Reaper's Claim

Reaper's Claim

by 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?

The Destiny Makers Book 1: The Pack Doctor

The Destiny Makers Book 1: The Pack Doctor

by Constance Marounta

Six-year-old Estella Graham stood traumatized at the edge of the forest, weary of the wolves that approached the fiery car wreck that had claimed her family. But there was something comforting about the scent of Max, as he transported her to the safety of his pack house. She never wanted to let him go. Max Kinsky didn’t want a mate, content to pursue his medical calling and play the field until the night his wolf identified his mate in this girl who stood in the smoke of a car fire. Unfathomable, but if true, he’d have to wait years until she was old enough to fulfill The Moon Goddess’s plans for them. Until then, he’d have to carry the secret of their destiny, and hope her life wouldn’t lead her away before it was appropriate to tell her.

Falling, Falling, and Fallen

Falling, Falling, and Fallen

by Ahanaa Rose

His cold eyes raked my body, and I hated the tremble that went down my spine.

“Of course, I remember you,” he said, his lip curling. “I never forget a good fuck.”

Anger surged through me, and I cocked back my hand for a slap, but he caught it easily.

He smirked, thinking he’d won. But he’d forgotten about my other hand…

Which I curled into a fist. And fired into his face.

Four years ago, Lina shared a passionate night with her boss, the elusive billionaire Aaron Blackwood. But then he disappeared, leaving her to deal with the fallout. So when they meet again at a fancy gala, tempers run high. But what will he do when he discovers the two little secrets Lina kept from him all these years?

Bad Business

Bad Business

by Elise Faber

I was a single dad. I didn’t have time for love.

When I found out I had a son, my life changed for the better. My kid was great. My heart, though, was not. It had been trampled, kicked around, and shredded just for good measure. Obviously, after all that, I wasn’t looking for love.

But then…came Maddie.

She was an integral part of my brother’s company—it would be bad business to start something with her.

Only, she was smart and funny and capable and…my heart didn’t feel like it was in pieces when I was with her.

It felt whole. It felt like it had always been hers. It felt like…I needed to keep her forever.

Desperate

by Sapir Englard
