Vaughn is the rugged, single dad CEO who’s ready to get down and dirty to get what he wants. And what he wants… is her. I used to live a life of leisure, with caviar, champagne, and a closet full of designer clothes. Now I’m working two minimum-wage jobs, wondering if I’ll make rent next month. And it’s my own fault. The last thing I need? Some self-important patron at the restaurant where I work to look me up and down with those ice-blue eyes, lift an arrogant eyebrow, and tell me to run along and fetch him his sandwich.

I was raised to be invisible. Kept hidden, protected, untouched. A pretty thing locked away from the world of men—and from the truth. Then the King of Ireland's criminal underworld claimed me. He rules with blood and fear, a man whispered about in back rooms and prayed against in churches. He doesn't ask. He takes. When his empire is threatened, mercy is a weakness he can't afford—until I become one. Now I belong to the most dangerous man alive. His captive. His obsession. His wife. There are no escape routes from a man like him. No bargains. No safe words.

I only expect a single night of playing pretend. I don’t expect every detail Rufus has told people about his fake fiancée to be me.

Many things have changed while I've been in prison. The Family has been decimated. Our enemies have gotten bolder. My brother has taken the reins as the new Boss. But one thing hasn’t changed: my loyalty. So when I’m released from prison only to be shackled to the daughter of our organization’s biggest traitor, I agree. My new wife has taken oaths to love, honor, and obey. I don’t want her affection. I don’t need her honor. But I will gladly take pleasure in her body. I will force her to carry my child. And I will have her obedience.

Bonnie Delmar is one month away from homeless. Taking a temp nanny job for Manhattan's most intimidating billionaire isn't the plan — it's the last resort. One month, one paycheck, and she's gone. Then the elevator doors open, and she's face to face with Arlo Noble. The man from the best night of her life. A night he, clearly, does not remember.

Humans lie. I learned that lesson once before. I thought I found a mate, but she betrayed us all. I won't let that happen again. Not even when I find Sia and four other females nearly dead on a defunct planet. Not when the lovely female is remanded to my custody. She's not being honest about what she knows. But with a little pressure, a little punishment, I might get her to talk. Teach her to obey. Find out all her secrets. Because every human needs a master. And I won't allow any other being to be hers. Sia belongs to me now.

My brother warned me. Don’t touch Branch Best. They might be teammates and best friends, but Branch is a heartbreaker. The smirk. The swagger. His playboy reputation is well earned. So obviously, I was drawn to the red flag like a wide receiver to an end zone.

I've been called a lot of names. Depraved. Monster. Unhinged. I never thought I'd see the day someone called me "husband." Me? Have a wife? It's a terrible idea all around, but once I saw her, there wasn't a chance in hell I was walking away.

THE BIG BAD BULLY DOESN’T FALL FOR HIS PREY. Even if she smells like nutmeg, honey, and sin. Even if her chaos and color drips into your black-and-white discipline—and leaves it bleeding. I was raised in a pack that worshipped bloodlines and power. Humans were beneath us—soft, fragile, fleeting things. Fine for entertainment. Never for mating. Especially not for me, heir to one of the most ruthless alphas in the world.

But when he turns his eye on me, I know I should run. I should definitely hide. But it’s already too late.... Because, when Carson sets his mind on something, he gets what he wants.

First of all, that was a lie. I was far too interested in Willow—aka Chaos—Doyle. Second of all, she was my best friend’s sister-in-law. Which was a big freaking problem. She was light and I was far too much darkness for the likes of her. I was too paranoid and controlling because I’d learned very few people could be trusted. Not my family. Not my former job with the Army. I could barely breathe around all the lies I’d been fed in my life. Being alone was safer. Until she showed up at my door in trouble.

I live alone on the mountain for a reason. I’m dangerous—too strong, too aggressive, too close to feral. But then she shows up—with sweet curves, sultry voice, and a scent that drives my wolf insane. A gorgeous human, pouring drinks at Cody’s Saloon and hiding a shattered past behind her smile. I know the second I scent her—she’s mine. My mate. The one I was made for.

I must pay for the sins of my father with the only thing I have of any value.... My virginity. I will be auctioned. Sold. Shared. Ruined. And then tossed away. It’s a sacrifice I must make to save Daddy, to those seeking revenge for his mounting offenses. But when I become a pawn in a dangerous game played by two rival Russian mafia factions, it seems I might have some leverage. They will fight over me. And in doing so, destroy each other.

I’m having a millionaire’s baby...New Year’s Eve, a night of new beginnings. Asher and I talked and sipped champagne. Eventually, we went up to my room at the bed and breakfast and...Let’s just say when I left that room, I was no longer a virgin. And that was it. Until I was approached for a nanny position that I wasn’t sure I was equipped for. And the man behind the curtain raising his best friend’s little girl was...Asher.
