, off-limits. Giving into the texting temptation would mean breaking my big brother’s ...

This is my dream job—and I can’t afford to risk it. But when the single dad kisses me, resisting him becomes impossible… Gray Aldridge is everything I shouldn’t want: tall, handsome, and impossibly confident. With silver streaks in his hair and a smirk that could undo me, he’s the very definition of off-limits. But when he hires me as his live-in nanny, our connection becomes impossible to ignore. His daughter, Emery, is the sweetest little girl I’ve ever met, and I love making memories with her. Falling for her father? That’s a recipe for heartbreak—for all of us. Yet the ...

My crush has come home just in time for Christmas, but wanting him could mean breaking my big brother’s heart. Asher Mitchell is still the Scrooge I remember from when I was a kid. I decide to get my own back for all the teasing, but my pranks lead us to forbidden places. When we kiss, I know it’s wrong. When he calls me Snowflake and his icy exterior begins to melt, I want more. Our secret could ruin everything. It should be a relief when our company gives us anonymous cellphones for the Secret Santa scheme, a break from my brother’s best friend’s obsessive attention. As we text, ...

I thought I had died inside a long time ago. Then I saw her. She’s not a kid anymore. I almost lost control and made her mine. Too bad she can’t be. It’s been six months. I’m trying to pretend nothing ever happened. Yet now I’m trapped in a cabin with the woman of my dreams and her dad, my best friend. It’s so wrong. I almost entirely claim her voluptuous body at her graduation party. I’ve done my best to lose myself in my work since, but I made a mistake. I crossed the wrong man. Now he’s threatened the only people I care about: Mike, my best friend, and his daughter, Emma....
