Striking a deal with Death can have dangerous effect - especially when you end up in a love triangle with one of its reapers, while fighting for your life in a deadly underworld competition. *** Percy Spring has always been able to see the darker side of the world - ever since the car accident that almost claimed her life, she has gained the ability to see demons and Death's reapers. But when Death itself offers her a second chance at life, she knows she can't pass it up. In order to save her friends, Percy agrees to enter The Game - a deadly competition in the underworld where no one is as they seem. As Percy navigates the dangerous world of The Game, she realizes that she has been placed in competition with one of Death's reapers, Ryder, with whom she has a complicated past. To make matters even more complicated, she is also competing against Death's jealous mistress. When the other players start to die, Percy must decide who she can trust in order to emerge victorious. As she struggles to outwit Death and save her friends, Percy must also confront her own feelings and decide where her loyalties lie. Can she trust Ryder, the reaper with whom she shares a tumultuous history, or Blake, the mysterious man who promised to help her save her friends? And can Percy truly trust either of them? Striking a deal with Death has never been more dangerous, and the consequences of Percy's choices will have a lasting impact on her future. Will she come out on top, or will she be caught in Death's deadly game forever? *** "Percy Spring, you are offered a second chance." "A second chance," she repeated. "This mean I will come back to life?" "The game of second chance was created for people whose fate is in doubt of whether their time has come or not. It is also for those who wish to go out on a limb and try their luck in winning with me," Death started explaining. "You will be put in the game, and we will play."

Ace Allister is a cunning and ruthless monster. Gianna Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman who will stop at nothing to destroy him for the murder of her brother. When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both. Gianna has one goal: get Ace to fall in love with her, and then kill him. Ace has another: get Gianna to fall in love with him, so she can't. And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.

When you're trapped between a crooked cop and the leader of a powerful mafia family, sometimes the only way to get yourself out is to dive back in. Sadie Sorento thinks she's left the mafia life behind. But when she finds herself in hot water with the police, she is offered a choice: go back to where she came from and spy on Brandon Avenetti, feared mafia leader and her ex-boyfriend, or her brother goes to jail. Returning to her old world of drugs, violence, and a ruthlessly attractive former lover proves more complicated than she'd ever imagined, however, and the passion Sadie and Brandon had both thought was dead in the water proves to be as dangerously intense as the cop hunting them. Now, Sadie and Brandon will have to play dirty if they're going to take down a man hell-bent on destroying them both; because if they don't, their families, their relationship, and their very lives will be on the line.
