Sold from a dysfunctional family on the brink of Russian poverty to an opulent but oppressive Arabian palace, a young girl named Anya becomes an unwilling second wife to the Sheikh's eldest son. Struggling against the harsh reality of an abusive relationship in the desert, Anya's finds solace in unsuspecting, and possibly unfavourable places but when desperation forces her to make friends with two foreigner's, Anya might just have a chance at freedom. Jenna's past nips at her heels, the dark cloud never far behind her, but work, dance and her kind-of-family keep her tethered and strong. When one of her pillars collapses, a surprising and unconventional one starts to form in the dust. Her history is brought to the forefront again and again, but now she just might be strong enough to face those few remaining demons and even find some good in the terrible. For those who like books with strong women who know what they want (well, in bed at least), gorgeous and funny men (because boring is never cute), gooood sex with a load of dirty talk and a bunch of family and friends who tell you how it is. Oh and always a HEA!

Calvin Sumner is just trying to find a job, pass his classes, get into college, and maybe kiss a few boys if he can manage it. He never thought he'd find himself working in a cupcake cafe, or falling in love with his brooding, ex-military boss who has more tattoos than he has words to give. But Cas isn't going to complain. Not when he's finally making some money, doing well in his courses, has a pretty good sports scholarship in his future, and gets to kiss Dresden Gibson as much as he wants (and he wants to, a lot).

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes, etc.)
