Chapter 1
Payton
Finalmente estaba lista para salir por mi cuenta y hacer algo con mi vida. Acababa de pasar seis años completando un MBA, tratando de apresurarme antes de que el cáncer finalmente se llevara a mi padre para siempre. Había logrado terminar mi licenciatura antes de que él muriera y sabía que estaba orgulloso de mí, pero nunca llegó a verme graduar. Sacudo la cabeza para despejar los pensamientos que me deprimen. Habían pasado dos años desde que falleció, pero nunca se hacía más fácil pensar en él.
Tenía una semana libre para relajarme, luego iba a trabajar en la firma inmobiliaria de mi padrastro en el departamento de contabilidad. No era lo que realmente quería, pero era un trabajo garantizado, así que tenía que aceptarlo por el momento para ganar algo de experiencia. Con suerte, después de adquirir experiencia, podría conseguir un trabajo en marketing, pero no tenían vacantes en ese departamento y no quería que nadie dijera que él había creado una posición para mí. Además, me permitiría conocer mejor a Roland.
No estaba exactamente feliz de que mi madre se hubiera vuelto a casar un año después de que mi padre falleciera, pero no me sorprendía demasiado. Mi madre no era una mujer muy independiente y creía que una mujer necesitaba un hombre para ser feliz. Dios sabe que me preguntaba lo suficiente sobre no tener un hombre en mi vida. Amaba a mi madre, pero de ninguna manera sería tan necesitada y dependiente de un hombre como lo era ella. No necesitaba un hombre para ser feliz, ciertamente no los chicos de fraternidad borrachos que intentaron meterse en mis pantalones en la universidad. Eran tan groseros y vulgares, después de algunas fiestas en mi primer año de escuela, me desilusioné de los hombres y sus mentes de una sola vía. A veces me preguntaba si había algo mal conmigo, ya que a los 24 años, un hombre era lo último en mi mente. La mayoría de mis amigos de la secundaria estaban casados y con hijos en camino.
Mientras guardaba mis pertenencias en mi nueva y temporal (al menos eso esperaba) habitación, pensaba en el nuevo esposo de mi madre. Roland era lo suficientemente amable y le estaba agradecida por darme esta oportunidad de al menos construir mi currículum, pero había algo en él que simplemente no me gustaba. Solo lo había conocido dos veces antes, el otoño pasado cuando vine a casa para la boda y nuevamente cuando vine a casa para Navidad. Esas dos veces me había quedado en mi hogar de la infancia. Desde entonces, para mi gran tristeza, mi madre había vendido nuestra casa familiar, así que ahora me estaba instalando en una habitación de invitados en la casa de mi padrastro. Tan pronto como tuviera suficiente para un apartamento propio, tendría mi libertad. Él era viudo y sin hijos, así que por qué tenía esta casa enorme era un misterio para mí. Sabía por mi madre que él realizaba muchas cenas con posibles clientes aquí y, como magnate inmobiliario, supongo que tenía una imagen que mantener.
Aparentemente, Roland iba a hacer un gran anuncio en la cena de esta noche, así que supongo que debería terminar esto y prepararme para ver de qué se trataba.
Después de pasar los últimos seis años en la universidad y viviendo de préstamos estudiantiles, no puedo decir que tuviera mucha ropa formal para usar. Me sentí completamente mal vestida con mis mejores leggings y un suéter mientras bajaba las escaleras desde mi habitación para la cena. Mi madre llevaba un vestido y tacones, maquillaje perfectamente aplicado, mientras que Roland llevaba un traje completo. Mi madre levantó la vista del martini que estaba mezclando y noté que Roland ya tenía un vaso de líquido ámbar en la mano. Bueno, eso era nuevo, mamá bebiendo un martini. En el pasado, solía tomar una copa de vino en raras ocasiones, generalmente en celebraciones, pero nunca la había visto beber algo más fuerte y ciertamente no en un sábado por la noche cualquiera.
La veo mirarme de arriba abajo, pero antes de que pueda decir algo, Roland saca su billetera. Toma una tarjeta de crédito y la pone en el minibar frente a mi madre.
—Deberías llevar a Payton de compras mañana, va a necesitar ropa nueva para el trabajo y otras funciones.
Vaya, eso fue bastante grosero. Aclaro mi garganta y digo:
—Tengo un poco ahorrado, simplemente no he necesitado nada más que esto para sentarme en un aula todo el día y no he tenido la oportunidad de ir de compras aún.
Roland lo descarta como si no fuera gran cosa.
—Oh, no. Considéralo un regalo de bienvenida a la familia. Vas a necesitar ropa de negocios para el trabajo y algunos vestidos de cóctel para otras funciones. Si todo sale según lo planeado. Pero hablaremos de eso una vez que Jacob llegue.
¿Jacob? ¿Quién demonios es Jacob? Miro a mi madre en busca de una respuesta, pero ella solo me da una sonrisa falsa y toma un sorbo de su bebida.
—¿Te gustaría una bebida, Payton? —me pregunta.
Normalmente no bebo, pero tengo la sensación de que voy a necesitar una para pasar esta cena, así que pido una simple copa de vino tinto. Cuando mi madre me la entrega, suena el timbre.
—Oh, ese debe ser Jacob ahora —dice Roland—. Iré a dejarlo entrar.
Cuando sale de la habitación, me vuelvo hacia mi madre.
—Mamá, ¿quién es Jacob?
—Pues es el hijo de Roland, tu hermano ahora, supongo —dice mamá con una risa débil.
Estoy sorprendida, por decir lo menos. No solo mamá nunca mencionó que Roland tenía un hijo, él no estuvo en su boda y nunca se ha mencionado en ninguno de los artículos de noticias que he leído sobre Roland y su firma. Sabía que su esposa había muerto en un accidente, pero eso era todo, nunca se mencionó a otra familia.
—No sabía que Roland tenía un hijo. ¿Por qué no me lo dijiste, mamá? —No sé muy bien qué pensar de esto. Es bastante malo tener un padrastro del que sabes tan poco, pero ¿ahora también tengo un hermanastro?
—Bueno, querida, han estado distanciados por algún tiempo. De hecho, estuvo en los Marines durante los últimos diez años y acaba de regresar al país. Aparentemente, fue bastante problemático como adolescente, pero Roland espera que los Marines lo hayan enderezado. Sería genial tener a un exsoldado a su lado si decide postularse...
No llego a escuchar lo que más tiene que decir mi madre, ya que Roland y Jacob entran en la habitación.
Miro hacia los dos hombres y no puedo procesar los opuestos que están frente a mí, pero solo me concentro en el hombre desconocido. Con un par de botas de cuero negro desgastadas, jeans negros gastados en todos los lugares correctos, una camiseta Henley de manga larga azul real, una barba cuidadosamente recortada, hasta los ojos más azules que he visto. Tiene el cabello rubio sucio tocando sus hombros y uno de esos pañuelos que usan los motociclistas, del mismo color que su camiseta, atado alrededor de su cabeza. No es el tipo de hombre que normalmente llamaría mi atención, pero ¿por qué demonios siento que todo mi cuerpo está en llamas? Santa Madre del Niño Jesús, ¿este es mi hermano?

“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.”

A weeklong wedding in New Hope. One mansion full of guests. And a very bitter maid of honor.
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?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

**
I hate girls like her.
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."

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.
