I’m the female heir to LA’s underground empire, which makes love a liability. But there are two men I won’t give up … no matter the cost.

One is my first love, a man my ruthless father had beaten more than a decade ago for daring to touch me. He’s back in town and those feelings have been rekindled with a vengeance.

The other is my bodyguard, a man who would take a bullet for me, and nearly dies trying to do just that.

Daring to bring us together for one explosive night of passion puts all three of our lives on a collision course with one of the most deadly Mexican cartels. For some reason my father’s oldest enemy is after me, and uncovering my family’s dark secrets might be the only way to protect the men I love.

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.

All we had to do was make it through the weekend. It should’ve been a breeze. A tattoo convention in Cancún with Toni Valentine, the toughest and sexiest tattoo artist in the world? It was a dream come true.

It was my chance to show her how I’d grown. I came to work for her when I was just some kid from LA and she already had a spread in Maxim and a successful video stream, but over the past three years, we’ve gotten close. And I had plans for us to get even closer.

But now my plans have changed. Now I’ve got to prove myself in a different way—by saving her from one of Mexico’s most brutal cartels.

I’d do anything for Toni, and that includes walking right into the belly of the beast. And I’m not coming back without her.

Three years ago, J.J. Santos, Jr. got himself killed—at least that’s what it said on paper. The DEA resurrected me as Mason Black, forcing me to leave behind everyone I’ve ever cared about, including an angel in blue scrubs I can’t seem to get out of my head.

Her name is Dr. Callie Nicolo, and when our paths cross again, I’m in more danger than ever before. But I’m not about to leave her behind this time. Not even if it compromises my identity and my mission.

I’m the kind of man who wants it all. I’ll find a way to pacify the warring cartels on my tail and make up for lost time with the woman of my dreams. Most importantly, I’ll protect what’s mine—the doc who saved my life in more ways than one, and the little girl waiting for me back in Mexico.

My family’s ties to a certain set of crime lords are more tangled and volatile than the wires in an IED. They’ve called on me to disarm a situation ready to explode, but in spite of all my training, I’m not sure any of us are getting out of this unscathed.

That’s especially true when I find out the black-ops mission I’ve signed up for is commanded by none other than Sadie Watts, the girl who left me in the dust so many years ago I should be over it. But I’m not, and seeing her again, especially in such close quarters, is a distraction I can’t afford.

I know what I’m out here fighting for—my brothers; my sister; the USA—but as we close in on our target, I start to wonder if it’s not her I’m fighting for too.

Which is why whoever is after her company is after her. Taylor resists her brother’s suggestion to hire independent security, but when someone breaks into her house, she accepts that she needs help. Accepting help from Ryker might mean surrendering more than just her schedule to someone else’s control. It might mean surrendering her heart, too. But that’s one piece of her that is not up for negotiation.

Mason O’Connor knows his place in the world. Save a few good guys, eliminate a few bad guys, and keep to himself. He wasn’t always on the right side of that equation, and he paid for his sins.
