She fears the dark. He rules it. Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. Little do most know it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. Nobody can crack Gianna’s facade . . . no one anyway, until he comes along. Most see a paragon of morality; a special agent upholding the law. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never . . . One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Christian’s plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. All along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his—his frustration, his fascination. His maddest obsession.

He represents everything I hate in this world yet summons my darkest cravings. I can’t escape him. The worst part is, I’m not sure I want to. Because my life is in danger, and Conner may be the only man who can save me. A dark romance with adult themes, Silent Vows may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. But if you like your men possessive and a steamy read with a guaranteed happily ever after, this enemies to lovers arranged marriage romance will satisfy your every craving!

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride\-to\-be. Lucky me. But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever\-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover. I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong? Enter Melanie Edison, the five\-foot\-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth I’ve ever heard. And I have more fun not dating her than I did dating any woman before, even with Melanie’s absurd no\-sex\-before\-marriage rule. But when our business arrangement becomes so much more, I end up breaking my most important rule. And that’s when it all goes to hell. I have no idea how we can ever repair the damage that’s been done. I’m not even sure I want to. And maybe going back to my old life won’t be so hard. Except it’s too late. I broke my rule. And she broke me.

I hate Dante Moretti. He is cold, calculating and vicious. It’s no secret that he wiped out his former fiancée and her entire family on the eve of their wedding. He’s the kind of evil that makes even devils cry. But that’s not why I hate him. I hate him because he has taken the only thing I have left in this miserable world – my freedom. He has chained me to him because of a debt that I don’t owe. I just have the misfortune to share the bloodline of the man who does. And now I’m trapped in his gilded cage and the only thing I have left to do is run. And I try. I really do. But he is everywhere. Suffocating. All consuming. Intoxicating. He is a paradox. A man with a heart as cold as ice, whose passion rages like an inferno. Why does he see into my soul in a way that nobody else ever has? Why does the slightest brush of his skin make my pulse race? My mom always warned me never to play with matches. But if Dante Moretti is fire, then I want to burn. Dante is the first book in the Chicago Ruthless series, featuring the Moretti siblings. Each book is a standalone with a HEA. This is a spicy Dark Mafia, enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance, which features scenes of a violent nature as well as those of an explicit sexual nature.

Gio Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only. A monster. My father did everything in his power to make sure that’s exactly what I became too. He wasn’t expecting that the monster he created would be the one to take him out though. Now I’m in charge. Of the family, the empire. Everything. I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live.

But my career is way more important to me than one sinfully appetizing, hot piece of man candy. At least, I think it is… A Sinner's Promise is book 1 in the De Bellis Crime Family Saga, All books in this sereis are stand alone dark romances.

Payton Running away from home at 17 wasn’t easy. Let’s face it though, nothing before, or in the ten years since, has ever been easy for me. And I’m doing okay. Sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people’s way, off people’s minds. So when a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home, and my life, I should be scared. Frightened. Terrified. But I must be more broken than I realized, because I’m none of those things. I’m intrigued. And I’m wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him. Nero The first time I took a man’s life, I knew there’d be no going back. No normal existence in the cards for me. So instead of walking away, I climbed a mountain of bodies, and created my own destiny. By forming The Alliance. And I was fine with that. Content enough to carry on. Until I stepped through those open doors, and into her life. I should’ve walked away. Should’ve gone right back out the door I came through. But I didn’t. And now her life is in danger. But that’s the thing about being a bad man. I’ll happily paint the streets red to protect what’s mine. And Payton is mine. Whether she knows it or not.

Nach den Ereignissen der Mondfinsternis müssen Tory und Darcy lernen, mit der Dunkelheit umzugehen, die ihr Leben überschattet. Durch ein Geheimnis an Darius und Orion gebunden, müssen sie einen Weg finden, alle für das größere Wohl zusammenzuarbeiten. Doch manches ist leichter gesagt als getan ...

Nach den verheerenden Ereignissen an der Zodiac Academy müssen wir uns mit der dunkleren Welt auseinandersetzen, der wir nun gegenüberstehen. Lionel will uns verletzen, die Nymphen wollen der gesamten Feenrasse schaden, und inmitten all dessen müssen wir einfach versuchen, jeden Tag so zu überleben, wie er kommt. Ich habe Angst, dass alles auseinanderfällt, aber es sieht so aus, als wäre es das bereits.

