(Book 2 of the Reverse series. This is a stand-alone story) What is a young boy to do when he is mistaken as a girl after stealing and offered a lifeline from possibly being hung, working as a service maid? Go along with the misunderstanding, of course. Harper intends to work his hands to the bone for his new master, an older earl who was in desperate need of a replacement for two of his workers that had left earlier in the season.

Falling in love with his polar opposite wasn't something Ian had planned. In fact, the only plan he'd had was to try and save enough money to be able to afford one meal a day on top of his rising rent. Yet somehow, he ended up stumbling across an ad for a video game while browsing online, and in it was one of their more popular streamers. Though, honestly, the guy hadn't looked all that great, and his hair seemed to need a good scrub, along with his wrinkled clothing, but for some reason, he hadn't been able to look away... even as the ad replayed itself over and over and over again.

Hitting rock bottom wasn't something Baron had ever planned to do, but things didn't always turn out the way one wanted. His fiancé of four years turned into a demon as soon as they said "I do." He tried to work through it. Tried to manage three jobs while still existing in his daughter's life, but, evidently, it just wasn't meant to be. His wife pushed him away and took custody of their baby, broke his heart after stealing his dying father's money, and severely damaged his will to live...

Corey is the shy young artistic intern. The ink was barely dry on his Degree, but he managed, with the help of a childhood friend to land a sweet job with Roche Marketing Inc., where his creativity can shine. On his very first day of work he literally ran smack dab into the Sexiest man he had ever laid his eyes on and it was like he was struck by lightning when none other than Marcus Roche, the CEO of the company, stopped his fall. The man's touch seared him, marked him and even though the man was his boss, Corey wanted desperately to belong to him. Marcus Roche is the brilliant force behind his company, the CEO of Roche Marketing INC. His cold and unyielding personality commanded respect and perfection of those around him. His personal life was no different, Marcus is a Dominant, an badass one at that, he craved to have sweet little boys kneeling at his feet worshipping him, he was content to have his subs fawning all over him at his club, The Dungeon; but he had no desire to have a relationship with any of them outside of the playrooms. What will happen to his well organized world when a young intern literally stumbles into life with big innocent blue eyes that he felt could see right into his soul?

(Can be read as a stand-alone but it is a spin-off from Bleeding Heart and I'd recommend looking at that one first to get a better idea of his previous situation) No good deed goes unpunished. Not even for the king of wolves. Marquise had been one of the first werewolves to settle into society with his pack. He had paid a high price for the relative safety, though. He had forced his wolf to become a test subject for science, and while its blood had helped countless humans, in the end, not only had he destroyed his other half, rotting it to the bone and forcing it to seal itself away within him, he had also unintentionally brought chaos and pain upon the other wolves he had recruited to live within the city. Now, left with nothing, not even a wolf of his own, Marquise leaves London and enters the dangerous forests surrounding it, intent on allowing his body to finish decaying until it took his life... if a feral wolf didn't get to him first.

Blake did the last thing he could possibly think of to escape an addictive, abusive relationship. He dropped what he was doing and, under the ruse of simply going out of town for a convention, left town with just a suitcase and a tiny shred of hope that things could possibly get better... Can be read as stand-alone but would advise reading Snake first.
