Matt McCall's struggles to reintegrate into civilian life have been an ongoing battle for the better part of two years.

Uncertain of where he belongs in the world, he silently battles depression. The unexpected gift of Jethro, a black Labrador Retriever, perks his spirit...and a chance meeting in the park gives him a precious gift.

Now, with an early offer on the table to end his contract, Rowdy has to take a long look at the life he left behind, the life he's built, and the future he longs to have.

Rescued from a whorehouse in Fort Courage, Delilah Rinaldi never expected to find a sanctuary populated by Fevered and their allies. Silent since her arrival at the ranch, she longs to believe in Buck and the passionate dreams they share. But she keeps dangerous knowledge of the enemy hunting them all close to her heart - information Jason may reveal and cost her the only home and man she loves.

Das Herz des Ganzen war ein Geheimnis und eine Lüge. Ein Geheimnis, das wir ihr nicht verrieten. Eine Lüge, die wir uns selbst erzählten. Emersyn Sharpe war mehr als nur das Mädchen, über das wir wachten. Emersyn war genau die Frau, die zu uns passte. Das Letzte, was wir hätten tun sollen, war, sie mitzunehmen, und das Schlimmste, was wir getan hatten, war, sie zu behalten, aber sie brauchte uns. Und ich war mir sicher, mehr als einer von uns, mich eingeschlossen, brauchte sie. Das Geheimnis war keines, das wir erzählen sollten … Und die Lüge?

My name is Grace Degas Black. Years ago, I made a splash during a charity fashion show where an agent discovered me. My work led to the glitzy world of haute couture, perfume ads, and more. I was living my best life, traveling the world, and the only thing that would have made it better was if my twin had come along for the ride. My other half. My best friend. Then one day, she disappeared.

Von dem Moment an, als ich erfuhr, dass sie an unsere Schule kommen würde, hatte ich das Gefühl, dass es in einer Katastrophe enden würde. Warum hatte sich Kaitlin Crosse von allen Schulen der Welt ausgerechnet für unsere entschieden? Ihre Anwesenheit verwirrte meine Brüder und führte zu Spannungen zwischen ihnen, aber ich merkte bald, dass meine anfänglichen Annahmen über sie völlig falsch gewesen waren.

Mein Name ist Emersyn Sharpe. Bis vor einigen Monaten war ich die Hauptdarstellerin einer Wandershow, die ihren Vertrag noch zu Ende erfüllen musste. Ich war geschlagen worden, aber nie gebrochen. Dann nahmen sie mich mit. Ich gehöre nicht in ihre Welt. Trotzdem nahmen sie mich mit, aber ich wusste nicht, warum. Sie versprachen, mich zu beschützen und für meine Sicherheit zu sorgen, aber sie hätten wissen müssen, dass ich weglaufen würde.

Grandfather tried to prepare me for everything… Yet, how could anyone prepare me for this? Kidnapping. Blackmail. Deception. Grief. Vengeance. The Royals have always been about blood. Blood lines, blood relations, and the spilling of blood. I didn’t ask for this war. I didn’t go looking for it. But I will let nothing and no one keep me from the men I love and we will find what was taken from us. No one will ever steal from us again. They say desperation makes for strange bedfellows, fortunately, the men in my bed are far more dangerous to everyone else.

Emersyn Sharpe gehört nicht in unsere Welt. Eigentlich ist der letzte Ort, an dem sie sein sollte, bei uns. Aber jemand tut ihr weh. Wir haben es alle gesehen. Wir haben versucht, die Warnzeichen zu ignorieren. Wir haben versucht, den Menschen um sie herum zu vertrauen. Wir haben versucht, an ihre Welt zu glauben.

Ich wurde in die besten Kreise Hollywoods hineingeboren und war schon in den Schlagzeilen und im Internet, bevor ich überhaupt laufen konnte. Es spielt keine Rolle, dass sich meine Eltern vor meinem zweiten Geburtstag scheiden ließen. Ich kann den Schatten–oder den Skandalen–meiner Filmstar-Mutter und meines Rockstar-Vaters nicht entkommen.

They say you can never go back… ‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around. Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie. I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

Die Pop-Prinzessin mit den leuchtend blauen Haaren, den vollen Lippen, den eindringlichen Augen und der Stimme einer Sirene … Musik scheint die einzige Sprache zu sein, die wir beide sprechen. Das ist nicht genug. Nicht für sie. Nicht für die anderen. Für niemanden. Ich bin nicht genug. Meine Brüder wollen sie, die Welt besitzt sie, und alle anderen wetteifern um ein Stück von ihr. Am Ende des Schuljahres ging sie weg und schenkte uns keinen weiteren Blick. Sie hat uns weggeworfen, wie sie ihren Vater weggeworfen hat.

I’m Cash Morgan. Special Agent Cash Morgan. They trained me to track killers. To find the cracks in their masks, the patterns in their chaos. I was the quiet voice behind a badge, the profiler with a near-perfect record, the one they called when things got dark and twisted. I didn’t flinch at blood. I didn’t blink at bodies. I just hunted. And then I met her.

The pop princess with her bright blue hair, pouty lips, haunting eyes, and the voice of a siren. She’s always been too busy for us. Music seems to be the one language we both speak. It’s not enough. For her. For them. For anyone. I’m not enough.

My name is Mickey James. Little Bit is everything. I fought to stay away, and I’ll fight to keep. Our enemies are going to learn that my skill at healing broken bodies makes me damn talented at damaging them too. They drew blood, we’ll bury them.

Survival isn’t everything. I’ve fought to protect my family. I’ve bled for them, killed for them, and gone to jail for them. There is no fight I will not take on for them… I’ve been waging this war since I was seven years old. The only thing that’s changed is the battlefield itself. For Mayhem, I’ll trade in the grime of the streets for the illusions of her shimmering world. Only all that glitter is hiding a well of sin and corruption that leaves blood in its wake. This isn’t my world, but I won’t be defeated by it.

I was born into this world. Power and wealth are the keys to controlling it, but they aren’t everything. They are a means to an end when it comes to protecting the people I care about. I’ve known my destiny since I was old enough to sit at the table. Everything in my life has been focused on preparing me for the future. Know your enemies, your allies, and the people in the middle you can buy. When he first appeared in my life, I had no idea who he was, but I never forgot his pretty face. While it’s been years and I barely recognize him, I can’t get enough.
