father. He knows he should let her go... but he’s never claimed to be a good man.

in a bid for his late father’s empire, he must decide between honor and vice. In need of a wife—and
desperate to possess her—Matteo makes Riley an offer she can’t refuse. She will be his bride—in every
meaning of the word—so that he can protect his legacy.
But Matteo soon learn
s that Emilia’s soul is darker even than his own.
And by marrying Riley, he has made her a pawn in a
power struggle that could shatter their
world.

He is what I need.
At the young age of
eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to
flee all she has known and loved to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s
finally dared to believe she is forgotten–even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her
guard down, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.
On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again
and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant,
and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what
he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is
Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps
her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her
erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything
from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants
more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes?
Secrets and lies. They are everywhere: haunting her, tormenting her. In
the midst of it all, he’d been her escape, her passion. The only person she’d trusted in six years. And
then he’d made her doubt that trust, cutting her deeply. But as she’d once told him, she was damaged,
not broken. She is ready to fight and not just for
survival. She is fighting for the truth and she won’t stop
until she has it, not even for...him.
Chase Winter let the
love of his life slip through his fingers and into
the
hands of his best friend and mafia boss of the Abandonato family. Now that he's been given a second
chance to right a wrong, he refuses to let his own
selfishness stand in the way. The only problem? He's
not fully in possession of his heart, so when Mil De Lange — the girl who's innocence he stole and heir to
the worst of the worst mafia families in the US — asks him for a favor... he says yes, not realizing that
one yes has the power to destroy them all.
Mil's been in love with Chase Winter as long as she can remember, but as
the years went by, love turned into hate, and now that he's agreed to help her, she's wondering if she
made a fatal error. Because Chase isn't a teenager
anymore. He's a hot-blooded male, bent on owning
every part of her, body and soul, and he's willing
to kill anyone in his path who dares stand in the
way.
Secrets will finally
be revealed... but make no mistake, it's going to
take
a lot of bloodshed for those truths to be discovered.
You've never read a New Adult Mafia story like this before. Loyalties will
be tested, lovers reunited, and friendships obliterated.

**The first book in the USA today Bestselling No Regrets
series**
A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Black
mail. And
Power...
Some say love can be
an addiction. Others say it's the thing that makes
life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love... Love isn't patient, love isn't kind
. Love is
a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves.
At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was
addicted
to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in
the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm being blackmailed for all my mistakes
,
forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don't regret.
Trey.
With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were
temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they
took away all the pain, and numbed the awful
memories that wore away at my ragged, wasted heart.
Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever
missed when she walked away. But now she's back in
my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for
us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is
she's the closest I've ever come to something real,
and I want to feel every second of it.
How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you
know?
You ever really think
that you'll win the lottery? Meet Mr. Right? How
about two Mr. Rights?
Somehow the universe
is handing me everything I want (except for that
lottery part...), and I don't like it. Not one little bit. Because just when you get all your dreams handed to
you on a silver platter, that's when an airplane dumps its sewage on your house. Or your mama's
diabetes takes a bad turn. Or your mobile phone gets stuck in your hoohaw.
(What? It happens...)
Boring old average me
got everything I wanted already, moving from
small-town Ohio to big-city Boston to follow my heart. So when the fancy invitation offering me a pile
of
money to come with the band, Random Acts of Crazy,
to perform on an island resort and be their
manager arrived, I thought it was a cosmic joke. Enough money to help my mama get what she needed,
five days in sunny paradise, and a shot at greatness for the band? Unreal. One big shoe was waiting to
drop. On my head.
Just like no one really ever finds a naked man wearing only a guitar
standing by the side of the road hitchhiking and ends up falling in love with him and his friend and
moving halfway across the country for true love, no
one gets an invitation to come to what turns out to
be a resort where people make what me and Joe and Trevor do together look like a chaste peck on the
cheek. But...
Well.
I guess these things
do happen.
To me.
