They call him the devil. When I crash-landed into him on my first day at Loyola Academy, I was sure that couldn’t be true. He was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen in real life. Little did I know he was also the cruelest. I went from starstruck to stunned the moment his cynical eyes cut through me. I can’t tell you what it was that made him want to punish me. But from that day forward the brooding recluse of a man made it his goal to torment me. I want to loathe him, and some days, I do. But good or bad, nobody’s attention has ever tasted so sweet.

She was never supposed to walk into my club. But she did. I shouldn’t have looked twice at her. But I did. The criminal underworld is no place for a girl like her. One night with Katerina isn’t enough, but men like me can’t afford to be weak. So, I tell her to leave me behind. She does, but not before she sees something she shouldn’t. When she goes into hiding, it’s my duty to hunt her down. I have a job to do, and she needs to disappear for good. But four years later, Kat isn’t alone anymore. And the little boy right beside her looks just like me.

Your first kiss is supposed to be sweet. Ours was baptized in fire. I was the new girl trying to find her place. Landon was the brooding neighbor I tutored over the summer. I didn’t know he was a legend at Black Mountain Academy. I didn’t know they worshipped him like a religion. But, I fell for him before I knew those things. To me, he was just the tortured soul who drew me in like a magnet. And then, he did something so unspeakable, so unforgivable, it shattered me. I ran away then because I was weak, but I’ve shed my tears.

From the first night I bedded her, I knew I was playing with fire. And now I must face the consequences. I betrayed my best friend. A man who was more a brother to me than my own blood. And now I fear I have lost her too. She claims men hold all the power in our world, but she has brought me to my knees. I love her. I know that now. Too little too late. Breaking a heart is easy. Mending one is more complicated. But a predator lies in wait of her. And I’ll do anything I must to keep her safe.

I’m a good girl. I live by a code that can’t be bent or broken. It is my duty to my family to stay innocent and pure. To marry an Italian man. The stars are already aligned. But Nikolai Kozlov re-writes my destiny with five simple words. You belong to me now. He's Russian mafiya. A thief. A skilled liar with no moral boundaries. He is everything I have been taught to hate. A man who stands for nothing. A man who takes what he wants without a second thought. And what he wanted was me.

Once upon a time, I believed in fairytales. But then he took me. And he taught me that life isn't a fairytale. He is scarred. Broken. A dark and wild thing. His beauty is violent and his words are cruel. His heart is a shadowed landscape where nothing can grow. He tells me he could never care for me, and he proves it every day.

I’ve been in hiding for four years. On the run from the man in whose bed I once slept. I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. Took something I shouldn’t have taken. And he’s just found me. But it’s not just my safety I have to worry about. I have a little boy. His little boy. The secret baby of a Russian mobster.

From the shadows, I’ve tracked her every move. I was just supposed to watch her. But now, I can’t stop. She’s my obsession. My addiction. My poison. Watching her isn’t enough. The savage in me won’t be satisfied until I take her and make her mine. One taste and I’m hooked. Too bad for her...I’m never letting her go.

An ancient curse. Two families bound. A forbidden love. When the Wildbloods presented their daughters to me on the night of the Tithing, they knew what was to come for the chosen girl. The crescent moon that marked Willow made her mine. I had no choice but to take her. Destiny determined our fates long before we were born, laying our roles out for us. A Sacrifice would be made. A Tithe paid. Only then would our families be free, at least until the next payment came due. I would have done my duty as Penitent. I tried.

There’s a thin line between hate and tolerance, and it seems to sit squarely between us. Lola Bell could easily bring an army of men to their knees, as long as she never opened her mouth. She’s soft in too many ways. A people-pleaser who goes the extra mile. Some might call her an easy target. In short, she has all of the qualities that I despise. But when it comes to me, she doesn’t hesitate to fling her poison arrows my way. She has every right to her feelings. Over the years, I’ve given her plenty of ammo. Yeah, I hate Lola. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her too. When she makes me a proposition I can’t refuse, there’s just one problem.

Before the world knew me as a rock god, I was just the angry boy who stole her heart. She was a good girl. The forbidden fruit I wasn’t meant to taste. Our stars were crossed, and fate had doomed us from the start. She was promised to someone else. I had her secret smiles.

When I stumbled into a Mafia-run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Conor O’Callahan was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Hades, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. You could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition: marry him or lose my life.

Dieses Buch enthält Die Regeln des Königs, Die Herausforderung des Königs und Die Regeln seiner Königin. Es erzählt die komplette Geschichte von Mercedes De La Rosa und Judge Montgomery.

Seit der ersten Nacht, die wir miteinander verbrachten, wusste ich, dass ich mit dem Feuer spielte. Jetzt muss ich mich den Konsequenzen stellen. Ich habe meinen besten Freund verraten. Einen Mann, der für mich mehr ein Bruder war als mein eigenes Blut.

Ich bin ein Sovereign Son. Ein König innerhalb der Society. Mit nur einem Blick zwinge ich Männer in die Knie. Sie aber widersetzt sich mir und verhöhnt mich mit ihrer Rebellion. Doch es gibt Regeln, an die wir uns zu halten haben.

Dieses Set beinhaltet Requiem der Seele, Wiedergutmachung der Sünden und Wiederbelebung des Herzens und ist die komplette Geschichte von Ivy und Santiago.

Ich lebe in einer Welt, in der Verschwiegenheit regiert. In der Society, einer Gesellschaft, die auf Macht, Reichtum und alteingesessenen Dynastien beruht. Wo Männer Könige sind und Frauen Spielfiguren. Solange ich denken kann, träume ich davon, den Fesseln der Erwartungen an mich zu entkommen. Aber es wird nie mehr als ein Traum sein. Nach einem fatalen Fehler wurden diese Fesseln zu einem Käfig.

Santiago hat endlich, was er will. Sein Baby wächst in mir heran. Ich habe ihr Schicksal umgeschrieben und sie für immer an mich gebunden. Die Dinge ändern sich für uns. Ich sehe hinter das Monster, das er der Welt zeigt. Ich sehe die Narben, die er unter den Tattoos versteckt.

Mein Mann hasst mich. Aber er ist gleichzeitig der einzige Mann, der mich retten kann. Entführt von einem Fremden, ist Santiago meine einzige Hoffnung. Nur weiß ich nicht, ob er tot ist oder noch lebt. Und so grausam er auch sein kann, der Gedanke, dass er tot sein könnte, ist unerträglich.
