I thought success was what I wanted, but it only intensified my misery. Fame is a monster, and it ate me alive. I tried it all to get out of my head: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I'm living the dream, but it only numbs the pain. Caspian came into my life like a storm, and I knew he'd leave the same way. We were two vessels made to fit. Chemistry woven in creation. There's no escape, there's no surrender. His Pretty Black forever.

I’m one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelors and CEO of Rothwell Enterprises. I wear success like a well-tailored suit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not at the mercy of others. My heavily guarded trust fund is all I need to take my business to new heights. But to get my hands on that money, I have only two options: Wait 'til I’m 40 or get married.

I don't think we even begin to understand love until we've lost the one we thought we'd spend the rest of our life with. I don't think we begin to understand ourselves until we realize that it's most likely our fault. And I don't think we begin to understand life until we understand it comes in so many shades of gray. You can be a good person and still do irrevocable harm. Life is messy, so f--king messy. I hate it. Or maybe I hate myself. I thought for a long time I hated him.

Early morning feedings, barn cleanup, and chasing goats are Knox Bishop’s everyday routine. That changes when a bachelor auction brings him face-to-face with the world’s most forbidden fruit—his twin brother’s crush. Hadleigh has known the Bishop twins all her life and they’ve never crossed the lines. That is until she fools around with Knox and learns he has a piercing south of the border. A piercing she very much enjoys licking. Admitting what she feels wouldn’t be so difficult if Kane Bishop hadn’t just confessed his feelings for her, too.

I’ve been in hiding… Now, my secrets are about to be exposed. Eight years ago, I got caught up in something bad. Really bad. A shipment of drugs disappeared, my sister Bianca and her deadbeat boyfriend Greg were killed, and I had to run for my life. Those events have shaped my world. I don’t trust anymore. I don’t date. I don’t do anything to draw attention to myself. Then sexy-as-sin billionaires Nolan Wolanski and Caleb Reeves explode into my life and shatter my hard-won peace of mind.

War is waging between the Black Bloods and the Paragon Dawn. The time has come for the other kingdoms to pick a side. Except there's one thing that will get in the way of pledging their unwavering allegiance: Every king wants Princess Devereux's heart on a platter—or worse, a ring on her finger. Her plan is simple: she must find the witch who cursed her and stay hidden in plain sight. Only one of those two things has been doable. Running from her crown was easy. Dabbling in black-market trade has its benefits. Getting rid of the curse, however, seems to be a fallacy.

The man who’s haunted my steps from the moment we met at the ball now controls my every move in his hideaway. His dark eyes miss nothing, and he seeks out all my weak spots. He uses his fingers, his wicked tongue, his sharp mind. Searching, testing, looking for the side of me I’ve hidden away for so long. He’s relentless in his pursuit of my secrets, but I manage to discover some of his own.

Somehow I've landed in a weird space where I'm not quite dead or alive, standing on the edge of something incredible—if only I take the chance and dive into the unknown. My mates taught me to jump on in without hesitation. I hope the water is warm. Taking a leap of faith isn't necessarily the issue, it's kicking my legs hard enough to break the surface for that first breath of fresh air. Oh, and also avoiding those who would rather see me drown. Dying was easy, but it's living that may prove difficult, especially when a certain god wants to rip the bonds of fate from my soul.

They fell in love, they battled the odds, and they fought through the danger that threatened to tear them apart, but it wasn't over yet. Their stories were just the beginning, and now they were determined to continue to build their families and the next generation of the MC.

Is it really considered kidnapping if I go willingly? Asking for a friend. If it were up to Christian, Athos, Nix, or Liam, their answer would be a resounding yes. Yet it's my fifth and final mate who steals me away - Kade. He's the definition of bad boy, and he draws me in like no other with his dimpled smile and haunted eyes. Kade yanks the veil away from my eyes, hinting at the intricate motivations of each of my fated mates, but my devious rogue isn't just opening my eyes to them. He's also unraveling the history of my ancestors and just what it means to be blessed by a goddess.

But when Grace calls upon her silent warrior to help her translate an obscure new language, she breaks the ancient curse holding him prisoner...and frees three deadly demons to rampage through her city. Tracking demons is what Kato was born to do, but he'll need Grace's help.

From New York Times and USA TODAY best-selling author Nicole Edwards comes the seventh installment in her Brantley Walker: Off the Books series, which follows Brantley Walker, Reese Tavoularis, and the rest of the Off the Books Task Force!

What happens when you’re on the run from your psycho ex-husband, and your sexy, younger boss goes into hiding with you, to keep you safe? You slowly remember what it’s like to fall in love, and hope he feels it too.

Keeping her safe was my job. Keeping her for myself became my obsession. She is a Russian mafia princess, kidnapped to be used as a pawn in a deadly turf war. I was hired to bring her home, but the moment I saw her I knew I must have her for myself. She can run, but I will always be watching from the shadows. Like a feral beast stalking his prey, waiting for the right moment to take what is mine. I am her protector, but no one can protect her from me.

Seven hours. That's how long I knew her in college. But that hasn't stopped me from thinking about her every day since. That's why I recognized her the second she walked into my bar. She glances over, but it's obvious she doesn't recognize me. And why would she? I think she only looked at my face once that night. Most of the time, she had her head buried in my chest, wailing about her idiot boyfriend. You'd think those few short hours would fade from my memory by the time I woke up the next morning, but no such luck.

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep it together. I'm forced to go back on tour to play the summer concert circuit, and so is the guy I've avoided for two years.

He never bothered with hello. The shrieking hot stranger had me dizzy the instant he said we're engaged. Then he chased off the bully on our heels and dragged me back to his place for the night. Pure insanity, right? Wrong. You don't let pride do the talking when you're homeless, on the run, and hauling around your sick father in a truck so old it must've been on Noah's Ark. You definitely don't complain when Ridge Barnet takes charge. (In)famous heartthrob. Stinking rich. Fed up owner of one angry rooster. Eyes set to permanent storm.

I had a picture-perfect life. At least everyone thought I did. But behind closed doors, my life is a mess. My husband’s far from the man I’d fallen in love with years ago. As my rocky marriage crumbles, my best friend, Noah, stays by my side. But then, when my husband dies, the finger is pointed at Noah. For years, he’s pushed me away, but when his life is threatened, I risk my heart to save him.
