Unlike other convicts, I never deny my crime.

Did I really do it? Yes. Was it worth going to prison for? Yes. Do I have any regrets? Only that I didn’t do it sooner. If I could go back in time and do something different, what would it be? I would kill the son of a b*tch with my bare hands and sleep soundly on the same night.

Five years in prison, and now I’m back out into the world and ready to start again.

But first, I need to visit Mom’s grave.

A quick stop in my hometown, then off somewhere else, someplace where nobody knows who I am and what I’ve done.

Well, at least that was the plan before I laid eyes on Jenny. The sexy, stunning brunette who reminds me of my long-lost dreams of a beautiful life. She awakens something forgotten in me, something buried in the back of my mind.

But a piece of my past tries to mess with her and puts her in danger, and there’s not even a choice. I no longer care if it puts me back behind bars. I will do everything I can to keep her safe. Everything. Even if it means unleashing the beast I’ve learned to tame.

He touches a hair on her head, and all hell breaks loose.

Run, run, run, motherf*cker.

Drake

I’ve spent years scaling impossible heights, but nothing has prepared me for the challenge that is Ellie White. She’s mouthy, sharp, and absolutely beautiful—a distraction I can’t afford. But no matter how hard I try to ignore it, there’s this pull between us, like gravity. Every time she walks into my office, I’m sure she hates me, and maybe I deserve it. I’m her boss, after all. But deep down, I know she’s mine. The problem is, how do I convince her of that without pushing her away?

Ellie

Working for Drake Evans is like climbing a mountain without ropes—exhilarating but terrifying. He’s gorgeous, famous, and more frustrating than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s also my boss, so I have to keep my cool, even when all I want to do is throw caution to the wind and let him sweep me off my feet. But I’m not some lovestruck fool. I work hard to keep my distance and focus on my job. Then we arrive at the hotel for the climbing conference, and there’s only one bed in the room. Just one bed. How am I supposed to resist him now?

Cold, calculating, and ruthless—until he falls for her.

Salvatore

Getting trapped in a snowstorm is not how I thought my night would end.

Sitting in my car, listening to the radio, and cursing myself for losing control of my temper is just the icing on top of the cake. Maybe it’s what I deserve. Solitude and isolation, apart from my phone buzzing and the icy cold air around me as punishment.

But all my self-loathing seems to melt away in an instant when the beautiful blonde taps on my window.

I’m drawn to her in an instant. Lost in her deep blue eyes and the kindness she offers to give me shelter from the storm. Kindness that is rare in my world.

If I had a shred of goodness left in me, I shouldn’t allow her to come any closer. I should tell her to run for the hills. Stay as far away from me as possible.

But my moral compass has never truly pointed north, and when it comes to her, my resolve has the strength of a wet cardboard.

Silver will be the death of me, but I won’t have it any other way.

Silver

I can’t let him freeze out there alone.

Even if it flies in the face of the safety instructions my dad has given me.

But I’m lucky to find a man who’s charming, kind, and doesn’t give me any reason to be afraid of him.

The weight of the world might rest heavily on Salvatore Lione’s shoulders, but I can see the goodness in his heart beneath all that rough, cold exterior.

And sometimes, all it takes is a leap of faith for the best side of a person to shine through.

Valerie

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

I was born and raised a God-fearing woman, but Father Reed Murphy stoked the fires of hell inside me. I can tell he’s different. Not the same run-of-the-mill priest they keep sending to our town.

And I know what I’m doing is wrong. But why does it feel so right to sin at his side?

Reed

I’m out of my depth and out of my mind.

I play a priest in the parish while dangerous men hunt for my head. It’s not the way I saw my great escape going. But the second my gaze fell on Valerie Garett, she was mine … we just didn’t know it yet.

I’m on the run and locked in place. Stuck in a tiny town with a literal boatload of cash waiting to sail off into the sunset. But I can’t leave without her. She stole my heart with her perfect smile, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Good God, up above, I know I don’t do this often.

