She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. That our love could start a war. That my family might not accept the idea of us. But we never even got the chance to find out.... Because everything’s been ripped away from me. And all I’m left with is the memory of his touch and secrets that are threatening to break me from the inside out.

I hated to trick her...but I knew she would never go for the real me. She was beautiful, smart and funny - everything I could want. And I was...well. Me. Tattooed, foulmouthed bad boy. I told one little white lie hoping to meet someone different. And I did. Danniella Abbot. She wasn’t who I was expecting, and I guess she could say the same, because Danni made it very clear she wasn’t interested in me or my reasons for lying. The fact that she was my best friend’s little sister only complicated an already impossible situation.

You can’t outrun the truth.... It changes everything. Her secrets might have been exposed, but mine are still hanging over us. A betrayal that sends her straight into the arms of another. It’s like a knife to my heart. But I was holding the blade.

My entire life has been a lie...And the one person I allowed myself to trust has shattered any illusion I had left about who I was and where I came from. The men around me have proven just how unworthy they really are, and now I’m caught in the middle of something far more dangerous than I ever could have imagined. My father had to know this day would come. That his past would catch up with both of us. Sebastian wanted me as a pawn, and then for himself, but he seems to have forgotten who he’s dealing with. I’m Stella Doukas...mafia princess.

A secluded log cabin with snow-covered hills and crackling fires. Pure bliss. Or at least that was what my best friend and I had planned. But plans change when his twin brother decides to crash our holiday escape. Hendrix is steady, kind, and always by my side. Wilder is, well… wild. He's everything I shouldn't want while his twin—my best friend—is the perfect guy. Not that he's ever looked at me that way. Unlike his brother… who can't seem to take his eyes off of me.

Watching her walk away for a second time...nearly destroyed me. But it was nothing less than I deserved for the things I put her through. I should have let her go. I’d already caused Emmie enough pain to last a lifetime. But I’m a masochist. Her pain is my pain. And she’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And the sooner she understands that she belongs by my side, the better. Nothing she can do will convince me that we’re not made for one another. We might be toxic. Combustible. A match made in hell. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And together. We will reign.

Some demons we can't outrun. Kane Legend is mine. The gorgeous boy who always finds me. The ruthless bully I've spent my life avoiding. Even leaving Harrow Creek wasn't enough to escape his torment. Because I didn't stay away and neither could he. One weekend home...one party. One night that ruined everything.

I had the life most guys only dreamed about: The house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all. She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life. It wasn’t really her fault...or mine. We were caught up in the sins of our parents. She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of. My name is Savage after all. I will break her.... But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

Five years is a long time. Friendships can be made and lost. Relationships broken. Loved ones leave us, while new life enters the world. We’ve seen it all, but one thing remains. Or should I say, six things…

I’d been burned by Theo Cirillo enough to know that I should have seen this coming. He loved to show me his merciless side, but I couldn’t stay away from the deviant even if I wanted to. A prisoner of my own making, playing a game without knowing all the rules. Until the lies he’d been telling, the secrets he’d been keeping began to unravel around us. He was only manipulating me. Using me. I was nothing more than a nut he had to crack. And he split me right open, but he’s about to get a shock, because I’m not the kind of girl to roll over and take it. I’m Emmie Ramsey.

She doesn't belong here. From the moment she steps foot in Rosewood High - it's clear she must go. And I'll use my power to get rid of her. The betrayal I'm reminded of each time our eyes lock must end. She's a lost rich girl, trying to recover from the death of her parents. But none of that is my concern. This is my life. My rules. My senior year. What I say goes. And I say she's done. Until she proves me wrong....

The moment I discovered the dark truth, it descended on my life and threatened to swallow me whole. It tore at my soul, piece by piece. But I refused to go down alone. My need for vengeance pours out like a gaping wound…directed at the man I thought was my father. The one who trained me to become the monster I am. Until he’s paid the price, I’ll never truly be free. And I’ve found the perfect target. Someone he thought he could keep safe. Tucked away from the depraved world I barely survived. But I’ve found her. The innocent pawn in my twisted game.

I might have been the one who walked away, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still haunted by her - by what I did to her. But that’s the thing about ghosts…they always return when you least expect it. My stepsister was an outlet for my pain, but everything has changed. Now I’ve got nothing to lose. If she thought I hated her the first time we met, then she’s about to get a shock. The rage I felt didn’t compare to the fury that now consumes me. I might be empty, but I’m going to show her how it feels by taking away everything she has...one painful piece at a time.

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family. From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water. That was our past. Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: Taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.

For years I've kept my secrets. Kept the darkest, most twisted parts of myself buried from everyone around me. My need to destroy those responsible for tainting my life, ruining the person I was, the person I could've been, burns hotter with every passing day. And when I finally get the chance to confront one and unleash the monster he turned me into, I walk straight into the other. The one who haunts my nightmares. The girl who torments me relentlessly. The angel who could have saved me...but damned me instead. It's my turn to use her. As bait.

When something seems too good to be true. It’s usually because it is. A lesson I learned the hard way. Every single fear I had about falling for Leon, has just come true in the most brutal way. The sweet guy act he’s been putting on the past few weeks is over. The cold, hard truth is...he never wanted me. He only wanted retaliation. And like a fool, I played right into his wicked scheme. But I’m not the monster he thinks I am.

Forbidden never tasted so good. He’s my daddy’s best friend, and he took a huge chance on me. I wasn’t meant to thank him by falling into his bed, I was just meant to care for his twins. But my life has just imploded and he’s the only good thing I’ve got right now. She’s my best friend’s daughter. Completely off-limits and yet I simply can’t resist. I need her to look after my babies, but I want her for myself. She’s the first good thing to come into my life since my wife died.
