❝Book 3 in the 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 series His hand comes down hard on my ass─𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘱─then squeezes the flesh firmly, fingers digging in before releasing, the rhythm matching every sharp snap of his hips behind me. He leans forward over me, one hand braced beside mine on the counter, boxing me in. The other slides down from my waist to my hips, gripping and shifting me slightly, tilting me until I'm angled exactly how he wants. "You like this position, don't you?" He mutters roughly, adjusting me again, yanking my hips back into him so every thrust lands deeper and harder. "I like when you take control." I breathe, my voice shaky with heat. He smirks against my shoulder, giving a sharper thrust that drives straight into my core. Not enough to hurt, but enough to remind me who's setting the pace. "You say that like I ever don't." He mutters, voice rough. ❞ *** After surviving the storms that nearly tore them apart, 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 and 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 finally have what they've always wanted─each other, a home filled with love and the sweet sound of their baby boy's giggles.

"You're tense," he murmured, brushing his lips along my jaw. "Don't be. I love this-" his palm smoothed over the curve of my waist, holding me firmer, "-all of you." I wanted to argue, to shrink back from the heat pooling low in my stomach, but then he kissed me again, deeper, silencing the doubt before it could rise. "Do you want me to show you slowly..." his voice was low, steady, hot against my ear, "...or do you want to tell me first?" My heart hammered. "Show me." The smile that curved his lips against my neck was sinful, but the way his hand began to move-slow, deliberate-was reverent. - A man hard as stone falls in love with his teenage daughter's nanny, who is a ray of sunshine.

❝𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝, 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚.❞ Natalia glared at Lorenzo and tried crawling away from him once more, every cell in her body screaming for her to run as far away as she could. "How many times do I need to cum before you're satisfied?" Natalia panted against him, desperate noises leaving her mouth as the sixth orgasm started building in the pit of her stomach. Lorenzo pulled her closer when he sensed the girl crawling away, ignoring her whimpers as he grew rougher. "Until you realise this is a punishment, not a reward." "And when has excessive orgasms ever been a punishment?" "Let's see if you'll think the same in a few hours." ❦ Natalia Martin was simply on a work trip. Simply on a work trip when she happened to meet Lorenzo Valiente, not knowing that kissing him would change her life, not knowing that taking him to her hotel room would change her life, not knowing that offering him to stay would change her life. But neither had Lorenzo. Lorenzo Valiente hadn't expected that having sex with the strange woman would force her into hiding and that he'd feel compelled to take her in and undo what wrongs he had done by accidentally putting a bounty on her head. His status as capo dei capi had never affected the clueless women he fucked until then. And it was not like he had intended to put a million-dollar bounty on the young successful career woman's head. He just thought that her eyes were pretty. That her dimpled cheek was cute. And that her bright smile made his heart skip a beat.

"I owe you a black eye and two kisses" - Moderately based on The Punisher Series and Daredevil. What happens when Melanie's strangely quiet neighbor shows up at his door bruised, bloodied, and barely standing just as she's leaving for her night shift. As a nurse, she can't walk away. As his neighbor, she probably should.

Rafe Cameron was born to destroy things. Dalia Russo was raised never to become one of them. The Camerons and the Russos have spent decades turning Kildare into a battlefield disguised as paradise. Luxury developments, old money, whispered threats, and generations of hatred have taught Dalia one rule: Never trust a Cameron. Especially not Rafe. He's violent. Unpredictable. A man who smiles one second and loses control the next. The entire island fears him-and for good reason. Unfortunately for Dalia, hating him is easy. Staying away from him isn't. Forced into each other's lives by a business deal neither of them wants, every encounter ends the same way: another argument, another bruise to their pride, another reason to despise one another. Until hatred begins to look dangerously similar to obsession. Because beneath Rafe Cameron's rage lives something far more terrifying than violence... Need. And once he decides something belongs to him, letting go has never been one of his talents. *** An enemies-to-lovers slow burn filled with tension, obsession, family rivalry, emotional turmoil, and morally grey characters. This story contains mature themes including violence, abusive behaviour, manipulation, explicit sexual content, psychological distress, and trauma. Reader discretion is advised. Rafe Cameron is not rewritten into a hero. He is messy, unstable, cruel, vulnerable, and painfully human-just as he is in Outer Banks
