My life had been perfect, and then I was stripped away from my family. I had everything: loving parents, a huge biker family (even though they did fight like cat and dogs a lot), and the love from every member of one of the most notorious clubs in United States history. The Reapers' blood flew through every vein in my body. It took my years to find out why - or better who - had stripped me of my life, never knowing who the man was that'd taken everything from me.

I've been named LA's sexiest and most eligible bachelor. I'm filthy rich, live in a house on the beach, drive a fast sports car, and I do a job I love. My hobbies include partying and beautiful women. A lot of beautiful women. They adore me because I'm charming and fun, until I walk away, leaving them crying on the floor and begging me to stay. I can have any woman I want with the snap of my fingers, except for one - an incredibly beautiful woman named Kinsley Davis. She isn't affected by me in the least. In fact, she wants nothing to do with me, and I can't figure out why.

So when her sister drops off her newborn baby and then disappears, Bailey is ready and willing to confront anyone, including a Navy SEAL sniper, and make him do his duty. Alexei "Camel" Kamarov is not the sort of man to carelessly father a kid, but as the oldest of six, he does know a thing or two about babies.

Accused of using the Hostile Operations Team to assassinate a foreign official, he’s gone from being a respected military black-ops commander to a fugitive in the space of an hour. On the run, hunted, and stripped of his honor, Mendez has nowhere to go - and few people he can trust. Russian spy Ekaterina "Kat" Kasharin is a carbon copy of the woman Mendez once loved. Twenty-one years ago, Valentina vanished from his life. Kat claims to be her twin - but Kat’s lying.

No one understands my obsession with my best friend's bodyguard. They don't see the sweet man inside the stoic exterior. The one who buys me novels and thinks I don't know he follows me home. He's fighting feelings for me despite what he calls "professional boundaries." When he volunteers to marry me so I can access my trust fund, I'm more convinced than ever. But it takes more than a Vegas wedding to make a marriage. And that prenup I never thought we'd need? It may be the one thing to save us.

Jayce Thornton had it all—fame, fortune, and a promising NHL career—until a devastating injury ended everything. Now he's left with nothing but a deep dive into cheap whiskey bottles. When Rosie, his best friend's little sister, shows up begging for his help, he should say no. Instead, he helps her cover up a crime, getting his hands dirty right along with hers.

Sky Williams has a neighbor from hell. Every day, Becket finds a new way to torture her. Sometimes it involves cutting trees on her property line; other days—most days—it includes using an annoying nickname he knows she hates. It’s safe to say she can’t stand the guy. So why then, when her parents persistently try to set her up with one of their church friends, does she find herself blurting out that she’s dating Becket?

Navy SEAL Dane "Viking" Erikson has sworn off women - or at least he's sworn off one woman: DEA Agent Ivy McGill. His ex-wife. But when they're forced to work together on a critical military mission, Dane can't help but notice how the one woman he shouldn't want is the only one he can't stop thinking about. Ivy knows what it's like to fall for a SEAL's hard muscles and killer smile - and she knows what it's like when everything falls apart. So why is she naked against a wall and begging Dane for more?

I am that gash in her soul. Once I loved her, really loved her. And she loved me, and it was so f--king beautiful. Once. That pendulum swings to and fro. We're here, and then we're - no. How can that rare beauty be rendered irrelevant, intangible, when I still feel so damn much? Does all that energy, that glory, that significance simply dissolve? Turn to smoke? To nothing? It can't. It just can't. Are the moments that shape us absolutely random? Is time not fluid? I made promises to them, to her.

Josiah "Liner" Paldecki knew the moment he laid eyes on her that there was something different about her. Something special. Something so unique that it practically poleaxed him the moment that their eyes met. Except, the next time he saw her, it was like she was a different woman altogether. There was a blankness to her eyes that concerned him. An air of menace about her that honestly scared him to death. He's more than man enough to admit it. At first, Liner thinks it's because she's bipolar, or possibly psychopathic. Then he realizes the truth.

I am who I am for a reason. The monster the world sees when they look at me was born 20 years ago to protect my brothers from the same fate I endured on my 16th birthday. After that night, I locked myself away until the night I met Sloane. She was both forbidden and everything I’ve ever wanted all wrapped into one, but I wasn’t the only one who loved her. In the end, she made her choice, and it wasn’t me—or so I thought.

When our fate changed and our paths crossed again, nothing prepared me for the punch to the heart when I saw him...or his anger and bitterness. He was no longer the boy I once knew but a hardened Olympic swimmer with life goals that no longer aligned with mine. All because I lied. But sometimes, hiding the truth was necessary, especially when it freed someone you loved to reach their aspirations and dreams. It’s said that time heals all wounds, but I found was that it can also create an enemy.

Too perfect for the likes of Black Ops soldier Sam McKnight - no matter how badly he wants to corrupt her. Georgie has wanted Sam for as long as she can remember. But all he’s ever done is push her away. Now that someone wants her dead, he’ll fight to save her - and he won’t give in to the need that haunts his every waking moment. His life far is too dangerous. Too unpredictable. She plans to convince him he’s wrong.

My world is filled with everything most men desire - money, women, fame. The fans are great, but I’m an introvert, and the punishing pace of my career saps my creativity. I crave a life outside the spotlight, where I can create music in peace. But that freedom comes with a price. When I met Honoré, I had no idea she was a princess. And now I’m forced to marry her in order to prevent an international incident. In exchange, I win my freedom. And even though I hate the terms, I’m committed to the process. The fact that I’m incredibly hot for my new bride is simply a bonus.
