My crush is inappropriate as all get out, but I can control it as long as he stays away. Too bad he’s back now. Brian Pearson was my secret heartthrob for years. He’s retired from the Marines finally, and now he wants me to tattoo him. Can I handle being in his presence and putting my hands on his body? My crush on him started way before I even got my braces. I’m nineteen now, but I know it doesn’t make any difference. I’m a curvy, inexperienced virgin. Brian is a forty-two-year-old fox who could have any woman he wants, and he just so happens to be my dad’s best friend. When ...

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 ...

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 ...

When my friends play Cupid and match me with a silver fox savior at a Valentine’s texting night, they forget I swore off love a long time ago. Maybe twenty-one is too young to be done with men, but Mom’s string of ruined relationships has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve vowed to never ever to let anyone hurt me. Then Alex Whitmore, a dashing surgeon with romance on his mind, saves me from my stalker and vows to make me his. When I tell him it’s impossible, this possessive, chiseled doctor sends steamy, emotional, heartfelt texts that leave me hungry for more. My defenses go back...
