Devious Secrets by Measha Stone
She thought she could steal from me. Now she belongs to me.
The moment she walks into my club—dressed in a stolen uniform, carrying a tray of champagne—I know she doesn't belong.
When I catch her in my office, stealing secrets, I give her a choice: tell me who sent her... or find out exactly what happens to those who cross a Volkov.
She's fire and defiance wrapped in silk, and the harder she resists, the deeper my obsession sinks. I'm possessive. Overprotective. Dangerous. Now she's in my bed, bound by my rules—and I don't play fair.
She's made enemies, and they're closing in. But they'll have to get through me first.
Because she's mine now. And I won't let go.
Havoc by Cathleen Cole
I’d burn down the world to get my revenge…
But I’m not the only one hunting my dead wife’s killers. The men who took her stole another life, and his widow is already on the hunt.
I’ve found myself in a race for vengeance, but when I come face to face with Havoc, she’s not what I expect.
A warrior in her own right, she proves she can go toe to toe with me, the Don of the Italian Mafia. She isn’t afraid and nothing will stand in her way…or so she thinks. She’s temptation like I’ve never known.
We’re in a battle to the death with our enemies and have found each other on opposite sides. We’re both seeking the same thing...only my needs are shifting. Soon I may have to choose between her and my revenge. Will she be worth the risk?
Stay Toxic by Lani Lynn Vale
There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
Wrong.
I’d definitely been noticed.
Rise of the King by Bella Matthews
Forevers don’t exist when you’re on the run.
​
Amelia cannot get attached - not to the town or the people in it. And definitely not to the tall, dark, and handsome mafia prince who sweet-talks his way past her carefully built walls.
​
Why put yourself through that, knowing it’ll all be ripped away when you leave? And she will have to leave.
​
This life isn’t hers to keep.
​
Sam calls her Snow, like the fairy-tale princess. But her life is far from a fairy tale. Even a prince can’t change that.
​
For Sam Beneventi, there’s a difference between his family and The Family.
​
He’s been raised to one day take control of The Family, putting that above all else. Strength and power are all that matter.
​
Weakness isn’t an option. It’s an excuse. And Sam never makes excuses. Until his future walks into his life and blows it up with one single bullet.
​
When the lost princess stumbles into this mafia prince’s city, all bets are off. And Amelia is all he sees.
​
To keep her safe, it’s time for Sam to take control. To take the throne. To wear the crown. It’s time for the Rise of the King.
Cruel Paradise by Nicole Fox
What’s more embarrassing than a butt dial? Butt dialing your boss.... And leaving a dirty voicemail when you’re, uhh…"thinking" about them.
Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell. After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief. So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do. Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life. That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous. Tonight, fantasies of him are just what I need to push me over the edge.
But when I look down at my phone squished next to me, there it is. A voicemail for seven minutes and 32 seconds.... Sent to Ruslan Oryolov.
I panic and throw my phone across the room. But there is no undoing the damage done by my very vocal O. So what can I do? My plan was to just avoid him and act like it never happened. Besides, no one that busy checks their voicemails, right?
But when he schedules a one-on-one meeting with me for exactly seven minutes and 32 seconds, one thing is for certain: He. Heard. Everything.
Vengeance of a Mafia Queen by Siobhan Davis
Falling for the enemy was never part of my plan…
Losing my innocence at thirteen, in the most brutal way, changed me. My kidnapper stole my childhood and tried to break me. The knowledge my father orchestrated the entire situation hardened my heart, and instead of grieving his death, I celebrated it.
One down. Many more to go.
My burning need for revenge has only grown over the years, keeping me focused on my goals and enabling my rise to power.
Made men are weak. A pretty face and the promise of a good time easily distracts them.
Now, I’m in charge. Men bow before me.
Except for him—the brother of my abductor. Massimo fights me every step of the way, but I’m not about to let the explosive chemistry between us deter me from my chosen path. His family is my enemy. He is my enemy, even if he doesn’t know it yet.
I won’t stop until all those who wronged me are punished. By the time they realize I’m coming, it will be too late. They tried to take everything from me. But where they failed, I will succeed.
Unless he becomes my weakness.