But tonight, I pray you’ll give me the strength to do what I must.

Romeo

This is supposed to be an easy job. Get in, get information, get out.

But how long is it going to take these bloodhounds wearing expensive suits and painted-on smiles to sniff out the truth?

I’m not one of them.

Don’t belong in their den of depravity.

The enemy.

Long enough to make it through the night? Probably not. If that’s the case, putting my life on the line better be worth it.

I’m not walking out of here without something to show for it. Not for the Don, either. Something for me.

It might be her. The radiant beauty across the room with golden locks cascading down her shoulders and an innocent smile that stretches out for miles.

Jess Mayfair. My last pillar of light in this nightmarish pit.

Who am I kidding? It is her. Jess Mayfair. The daughter of the man I’m spying on.

And soon, she’ll be mine.

Jess

I wouldn’t guess it by the way he walks, talks, and acts. Fearless, vicious, and intense.

He’s a monster of ridiculous, exquisite proportions.

It’s hard to believe he’s human. That his skin can break, and his veins pump the same red goo as the rest of us.

So, I won’t.

Romeo Valesca will never be a man to me.

He will forever be my Beast of Burden. Carrying the weight of this world on his gigantic shoulders and making it burn with a snap of his fingers.

And God help the way I ache for him.

in Lenas best-selling and acclaimed short story series is:

THE MONSTER by Lena Little

In Slavic mythology, there are creatures called Bies.

Horrifying demons whose name literally means “one who causes fear and terror.” They torment humans by possessing them and driving them to insanity.

As a child, my sisters would tell me the cat I adopted or the stray dog I fed were Bies.

That they would transform in my bedroom and slip inside my body to control my movements. That they would take me deep into the woods to hold me prisoner. That they would feed on my soul bit by bit until I was nothing but an empty husk of my former self.

At twenty-one years old, I still fear the dark, the shadows, and any demon lurking within. I sleep with the lights on, waking up with every creak of the floorboard or every scrape against my window.

All my life, I’ve been afraid of monsters.

And now I’m about to marry one.

Even my car knows that reuniting with my siblings for Christmas dinner is going to be packed with poking fun at my piss-poor love life. After driving my sentimental and temperamental hatchback for hours, it shakes, rattles, and rolls to a stop just outside my hometown of Heffens Bluff.

Having it towed to The Wright Spot Auto Body gives me the shock of my life as the bad boy of my teenage fantasies is all grown up, vowing to fix my problem. Yet, hes the solution to another one.

Leave it to Collin Leftie Wright to make it all right. My foster brother agrees to be my fake boyfriend—saving me, my car, and my sanity. The only thing I can offer in return is my special set of skills to help people overcome their fears. However, Collins not afraid of anything.

Fear doesnt hold him back or slow him down, even when he doles out punishment for breaking the real rules of our fake relationship. Foster brother or not, were a match made in Heffen.

A simple family dinner can lead to forever as Collin shows me the man hes become and proves my family wrong. Falling instantly for him feels way too right, making Christmas a whole lot better. For me, at least.

DANTE by Lena Little

Dante

Another day, another dollar. That’s how it was supposed to go.

Collecting the Don’s debts and making those who can’t pay up suffer in unimaginable ways. My idea of a good time, and I get to walk away richer for it.

But it’s like the old saying goes, ‘If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.’

I learn that lesson in the form of Natalie Pryce.

An angel who knocks the wind from my sails and leaves me a desperate mess.

I will stop at nothing to make her mine.

I don’t care how many bodies I have to leave lying in the dirt to prove it.

Natalie

The Demon of Delta County is in my house?

I’ve daydreamed about it a thousand times before, but never like this.

His gun fixed on my chest, while those devilish eyes that hold no mercy drink me in like I’m some kind of rare artwork.

Scared is an understatement, but something tells me Dante Vitorri isn’t going to hurt me.

But if not pain, what does he have in store for me? For us?

Hot For Her Ex-Con

Preview:

I’m supposed to be free.

