To the public, they’re winemakers—each a billionaire in his own right. However, there’s far more to these men than meets the eye. Their membership in the secret society known as Los Caballeros has been handed down to them from their fathers and grandfathers for generations. Their vow? To come to the aid of the innocent and less fortunate, offering protection and safety, even when it means putting their own lives on the line.

With a name like “Poseidon,” I’m feared on the spot. I come in like a force of nature, and destroy anyone who challenges me or hurts those I love. In my country, loyalty and rage runs deep. I know my obsession with Oleander will lead to my ruin, but every touch of her naked skin against mine strengthens my addiction to her. She’s both bellissima and brillante, with a fiery passion and a commitment, like mine, to save the world.

Women swoon at my British accent, but I’ve been in America most of my life—hacking computers by day and saving innocent women by night. A regular superhero. When I start getting close to Luisa, I want all disguises off. She’s falling for someone else, but I’m determined to wait it out—start a full court press to make her mine.

Secrets. Lies. Deception. As a Russian assassin, I’m riddled with it all. Now, with a $10 million bounty on my head, there’s no way I can get out alive. But the irresistible and incorrigible duke thinks otherwise. He wants me in his life, in his arms, and in his bed. There’s no declining the desires of a duke. And quite frankly, I have no intentions of denying him anything.

I’ve got a reputation to mend—a lifestyle to correct. Hell, I’m no saint; I like my women. But I want this job more than anything. Walking the straight and narrow is going to be hard, but being an invincible is even harder. But the hardest job of all: not torturing the deadbeat thug who left a beautiful and innocent woman high and dry.

Former M15 agent Keon “Edge” Edgemon is counting the seconds until he can get back to the one woman who’s piqued his interest. After a perilous mission for the Invincibles, Edge spends months in recovery from a gunshot wound that almost ended his life. Finally back home in Texas, he discovers that Lucy “Rebel” Marks is in jail for murder. Edge won’t rest until she’s free - and back in his arms.

I’m more than muscle and mastery. I’ve got more than just my head in the game. We’re so close to finding our target, so close to putting an end to the reign of one of the biggest human trafficking rings in the world. This is the worst time for my commander to add a green agent to my team, especially one who lacks self-confidence. I don’t have the will or the manpower to train her, but there’s something about the woman that attracts me like no other ever has.

Incredibly smart and unbelievably stealthy, I take my name “Zeppelin” seriously. As a Brit who worked for the US NSA and NRO, I’m experienced and wise, with a penchant for technology. Traffickers can never get by me, and they never even see me coming. Teaming up with the young and assertive Verity is not my idea of a good time. But going undercover as her lovesick husband may be my worst nightmare. The last thing I want to do is pretend to like this chick. Let’s be honest, she’s not real happy with this make-believe coupling either. I may have heard her mumble “neanderthal” once or twice.

Retired and ready. After years of raising children by myself, taking in others as my own, it’s time for me. I’m finally ready to leave M16, and start the life I’ve dreamed of with the woman I’ve wanted for so long. There’s no turning back, no hesitation. I found my angel, and now it’s time to make her mine. Nothing can keep me away from her for one more second. It’s now or never. It’s a Christmas neither of us will ever forget. But when I’m kidnapped and miss my long-awaited date, you’d think I’d be ready to murder my assailant with my own two hands. And that’s the problem.

Espionage, secrets, and all the other crap, my team wants me tight-lipped about. And that’s fine. I’m used to life undercover. As an MI5 agent, I take on a lot. It’s who I am, and what I do. But the fiery new weapon for US Homeland Security is more dangerous than anything I’ve touched — or tasted — before. With her curves and sass, she’s dangerous and powerful. Let’s be honest, she’s never faced off against me, though. I’ve got tricks to make anyone cave.

As the new commander of the UK Task Force on Human Trafficking, I have important work to do, and innocent lives to protect. There’s no time for mistakes or distractions. When I find Bexli—a woman I've loved most of my life—on a sex-slave-auction website, I’ll move mountains to rescue her. After the hell she’s endured, she needs my strong exterior more than anything. For the first time, my hardened shell just may soften with her touch.

Reporters need to back off. I’ve got a job to do. Being overworked, overwhelmed, and underappreciated, the last thing this M15 agent needs is a sexy and incredibly persuasive journalist knocking me off my game. But the terror in her eyes tells me she needs me—in more ways than one.

As the youngest Barrett, I have a reputation that belies who I really am. Everyone believes I’m a billionaire bad boy who travels the globe seeking fun, wine, and anything fine—the antithesis of my older brother. But something is calling me—something I can’t quite understand. With enough money to want for nothing, is it possible that what I want has been right under my nose all along.

After a tragedy took the lives of her father and brother, it's all she can do to keep her little ranch running. And she wasn't the only one. The same tragedy took the lives of an entire posse, and with a town population of less than thirty, that's a lot. So is it any wonder when six English gents pass through town and offer assistance, that her head is turned in their direction?

Michelangelo is precise and perilous—a man to be respected. After spending four years in prison, serving time for the crimes I committed, I’m now ready to live a life very different from the one I previously led. Becoming an agent for K19 Allied Intelligence means I’ll play a part in taking down one of the world’s worst crime families—the Calabrian Syndicate. Like every other criminal society, the list of their acts against the innocent is long, the worst of which is human trafficking.

Ansgar knows how to listen to those spirits as he travels the wild lands of the North, and they’re telling him to watch his back. A vagabond viking with a unique approach to personal hygiene is looking out for him. Will one ally be enough? There are outlaws in the forest around them. And if the stories are true, there are trolls with a taste for human flesh not far beyond.

Keep your wits as sharp as your sword. Ansgar knows the kind of lore that can keep a man alive as he travels the North. Tales of gods and monsters, heroes and dragons-the stories any good skald knows. Trade a good story to a raven, and Ansgar can find the right path through the forest. Assuming the raven isn’t as difficult as this one. The right direction has a warm fire and a horn full of mead waiting. The wrong direction has wolves the size of ponies. Or worse.

As an MI5 agent assigned to the UK's task force of the United Nations Coalition Against Human Trafficking, I've walked a fine line between right and wrong, always making sure to do what's necessary for the greater good. Kidnapping my commander for help is no exception. I do what needs to be done. But when I discover that the woman who captured my heart is still alive and in danger, I need all the help I can recruit to save my beloved Seshat.
