"Wren Whitney lives a remarkable life. She is a child of Beverly Hills, growing up in boarding schools, on private jets, a life of extreme wealth and privilege.
Wren lives for adventure. She is afraid of nothing. She says no to nothing. Her existence is a blur of escapades, outrageous stories, and the many men who love her.
Wren has never been in love. She has said the words many times, but she has never meant them. I love you is the only lie she's ever told. Except when she said the words to her girlfriends. But to a man? No. She will never mean those three words. Because that would be the end of the life she holds so dear.
Wren knows that the second she meets him, he will destroy her. That she will love him with everything that she is. Until her dying day. She tries to fight it, feebly. Because she is a woman who isn't afraid of anything.
Not even him.
Wren does not trouble herself by thinking about the consequences of her actions. Not considering the possibility that the events she's put in motion have let him into her life. She never could have imagined what would happen to her. To them. How utterly ruined they will both be by their love.

"Everyone's rock bottom is different. For Willow Watson, it's moving back to New Hope, Colorado. The town she promised herself she'd never set foot in again. The place she's forced to go back to when she has nothing left. Nothing but the family she abandoned.
And now she's back.
But hitting rock bottom isn't just about losing everything and being forced back to the small town rife with mountains, rugged beauty and awful memories. No, rock bottom includes entering town limits and realizing that the man she's hated for years, Brody Adams, her high school bully, is now the sheriff.
And he doesn't remember her.
Willow is making sure she steers clear of Brody Adams. Until the night he rescues her in a snowstorm and she's trapped with him, her memories and the realization that she doesn't just hate Brody Adams.
She wants him too.

"HANNAH: Beau Shaw is a Grade-A jerk. Working for him is hell. Living under his roof is worse. If it weren't for Clara, the little girl who's stolen my heart, I'd have walked away a million times over. But I can't leave her. She's given me warmth, magic, and a home I never imagined, even if I'm only the nanny. That's a fact Beau reminds me of every day. He shows me what I am—an intruder in their fragile little family. They've only just caught their breath after years of drowning, battling a disease that almost stole Clara's light. That battle took whatever heart Beau Shaw had and morphed him into what he is now. Hating Beau should be easy. Instead, behind his icy glares I see a father who almost lost everything—and a hunger that lights me on fire. If he touches me, we'll both be ruined.
BEAU: Hannah Morgan is off-limits. She's too young. Far too good for me. And she's my daughter’s nanny. Hiring her was my first mistake. But the smile she put on my daughter's face ripped away all notions of self-preservation. I'd destroy myself a million times over to give my daughter an ounce of happiness. Because there was a time, not too long ago, when I thought her smiles were numbered. I'd count her breaths, wondering which would be her last. I still live in the darkness of those days.
Hannah Morgan brings sunshine. Hope. But I can't let myself want her. Can't let myself hope sunshine is something I deserve. Make her hate me. That's the goal. Every day she's in my house, I lose my grip. She's stubborn, brave—she's magic. I can't have her. I shouldn't want her. And if I take her . . . I'll never let her go.

"My job is to break Piper Matthews. But to leave her breathing afterward.
An important distinction, since I don't walk away from a job without blood on my hands. That's how I like it. How it needs to be. I'm comfortable with death. Pain. Cruelty.
No conscience troubled me when I took Piper Matthews deep into the Appalachian woods, intending on fracturing her mind, destroying her.
I never imagined she would destroy me instead. With her smile. Her laughter. Her forgiving heart that isn't mine to take. The heart she gives me despite my blackened soul.
My mangled, ruined heart beats only for her. And the feral beast inside of me will tear apart all those who think they can hurt her.
Now my job is to take down the man who employed me to break her so he could own her. No one in this world will own Piper. No one will hurt her. Because that pleasure is reserved solely for me.

"There's a phrase: Still waters run deep. But there's more to it than that.
Because 'still' doesn’t denote peace. Nor calm. Nor happiness. It’s an illusion. It's chaos.
The only way to handle chaos is to become it. That’s what Lucy did. She created stillness out of the chaos tumbling inside her and called the most chaotic motorcycle club in the United States her family. The Sons of Templar gave her chaos, friendship, family, danger, and death. But she wouldn't want it any other way.
Then he came. The one who showed her that her handle on chaos was tumultuous at best. Showed her how to stand still.
And how good it could be.
And how drowning in those waters comes as easy as breathing.

