Dante is a man who lives for the night-hookups, no feelings, no attachments. Until Serena storms into his world-a fierce, dominant woman who claims him like a prize. She's possessive, unapologetic, and used to being in control. But when she falls for the notorious player, their fiery game of power and desire spirals into something neither expected. In a world where love means possession and passion demands dominance, who will control the other-and who will finally surrender? Warning: Dark romance with intense possessiveness, power struggles, and a love that burns too hot to tame.

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.
