The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

Heather Teston

"If you want to keep your job and save the others, I have a proposition that will benefit both of us," he said as he towered over her.

Gabriel Maestri is rich, ruthless, and terrifyingly untouchable—the kind of man whispered about in fear. They call him the Demon of Italy, and he lives up to the name. Paige Mosley is everything he’s not: kind, innocent, and determined to save her job—and the others—when she hears the hotel may shut down. Her plan? Make a deal with the devil himself. But power games come with a price, and feelings were never part of the bargain. As Gabriel's cold exterior starts to crack, Paige wonders—can she melt the heart of a man who claims he doesn’t have one? Or will she lose herself trying?

Finding a picture of a young, shy, hot-looking blonde, he clicks on the auction button and places his bid. He has no idea what’s in store for him…or what trouble lies ahead. Now he can either turn his back on the girl, or he can do what needs to be done to save her and destroy the Sex Kitten site.

Love Mark Fantasy Book 1: One True Love

Linda Kage

Custom demanded that Prince Urban get a love mark tattooed to the side of his left eye as an infant, just like the rest of his people, but to him, the stupid things have only brought on the scorn of his father, the misery of his siblings, and caused his entire kingdom to go broke from fighting so many wars over the irritating ink stains.

When Urban’s sister must travel to Donnelly, the kingdom within the sand, for her arranged marriage to align two realms, he goes with her. But he no sooner steps foot inside their castle than his mark starts itching like a son of a bitch, telling him his one true love is near.

It just figures, though, that the woman meant for him is completely forbidden. Now he must decide if he should ignore the persistent mark, telling him she's the one, in order to avoid a possible war between kingdoms, or if he should discover whether she's worth risking everything for so they can be together. Either way, his life gets sucked into chaos with threats of beheadings, dark magic lurking, castle traitors scheming, and sword fights eminent.

Who knew one little tattoo could cause so much trouble?

As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah's instincts tell her it's the work of an assassin, not a serial killer.

The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah's own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?

CC Adele

Ashton lives fast and rides hard. Love is a distant memory, at least until the thrill of the ride isn’t enough to fill the Sydnee-sized void in his chest. She is off-limits in every way that matters, yet impossible to ignore—all sharp edges and a strength that demands notice. But when trauma strikes, it drives the forgiveness they both desperately seek. As shadows continue to creep in, they are pulled into a dangerous game neither of them signed up for. Secrets deepen, trust gets tested, and every choice feels heavier than the last. Ashton and Sydnee must face more than just their pasts. Because sometimes the biggest risk is not the danger around you… it’s the person standing right in front of you.

Let me Love You

Let me Love You

Rachael Stitchy

Vanessa likes her world quiet, controlled, and blissfully free of anyone trying to charm their way past her walls. Then her new neighbor shows up with a grin that is far too warm and a confidence that rattles her steady stride. Every encounter knocks her a little off balance, and his teasing spark feels annoyingly good. He sees the shadows she carries, yet he steps closer instead of backing away. As their playful clashes grow into something softer, Vanessa feels the light tugging at her edges. Letting him in might be messy, risky, and wildly inconvenient… but it also might be the first thing that feels right in a long time.
