After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

After the sudden death of her guardian, Luciana, Serafina is uprooted from everything she's ever known and brought to a sprawling, terrifying estate in northern Italy. Her new life is ruled by cold, unreadable men who terrify everyone but speak to her in quiet, unfamiliar tenderness. As Serafina tries to adjust to governesses, towering gothic halls, and brothers who seem more like shadows than people, she begins to suspect that the past she was told isn't the full truth. Why was she hidden from them all her life? Why does no one speak of her parents? And why does every hallway seem to whisper secrets? Each brother wears a mask. But Serafina isn't just a little sister. She's a Lombardi. And she's going to find out the truth - even if it unravels everything they've tried to protect her from.

Whisked away to New York, she finds herself in a palace of cold steel and burning loyalty, under the protection of five ruthless brothers who rule a criminal empire. She was born in silence. They raise her in steel. But beneath the violence lies something unexpected-soft hands, warm arms, a family that will kill for her, die for her... and teach her, at last, how to live. Book 1
