(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

{2025 The AMBY Awards QUALIFIER} "I've always been a good girl. But now I wake up wet... moaning a stranger's name... with bruises I can't explain." Gabriella May Carter was raised in scripture and silence, home-schooled by a fire-and-brimstone pastor, taught to fear her body and anything that made it burn. But when strange, erotic dreams begin haunting her nights-dreams of a man with sin on his breath and blood on his tongue-she joins a mission trip to New Orleans to pray the sin away. Instead, she finds him. Flesh and blood. Fangs and silk. Stefan Lazarescu is the ancient mob king of the underworld-dealer of blood, broker of bodies, destroyer of men. But when he sees her step off that missionary bus, modest dress clinging to her thighs in the Louisiana heat, he knows something's wrong. She smells like Heaven. But she tastes like prophecy. Stefan is the key to Gabriella's awakening-and her ruin. She's the one meant to end him. But neither of them can resist what's coming next... A moan. A bite. A war between what's holy and what's damned. God won't save her now. But Stefan might sin with her slow enough to make her beg.