Served my time, seen enough cement walls and steel doors to know how much I prefer the difference.

But being out? Being ‘free’? I dunno… not as easy as it looks when you’ve been locked out of it for so long.

I feel imprisoned by something else now. The need to find and kill the one who put me there.

Restore the balance. Payback.

Whatever I want to call it, Trap’s been front and center of my thinking for eight long years.

Nothing and no one can stop me from taking my revenge, or so I thought.

It’s a girl. Of course, it is. But one I’ve never even met, not yet, anyway.

It’s not until I’m almost on a bus out of town that it hits me.

Whoever was in the room I rented before me is the only thing that’s been keeping me glued together. Every second without her is like torture.

Killing Trap will have to wait. And I’ll just have to run the risk of him finding me first.

I need her room… Her things…

Her smell.

And f*ck anyone who’ll try to stop me.

One wild night and a surprise reunion sends a moody billionaire spinning into fatherhood in this heartwarming and steamy romance by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow.

Virgins and Villains~ because ~ Sometimes the villain gets the girl

Head of Security and Advisor to one of the most important men in the country. Those titles don’t look too bad on my business card.

But they become meaningless when I set up a deal with a petroleum magnate from the West. It’s supposed to be simple. She marries the boss’ son, her father signs some papers, and we all walk away with boatloads of cash and more power than anyone should have.

The plan goes to shit the second I set eyes on Melina Remington, my life spinning out in glorious chaos.

She’s bubbly. Innocent. Gorgeous. Perfect!

More importantly, she’s mine. I don’t give a flying f*ck if she’s supposed to marry someone else. The moment it becomes clear to both of us that she wants this as badly as I do, then I stake my claim.

And here’s the thing about me—I protect what I own, and I don’t share.

I only planned on picking up my niece from kindergarten, ready to treat her to ice cream and whatever new toy she's got her eye on, but when I set eyes on the new teacher, my world shifts on its axis.

As a well-connected billionaire and CEO of multiple companies, there's nothing I don't have … except love.

One look at Delaney Graeme, and I know she's mine.

But Delaney's never had anyone to take care of her before and convincing her she's worth everything I want to give her, and more, isn't easy.

Being powerful means I have enemies, and when one of them threatens to come after my girl, there's nothing I won't do to keep her safe.

I promised to take care of her, and I don't break my promises.

Especially not to her.

The Stranger is book # 12 in my highly popular Steamy Shorts series

She needs saving.

I, a total stranger, am more than ready to give it.

Maura Beck is way out of my league. How she even got into my orbit in the first place remains a mystery to me. I don't believe in serendipity, or fate, or that shit about people meant to be together.

But…How is this possible?

Someone like her with someone like me?

It's like a hundred threads of whatever has woven together to pull us toward each other. That's the only explanation I can think of. Part of me is equally baffled and amazed that she's mine, and the other?

I'm just happy to be here with her.

And when some grade-A asshole tries to come between us, I don't know whether to be impressed or amused that he thinks he can take me on—even with his asshole friends.

See, violence is not always the answer, and I've never had issues with my temper before, but the moment he shows an ounce of disrespect to Maura?

All bets are f*cking off.

Victor

The doctors in Alcatraz Mental Asylum fear me. They should.

I'm a stone-cold killer with more notches on my belt than I care to count. They've sent five psychologists in, and I've sent all five of ‘em out with tears in their eyes. What they fail to see is that this is my world, and they're just living in it.

Well, that's how I felt until Dr. Sedona Quinn walked into the office. She's a blonde bombshell with a sharp mind and quick tongue. She's going to be mine. I'll make it happen, no matter how long it takes.

Because they think I'm crazy. And they're right.

Crazy about Sedona Quinn.

Sedona

I should be the one locked up in here because I've lost my mind.

He's handsome, charming, and knows all the wrong things to say to drive me wild.

Victor Cullen is a patient. My patient.

