She was a shy little virgin, looking to rebel. I was a bad accident waiting to happen.
I’m the bad boy your parents warn you about. I’ve been to prison, killed for someone I love, and now I’m suffering through college.
Then I see her … sweet, so naïve it hurts, and of course beautiful. She’s scared of me the moment we lock eyes, but beneath that fear is curiosity.
From that moment on I’m consumed with a need to make her mine, to claim her … but when my past collides with my future, will I risk the chance of going back to prison to protect yet another person I love?
They call me “the Devil.”
Deranged and violent. Gorgeous but frightening. I’m a businessman, so when one of my debtors offers me his fiancé in exchange for a debt settled, I figure why not? The woman will be a quick sell. Repayment comes in the form of a beautiful but haunted young woman. The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. I want to hurt her. I want to break her. I want to keep her. Luckily for Celia, she fails to see that there is no goodness in me. And when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence and sweet, naïve heart, I thrive to show her the cruel monster I am.
This is a dark mafia romance that contains non-con/dub con, graphic violence, and sexual themes. It is not a standalone novel and ends on a cliffhanger.
She was a tiny little lamb that claimed my heart with one fearful look. I was her captor, the man responsible for breaking her, for preparing her for auction. She was taken, plucked right off the street, and brought to me to be sold at the next auction. Rescuing her from my men was never part of the deal, and neither was bringing her up to my room.
Yet, night after night I did this, refusing to give up the way she made me feel. When I’m with her I feel less like a monster. I can remember the man I used to be before the mob got to me, before all the bad tainted my soul. But wanting her is forbidden, and keeping her unthinkable. If they find out what I’m doing they’ll kill both of us. And still …
I want to save her. I want to love her. I want to cherish her. When the time comes, will I be able to let her go? Or will I risk both our lives for a love that I may not deserve?
She was my enemy … I was her new captor …
She was a tiny little temptress of a woman that made my blood sing for vengeance. I should be punishing her, breaking her from the inside out after finding her in my father’s clutches. But when I discover the truth that she is just as much of a victim of my father’s wrongdoings as I am, I can’t follow through.
I know then that I can’t break my little mouse. Not after she’s lured me in with her big blue doe eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and those pink painted lips that beg to be kissed again and again. I don’t think things can get any better, but then she makes me an offer I can’t refuse: her body, her virginity, and her complete submission. And she wants only one thing in return: help finding her sister.
What she fails to realize is that even after helping her find her sister, I can’t just let her go. She knows too much. She’s become a liability. But I have a plan to make certain she’ll never leave or escape me. A plan that involves filling her womb with my filthy seed until I make certain a piece of myself sticks, a plan that will make her the queen of the Rossi Empire.
She needed protection from my family … I needed protection from her heart …
She was my ex-best friend’s little sister. Shy, gorgeous as hell, and did I mention completely off-limits?
Well, that is until she lands on my doorstep begging me for protection from my brother. She has no idea the kind of world she’s walked into, or that I’m no better of a man then the one searching for her.
But when she offers me her v-card—the last thing she has in exchange for protection—I can’t deny such a tempting offer. She’s everything I want, and everything I can never have.
When my brother finds out she’s under my protection and that I’ve been hiding her right under his nose, he gives me an ultimatum: marry her, or kill her. And since there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her die, I decided to make her mine … forever.
They're coming for her, but first, they'll have to go through him.
Grace was his first love, his forever, and then he lost her. He'd spent years watching from afar, knowing he could never have her again. The violence, the hate, and pain owned him. It took all the good away. It took her away. The mafia was the only thing that could curb his violent tendencies. Choosing to let her go was the hardest thing in his life, but he wanted her to be happy, safe, protected.
Then everything changed. The moment someone tried to hurt her he knew he had to step in. Grace might not have been his, but she would always be under his protection.
With his enemies coming for him, he knows they'll do anything, kill anyone to get their revenge, and with Grace being the most important thing to him, he will have to do whatever he can to protect her even if that means bringing her back into his dark and dangerous world.
