This is it. My last chance saloon. Go undercover, find evidence on one of the worst men I’ve ever heard of, take him down and get my unsteady career back on track. Nothing could be easier, right? I’m an FBI agent. Taking down bad guys is what I’m sworn to do. Only, the first time I meet Apollo Volos he’s not the bad guy I’m expecting. On the he’s my savior, stepping out of the shadows to rescue me from a man who wants me dead. Or worse. At first, he treats me like a queen, then he treats me like…something else. This isn’t sweet, poetic love. It’s dark, tainted, sadistic and demanding. And I’m responding to it in a way I never expected. My boss told me Apollo was a monster, that even his kids hate him, but all I see is a man who’s played the cards life dealt him, doing the best for his family and his community. And as for my boss? Well, I’m learning some things about him that are making me wonder exactly who the good guys and bad guys are after all. But can I ignore my duty and follow my heart? What would that mean for the life I thought I wanted? And can I ever really put my trust in a man like Apollo?

I’m a bad boy turned good, a former gangster who used his time in prison to turn his life around. Back then, I used to run errands for one of Detroit’s murkiest crime families, and one of those runs brought her into my life. My interest at the time was purely platonic, she was a girl who needed a friend. And when I was taken away, I thought we’d never see each other again. I’m glad I was wrong. When I spot her green eyes and pink hair across a crowded room, I know everything has changed. She’s mine, we’re supposed to be together, and she needs my protection. I’ll do whatever it takes to show her how much she means to me. I’ll chase her. I’ll fight for her. I’ll die for her if I have to. Because the girl I once nicknamed Scamp is the center of my universe, and my life will mean nothing if it doesn’t include her. Author’s Note: Scamp and Valiant are fated lovers, brought together after years apart at just the moment Scamp’s life is in turmoil. They’ll need to fight for their happy ever after against a family that’s determined not to let either of them go. Always safe, no cheating and with a well-deserved HEA in this instalove romance.

Amara is far too good for me. I’m a nobody, a blue collar worker in a failing industry, and she’s an angel with chocolate hair and eyes that could kill a man from a hundred paces. All I can do is watch her teaching kids to skate in the park, growing lonelier and lonelier every day as I hopelessly dream that we could one day have a family together. Until she needs me. When I see four masked men trying to bundle her into a van, the curtain comes down. Suddenly, a savage side of me that I never knew existed is in full control. I’ll kill for her, die for her, be whatever she needs and claim her as my prize. Amara is under my protection now, and they’ll have to go through me if they want to take her away.
