A recluse. A Billionaire. That's who I am. I haven't wanted or needed anything in a long time, especially not a woman. That is until my eyes lock on a beautiful woman who shines brighter than a diamond, standing on a platform, waiting for men to bid on her for a date as part of a charity auction event. It's something I wanted no part of until my business partner forced my hand. Now the only goal I have is to take what I want and what I want is Nessa Taylor. I'll make sure none of the vultures circling her get a chance. She's mine even if I have to play dirty to have her.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move. She was too young. Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals. It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine. When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off. I'm done holding back. I make my move, ready to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves. I won't let anything stop me. She's not getting away again. I'm going to make her mine.

I know what I want and what I want is Tallulah Jennings anyway I can have her. Tully wants to keep our relationship a secret. She thinks my name attached to hers will make the people in our small-town talk. And not in a good way. I'm biding my time. One day soon she'll have my last name, be the mother of my children, and they'll be no more hiding the way we feel for one another.

Tulsa Rose has gone through hell and back. We have a complicated history, becoming her guardian after a family tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg. I sent her away. It was the right thing to do, even if she felt like I turned my back on her. The truth is, she was a temptation I couldn't have. She was way too young. Now she's home, ten years later. I want her more now than I ever did. Too bad she hates me. It doesn't matter. I'm not walking away from her again. She belongs to me, she always has. I'm staking my claim once and for all.

A wife. Happily ever after. That was never in the cards for me, not with a past like mine. Everything changed when Millie entered my life. The no labels I demanded on our heated encounters became meaningless when she threatened to walk away. There's only one thing a man can do when he realizes the woman he loves is going to leave forever.

I always get what I want and what I want is Amelie. One month after leaving, my only thoughts were of the woman I left to protect. Thoughts of her consumed me night and day, pushing me to work harder and faster in order to have her back in my arms. The need to protect her from my own blood, a father who would ruin me and anyone that means anything to me in order to further his political career.

When a friend asked me to hire his youngest daughter, I had reservations. Yet, I needed a secretary. So, I said why not. Sometimes being a good guy backfires on you. This is definitely one of those times. Fawn is younger than me—way too young. She's also a walking fantasy that tortures me daily with images running through my mind of all the dirty things I want to do to her. I need her so much I can taste it. I try to resist, but once I see the hunger in her beautiful eyes, it's over, just like my bachelor days.

Josie has always been the ultimate forbidden fruit. When I first laid eyes on her, she was a tempting, wet dream that just appeared in my home. That sounds perfect, but she was there as my son's girlfriend. It also made her completely off limits. It still didn't stop me from tasting her. One touch, one taste wrapped up in a stolen moment that never should have happened marked me for life. She's my guilty secret that I've privately been obsessed with. I mean hell, it's been years and I still think about her. Now, she's back.

Tory Baker presents Book 4 in the Rowdy Johnson Brothers series.

Life can change in a damn instant. I should know that. Mine did the moment I walked through the front door of my penthouse and found Danica on her hands and knees cleaning. One look—that's all it took. I saw her and I wanted her on her knees for an entirely *different* reason.

If there's one girl out there I shouldn't mess with, it's Stormy. Everything about her screams off limits. She's too young, hurting from being screwed over, and my niece's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. But this girl is the biggest temptation I've ever had. That's anything but good—especially in the small town we live in. When her world is turned upside down on what was supposed to be her wedding day, I come to her rescue.

The moment Asher Fontaine's gaze met hers, something deep within him stirred—something he hadn't felt in years. She wasn't the kind of woman who needed him. She wasn't the kind of woman who needed anyone, it seemed. Lennon doesn't need a man like him—someone who keeps his distance, hiding behind his career and a past of his own. But the more he watches her, the more he craves the warmth she unknowingly offers.

Ronnie is everything Jude didn't know he was searching for—wild, fearless, and the addiction he'll never quit. The more he learns about her, the deeper he falls. Their connection burns fast and fierce, impossible to ignore. Every late-night gaming session, call, or text ignites a spark that pulls them closer. With her, for the first time in Jude's life, love seems possible. Just when he thinks everything is falling into place, his past comes crashing into his future. Turning his world upside down. But will Jude know what forever feels like, or will it be too late?

Raven was a dancer at one of the clubs the Diamondbacks own. As their VP when things started going sideways with our manager, I came in and Raven stepped up to the plate, helping us out. I took one look at her and I knew she was special. She may have deserved better than me, but I wasn’t about to let anyone else have her. When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am. Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady—it’s forever.

As president of the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, settling down never occurred to me. I have my club, and that’s all I needed. My mind changed with one look at the dark-haired beauty in need of help. Persephone Chapman should have been dead; the fact that she has the grit and determination to survive is exactly what I want in an old lady. It’s more than that, though. It’s the softness in her touch and the way she makes even a hardened man like me long for more. She deserves to be cherished, and I’m going to make sure no one hurts her again. In fact, I’m claiming her as mine.

The last thing Dr. Luke Camden should be thinking about is her. There's something about the way she looks at him. Soft and sinful, eyes dark with desire, sliding over him in a slow, sensual way, holding him hostage every damn time. It makes him lose all sense of time. She's intoxicating. She's off-limits. She's his patient. Some rules are meant to be broken, and he'll break every last one of them if it means having Shae as his.

Johnny Gonzales let her walk away from everything they built and everything they were. Winnie left me to fix something—someone—she couldn't save, and I refused to help. When she packed her bags to leave, I didn't chase her. Now she's back, years later, looking just as beautiful as the first day I met her. I'm slammed back to the time when she was mine and the feelings I thought I lost come rushing back. I'm speechless, I'm pissed, and I'm trying to figure out why she's in Whispering Oaks.

I wasn't prepared for Delilah Taylor. Settling down was never on my radar. Almost getting caught with my mouth and hands on her body were definitely not in my plans. Now that I've had a taste of her, I'm rethinking every single f*cking thing.

Kingston Thomas knows better, he shouldn't want Tessa Drake. That doesn’t stop him from going after her once she's home from college. She's forbidden fruit, off-limits, and un-freaking touchable, she's also my daughter's best friend. I walked away the first time years ago. She had her life ahead of her, I wasn't going to be the one to screw it up. Now she's back seeking a job at my law firm, all grown up in one delicious package and I know I won't be able to keep my hands off of her.
