A hero I didnt need or want but fate had other things in mind.

I sought refuge in a small mountain town, hoping for a better life with my daughter. But with my finances suddenly cut off, I was forced to accept the help of a handsome stranger. Jagger Fox was part owner of the mountain resort where I hoped to stay. Tall and rugged with sensual chocolate kissed eyes, he refused to take no for an answer.

While I did my best to keep who I was a secret, a horrible snowstorm brought near tragedy and I was forced to revisit my former life as a doctor. Electricity crackled between us as we worked side by side. Soon after, I found myself embroiled in sinful passion. A dominating and dangerous man, his controlling ways were something I never knew I needed.

But I should have known running from my past wasnt an option. Neither was his. Yet even as our lives were placed in danger, my mountain man refused to let me go.

No one would come between us. If they dared try, I sensed they would face his hard, cold wrath.

Some sins are forbidden and unforgivable,

After witnessing a brutal crime, I called the only man capable of protecting me. Nico Marciano became my guardian as an infant after the savage murder of my father. Although I rarely saw him, he guided both my life and managed my trust fund.

Arriving from Italy only hours later, he insisted I leave my home to live with him. Thats when the lines became blurred. I quickly learned the handsome, dominating man with the piercing eyes was a ruthless Mafia Don. His reputation was as a heartless man, only I experienced something else altogether. Passion, our desire so intense, I soon became his possession.

As lines were crossed, he was determined to hunt and eliminate those intending me harm. Even then, one aspect became very clear.

I belonged to him.

On a dark, stormy night, a stranger fulfilled my wildest fantasies.

No names. No commitments.

I returned to my life as a a park ranger, never intending on seeing the gorgeous man again. But fate had other plans. With two murders in the mountains, I was forced to hire a tracker. The expert turned out to be Shephard Fox, part owner of a popular local resort, a dangerous man with a highly skilled military background. And the magnificent hunk whod awakened my senses.

Sparks flew once again, but this time out of distrust and annoyance. Yet our bodies betrayed us, our hunger erupting. With a killer on the loose, both our lives in danger, i was determined to shove my desire aside. But he was having none of it. Id met plenty of men insisting I belonged to them. This one was different.

The rugged mountain man with the body of a chiseled God decided I belonged to him.

Not just for now but forever.

Beware the temptation of darkness

Birthdays. I loathed them. Especially when my best friends present included a tarot card reading. Skeptical, when I was warned Id meet a dangerous wolf who would change my life, I laughed. Dating was the last thing on my mind.

However, the young woman was right. Jackson Wolf exuded danger and sensuality. Debonaire and aloof, his eyes penetrated my soul and ignited my desire. Against my better judgement, I agreed to one drink. Our conversation soulful, our passion explosive, his domination awakened the captured darkness from deep within. But it was just for one night.

As a medical examiner, Id faced the outcome of horrific crimes. But the victim I was asked to autopsy had injuries that defied logic. When he suddenly walked out of my examination room while transforming into a werewolf, I was shocked. In my attempt to understand, I was lured into a predators lair.

His lair　the man I couldnt stay away from.

With my life in jeopardy, he issued a warning. No one was allowed to claim what already belonged to him.

He came to my rescue, the sinfully gorgeous man whod been my fantasy. Now, he owns me.

Nikolay Kuzmin was my adoptive fathers half-brother, a man I hadnt seen in years. He was considered one of the most dangerous men in the New York Bratva while Id spent my life in Los Angeles. Now, I was moving closer to the powerful and chiseled man with eyes so blue they were mesmerizing. Determined to keep my distance, when I made one mistake, there was no one else to come to my rescue. Confined to his estate under his protection, he offered me a new job. Becoming nanny to his four-year-old son.

Soon, I learned the charming and handsome man had a darker side. As our cravings collided, we could no longer deny our carnal urges. With every touch, every rough kiss and strike of his belt, I learned to accept my unbridled desires.

But with every turn, my reckless misstep followed me, danger lurking in the shadows. Only then did I embrace his brutal, ruthless side.

