NY Times bestselling author Gina L. Maxwell is back with the second in the Deviant Kings series set in a modern world but with a dark, erotic fantasy twist perfect for fans of Neon Gods.
I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped … by the king of the dark fae.
For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall Hotel and Casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to
Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas.
Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She
should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave … even if she could.
Not every story that starts with once upon a time ends in happily ever after... Peter and I were drawn to each other from the very beginning—even when I was just a kid, sneaking out to see him at the rundown orphanage for boys. I thought we'd be forever. We weren't. So, I left our small town with nothing but a map for my future and a shattered heart, and I didn't look back. Until now. See, I'm organizing the fundraiser of the year, and I need Peter, master mechanic, to help me rebuild a classic car for an auction that'll help hundreds of foster kids. I was sure I was prepared to see him again. After all, I wasn't the naïve girl I'd been when his touch made me fly. I could ignore his magnetic pull this time around. I was wrong. Because the boy who broke my heart grew into a man who wants a second chance, and our connection is deeper and hotter than ever. But love wasn't enough to keep us together once upon a time. Why should I believe in it—and him—now?
THEY CALL ME HOOK.
I am what my past made me.A villain.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to let the monster who ruined me destroy
my brother. I'll do whatever it takes to bring that bastard down for good.
Even work with Officer John Darling.
He's too young, too good, too...everything for me. He should stay away.
Too bad he's no better at doing what he should than I am. He thinks he
can save me. But I've been lost in the darkness so long, no light can reach
me now. Not even one that burns as bright as Johnathan Darling.
HE CALLS ME DARLING.
I was a kid when I met Hook. I crushed hard on the broody
teen—following him around, hoping he'd pay attention to me. He didn't,
though. Not until I became his only option for saving his brother. Now, he
can't hide from me. Just like he can't hide the desire in his eyes whenever
I'm on my knees for him. But Hook has secrets. Dark ones. And now this
undercover operation isn't my only mission. I'll risk everything to break
down his walls and make him see himself as I do.
Because he's not the villain...he's the hero.
And he's mine.
One sexy fireman. Three dates. And a whole lot of heat . . .
A one-night stand is just what Olivia Jones needs to transition back into the dating world after a two-year hiatus. To hell with being prim and proper. It's not like she'll ever see him again. For just one night, she's going to shed her inhibitions and let this sexy-as-hell man bring all her fantasies to life.
When a twist of fate throws Boston firefighter Erik Grady together with the woman who gave him the hottest night of his life, he has only one mission: to charm her into giving him a chance and show her there's more between them than just the heat they shared in that hotel room.
Helping each other heal from their pasts might be playing with fire, but a desire this strong is worth getting burned.
Contains mature themes.
People call me Ruthless for a reason.
Whether in the court room or the bedroom, my reputation is well-earned. I'm either working hard, working out, or working my way into some woman's panties. Problem is, none of them share my particular kink, and I end up walking away unsatisfied.
Until I meet her.
She's a friend of a friend, which makes her off-limits until temptation takes me by the balls and I'm taking her up against a wall. She literally f*cks my world off its axis, but I can't let it happen again.
My plan of avoiding her got blown to shit when my firm hired her as a new junior attorney. Now I'm her boss, and I have to act like I don't want to bend her over my desk every five minutes.
But I've never held myself back from anything before, so consequences be damned. It's time to take what we both want and show her just how damn good feels . . . to be ruthless.
Contains mature themes.
I'm not always the hero. Sometimes I'm merciless.
My whole life I've been the good guy-loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter-but in the bedroom I'm someone else. That's where my inner villain likes to come out and play.
With a kink as taboo as mine, it's too risky to play with anyone who doesn't crave it like I do, so I've gotten used to depriving that side of me. Then I see her. She's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She's everything I could ever want and thought I would never find.
Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive-and soon my soul demands to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart at every turn, but I'll be damned if I let them.
I will fight for our future, and I will be . . . merciless.
Contains mature themes.
People say I'm shameless. They're right.
I like my sex dirty. It takes a hell of a lot to tilt my moral compass, and I always follow when it's pointing at something I want. That goes double when it points straight at the one girl in all of Chicago who's not dying for a piece of me.
She's all I can think about, and that's a problem, because she wants nothing to do with me. But I've seen her deepest secrets, her darkest fantasies, and they match mine to a fucking T.
I want her. Bad.
Now I need to show her how good it can feel . . . to be shameless.
Contains mature themes.
Alyssa Miller is tired of waiting for her next-door neighbor to see her as more than just his best friend. Ready to let off some steam, she heads to Las Vegas for a romance-book convention where, if she's lucky, she'll get down and dirty with one of the sexy cover models. Dillon Alexander doesn't do commitment-especially not where his best friend is concerned. She deserves a man who can give her the world, not damaged goods. But when he realizes Alyssa intends to have a one-night stand on her vacation, he hauls ass after her to make sure he's the one to scratch her itch. Neither of them expects their explosive chemistry to burn hotter than the lights on the strip-all they need is a little help from Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, a flamboyant matchmaker, and TSA.
