From the moment we locked eyes, Mark Walker wanted to own me. Rich, smooth-talking, and handsome as sin, he swept me away to his glamorous world and put a giant rock of a diamond on my finger before I could blink. We were happy at first. We built a home, a family, and a life that seemed perfect on paper. Until one day, I messed it all up with the first man to steal my heart. Fifteen miserable years later, Mark still hasn’t forgiven me. Night after night, he doles out his punishment, humiliating me by sleeping with countless young women under the noses of our friends and family. I know I’m not perfect, but even sinners deserve to keep a shred of dignity. I can’t do this anymore. We’ve already broken our vows. Now, it’s time to break off our marriage. Yet when I tell him my decision, his reaction is not what I expect. Even after everything—even though he loathes me—he refuses to let me go.

What happens when a virgin raised in purity culture asks her gorgeous, player best friend to take her V-card? I’ve been in love with Cole Walker since the first day he walked into class and sat beside me. How could I not? Six foot five, gorgeous, and a sweetheart to boot. He’s charming enough to get any girl he wants. The plan was to make him fall in love with me, get married, and give him all my firsts. Too bad for me, he’s never once looked at me that way. Brought up in purity culture, I don’t know how to flirt. I’ve been stuck in the friend-zone for years. It’s time to move on and start living my life. This summer, I’m going to ask him to take my V-card with no strings attached. But when I tell Cole my request, his reaction is not what I expect. He’s furious and over-the-top protective. He won’t touch me, but apparently no one else can either? It doesn’t make any sense. Until we share a kiss that makes the world stand still, and I begin to wonder…maybe I’ve misread him all along.

She's a good girl raised in purity culture. He's the campus bad boy. When he uses her to get revenge, stealing her virginity, she steals his heart instead. Beautiful and prim Vanessa is the perfect pawn in Carter’s revenge scheme. Who better to humiliate his wealthy religious family than the girl who just announced on social media that she’s planning to lose her virginity in thirty days? Their arrangement will just be an exchange of services. He’ll let her tell the world the campus player took her virginity, and she’ll give him the opportunity he’s been waiting years for. But after one taste of her, he wants so much more than petty revenge… He wants her body as well as her heart. He wants everything.

When I became a pastor, I made a solemn vow to I wouldn’t touch another woman until I met my destined wife. For three years, I’ve had no trouble keeping that promise. Until my best friend's youngest daughter became my intern. Mariana is everything I shouldn’t crave—free\-spirited, unapologetically atheist, and way too young for me. And yet I want her with a fevered obsession, even if it means betraying the trust of my best friend. Giving in to lust would be a sin of the highest order. Is God testing me? I know I need to resist her, but every time her eyes twinkle with mischief, every time that teasing smile tugs at her full lips, I forget my devotion to my church. I forget the promises I made to God. I forget everything but the woman who might be my undoing. Father forgive me, I’m going to sin.

He’s my older brother’s best friend. Always in control–until he kisses me. Ethan Harrington—my brother’s perfect, untouchable, and annoyingly gorgeous best friend–is my next-door neighbor and always watching me. To the world, he's the university’s golden boy on a fast track to the NFL. To him, I'm the reckless party girl who needs to grow up. Except, I’m not that girl anymore. I barely sleep, unable to forget the night that changed everything for me. After trying to prove I could still be the fun person I used to be, I try to sneak back into my sorority after curfew. Ethan is outside, watching and waiting, like he always is. Protective and overbearing. As we argue, he can’t seem to stop staring at my mouth. My brother has made it clear to all his teammates I’m off limits, but that was never a problem for Ethan. He’s a virgin, saving himself for his future wife. He’d never want me. Or so I thought. When his iconic control snaps, his lips crash into mine, leaving me breathless. Ethan Harrington might have a weakness. Me.