"Words are my weapon. Stories wrap around my soul, choking me, capturing you. I don't work in dreams. I don't offer escapes. I cage you within my nightmares.
Magnolia Grace is a horror writer, despite what the name might suggest. One of the best in the business, if you asked around. Pressure comes with that title. Expectation for the next nightmare. The next bestseller. Sickness. That's what it is. She can't be healthy. Because that means she won't write. And she hasn't been writing.
A looming deadline and a crumbling psyche drive her into the woods. To a cabin which was the site of a grizzly murder. A serial killer, butchering women, toying with her. Her plan is to borrow some of the horror that seeped into the soil. But hers follows her.
The woods are meant to be her escape. But they are almost her demise. Almost.
He was an unlikely savior. An unlikely muse. He has horrors of his own. A motorcycle club looking to settle a score. A soul too broken to offer her anything but pain.

"Calliope Derrick is in trouble. Not that she'll admit it. She'd sooner go to her grave than ask for help—especially from a man. Wall Street's wolf in heels, Calliope built an empire, shattered egos, and earned a reputation as the woman who made grown men cry in their private jets. But after a betrayal that threatens everything she's worked for, she trades skyscrapers for lighthouses and flees to Jupiter, Maine. She tells her family it's just a break. A vacation. A reset. She's lying. She's here to plot revenge. Not to fall in love.
And definitely not with a charming fisherman like Elliot Shaw. He's not her type—too easygoing, too noble, too sincere. Or so she thinks . . . until she discovers the depths beneath his quiet strength. Until he begins to unravel the cold, calculated woman she spent years becoming. The carefree fisherman reveals a side of herself she never dared explore. And the more tangled up she gets, the more she realizes Elliot isn't just a temptation—he might be a lifeline. An anchor. To a better life. It may be too late to guard her heart, but she'll do whatever it takes to protect her family—and Elliot—even if it's from herself. Because Calliope knows one thing for sure, she doesn't deserve an easy life with a good man.

"Should I tell you a story? Not a fairytale, mind you. There's not a princess to be seen. Nor a prince. Not even a hero.
This is about the stripper and the outlaw.
Our story begins with the Sons of Templar MC, with a man even the outlaws fear.
He was trouble. More than trouble. A scoundrel. A sinner. A villain. To everyone but me.
Our story begins with blood, violence, and pain. I have a feeling it will end that way too. But it's too late for escape.
I've fallen for the scoundrel. The sinner. The outlaw.

"She survived the deadliest serial killer of her generation. Or so everyone thought.
No one knew how many pieces of her he took to the grave with him. She hid her scars, her nightmares. She hid everything until she couldn't.
Then she ran. But Colby followed her. He'd follow her to the ends of the earth. To hell and back. Sariah knew he would . . .
Because Colby had already wrenched her out of hell once. Because Colby loved her.
Only Colby loved the girl she was before. The carefree girl she used to be.
She had to show Colby that girl was gone. By any means necessary.

"The good girl falls for the bad boy. Can we name a bigger, or better cliché?
Despite my ideas about the deep misogyny associated with this particular one, I've somehow found myself in the middle of it.
Except, I'm not the good girl. I'm exceptional at playing that role. But I'm not. My secrets make sure of that.
And he's not a boy. He's a man. Older than me by decades. An outlaw. A villain. A member of one of the most notorious MCs in the country. The Sons of Templar.
More importantly, my stepfather is one of his brothers. That means I'm off limits. He's off limits.
But that doesn't stop us. Nothing will. Not until there's nothing left but the charred remains of the lives we once knew.

"Don't ask me how I got here, I don't want to lie to you.
I'm not a worldly woman. I'm not cultured, well-traveled, or well educated. I'm just a housewife. A mother. I'm the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house. If you saw it from the outside, you'd probably think I have the perfect life. You would most definitely be wrong.
But I don't blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden. Especially when it comes to love.
They say love is blind. But I'm more apt to say it's wretched.
Love is what made me stay. But love is also what saved me.
When I found him. The outlaw who saved my life without knowing it—until he found out the truth.
