Amelia Donovan might be the one to revive my blackened heart.

I found everything I didn’t know I needed. Accepted forgiveness I didn’t deserve. She fought for us. Killed for us. She was one of us. And there was no way I was letting her go…again.

The night we met, she was just another one-night stand. We were never meant to see each other again, and my best friend certainly wasn’t supposed to go and fall in love with her best friend. Collateral damage...she’s already broken my biggest rule when we hooked up for a second, third, fourth, and maybe a few more times. She’s everywhere I turn. I can’t escape her or the things she makes me feel. Thanks to my best friend wanting to do anything to make his girl happy, she’s the newest teacher at Knight’s Ridge College.

There's still plenty of work to be done to repair the damage my father caused. Now that another obstacle is out of our way, the Carson Ranch and the men branded to it will only become stronger. Fork River is full of secrets and deception. The past haunts us all, but when the truth is unearthed, justice will be served. I've made plenty of mistakes in the past.

I thought I knew who I was, where I came from, but my life is turned upside down when a stranger knocks on my door with promises that seem too good to be true. I should have run like hell and never looked back, but it’s too late now. I’m enrolled at Cadieux College, where secrets and deception line the walls, and the founding families rule without question. They all think I’ll be easy to use, to control, but I’m nobody’s puppet.

When my ex leaves me and my little girl penniless, the last person I expect to step in is my childhood sweetheart, Vander Moore. It's been years since he walked out of my life, and now he's barreling back into it, seeking redemption, and making me an offer I can't refuse--to become his new assistant. But everything has changed, including him. The broody, sinfully hot bad boy CEO doesn't trust anyone. Especially me. It isn't long before we're butting heads and fighting at every turn.

For years I’ve been content with meaningless one-night stands and zero promises for tomorrow. I had a good thing going, until he crashed his way into my life...and heart, and wrecked them both. Nico Cirillo.

I’ll do anything to protect them. Even if it means walking away. The Voronin brothers didn’t just save my life. They showed me what it’s like to be truly cared for, to be a part of an unbreakable bond. Which is why I have to do this.

Join these dark, dirty, and corrupt cowboys on the Carsons' ranch. Where boundaries are pushed, laws are broken, and limits get tested… I've loved Leia Walker for as long as I can remember. There was a time when I had her, and she was mine. But unearthed secrets left me with no choice but to let her go. Staying away from her ain't easy, but the truth would break her. And the consequences of it would be devastating. I tried to do what was best for her. Now she's married to a man she doesn't love. But when I learn she's in danger, I can't fight my instincts anymore.

Mikah Kade never wanted the Kade empire or the corruption rotting at its core. After years buried in government secrets in D.C., he’s finally home to claim what was always meant to be his: his land, his pack, and Gracie. But Gracie is no longer free. She’s been politically bound to the one man Mikah hates more than death. Gregor Kade. His father. The High Alpha. As Mikah digs deeper, he uncovers an empire built on council corruption and the brutal control of omegas.

They want an heir and I’m the only way they can get it. With or without my cooperation. I thought Cadieux Island would be a new beginning, but the privileged estates and elite college turned into a nightmare. My once tormentor and his twin brother somehow became my unlikely saviors while the grandparents, I didn’t know existed, lured me here with the promise of family have shown themselves to be the true tyrants.

Ranching isn't easy, especially on the border of Yellowstone. The days are long, the competition is ruthless, and there's always someone out there waiting to take what's yours. For my family to survive, things have to go back to the way they were. The Carsons used to run Fork River. We were feared but respected. My father changed that legacy by thinking he could run things legitimately. He lost our power, he lost our control, and he lost our respect. Now I'm taking it back…

I thought I’d already lost everything, but life has a way of proving you wrong. The moment I set my scuffed sneaker on Cadieux Island for College, my fate was sealed, but there’s no way I could have prepared for what was coming. I should have run when I attracted the Morningstar’s attention, ruthless twins that lord over the elite school and everyone in it. I thought I could handle them, or at least survive them, but now it seems I might not live without them.

Life on the Carson Ranch is never boring. We have secrets to unearth and scores to settle. What I'm about to do is gonna cause us a whole heap of fresh trouble. The Masons are my family's biggest rivals. They play dirty and don't like to lose. I will not let the girl I've loved my whole life marry into their family.
