I KNOW EXACTLY HOW I'LL PUNISH HER.
She was looking for a getaway ride to safety when I caught her trying to steal my bike.
But when I took one good look at her porcelain skin and luscious curves…
I live life on the edge—fast bikes, loose women, and more money than I count.
Tina was on the run and looking for a getaway ride to safety.
But she just had to try stealing my bike.
At first, I went after her to get back what’s mine.
But that was before I took a good look at her.
Those innocent yet defiant eyes.
Her perfect pale skin.
Her curvy body that I want pinned underneath me.
Nobody steals from me and get away with it.
I’m going to drag her back.
Tie her to the bed.
And teach her the consequences of stealing from me.
And once I’ve owned her curves.
Tamed her mouth.
I’m going to take everything else and make her MINE.
***
The last time I saw her, I destroyed her world. This time, I won’t let her go.
Some things that should have changed didn’t.
She was mine once, and she’s mine now.
I was a fool when I threw away what we had
But I won’t make that mistake again.
Heading home wasn’t part of my plans.
I was looking for good liquor and bad girls
I didn’t expect to run into her though.
The last time I saw Miranda, I destroyed her world.
To her, I was bad news and she wanted nothing to do with me.
But as hard as she tries to push me away, I can see it in her eyes.
The look that tells me she wants it just as badly as I do.
She’s right not to trust me.
But some things that should have changed didn’t.
She was mine once.
And she is mine now.
I was a fool who threw away what we had, but that’s a mistake I won’t make again.

A broken-down life going nowhere.
A gun and rough hands pressed against my back.
And his harsh voice with a proposal to die for…
SIERRA
Life was one unending struggle and there was no little hope of being saved.
I had no prospects of getting out of lawless rural Nevada.
Until Colt showed up, took me, and never looked back.
He makes me feel like no other man has.
His hands leave me begging for more.
And when I couldn’t take anymore
That’s when his strong arms pull me into him.
His hard voice echoing that same word over and over.
“MINE.”
COLT
I took her by force.
I thought I’d leave her like all the others I’ve left behind.
But somehow, Sierra got me to stay.
And that’s when all my troubles started.
That’s when I had to choose:
Stand by my woman, or leave her for my brothers.
Time is running out and she’s in line to become the next victim.
All because of me.
I want to keep her, I have to come to terms with my present, bury my past, and find a way for my future.
Our future.
I was left a prisoner to the worst people in the world.
He was my only ray of hope. The only man I’ve ever loved.
We swore to keep each other safe.
Even if it means both of us doing the unthinkable.
Six years ago, they gunned my father down in the streets like a dog.
Ever since that day, I was left a prisoner to the worst people in the world.
My only comfort came from Jake. He was my best friend, my rock, my one reason to live.
He’s the only man who could make me forget all the terrible memories.
Who makes me feel whole.
He’s my best friend, but I want something more.
I just hope that he’ll see it.
Before it’s too late.
Before the Bleeding Angels take away what little hope and dignity we have left.
EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM SCREAMED DANGER
ERINA
But one glance swallowed me whole. And he’s the only one I can depend on.
I’m not supposed to be here.
I’m not supposed to be in his bed.
I’m not supposed to be slipping into every touch…
Especially when he might be the man who murdered my brother.
But every time those dark eyes land on me…
… I can’t help hearing his voice:
“Make no mistakes. You’re MINE.”
RHYS
Out here, you work hard, you bleed, and you keep your oaths. It’s the only way to survive.
So what the hell am I supposed to do when this blonde little vixen ends up on my plate?
I’ve never considered myself weak. Not after three tours through hell and back.
But she’s sweet as sin, and it’s hard to say no when you’ve already made a deal with the Devil…
Except the Devil is after her, too.
Unless I make her MINE first.
***
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS.
ABBIE
I thought I knew what I was doing. But that before King claimed me.
Under his chiseled, tattooed body lies ruthlessness I can’t even comprehend.
But when he stares into my eyes…
I can practically hear him snarl.
Feel his rough hands on my curves.
Scarred body pinned against mine...
Hard voice echoing in my ears:
“Never forget. You are MINE”
I’M THE LAST THING SHE NEEDS.
KING
But I'm her only chance at getting out of this alive.
I didn’t plan to bring Abbie into my life, but now that she’s here, I’m not letting go.
She has no idea about the storm on the horizon. No idea how much danger she’s in.
She can try to run.
She can try to hide.
But she needs to understand:
I will find her and drag her back.
Lash her to my bed.
And make her MINE.

A CLUB TO SATE YOUR DARKEST PLEASURES WAS THE LAST PLACE YOU’D EXPECT TO FIND A GIRL LIKE ME WITH A MAN LIKE HIM.
It was supposed to be an adventure. Anonymous. No chance that I’d ever see the other person again, especially not in a big city like New York.
Or so I thought before Alexander Blankenship—the filthiest playboy on Wall Street—became my feature story.
He was the same man who made me submit to his touch at the club, who made me beg, who left my legs watery and weak by the end of the night.
I’m supposed to find out everything I can about him. What his favorite color is. How he likes his coffee in the morning.
Who he’s been f****** and where.
But the moment I step into his office.
The moment those doors click shut.
I know I’m in trouble.
His dark eyes cut right through my clothes and tell me that he wants to play.
Right here.
Right now.
