Book 2 of the Valenteno Saga 
Brandon barely survived the Ross cartel's hell. Scarred but standing, he's trying to rebuild a life under the protection of the Valenteno empire. But safety is an illusion-and his past isn't finished with him yet.

Haunted by memories he buried deep, Brandon finds himself pulled into a web of violence, betrayal, and power games when a ghost from his former life resurfaces with one goal: destroy everything he's begun to love. At the center of it all are the Valenteno twins-Nicolás and Nicole. Identical in looks, but each deadly in their own right, they're known for being ruthless enforcers... and now, unexpectedly, his lovers.

What starts as attraction becomes obsession. What once was protection becomes possession. And as their three-way connection deepens, so does the danger surrounding them.

Enemies are closing in. Trust is fragile. And when Brandon's deepest secrets are exposed, the price of love may be blood.

In this brutal continuation of the Valenteno Saga, the past doesn't stay buried. It waits, armed and patient-and this time, it wants everything.

55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

She is my precious prize possession, and nobody fucking ordered me to do such thing, especially not my Bambolina.

[Can be a stand alone!][Book 3] {Valleyside Pack} Christopher, Nicholas, and Caroline are first born triplets of Aaron and Vanessa Henderson. Normally, the alpha title would fall to the first born, but the title was passed to the three of them. Valleyside has three alphas, all of which are very closely united. Aaron's second born, Lukas, has earned the position of beta, seeing that previous alphas Milo and Will couldn't have biological children. Now, at the age of twenty-two, the triples are still unmated, and it's about time they find their mate. Christopher and Nicholas have always shared everything- from food to clothes and even lovers. It came to no surprise that they ended having to share a mate, too. Only... their mate is human. Now they have to earn his trust, earn his approval, and most of all, earn his love. Brandon Privati has been on the run with his older brother, Ian, for the past two years. After things got ugly at home, they left without turning back. With danger after them, both brothers are taken to the growing town of Berry Canester in the middle of the woods. It seemed closed enough, safe enough to settle for the remainder of Brandon's education. Only... another type of danger greets them and it isn't long until the two alphas find their mate. It isn't long before the danger finds them and it isn't long before secrets are brought to the surface. Only... Brandon doesn't know what is more dangerous- the two men who easily heated his body and create a fire, a flame, that completely burned him up... or his father. {Mature Audiences}

Book 3 Valentijn Jansen is happy with the role he has been assigned for almost eighteen years. From a young age, it's his job to protect the growing Camilla and he does so to the great satisfaction of his employer. He violently suppresses his blossoming love for the girl, their age difference is simply too great; not to mention their different statuses in life, and moreover he misses something crucial between them; something he can't name. So far, he is trying to control that feeling by getting rid of his energy in the gym, but actually he needs more. Silas Müller saw the big, strong man once and the image of Valentijn being under his mercy has been haunting his mind ever since. As soon as he gets the opportunity to own him - and even in a legal way that is - he knows that he has to seize it with both hands. For this it's the intention that he marries, although that will not be with the source of his desire. Camilla Vaagevuur knows that she must escape her father's oppression, because as soon as she turns eighteen, he sells her to the highest bidder. Her life wasn't that much already, but she know it will only get more hellish from that point on. Her plan unfortunately doesn't work out, but that turns out to be less bad than expected, because this brings her face to face with the most handsome, but sadistic man she's ever seen. Maybe he can appease some of the guilt that has bothered her since birth. ... Disclaimer: English is not my native language, please bear with me. Corrections are appreciated.
