Double Take

Double Take

Taz Zobell

Lucas has carefully built his image as the rebel, the one no one expects much from, and he plans to keep it that way. When his twin brother agrees to tutor Rina, Lucas ends up stepping in, pretending to be someone he is not. It should be simple, just a favor and a secret kept. But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden. As their connection grows through late nights and quiet moments, Lucas finds himself caught between the truth and the role he is playing. Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.

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.
