Being an the art director for one of the most popular galleries in Los Angeles, Ashley Wagner had worked twelve hour days all week. It was Friday night and all she wanted to do was go home and relax with a bottle of wine and a very long straw so when Jared and Shannon ask her to stop by their party, she tells them a resounding 'No'. Neither taking that as her final answer, they relentlessly hound her until she agrees. Little did she know this particular party would turn out to be nothing like the others.

Wynter Graham was a quiet, timid soul-a woman who apologized too much and bent herself to the will of those around her. She'd spent most of her life trying to please others, even at the cost of her own happiness. But, as fate would have it, she became the target of the worst kind of tormentor: her stepbrother, Nigel AeTos. On the surface, Nigel appeared the perfect gentleman-a well-mannered, charming man who everyone adored. But beneath that polished veneer, he was a sinister force. A walking contradiction, his darkness simmered just beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to emerge. His obsession with Wynter was growing, spiraling dangerously out of control. He didn't like her. She was weak, unremarkable, lacking the passion and fire that drove him. Yet, no matter how much he despised her meekness, there was something about her that pulled at him in ways he couldn't comprehend. Vengeance and ecstasy became a volatile cocktail in their twisted dynamic, each encounter leaving them both more entangled. Neither was meant for the other, but somehow, they couldn't stop hurting each other. They fed off the chaos, the tension, the sharp edge of the wounds they inflicted. Vindication would come, but it would not be pretty, and neither would escape unscathed. The question remains: How long can they continue this destructive dance? How long until their pain consumes them both entirely? (Eleventh Book of the V-Series) A Stand-Alone Novel.

Javier Carlsen, the son of the legendary chess grandmaster Gander Carlsen, has lived his life in the shadow of his father's brilliance-and his countless scorned lovers. Raised by Gander alone, life was no walk in the park. Javier was his "golden son," groomed for greatness, but that golden boy was only a pawn in a game of power and manipulation. His father's empire was built on cold strategy, but the lines of betrayal were longer than Javier ever could have imagined. Zeva Hayek, a force of nature, was no stranger to pain and revenge. Fueled by the desire to get back at Gander for the lies and deceit he'd woven into her life, Zeva was ready to strike when the time was right. And when she found the perfect way to exact her vengeance, she didn't hesitate. She took the one thing that meant most to Gander: His son. Javier. Kidnapped, tortured, and pushed to the edge of his own limits, Javier is forced into a brutal and twisted battle of dominance with Zeva. It's a vicious power play-a clash of wills and desires that ignites a fire neither of them expected. Every moment is a game of control and destruction, a war waged through hate and raw need. They're both playing their own twisted versions of chess, only the stakes are higher and the moves more dangerous. But beneath the hatred, beneath the dominance, something shifts. They begin to wonder-could there be more to this connection than just pain and revenge? What if what they needed most was what they already had-each other? The question lingers, as does the tension-could they survive the game they've started, or will it consume them both? Tenth Book of the V-Series A Stand-Alone Novel.

River Stone, an intrepid archaeologist, has uncovered what most only dream of-an ancient, hidden tribe deep within the Amazon, the Ibori, protectors of forbidden magic, vast wealth, and deadly power. With her archaeologist friend, Christopher Rai, she navigates the treacherous jungle to reach their sacred sanctuary. But it's Yisrael Ibori, the firstborn son of the clan's leader, Yuri, who is tasked with keeping watch over their "guests." Dutiful and fierce, Yisrael carries out his responsibility with unwavering focus, but there's a problem. River. Every step she takes, every movement of her body, draws his attention like a magnet. The way her hips sway, the deep rise of her chest, the soft curve of her lips-they haunt him, pulling at something deep inside, a longing he can't ignore. For River, the discovery of the lost Ibori history is the culmination of her career. She stands on the precipice of a monumental victory. But the moment her eyes lock with Yisrael's piercing onyx gaze, the treasures of the Ibori suddenly seem insignificant. There's something more precious here, something far deeper than the artifacts or the legends she's chased her entire life. What begins as a war between the mind and heart quickly grows into a battle neither of them can win. River knows her sharp intellect can't outwit Yisrael's unshakable resolve, and Yisrael is torn between his duty to his people and the undeniable pull of desire. In a world where power, magic, and temptation collide, will they fight the fire burning between them-or will it consume everything they've ever known? Seventh Book of V-series A standalone novel

"You think you have such a smart mouth, don't you?" She said, so sweetly. So quietly. So deviously. I crossed my arms, the muscles in my arms jumped and strained against the sleeves of my red shirt. "I don't think. I know." "Ooh, poor boy. Suffering from brain injury already. It's alright. I'll let you live your disillusionment." Unable to take it anymore, I bite out. "What are you doing?"