Das Schicksal hat uns auseinandergerissen, und manchmal glaube ich, die Sterne haben uns gänzlich aufgegeben. Ohne meine Schwester scheint die Welt düsterer als je zuvor, und die Schatten werden dichter, erheben sich, um dem Ruf der Schattenprinzessin zu folgen, und verändern das Gesicht Solarias für immer. Jetzt, da Lionel Acrux die Stärke hat, nach dem Thron zu greifen, weiß ich nicht, wie viel Zeit uns noch bleibt, um ihn aufzuhalten. Unsere einzige Hoffnung ist, den Imperialen Stern vor ihm zu finden. Wir haben das Opfer gebracht, das die Sterne von uns verlangten, und zahlen den Preis für diese Entscheidung, also darf es nicht umsonst gewesen sein. Doch da sich die Sterne bei jedem Schritt gegen uns wenden und das letzte Licht der Welt zu verblassen scheint, fürchte ich, dass uns fast die Zeit ausgeht. Hoffnung ist eine gefährliche Sache. Sie ist der Schlüssel dazu, weiterzukämpfen. Aber sie könnte am Ende das sein, was uns zerstört. Eines ist sicher: Ich werde nicht aufhören, bis ich wieder mit meiner anderen Hälfte vereint bin, und gemeinsam werden wir kämpfen, um unsere Kronen zu erringen. Ein Krieg kommt. Der Thron ruft nach einem neuen Monarchen. Und jemand muss seinem Ruf folgen.

Die Winde des Schicksals drehen sich, und endlich scheint es, als hätten sie sich zu unseren Gunsten gewendet. Auf der Flucht und aus der Gesellschaft ausgestoßen, waren wir gezwungen, uns vor dem Wahnsinnigen zu verstecken, der unseren Thron gestohlen hat. Doch während immer mehr Geheimnisse ans Licht kommen und meine Schwester und ich härter denn je daran arbeiten, unser Potenzial auszuschöpfen und unser Geburtsrecht einzufordern, rückt das Ende endlich näher. Von diesem Weg gibt es jetzt kein Abweichen mehr. Der Fluch ist uns dicht auf den Fersen, während die Zeit verrinnt und das blutgetränkte Schicksal des Mannes, den ich liebe, immer näher rückt, genau wie das Monster, das unseren Thron gestohlen hat. Wir müssen uns auf die letzte Schlacht vorbereiten, doch drei Dinge sind jetzt klar. Die Karten sind bereits ausgeteilt. Blut wird fließen, damit eine neue Zukunft entstehen kann. Und nicht einmal die Sterne selbst können uns helfen. Der Kampf um den Thron steht bevor. Heil dem herzlosen Himmel.

Alle Sterne müssen fallen. Blutig, verloren, gebrochen. Wir leben, um einen weiteren Tag zu kämpfen. Doch nachdem uns so viel genommen wurde, kann sich das Schicksal jemals wieder zu unseren Gunsten wenden? Meine Schwester und ich wurden von Schatten und Verzweiflung auseinandergerissen, und nun stehen wir beide allein da. Unsere Trauer ist wie ein Netz gesponnen, das uns festhält, und ich fürchte, unsere Feinde werden schon bald kommen, um sich an unseren Seelen zu laben. Doch wenn es nach mir geht, wird uns der erbarmungslose Himmel sein letztes Los beschert haben. Es ist Zeit, die Macht zurückzuerlangen, die uns aus den Händen gerissen wurde, und das Blatt in diesem Krieg zu wenden. Alle Sterne müssen fallen, und alle Phönixe müssen aufsteigen. Es leben die Wilden Königinnen. Dies wird nun Band 8 von 9 der Reihe sein Dies ist eine düstere Bully-Romance – erwartet keine süße Schule für Magie mit Freunden an jeder Ecke. Fae kämpfen um alles, was sie besitzen, und die Zodiac Academy ist eine gnadenlose Schule für Schüler ab 18 Jahren, an der nur die Stärksten bestehen. Hier gibt es keinen Dumbledore, der irgendjemandem den Arsch rettet, und Lionel Acrux kann es in der Kategorie böser Diktator durchaus mit Voldemort aufnehmen. Also haltet euch an eurem Sternenstaub fest (Besenstiele nicht erforderlich) und macht euch auf eine holprige Fahrt gefasst

Die Sterne riefen uns. Der Schleier schloss sich hinter unserem Rücken. Und nun hält der Tod uns in seinen Klauen. Wir wurden vor unserer Zeit aus dem Leben gerissen: ein Wilder König, seine Königin, ein verratener Sohn, ein Bruder, dem Unrecht widerfuhr, eine verschmähte Ehefrau und so viele mehr. Wir beobachten jene, die wir zurückgelassen haben, während sie gegen den Griff der Sterne kämpfen – die Antworten auf so viele ihrer Fragen in unserer Reichweite und doch außerhalb der ihren. Doch was, wenn wir einen Weg finden könnten, auf ihre Bitten zu antworten? Was, wenn wir einen Weg finden könnten, ihnen von dieser Seite der Kluft aus zu helfen? Und welchen Preis würde so etwas fordern? Dies ist ein Verbindungsband, der während der Ereignisse von Band 8 der Zodiac-Academy-Reihe jenseits des Schleiers (im Land der Toten) spielt.