I'm supposed to be treating his illness, not stroking his ego … and so much more.

But how can I decline him when he's sunk his hooks so damn deep?

And damn if I don't love it.

Thirteen years ago, Danika left me with nothing but a short note that said;

“I'm sorry. I have to leave. I love you but I need this.”

This was right after she said “yes” to my proposal.

Right after we promised to stay by each other's side no matter what.

Right after the whole town knew we were going to get married.

Then when I'm trapped in my cabin during a thunderstorm, I see her.

I wish I could just ignore her and move on, the way she so clearly has.

But I cannot.

She's like a fire in my blood I can't extinguish. An itch I can't scratch.

And I underestimate how she can royally f*ck up my head just by looking at me.

It's infuriating how, even after all these years, she still manages to slip under my defenses so easily.

One minute, I'm standing on solid ground, sure of everything.

Next, the ground completely shifts under me, tilting my world on its axis, rearranging my entire life. I was sure I could keep my distance from her and keep my hands to myself.

But the moment she shows me an ounce of vulnerability, all my resolve crumbles to dust.

Good f*cking riddance.

Harker

Penelope Carlisle. My love, my queen.

From the first time I see her golden hair and freckled face, she becomes my infatuation. No, my addiction. No, my obsession.

I need her in my life. Need her on my lap.

And no one's going to stop me from taking what I want. Not even her father, my business partner.

Nothing will get in the way of my worship.

Penelope

I've known him since I was a child, but he isn't the monster everyone makes him out to be.

Rough around the edges, violent, and so damn hot, Harker Jameson will be my undoing.

But there isn't anyone else in this world

worth coming undone for.

Daisy

I never thought I'd find myself the target of a hit put out by my ex, just like I never thought I'd find myself at the mercy of a tall, dark, sexy man named Dominic Falcone, begging for his protection. He's my ex-boyfriend's father, and the one man who's totally off limits—except Dominic makes me feel things that Carlo never did. Things that terrify me.

Dominic wants me to belong to him, and only him.

But can I escape the ghost of my past long enough to make a new future?

Dominic

The moment I set eyes on the gorgeous Daisy Linden, all I want to do is claim her.

Possess her. Make her mine.

She's my son's ex-girlfriend—forbidden and far too young. But the night she shows up at my restaurant, terrified and desperate, I know that nothing will stand in my way of protecting Daisy.

I'll kill any man who tries to hurt her. I'll give her more pleasure than she's ever imagined. I'll prove it.

I'll prove that she belongs with me and that she'll always be safe in my arms.

Death by a thousand paper cuts.

That's what it feels like whenever we're in the same room and I can only watch her from afar, not touch or kiss her the way I desperately want to.

I am not this kind of man. I am not someone who follows a young woman everywhere or lets myself into her place when she's at work.

Worse, I've been reduced to an underwear thief, and I don't know if I'm proud of the growing collection of lace panties I have at home.

A few months ago, the rich, powerful, and famous hired me to make sure stalkers didn't even make it past the gate. Funny how things have turned out.

I'm well aware that this obsession is not healthy. I'm toeing the line between sane and deranged, and I'm dangerously close to gravitating towards the latter.

While I force myself to be content just staying at a safe distance, the moment she locks her gaze with me, a terrifying but exciting thought begins to tickle my brain.

What if…? What if I actually have a shot with her? Just one. I just need one.

And I swear to God, I'll make sure she knows I'm grateful for the chance. I'll prove it to her over and over again.

Because falling for Katherine is like drowning in horrifying, unimaginable depths … just one I never want to surface from.

I'm only supposed to visit my daughter at college to watch her mid-semester dance performance, but instead, I find a girl who flips my entire world upside down.

When I watch her dance across the stage, I can't tear my eyes away. She's beautiful, incredible, and entrancing. In seconds, she has me wrapped around her slender fingers, and I don't even know her name yet.

Every instinct I never realized I had until now screams, ‘She's mine.'

And then my daughter introduces me to her.

