The day Elijah took me, he vowed to tame me. I tried to fight him. Tried to survive without losing my heart. But in the end, he did what he said he’d do… tame me.

He claimed me so unapologetically, and I surrendered willingly. Together we found our place within the darkness. We succumbed to wicked desires and tainted intentions.

And with every kiss, every touch, I allowed myself to fall deeper. Drowning within the seduction of a killer’s obsession.

I was reckless. Blinded by the promises of a man who wanted nothing but me. I should have known better. Guarded my heart more fiercely. After all—nothing good can come from falling for the villain.

Putting one foot in front of the other, I took a step that brought our bodies a breath apart, my neck craned back so I could look him in the eye. “Maybe I want affirmation that the man I share a bed with sees me as more than just a debt. Maybe I want to know that the man I allow to fuck me every goddamn night isn’t just using me as a pastime while we’re stuck on this yacht.”

The expression on his face turned to stone, and as he moved forward, I had no choice but to step back. “You allow me to fuck you?”

“You know what I—”

“Is that what you’ve been doing every time I slipped my cock into your cunt? You allowed me to fuck you?”

My heart started to beat incredibly fast. “That’s not what I meant.”

“You spread those thighs of yours, your pussy dripping while you pant for me to fuck you—yet now you say you allow me to be inside you?”

“Elijah—”

“There’s a difference between allowing something and wanting it, Charlotte.” My back hit the wall, and he cocooned me. “A huge motherfucking difference.”

“I know that.”

“No. I don’t think you do.” He leaned his head to the side as he dragged a finger down my cheek, his predator gaze studying me as if he couldn’t decide where to start tearing me apart. “Should I show you? Teach you the difference?”

“I didn’t mean it like that, and you know it.”

His fingers bit into my jaw as he forced my head to the side, causing me to flinch as he leaned in, lips touching my ear. “I think I should show you the difference by fucking you as my captive rather than my guest.”

“Elijah—” His arms roped around my waist and lifted me over his shoulder. “Elijah, what are you doing?”

“Exactly what I said. I’m going to show you how a psychopath fucks his captive.”

He carried me into my room, slamming the door closed behind us with his foot.

“Elijah, don’t.”

“Now would be a good time for you to close that mouth of yours.” He dropped me on the bed, but before I had a chance to move, his fingers tore through his shirt, buttons bouncing on the floor around us. “Unless you want to taste my cock on your tongue.”

The other half of the practice now belongs to the beautiful Sindy Carruthers, his closest friend’s twin sister. Sindy knows Ryan will never stay in Bunya Junction and become her business partner, and that’s a good thing. Otherwise she might just lose her heart to him.

The second I laid eyes on Aubrey Cash, I knew she was hiding something.

The blond haired, blue eyed beauty wasn’t who she said she was.

I couldn’t force myself to turn her away…

So I hired her.

As the club’s hacker, it was my job to uncover secrets—secrets like hers.

It was the only way I could make sure my brothers were safe.

But with each day that passed, I became more and more distracted by my need to have her.

It soon became her that I wanted to protect….her that I wanted to claim as mine.

