"Breathe." He dipped his head down so that his lips were right at my ear, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist, molding my body into his. "If you're going to fall apart,." He starts, teeth gritted. "Now's the time. I'll be here to put you back together when it's over." I squeezed my eyes shut again, and I did just that. I fell apart. ******* Secrets. Lies. Deception. Murder. I'd seen and done it all. And not willingly. So I left. I sacrificed my freedom to save myself, and the only way to ensure my own safety was to start over. Clean slate. New people. New me. But the last thing I expected when I arrived at Manonwell Prep Academy was to be bombarded by a boy-no, a man who held some unknown vendetta against me. Call it obsession, infatuation, hatred. To me it was all one in the same. He was everywhere I turned, like a shadow. Watching me. Taunting me. Haunting me. And it was all because of something I did to him a long time ago. It was something so bad that he couldn't stand me, that he wanted me dead, and the idea of making my life a living hell was something that he took pride in. But I didn't remember. I had no clue what I could've done to him in the past, but he was hellbent on pushing me until I did. My plans on starting over were shattered the minute I stepped inside that school. He was the type of person that demanded your attention without having to speak. He was untamed and wild and unhinged. But what he didn't know was that the Winter Travers that he knew in past, the one I didn't remember, was no longer alive. I was different. She was gone and I was here. And he was everything I should've been afraid of. Sinister, quiet, manipulative, but I knew it would be a cold day in hell before I let him win. Ronan was like gasoline waiting to be doused on the fire that inside me, and if he was ready to burn, then so was I.

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete.

Ira Verma never imagined her new job would land her inside the cold, echoing walls of the Rathore estate-a mansion guarded by silence, secrets, and the brooding presence of the man she's been hired to care for. Devraj Singh Rathore, heir to one of the most powerful families in India, is feared by many and understood by none. Bound to a wheelchair after a brutal attack, he shows no emotion, no warmth... and certainly no interest in the woman tending to him. At least, that's what Ira believes. What she doesn't know is that behind his still gaze lies a storm-dark, obsessive, and dangerously fixated on her. He watches when she's not looking, collects pieces of her she never gave, and burns with jealousy every time his younger brother dares to flirt with her. But Ira has a life outside this mansion. A fiancé her family chose. A future she thought she wanted. Devraj is done pretending. And when obsession begins to crack through restraint, Ira must face a chilling truth: You can only run so far... when the one who craves you is already inside your world.

...I got into my car and drove. Drove without knowing where I was going, trying to drown out the pain, the betrayal, the sheer heartbreak. Not today. Not like this.

She must return to face the demons she left behind and confront the truth about the family she both loves and resents.

A powerful story about the lies we tell for love, the price of expectation, and the unbreakable bonds that ultimately call us home.

(Book #1 of the Obsidian Syndicate) She was known for her exquisite sense of fashion, surnamed the Lady D of the Cosa Nostra, and feared for the power she wields behind the seams. He is a mafia heir with a reputation built on lies-some told for power, others for survival. Emotionless by design, he has learned that feeling nothing is safer than wanting anything. ~ While made men expected docile wives once married, the time I found men attractive was when they were silent. An honour to preserve and uphold chained me to a man whose acts weren't only questionable, but so were his morals. Vows born of blood and carved in sin. My husband-to-be was a brooding man whose gaze traced me like a weapon, his words carved fire beneath my skin. A man who saw blood as casually as water. He offered respect instead-and it burned me more than any betrayal could. Not when just his gaze lit my body on fire, and words gave me an adrenaline rush. - preview - His eyes traced my dress: from the lace lining of the decollete to the flowing white silk along my legs, and I felt completely naked under his gaze. "Are you going to stare longer?" I challenged him with a hammering heart. He stepped closer, yet kept just enough distance to torment me, lips brushing the edges of my neck. "I'll stare long enough to carve a perfect image of you in my dreams, Dušo."
