"You're mine now, Sofia. To protect. To cherish. To punish." His whispered words sent shivers down my spine. One day, I'm a struggling single mom designing suits. The next, I'm claimed by New York's most ruthless mafia don. Angelo Pirelli Jr. steps in when a rival threatens everything I love. But his protection comes with a price I'm not sure I can pay. I try to resist. God, do I try. But Angelo's touch sets my world on fire. One reckless night changes everything. Now there's blood on my hands and a secret in my belly.

Rule number one: Never steal from a mobster. Rule number two: If you break rule one, don't agree to be his fake wife. And the golden rule? Don't fall for the ruthless, irresistible mafia king who now calls you his. Because when you break all these rules, you're left with a shattered heart, a secret child, and years of hiding from the man who thinks you're buried six feet under. Self-preservation was never my strong suit. Marco Barrone wasn't just another mark. He was a predator in Armani, with eyes like winter steel and a smile that promised ruin. Dangerous. Magnetic. Lethal.

My best friend is missing. Now, so am I. Being held captive as an unmated Omega is just another event to add to my list of problems. And this time, there are no cookies, cakes, or macarons to distract me from the trauma. I can only hope that Landon, River, and Vincent are on the case, saving as many kidnapped Omegas as they can. But would they even bother to help me after I rejected them? What would three Alphas want with an insecure Omega?

A newly single dad, I wasn't looking for love. I wasn't looking for anything. Period. My son's mom had deserted us, I was trying to balance my home life with a football career, on the back of a Super Bowl win…and my rookie teammate was dragging my name through the mud. If I made it through my day without drama, I considered it a win. But fate had other ideas....

Aida was supposed to be a gift from her father. She was an apology for stealing from the wrong man and starting a war with the Russian mob. But I killed him and kept her anyway. Now the Russians want to use her against me. They’ll burn the whole city to the ground trying to take her away. I won’t let that happen. Aida’s all mine, from her pouty, delicious lips to her curvy hips. It doesn’t matter how many soldiers the Russians send at me, they won’t take what I protect.

A million-dollar paycheck to finally escape the grind. But instead, I've landed in a glittering world of high art, whispered secrets, and three men who refuse to let me go. Damien Voss Hawthorne is the impervious billionaire who lives for control—until I show him some things are worth surrendering. Theo Rourke, a fortress in a three-piece suit who hides behind walls—until I ignite the trust he's never given anyone.

As the newest "ice babe" for the Colorado Blizzard, I'm not too worried about breaking that rule. I know a thing or two about fending off hockey players looking to score. At least, that's what I thought...until I caught the eye of Blizzard captain and heartthrob Hunter Rockwell. No matter how many times I turn the troubled star down, he's convinced I'm just playing hard to get - and he doesn't care how much hot water his flirting lands me in.

Xander knew what it was like to be considered trash. And so... to keep his heart safe and guarded, he kept everyone out. Never letting anyone in. Sure... he let his brothers in the Soulless Outlaws Motorcycle Club in... but only so far. He knew what he was. Something that no one else wanted. Until her. Nola was cherished and loved. Then the unfortunate happens... Was it unfortunate? Or was it fate? And then, in the land around the Bayou in Louisiana, does she find the fairytale in books. The fairytale that very few are lucky enough to find.

Ophelia only wanted one thing this Christmas. And that was to make one of her daughter's dreams come true. Saint isn't known for having patience. Nor is he known for being a laid-back kind of guy. No, what he is known for is being the guy you go to when you need something done. The hardened-against-life biker is going to flip the script for the two people who own his heart and his soul. Alpha Men who fall hard only once... the rest... they don't matter.

Everyone tells me I need to get out there again. That I can't live my life with a permanent scowl on my face, jaded from my past, and not looking forward to my future. Dating is the last thing on my mind, especially when my beloved cafe can barely stay afloat. That's where Pack Axton comes in with an offer I can't refuse. Pretend to belong to Donovan, Liam, and Hunter. One has a heart of stone, one wears a thousand-watt smile, and the other is obsessed with me. If I can be the doting Omega to the three billionaires, my cafe and everyone's jobs will be saved.

What do you do when your worst enemies go down on their knees and invite you to the prom? I said yes because I'm still naïve enough to think that savages can be tamed. It's going to take a lot of groveling before I can forgive the Serpents for what they've done to me. I'm hoping this dance is their way of calling a truce. More likely, it's a trap. A school dance is the perfect place for them to orchestrate the ultimate public humiliation. Only one way to find out.

They took everything from me. Time to return the favor. A few months ago, I was just a regular nineteen-year-old girl. Now I'm trapped at a remote college and held at the mercy of three savage bullies. No one can see through the Serpents' Adonis-like disguises. Except me. I've never felt this alone before. This terrified. This...furious. These three murderers stole everything from me. They think the humiliation, the degradation, the suffering they've put me through has left me broken? Guess again, Serpents.

I’m afraid. I want things—to escape, to run, to be caught, held down and…I’ve come here to find the thing to quench my most sensual fantasies. When I see him—I know. He’s brutal and made of stone. An artist with his hands who keeps everyone at arm’s length. He’s the one I want—I need.

Do you want your fantasies to come true? When this simple question appears on her computer, Mia Daniels dares to answer "yes". One honest response sends the willowy brunette on a collision course with her every forbidden desire. Domineering and magnetic, Rafael Montalvo selects Mia to be his at first sight.

Armed with her newfound destiny, Sabine prepares to unravel the truth behind the sorcerer's bond and her vow to the Darkness. Her path toward revenge will not only require a crown, but a target on her back in a foreign kingdom. As she is trapped in the convoluted world of politics and power, Sabine may only realize the identities of those who truly oppose her when it is already too late.

They call them the Serpents. Knox, Mason, Silas. These sick, twisted psychos are the untouchable elites at Cinderhart Academy. I'd never get involved with such dangerous guys despite how gorgeous, rich, and influential they are. But after I witness them committing a sadistic crime, I'm dragged kicking and screaming into their dark, depraved world. If they plan to break me, they're late to the party.

Maya planned to come to the sand planet, find her missing friend Cat, and go back to her life as a stew on a star cruiser. But when she arrives, Cat is gone. That wouldn’t be so bad, but then her own chances of leaving the planet are destroyed. Now she’s stuck on the primitive planet, and someone is doing their best to keep her there—and hold her captive.

One minute, I'm running a macaron shop and nursing a broken heart, and the next minute, I'm holding search parties and raising reward money. But no amount of baked goods can bring her back.