Juliet, her best friend.

It's wrong, forbidden, absolutely off-limits to want my daughter's best friend the way I do, but I can't resist her.

Juliet belongs to me.

I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that nothing and no one comes between us.

Even if that means hiding our relationship from my daughter…for now.

After closing the bar and readying for a good night's sleep, someone knocks on my door. As someone who used to deal with threats left and right, I'm more than prepared to take on whoever it is on the other side.

But…

The last person I expect to find is a gorgeous redhead who's scared out of her wits.

So I take her in, offer her a job and a place to stay.

It's not something I normally do.

Then again, I've been pretty good at dealing with anything unexpected … just ask the son I never knew existed until a few years ago.

Cassie turns my life upside down, but she also makes things complicated.

Whatever happens, though, there's no way I'm letting her go.

The moment she stepped foot in my bar, she became mine. I'm too far gone for her that I'll sacrifice everything else … everything but her.

Any hope of spending my whole life alone disintegrates into dust the moment I see her.

A sudden ache of longing knots in my chest, possessiveness clawing in my gut.

Zara is undeniably beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.

But…

It's more than that.

Something draws me to her—unexplainable, intense, terrifying.

The desire flaring deep within me catches me off-guard, unmooring me in ways I didn't know possible. She's fire in my blood, fire I can't extinguish.

I cannot afford a distraction, though, not right now when my brothers and I are close to tracking down dear old Uncle—the monster who scarred us for life and harmed countless others.

See, Zara is innocence and sunshine, and I'm … I'm at the opposite extreme.

My life is an endless cycle of fury, revenge, and trauma. I want her to have no part in any of this. She deserves someone who doesn't have my past and my demons.

But whoever that non-existent guy is, I'm probably gonna end up smashing his skull.

After all, I am no stranger to violence.

He won't be the first life I take.

Lacey Scott is beautiful, sweet, kind, and … my brother's ex-fiancée.

When she and my brother broke up months ago after he left her for another woman, I couldn't help but want to comfort her and make sure she was okay.

But as the months go by, I want much more with her than just comfort and friendship.

The tension's been building for weeks, but when we're out for drinks with our friends and another guy tries to hit on her, I can't hold back anymore. Lacey is mine, not my brother's, not anyone else's.

And it's time for her to realize that, too.

Hunter

I make my living running into burning buildings. Saving lives is what I do. And for a lot of years, that's been enough. The rush I get from putting myself in danger is a high unlike anything else I've ever known, and the camaraderie I have with the men in my department has been enough to sustain me. Or so I thought.

After an accident at a fire lands me in the hospital, I find myself face to face with Harlow White, an exquisitely beautiful young woman I've known for a while. A gorgeous, young stunner I've fantasized about more than I should have over the years. It was always easy to keep myself in check because she was with my son, Micah.

Things have changed since then.

Harlow has shown me sides of myself I didn't know existed. She's shown me the empty spots in my heart and soul and that those things I thought sustained me are only masking those things missing from my life. I know if Micah finds out about Harlow and me, it's not going to go over well, and I feel like I'm caught in a position where I'm being forced to choose between my son and the woman I want with my entire heart and soul.

I run into burning buildings for a living. Fear has never been part of my vocabulary. But thinking about living my life without one of the two most important people in my world has me absolutely fucking terrified.

Harlow

I've been so focused on my schooling and my career, I left no room for love and a relationship. Part of that is because of a bad experience with my last boyfriend. It made me a little gun-shy about jumping into another relationship.

But when Hunter Weston was wheeled into the ER one night after being injured at a fire scene, all those teenage fantasies I had came rushing back into my head. My last relationship, terrible an experience as it was, was with Hunter's son. After we broke up, I secretly fantasized about his father. Fantasies that were entirely innocent and safe because I knew would never come to fruition.

Now, free of Micah and building my own life, things have changed. I have changed. And the more time I spend with Hunter, the more I see just how much I've been missing by shutting myself off from the possibility of love. By avoiding emotional entanglements. Hunter has unlocked doors inside of me that I thought I'd sealed shut forever, and the ease with which he's done it has left me breathless.

