Suited for an audience 18 and older. Read at your own discretion. *** "Don't think for a second I don't hate you any less because we're married," I hiss out. Seeing Gabriel's growing smirk only pisses me off more. "If I knew what I was signing up for when I agreed to this then I would have ripped that stupid contract up the first chance I got." My sentence trails off when Gabriel takes another step towards me, then another until he's towering over me. I can feel how huge my eyes become when he slams my back to the bathroom door, wrapping his hand around my throat and pressing it to the wood. A gasp escapes me when Gabriel squeezes it, squeezing until I'm panting for every breath. I can already feel my body betraying me, though. My words may be telling him how much I despise him, but my body knows what the truth is and it shows from the growing arousal between my legs. "Don't be so crude, princesa," Gabriel mutters, forcing my head back to stare into his blazing brown eyes. "Let's not forget that we're a happily married couple. So I suggest you walk into that meeting with a smile on your face... Unless you'd rather have them all listen to me fuck the attitude out of you instead." ***

"Let me make something clear-being the center of my attention is not a safe place to be." For a moment, the words hung like a blade between them. Rose only tilted her chin, her lips curving with dangerous playfulness. She lifted her head just enough to steal a kiss, soft and fleeting, before his glare could stop her. When she pulled back, her smile deepened, eyes glittering with defiance. "I love being the center of your attention." Rose DiMaggio should not be drawn to a man like Saint. He's a silent, dangerous prisoner in a psychiatric ward-watchful, controlled, and utterly uninterested in reassuring anyone. Rose is sharp enough to know better and reckless enough not to care. His silence irritates her. His attention hooks her. The spark between them is immediate and unmistakably wrong. When they discover they belong to rival mafia families, staying away becomes a matter of survival. They are not safe together. They are not meant to work. And yet, they choose each other-again and again-knowing the cost. Because some souls aren't redemptive. They're destructive. And neither of them wants saving.

When a murder shakes her tiny village, Alera will discover a horrifying link between the scars on her arms and the werewolves and vampires that stalk her home. ***** Nineteen-year-old Alera has grown up in the village of Adaymos, listening to stories about the monsters that live in the forest that surround her home. Labelled an outcast because of the scars on her arm, she's an easy scapegoat after one of the villagers is found murdered, but when newcomer Will is framed instead she's forced to question everything she knows about the mysterious outsider. Could he really be the killer? Or is he hiding more about the werewolves and vampires that live in the forest -- and the truth behind Alera's scars -- than he lets on?

Milena, an obedient teenager, has to team up with the supernatural creatures she was taught to fear in order to escape the people she once loved. ***** In a world where humans must hide underground to stay safe from the creatures who roam the night, Milena's life as an outcast is hardly worth noticing.

| Book One in Bonded Series | *if you're new, please start reading at the second part named "prologue", not the one that says original version... unless you'd like to read both!* Tradition states that the Goddess pairs you with the person that completes you in every way. The whole idea implies that you give something to your mate that they are missing, that together you are better than you were apart.