I learned every unselfish deed came with consequences. Me. My body and my heart.

From the moment he jumped into a pool to rescue a woman, I couldnt help being both intrigued and annoyed by Gage Royal

He didn't ask me to become his bride, someone else did. It became an offer I couldn't refuse.

Down and out. Broke. Two cents to my name. That was my life. A waitress. A store clerk. A struggling actor. Three jobs and I still couldn't pay my bills or take care of my terminally ill mother. I prayed for an intervention. It came in the way of a multimillion dollar offer. All I had to do was to marry a man I didn't know. With no other choice, i agreed.

Little did I know my betrothed as the powerful and very dangerous prince of a ruthless mafia family out of Kansas City. Daniel Thorn was as seductive and handsome as he was deadly. My heart fluttered every time I looked into his piercing eyes. Although our marriage was a lie, it didn't stop the eruption or passion or his requirement I surrender to his every need. Even as I lay quivering under the weight of his chiseled body, sore and wet from the strike of his belt, I was fearful he'd learn the truth.

And he did.

Now, the merciless man was determined I would pay for my sins. With giving him my body, my should. And my heart.

She became my obsession, a light to my darkness. Soon, she would become my possession.

As the oldest brother of the powerful and ruthless Saint family, considered the most brutal crime syndicate in Chicago, I could have anything and everything I wanted. All with the snap of my fingers. Wealth beyond my means, I was also a merciless man, my methods of keeping our enemies in line savage. There was no humanity left inside of me, no guilt of any kind. One day, I'd burn in the fires of Hell.

Then I heard her play, the gothic and provocative strains of her cello soothing the beast deep inside. With a single look at her angelic face, she quickly became my obsession. Nothing and no one would keep me from taking what I wanted.

Now, my captive, I required her to play for me and me only, but even the melodic strains weren't enough. I needed all of her. When she made the mistake of trying to run, she quickly learned there was no escape. She fought me, refusing to give in, yet with every strike of my belt, every passionate and heated touch, my sweet angel learned to surrender.

There's no going back. I've decided to keep her. Forever.

A handsome stranger saved my life twice. My required penance? My silence and my full surrender.

The Big Apple. A city of wealth, extravagance, and danger. I found that out firsthand when I stumbled on a violent crime, an unknown stranger becoming my savior from certain death. But with all good deeds there are consequences, the assailant requiring me to remove a bullet from his shoulder. I was a veterinarian, not a doctor, but I was given no choice.

Soon, I learned my protector was the nefarious Underboss of a brutal Greek Crime Syndicate out of Philly. Stavros Diamondis was as alluring as he was dangerous, a chiseled man who reeked of passion. But when another monster almost ended my life, my savior also became my captor.

Caught up in a turf war, I quickly learned I'd become a pawn. But even though I loathed the Greek God, with every sharp snap of his cane, every breathless moan issued because of his passionate embrace, I lost sight of the treachery. But as the danger exploded all around us, he became determined to protect me.

And keep me forever.

She was an enigma, as innocent as she was beautiful. But one taste would never be enough.

I was the merciless Don of the Saint family, the title handed to me by my older brother. Our family was notorious and dangerous, running Chicago with iron fists. I had no conscience, no sense of humanity, crushing my enemies like bugs.

No one could soothe the beast. Then a beautiful ballerina crossed my path, her vulnerability calling to the savage in me. Unable to get her off my mind, I took her as mine, the sweetest possession in my collection. Now, she'd only dance for me. But my desire quickly turned into a darker obsession.

Refusing to take no for an answer, her cries of pleasure ignited me. And every time I took her over my knee, painting her bottom a blushing pink, I was reminded of the monster I'd become. But there was no going back.

Soon, I'd break her, bending her to my will. Only then would she become my complete salvation.

I stole food from a powerful Russian Pakhan. My penance? Marrying him.

