With his tightened fists, he stormed through the house in search for Elsie. Dima laughed, circling his arm around her swiftly. "You're trying to run from me?" he rasped lowly. His face leaned down so, so close to hers. "You think you can out run me, huh? Think you can get away? Wanna try?" Elsie's eyes were wild, wondering if he was serious. The look in his eyes made her chubby thighs squish together and he grinned wolfishly. "Wh-What if I don't run?" "I'll walk out of the house and you'll never have to see me again." "What if... you catch me?" Dima hummed quietly, "You hear me out for ten minutes. That's my reward. And I'll choose your penalty." "If I win... If I win you apologize on hands and knees." "Deal. Go." ~~ With a chip on his shoulder and something to prove, Dima Ivanov has branched off from his successful- deadly- family to take over a portion of the underground crime business himself.

Emory Hart is a simple woman. She loves her family, enjoys her trips to the book store and to the coffee shop and she can never turn down her best friend when it comes to random nights full of chaos. She's content. All it takes is one run in with the one person she never seemed to win over and a surprise visit from her brother to shift Emory's whole world on its axis. After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge. It's not because he can't win her over with the same easy going routine he uses with everyone else. It is simply because he can't find himself wanting to. No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.

When Ivy Lancaster, a young and successful publisher, saves a family farm in an old rundown town, her life is flipped on its axis. Her charity puts her on the radar of the man who runs all of Sin Sity. His gang has had the city on lockdown for years, and he's at the heart of it all. And now, she's been pulled into this life too. One she never expected. The one she'd only read about in books. Alongside him and his bestfriend, she'll have to learn how to survive this new life she's been pulled into. Or go back to the mundane, calm life at her desk. And she's not sure which is worse. **** I know I shouldn't. I know I should be disgusted by the thought of his hands on me. He is a killer. He's psychotic. He's forcing me to be here. And yet, I can't make myself pull away. I can't tell him to stop. Sin's fingers dip lower, playing with the lace barely covering my skin. I throw my head back against his chest, his gun still digging into my back. My eyes catching Arrows again. He hasn't moved. But his fists clench at his sides. And I wonder what it would feel like to have him pressed against my front with Sin at my back. God, what the fuck, Ivy? Why am I letting this happen? "I know you're wet for me, baby girl." Sin murmurs into my ear. "Wet for us." 'Fuck, I'm screwed' I think as Sin's fingers slip under my panties.

Tank and Maria's world is flipped upside down when they discover they're having a baby together. With everything on the line, Tank is forced to confront his past and the woman who might just be his future. But questions swirl-Is the baby his? Is Maria truly the one for him? So they keep Clashing, Fighting, Falling. And now Livvie is here. Maybe, brooding bikers can love a lot more than you expected.

A heart-pounding, opposites-attract love story where sparks fly between a brooding biker and a bubbly dreamer. Jaxon "Axe" Steele doesn't have time for softness. Cold, guarded, and impossibly charming, he's the kind of guy who thrives on chaos and speed. With piercing blue eyes, messy honey-brown hair, and a body inked with stories, Axe cuts through life's noise with a razor-sharp edge. His world revolves around his jet-black Ducati, his chosen biker family, and staying far away from anything that threatens his hard-earned control-especially love. Ivy Sinclair is a small-town girl with big dreams. Bright, optimistic, and full of life, she's chased the city lights to make a name for herself, working at her charming little café in the heart of a gritty neighborhood. With golden-blonde hair, doe-green eyes, and a smile that could melt anyone, Ivy stands out in the biker world like a burst of color. Despite her cheerful demeanor, she's no stranger to life's challenges and isn't afraid to take on anything-or anyone-that stands in her way. But when Ivy's cheerful world collides with Axe's dark, stormy life, neither of them expects what happens next. Ivy refuses to let his cold exterior push her away, and Axe finds himself drawn to her warmth-despite every instinct telling him to run. Can this unlikely pair survive the friction between their worlds, or will they crash and burn?

••••• His hand roughly grabs my chin, and my face is pulled closer to his as his lips move towards my ear, his fingers brushing a strand of my hair back. "You have to clean it up now," he murmurs, and I hum as I shuffle closer, wiping the frosting away with my finger. He watches me as I lick the frosting off my finger and push it into my mouth, wrapping my lips around it as I pull it out with a smirk tugging at my lips. "Did you enjoy that?" I whisper in his ear, and his eyes darken in response. The only response I needed. ••••• Diana La Rossi was given her first target at the age of 20, after spending her whole life in isolation.
