Allerdings wehrt sie sich mit aller Macht gegen die Gefühle, die ihr geheimnisvoller Ex-Schwager in ihr weckt. Eine gemeinsame Zukunft ist eigentlich unmöglich, aber die gegenseitige Anziehung ist übermächtig. Sadia und Jackson müssen entscheiden: Sind sie stark genug, sich der Vergangenheit zu stellen?
Einmal im Jahr treffen sich Nicholas Chandler und Olivia Kane irgendwo auf der Welt für eine einzige leidenschaftliche Nacht - aber nicht für mehr. So lautet ihr unausgesprochenes Arrangement, denn nach einem schrecklichen Unfall sind die Familien Chandler und Kane verfeindet. Bis Olivia eines Tages nicht auftaucht und Nicholas sich fragen muss, ob seine Gefühle für sie nicht doch viel größer sind, als er dachte ...
When I find a gorgeous stranger in an alley, covered in blood, you'd think the logical thing would be to go to the authorities.
Not me. I take him home.
I've got my reasons, though. See, Kassam is cursed with hedonism. He's a god from another world, accidentally stuck in ours. Anyone (and everyone) around him falls under his spell. It's impossible to resist. Like scratching an itch. And being around Kassam? Boy, do I itch.
But trying to send the god home to his world is a near-impossible task. Between everyone we meet trying to kiss him and the gods of this world trying to get rid of him, I'm in over my head. There's only one solution that will keep me safe-marry him. Being the wife of a god will protect me from immortal machinations.
Now, I just need to figure out a way to protect my heart from Kassam himself.

She's a distraction he can't resist . . .
A spark ignites the moment security specialist, Hamilton Crosby, meets stuntwoman, Dakota Sherrod. She's like no other woman he's ever met. But Hamilton never ignores his gut, and his gut tells him to stay clear of the enticing beauty.
Dakota is an adrenaline junkie. Leaping off buildings and running through fire is just another day at the job. Hence when she sets her sights on Hamilton, she goes after him full-force. Their attraction is fierce, but he thwarts her advances at every turn. He's the strong, silent type who operates by a set of rules, but he'll soon realize she rarely follows rules.

The opposite of love isn't hate. It's Victor.
My boyfriend's back. But not like before.
He used to be a mafia prince. Now he's a king. Dark, cruel, and commanding.
My father destroyed him, and the payback price for that is 10 years of ownership.
'Ownership? Ownership of what? What could I possibly have that you want?' I asked him when I was still innocent.
His smile was so malicious as he answered, 'You.'
Then he presented me with a shackle disguised as a wedding ring.
So I'm his prisoner now. Can I survive his marriage sentence? Can my heart?'
You've never met an ex like Victor...
DAWN:
Three dates with the monster.
That's the price he's demanding for my freedom.
With a growing secret inside my womb, I have no choice but to accept his deal.
But can I tangle with the silent beast without losing myself again?
VICTOR:
She's escaped, and I'm undone.
A crime lord brought down by one woman.
They're saying that I must let her go. That I'll never be able to win her back.
She says that too.
But failure is not an option. Losing her will destroy any humanity I have left.
She's my addiction. My only weakness. The woman I chose over everything else.
Three dates. If that's all I have to prove I'm the man she belongs with, then I'd better make them count.
Victor.
No last name. Totally mysterious. He doesn't talk. He's insanely hot. And now...I'm supposed to be spending every Thursday with him???
When my dad asked me to tutor the son of an important business associate, I thought I was agreeing to teach a little kid.
Victor's definitely not a kid. In fact, it's hard to believe we're even the same age. He's way more powerful than any boy I've ever met.
Also, way more intense. He stares at me in this weird way. It almost feels like obsession.
But there's no way he could be attracted to me like I'm attracted to him. I'm just an overweight nerd with secret dreams I've never dared to tell anyone.
Until him.
I tell him all of my secrets.
But will I be able to handle it when I find out all of his?
Victor.
No last name. Totally mysterious. He doesn't talk. He's insanely hot. And now...I'm supposed to be spending every Thursday with him???
When my dad asked me to tutor the son of an important business associate, I thought I was agreeing to teach a little kid--not a mafia prince

I’ve fallen into an epic love story. But can I survive it?
