E. L. Koslo

"“Relax your legs. Let me in.”

My breath hitches when his hands press between my thighs, pushing my legs apart as he leans in. His thumbs brush just under the hem of my exercise shorts and I swallow a moan, half pain, half pleasure.

He smirks like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me. “I’ll have you feeling the burn…”

Hannah is the big girl no guy ever looks twice at. Except for Jordan, her physical trainer, who never seems to take his eyes off her. Does he simply see her as a challenge, or something more?"

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.

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?
