I’ve been in love with Jacob Blake since he the day he picked me up in his strong arms, holding me close. I was five years old. I spent my life chasing after him—trying to make him see I'm more than just his sister’s little friend. I never dreamed getting his attention would also destroy him. One night....

This isn't your everyday Beauty and the Beast story. Our love story was tragic, until it wasn't. Once upon a time I fell in love with a beast. I fell fast. I fell hard. I loved him intensely and I trusted him completely - until he ripped my heart to shreds. Love isn't a fairy tale. It's messy.
It's dirty. It's painful, and it's ugly. Until it's not. This is Book 2 and the final book of the Beast & Beauty Devil's Blaze Duet. Book 1: Beast must be heard first.

Love isn't always pretty - especially not when you fall for a Beast. I ran like hell from the tragedy in my past. I didn't slow down, and I didn't look back. But I couldn't outrun the memories...or escape the nightmares. I came to North Carolina to be alone. Hayden Graham attracts problems like a magnet. She's a complication I don't need. This time, the mess she's in has put her life in danger. What she needs is a hero to rescue her. But I'm no knight in shining armor. I'm a wounded animal - a Beast. She tastes like Heaven. She only adds to my Hell.

There is one thing I know about life. You grab it by the throat and go full throttle. Thrown away with the garbage on the day I was born, and doing what I had to do just to survive...that's who I am. I am the filth your mother warned you about. Then she walks into my life. Nothing I expected and everything I could want. Our worlds don't mix. I'm only going to drag her down. I should have never touched her. Life can tear you into shreds, make you bend until you break. Sometimes, you have to face death, so you can live.

She's the granddaughter of a rival club's President. She's barely legal and way too innocent for me. I'm too old. Too hardened by life, but one taste of her and it's too late. I've claimed her as my own. And I'll die before I let anyone take her away from me. Unfortunately, it might just come to that. Bree says we're soul mates. Fated for each other. When I'm staring down the barrel of a gun about to lose everything. It seems like fate might have given me the shaft.

All my life, I wanted to be loved. Instead, I was ignored. My father gave me what I wanted so he could go back to ignoring me. Once I understood that, life became easier. When he arranged to marry me off to the son of his biggest ally, I didn't mind. Marco was the older brother of my best friend, and honestly, he made me burn.

There's an animal in me that I keep hidden. Beth calls to him. She tempts the monster and lures him to the surface. I'm obsessed with her. I can't stay away, even when doing so puts my entire club in danger. Her blood is on my hands. I formed her to fit only me. I was her first and if I have to kill everyone in our way. So be it. I will be her last. She is mine.

Annie is everything I shouldn't want. From that uptight dress to the hair she wears in a damn bun, down to those black rimmed glasses. We don't fit. A librarian and a biker, and if that's not cliché enough, she has cats!? I should run. I'm not going to. One taste and I only want more. There's a tiger hiding behind that uptight prudish disguise she insists on wearing - and once I get my teeth into her...I'm never letting go.

Melina gave me her body and ran away. She can run, but she can't hide. I needed to lose myself in a woman. It was just supposed to be one night. She gave more than either of us bargained for. I claimed her innocence, and she disappeared. She has no idea the lengths I will go to find her. I won't allow her to get away again. I'll track her down. Nothing will keep me from her. I don't care what I must do. Even if I have to declare war to keep her, Melina will be mine.

I owe everything to Emilia's father. I'd do anything for the man. When he asked me to marry his daughter, I thought he was insane. I was only going to protect her. That was my job. Yet, one innocent kiss changed everything. Now, it's not about what her father wants. It's all about her. When enemies try to take her and the life we could have away, they will learn why they call me the devil. I'll show them no mercy. Emilia is mine, and God help anyone who tries to come between us.

The heroine of Marie NDiaye’s new novel is Maître Susane, a quiet middle-aged lawyer living a modest existence in Bordeaux, known to all as a consummate and unflappable professional. But when Gilles Principaux shows up at her office asking her to defend his wife, who is accused of a horrific crime, Maître Susane begins to crack.

Can you love and hate the same person? I fell in love too fast, too young. I made decisions I thought would protect the ones I love. Now I'm hated for them. Skull is the love of my life. But our life was wrapped up in lies. We were captured by them, and left with nothing when they exploded. How much can a heart take before it breaks and just doesn't care anymore?

She has a body that makes men beg. I had to have her. I didn't realize one night with her would be a drug - one I'd crave over and over. Katie's past brings me to her door. I should walk away. I can't. My president asked me to do this job and, technically, I am. I'm doing her against the wall, in the shower, on the counter, the table, and, occasionally, even the bed. The heat between us is intense and white-hot like an open flame. I can't walk away, even for my president, the man I swore to follow into hell.

I'm marrying my soulmate. We're having a baby. Life is perfect. But having it all means you have everything to lose. Decisions have to be made. And every decision has a consequence.

Gray Lucas is everything I hate in a man. Arrogant, rich, entitled and a player. He’s a pro athlete and his exploits are legendary—one of which was me. We had a one-night-stand. It was wild, passionate, exhilarating and a big mistake. Except maybe it wasn’t. Because the more time I spend with him and his crazy family, the more I want him to stay…

I’ve loved Luka Fields my entire life. He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first time, and my first heartbreak. Love isn’t like in the movies, or the books you read. It’s hard. Sometimes you give up…And regret it your entire life.

I've decided to have a baby. The only problem? I'm as single as they come. I jokingly make a list of possible baby daddies. The problem? My best friend White finds the list … and his name is at the top. My incredibly hot, best buddy, never-going-to-settle-down best friend. He's telling me he won't let anyone else near me. He's out to prove he's the only man for the job. I should say no. But I’m not going to.
