Betraying the most powerful man in New York wasn’t something I ever envisioned when I first started playing games with Winston Constantine. But he’s engaged in far more dangerous games than ours, and his enemies are out for blood. Winston has my heart, the Morellis have incriminating photos, and I’m left with nothing except three stepbrothers who want to hurt me and a future in doubt. I knew Winston wouldn’t be my prince charming, but that didn’t stop me from falling for him. After all, the slippers fit, and I let myself believe I’d be dancing with Winston forever.

Money can buy anything...and anyone. As the head of the Constantine family, I’m used to people bowing to my will. Cruel, rigid, unyielding—I’m all those things. When I discover the one woman who doesn’t wither under my gaze, but instead smiles right back at me, I’m intrigued. Ash Elliott needs cash, and I make her trade in crudeness and degradation for it. I crave her tears, her moans. I pay for each one, and every time, she comes back for more. When she challenges me with an offer of her own, I have to decide if I’m willing to give her far more than cold, hard cash.

On the surface, the world glitters with all things only money can buy. My thoughts should be on the danger lurking beneath the surface. The money and power come from places and dealings the world pretends don't exist. I'm here at this debutante ball as a representative of the new Sparrow underworld. The clock is ticking as alliances are formed and enemies eliminated. There isn't time to be distracted, and yet I catch a glimpse of the stunning woman across the room.

Layton Acox, reich, mächtig und gefährlich charmant, betritt ihre Welt mit einem verlockenden Angebot - und einem dunklen Geheimnis. Doch in seinem Spiel aus Rache und Macht steht mehr auf dem Spiel, als Dylan ahnt.

She better run, or my darkness will take over.

Although widowed attorney Hope Kendall cares deeply for president of the Lost Kings MC, Rochlan "Rock" North, the truth is they come from completely different worlds. Add to that the fact that they are also both headstrong people, and they have a very rough road ahead of them.

Si sono incontrati solo una volta, ma Daniel non può dimenticarla: la sconosciuta di cui non sa nulla, incontrata per caso, con cui è stato amore a prima vista. Un amore, tanto breve quanto intenso, nato a condizioni ben precise: durerà solo un'ora, sarà solo finzione e i due non si scambieranno i nomi né vedranno i loro volti. Quando tutto finisce e la ragazza scappa via come Cenerentola, Daniel cerca di convincersi che quello che è successo tra loro era perfetto solo perché fingevano che lo fosse. Il grande amore, in fondo, esiste solo nelle favole.
