Charlie LaSalle didn't know she'd let the devil buy her a drink that night. Maybe if she had, she wouldn't have sold her soul later on. All she wanted was to get away from her chronically criminal father and crack-whore mother. She thought she had accomplished that between an acceptance to LSU's school of medicine and a steady boyfriend recently turned fiancé. But life has a way of pulling the rug out from under even the best laid plans. After catching her fiancé in bed with another woman, her plans crumble around her and she finds herself running into the arms of a man who tells her he can help solve all her problem. Who can help her achieve everything she wants to achieve. But he comes from a dark, bloody world. One that won't leave her unscathed if she accepts his offer. In a life where enough was supposed to be great fortune, Charlie made the mistake of wanting more. Cover made by @StormRidden Copyright © 2018

Aria Adkins only cares about three things: 1.) the bills piling up on her kitchen counter. 2.) getting her sister out of their dead-end hometown and off to college. 3.) keeping the bottle of Jim Beam out of her heartbroken, alcoholic mother's reach. Closed-off and content as one can be with a never ending routine of crappy part-time jobs and the task of cleaning up broken whiskey bottles, Aria is used to dealing with things by herself; especially after her father runs off and she's forced to step up to the plate and solely care for her dysfunctional mother and younger sister. At twenty-one, Aria sticks to herself and has no time for men, romance, and most of all, love. After witnessing the demise of her parents' train wreck of a marriage lead to a cycle of adultery, addiction, and abuse, she swears to herself that she wants no part in any of it. That all changes when she crosses paths with tall and tattooed New Orleans native Austin Delaney, who weasels his way into Aria's heart and refuses to let her maneuver life alone. First, he offers her a job. And then? The promise that he's not going anywhere. • Highest Ranking: #1 in New Adult Romance, #4 in Adult Romance, #22 in Romance •