She claimed me instead

Excerpt

Once six months ago wasn’t enough for me. I wasn’t sure it would ever be enough. So he’d insulted me. Did that mean I couldn’t use his dick? No, it didn’t. And I wanted to use his dick badly His gaze was a physical caress on my body, raising goosebumps in its wake and making me yearn for his touch Watching him was an erotic dance that I couldn’t get enough of. Did he have a voodoo dick or something? What was this weird sorcery he was playing on my body? I was wet, embarrassingly so. And I’d just had the most erotic dream of my life about the guy that I’d rejected the night before. There were only so many dick pics a girl could handle, and I wasn’t holding my breath on Prince Charming. I needed to move on, I knew that. But it was so hard when my dating life had now been relegated to the Myxr app, where I had to wade through the fuck boys and douchebags to find my Prince Charming. Add in the dick pics and I was rolling in the trifecta of terrible guys. Who needed a man when you had a slightly overweight ginger cat that would suffocate you at night and purr while doing it? “What the fuck?” Derek asked, crossing his arms. I glanced around and hissed, “Sit your ass down.” He glared at me before climbing up and settling in next to me. I scooted away from him some, wanting a little distance between us just in case he got a wild hair to punch me. Distance was key. Derek was an intimidating guy. He was tall and built. He also had a mean fastball, and I was certain that translated into other areas. But I didn’t think Derek would punch me. He wouldn’t risk injuring himself because of his contract. Based on the scowl marring Derek’s face, I didn’t want to bank on there being no bodily harm just yet. “What are you up to?” Derek growled. I shrugged and dropped his gaze. “Nothing.” Note to self: Derek was territorial about his sister, not just his wife. Check. “Please. Based on what just happened on that field, you’re up to something and I want to know what it is.” “Why does it matter to you?” I asked as I looked back at him. “She’s my sister.” That wasn’t new information by any means. I knew that, as did the entire team. You’d have to be living under a rock not to know that. “And?” I finally asked. “I know that, but I was complimenting her on her playing. If I’d known it would bother her that much, I wouldn’t have said anything.” If I had to build a perfect woman, it would be Charlotte Nichols. Hands down. No contest. She was who I’d create. I was posing for a nude calendar that I knew the old women in the retirement community were going to buy and tease me about for years to come, and I was essentially lying to the woman I wanted to be with. I was in trouble when it came to King. There was just one problem. I didn’t date athletes, I didn’t like their egos. And King had an ego the size of the state.

It’s been six years since I escaped the horror I called life.

I was raised in a cult that had forced me to marry a sadistic and evil man. It was absolute hell, but I was finally given a second chance.

I’ve had time to heal and finally find myself, but the last thing I ever wanted or expected was to fall in love. I figured it wasn’t in the cards for me and you can’t miss something you’ve never had or experienced.

But the second I met Konrad, he owned my heart.

It was as if I learned to breathe for the very first time. He came into my life, pushed my barriers, and made it known that I was his. With him, I found my home, my everything.

Until my ex-husband decided that he wanted me back.

Hers to Crave by Avery Samson releases on July 24th! https://geni.us/HersToCrave Available on All Platforms

The text just said to do something crazy. I don’t think that included having sex with a complete stranger only half an hour after meeting him. I am a complete idiot! Not only did I have sex with a random guy, he wasn’t a stranger. He’s a world renowned soccer player that I should have recognized the instant I saw him. The problem is, he’s amazing. He’s sexy, athletic, funny and that accent. Holy cow! I should leave him alone, but how can I not crave him with every bone of my being? Claire Lloyd is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. I don’t believe in love at first sight. Well, I didn’t until I saw Claire walking across campus. I really should be ashamed of what I did. I introduced myself as Alex, not the famous Xander Ross she might have recognized. I thought maybe if I had her once, I’d be able to let her go. But it’s Claire. No man in his right mind could let her go, now I just have to convince her we’re worth the effort. https://amzn.to/3vVpVff Check out the whole series now!

For so long, football was my life, but in one moment, it was ripped away from me forever. Forced down another path, I opened one of the hottest nightclubs in Miami.

The Takedown became my new playing field. Women threw themselves at me, and I happily caught them, tossing them away as quickly as I could, sated and with a smile on their faces.

Until the night I caught Dixie Sinclair falling off her barstool.

I should have walked away.

She was precisely the type of woman I had avoided my whole life. She was stuck up, judgmental as hell, and thought she was too good for everyone. Everything I typically wanted nothing to do with.

One look into her blue eyes had me questioning my assumptions about her. Dixie was a puzzle that needed to be solved, and I was willing to forget years of self-preservation to help her piece herself back together.

I wanted her to be mine.

I needed her to be mine.

