Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl's college to take care of the only family I have left. There's one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value. My virginity. Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he's the only kindness in a brutal underworld. Except he's playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart.

Gabriel Miller took everything from me. My family. My innocence. My home. The only thing I have left is the determination to get back what's mine. He thinks he's beaten me. He thinks he's won. What he doesn't realize is that every pawn has the chance to become a queen. And the game has only just begun.

Fransisco Castille, the exiled Duke of Linares, knows his duty. Even in modern times, the line must continue. So he'll marry and produce an heir. Yes, a wife will fit into his well-ordered life. Instead he ends up with the brilliant pianist Isabella. Strong. Spirited. And highly disobedient. She rebels against every custom and every rule, threatening his careful balance. Fransisco never backs away from a challenge. Isabella never bows down to anyone.

He seethes with raw power the first time I see him - pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He's dangerous. He's wild. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So, I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then, he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back.

Ambitious. Intense. Irresistible. I never wanted to fall for a man. And definitely not two men.

I'd never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning. He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. "Drive," he tells me, and I have no choice. He's a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams. The police say he's dangerously obsessed with me, but I'm the one who can't stop thinking about him. 

Als ich ihn zum ersten Mal sehe, ist er von einer Aura purer Kraft und ursprünglicher Macht umgeben - seine zuckenden Muskeln können nur von Fesseln im Zaum gehalten werden. Er ist gefährlich. Er ist wild. Er ist der schönste Mann, den ich je gesehen habe. Also verstecke ich mich hinter meiner streng wirkenden Brille und meinem Buch, so wie ich es immer tue, denn auch ich habe meine Geheimnisse. Dann taucht er in dem Schreibkurs auf, den ich im Gefängnis abhalte, und er bringt mich mit seiner Ehrlichkeit um den Verstand.

Ich weiß nie, wann er zu mir kommt. Nur, dass er es wird. Vor dem Abend, an dem ich Stone begegnete, hatte ich noch nie einen Mann geküsst. An diesem Abend sah ich, wie er tötete. An diesem Abend hat er mein Leben verschont. Das war aber erst der Anfang. Er taucht immer wieder in meinem Auto auf, gefährlich und voll ursprünglicher Kraft. »Fahr los«, sagt er mir, und mir bleibt keine andere Wahl. Er ist ein Krimineller mit brennenden, grünen Augen, der in mein Leben und meine Träume eindringt. 

My story starts with a plunge into the cold water of Manhattan's harbor. A strong hand hauls me back onto the deck of the luxury yacht. Christopher was supposed to be my enemy. Instead he protects me with fierce determination. That should have been my happily ever after, but then Sutton appeared - ruthless and seductive. He doesn't care that my heart belongs to someone else, because he's determined to win. No matter the cost.  

Not every love story begins in the light...Sometimes, the prince isn't charming. The damsel causes more distress than she's in. Sometimes, the danger doesn't come from a magic spell. It comes from each other. Welcome to dark romance.

Holly Frank is in trouble. The deadly kind. She and her sister must evade the authorities and the criminals who want them dead. Including Elijah North. The man who took her heart in Paris, her body in a prison cell, and her trust without remorse. He's determined to keep her safe. Even if that means losing her forever. Adam Bisset has his own dark agenda. She’s caught between the two men, torn apart with every sensual push and pull.

I'm a cautionary tale. A statistic. A victim. A single teenage mother from the poor part of town. Most of the time, I'm too busy working and struggling to care what people think. Survival doesn't come easy. I have a dark secret, a pressure valve, a rare moment just for myself. On these nights, I visit a club. There, I find men who give me what I need.

Final book in the trilogy! Safe in the ivory tower.... Gabriel Miller swears he'll keep me safe. Enemies lurk outside, waiting to strike. An army held back by these walls. Except some animal instinct warns me the danger is much closer. It's already here. Is Gabriel my protector or my enemy? Is this house a castle or a cage? There's nowhere for me to go, no one left for me to trust. No escape from a past determined to capture its prize.

This is his chance to reenter the world - and to be worthy of the woman he dreams about. He never expected to see her sitting in his classroom on the first day of the semester.

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I'm his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.

We don't belong together, but I'm caught in a twisted game.
