Aurora Bianchi will stop at nothing to make herself a widow. Max De Luca will rue the day he married her. Having taken her rightful place as don, Aurora is ushering in a new era in the Bianchi family. Clearing the organisation of traitors, declaring war on those who betrayed her, and destroying anyone who stands in her way. The Bianchi Bastards risked everything to save Aurora and stand at her side. They may be prepared to burn the world down for her, but she will annihilate anything that threatens them. Together, they will avenge the fallen, and Max De Luca will die for his sins.

Cyra of Fernweh is perfectly content to spend her days making wine on her family’s vineyard after being left there as an infant twenty-two years earlier. Those in the outer lands are not especially hospitable to anyone with magic, so only her brothers know that Cyra uses her meager elemental gifts to light stove fires and water crops around the vineyard. When her life is threatened one day, however, Cyra draws on a much greater magic she didn’t know she possessed to save herself. In doing so, she accidentally lands herself in trouble with the Triumvirate Lords of Thasia.

This city has been ruled by the five families since before I was born. Now, Wicked Falls Elite is ruled by their sons. Everyone hates me here but none more than Briggs Weston, and he has vowed to make my life a living hell. Briggs is as gorgeous as he is unhinged, sinister, and untouchable. But if he thinks I’m going to bow down to him without a fight, he is in for a rude awakening.

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. He wants money to repay the debt. Money I don't have. The prick offers me a solution—pay with my body. I turn him down flat, but the indecent proposal remains in my thoughts, forever reminding me of what could have been…

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.

I hate everything about her. The sounds of her soft-spoken voice, the look in her always guarded eyes, and the way she pushes her too-big glasses up her small nose. I despise it all and now I can’t get away from her. Elliana Montego is my new stepsister, living in the room next to mine. She is there when I wake up, she’s there at school, and seemingly every other place. I just can’t get away from little Elli. I guess the only thing I can do now is make sure she is as miserable as I am.

I’ve got one month to convince her to be my wife. Until I laid eyes on Sophie, I never planned on marriage. All that changed after our hot night together in Vegas. Now she regrets our impulsive Vegas wedding and is demanding a divorce. But I’m not signing the papers. Hell no! I’ll give up every single one of my womanizing ways for a woman like her. Sophie thinks I’m only infatuated with her looks, except I see how everyone underestimates her. I’m not intimidated by her wealth, her modeling career, and the trail of broken hearts she leaves behind her. What we have is different.

I ran into a werewolf at a grocery store. The moment our eyes met, he decided I was his mate. Now he's trapped in his furry form, threatening every other guy who so much as looks in my direction. His friends try to convince me that I need to stay in his house until he goes human again, but I refuse. So he shifts back. And the giant of a man—er, wolfman—basically carries me away himself. This werewolf is hunting me, and honestly? I'm a very willing victim.

Surgeon by day and mob doctor by night. There's almost nothing she can't handle except maybe the man who's been assigned to deal with her stalker. It was so much easier pretending her dad's best friend wasn't everything she'd ever wanted before he became her permanent shadow.

I live my life head over heart and never rock the boat, which is how I wound up engaged to Bryan Davenport—the biggest mistake I ever made. We were a power couple, but no one knew how cruel he could be behind closed doors. When I decide to leave, my fiancé shows just how ruthless he can be and sends me running to the last person I expect: his best man.

Sacrificed to maintain the fragile peace between her family and his, only Aurora Bianchi can sate Max De Luca's desires and keep his darkest depravities under control. But now his father wants complete control of The Syndicate… and she's an obstacle to their plans. A pawn her husband is forced to sacrifice.

I thought the cocky Vandar raiders I had to work alongside were my biggest problem. That was before the deranged leader of a ruthless band of mercenaries decided I belonged to him. As a member of the underground Valox resistance, there are few things I fear. The terrifying alien outlaw who’s obsessed with me is one of them. But now my biggest problem isn’t the alien searching for me, it’s the Vandar battle chief assigned to take me to safety.

My older sister ran away from home to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage with the mafia family blamed for her mother's death. Now, that burden has fallen to me. Eighteen and sheltered, my life has only ever revolved around the familiar comfort of the tennis court. I've always been shielded from the brutal realities of my father's world, protected from his enemies. Enemies like Lochlan Dunne, who my father now wants as an ally.

I’m afraid. I want things—to escape, to run, to be caught, held down and…I’ve come here to find the thing to quench my most sensual fantasies. When I see him—I know. He’s brutal and made of stone. An artist with his hands who keeps everyone at arm’s length. He’s the one I want—I need.

When I took a vacation to Mexico, I never could have imagined the deadly game of hunter and prey waiting for me… Kidnapped by the cartel along with my friends, I’m thrust into a brutal world where survival depends on submission. Matias, one of the cartel’s most feared enforcers, also known as the wolf, is tasked with breaking me. He’s wild, untamed, and fixated on me. Every instinct screams to hate him and resist, but he’s relentless, stalking me like a predator. In the midst of this nightmare, I begin to see another side of Matias beneath his savage exterior.

How can the four men who stole me from my life be the same men who saved my life? And in the aftermath of that terrible night, where do we go from here? I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know who to trust. All I know is that someone wants me dead. Someone is plotting in the shadows. The men vow they’ll keep me safe, but all of them are bound by duty to deliver me to Damian Novak, no matter what the consequences.

The alien prince is on the hunt for revenge. And buying me is part of his master plan. I was safe hiding on the outskirts of the galaxy and singing in a dingy nightclub. Until the menacing alien prince with the platinum hair and claiming gaze bought my debt. Now I’m traveling on his ship as his guide while he searches for vengeance. Despite the prince’s promise to protect me, he has no idea what he’s set in motion by plucking me from obscurity. As we get closer to him exacting his revenge, I’m in danger of being taken by someone even more deadly.

My father was once a powerful player in the Chicago underground, but six years ago, he left that life behind. We changed our names. Our identities. Our lives. The ghosts of the past never forgot him, though. They never forgot me. Dad promised me we were safe, but I should’ve known that was just another one of his lies. The past always finds you, and mine finds me on my wedding day when four brutal, dangerous men drag me from the altar in a hail of gunfire. Four men who used to be four boys. Four boys I cared about. Four boys I left behind.

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.

I’d go anywhere for her.... Even to Kingmakers, the most brutal college in the world. Where mafia heirs are trained to control, dominate, infiltrate, and kill. I followed Anna because she’s my best friend. I’ve always been right by her side. She needs me to protect her. Especially from Dean Yenin, a Bratva heir with a lethal grudge. He plans to take everything from me. Starting with Anna....
