The hot stranger, who gate-crashed my party and almost came to blows with my boyfriend and my other lover, is my loathsome new stepbrother. Ares delights in telling me he’s named after the God of War, as he threatens to ruin me. Not sure what I have done to deserve his instant hatred, but whatever.

Everybody has their own journey, their own story. Surviving the Regalo project is only part of mine. You know that saying, "Desperate times call for desperate measures." That could be the next chapter in my life. I never thought I'd call the Alpha Alliance and ask for assistance, but here we are...

It's been three years since the guys and Wren have finished their revenge plans. Life is different than it was, and Oliver is achieving a lifelong dream that he never thought he'd be able to. This is an extended epilogue that's meant to be listened to after Books 1–6 of the Ruthless Desires series.

Chase Dawson is back in Autre for Christmas, and when he runs into brainy, beautiful alligator conservationist Bailey Wilcox again, he’s determined to make good use of the mistletoe.

Three brides have been given to me: Niamh is as delicate as the careful steps she takes, Selene is as challenging as the secrets she’s trying to unravel, and Amira who has been lost to me. Someone has taken her and that fool does not realize that a King never forgives or forgets. Blood debts must be paid and the collectors are knocking on doors. The Hand himself keeps the ledger and my name has been written in red.

Mari Marcosa always knew she would die young, so being left to bleed out on a warehouse floor is no shock to her. But as the blood seeps from her body, her thoughts aren’t of the Marcosa empire she's ruled for years, or the city she's given everything to protect. It's on the three men who’ve stood by her side:

Falling for three hitmen has changed Wren’s life in every way imaginable. She’s never felt so cared for and cherished, but she still hasn’t gotten over the fear that came with getting swept into the guys’ last job. When Elliot, Rhett, and Oliver have to leave town for a few days, Wren opts to stay home, too worried she’ll end up in danger if she goes with them. The guys take precautions to keep her safe, but they miscalculate just how desperate some of their enemies are for payback. Alone, Wren gets kidnapped by a man who only cares about one thing: avenging his brother’s death.

Being my best friend's maid of honor meant I had to promise myself I would stay away from her hot older brother. Let's just say I'm exceptionally good at breaking promises... not once, but thrice. Wynn Beauchamp twirled me in his arms, and I saw stars. He had been the subject of all my teenage fantasies. And it wasn't just because he was a rockstar. Wynn had a way of making me feel like I belonged to him. But he wasn't the only one... His irresistible bandmates had me falling for them just as hard.

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. The guys’ enemy wasn’t supposed to gain the upper hand. But now Elliot, Rhett, and Oliver have been captured and separated by Ludo Holloway. If they make one wrong move, the consequences will be disastrous. The only thing they can do is comply with Holloway’s wishes and do their best to secretly find a way to escape. Wren barely managed to get away from Ludo’s men, and now she’s desperate to bring the guys back home. The problem is, she’s quickly realizing that she’s massively underprepared to save them.

Being in their enemy's inner circle has never been easier for Elliot, Rhett, and Oliver. Not only have they earned Ludo's trust, but Wren's friendship with Aubrey has turned out to be more beneficial than they ever could've predicted. Still, there's no room for celebration. Not when the constant threat of something happening to Rhett's brothers is looming over everyone's heads. Tension is running high as the guys form a plan to finish things once and for all. Haunting pasts, familial pressure, and mounting anxiety all come to a head as Ludo and Aubrey’s wedding approaches.

I’ve been in love with Rian Walsh for as long as I can remember. He has held many titles over the years. He’s my brother’s best friend. One of the Bastards of Grove Hill—part of the Five Families. He’s also responsible for every single time my heart has been broken.

Sure, I’ll admit it. Women have come and gone from my life since I was in high school. They’re nothing more than a warm body to sink into at the end of a long day. Even though I’m upfront about not being interested in a relationship, there are always a few persistent females who think they’ll be the one to change my mind.

Willowside was my childhood summer escape, but I never planned on coming back. Now, as a struggling Omega artist with bills piling up, I don't have much of a choice. Grandma said this gig would be easy—paint a portrait for a wedding organized by a new planner in town. Quick cash, nothing more. But easy? Far from it. The bride is a total Bridezilla. The only upside? Her brother and cousins—Bernard, Finneas, Hugo, and Jude. All Alphas. All compatible with me in a way that makes staying in this sleepy town way more tempting.

After a brutal battle for supremacy between opposing Yakuza syndicates goes south, gun violence explodes in the Tokyo underground and quickly spreads throughout the city. Desperate to curb the influx of firearms, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is forced to seek help from Interpol.

Emery Robert’s life is everything she wanted: married to the love of her life, with a good job, and plans for a family in the future. But when Emery’s husband dies tragically, she is the one who stops living. Three years later, at the age of 30, she’s still struggling to move on. Friends are encouraging her to date again, while her in-laws want to keep her in the past, trapping Emery in the middle.

I've had my heart crushed more times than I can count. Swearing off men was the best thing I ever did. The second best—taking a job waitressing at The Firken bar off campus. My grumpy boss is nice to everyone… except me. Which shouldn't bother me, but it does. Darren is handsome, mysterious—and even more unavailable than I am. I've gotten over my ghosts, but he's still chasing his. I thought after years of working in close proximity maybe, just maybe, we would finally cross that line. But almost kisses don't count, not even off the clock.

Bad boys... am I right? Can’t live with them... can’t live without them. At least that’s what I thought before my life turned sideways the night Rafe Crimson walked into it. Now here I am, stuck in a holding cell with a broken werewolf and a war brewing. Just peachy, right? You’d think I’d learn my lesson.. but at least I’m the monster now.

Koven never thought he could catch the attention of a god. But after pulling off a daring theft from a noble house, he becomes too irresistible for Celdric—the god of mischief—to ignore. Claimed as one of Celdric's vassals and granted the power to control shadows, Koven is whisked away to the Cenobium, an academy for those marked with the divine blood of the various Athearian deities.

Ramses' plan is dark. It can get darker, but not only am I here for it, I'm so ready. It's time to bring some justice in this town. It's time to open some f--king doors and be a voice for someone who didn't have one. My sister, Paige, didn't get to tell her story. What happened to her was covered up, and I'm going to prove that.