Rush & Ruin by Catherine Wiltcher
My Protector. My Ruin.
Edier Grayson is the King of Shadows.
A ruthless sinner. A beautiful liar.
On the eve of my eighteenth birthday, he kissed my lips and painted the stars in the sky for me, but when I woke the next morning he was gone.
Now he paints the streets of New York City red, and his heart is as cold as his promises.
Ella Santiago and I were raised in this cartel life together.
I loved a girl with sunshine in her soul, until her father gave me two choices.
I walked away to spare Ella my fate.
Now she’s the one woman I can’t have, and the only woman I see.
Years later, we find ourselves in the same city.
I hate her for it.
My obsession is too strong...
I love her even more for it.
But Ella should know that all shadows crave light.
This is my world, and I’ll do whatever it takes to have her back in my arms.
The newspaper she works for? I bought it.
That date she made with a colleague? I crushed it.
I protect what’s mine—what’s always been mine—even when she can’t admit it.
Even when my enemies are determined to break it.
Black Sheep by Meghan March
Every family has a black sheep. In the infamous Casso crime family, that black sheep is me - Cannon Freeman.
​
Except I’m not a free man. I’ve never been free. Not since the day I was born. I owe my loyalty to my father, Dominic Casso, even if he won’t publicly acknowledge me as his blood.
​
I’ve never had a reason to go against his wishes...until I met her.
​
Drew Carson turned my world upside when she walked into my club looking for a job.
​
Now, my honor and my life are on the line.
​
Going against my father’s wishes might buy me a bullet straight from his gun, but black sheep or not, it’s time to make my stand.
​
She's worth the fallout.
Ferrara by T.L. Swan
There were three things that I wanted in life. To dance like nobody was watching. Travel the world. And fall hopelessly in love. I did all three.
We met at my older brother’s house and instantly I knew that he was trouble. He kissed me, right there in the bathroom without a care in the world. And from that moment on, I was his.
We were young, brave and naïve when we met. Sneaking around and falling in love. Giuliano Ferrara was perfection. A beautiful, crazy mistake. With his big brown eyes and his boyish charm.
But then the world fell apart and things didn’t go as planned. I never quite forgot him, no matter how hard I tried.
Years later, we saw each other again. And by the look in his eye, I instantly knew. The sweet romantic boy I once loved is long gone. In his place, a dominant, powerful man. Who gets what he wants, when he wants it.
We can never be together. It breaks my heart that he refuses to accept it.
I’m the object of his affection. And what Giuliano Ferrara wants. Giuliano Ferrara takes.
Possession by Brynne Asher
I’m nothing but a payment, bartered to the most powerful cartel in the northern hemisphere and forced to marry a man I do not know.
My father sold me to save his own skin. He might as well have ushered me to the gates of hell.
The Marino family is sadistic. If rumors are true, they’ll own me, use me, control me, and strip me of every freedom I’ve taken for granted. I’ll be a shiny new toy in a dark and deadly underworld.
So when my husband drops the bomb that our arranged marriage is only a means to an end, I realize there’s something worse than merely being a possession.
My stupid, stupid heart.
In the end, the last thing I expected to do was fall in love.
Corrupted Innocence by Measha Stone
He wouldn't take my money. He wanted my innocence instead.
When Nikolai Romanov came looking for my brother, I emptied my savings hoping I could pay off his debt. But I didn't have even close to enough, so the bastard decided to take me instead.
I didn't expect a Russian mafia boss like him to be gentle with me... and he wasn't.
Not when he spanked me for daring to wear panties under the dress he chose for me, and certainly not when he stripped me out of that same dress and made me scream in his bed.
He told me I would be his for a month, but the way he looks at me says I'm his forever...
The Banker by Penelope Sky
I have a problem—I’m falling for the man I’m supposed to betray.
My father has chosen a life of crime in the underworld, but I’ve made a different choice for myself. His past has caught up to him, and now I’m the only one who can save him. They make their demand in exchange for my father’s life—Cato Marino. One of the richest and most powerful man in Italy.
Ruthless and powerful, I have no chance of capturing him. The only way to get close to a man like Cato…is to seduce him. Get in his bed and make him beg to keep me there. I do the unthinkable…and sleep with him.
But now I’m the one begging to stay. Cato has become everything I’ve ever wanted in a man. Masculine but affectionate. Reserved but assertive. He wants me at his side always, in his bed every night, and he’s erased the memory of every man that came before him. I burn in his fire and dance in the ashes. I’m the one that’s supposed to seduce him…but he’s made me head-over-heels.
Now I’m faced with the horrible betrayal I’m supposed to commit.
The men demand the exchange—Cato Marino for my father. Now I’m forced to choose between love and family. And if I don’t decide my answer soon, something worse could happen.
Cato could discover my treason—and he’s the not the kind of man you cross.

Alexius by Bella J.
I’ve never met him. Never even seen him.
But I’ve heard the whispers. The rumors. The stories about him being as cruel as his father.
Maybe even worse.
They say his presence wraps around your throat whenever he enters a room. And that’s exactly what I feel the moment he walks into the diner where I work, and I hear people breathe out his name.
Alexius Del Rossa.
They call him the crown prince of the Dark Sovereign—a society of men who own everything but the weather in this town.
Men say he has ice in his veins, and women talk about the corrupted heart in his chest. He’s the kind of man you pray never to cross paths with. The kind of man a girl like me has no chance of surviving.
But while his eyes trap mine, and his magnetism touches my skin, I’m unable to move when he forces me into a corner and hands me an envelope.
It’s an offer.
One I can’t refuse.
See, I have nothing. No family. No friends. No home.
I can disappear and no one will know.
And that is exactly why he chose me.
Breaking Hailey by I.A. Dice
CARTER
Hailey Scarlett Vaughn was meant to be a pawn in my revenge plan.
I was supposed to break her. Use her. Discard her.
But the moment I looked into her wide eyes, I knew I’d rather ruin her instead.
She’s soft where I’m sharp, innocent where I’m cruel.
And when she trembles beneath me, I know she’s caught in my web. Catching feelings as fast as I am.
She can’t see the lies. Doesn’t realize that I’m trying to retrieve what’s locked inside her pretty little head... the key to my father’s freedom.
But as her memories resurface, I realize I’m not the only monster in this story.
HAILEY
I came to Lakeside to heal, but the moment I stumbled into him, I knew peace wasn’t an option.
He’s is a storm. Dark, dominant, utterly relentless. He never asks—he takes what he wants.
And right now? He wants me.
He owns me. Takes my body, mind, and soul. Breaks me apart and puts me back together, one filthy whispered promise at a time.
But soon, my lost memories trickle back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal—I’m here to hide.
Waking up without memories is terrifying but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.

