Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Jen Cooper

“We’ve all got a vice. Mine’s alcohol and punching things. What’s yours?” She asked, refusing to feel bad for her choice in extracurriculars when he had just shot someone in the head because of his. He chuckled dryly.

“Sex mostly.”

Katelynn grows up in a world of bruises, broken promises, and a father whose debts pull her deeper into danger. When a deal gone wrong hands her over to a powerful family, she braces herself for a life of fear. But Xavier, the heir who rules with fire and steel, doesn’t expect a girl who bites back instead of breaking. He’s been trained to pull the trigger without thinking, to take what he wants without asking—but with her, nothing is simple. The girl he should see as a pawn suddenly feels like a battle he doesn’t want to win. And being his captive? It’s supposed to be her worst nightmare. Yet somehow, against every rule and every scar, it feels like something far more dangerous—something she’s not sure she wants to escape.

Jeay S Raven

Jade: I’m an omega, the lowest ranked member of the werewolf community. I’ve learned to keep my head down and stay out of the way, beaten and broken by life. I’m as plain and bland as they come, with nothing to set me apart from the rest. I don’t dream of finding my mate. Real life is nothing like a fairytale after all. All I want to do now is keep away from dominant males. But then he comes, shattering all my walls.

Alaric: There’s an ache that gnaws at me and nothing can ever numb it. My father sent me on this tour of diplomacy in hopes that it would temper my hotheaded ways and perhaps lead me to my destined mate, who would soften my heart. But I’m the Bloody Alpha, feared and respected by all, and no one can change me. That is, until I meet her.

The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

Layla Knight

“We shouldn’t be speaking like this. Not when we need to be speaking about the case.”

“There’s no one here to regulate us. We can speak about whatever we want, and I’m not finished speaking about last night.”

Fabrizio Mancini is on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit—but the evidence says otherwise. With no murder weapon and too many unanswered questions, his powerful mafia family hires the best defense lawyer in New York: Benedetta D’Angelo. Winning this case would make her career, but there’s one problem—her dangerously charming client is keeping secrets. As Benedetta fights for the truth, Riz fights a different battle: keeping her out of his world and out of his bed. But some lines are meant to be crossed, and some temptations are impossible to resist.
