Seren

Seren

J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.

Daphne Watson

“Spread your legs.” His icy tone left no room for debate.

I let out an involuntary groan as his rough fingers slid inside me, sending goosebumps down my spine. I was already soaking wet for him.

“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”

Reaper's Claim

Reaper's Claim

Simone Elise

I saw cold fury in his eyes and knew I’d gone too far.

His firm chest pressed into me, his angry heat radiating against my skin. His hands gripped the sides of my face, and then he whispered in my ear.

“If any other man touches you, I’ll kill him. I own you.”

And then his lips slammed into mine.

From the moment Abby first lays eyes on Kade Wilson, he’s as repellent to her as oil to vinegar. Nicknamed The Reaper for his brutish nature, he’s a deadly biker from a rival club. But no matter how much she tries to shake him, every attempt to sever ties ends with her tangled in his sheets, drenched in his sweat. Can Abby quit her addiction to The Reaper before he lays claim to her? Does she even want to?

The pull between them is still fierce, still dangerous, and this time he refuses to stand back. Off-limits has never looked so tempting—and resisting might just be impossible.