It's my first time meeting my sister's fiancé. I knock on the door, and who do I see with his arm around her? The man who got me pregnant.

When I see who she's marrying, my jaw hits the floor. This… This cannot possibly be real.

A Sinner's Promise by Kylie Kent
Gio
Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only.
A monster.
My father did everything in his power to make sure that’s exactly what I became too.
He wasn’t expecting that the monster he created would be the one to take him out though.
Now I’m in charge. Of the family, the empire. Everything.
I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live. I didn’t want my four younger brothers to have to remain in the house of horrors, aka our childhood home, any longer than they had to be.
But the second I lay eyes on my new realtor, my sole focus becomes making her mine in every way possible.
​
Eloise
I’ve worked my ass off to land the elite property listings in Melbourne.
The downfall? Elite properties come with elite assholes.
I’ve learnt over the past year how to deal with the suggestive comments and overly friendly touches from prospective buyers.
When I meet my latest client, Gio De Bellis, all my skills seem to go on vacation.
Because one look at him has me wanting to throw caution to the wind and give in to the temptation he’s offering.
But my career is way more important to me than one sinfully appetising, hot piece of man candy. At least, I think it is…
Broken by Sadie Kincaid
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness?
Never fall in love.
That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well.
Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.
But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover.
I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong?
Enter Melanie Edison, the five-foot-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth I’ve ever heard. And I have more fun not dating her than I did dating any woman before, even with Melanie’s absurd no-sex-before-marriage rule.
But when our business arrangement becomes so much more, I end up breaking my most important rule. And that’s when it all goes to hell.
I have no idea how we can ever repair the damage that’s been done. I’m not even sure I want to. And maybe going back to my old life won’t be so hard.
Except it’s too late. I broke my rule.
And she broke me.
Bennett Mafia by Tijan
There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy.
The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers.
I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother. Kai Bennett.
He was the most of them all. Smoldering. Hypnotic. Alluring.
Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams.
Then I met him.
He came to our school with their father, and that's when I learned what kind of family Brooke came from. They were mafia, and Brooke's oldest brother was dead. Her father said accident, but Brooke said murder.
Three months later, her father died, and Kai became the head of the Bennett Family. Brooke left Hillcrest for good, and that was the last time I saw her.
Fourteen years later, I'm staring at her face on the television. Brooke is missing.
Two days later, Kai Bennett kidnaps me.
The Woman in the Trunk by Jessica Gadziala
I couldn’t stop my father from getting involved with the mafia.
When I was kidnapped and held as collateral for his debt, a lifetime of cleaning up his messes told me I couldn’t count on his help, either.
I would need to save myself.
A woman could only be pushed so far.
And I was finished with being a victim.
There was one problem.
Lorenzo Costa.
Underboss to the most powerful don of NYC’s Five Families.
Powerful. Cunning. Ruthless.
And far too sinful for his - or my - own good.
Our attraction grows in a city of old resentments, boiling tensions, resurfacing ghosts, and a shift in power that threatens to spill more blood than the families have seen in generations.
Lives would be lost.
Loyalties would be tested.
And through it all I wondered:
Would Lorenzo’s and my new bond weather the coming storm?
Would we would survive at all…
Blood of My Monster by Rina Kent
I’m out for revenge. He’s out to rule the world.
​
Kirill and I are as different as day and night. We shouldn’t have been in the same frame or universe.
But we meet under the strangest circumstances.
​
He’s my superior in the military and the man who’ll introduce me to carnage.
​
His charm and exterior perfection shouldn’t have tempted me.
​
Behind the smokescreen lurks a manipulative emotionless monster.
​
And that monster might find out all my secrets, including the reason why I’m pretending to be a man.
​
He might also lure me to the point of no return.
Illicit King by Maggie Cole
He wants to destroy my father’s throne. I should avoid him, but I can’t keep my hands off him.

​
He’s my sworn enemy--part of a rival clan.
​
But no matter how much I try to shake him, or our heated encounters, I can’t.
​
Every step I take, he’s there, lurking in the shadows, studying me, waiting for any chance to undermine my efforts to become my father’s successor.
​
Brody says I’m naive--in the dark about Da’s true dealings. He’s screwing with my head.
​
Da is cruel, but he’s not capable of something so heinous.
​
Or is he?
​
If Brody’s right, then where does that leave me?
​
Where does it leave us?
