Freaking awesome

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.

When my best friend Casey ghosted me for an entire summer, my life took a crazy turn. So crazy, I think I might’ve just circled back to our last conversation the night after she popped her cherry with two honest-to-god Doms. Now I really need to talk to her because I think for the first time I might be able to one-up her in the kink department. Spoiler alert: I have my own pair of kinky guys now too. The twist? Mine are twins.

Reuniting with them after three years apart is more mind-blowing than I can imagine. We‘re no longer innocent, limited by circumstance, and they’ve been busy, inventing and building the most epic sex toy I‘ve ever seen.

When a sexy venture capitalist arrives to invest in the twins’ fancy sex machine, all three of us are in a run for our money. Not only does the investor want to gamble to the tune of millions for the plans, he wants to own it. And he’s willing to invest even more to have the inventors and their girlfriend.

Some things fit together better after they’re broken.

A 3AM call from across the country is never good news, especially not when my stepfather is on the other end, relaying a tragedy that tears my entire world apart.

In the midst of our grief, we struggle to pick up the pieces, but the old pieces don’t quite fit together the way they used to. I’m no longer the little girl he helped my mother raise. He’s still my hero, but looks at me in a way that incites overwhelming desires for the only man who can keep me whole in the aftermath of my mother's death. What’s worse is that I might be the only person who can keep him whole, too.

But my mother had secrets that I’m barely prepared to unearth, and when I do, I discover a second man who is just as broken by the loss. Mom’s secret lover knew a darker side of her, and was left in the cold after her death. My stepfather and I might be the only ones who can bring him back from the brink of self-destruction.

But how far will we go to put the pieces back together?

Getting even never felt so good.

My stepbrother Ben is one of the biggest jerks I’ve ever known. I’ve had to endure his ridicule for a decade, and to top it off, our parents seem to love him more. So when I catch him in a compromising position during a college frat party, I take advantage of it, threatening to tell our parents his dirty little secret in exchange for one tiny favor.

Ben gives in to my blackmail, but in the process, I find myself in a situation I never expected I’d be in. I definitely didn’t expect to enjoy it so much. And I absolutely never expected to want more.

I could taste the sting…

I’ve had a crush on my stepdad for half my life. But he’s always been too old and too intimidatingly good looking. Besides, what would he think if he knew the kinds of dark cravings I have?

The summer after graduation I stay out past curfew one night without realizing it.

My stepdad is a stickler for the rules, so when I go inside he’s sitting on my bed, waiting. He demands I bend over and accept punishment for breaking curfew.

I obey as if I’m under a spell. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out one of my secrets.

When I try to rise after he’s finished, he stops me. "I need you to say it out loud, Case. Did my spanking you turn you on?”

Did having my hero discipline me in the best way possible turn me on? Damn right it did.

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.

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.

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.

I WARNED HER.

I told her not to set foot in my casino again. I told her to stay away. Because if I see those hips swinging around my suite, I’ll pin her against the wall and take her hard.

And once I make her mine, I’m not gonna set her free.

I’m king of the Vegas underground and I take what I want.

So she'd better run. Stay the hell away from my casino.

Or I’ll tie her to my bed. Put her on her knees.

Break her.

I needed to get laid so bad.

It had been years, and if I’m honest, the last time was… not good.

But I lived in a small beach village managing vacation villas, so sexy eligible men didn’t exactly grow on trees. Until he showed up.

He ran a major real estate firm in the city. So, basically, he was loaded.

And I know what you’re thinking. But he wasn’t old and gross. He was in his twenties and his body… Oh, he was like Adonis reincarnated.

The moment we checked into my villa, I wanted to jump his bones.

The only problem? He was also the biggest asshole I’d ever met.

Was I totally fucked?
