A brand new spicy, high\-angst romance from Catharina Maura—the highly anticipated, standalone spin\-off of the Windsors series. When the man she's always been in love with starts dating one of her friends, artist Serenity Adesina creates a to\-do list that will help her get over him once and for all. The first item on that list? Losing her virginity to Archer Harrison, her older brother's billionaire best friend…and her boss. He's the perfect choice—alluring, caring, and entirely emotionally unavailable. Their deal was supposed to be simple: Serenity will paint Archer anything he wants in return for a secret, no\-strings\-attached relationship. Except each kiss leaves them both wanting more, tempting them to risk it all for what's growing between them. That is, until a cruel twist of fate shows them that giving in to their feelings comes at a far higher cost than they could've imagined.

She has it all … except for him. As the youngest member of a wealthy family, Wren Kensington has had plenty of practice playing the part of the superficial socialite. A trip to the Hamptons was supposed to be the start of a typical summer, but nothing is ordinary about the seismic moment she meets Sawyer Bennett. Not the cliffside setting, not his aggravating attitude, and especially not her sudden inability to focus on anything but him. Sawyer avoids the Hamptons's elite as much as his job at the local marina allows. Then suddenly, he can't go a single day without some reminder of Wren. She's everywhere: his work, his town, his thoughts. A blonde distraction he doesn't want or need, especially as he copes with the aftermath of twin tragedies that tore his family apart and scrambled his future. They agree: it’s a summer fling. Brief... until it stretches seasons. Contained... until it cross continents. Superficial... until they’re guarding each other's secrets. Neither believe it will work between them. But there's only so long they can fight the pull of the tide, and love might be the one thing that can save them from drowning.

A secret. A line they shouldn't cross. A love they will never forget. DOMINIC WATSON has always been MIA ASHTON’s weakness. Her brother’s best friend. Her neighbor. And later…her stepbrother. Her crush on him was never meant to be more than unrequited love. But one night and a pair of masks changed everything.

Their relationship was a whirlwind of passion and love, until one day he pushed her away, breaking her heart with a lie she never saw coming. Now, four years later, Mia is back in town for her brother’s wedding. All she wants is closure, to know the truth about why Dominic broke her heart so she can move on. But Dominic never stopped loving her, and he won’t give up until she’s his again. Four days stuck in a cabin together. Two people who were once each other’s everything. And one chance to figure out if the fire between them has died. Years ago, they ran from their love. What would happen if they stopped and gave in to the connection? \_ DEVIOUS LOVE is a steamy stepbrother / brother's best friend romance.
