Cloned Against Her Will

Cloned Against Her Will

by Elfy G

Created in a lab to save someone else’s life, she’s spent years as nothing more than an experiment—a number, a project, a secret. But freedom comes with its own dangers. Now hiding under a new name in a quiet town, she’s learning what it means to live, to feel, and maybe even to love. The sheriff’s steady gaze makes her heart race and her carefully built walls tremble. Yet trust is a luxury she can’t afford—not when the truth about her could shatter everything she’s found. As her past threatens to resurface, she must decide whether to keep running or finally risk being seen for who she truly is.

Mad Dog

Mad Dog

by Ophelia Bell

I’m the female heir to LA’s underground empire, which makes love a liability. But there are two men I won’t give up … no matter the cost.

One is my first love, a man my ruthless father had beaten more than a decade ago for daring to touch me. He’s back in town and those feelings have been rekindled with a vengeance.

The other is my bodyguard, a man who would take a bullet for me, and nearly dies trying to do just that.

Daring to bring us together for one explosive night of passion puts all three of our lives on a collision course with one of the most deadly Mexican cartels. For some reason my father’s oldest enemy is after me, and uncovering my family’s dark secrets might be the only way to protect the men I love.

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

by Ophelia Bell

I never imagined myself as a pawn in a dangerous game between two crime lords. But that was before I discovered I’m secretly one of their daughters, and suddenly I’m not just a girl, but an asset in need of protecting.

At least two of my new guard dogs are Ben and Baz, a pair of twins I grew up with—and wow, have they grown. Not only do they handle security for Drake Stavros—the sexy, haunted billionaire whose tower I’m forced to occupy for the duration of this cartel blood feud–but they’ve gotten hotter too, brooding sentinels covered in muscles and tattoos.

Drake is supposed to be using his near-limitless resources to keep me safe, with the twins there to make sure he follows through. But I’m beginning to realize the danger I’m in isn’t limited to the world outside as desires darker than my criminal bloodlines awaken within me, threatening to undo us all.

Author’s Note: “The Devil’s Daughter” is a reverse-harem romance.
