"From bestselling author Lucy Smoke comes a new dark mafia romcom full of high heat, hilarious banter, and a marriage-of-convenience love story, perfect for fans of Butcher & Blackbird and Rook & Rebel.
Daisy Turner is a broke, single recent college graduate who would say yes to just about anything if it helps her climb out of the pile of debt she's in. Which is why she agrees to fill in for her roommate as a waitress catering a high-end private wedding. Her expectations are low-at most she'll get a small stack of cash and a free meal, right? Wrong. Bad luck has a way of finding her, and so it's no surprise that she would become an accomplice to a murder. Okay, not an accomplice but definitely a witness.
Turns out the wedding is an arranged marriage between two rival crime families, and the woman who died was supposed to be the bride. As the sole witness and the only living, breathing woman within feet of the angry and ruggedly handsome soon-to-be husband, Daisy knows she has to do something. Unfortunately offering to bake him a sympathy casserole isn't what he was looking for. Sorry for your loss, also not good enough. She's sure he'll kill her on the spot but instead he shakes his head and gives an ultimatum.
Death or marriage.
Of course Daisy chooses to marry the man. Marriages can be annulled, but there's no coming back from death..."
"It was only supposed to be one night … until they decided they couldn’t let me go. Dex, Cody, Darren, and Taylor dug their way into my heart on one cold winter night. Now, years later, we’re practically inseparable. Spring break was supposed to be our first real vacation together. A cruise with all the sun and fun a girl could ask for. That is … until Dex’s family crashes the party. I hate hiding my relationship with all of the guys almost as much as Dex’s mother so obviously hates me. There’s no way I’m going to let her or Dex’s nosy brother drive a wedge between us. I came to play, but now I might lose it all. This Volume Contains the Following Titles: Spring Break: A Steamy Contemporary Reverse Harem Lucky Break: A Steamy Contemporary Reverse Harem

"The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave.
Only…she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be.
She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother.
But pawns don’t fight back the way she does. They don’t violate my sanity the way she does.
She put herself in the mouth of the beast.
I wanted her out of the way, but now…I can’t let her go.

"Isaac Icari—the God of Hazelwood University—my stepbrother, my lover, my enemy. It was dangerous to let myself be swept up by him, but he’s a drug that I crave. I should have walked away the second I realized what he was involved with, when he revealed who his father truly was. Now it’s too late. We should have known better. Get too close to the sun and you get burned. I have no one to blame but myself. He is my downfall, and I am his."
"I don’t know how it happened.
One moment I was standing outside the diner fumbling with my car keys, and the next a bag was placed over my head and I was put in the back of a car.
Who would want to kidnap me? I’m a nobody, a good girl, just doing my best to make ends meet.
Afraid for my life, I beg and plead until I come face-to-face with my captor.
Ace is a brute of a man with strong hands, green eyes, and a dark smile that makes me weak in the knees. Everything about him screams DANGER.
It’s all kinds of wrong to look at him and get swoony, but I can’t help it.
When I find out the reason I was taken I’m certain he’ll kill me. But when he kisses me instead I know he’s never letting me go, and that’s almost as terrifying as death."
"My name is Jamie Houston, and if there’s one thing I can’t catch, it’s a fucking break.
Of all the people in the world to get snowed in at the library the night before a big exam, it had to be me. I must have pissed off karma or something because there is no way being trapped. Alone. In the dark. With not one, not two, but FOUR sexy athletes can be a good thing. Especially not when they make the most outrageous bet. Who can please me the best? Puh-leaze.
I’m not an easy girl. I’ve got plans for myself. Graduate and become the best journalist I can be. I don’t have time for one boyfriend, much less a whole harem of them. No, thank you. But one night? I can probably swing that. So long as no one gets attached.
I’ve got ninety-nine problems, but heartbreak isn’t going to be one … or is it?

