Introduction
"Lasciami andare!!!" urlai in risposta, ma quando le sue dita toccarono la mia pelle, sussultai e un gemito mi sfuggì dalle labbra.
"Non ti piace questo, mia cara?"
Guardai il mio rapitore, un desiderio ardente mi percorse la schiena e le cosce. Deglutii forte e annuii. "Mi piace, papà."
Rapita da un spietato capo della mafia, Nora dovrebbe essere terrorizzata dal suo destino, ma nel profondo, questo mostro non è davvero un mostro. Non è forse il suo destino essere fatta per un mafioso spietato?

Chapter 1
Avevo diciotto anni quando l'ho incontrato per la prima volta. Diciotto e pazza di Jake.
"Nora, dai, questo è noioso," dice Leah mentre siamo sedute sugli spalti a guardare la partita.
Calcio. Qualcosa di cui non so nulla, ma fingo di amare perché è lì che lo vedo. Là fuori, su quel campo, ad allenarsi ogni giorno.
Non sono l'unica ragazza a guardare Jake, ovviamente. È il quarterback e il ragazzo più bello del pianeta—o almeno del sobborgo di Oak Lawn, Illinois.
"Non è noioso," le dico. "Il calcio è molto divertente." Leah alza gli occhi al cielo.
"Sì, sì. Vai a parlargli già. Non sei timida. Perché non fai in modo che ti noti?" Faccio spallucce.
Jake e io non frequentiamo gli stessi giri. Lui ha le cheerleader che gli ronzano intorno, e l'ho osservato abbastanza a lungo da sapere che preferisce le ragazze alte e bionde, non le basse e brune.
Inoltre, per ora è piuttosto divertente godersi semplicemente l'attrazione. E so che è proprio questo il sentimento. Desiderio. Ormoni, puri e semplici.
Non ho idea se mi piacerà Jake come persona, ma di certo adoro come appare senza maglietta. Ogni volta che passa, sento il cuore battere più forte dall'eccitazione. Mi sento calda dentro e vorrei contorcermi sulla sedia. Sogno anche di lui.
Sogni sexy, sogni sensuali, dove mi tiene la mano, mi tocca il viso, mi bacia. I nostri corpi si toccano, si sfregano l'uno contro l'altro. I nostri vestiti vengono via. Cerco di immaginare come sarebbe fare sesso con Jake.
L'anno scorso, quando uscivo con Rob, ci siamo quasi spinti fino in fondo, ma poi ho scoperto che aveva dormito con un'altra ragazza a una festa mentre era ubriaco.
Si è scusato profusamente quando l'ho affrontato, ma non potevo più fidarmi di lui e ci siamo lasciati. Ora sono molto più attenta ai ragazzi con cui esco, anche se so che non sono tutti come Rob. Jake potrebbe esserlo, però.
È semplicemente troppo popolare per non essere un playboy. Tuttavia, se c'è qualcuno con cui vorrei avere la mia prima volta, è sicuramente Jake.
"Andiamo fuori stasera," dice Leah. "Solo noi ragazze. Possiamo andare a Chicago, festeggiare il tuo compleanno." "Il mio compleanno è tra una settimana," le ricordo, anche se so che ha segnato la data sul suo calendario.
"E allora? Possiamo iniziare a festeggiare in anticipo." Sorrido.
È sempre così entusiasta di fare festa. "Non lo so. E se ci buttano fuori di nuovo? Quei documenti falsi non sono così buoni—"
"Andremo in un altro posto. Non deve essere per forza l'Aristotle." L'Aristotle è di gran lunga il club più cool della città. Ma Leah aveva ragione—ce ne erano altri.
"Va bene," dico. "Facciamolo. Iniziamo a festeggiare in anticipo."
Leah viene a prendermi alle 21:00. È vestita per andare in discoteca—jeans attillati scuri, un top nero scintillante e stivali alti fino al ginocchio con tacchi. I suoi capelli biondi sono perfettamente lisci e cadono sulla schiena come una cascata di riflessi. In confronto, io indosso ancora le mie sneakers.
Le scarpe da discoteca le nascondo nello zaino che intendo lasciare nella macchina di Leah. Un maglione spesso nasconde il top sexy che indosso. Niente trucco e i miei lunghi capelli castani raccolti in una coda di cavallo.
Esco di casa così per evitare sospetti. Dico ai miei genitori che vado a casa di un'amica con Leah.
Mia madre sorride e mi dice di divertirmi. Ora che ho quasi diciotto anni, non ho più un coprifuoco. Beh, probabilmente ce l'ho, ma non è formale. Finché torno a casa prima che i miei genitori inizino a preoccuparsi—o almeno se li informo su dove sono—va tutto bene.
Una volta salita in macchina di Leah, inizio la mia trasformazione. Via il maglione spesso, rivelando il top attillato che indosso sotto.
Ho messo un reggiseno push-up per massimizzare i miei attributi un po' sottodimensionati. Le spalline del reggiseno sono progettate in modo carino, quindi non mi imbarazza mostrarle. Non ho stivali cool come quelli di Leah, ma sono riuscita a portare con me il mio paio più bello di tacchi neri.
Aggiungono circa dieci centimetri alla mia altezza. Ho bisogno di ogni singolo centimetro, quindi indosso le scarpe. Poi tiro fuori la mia trousse e abbasso l'aletta parasole per avere accesso allo specchio.
I tratti familiari mi guardano indietro. Grandi occhi marroni e sopracciglia nere ben definite dominano il mio viso minuto. Rob una volta mi ha detto che sembro esotica, e posso capirlo.
Anche se sono solo un quarto latina, la mia pelle sembra sempre leggermente abbronzata e le mie ciglia sono insolitamente lunghe. Leah le chiama ciglia finte, ma sono completamente reali. Non ho problemi con il mio aspetto, anche se spesso vorrei essere più alta.
Sono quei geni messicani. Mia abuela era minuta e lo sono anch'io, anche se entrambi i miei genitori sono di altezza media. Non mi importerebbe, se non fosse che a Jake piacciono le ragazze alte. Non credo nemmeno che mi veda nei corridoi; sono letteralmente sotto il suo livello visivo. Sospirando, metto un po' di lucidalabbra e ombretto. Non esagero con il trucco perché il semplice funziona meglio su di me.
Prima che me ne accorga, arriviamo al club. Entriamo come se fossimo le padrone del posto. Leah sorride al buttafuori e mostriamo i nostri documenti. Ci fanno passare senza problemi. Non siamo mai state in questo club prima d'ora. È in una parte più vecchia e leggermente degradata del centro di Chicago.
"Come hai trovato questo posto?" urlo a Leah, cercando di farmi sentire sopra la musica. "Me l'ha detto Ralph," urla di rimando, e io alzo gli occhi al cielo. Ralph è l'ex ragazzo di Leah.
Siamo qui per divertirci, e questo è esattamente quello che facciamo per la prossima ora. Leah convince un paio di ragazzi a comprarci degli shot. Non beviamo più di un drink ciascuna. Leah—perché deve guidarci a casa. E io—perché non metabolizzo bene l'alcol. Siamo giovani, ma non stupide.
Nel frattempo, la mia vescica mi dice che devo andare in bagno. Quindi li lascio e vado. Sulla via del ritorno, chiedo al barista un bicchiere d'acqua. Ho sete dopo tutto quel ballare. Me lo dà, e io lo bevo avidamente. Quando ho finito, poso il bicchiere e alzo lo sguardo. Dritto in un paio di occhi azzurri penetranti.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
