Since escaping an uncomfortable home life where her mother married her bully's father, Marissa thought she was done accepting betrayal. Until she walks in on her boyfriend sleeping with someone she considered a close friend. To make matters worse, she has to keep holding things in because her pseudo-sister is in a high-risk pregnancy and her husband is her ex's best friend. After enduring months of holding things in to keep the peace, she's faced with the ultimate betrayal: they're naming the baby after her cheating ex. As if that wasn't enough, her manager had lied to her about a promotion, and her incompetent subordinate was now her boss. Done with being everyone's pushover, Marissa decides to take a step back from the friends who betrayed her, quit her toxic job, and find a lucrative job in the company of her dreams. The catch? She will have to work under her childhood bully, turned stepbrother, Gideon. And as an added stipulation, she'll need to go back home for Friday night dinner every week. Now she'll have to decide if her career is worth returning home and facing demons she'd been keeping at bay for almost a decade.

Then he vanished without a word, leaving me with memories that felt like lies. Years later, I serve him a drink in a town I randomly chose, in a life I never wanted. He looks the same, feels the same, and is still swearing I'm his. I tell myself I'm stronger now. That I won't fall. I'm wrong. Because I don't know that he's powerful, ruthless, or that people whisper his name like a warning. By the time I learn the truth about who he really is, it's too late to run. Loving him again will cost me everything. I will soon learn the difference between a broken heart, and a cage disguised as paradise. <<<This is a toxic dark romance about obsession, betrayals, and the kind of love that survives only after the antihero makes sure there's no other option.>>>>

Juliana didn't expect to get cheated on after four years. She didn't expect to break down in her car, crying into her hands outside a gas station. And she definitely didn't expect a stranger on a motorcycle to pull up beside her and care. He didn't say much. Just bought her tissues and a chocolate bar, paid without asking, and left before she could thank him properly. Helmet on. Name unknown. Gone like smoke in the cold night air. Weeks later, she's in a club with her best friends, heels too high, dress too tight, pretending she's fine. She glances up-and there he is. The man from that night. Still watching from the shadows. Still not saying a word. But when she tries to pay for her drinks, she finds out he already did. She doesn't know his name or that he is in fact the same guy from the gas station. He doesn't know she's about to change everything. A slow-burn biker romance full of silent stares, messy healing, and the kind of tension that starts with a glance... and ends with a storm.

When Dani Vega catches her fiancé in bed with someone else, she doesn't scream or cry-she rides. Leaving behind the life she built in L.A., she roars back to her hometown with nothing but a duffel bag, a broken heart, and her beloved Harley. She swore she'd never return to Ridgepoint. Not to the ghosts. Not to the father who rules the Iron Serpents MC with an iron fist. And definitely not to the three men who were off-limits her whole damn life. But they've changed. And so has she. Diesel-the brooding mechanic with oil-stained hands and a past he's not proud of. Mack-the quiet bruiser who watches more than he speaks...and always protects what's his. Fox-the silver-tongued enforcer with too many tattoos and not enough shame. They're her dad's most trusted crew. Tight as family. Lovers, even. She's not supposed to want them. They're definitely not supposed to want her. But some rules were made to be broken. As sparks ignite and buried truths come to light, Dani finds herself caught between loyalty, desire, and a second chance at a kind of love she never saw coming-one that's wild, unorthodox, and utterly hers. In this town, love rides hard, loyalty rides harder-and Dani's about to learn what it means to truly come home.

Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.
