A Shot in the Dark: The Protected

A Shot in the Dark: The Protected

B. E. Harmel

Kate comes home expecting cake and candles, not chaos. One brutal night shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, dragging her into a dangerous world of secrets and lies. To survive, she’s placed under the watch of John, a relentless agent with shadows in his past and a vow to protect her at all costs. But guarding Kate isn’t as simple as it should be—the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep the line between duty and desire intact. With enemies closing in and trust in short supply, survival means risk, sacrifice, and facing a temptation neither of them is prepared for. In a storm of danger, will passion save them—or destroy them?

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Linda Kage

How do you make yourself fall in love with someone?

After his family friend, Chloe Ryan, is traumatized by a disturbed ex-boyfriend, Luke Hamilton is "encouraged" to step up and be the kind of partner she needs. Problem is, he's never been in love before. He's not one to give up on much of anything, though. His stubborn, competitive nature, mixed with the dutiful loyalty he inherited from his parents, makes it impossible for him to say no. And romancing Chloe becomes priority number one.

But his feisty contender gives him the challenge of a lifetime when she'd rather argue with him than accept a simple compliment. Chloe demands honest, genuine feelings from someone before she'll even think about opening her heart again, and since Luke refuses to back down from his determined quest, he decides to grow some feelings.

Except, uh, yeah? That's easier said than done since he has no idea how to even begin the process of falling.


Chloe is a simple woman with simple wants. All she'd like is to work her job, find a partner to share her life with, and then grow a family with him.

But apparently, that's just too much to ask for. After her ex kidnaps and terrorizes her, Chloe is suddenly put on six weeks of leave from her job to recover, she can't handle it when anyone touches her to even consider dating again, and her big dream of the simple life seems more impossible to reach than ever.

Until Luke bulldozes his way into the picture, determined to help her through her rough patch and promising her everything she's ever wanted.

The problem is Chloe loved Luke way back when she was young, and no one's ever broken her heart the way he did when he didn't even notice her in return. No way is she going to risk more heartbreak at his hands now. And so Chloe becomes just as determined to push him away as he is to stick by her side.

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

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.
