Caleb Shepherd is one of the most powerful men in the city and also the most ruthless. He has everything hell ever need or so he thought. When he meets a ray of sunshine who begins lighting up the darkest places in his life, he has no idea her world is falling down all around her.

She needs saving, but he’s no prince. Then again, he wasnt a lot of things before she came along. Now Caleb is finding he’ll be and do whatever he must so that when the clock strikes midnight, Gabriella will forever be all his.

One look spurred my obsession. She’s too innocent. I should walk away But I won’t.

Libby

My sister got out. I didn’t. My leg made sure of that. I’m no good to anyone—at least that’s what my father always told me. Until I met Ace. Until he saved me from my old life. He’s a hero, not just to me. To everyone. I keep thinking there’s no way he really wants me, that I’m damaged goods. But with each gentle touch, each heated look, he’s starting to convince me that maybe I’m more than I’ve been led to believe.

Ace

I started a new life, content to run a business instead of doing secret ops all over the world. At least I *was* content until I saw a blue-eyed stunner who was gone before I could so much as blink. Ever since, she’s all I’ve thought about. When I find out just who she is, I know I have to have her. My new life won’t start until she’s in it.

Ill burn the world to keep her.

He retired from being a hero. Until an angel showed up needing one.

Winter

My whole life has been a secret. Ive been hidden away from the rest of the world. If that wasnt bad enough, now Ive been promised to a terrible man. I have to find a way out for myself and my sister. Even if it means dying, I have to try. The world needs to know about this place, about what goes on here, and maybe, just maybe, that will be enough to save us.

Garrett

I enjoy my quiet recluse life. No more missions, no more working tirelessly for the greater good. That was until she showed up on my doorstep in the middle of a snowstorm. An angel, one I couldve never expected. Shes everything Im not, a treasure to be protected. If anyone comes for her, theyll have to go through me, and I wont leave any survivors.

Because in the end she will be mine.

One look at her was all it took. Now Ill stop at nothing to keep her, even if it means burning the rest of this city to the ground.

Angel

My senator father might appear perfect to the rest of the world, but I know hes a terrible man. I just had no idea my twin brother was worse. When a scarred, huge man came storming into my house and claiming I was in danger, I was sure he was one of my fathers men sent to protect me. I never would have imagined I was being kidnapped by a man planning to keep me for his own.

Church

The world is full of cold and cruel people, and they say Im the cruelest of them all. It wasnt by chance that I earned my nickname. Its well known that Im the last stop for the most vile men before I send them to meet their maker. Most beg and plead, but I dont do emotions. Their confessions fall on deaf ears.

Until her.

The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I had to have her. An angel who is the complete opposite of me. There was nothing cold about her. She is sweetness and sunshine, and I want her all for myself. Except theres one problem; Im not the only one who does.

Paisley Woods

I return home from college to a nightmare, discovering my parents plan to marry me off. Rather than being forced into a loveless marriage, I grab my cat and embark on an adventurous journey to the wild west. I may be trying to find myself, but what I find instead is the handsome Jack Graysen. Or rather, he finds me.

Jackson Graysen

Finding people is what I do. I'm the best in the business at bagging and tagging runaways, missing moguls, and runaway reprobates of the rich and famous. The heiress, Paisley Woods, should be no different. At least that was my initial motive–but then I saw her. Now I don't intend to return her. She's mine for the taking, and mine for the keeping. The only problem is, she has no idea who I really am or that her parents hired me to find her. When she discovers the truth, I'll use every tool in my arsenal to keep her by my side, and I have no problems playing dirty.

Luka Woods

I'm a creature of concrete and metal. Skyscrapers and glass. Killer angles and sharp edges. I like it that way, especially given my penchant for going up against some of the worst of the worst as part of my government hacking work. I've never wanted soft, not until I met June. She's my opposite, everything I've avoided, everything I thought I didn't want. I was so, so wrong.

Her smart mouth and sweet demeanor, the way she gets under my skin and sends heat swirling through my veins—she's more than I deserve, but I'm a man who always gets what I want. When she runs from me, I'll chase her down and make her mine. Forever.

Mona O'Haire

I dont want to get married, but its not like anyone has asked my opinion on it. Im just an ornament for a powerful mob boss, nothing more. But I grab one night of freedom before my doom, and that night is the best of my life. Its where I meet him. And our first meeting is one Ill never forget.

Matteo Cattaneo

A woman walks into a barthats the start of a joke for some; it was the start of a new life for me. This woman is mine. I know it in my bones, and I show her just how serious I am about my claim. But then she disappears. I scour the city to find her, only to happen upon her at her engagement party. Too bad for her would-be groom, she belongs to me now and forever.

Nikolai Cattaneo

Riley hates me. She has plenty of reasons. But that doesn't stop me from following her every move. She's part of my family now, an addition I never saw coming. Having her this close is more than I can stand. I don't care if she hates me, I want her, and I'll do whatever it takes to get her.

Riley O'Haire

Nikolai hates me. He thinks I snitched on him. Of course he's wrong, but I'm not going to waste my time telling him the truth. Not when he stalks my steps and even enrolls in my school to keep an eye on me. It doesn't matter that I'm attracted to him, that I find myself thinking about him far too much. We can't be anything to each other, not with our past, not even if I want it.
