Introduction
Icaro Lucchesi, som aldrig undviker något syndigt, finner enorm njutning i att få sin nya brud att rodna. Varje smutsig tanke mannen kan drömma upp, har han utfört minst en gång i sitt liv, men nu vill han göra allt med henne.
Zorah å andra sidan har en överraskning för sin nya make. Hon hade inte sparat sig själv hela sitt liv bara för att ge upp det till en man hon inte kände, än mindre älskade. Om han vill ha henne, måste han förtjäna det. Hon kanske har tillbringat större delen av sitt liv på knä och bett, men Zorah vill ha Icaro på sina knän, tiggande.
Zorah finner sig indragen i en helt ny värld av brott, våld och sex, ibland allt på en gång. Icaro har inte varit en god man sedan födseln, men för henne, för sin rodnande brud, är han desperat att försöka.
Kan Zorah lära sig att älska hela mannen Icaro Lucchesi, eller kommer hans mörker att driva henne till att fly som om djävulen själv jagade henne?

Chapter 1
Zorah Maria Esposito lyfte hakan och bad att Herrens kraft skulle flöda genom henne när hon sjöng sin solo under mässan medan nattvarden delades ut. Hon var dock för distraherad och även om hon kunde sjunga den här sången i sömnen utan att missa en ton, kände hon att hennes hjärta var på fel plats för att inte vara helt fokuserad på de vackra texterna, en hyllning till Jesus.
Hennes morbror, hennes mammas bror, fader Ippocrate Giannone ledde gudstjänsten och just nu var han anledningen till att hon var nervös. Han hade närmat sig henne tidigare, med en stolt lutning på huvudet, hans kläder svajade med hans bryska rörelser och meddelade att han ville se henne omedelbart efter mässan.
De tjugofem andra körmedlemmarna var alla storögda när hans dömande blick stirrade ner på henne. Allt hon kunde erbjuda var ett blygt "ja, fader Giannone" innan han snurrade ut ur rummet med en svepande rörelse.
Nu, från baksidan av kyrkan, i det höga loftet med utsikt över kyrkan, märkte hon att hans ögon ständigt flackade mot en man som satt på första raden. Hon kunde inte se den andra mannens ansikte men visste att han inte var någon från deras församling, säker på att hon skulle ha känt igen mannen från hans byggnad ensam.
När hon steg tillbaka till sin plats i kören, stötte hennes bästa vän Sidonia till henne och viskade. "Vad tror du att han vill?"
"Jag visste inte de senaste sex gångerna du frågade." Hon andades skakigt ut.
"Tror du att han fick reda på att vi stannade sent i torsdags kväll? Jag menar, vi bad ju bara. Vi låste väl, eller hur? Vi glömde inte att låsa kapellet när vi gick?"
"Vi låste, Sidonia. Han skulle inte vara arg för att vi stannade längre för att be."
"Bekände du en synd?"
"Nej."
Körledaren vände sig om och gav dem varnande blickar när nattvardsfirandet närmade sig sitt slut och de frös till.
När Zorah hängde upp sin kåpa och försäkrade Sidonia att hon skulle möta henne tillbaka i deras lägenhet, var hon betydligt mer nervös än tidigare. Hon dröjde sig kvar, erbjöd sig att städa rummet, och höll sig kvar tills den sista körmedlemmen hade gått.
Hennes morbror var aldrig en vänlig man, trots att han var präst. Där vissa var varma, snälla och kärleksfulla, förlåtande överträdelser i Jesu namn, tenderade hennes morbror att kasta domar om helvete, eld och svavel utan andra tankar. Hennes hud hade mer än en gång känt piskan av hans gissel som användes för att straffa henne för de synder hon utan tvekan begick i sitt sinne.
Sedan hans föräldrars död hade Ippocrate förklarat sig själv som familjens överhuvud, vilket bestod av honom själv, Zipporah hans enda syskon, och hennes dotter Zorah. Zipporah tillbringade mer tid på knäna i bön än Zorah gjorde, och det sa något. Hennes mor hade ångrat sig sedan hon blev gravid vid sexton års ålder av de söta orden från en dålig pojke. Hennes föräldrar vägrade att överväga adoption för sitt enda barn och insisterade på att alla barn var välsignelser och tvingade Zipporah att uppfostra sin bebis. Sedan dog de när Zorah bara var två år och det lämnade mor och barn under fader Ippocrates vaksamma och ständigt nedlåtande ögon.
