His weapon is seduction, the battlefield between his sheets, and cruel betrayal the blade he plunges deep. My mother raised me on knights in shining armor and happily-ever-afters. She groomed me to be the perfect mafia princess. It was only natural that I’d believe in fairy tales. Only, I didn’t fall for the prince. I fell in love with my father’s enemy. I’ve never deluded myself about the man Dante is. Powerful. Cold. Ruthless. Brutal. Bad doesn’t come close to describing him. But when he held me in his arms in a rented room, he showed me that he could be good. Just for me.

He can never know about the life we created in a bed of lies, because the man I called my lover is the monster who killed my parents, and I’m next on the list. I know what it’s like to be used. Dante ruined me for the sake of his revenge. He destroyed me for his selfish gain without thinking twice. What he doesn’t know is that we created something pure and innocent in that bed of lies. We made a new life, one I have to hide from him at all costs, because the man I called my lover is the cold-hearted monster who killed my parents, and I’m next on the list.

It all started with a favor. Now he is calling, and he's calling to collect. When two worlds collide, two families combine under one roof and there is no telling what is in store. One thing is for certain, when the Graves family meets the Gallows Hill crew, it's about to be a Very Bloody Christmas.

I should have known better, I should have seen the signs, but now all I'm left with is heartache and disappointment. They may think they've got the better of me, but I won't go down without a fight. Especially when it comes to the ones I love. Even if I have to protect them from themselves.

Octavia Royal, the nation's princess. More like, Octavia Royal, my life is a big hot mess. My father’s death has me back in my hometown, and nothing is as I remember. Echoes Cove Prep is a place where dreams go to die. Where everyone wants to be a mean girl, no matter what they sacrifice, and the three boys who were once my saviors run the place. Only now they’re my worst nightmare. There’s something sinister writhing beneath the surface of Echoes Cove.

Nothing about my return to Echoes Cove was what I expected, but I wasn’t prepared for the darkness that’s threatening to devour us all. A stalker, patient and cunning, hunting in the shadows. Powerful forces determined to control my every move and bend me to their will. And them. Lincoln, Maverick, Finley, and Easton. I’m not sure how I’ll survive them without losing myself, or my heart, along the way. And when the secrets circling us begin to break the surface I know it’s not just about losing who I am or losing them.

I thought this was the best way to save them. The four men that keep me grounded, rooted to the core of my history, my legacy, and I'll save them no matter the cost. Truths uncovered lead to more secrets, more lies, more pain, and the tangled web of Echoes Cove has me trapped tighter in its bindings. The monsters of this world have no idea how far I'm willing to go. How hard I'm willing to fight.

Just as Hunter's mouth opened to ask the beautiful blonde in front of him in line at the grocery store to join him at a friend's party, the beauty paled and his inner medic went into overdrive. He quickly placed his items down and caught her in his waiting arms as she started to fall to the ground. Little did he know she had also fallen into his heart.

Annie looks at the party going on next door, you know the house that no one's been at until today for almost a month. Yeah, that one and the guys at the party are pure man candy. Buff and sexy as sin. They look military, but I know looking military doesn't mean they are military. I've been invited by one of those gorgeous and tall men, but I'm here keeping a low profile. I even changed my type of job. Now I'm a freelance journalist, and romance author keeping out of society. Why you ask? I know secrets that can get lots of men hurt, it was my last job.

Cowboy: Who's going to love me now? This is the question I ponder on a daily basis, sitting in the hospital watching as the doctors take more of my bicep away. I see the way she looks at me - not as damaged, but as a man. I promise to help her find her brother, but I didn't expect how close he was. Maria: He is different from other men in my life, he's gentle and patient. He even says that his friends can help me find my brother who disowned me years ago on a misunderstanding.