But I know that Hunter's relationship with his son is on fragile ground. I know the slightest blow could bring the entire house of cards crashing down around them. And the last thing I want is to be the wedge between father and son. As much as I want to be with Hunter, I don't know if I could live with myself if I kept Hunter from having a relationship with Micah.

In a battle between what I want and what I know is right, I feel like I'm going to lose no matter which way I turn.

Allie asks me to take her virginity, and I'm not sure if this is a dream or not.

After all, it had been my fantasy since I realized at fourteen that I was in love with my best friend.

Madly. Inexplicably. Hopelessly.

For a minute, I think she feels the same way too … until she laughingly explains she doesn't want another guy to find out she has zero experience. Jealousy pierces through me, along with white-hot anger at who this guy is—a guy I didn't even know existed.

But back to the matter at hand, I don't say no. Of course not. How can I fu*king say no?

It's what I've always wanted since I was a gangly, hormonal teen.

So I tell her I'll do it.

What I don't say is … I'll make her feel so damn good she won't want anyone else for her.

I won't just take her virginity. I'll brand her as mine.

For life.

When I take over teaching an English class, the last thing I expect is to have my stamina tested. Sheer willpower isnt enough to stop me from fantasizing about the most beautiful student to prop her perfect body on my desk.

Madisons blue eyes and bombshell frame test my patience and morality.

While falling for my high school student isnt in the lesson plan, she makes sure I earn a passing grade for passion. She brings out a side of me that makes me want to study her curves and learn our own language of love.

I just hope we dont get caught in the act.

A scandal is the last thing either of us needs, but we cant deny the immediate attraction between us. Pushing Madison to be a better student requires more than administrative motivation. She teaches me things about her while I teach her a few lessons about the world.

Whats happening between us cant be studied.

Madisons future hinges upon her graduation, and her future with me hinges on no one else discovering the love between us.

The passion crashing over us cant be stopped.

Ethan

Forty-five seems to be pretty f*cking old to be trying to find myself. And yet, that's exactly where I'm at. Tired of my life as a top cardiovascular surgeon in LA, I packed it all in and took over my former mentor's general practice in Emerson, Tennessee. Talk about a f*cking culture shock. I guess I've spent my time here looking for purpose. Looking for meaning.

And I found it when she walked into my life.

Elodie is half my age, but she makes me feel things I've never felt before. Things I never thought I could feel. What was supposed to be casual and fun has turned into something that's consuming me whole.

I want Elodie.

I want her with everything in me. But when her past comes calling, it intersects with mine in a way I never saw coming. It clashes with my own past in a way that threatens to destroy everything I've been trying to build with her.

Too bad because letting her go isn't an option.

Elodie

Getting a scholarship to go to school in LA was my ticket out. I fled Emerson, the small town in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains I grew up in, and never looked back. I've built a life for myself in LA and love life on the West Coast.

When my grandmother's heart attack pulls me back, I'm more than happy to flee Southern California to escape a borderline abusive relationship. I have to admit, for all the drawbacks of small-town living, being home again is kind of nice.

Coming off a horrible relationship, I was done with men.

But when I meet Ethan, he rocks me to my very core. He opens my eyes, my mind, and my heart in ways I never expected. And despite my vow to swear off relationships in light of my past, Ethan opens me up to the possibility of love again.

But when my past unexpectedly comes crashing down on my present and I learn that Ethan and I share the most shocking of connections, it turns my entire world upside down.

It threatens everything Ethan and I have been building together.

In light of this astonishing connection we share, how can I possibly be with Ethan?

How can he possibly be with me?

My father used to say that love is for the weak, the fools, and the pathetic, and I grew up stonewalling myself, making sure no one ever broke the barriers around me.

Until I see Olivia Lang.

