Did you know roughly twenty-seven percent of child abductions are carried out by an acquaintance or family friend? Who better to lure you away than someone you know and trust? With every day that passed, the likelihood of my being found grew smaller. I never imagined I’d be one of them—my face tacked to a bulletin board at the local grocery store and a statewide search issued on my behalf. Even harder to fathom was that I’d ever be one of the lucky few who made it home after enduring years of captivity.

As the new girl from the south side of town going to a prestigious academy for my senior year, I never expected welcoming open arms. But the bloody nose on my first day was a surprise. And the threat. And the...well, let me just say behind the botoxed smiles and shiny sports cars were the worst sort of people. And there was one that brought them to their knees. One who ruled Green Hills Academy like the monarchs he descended from. Knight King hated me. Hated what I represented. Hated that I wasn't wealthy and that I dared to enter his world.

Dean Archer has meticulously curated his life to include his family's global art and antiquities empire and a fiancée who is his intellectual equal. When he arrives at a luxury resort in Kauai for a vacation with his new fiancée's family, the last person he expects to find cleaning his room is Elika Hamlet—the woman who once set his world, and his bed, ablaze. And since the universe has a wicked sense of humor, she's also his fiancée's cousin.

He watched me get handcuffed and led away for something I didn't do. He stared with those cold, steely eyes and did the one thing that caused my blood to run cold. Knight smiled and waved goodbye. He had wanted me gone the moment he met me, and Knight King always got what he wanted. But here's the thing, there wasn't a person in the world that could hold me down.

I left behind my family, my friends, and everything I've ever known for a chance at a new life–one where I wouldn't be under the strict, oppressive rules of the church. But now, I'm barely surviving in the harsh Chicago winter, living out of my car and saving every penny I can in hopes of making a better life for myself. So when a stranger saves me from certain danger and offers me a place to stay, I can't say no, even if he exemplifies everything I've always been told to avoid.

He's everything I'm not. He's into sports, and I'm into books and art. He's popular with girls falling at his feet. I've never been kissed. We have zero in common, yet I've been in love with him since the first grade. Until I made the mistake of tutoring him. He made me feel special. I wasn't. He destroyed me. Now four years later he's back and he'll stop at nothing to get me back.

Current life goals: get through these 50-hour work weeks while maintaining my sanity, avoid relationships with Dominants who can't accept me for who I am, strengthen my relationship with my older brother, and survive a year of living with my brother and his best friend, who are moving back to Chicago to start a business. So far, so good. My new bartending job at Club Caliber is going well, Liam has been texting me about how excited he is to move into our new place and spend more time with me, and I even hit it off with a man at my last bartending shift who might actually be my perfect match.

He thought he could destroy me. Threatened me. Murdered the people around me. Then trapped me with no way out. What he didn't realize was I had the devil on my side. He played the long game. Longer than anyone thought. He thought he was smart with an entire town on his side. He tried to destroy my life and everything I loved. But I grew up in a different part of town. And where I was from, we protected our own. It may not be pretty, but watching him break into nothing may be the happiest moment of my life. I just hope the devil doesn't trick me again.

Amara Maria Robles is a good girl. So good that she gave up her dreams of becoming a renowned pastry chef to help her parents with their struggling Mexican bakery. Yet her parents reject any changes she suggests, and refuse to sell her mouth-watering confections. Clearly being a good girl isn't paying off. So when her brother's sexy ex-best friend walks into the bakery, Amara's tempted to be very bad indeed....

Grant Bergeron is Orleans University's playboy first baseman. He's charming, kind… and a tad arrogant. But underneath his party-guy demeanor, he's more than anyone sees. I needed a husband, and he strode in like prince charming, taking me up on the marriage pact from our past. One that I never imagined actually happening. Our I-dos were meant to be temporary, a walk-off wedding that benefited us both. But when he takes our vows more seriously than I expect, old feelings begin to resurface. Now we're sharing a too-small apartment, and he's everywhere.

The greatest mistake Ember made was to step foot in my school. The instant the rumors started, I marked her as mine. It's only natural I became curious about the new girl. She took someone's position in this academy. Someone important to me. And now, she has to pay. The only way for her to survive is to find out the dirty little secrets I keep to myself. I watch the pleasure spark in her eyes as she searches. The desire to participate in my particular...tastes. If she's not careful, I might capitalize on that curiosity, and I'll squeeze her heart until it bleeds.

Ember is a succubus, consuming in every sense. My theory is proven when I specifically ignore Ember for an entire month, yet her scent remains in my nostrils, the vision of her in my mind’s eye. Her peppery musk dances along the back of my tongue, ruining my taste for anyone else. Savannah Merricourt is labeled as my intended, and I should accept it, as I do everything, because my father’s too powerful and I’ve been locked in the basement too many times.

Thorne declared war on me tonight when he took away the one thing I had left. But here’s where he got it wrong: I’m not about to crouch in the shadows ensuring he never sees me. If I do, it would only be so he doesn’t see me coming. The boy who made my emotions spike and swirl, crushed them in his hands. He thinks he’s weakened me with heartbreak. Arrogance will be his downfall. It only puts me in the perfect position to take away something that matters to him, too.

I never knew older men with cocky smiles were my thing. Especially when he's my father's co-CEO. But Zach's smile made me go from good girl to bad girl in 2.3 seconds. Now I'm his intern and we're stuck together like lovebugs. A touch on the cheek as we pass in the hallway. An outright claiming of my soul on his desk after hours. This will be our little secret. Because if my dad finds out, we're both toast. Then I discover the biggest secret of all: I'm going to make Zach a daddy. I just hope we don't lose everything else first.
