At the height of summer, Cape Cod is thick with tourists, though some are more murderous than others. Kian O'Reilly is one such visitor to the Cape. His penchant for robbing the souls of irritating beachgoers is second only to his love affair with fine cars (or rather stealing them and killing their owners). But when he ends up stranded on Cape Cod with a rare car and a dead man in the trunk, he thinks his luck couldn't get any worse. 

That is, until Ana Lane shows up.

Gifted as a mechanic and surfer, feisty Ana is not a fan of the entitled Frat Boys who show up every summer, messing with local girls. Believing Kian is nothing more than a typical rich brat, she fixes his car and ruthlessly dismantles his cocky ego, which intrigues the dangerous Soul Thief.

Before long, Kian finds himself falling for Ana and rediscovering the young human man he once was in the process. But when the painful truth behind the real Ana Lane comes to light, Kian may go back to his killer ways to save the one girl he truly loves from the very human monster she lives with . . .

Salvation (Heal Me Series Book 1) by Stephanie John by stephaniejohnauthor

Powerfully passionate, breathtakingly sexy and completely addictive. This is no ordinary billionaire romance. Read the first few chapters of my debut novel here! Available on Amazon and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Blurb: A chance meeting turned my world inside out. Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me. My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew. I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist. The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we'd share. Or need. The suffering inside me reflects his - a pain I know he feels, but can't bring himself to reveal. I have no idea his love can heal me - that mine can heal him... ...if only I can let down my guard for him and trust. Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be. Intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to the sexual content and explicit language used throughout. Please note that even though this story is set in the United States, it is written from the POV of the female lead who is English, therefore British English vocabulary and spelling has been used.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

Coming from abuse and chaos, Rowan survives on a steady stream of illegal money and exciting adventures. Rowan loves Leilani, and not because of the challenge or adrenaline of a chase. But he's having trouble convincing her of that. If falling in love is a dangerous wave, these two friends are a tsunami.