Free-spirited, kind, and always armed with a smile, she foiled my plans from the first time I laid eyes on her. I've seen her photos, yes, but nothing prepares me for what she looks like in the flesh.

How warm and welcoming she is.

How untainted by the world.

How utterly captivating.

I'm supposed to come here and offer her a sweet deal, so our company can acquire her land and a few others and build a massive luxury resort on it.

But… Negotiating with her is the last thing I want to do.

Right now, the deep recess of the animalistic part of my brain screams one thing, and one thing only.

Make her mine.

As a sought-after soccer coach, I have a reputation for being strict, serious, and the best at whipping a team into shape.

On my first day working at Crestview College, the captain of the women's soccer team, Iris Reed, turns up late. I need to show the team that I won't put up with any slack, so I hold her back to run drills until she learns her lesson.

But Iris isn't just another player.

She's in a league of her own.

She gets under my skin, draws me in in a way nobody else ever has.

From that first day, it's clear to me.

She's not just a player I have to coach.

She's mine.

We can't stay away from each other, and she brings out a possessive side of me I didn't even know existed.

But will our relationship put my job and her dream of going pro when she graduates in danger?

Luke

There are a few things important to me—my bike, my motorcycle club, and the safety of my town.

Then I see Emma Lawson for the first time, touching my Harley, and she becomes all that matters.

I will keep her safe and show her my love. I will make her mine—body and soul. No matter what.

I want to touch her, taste her, and claim her.

God help any man who thinks of standing in my way.

Emma

Before Luke Morgan appeared, fear owned me. Terrifying memories lay in the darkness.

That is until an Iron Guardian pierces the night and banishes those terrors.

Theres a connection from the very first moment I see him, so powerful it shocks me, and as the motorcycle rumbles under me and the wind rushes through my hair, I cant deny that Im in trouble.

Will Luke, my Iron Guardian, be able to heal me and chase my stalker ex away at the same time?

And will we be able to find our happy ending, or will it all go down in flames?

My obsession with Heather Cain runs deep.

I bullied her when we were kids because that was the only way to make her notice me.

Unfortunately, it backfired and only made her hate me. That doesn't mean I don't take every opportunity to slip inside her orbit. Maybe annoy Heather as often as I can since I prefer that over her ignoring me.

So when she needs someone to stand in as her date and pretend boyfriend for her grandmother's birthday party,

I volunteer.

She loathes the idea, but left with no other choice unless she wants her twin sister and ex to make fun of her, Heather begrudgingly agrees. In the process, all those years of animosity and tension—mostly from her end—come to a head and morph into something just as intense.

Desire. Blinding lust. Primal needs.

I've known Heather all my life, but I should've figured out my crazy antics would get us nowhere. Because apparently, there's only one way to keep her quiet—kiss her like my life depends on it. And after this little charade ends, we're not going back to the way we were. No!

Once I've claimed her—mind, body, and soul—only death will keep us apart.

Or maybe not. Because I sure as hell will follow her anywhere, even in the afterlife.

Heather, baby, you're stuck with me.

Whether you like it or not.

Books #1　6

Splitting with a boyfriend can be difficult, traumatic and, well…. just plain, suck!

But when the boyfriend's dad is super-hot and willing to take more than a passing interest and lend more than a helping hand the split can become much more appealing.

This is a collection of the first six books in the highly successful and popular My Boyfriend's Dad series. The books in the series are standalone and can be read in any order.

The stories are positive and empowering but steamy and explicit presenting realistic characters in life-affirming situations.

All books in Lena Little's My Boyfriend's DAD series feature age-gap, younger woman-older man, ddlg-lite stories with no non or dubious consent, no cheating and each novella has two epilogues, plus a guaranteed HEA.

So-so popular. Try them today!

I've just served a year in prison for putting a man in the hospital after he tried to hurt a woman in one of my bars.

While I don't regret my choices in the slightest, I'm ready to get my life back.

But the trip back to the city I call home is long, and when a storm starts to roll in, I have no choice but to stop at a small town's BB.

