The Irish Syndicate Book 1: Our Wicked Cravings

The Irish Syndicate Book 1: Our Wicked Cravings

by M. L. Smith

"You have always been mine.”

Mina never expected to see her stepbrother again—let alone like this. But when she steps into a secretive club, she walks straight into the arms of the one man who's been watching from the shadows… and waiting to make her his. Ronan, the ruthless head of Boston’s crime syndicate, doesn’t just want her—he owns her now. Years of silent obsession have built to this moment, and he won’t let anything—or anyone—stand between them. As enemies circle and the syndicate teeters on the edge, one thing’s clear: he’s not letting her go, no matter how dark things get.

Capture Me

Capture Me

by Daphne Watson

“Spread your legs.” His icy tone left no room for debate.

I let out an involuntary groan as his rough fingers slid inside me, sending goosebumps down my spine. I was already soaking wet for him.

“N-no…,” I begged, coming to my senses.

He leaned in until I could smell the mint on his breath.

“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”

The last thing Katherine expects when she moves to London is to cross paths with billionaire mafioso Xavier Lexington. Powerful, dark, and deadly, he wants Katherine all for himself. But when he steals her away to ravage her body, Katherine is left with one question: Can she escape the ruthless mafia billionaire before he captures her forever?

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

She’s counting down the days until she can leave it all behind… except for one complication: Alexei, the magnetic, untouchable leader of the Bratva. His gaze has followed her for months, stirring something she can’t ignore. Now, she’s drawn into a game of stolen glances and unspoken promises, where every touch could mean heartbreak or surrender. In this world, love and war play by the same ruthless rules—and she’s not sure which side she’s on.

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

by Sarah N. Fox

She swore she left the darkness behind—new name, new life, clean slate. But Vegas doesn’t forgive or forget. The city’s kings—five ruthless brothers who own every inch of its glittering chaos—just claimed her as theirs. They want answers. Control. Maybe even her surrender. Each look sparks fury, each touch blurs the line between danger and desire. She’s fought monsters before, but this time the battlefield is her own heartbeat. Because surviving the devil once was hard enough… surviving five who make her burn might be impossible.

Point of No Return: Book 1

by Jenny Asp

On a sun-drenched escape to Greece, Elizabeth expects family time and fresh air, not the full attention of a powerful man who always gets what he wants. Luca is magnetic, controlled, and wrapped in rumors that make sensible women step back. Elizabeth does the opposite. She resists him with sharp wit and steady resolve, even as his focus never wavers. Drawn into a glittering world where loyalty is fragile and trust is earned the hard way, Elizabeth feels the pull between her instincts and her heart. As tension rises and secrets start to surface, every choice carries weight. Desire simmers, danger circles closer, and one promise changes everything. How far can resistance go when walking away is no longer an option?
