I was living my best life with a career, friends, family, and love. Or so I’d thought.
After the ultimate act of betrayal, I find myself in the captivity of a dangerous mobster.
Zarren is unlike any other man I’ve ever known and this newfound world terrifies me.
And that world is one that hits even closer to home when I learn of my true lineage.
I’m not just a Sicilian Mafia Princess, but also betrothed to a Bratva Prince I’ve never met.
Everything I’ve ever known or loved is gone and I’m at the mercy of a captor who intrigues me.
And the attraction between us is hard to ignore, especially after he nearly gives his life for mine.
When we finally give in to the passion between us, it isn’t long before I fall for his raw brutality.
Only time’s running out for us because I’ve already been promised to another equally dangerous man.
𝗭𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻
The bastard son of a sexual predator, I have always had the deck stacked against me.
It’s the reason I had to fight harder to earn my rightful place in the Brannington Empire.
Finally, I’ve forged a path for myself earning the respect of those that came before me.
And I’m tasked with furthering the organization’s power and influence by initiating a trade..
The mission is simple. Retrieve the Cosa Nostra princess and hold her for the Bratva Prince.
Only, she manages to re-ignite a long forgotten fire inside of me and I can’t resist the burn.
Aurora cannot either so when passion erupts between us, the entire mission begins to change.
I no longer want to give her up, wanting instead to keep her beside me… underneath me…
But duty comes before love and I’m forced to make a final wager for the heart I want to claim.












Her nephew vanished. His bear will hunt.
When Becca Weitz’s teenage ward disappears, she turns to the one man who terrifies her—Carl Carman, the brooding camp director with more secrets than answers.
Carl knows what happened. Theo shifted into a grizzly for the first time, triggering a deadly hunt. Mad scientists want the boy for their experiments, and as alpha of the Michigan bear clan, Carl will destroy anyone who threatens his people.
Protecting Theo means bringing Becca into his dangerous world. But the single mom baker is stronger than Carl expected—and the connection blazing between them could be their greatest weapon or their fatal weakness.
She’s human. He’s alpha. Their enemies want them both dead.

Kathy Lyons lives in the wild, adventurous mind of USA TODAY bestselling author Jade Lee. A lover of all things fantastical, Kathy spent much of her childhood in Narnia, Middle Earth, Amber, and Earthsea, just to name a few. “There is nothing I adore more than to turn around on an ordinary day and experience something magical. It happens all the time in real life and in my books.” Her love of comedy came later as she began to see the ridiculousness in life.
Winner of several industry awards including the Prism—Best of the Best, Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice, and Fresh Fiction’s Steamiest Read, Kathy and her other pennames have published over 80 romance novels and sold over a million copies.
Her hobbies include racquetball, rollerblading, and tv/movie watching with her husband. She’s a big fan of the Big Bang Theory (even though it’s over) and her favorite movie is The Avengers because she loves everything created by Joss Whedon. And she’d love to share all things geek with you in person at any of her many appearances. She’s usually found at the loudest table in the coffee shop or next to the dessert bar.





When Ann D. Lang isn’t writing, she can be found with her family and her cats — who treat everyone in the house as their personal servants and are entirely unbothered by deadlines. A lifelong lover of paranormal romance in all its forms, from vampire courts and fae kingdoms to witch covens and wolf pack politics, she has spent years falling in love with other people’s worlds — and one day simply decided to open the doors to a world of her own.
My best friend’s brother will never love me back, but when I stumble into danger, he seems determined to protect me, whatever the risk.
The last thing I expect when I go hiking in the forest near Destiny Falls is to end up bloody, battered, and left for dead.
When the subject of my endless pining–handsome Dr. Max Braddock–insists on caring for me, I wonder if my luck is changing, but it isn’t long before the people behind my attack realize I’m still alive.
I can’t afford to be distracted by Max’s soft smiles and gentle touch. Not when someone is hunting me. If we don’t find out who they are and what they want, our blossoming relationship–and our lives–might end all too soon.
If you loved the charm of Virgin River and the intrigue of Ginny & Georgia, then you might enjoy NO ONE BUT YOU.
