His name is Dex. He's huge, terrifying, and has an edge to him that I shouldn't find intriguing, but I do. He's also the enforcer to a rival family, and my current prison guard. Dex wants me. I can see it in his eyes. Feel it in his innocent touch. He could break me with ease. But he hasn't. Instead, he's threatened to cut off any hand that dares to try. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he cares about me. But blood means everything in this world, and we're on opposite sides of a war. After all, I'm the Romano mafia princess. He's nothing but an Allegretti.

Riding shotgun to face my boyfriend wasn't exactly on my bingo card... Especially when the man behind the wheel is the one my boyfriend demanded I cut ties with. Griffin Thorne is LAU's hockey captain, my brother's best friend, and my roommate. He's also the only person I can rely on at the moment, even though he hates me after I followed through my boyfriend's...suggestion. To be fair, I get it. Why he hates me. In a way, I hate me too. But as long as this impromptu road trip stays our little secret, everything will be fine. Maybe. Hopefully.

I should’ve told Milo. That I loved him. That I was pregnant. That I didn’t want anyone else, except him. But I didn’t. Instead, I left. I ran. Now he’s here, in the hospital after I delivered a baby girl he’s convinced belongs to him. But the truth is, I have no idea. I’ve sacrificed so much to keep my past hidden. To keep my baby safe from her other potential father.

In the blink of an eye, Kingston Romano’s entire world has fallen apart. His sister is in the hands of a rival mafia family, and his only hope of getting her back is by making a wager that includes the mysterious Acely Mezzerich. Unfortunately for King, his feelings for Ace only escalate the longer he’s around her, muddling his conscience as well as his arrangement with the enemy. And if has any hope of saving his sister and keeping Ace, he needs to execute it perfectly.

I didn't know who Dove's sister was when we first met. I didn't know that I'd been fooling around with her for a few months before Dove walked into my life. I didn't know that—if I've done the math correctly—I could be the father to her sister's child. But I do know this. Dove has the voice of an angel, and the heart of one too. I might not deserve her, but I refuse to let her go. She doesn’t know that I was with her sister before we met. She doesn’t know that her niece or nephew could be my freaking kid. And even though it kills me, I can’t let her find out.

Levi McCoy took me under his wing when we were kids. He was my protector. My best friend. My everything. And I was sidekick. We stayed close, even when relationships and life in general tried to tear us apart. Years later, he landed an internship at Montague Enterprises, competing with my childhood nemesis, Conner Daniels, for the final coveted position. That's when things got messy. The two bargained for the official job offer, using me as their pawn. And I fell for it.

I've been asked to compete in an online gaming championship and I can almost taste the victory on my lips. But then my assistant coach arrives. I can't get distracted. Not when I'm so close to achieving my dreams. My eyes are on the prize. But I can't help but wonder...is my focus on the right one?

Hockey-Star Colt Thorne flüchtet vor einem Skandal an die Los Angeles University, nur um einen noch größeren zu riskieren. Denn Ash, die atemberaubende Fremde, die er zum ersten Mal an einer roten Ampel sieht und die ihm seitdem nicht mehr aus dem Kopf geht, ist niemand anderes als die Freundin seines Mitbewohners – und damit absolut tabu. Als wäre das nicht genug, wird Ash auch noch als seine Nachhilfelehrerin auserkoren. Colts Verstand weiß, dass sie off-limits ist – denn der Golden Boy, den Ash will, würde sich nicht nach der Freundin seines Freundes verzehren.

I've always been a routine kind of girl. Baking in the morning, going for a run in the evening, in bed by seven since I'm always up at the butt crack of dawn to - you guessed it - bake some more. Just. Like. Clockwork. Then my new neighbor ruins everything. My sexy new neighbor. My sexy new neighbor who happens to visit my bakery every morning with a cocky smirk and a suggestion that I butter his biscuits. Yup.

Sway I'm broken. There. I said it. But the truth is simple. If you don't let anyone get close, then they can't hurt you. And I'm tired of hurting. Then I meet Anthony. I never expected him to slip past my defenses. We were just fooling around, but now that I've fallen, I'm terrified to tell him the truth. And no matter how much he fights me, it won't change reality. He deserves so much more than a broken girl with a thousand cats and a past she refuses to acknowledge. He deserves the real deal. And I can't give it to him.

Walking down the aisle toward my arch enemy wasn't exactly what I was picturing when I planned out my dream wedding as a little kid. But as I take in his chiseled jaw and sexy smirk, I remember why I agreed to this sham of a marriage. It's because I'm a glutton for punishment and love a good underdog story, and the more I get to know Liam, the more I can see that he's exactly that. The underdog. I just hope I'm not wrong about him.

Liv had her life all figured out until it was shattered by the loss of her husband. He left her a piece of him she hadn’t planned on. How can she pick up the pieces when she doesn’t know where to begin?

To be fair, Derrick wasn't technically my boss when we first met. He was just another average Joe who had a habit of turning my stomach into knots. The real problem started when we ran into each other during my interview and he made the mistake of telling me he didn’t date employees. I was already attracted to the tall, dark, and handsome he was sporting, but now it’s like he placed a giant piece of chocolate cake in front of me and told me not to touch it. What else does he expect me to do?

I never wanted to see Nathan again. Ever. One highly educational night with him in bed was all it took to hand over my v-card. Apparently, that was all it took to get him to move across the country without even a backwards glance. Our best friends are getting married and I've been asked to play nice, but I can't promise he'll make it through the weekend in one piece. The only problem is that I'm not sure my heart will survive, either.

Moving in with my little sister's best friend isn't the brightest thing I've ever done. In fact, I'm pretty sure you can have me committed for accepting the offer. I've been in love with her for as long as I can remember, and I've been able to keep my hands to myself for all these years. But now? Now, she’s moving on without me, and I’m scrambling to keep up without letting her slip through my fingers, though she’s always been just out of reach.

Sein Name ist Dex. Er ist riesig, furchterregend und hat etwas Gefährliches an sich, das ich nicht faszinierend finden sollte, doch das tue ich. Er ist auch der Vollstrecker einer rivalisierenden Familie und mein derzeitiger Gefängniswärter. Dex will mich. Ich kann es in seinen Augen sehen. Ich fühle es in seinen unschuldigen Berührungen. Er könnte mich mit Leichtigkeit brechen. Aber das hat er nicht. Stattdessen hat er gedroht, jedem die Hand abzuhacken, der es wagt, es zu versuchen.

Regel Nummer eins: Immer den Kopf unten, aber die Augen offenhalten. Es macht dich unsichtbar, aber nicht ahnungslos. Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass ich beim Kartenzählen erwischt werden würde. Insbesondere in einem Casino, das der Mafia gehört. Aber ich bin verzweifelt. Und in Zeiten der Verzweiflung sind drastische Maßnahmen erforderlich. Jetzt befinde ich mich im Keller des Casinos, mit einem überdimensionalen blauen Fleck auf der Wange und dem Versprechen, dass das Familienoberhaupt, Kingston Romano, mir bald einen Besuch abstatten wird.