Hon ryckte till av rörelse vid dörren eftersom hon förväntades vara ensam och tittade upp i alarm. Mannen med de breda axlarna som hade suttit på första raden under gudstjänsten var i körsalen.
"Hej," nickade hon nervöst. Hon var sällan nära en pojke eller en man ensam. Hon arbetade på en tandläkarmottagning så det fanns tillfällen då patienter väntade i rummet, men detta kändes annorlunda. Han var en av de mest stiliga män hon någonsin sett. Mörkblå ögon, färgen av övermogna blåbär som skulle spricka på tungan, borrade sig in i hennes ljusbruna. Hans hår var tjockt, svart och glansigt, bakåtslickat från tinningarna. Hans axlar var så breda att hon troligen kunde ställa tre av sig själv sida vid sida och det skulle fortfarande finnas plats över, och han var väl över sex fot lång och när hennes ögon granskade hans kropp, smal och vältränad. Hennes blick återvände till hans ansikte och noterade den raka näsan och de fylliga läpparna, och hon var förtrollad när han drog tungan över underläppen som kröktes till ett litet leende.
"Scusi," hans tjocka italienska accent rullade av en tunga som erbjöd en grov röst. Hans ögon hånade när han fångade henne med att titta på hans kropp.
Hon rodnade djupt röd, "kan jag hjälpa dig?"
"Vad gör du?" frågade han och nickade mot boken i hennes hand.
Hon svalde nervöst, "jag satte de sista psalmböckerna på deras rätta plats. Direktör Mallorca bad mig göra det innan jag går hem."
"Och var är hem?"
Den nyfikna tonen i hans röst fick henne att tveka och hon viskade, "det är inte långt härifrån." Hon tog ett andetag och skyndade sig att säga, "kan jag hjälpa dig, herrn? Jag måste träffa min morbror eftersom han väntar på mig."
"Herrn?" han skrattade, "åh söta Zorah, är det så du skulle tilltala mig?"
"Känner vi varandra?" hon rynkade pannan åt honom. Hon kunde inte placera honom. Om något, skulle hans ögon vara något att minnas, hon var säker på det.
"Ännu inte, amoré."
Han steg längre in i rummet, och hon visste att hennes ögon var tecknat stora när han rörde sig mot henne och från sättet han rörde sig undrade hon nästan om mannen svävade, hans ögon fokuserade på henne som en hök som spanar på sitt byte. Hon var pressad mot bokhyllorna, hennes fingrar klamrade sig hårt om psalmboken i hennes hand och hennes andning stannade helt. Hennes ögon slöts och hon lutade huvudet bort från honom när han lutade sig över henne, hans näsa borstade upp längs sidan av hennes hals som om han sniffade på henne, hans andedräkt het i hennes öra när han viskade.
"Så jävla oskyldig. Nästan värt att säga en tacksägelsebön." Han reste sig upp och kupade hennes haka, "jag kommer att se dig snart." Hans läppar brände hennes panna med en kyss.
Utan vidare steg han upp och gick tillbaka till dörren. Hon skakade av skräck och en medvetenhet om en man hon aldrig tidigare upplevt. Sättet han intimt andades mot hennes hals fick gåshud att täcka hennes hud och hon kunde fortfarande känna hans läppar på hennes panna.
"Zorah," han vände sig vid dörren och gav henne en hård blick, denna gång skrämmande, hotfull och hon kämpade för att få andan vid hans iskalla uppsyn, "du gör bäst i att förbli orörd tills dess, annars blir det helvete att betala."
Med det försvann han in i kyrkan, och hon grep tag i bokhyllan bakom sig och undrade vad som hände och varför hennes hjärta slog så hårt. Rädsla var säkert en anledning men en annan känsla, en hon aldrig tillåtit sig själv att uppleva tidigare, retade hennes hjärna. Hon var nära att falla på knä i ånger.

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."

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.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
