My name is Kenneth Klein, CEO of Klein Investments Inc. and one of the richest men in the world. Few things faze me but when I see Kasey at a company retreat in Hawaii, something roars in me from out of nowhere. A hunger. A primal need to be with her and claim her as my own. I think for a moment that finding out she’s my son’s girlfriend is enough to quash my animalistic desire. But he breaks up with her in front of me—in front of my other employees—and humiliates her. Protectiveness surges in my chest but a dark part of me is ecstatic I can now have her for myself. The more time I spend with Kasey, the more consumed I am by this obsession. Obsession to make her mine. And mine alone. I am nothing if not persistent. And I feel sorry for anything—or anyone—who tries to get between me and her. Only fools will want to stand in my way.

In the chaos of the emergency room, our eyes lock, my heart slamming in my ribcage at the sight of her. Haley Lyons—a woman who hits me like a lightning strike and who I instantly know is mine. Except, she’s not just any other patient. She's my son's ex-girlfriend. And he’s right there, sitting next to my little girl, watching me look over every inch of her. I should resist her. Resist the fierce hunger and possessiveness she raises in me. But Haley's beauty even in her moments of illness overwhelms my senses. In her presence, everything else fades. I'm consumed by a wicked need to make this young and innocent angel my own, to possess her completely. She’s off-limits. Or at least, she’s supposed to be. But, unless it concerns my patients, I’ve never been good at following rules. So I will have her. I’ll stake my claim and bind her to me…forever. Because what’s life without her? Good f\*cking thing I’ll never have to find out.

In the midst of a blizzard, Melody is thrust into my life, recently homeless and seeking shelter. She’s here as my son’s guest and girlfriend…or she was five minutes ago. It makes my blood boil when I personally witness how he refuses to respect what she wants. I didn’t raise him to be a boy who doesn’t understand what ‘no’ means. So he leaves, and it fills me with sick satisfaction when she breaks up with him. And Melody… She may be my son’s ex, but she’s still off-limits…or at least, she’s supposed to be. She’s too young, too innocent, and I should be nowhere near her. But…she’s like an itch I can’t scratch. And I’m gonna lose my mind if I don’t have her soon. I can sense on a primal frequency that whatever I feel isn’t one-sided. A self-made billionaire, I’m unyielding and possessive. What’s mine is mine. And that’s exactly what Melody is now. She just doesn’t know it yet. I’m going to have her—body and soul. She won’t just find a house to live in. She’ll find a home…with me. Forever.

Ending up at the tattered booth in the dirty diner was a mistake, but as soon as I saw her—Teagan—I knew that I was well and truly f\*cked. Never in my life have I wanted anything more than I did that curvy, sweet-faced blond waitress, and I always get what I want. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to prove how dangerous I can be, but I’ll burn the world to the ground to have her. And when she looks at me with those shining green eyes, I’m sure she wants me to. She’s going to be mine, and she doesn’t even know it yet. Teagan needs someone to take care of her, and I might have been a violent man before, but I’m ready to protect this girl. Too bad the only thing that stands in my way just so happens to be my own son.

When my son comes into the office to inform me that his girlfriend will start working in my company, I almost throw him out onto the street. No one tells me what to do, least of all this good-for-nothing boy who acts like he's entitled to everything. I’m ready to tell the girl I’m not hiring, but when she steps into the room and meets my gaze, I feel naked hunger all the way to the marrow of my bones. I want her. But she’s off-limits. I shouldn’t even think about how my body goes haywire in her presence. I shouldn't think about her. Period. But when she breaks up with him, my conscience is nowhere to be found. I burn with the need to have her and mark her as mine. And Blair…she may be young and innocent. But she knows. What Daddy Daddy gets.

This Thanksgiving, I was looking forward to some peace and quiet. My son, Brody, bringing home his latest girlfriend…not so much. But when the most gorgeous little girl on the face of the f\cking planet climbs out of his car, all bets are off. Delia is mine from the second I see her. Especially when I find out they’ve broken up. She’s a ray of sunshine I don’t deserve, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her go once she gives herself to me. Brody has other plans, though. After treating her like shit, he and his friend try to ruin us, come between us, and make Delia cry. Who the f\ck do they think they are? What right do they have putting her through this? Fury curls hot and unstoppable in my gut because as long as I’m alive, no one will ever hurt her. No one. Not even my own son. He’ll learn the hard way that Delia and I aren’t playing around and just hooking up. No! This is for life. This is forever. The sooner he gets that through his thick skull, the better.

All I'm doing is substituting for a class. It's easy. Simple. I'll teach a couple of lectures and collect a paycheck, no problem. But the first time I lay eyes on Noelle, everything changes. She's gorgeous, smart, and sweet, and I burn with desire for her, a never-ending fever under my skin. I struggle to find my breath when she’s around, trying to distance myself. But…I should’ve known that eventually my tether would snap. When it does, staying away from her is no longer possible. I'm determined to make her mine, but there's just one problem—she's my son's ex-girlfriend. Unfortunately for him, zero part of me cares.