She was the game I was willing to play for the rest of my life.

** Tempting Talon is a standalone story inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Playboy Pilot. It’s published as part of the Cocky Hero Club world, a series of original works, written by various authors, and inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling series.

MEET THE AUTHOR

From a young age Renee Dyer had a love of writing, starting with a doodle pad at age four that soon turned into journals and later computer documents. Poetry became short stories and short stories became a novel.

Although she’s surrounded by males all day having three sons, a husband and a hyperactive chocolate lab, she still finds time to be all woman when she escapes into the fantasy of reading and writing romance. That is, until she needs male perspective and garners eye rolling from her husband.

She’s a true New Englander. You’ll find her screaming profanity at her TV while the Pats play and cuddling under blankets during the cold seasons (which is most of them) reading a good book. To her snow is not a reason to shut things down, only a reason to slow down and admire the beauty. Ask her questions and she’ll answer them. She’s an open book, pun fully intended.

TWO YEARS!

Two whole years since Amelie and I have gotten to see each other. Video chatting and writing to each other just isn’t doing it anymore. Not being able to hold her in my arms or look her in the eyes as I tell her how much I love her has been hard on both of us.

I have to admit that I am also worried that she will look at me differently when I get back home. I’m no longer that naive boy she fell in love with back in high school.

Will she still be able to see the good in me after all the hell I’ve been through?

Lance Corporal Grant Landry, USMC Scout Sniper, reporting for duty.

I went away to college and came home with a teaching degree. My students are the world to me. Each child is so unique in their own way. My little sister is autistic, which led me to decide that I want to work with special needs children.

Will he be able to handle my schedule?

Does he still love me after all this time?

My name is Amelie Walsh, and I can’t wait to wrap my arms around my man.

Author: Jeanne St. James

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: July 31, 2021

❝Another outstanding book by this exceptionally talented author! I really don’t think Jeanne St. James knows how to create a bad book!❞ – Goodreads Review

❝Unexpected twists, turns and revelations about the past along with hope for the future DAMC and Blood Fury run amuck in the latest Dirty Angels/Blood Fury crossover by Jeanne St. James.❞ – Goodreads Review

Is the risk worth the reward?

It was a time to gather with the allies to witness the wedding of a president and his ol’ lady in front of the three powerful clubs that rule western Pennsylvania.
The Bloody Fury MC.
The Dark Knights MC.
And of course, Crash’s own club, the Dirty Angels MC.
Three tight-knit brotherhoods celebrating a weekend blow-out full of women, partying and more.
For Crash, it may end up being so much more.
She’s the property of another club.
Property he can’t resist touching.
But taking what he wants means risking a crack in the alliance, one he doesn’t want to be responsible for.
Creating an issue he doesn’t need to cause for his MC. For his president.
But Crash has never been one to blindly follow the rules.
Especially when it comes to someone so tempting.
In the end, she ends up being a risk he can’t stop from taking.
To hell with the consequences.

Note: While this book can be read as a standalone, it’s a crossover between the Dirty Angels MC series and the Blood Fury MC series. It’s best read after the complete DAMC series and before Blood & Bones: Ozzy (Blood Fury MC, book 9). As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA.

I remember the first time I died. Lie lifeless in a puddle of my blood… And she was there trying to save me.

“Come on, Kian. Breathe for me.” I feel her palms pump against my chest and her tears pitter-patter against my lips. I swear I can taste the saltiness of them.

“It’s no use,” I remember whispering against her ear.

Then everything around me grew blurry and started fading away. Even me. Warmth streamed throughout my limbs, moving straight to my heart where it pumped rhythmically. My lungs expanded weakly, then my eyes shot open, and I began to breathe on my own.

The problem is the beautiful girl that saved my life that night thinks that I’m dead.

Now, I’m making it my business to let her know that I’m alive and well. That she’s the one who keeps my heart beating hard and strong in my chest.

She’s the reason I breathe…
