My name is Kash Knight and I'm a protector. It runs deep in me, this need to dedicate myself to a woman and make her feel secure and cared for in every single way. Not just physically, but emotionally. But when women see my hard body, all they want is for me to pleasure them and give them their ultimate fantasy. I need something more, though, someone I can give my heart to. And when my eyes land on the sassy blonde that seems too busy to put her needs first, I know without a doubt that it's her I want.

Ryker finally told me what happened all those months ago. He explained his distance, his coldness. Now everything makes sense. I've been with Zeke for a long time now, and everything is exactly how I want it to be. I adore him. No, I love him. But there's a warning deep in my gut. Zeke is acting differently, and Ryker isn't the same either. It's the calm before the storm. I can feel it.

It was anything but easy, but Gideon Black has finally managed to create a safe haven for himself on the gritty streets of Detroit. He worked hard to get on the straight and narrow, pulling himself up from an underground crime syndicate before it consumed him completely. But the past isn't staying put, and now that it's come calling, it's not after him but the woman he considers the closest thing he has to family....

After eight years in prison, Levi Rush is finally out and back on the gritty streets of Detroit to claim the future he was owed. A future that includes the one woman he's wanted for years - his former best friend, Rachel. She's the reason he went inside, and if getting her to do what he wants means buying the building that houses her tattoo studio and using it as leverage, then that's what he'll do. Because if there's one thing he's learned inside, it's that if you want to win, you have to play dirty.

My brother is an idiot. He won the lottery and invested all of his money in a run-down bowling alley. Since he's barely making it, he moved in with me. Great. Having him around the house isn't the worst thing in the world, but he does make a mess like nobody's business. My friends Zeke, Jessie, and Kayden keep me sane but there's only so much they can do. And it's definitely not the worst thing in the world when his old friend, Ryker, moves to town.

Ryker and I aren't exactly perfect. But I was falling for him - and falling hard. Every kiss. Every touch. Every embrace. Just made me realize this wasn't a fling. It wasn't even a relationship. It was so much more. I just hoped Rex was wrong about Ryker. Because I didn't have the heart to listen to him say those terrible three words. Told you so.

Ryker dumped me. Everyone warned me dating him was the wrong decision. But I did it anyway. Now that it's been three months I'm finally in a good place. I haven't started dating just yet but I know that will happen in time. Finally, I don't think about Ryker anymore. But when I have a dream about Zeke, a very inappropriate one, I start to wonder things I shouldn't.

Born into a family whose wealth grew from the seedy world of big-time crime, he ran away as a teenager and made a home for himself on the streets of Detroit. By day the mechanic works at a local garage. But by night he throws down with the best of them in Detroit's gritty underground fighting scene. With all those muscles, he's never had trouble with women - until he meets one who challenges him to the greatest fight of his life....

Jessica Roth thought she'd found the one man who could fulfill her in every way. He was gorgeous, controlling, and amazing in bed and said everything that she desperately wanted to hear. That was, until she heard him say the one thing she never suspected was true.

Jessica wanted to believe Nathan was a changed man. The lust filled promises he made in bed are no match for the reality that she's now holding in the palm of her hand. Sex drives men like Nathan Moore. She suspected it then experienced it, and now there's absolutely no denying it. She knows what the right thing to do is. He knows that he's never met anyone like her.

Nathan promised Jessica just one thing during those nights in his hotel room - sex unlike anything she had experienced before. She thought it would be simple, but with a man like Nathan, that's not possible. He was complex, determined, and too tempting to resist. When her life intersects with his in the most unexpected way, she realizes that fate and chance don't exist in his world.

Jessica Roth dumped her boyfriend, moved to New York, and wanted desperately to start her new life off with a bang - a literal mind-blowing, soul-shaking night of pure, raw, memory-making sex. She thought her one-time chance encounter with attorney Nathan Moore in a hotel room would become a jumping point for her exciting, single, and adventurous life in the city. One night turned into two, into four, and into more - always at the same place, always at the same time; no last names, no personal details, and absolutely no complications.

The name is Braden Blood. I know Eliza's secret. I know exactly who she is. She's gonna give me everything I want - or else I'm gonna destroy the life she hopes to have with Galen. If what I want happens to be her, well...she's had it coming for years. She deserves everything she gets.

I'm Braden Blood, and I'm going to use Eliza any way I want. Yeah, she's my stepbrother's sub. Yeah, he's falling in love with her. That just makes the game better. You see, I know the truth about Eliza. And if she wants to keep me from telling the truth to Galen, then she's going to do anything I want.

He needs a fake girlfriend to rehab his reckless image, and I'm the (safe, sensible) girl for the job. I would be insulted...if the proposal didn't come with an all-expenses-paid trip to England while he shoots a new movie version of Pride and Prejudice. 

Right now, Clarissa, our tour guide, is talking about prehistoric cave paintings. In a moment, she'll point at the mammoth.... Wait for it.... "Look at the mammoth on your right," she says. Told you! I've done her tour six times in two months. Everyone gawks at the mammoth. My eyes stay trained on Clarissa's lovely face. After the tour, I'll ask her out, fully expecting her to say no. I mean, why would a hotshot Parisian archaeologist go on a date with a dairy farmer from the sticks? But I need to hear Clarissa's no. Maybe then I'll be able to forget her.
