Rule number one: Never steal from a mobster. Rule number two: If you break rule one, don't agree to be his fake wife. And the golden rule? Don't fall for the ruthless, irresistible mafia king who now calls you his. Because when you break all these rules, you're left with a shattered heart, a secret child, and years of hiding from the man who thinks you're buried six feet under. Self-preservation was never my strong suit. Marco Barrone wasn't just another mark. He was a predator in Armani, with eyes like winter steel and a smile that promised ruin. Dangerous. Magnetic. Lethal.

I turned him down… he bought the entire ballet company. I still said no… he blew hundreds of thousands on a night out for everyone. I gave into my lust… and he got me pregnant. His name is Alexei Federov, and he is a mafia kingpin. When he sees me dancing in a ballet performance, he forces...

Maya Lawrence knew that such a feat was impossible. That's why, when she got pregnant as a teenager and hockey star Christian Riley signed with the pros, she let him go.

Caught up in an MC war is no place for a wholesome kindergarten teacher. No place for an Angel. What if she sees the savage monster in me? But walking away isn’t an option. From the first touch, I’m doomed. Swallowed up by her goodness. Claiming Madeline is the only way to keep her safe. And make her mine.

What do you do when your worst enemies go down on their knees and invite you to the prom? I said yes because I'm still naïve enough to think that savages can be tamed. It's going to take a lot of groveling before I can forgive the Serpents for what they've done to me. I'm hoping this dance is their way of calling a truce. More likely, it's a trap. A school dance is the perfect place for them to orchestrate the ultimate public humiliation. Only one way to find out.

Nora Blake is used to chaos, but nothing could prepare her for Griffin Rhodes, the NFL's golden-boy quarterback, showing up at her daycare mid-game day with a five-year-old…and a job offer she can't refuse. Overnight, she's thrust into a world of locker rooms, flashing cameras, and three irresistible men who make her question everything she thought she knew about love.

Aida was supposed to be a gift from her father. She was an apology for stealing from the wrong man and starting a war with the Russian mob. But I killed him and kept her anyway. Now the Russians want to use her against me. They’ll burn the whole city to the ground trying to take her away. I won’t let that happen. Aida’s all mine, from her pouty, delicious lips to her curvy hips. It doesn’t matter how many soldiers the Russians send at me, they won’t take what I protect.

My best friend is missing. Now, so am I. Being held captive as an unmated Omega is just another event to add to my list of problems. And this time, there are no cookies, cakes, or macarons to distract me from the trauma. I can only hope that Landon, River, and Vincent are on the case, saving as many kidnapped Omegas as they can. But would they even bother to help me after I rejected them? What would three Alphas want with an insecure Omega?

He's old enough to be my father. He might be the one who killed my boyfriend. And I can't resist him any longer. Not only is my boyfriend dead, but he left me with a sizable loan in my name to a mafia boss. When Dimitri Federov, a handsome, loaded Russian playboy, appears on my doorstep, I panic...

What happens when you have a drunken one-night stand with your childhood best friend? I'll give you a little hint. Two pink lines. I've been in love with my best friend Beau Cunningham since… well, forever. Only, risking losing him isn't an option. He's the person I can call when I'm at my lowest; the one who pulls me out of the darkness. I have to live with the fact that he will never really be mine. Until one drunken night changes everything. I wake up next to Beau, and do what I do best when faced with confrontation. I run.

Used as a pawn in her father's war, Sabine spent her life captive to the King of Novear, her will commanded by a siphoning crystal. When she wakes up in the hands of her enemy, Sabine realizes her father committed the ultimate betrayal: a ritual bonding her magic to the Prince of the Solstice Kingdom. When the assassination fails, Keahi promises Sabine the one thing she will live for—revenge.

They say I should’ve died in that explosion. Maybe I did… because the man staring back at me in the mirror sure as hell isn’t the heir to the Gemini empire anymore. He’s a scarred, savage thing held together by pain, rage, and a hunger for vengeance. And now they’ve sent her, this fiery, foul-mouthed redhead with zero self-preservation to babysit me. I should hate her. But the longer she stays, the more her hands aren’t just stitching up my wounds… They’re breaking through my armor, awakening a fire I swore was dead.

As the newest "ice babe" for the Colorado Blizzard, I'm not too worried about breaking that rule. I know a thing or two about fending off hockey players looking to score. At least, that's what I thought...until I caught the eye of Blizzard captain and heartthrob Hunter Rockwell. No matter how many times I turn the troubled star down, he's convinced I'm just playing hard to get - and he doesn't care how much hot water his flirting lands me in.

I thought being taken by the Bratva would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I was wrong. Everything changed the moment Dominik Morozov decided I was his. The rules. The danger. The way his brother started looking at me like a problem that needed to be erased. Gavriil Morozov is...

They took everything from me. Time to return the favor. A few months ago, I was just a regular nineteen-year-old girl. Now I'm trapped at a remote college and held at the mercy of three savage bullies. No one can see through the Serpents' Adonis-like disguises. Except me. I've never felt this alone before. This terrified. This...furious. These three murderers stole everything from me. They think the humiliation, the degradation, the suffering they've put me through has left me broken? Guess again, Serpents.

Everyone tells me I need to get out there again. That I can't live my life with a permanent scowl on my face, jaded from my past, and not looking forward to my future. Dating is the last thing on my mind, especially when my beloved cafe can barely stay afloat. That's where Pack Axton comes in with an offer I can't refuse. Pretend to belong to Donovan, Liam, and Hunter. One has a heart of stone, one wears a thousand-watt smile, and the other is obsessed with me. If I can be the doting Omega to the three billionaires, my cafe and everyone's jobs will be saved.

Do you want your fantasies to come true? When this simple question appears on her computer, Mia Daniels dares to answer "yes".

Armed with her newfound destiny, Sabine prepares to unravel the truth behind the sorcerer's bond and her vow to the Darkness. Her path toward revenge will not only require a crown, but a target on her back in a foreign kingdom. As she is trapped in the convoluted world of politics and power, Sabine may only realize the identities of those who truly oppose her when it is already too late.

One minute, I'm running a macaron shop and nursing a broken heart, and the next minute, I'm holding search parties and raising reward money. But no amount of baked goods can bring her back. The Alpha Investigative Bureau is my last resort—three handsome detectives who are too busy to deal with one little Omega's troubles.

I need his darkness, like he needs my light. After surviving an abusive relationship, I swore off men.
