My innocence is gone. My father is dead. And I'm no longer the girl who was forced to marry a hitman. I'm stronger. For the last five years I've been running from both my sisters vengeful anger, and from my husband's intense obsession.

Monsters don’t just live in the dark, they breathe it. I thought I’d already survived the worst. I was wrong. Falling once nearly destroyed me. Falling for them? The Scorpion Kings? It might be the end of me.

The deeper we dig, the darker the secrets. Silverwood is filled with nothing but liars and deceivers. I thought I could trust them. I thought I could have them. Now, I know … none of it was ever truly mine to keep. There is a thin line between love and obsession.

It was only supposed to be one night … until they decided they couldn’t let me go. Dex, Cody, Darren, and Taylor dug their way into my heart on one cold winter night. Now, years later, we’re practically inseparable....

Of all the people in the world to get snowed in at the library the night before a big exam, it had to be me. I must have pissed off karma or something because there is no way being trapped. Alone. In the dark. With not one, not two, but FOUR sexy athletes can be a good thing....

Six years ago, I made a mistake. The worst mistake I could have ever possibly made. I fell in love with the wrong person and … I told him....

I don’t know how it happened. One moment I was standing outside the diner fumbling with my car keys, and the next a bag was placed over my head and I was put in the back of a car. Who would want to kidnap me? I’m a nobody, a good girl, just doing my best to make ends meet....

What tangled webs we weave . . . He's everything I don't want. A playboy. A beast with a cunningly gorgeous smile. Faces like his only mean one thing. Somewhere underneath all of that handsomeness, there lies a monster. And if anyone can sense a monster, it's me. I understand cruelty. I've lived...

Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right. I never expected that leaving the refuge of Corvallis would result in such dire circumstances. When rogue Rovers commandeer our airship, I'm left with an impossible choice. Stay and risk my life to save the others or let them be captured...

Nothing is what it seems.... Basra is the eternal city - a paradise filled with relics of the old world. We are welcomed into the upper sanctum of Basranian society where sly smiles and wicked eyes tempt us with riches and lavish comfort, yet something seems hopelessly wrong. The city is...

On Tartarus I was born... Soaked in power and secrets, Tartarus is a city for rebels, exiles, and criminals. As a messenger, every shadow is my friend. I know all the secrets of this place. Or, at least, I thought I did. When my best friend, Kida, goes missing, I don't waste any time assuming...

Rule number one: Don't piss off the Sick Boys. They're cruel. Reckless. Impossibly f--ked up. The Sick Boys feed on the order they create. They rule Eastpoint University just as their families have for decades. But their power doesn't stop there. The three of them are heirs to some of the...

Rule No. 2: Show no fear. They're vile and twisted. The only thing more f--ked up than the Sick Boys is me, and I'm ready to show them. The Sick Boys are hiding something from me. They want to pretend like I didn't kill my rapist and they didn't help. But we're not ordinary college students...

Rule number three: Never let anyone think they can hurt you and get away with it. I thought I'd seen and felt the worst of it, but there's nothing worse than betrayal. Corina knows who's behind what happened to me, and she may think hiding will keep her safe, but after everything that's happened...

Isaac Icari—the God of Hazelwood University—my stepbrother, my lover, my enemy. It was dangerous to let myself be swept up by him, but he’s a drug that I crave. I should have walked away the second I realized what he was involved with, when he revealed who his father truly was. Now it’s too late....

The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave. Only…she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be. She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother. But pawns don’t fight back the way she does....

He's a blood stained monster, but one look at her and he knows she will be his. Gaven Belmonte is a cold-hearted killer. A hitman. Now, he's my jailer. Even though he's twice my age, I'm being forced into an arranged marriage to secure Gaven's position as the next head of the Price Family Syndicate.

I gave Braxton Smalls everything. I sacrificed myself and all I ended up with was a broken heart and a shattered soul. Now, I’ve got bigger things to worry about than an angry Eastpoint Heir hot on my trail.

I know nothing of the Sickness at Eastpoint University. I know only the backroads that slip past the southern beaches and the gators that make their way onto the swamp's shores. Until him. Until the killer known as Braxton Smalls finds his way into my stilted trailer on the coast of Port Charlotte.

The Scorpion Kings took me. They made me believe in them. Gave me everything I’d given up hoping for. Then they burned it all down. Now, it’s time to show them that I’m not a damsel in distress. I’m not a victim. I am the villain in this story.