Six years ago, I made a mistake. The worst mistake I could have ever possibly made. I fell in love with the wrong person and … I told him.
Ryan’s always been with me ever since I can remember. It’s been the two of us—side by side. Through every new beginning, every new ‘family’, and every failure. Is it any wonder that the love I had for him turned into something different—something deeper? Something utterly rotten? And is it any wonder that he hates me for it now?
Ryan
I’m a damaged soul, and she’s the only thing that’s ever held me together. But the one woman I want is the one woman I can never have.
She thinks I hate her for her confession, and maybe a part of me does. What I hate more, though, is that I have to push her away to keep her safe. That I have to pretend like I don’t f**king want her when she’s all I’ve been able to think about for the last six years.
We’re no f**king Romeo and Juliet. We’re much worse than that. A love like ours was doomed from the start."
"What tangled webs we weave . . .
He's everything I don't want. A playboy. A beast with a cunningly gorgeous smile. Faces like his only mean one thing. Somewhere underneath all of that handsomeness, there lies a monster.
And if anyone can sense a monster, it's me.
I understand cruelty. I've lived and breathed it my entire life. I existed on the 'charity' of others until I realized that it wouldn't be enough. My demons would soon be set free. They were coming back for me and to be ready for them—to be ready for him—I needed to make myself invincible.
But it's not enough. If I'm going to survive then I need to make an alliance with a monster of my own: Abel Frazier.
Contains mature themes."
"Rule No. 3: Never let anyone think they can hurt you and get away with it.
I thought I'd seen and felt the worst of it, but there's nothing worse than betrayal.
Corina knows who's behind what happened to me and she may think hiding will keep her safe, but after everything that's happened, nothing can keep her safe from me and the Sick Boys. She's a pawn in all of this, but I'll get that information even if it means I have to cut it out of her—piece by fucking piece.
This little charade is about to end. They thought they could drag me down into the dirt and grind my soul into the dust. What they failed to realize is that there's nothing left of my soul and I don't mind getting a little dirty if it means getting my revenge. I may have let her fool me once, but there's no way in hell I'll let her fool me twice.
After I'm done with her, I'm going after the big boys.
Contains mature themes."
"Rule No. 2: Show no fear.
They're vile and twisted.
The only thing more fucked up than the Sick Boys is me, and I'm ready to show them.
The Sick Boys are hiding something from me. They want to pretend like I didn't kill my rapist and they didn't help. But we're not ordinary college students, that much has become clear to me, and I'm growing tired of all of the lies and secrets.
Their masks are cracking and finally, I'm starting to see the grotesque reality underneath. It's far darker than I ever expected, and it's not enough. They know everything about me, so now it's my turn. I fear nothing. Not them. Not the man that I killed or the people who set me up.
Fear is for the weak and I, Avalon Manning, am anything but.
Contains mature themes."
"Rule No. 1: Don't piss off the Sick Boys
They're cruel. Reckless. Impossibly fucked up.
The Sick Boys feed on the order they create. They rule Eastpoint University just as their families have for decades. But their power doesn't stop there. The three of them are heirs to some of the largest fortunes in the world, and behind that kind of wealth lies an underworld of corruption.
On the surface, they're perfect princes and he is their King. But underneath it all, they're filled with blood, lies, and secrets. With all of their connections, they have the power to crush anyone who gets in their way. But just because they're as warped as I am doesn't mean I'm going to give them a free pass.
Because I, Avalon Manning, bow to no one, and I live to break the fucking rules.
Contains mature themes."
"Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right.
I never expected that leaving the refuge of Corvallis would result in such dire circumstances. When rogue rovers commandeer our airship, I'm left with an impossible choice. Stay and risk my life to save the others or let them be captured along with me.
Just because a choice is hard, doesn't mean it's wrong.
There's no question. I choose them. Even if it means I arrive on Bath as a prisoner and slave. Bath is more dangerous, perhaps, than even my home city of Tartarus. Rogue Rovers. Black market slavery. A strange girl with a dark secret. I find myself dropped right back where I started. Alone and helpless. There are no friends on Bath, only alliances and I need to be very careful who I choose to align myself with. And what I promise them in the name of freedom."
