𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨 is a man Italy has learned to fear. Ruthless, merciless, and seated at the head of a blood-soaked empire, he has never been known for forgiveness. His unfaithful wife learned that before her death. Now, the only person Dante cares for is his five-year-old son, Matteo. When Matteo needs a nanny, Dante makes his expectations painfully clear. He wants someone he will never look at twice. An old woman. A nun. Anyone incapable of becoming another temporary desire. Then Sister 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐡 steps into his mansion. At twenty-one, Delilah has known nothing beyond the walls of the church. Gentle, painfully innocent, and carrying wounds she has been taught to call punishment, she arrives in Italy believing she has been sent to care for a lonely little boy. She knows nothing of the criminal empire surrounding her. Nothing of the blood on Dante Russo's hands. And nothing of the way he looks at her. She was supposed to be invisible to him. Instead, the quiet little nun becomes the only temptation the devil cannot ignore. And Dante Russo has never been a man who denies himself what he wants.

She's Serena Bellerose, Crown Princess of Velouris. Untouchable, immaculate, always in control. He's Marcus Ashford, her bodyguard. Ex-Delta Force Commander, trained, dangerous, obsessed. Every brush of his hand, every whispered command, drives her wild. He doesn't just protect her... he wants her bent, claimed, trembling under his control, every inch hers and only his. In the gilded palace, where rules are law and eyes are everywhere, surrendering means giving in to desire she shouldn't crave, to a man she can't resist-a fire that could destroy her crown or consume her completely.

The first time I met General Alexander Reeves, I thought he was exactly the kind of man women should run from. I was right. Just not for the reason I thought. We weren't supposed to be a love story. He was a thirty-two-year-old Supreme Commander with a reputation built on ice and military steel. I was a twenty-two-year-old nursing student desperately trying to keep my sick father alive. It started with a date. It quickly turned into a proposition. One year. Separate bedrooms. No interference in each other's lives. A marriage built entirely on duty and a five-year friendship between our fathers. It was the perfect contract. Completely foolproof. Except for one unwritten rule that neither of us understood until it was entirely too late. *Don't fall in love.* Some hearts just refuses to follow orders

Ava Sinclair is desperate. Her father's rare illness is bankrupting her, and time is running out. In a last-ditch move, she joins Velvet Circle-an elite underground agency where powerful men pay fortunes for one night of total control. Xavier Blackwood doesn't do love. He's a billionaire who treats women like transactions: hot, hard, gone by morning. No strings. No repeats. Until Ava steps into his world. One contract. Fifty thousand dollars every time he calls. No feelings. No questions. Just her body on demand. But obsession creeps in fast. His hands can't get enough of her curves. Her moans start sounding like surrender. And the money can't drown out the truth they're both avoiding: What happens when "just sex" becomes something neither can walk away from? A raw, steamy, addictive billionaire romance packed with dominance, possession, and heat that burns everything down.

🎸🔥 West Holden is the frontman of The Drift. Sold-out arenas. Platinum records. Magazine covers. The kind of man who makes women lose their minds-and their underwear-in the same breath. 🎵 Offstage?

He owns the most exclusive club in New Orleans. She came to prove monsters don't exist. Psychology doctoral candidate Evelyn Sullivan has built her career studying why people believe in myths, legends, and monsters. Vampires are nothing more than fascinating folklore... until her research leads her to The Velvet Vein and its dangerously charming owner, Malcolm Rourke. Mal has spent nearly two centuries hiding in plain sight. Confident, ruthless, and impossible to ignore, he's exactly the kind of man Evie should avoid. Instead, she can't stop asking questions... and he can't seem to stop letting her. As attraction turns into obsession, a long-buried mystery resurfaces. The brother Evie has mourned for nine years may not be dead at all. Some legends are born from fear. Others are born from the truth. And some loves are worth forever.

Our pasts have a funny way of haunting us, sometimes as ghosts in your mind and sometimes right in front of your face. Alex Belkov would do anything for Anora. Anything. All for a woman who didn't even recognize him. • • • Whoever said love makes you do crazy things was fucking right. And I wasn't even mad at it. If anything I felt a sick sense of relief as I beat the man bloody- finally putting a bullet through his thick head. I had killed before. On the job you know, when it had to come to that. As a detective now I wasn't out on the field like I used to be. But I sure still knew my way around a 9mm. This wasn't exactly so different either. It was for justice- but my own justice. Her justice.