Wir sind jetzt alles und nichts, unser Schicksal wird auf den Waagschalen der Sterne gewogen und durch die Kräfte, die sich uns entgegenstellen, ausgeglichen. Der Schatten des falschen Königs breitet sich so dick wie Öl über das Königreich aus, das zu beherrschen wir geboren wurden, und niemand bleibt von seiner Dunkelheit unberührt. Unsere Kronen liegen in Reichweite, wenn wir sie nur beanspruchen können. Alle Seelen sind nun in Gefahr, und wenn die letzte Schlacht anbricht, wird ein neues Regime entstehen. Die Zeit der wahren Abrechnung ist gekommen, und wir haben bewiesen, dass wir so grausam wie unser Vater, so brutal wie unsere Mutter und so wild wie die Elemente sind, die durch unsere Adern tosen. Wir können nur hoffen, dass es genügt. Wenn das letzte Schwert in diesem Spiel aus Schicksal und Glück den endgültigen Tod bringt, wird nur eine Seite siegreich sein.

A modern mafia fairytale. Born into one of the leading mob families in Chicago, Aria Scuderi is a mafia princess known for her beauty. What many consider a gift means her doom when she’s forced to marry Luca Vitiello to bring peace between two mafia dynasties. Luca is the future Capo of the New York Famiglia, a man known for his brutality—and for crushing his cousin’s throat with his bare hands. Aria is terrified of marrying a monster like him. He may be one of the most sought-after bachelors in New York, thanks to his good looks, wealth and predator-like charisma. But Aria knows the bad boy aura isn’t just a game; blood and death lurk beneath Luca’s striking gray eyes and arrogant smile. In her world a handsome exterior often hides the monster within; a monster who can just as easily kill as kiss you. Yet, there’s no escaping the arranged bond, much less a man like Luca. He’d follow her to the end of the world. Her only chance to survive in a marriage with Luca is to gain his affection and work her way into his heart—even when rumor has it that Luca doesn’t have a heart to begin with. A mafia princess known for her beauty given to a monstrous man. Even monsters have a heart. She has every intention of working her way into his.

I was born a monster. Cruelty ran in my veins like poison. It ran in the veins of every Vitiello man, passed on from father to son, an endless spiral of monstrosity. A born monster shaped into an even worse monster by my father’s blade and fists and harsh words. I was raised to become Capo, to rule without mercy, to dish out brutality without a second thought. Raised to break others. When Aria was given to me in marriage, everyone waited with baited breath to see how fast I’d break her like my father broke his women. How I’d crush her innocence and kindness with the force of my cruelty. Breaking her would have taken little effort. It came naturally to me. I was gladly the monster everyone feared. Until her.

She never expected to fall in love with a mafia don. He never expected to fall in love at all. But will their love be enough? Four weeks ago, Jaxon Pace, the billionaire "Don Supreme" of Chicago's underground mafia syndicates, took a bullet. This bullet was meant for the only girl who stole his heart, the beautiful Natalie Tyler, a simple nurse from Miami. Overwhelmed by the horrors she witnessed in Chicago, Natalie chose to return home, leaving the broken and brokenhearted Jaxon Pace to recover on his own. A month after her visit, Natalie's heart still belongs to Jaxon...And you better believe The Don Supreme is coming to collect HIS woman.

What's more, a rogue FBI agent now stalks Jaxon's every move, insisting that there is far more is going on within the crime syndicate that Jaxon is aware of. Jaxon will not rest until these threats are eliminated. But the question is, can he keep control of his city while managing to stay two\-steps ahead of the monsters now gunning for his family? …Or will he lose everything?

In the city of Chicago, power is a currency. In the right hands power can bring success, safety, and security. But in the wrong hands, it can mean danger, destruction...and almost always death. For nearly a century the Pace Family Mafia has held that power. And although few know the true extent of their influence, or the dark methods they employ to keep it, their reign has maintained order and allowed the city to flourish. But from the shadows has emerged an envious challenger, The Two\-Headed Dragon, a rival mafia clan with one goal in mind: Utter. Fucking. Chaos. A year ago, Jaxon Pace would have faced such challenges simply to maintain his chokehold control of the city's crime syndicate. But that was back before he had a beautiful wife, and a growing family to protect. Now, he must navigate the depravity and darkness with much higher stakes, knowing that one wrong move could mean the utter destruction of everything and everyone he loves. Ethan White told him once that he needed a light bright enough to guide him home. Will it be enough? Or will his demons finally win?

\\\ An Amazon Top 10 Bestseller \\\ I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself. I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place. I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again. I just want him as an anti\-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no\-strings\-attached, but he wants all the strings because he’s hooked. I don’t get much of a say in the matter, and that’s not surprising when I learn why—because he’s the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules—or pay. And now I’m his.
