Bree never planned on becoming a dancer-especially not at one of the busiest clubs in the city. Filling in for just one night was supposed to be temporary, but one performance on stage turns into something more when she realizes how much money-and attention-comes with it. Navigating smoky rooms, flashing lights, and the dangerous game of seduction, Bree is thrown into a world of secrets, competition, and temptation. But when Bryson, a smooth-talking charmer, and Cortez, his cold, commanding best friend, both enter her orbit, the nights at the club suddenly feel a lot more complicated. Caught between proving she belongs, keeping her confidence intact, and figuring out what she really wants, Bree learns fast that in this business every move is a performance-on and off the stage. A story of temptation, control, and discovering power in unexpected places.

She thought no one would ever save her. Trapped in a toxic, abusive relationship, Lila had learned to hide her bruises and her pain. Until one night, headlights cut through the darkness, and a stranger on a motorcycle ripped her world apart. He tore open her boyfriend's car door, delivered the kind of justice she'd only dreamed of, and then vanished into the night. She never expected to see him again. But fate has other plans. At a crowded bar, she finds herself drawn to a cold, magnetic man who watches her like he knows every secret she's tried to bury. She doesn't recognize him-but he remembers her. And when their paths keep colliding, she discovers he isn't just some mysterious biker... he's dangerous, tied to her brother's shadowy business in ways that could shatter everything. He was supposed to be untouchable. She was supposed to be off-limits. But somewhere between the secrets, the scars, and the late-night encounters, he finds himself breaking his own rules-because for the first time, he doesn't just want to protect her. He wants to love her.

He was never looking for rescue. Seth Alvarez survives by staying invisible, drifting through life from one job to another just to make ends meet for his sick mom. His only rule is to keep his head down and his mouth shut. But his silence fails him when he stammers a clumsy greeting and draws the attention of Cali, a cold-blooded enigma tied to the syndicate, who offers him a job he can't refuse. The cost of a tempting contract. Plunged into her world of whispered threats and intoxicating deception, Seth walks the thin line between gratitude and fear. Now, the greatest threat comes from within: a sharp, undeniable attraction he doesn't dare name.