I only expect a bed for the night, but instead, I find the most stunning girl I've ever seen.

Roxie works at the BB, but she dreams of leaving this town and throwing her reputation as the goody-two-shoes pastor's daughter to the wind.

One night with her isn't enough.

She's mine, and there's no way I'm leaving her here.

Her father has other plans for her, but I won't let a single person stand in our way.

Even if it means living up to my own reputation as the dangerous ex-con.

Alina:

My life was already a whirlwind when I got to Cape May, New Jersey. After my moms death, I had a hard time adjusting, but moving in with my father was going to be a fresh start for me.

It was all planned out … until he appeared.

Walking into the coffee shop where I'm sketching, Derrick is as hot as sin, and things I have never felt before erupt inside of me. The way he looks at me like I'm the only woman on Earth, makes me ready to give him anything.

From that day forward, I feel like eyes are always watching me, someone waiting just around the corner to make me theirs.

I know its him. Derrick. It should scare me to death, except … what if I want to belong to him?

Derrick:

I cant help myself. From the very beginning, I knew Alina was the one.

Shes gorgeous, with curves in all the right places, and a mouthwatering innocence that makes me want to claim her for myself.

Im not letting her go. Shes mine.

But Ive come to Cape May to get away from the world, and if she finds out who I really am, is there any way she can ever want me for the man I am, and not the numbers in my bank account?

Unable to let her go, I watch every step she takes, keeping tabs on her until the right moment I can make her mine. She just needs to trust me, and the chemistry between us will take care of the rest.

A man like me always gets what he wants, and this time, its her.

If someone told me that the only one who could break my writer's block was my student, I would've sought her a long time ago.

Grace.

Beautiful, sexy, smart, and sassy—all the things I never thought I wanted.

When she steps into the classroom on the first day of class, I feel the floor give way from underneath me.

This can't be real. She can't be real.

But she is, and when I realize that the sudden, intense feeling I have isn't one way, I throw caution to the wind, putting everything on the line—my job, her scholarship, our reputations.

The thing is, it's hard to give a fuck about myself anymore. As long as she's mine and she has everything she wants and needs, I'm good.

What can I say? I'd give my own life to make her happy.

Without her, nothing means anything to me.

Being a Mafia Don means I'm no stranger to being injured, but with tensions rising between us and the Italian Mafia running in the same city, I don't have time to bleed out from a stab wound.

Going to the hospital isn't an option, not when they'd ask a hundred questions I couldn't answer.

But taking a doctor from the hospital is an option.

Kidnapping is hardly the worst thing I've ever done, but with one look at my new doctor, I know I'll never let her go.

Despite the blood loss, Kacie Piper turns the blood in my veins to fire.

She is mine. And I protect what's mine no matter the cost.

I took her to stitch me up, but I never expected her to heal me in more ways than one. No matter what comes next, one thing's for sure…

Not even a bullet can keep me from my girl.

For the past fifteen years, I've learned 101 ways to take a man's life and, more than that, to survive someone else trying to take mine.

I was tortured at the hands of my enemies, beaten to within an inch of my life, and convinced death was at my doorstep.

But nothing could have prepared me for the fresh hell that awaited when I came home.

My new stepsister who drives me crazy.

I try to resist her because whatever hangs between us is wrong. Or at least seems like it. Yet the moment I get a taste of her, my resolve and initial reluctance vanish into thin air.

And when I find out she's in danger from my father's enemies?

The burst of fury and protectiveness thundering through me catches me off-guard. I have trained my whole life to kill men five times bigger and stronger than me.

I will end every single one of them before I let them touch a hair on her head.

Because Lila isn't just my stepsister anymore.

She's my woman, and like every alpha predator that ever existed, I will lay down my life to protect what's mine. Death awaits anyone who even breathes around her the wrong way.

I am an assassin, and the most important mission in my life isn't killing, but protecting my woman, my future wife, and the mother of my children.

Good luck trying to get through me.
