Aileen: They promised me as tribute. Youngest of six, I'm untouched. Unblemished. And in the world of the Irish mafia...Wanted. I'm given to a man I've never met. Forced into a union I didn't condone. Owned by a dangerous rival. He may take my body, but he won't steal my heart.

I was raised to be invisible. Kept hidden, protected, untouched. A pretty thing locked away from the world of men—and from the truth. Then the King of Ireland's criminal underworld claimed me. He rules with blood and fear, a man whispered about in back rooms and prayed against in churches. He doesn't ask. He takes. When his empire is threatened, mercy is a weakness he can't afford—until I become one. Now I belong to the most dangerous man alive. His captive. His obsession. His wife. There are no escape routes from a man like him. No bargains. No safe words.

First of all, that was a lie. I was far too interested in Willow—aka Chaos—Doyle. Second of all, she was my best friend’s sister-in-law. Which was a big freaking problem. She was light and I was far too much darkness for the likes of her. I was too paranoid and controlling because I’d learned very few people could be trusted. Not my family. Not my former job with the Army. I could barely breathe around all the lies I’d been fed in my life. Being alone was safer. Until she showed up at my door in trouble.

I'll make her my wife, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice. I've loved Rosa Rossi for so long, it feels as natural as breathing. But our love is forbidden. Taboo. Fire. If we're discovered, my life is forfeit, and she'll be exiled forever. But I know...I see through every glance sent my way. I feel every pulse of her heart. Now her life is danger, and she's under my protection. My job is to keep her safe. The woman will obey me, or suffer the consequences.

Being a contract killer for the mafia is easy. Take out the scumbag. Collect the cash. Go back to my uncomplicated life of solitude in the mountains. What I'm not prepared for is my next target. She's as innocent as I am sullied, and while most men cower in my presence, she stands up to me with enough sass and courage to stop me in my tracks. I have a decision to make. Carry out the contract and become as ruthless as the men I work for, or defy their orders and live with a target on my back. Which leaves me with one hell of an inconvenient problem.

I’m the king of the business world. The Alpha of my pack. No one dares challenge me. Except my new assistant. She questions me to my face and calls me Big Bad Boss behind my back. When I give her an order, she asks me why, with all my billions, I can’t afford some manners. Worse, the little human smells like temptation. She dresses to kill, and I want to sink my teeth into her. One day my control’s going to snap, and a wolf never stops hunting until he’s claimed his prey.

Marcella gave Maddox the impossible choice, and he chose her. Still, she wonders if Maddox is ready to commit to a relationship, or if he’s scared of losing the uninhibited freedom his biker lifestyle offered him.

I’m having a millionaire’s baby...New Year’s Eve, a night of new beginnings. Asher and I talked and sipped champagne. Eventually, we went up to my room at the bed and breakfast and...Let’s just say when I left that room, I was no longer a virgin. And that was it. Until I was approached for a nanny position that I wasn’t sure I was equipped for. And the man behind the curtain raising his best friend’s little girl was...Asher.