Las Vegas. Sin City. The place where fortunes were won and lost. However, working in the opulent city hadn't brought me good luck, just the opposite. Now, living in my car with my beloved Goldendoodle, I was broke and famished. But my decision to run out on a tab after feasting at a local restaurant proved to be my downfall. Yet after saving the life of what I thought was just another customer, I soon learned even a good deed had consequences.

Kraven Sokolov was the leader of the notorious Las Vegas Bratva, a man to be feared. While grateful I'd saved his life, whisking me away to his posh residence, I quickly discovered he wanted more. With every strike of his belt, every passionate caress of his rough hands, it became apparent I was going nowhere.

Soon, I became more than just a plaything to the chiseled man with the deep emerald green eyes. I became his. Forever.

She made the mistake of wanting to work for me. Little did she know she was mine forever.

A savage, brutal father, a man who enjoying hunting humans. In my mind, I was nothing like him. Except I was, a darkness festering inside of me. I'd done everything possible to expunge the Saint bloodline, a powerful mafia regime. But I quickly learned there was no escaping my past.

With one more attempt, i was determined to lose myself in writing my first novel. But I needed to hire an assistant. When she waltzed in, explaining all the reasons I should hire her, the darkest spark of all was ignited deep inside. That's the moment I determined I would keep her as mine. All mine.

No matter her cries of protest, she ultimately surrendered to my sadistic needs, screaming out my name in ecstasy. With her bottom burning from my stern rounds of discipline, her cries gave way to her own filthy desires.

Soon, there was no turning back. The beautiful aspiring author, my brilliant intern now belongs to me.

I was caught in a storm of passion, one Id never be able to escape.

I was finally living my dream of owning a posh bed and breakfast, an entirely different reality from being a stockbroker in a big city. I was enjoying the quiet life in Louisiana until a group of dangerous men burst into my place of business demanding I provide lodging.

Beckham Kennedy was a God among men, chiseled to perfection. He exuded raw sensuality, but his bad boy image was all consuming. I quickly learned there was no denying the man or his dark, sadistic needs.

Suddenly, my life was tossed into turmoil as passion erupted between us, the nights of surrender and required obedience fulfilling endless fantasies. But i discovered he was the ruthless leader of a mafia family from New Hampshire who was hunting a savage enemy. When I became his only weakness, my life placed in danger, I was also made his captive.

Now, my rugged guest, the man whose electricity ignited every desire wasnt just my protector. Hed become my master.

The moment I saw her picture, I knew she was mine.

After years in prison for a crime I didnt commit, the last thing I should be doing is tracking down a woman whose name I was never supposed to know, let alone kidnapping her.

But Ive put the angel who made my life worth living again in danger, and Im going to keep her safe whether she likes it or not, even if that means carrying her off and claiming her like a beast.

Because even if she doesnt know it yet, shes always been mine.

He keeps whats his. And as far as hes concerned, Im his already.

When Valerio Royal decided I would be accompanying him to his private island, he didnt ask. He just dragged me onto his plane bound and blindfolded with my ass still sore from a spanking.

Then, after he finished making me come until I almost passed out, he asked me to marry him.

Supposedly it would be just a temporary arrangement, a way to save his business empire in return for some desperately needed cash for me, but Ive seen the look in his eyes when hes inside me.

That look says Im his for good.

I was forced to ask for his help. He took all of me for himself.

Vadim Chernoff was the most powerful man in New York. As Pakhan of East Coasts largest and most dangerous Bratva, he was feared by most men. Over the years, Id found him charming and sweet. He was also my best friends father. I had no other choice but to land on his doorstep. One mistake and there were highly lethal men after me.

He took me in without hesitation, determined to protect me. Only then did I have a chance to experience his merciless side. Our chemistry was off the charts, but all things sinful and forbidden should remain locked away. That became impossible, our needs too intense, our passion unlike anything Id ever known.

His domination included using his hand or a belt to correct me when I broke the rule, my boy and soul craving the excitement. But I should have known with all filthy and amazing things came consequences.

I wasnt going anywhere. Not now. Not ever.
