My mother trained me to be numb. To keep my volatile emotions carefully locked away. But when my drug-addicted stepfather decides to clear his debt by offering my sister to the Ruthless Mafia Men that run our city, I have no choice but to react. Keeping her safe is the only thing I've ever been good at. And, unlike her, I've already been scarred by the cruelties of our world. So I did the only thing I could do, the only thing that would ensure that they'd never go looking for her. I offered myself to big bad wolves instead.

What does a young woman do when she is expected to have sex with her stepfather? Does she fight the lust that burns within her or succumb to it? Does she cross a line that she can never go back on, and give up every shred of honor she has? The lines of decency and societal norms are blurred in this book bundle of two collections of familial erotica, aimed at men in general, which provides the sort of wicked and disgraceful behavior that shocks but also excites in equal measure.

I built my empire on control. My fists in the ring. My brothers at my back. And my rules that keep the vultures from circling. Then, Violet Reeves demands I return the money her father handed over after losing a bet. Trouble is, I’m not running a charity, so I tell her no... And gain an enemy in the process. All it takes is one exception and my business fails. However, the last thing I expect is to see Violet participate in an underground tournament in hopes of earning back her money. And the more she inserts herself into my world, the more I want to keep her here.

In the valley of heartbreak, love still blooms. Kelly Reid has always known how to keep her heart guarded and her life under control: medical school, residency on the horizon, every detail carefully planned. But when grief shatters her world and family wounds cut deeper than she imagined, the...

Fellow at Ethic & Public Policy Center, scholar at The Institute for Human Ecology at CUA and the nationally best-selling author of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress argues that fifty years of radical feminism have had the opposite of the intended effect and have granted primacy of place to the traditionally male sphere of life, while simultaneously devaluing the typical attributes, virtues, and strengths of women.

She wasn't sleeping. She was waiting. For one hundred years, Princess Aurora has been frozen in a tower—paralyzed by a curse, but never unconscious. She's felt every touch. Remembered every violation. Counted every man who used her body and left her trapped. Forty-six have tried to break her curse. Forty-six have failed. Sir Alistair is the forty-seventh. Desperate to succeed where others couldn't—his life depends on it—he's the first to realize the truth: the curse doesn't respond to kisses or noble intentions. It responds to her desire. To break her free, he'll have to make her want him.

I never expected to survive. To be protected. Wanted. Or seen. But somehow, Dallas, Niko, and Rome have managed to do all three. They were always supposed to be temporary. A job. Just the three men hired to pull me out of hell. But ever since they asked me to move in with them, they've become something more. But I'm not healed. Not whole. And I'm not even being honest with them. They have no clue the past I've tried so hard to outrun is creeping in around the edges. And when they find out I've been lying to them... It could destroy everything.

The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they'd existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don't go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell.

The Reapers were always supposed to be the villains in my story. They were the four ruthless brothers who ruled our city with an obscene amount of cash and more blood on their hands than the most vicious killers. When I first showed up on their doorstep, I was a toy. A shiny new object for the big bad wolves in designer suits to play with. They could use and abuse me as much as they wanted, and I knew no one would step in to stop them. I was nothing to them. That is, until I became everything.

Ashira, a belle from the suburbs, is the wealthy acting CEO of her father’s booming building firm. That's when she’s not the dancer on the Gram and TikTok, dating the latest Black Hollywood shooting star. To her, Jas, a construction laborer, is a walking conundrum. He’s fruitlessly ambitious yet steadfast in his spiritual convictions. He’s enigmatic, well-read, regimented, and poor. Oh, and a felon. An incredibly disarming parolee who wants no connection to her. Until he does.

She’s determined to escape the demons of the past. Serenity Woods is running away from the box she was trapped in. She grew up in a home of silent disdain if she was lucky and vocal hate if she was not. Her desire to be loved and accepted seems to be her downfall, as she falls into a relationship that steals her power. When she wakes up and decides to take it back, her controlling ex fights to keep her. While attempting to put her life together, Serenity stumbles into a world she never imagined, full of vampires, shifters, and possibilities. What should be terrifying instead is fascinating.

When finding your mate is a matter of life or almost certain death, Harmony Harper is drawn into a world of romance and danger. Secrets of shifters bubble beneath the surface of packed nightclubs, suspicious arrangements, and the world as humans know it. From foster homes to heartache, Harmony has not had an easy life. Complicating matters further is the shocking revelation that she not only has one mate but three.

The "construction laborer" is really a wealthy felon with too many inexplicable circumstances to fathom for her narrow worldview. Will Jas share more of his complexities? Will Ashira be able to absorb them with understanding, leaving the judgment behind? Two souls, still galaxies apart, bound by love. The unanticipated UFO has collided with her world like a ferocious asteroid.

Two months at Graves Academy, and my life is a mess. The people I thought I could trust are monsters, and those I thought were monsters, well... I was right. Even when I do my best to distance myself from these dangerous men, the push and pull of the stars keeps us tied together. There's no reason an incubus, a vampire, or Zodiac Shifters should have any interest in a human. Only, on the full moon of Pisces and the full moon of Aries, I might have to confront the fact that my incubus professor, my vampire classmate, and my mysterious coworker aren't the ones who have been lying to me.

Ojasvi "Sin" Sinclair. Fast-forwarding three years after it was finally revealed, what's in a name? Ashira now knows the man she once thought of as a felon laborer is far more than the task she'd bargained for. Yes, he's a convicted felon who works in home-building. He's also convicted in his spiritual walk, a savvy entrepreneur, laboriously supportive, a tad insane, and has possibly run out of patience for her. He's also the father of her three-year-old child.
