Tricking Astrid
Astrid was crazy about her boyfriend Remy, but something drew her to the new boss Calder, making her want to revert to shameful tendencies where nothing mattered as long as a burning passion waited. Choosing one man over the other sends Astrid into a tailspin, causing her to do things she never dreamed of, but maybe she doesn't have to choose-if she overcomes her distrustful insecurities. Remy knows Astrid is the one, his last chance at love, but every day he withholds his true self; she slips further away. His past is one of tragic endings and police reports. When another man tries to steal his girl, all his demons come home to roost as he struggles to let Astrid make her own choices in love. Keeping her from discovering how dark his taste can become impossible when all he wants is to keep her pleading his name-either in ecstasy or pain. Calder comes from a family demanding he always remain perfectly golden. Meeting Astrid unbalanced his life, falling for her sweet smiles and genuine interest in him, not just his wealth. Remy was not a threat because he trusted Astrid to make her own decisions in love and life. Lies unravel, bets are made, and violence ensues, drawing all three together in a way no one expected but one twisted individual in the shadows taunting their happiness with promised spilled blood. *WARNING INTENDED FOR 18 AND OLDER READERS.

Cove Bentley. River Smith. Two complete opposites. While Cove has lots of friends, a great personality and an innocent aurora; River is cold, reserved, cruel, and most importantly, absolutely terrifying.

River is quick to put his claim on Cove, and anyone who tries to interfere with their relationship ends up....not doing so well. Everything is perfect, River is the protective and caring boyfriend that everyone needs. Cove is the loyal and adorable girlfriend that everyone wants. But there's no such thing as perfect. When the truth about River's secret, or not so secret life reveals itself, will it scare Cove enough to run for the hills? Will their happy relationship be enough to make her stay?

And Cassian grew to hate Apple more then he'd ever hated anyone before. What could have happened between these two all those years ago?
