Alone for the first time after being married for twelve years, I never expected four younger men to tempt me with a good time. When I saw them dancing — and stripping — at Club Red, they filled my imagination with all sorts of filthy thoughts. The next morning, they turned up in my backyard as the landscapers I’d hired sight unseen. I’m wildly attracted to the men and their hard, toned bodies, and soon, I find out they’re interested in me, too.

After the most embarrassing moment of my life (a public and very unexpected "O" while riding on Logan Evans' shoulders!), the Evans brothers offer to take me on practice dates so I can get some experience with the opposite sex.

Everyone thinks I’m a villain. Do you know how hard it is to interact with your peers when everyone hates you? I’ll tell you. It’s nearly impossible. So I escaped inside my mind, and that’s where I remained for years. Until a dragonfly brought an angel to my bedside and pulled me into reality. Now I can’t find my way back. That leaves me with two choices. One, to exist in a world that despises me. Two, throw my life away and join my fellow sinners on the other side. I chose the second option. Or so I thought.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape him. No one can keep me safe. Every year on my birthday, he brings me a gift, each one having a detrimental effect on my life with unimaginable consequences. With every gift he offers, he claims another one of my firsts. Before I know it, he’s taken control of my existence, turning me into a nervous wreck, because when I turn 18, I know what first he’ll come for next.

City girl in Montana looking for her Romeo. Sounds like the start to a Hallmark movie right? Well, it would, if they had movies about idiot women flying across the country to marry a man they’d never met. That’s what I did. I responded to an ad in a newspaper that I found on the train. And now I’m trying to find Horseshoe Ranch so that I can marry some cowboy I’ve never even seen. And no, this isn’t the 1800s. I’m just desperate. To make matters worse, the cowboy doesn’t even know I’m coming. I figured life couldn’t get any worse in Montana. I was wrong.

The four annoying boys who were responsible for the worst moments of my childhood have grown into four irritating, hot-as-sin MEN. I try to ignore them but they torment me during the day and haunt my dreams at night. Oh, and did I mention...they're my stepbrothers. Adam, Matt, and identical twins Josh and Jake would be most girls' dream - but not mine. Sure, they're tall, dark, gorgeous, and successful, but I don't want them and I don't need them - at least that's what I tell myself, until I spend one mind-blowing week at their beach house.

So much had happened with the club and the people my brothers' loved. I thought we were for sure going to be getting a break from the chaos for once. After being in the military, I thought we deserved a break. Just like always, life didn’t believe we earned one. Hawk's sister showed up at the clubhouse one day out of the blue. I remember the look of pure exhaustion weighing over her soft features. She confessed that she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She was essentially homeless with no place to go.

After returning to the kings after completing the latest trial, my mates and I thought we might actually be able to take our next step in overthrowing them. Boy, were we wrong. Lupe has gone insane after he felt me die, Devlin is determined to seek revenge on Aaliyah who he deems responsible, and Ryland’s father is imprisoned for helping my people. To put the final nail in the coffin, I’m engaged to Axel—batshit crazy Axel with a penchant for sharp machetes.

I'm excited when I'm given a promotion to tour manager at Club Red—until I find out I'll be crowded into a van with four alpha-hole revue dancers, trying to keep them in line while they travel to other venues. Their bodies may be physical perfection, but the men are infuriating and frustrating, and they seem intent on pushing every one of my buttons.

Beau Hamilton is the biggest catch in Montana. He’s handsome, funny, and rich. As the oldest son and heir to one of the largest ranches in the state, he’s one of the most eligible bachelors around. And he knows it. His brother is marrying my best friend, and we’re both in the bridal party. He’s the best man, and I’m the maid of honor. I thought that he was a perfect gentleman until the night of the joint bachelor-bachelorette party. We did things that nobody should ever know about. Not even my best friend.

Why’d I do it? Because, I'm a nosy brat. I had to know what they were doing on Savage Mountain. Why were they hiding there? And when I found, out, I was sorry I’d snooped. Because, these weren’t the nicest of people. Although, they sure freaked nice. That made it hard to leave. Well, their tying me to the bed made it hard to leave, too.

Ever since my best friend scored two gorgeous, brawny brothers who attend to her every need, I’ve been on the lookout for my own twin beasts. Enter Alex and Lucas Wolf. Huge, identical specimens of male perfection. Easy on the eyes and even better in bed. Double the pleasure, double the...aggravation! Stubborn, domineering, and way too bossy.

Imagine…6'1", all chiseled goodness, accidentally punching you out into unconsciousness because this girl right here couldn't let the pucking douche of my ex hit the fine goalie in the face. That's exactly what happens when you decide to jump into an explosive brawl between two rival teams, thinking they'll stop if the coach's daughter gets involved.

Shane Flanagan is prince of the city and all-around badass, that is until he comes up against Arianna Rossi, the young spitfire with nothing but guts and determination on her side. They butt heads at every turn as they each battle for dominance. Who will be the victor in this tug of war as they circle each other while keeping their enemies at bay?

When I’m not a test pilot flying for the US Air Force, I can be found risking my life in other ways. You see...all these life-risking adventures are not just a hobby for me, not just a way to pass the time. I need the adrenaline rush like I need my next breath. I’m addicted to it. It’s the only thing that allows me to bury my painful past - even if only for as long as it takes for me to come down from the high. All that matters is that I’m able to forget. And every heart-stopping moment of it was working...at least, until she appeared back in my life.

Quinn Draper has always made me nervous. He’s the walking, talking opposite of my comfort zone, and he senses my insecurities so effortlessly that every inch of my body feels vulnerable when he’s around. Which is ridiculous. He might be my older brother’s best friend, but he doesn’t even know me. Never says more than two words to me. It’s almost like he knows it drives me crazy. And I hate him for it. Always have. Always will.

It was only meant to be a short trip - up to Chicago for two days and then back to Texas. At least, that was the plan until a massive snowstorm leaves me trapped in Chicago at a local hotel with no definite timeframe of when I can go back home. If that wasn’t a crazy enough turn of events - I wake up to a beautiful princess standing in my hotel room. She was definitely a sight to behold, but she’s not the least bit thrilled to see me - think Momma Bear finding Goldilocks lying in her bed type of annoyance.

After I spot the hottest man I’ve ever seen—tall, ripped, tattooed, and impossibly gorgeous—I spend weeks fantasizing about all the dirty, dirty things he could do to me. When we finally meet, I’m ready for the best one-night fling ever—until he introduces me to his twin brother! Unlike my besties, I’ve always thought two men were too much trouble. But Deke and Jake Abbott, leather-clad biker kings, might just change my mind.

In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it’s not a bullet that’s going to slay me. It’s Sabella, the woman who was promised to me—the woman who betrayed me. We’re heading down a path of destruction, but there’s no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she’ll stab me in the back again. She’s a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I’d eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I’m going to finish what I started, no matter the cost.

A visit to a strip club starts the wildest four nights of my life. Four nights that change things forever. In less than a week, I go from having zero experience with men to being teased that I collect them like some women collect shoes. First, there’s Garrett, my also-inexperienced IT department coworker who offers to accompany me to Club Red because he thinks I’m in need of a protector. Then there’s Trevor, a performer in the male revue show, whose panty-dropping dance moves are rivaled only by his playful and caring spirit.
