Pierce Lockland's reputation as a playboy and all around ladies man is hard earned. With a massive muscular build and a panty-dropping smile, Pierce looks more like a male model than a former Marine sniper, but that doesn't make him any less lethal. As a member of Bravo Team at Knight Security, Pierce is a trained killing machine, but making enemies for a living doesn't go without consequence. His arrogance is justified by his kill count and he fears no enemy, but the demons of his past may have found his only weakness and her name is Natalie Hart. (This is the second book in the Knight Security Series, but can also be read as a stand alone)

Declan "Boss" Packard is dominating and powerful, with a deep need for control. Being the leader of a Special Ops team at Knight Security, his missions are priority and his teammates are his life. The word "love" has never been a part of Declan's vocabulary and he has never been interested in romantic bullshit, but Lexi Bradshaw changes that in an instant. Lexi awakens every protective and possessive fiber of Declan's being, but when her past returns to haunt her can Declan surrender his need for control in order to save her life?

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Connor Bedard's trade to the New Jersey Devils should be a fresh start-a chance to leave the past behind and finally focus on hockey. But Chicago never really let him go. Years of emotional, physical, and psychological abuse from his former teammates left scars deeper than anyone realizes. The Blackhawks shaped a false public image of him-quiet, focused, robotic-while hiding the truth: he was isolated, manipulated, and broken down piece by piece. Now, in New Jersey, he doesn't know how to exist without constantly watching his back. Jack and Luke Hughes take him in, treating him like family, but Connor struggles to believe it's real. The team welcomes him with open arms, but the smallest things send him spiraling into old fears. And when the Devils start noticing-really noticing-Connor is forced to decide: can he finally let people in? Or will he always be the kid from Chicago, trapped in a place he no longer belongs? This is a story of healing, found family, and learning to trust again-even when the past refuses to stay buried.

"Останови машину," I commanded. (Stop the car) The driver, whose name I'd forgotten, obeyed. Stepping out, I walked towards the boys, hearing their laughter and insults. I jogged over, drawing my gun from the holster at my waist, and snapped, "Тебя никто не учил манерам?" (Did no one ever teach you any manners?) The color drained from their faces, and they scattered. Approaching the corner where they had been standing, my heart clenched. There, on the cold ground, lay a girl, shivering in nothing but a dirty, torn t-shirt. ♡♡︎♡︎ A small, naive girl with no shelter. A feared mafia boss known as the Angel of Death...What will happen when their paths cross?