The mafia owns his soul, but she'll always own his heart.
She was a broken angel that had the light beat right out of her.
He was the man responsible for her life, her protector ...
He never expected to fall for the fragile woman, with soft eyes, and lips that begged to be kissed.
He knew what she saw when she looked at him, a ruthless fighter, a man with a broken past, too far gone to be reached, sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.
Still, somehow her light reached him, the innocence inside her called to him and the moment her soul touched his, he was tamed, ensnared in her love.
But love comes at a cost, and in this world, you pay with your life. With all the surrounding danger, he doesn't know if he can protect her. Not only from himself, but also from a past that refuses to let go.
The bet was simple. You draw a name from the hat. That’s the girl you have to seduce. The girl you have to make fall head over heels in love with you. It wasn’t hard for him to do, in fact, it was something he did all the time. He was known for breaking hearts. Sex was just that, sex. And it didn’t take him very long to get a woman on her back. And then he drew her name: Jules Peterson. His former best friend, first kiss, and first love. She shattered his heart into a million pieces three years ago. She left him right when he needed her most. She had entered his life once again, at almost the perfect time. She was a transfer, fresh meat, and she had just put a target on her back. It was his turn to make her pay and break her heart. Holding onto that hate, that anger, that f*cking heartbreak—it does something to you. It breaks you, and it broke and tainted him, just like he would do to Jules. She used to be his everything, but now she was nothing but a bet.

He was more than a bully, he was what living nightmares were made of. It started as a childish game played between two friends, which ended in heartbreak. She knew him once. A long time ago they may have even called each other friends. That was before she moved away, before her mother married his father, and before an entire life fell apart. She lost friends, popularity, and a future. This was supposed to be a fresh start, but it was real life hell. Vance Preston used to be a poor boy with a soft smile and kind eyes. He used to be her friend. Now he’s God’s gift to women (his words not hers), disgustingly handsome, and filthy rich. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, and hurt whomever he wants. No one can stop him, and no one dares to. He might as well be god. He dares her to defy him and fight back. He promises he won’t stop until he hurts her. But she’s not afraid, because you can’t break something that’s already broken.
He’s the popular jock everyone loves. Funny, gorgeous, and a flock of girls to choose from. But she’s the bullied and antisocial girl no one notices. She has no friends and she likes it that way—until he walks into her life. They shouldn’t be friends, they definitely shouldn’t be roommates, but that doesn’t stop him though. When friendship blooms into something more, she’s not sure if she should hold on or let go. She’s hiding things, secrets so dark, and deep. If he ever discovers them she is certain he won’t want her anymore. But as she falls harder and harder for him, she starts to wonder if maybe she judged him too soon. The popular jock and the girl that no one notices can’t possibly have a happily ever after it, can they?
For the last ten years, he never stayed with a woman longer than it took to screw them. But then she walked in. Back then she was nothing but a little girl, but now she’s all grown up, with curves, and a smile that reminds him of everything he’s spent the last ten years trying to forget. His attraction to her is instant, and wrong, on so many levels. He’ll do anything he can to stop it, even make her hate him if he has to. She’s here to study, and he’s the newly appointed dean. He shouldn’t be tempted by a student, especially one who’s ten years younger. And he definitely shouldn’t be developing feelings for her, but he is. Because as badly as he doesn’t want to admit it, Lily just might be the one person to make him fall in love again.
Three brothers set out for revenge, to avenge one man’s wrongdoings. He killed everyone they ever loved, stole their world, and nearly killed them in the process. So as the three brothers waited and watched, they took his most treasured possession—his one and only daughter. They knew she was innocent in the war, that she didn’t deserve rage or violence, but they didn’t care. Nothing would stop the brothers from getting justice for their family. Until something changed … and her cries of fear turned into cries of pleasure. Slowly, she brought them to their knees, making them fall for the enemy. But feelings aside, someone had to pay for the damage that had been done. Blood had been drawn, people had been killed, and Jessa, no matter how they felt about her, would be the one to suffer.
