Bodyguard. Billionaire. I don’t do feelings. Until her.

Ex-Delta Force. CIA. I’ve killed enough people to be very good at keeping others alive. Twelve years ago the last woman I let in died because of me. I don’t make that mistake again.

Then she opens the door at 2am—blonde hair messy, bare feet, ratty robe—and refuses to run. Stubborn. Reckless. A journalist who wrote the story no one else would touch. Now a cartel wants her dead. Seventy-two hours. Maybe less.

She should be afraid of me. She’s not. I don’t give her a choice. My safe house. One roof. No way out. She doesn’t ask permission. Just walks through my walls like they were never there.

When I teach her to fight, I tell myself the contact is necessary. Hands on her hips. Her back against my chest.

I’m lying.

I kiss her like I’ve been starving. She kisses me back like she’s not afraid of what I am. I tell myself I’ll ruin her. She tells me it’s too late. She’s right. I take her like she’s mine. Because she is.

But here’s what keeps me up at night. When everything goes sideways, I know she’ll trade her life for mine. And that’s the one thing I can’t protect her from.

He is the worst of Earth’s warlords. And he is hungry for one thing only: Our torment.

I like to think I’m a good person.

But the things he makes me do… no good person should ever be forced to endure.

Kidnapped during a trip down to the dangerous, war-torn world our ancestors left, I’m forced into situations beyond my most depraved imaginings. Alongside my best friend’s girl, I’m used as a vessel not just for our new master’s pleasure, but for anyone he sees fit to gift us to.

Rebellion equals punishment. Submission equals pain.

Through it all, there’s Bella. Sweet, beautiful Bella. My light in the darkness, the only thing keeping me relatively sane as our bodies are used in ways I didn’t even know was possible.

We may not have any hope of ever returning home, but I will do whatever it takes to protect Bella. To shield her from the worst of the horrors the Wolf visits upon us.

Even if it costs me my own life.

A searing Lords of the Underworld tale by New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter, featuring a beastly prince and the wife he will wage war to keep

He is ice…

Puck the Undefeated, host of the demon of Indifference, cannot experience emotion without punishment, so he allows himself to feel nothing. Until her. According to ancient prophecy, she is the key to avenging his past, saving his realm and ruling as king. All he must do? Steal her from the man she loves—and marry her.

She is fire…

Gillian Shaw has suffered many tragedies in her too-short life, but nothing could have prepared the fragile human for her transition into immortality. To survive, she must wed a horned monster who both intrigues and frightens her…and become the warrior queen she was born to be.

Together they burn.

As a rising sense of possession and obsession overtake Puck, so does insatiable lust. The more he learns about his clever, resourceful wife, the more he craves her. And the more time Gillian spends with her protective husband, the more she aches for him. But the prophecy also predicts an unhappily-ever-after. Can Puck defeat fate itself to keep the woman who brought his deadened heart back to life? Or will they succumb to destiny, losing each other…and everything they’ve been fighting for?

He was supposed to be a stranger, someone on the other side of the wall who’s there to please me and me them. No matter how much I try, I can’t stop thinking about the man who can make my fantasies come to life in a way no one else has. Nothing could have prepared me for the reveal of my mystery man.

I was supposed to be working on myself, trying to figure out my identity outside of my family or a boyfriend. Which led me to explore my desires at the local club, Avalon. And what I found there was more than I bargained for.

He’s not just funny, attentive, and slightly obsessed with me. He’s also the last man I should be falling in love with.

I was on a mission to find out who I was, and I did, just in the arms of a man who is forbidden to me—Lincoln Carlson. I just hope we don’t destroy our families in the wake of our desire, because no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to stay away.Forget Your Morals is an interconnected standalone with Swallow Your Pride being a linear timeline, these books can be read in either order.

Wanting her breaks the rules. Taking her rewrites them.

Róisín Glynn is here to steal from my enemy. It’s my job to make sure she’s on task. Or take her off the board.

But she isn’t supposed to look like temptation. She isn’t supposed to move like she owns the room. Or lie with a voice that makes me want to hear her beg.

She’s clever. Controlled. Braver than she should be. And completely unprepared for the kind of attention she’s just triggered. Because mine is the kind that marks. Stalks. Claims.

She’s playing a part to survive. But I’m playing to own every move she makes. And I never lose.

Especially when she wants to be caught.

Lord of Vengeance is the first book in the Lords of Bratva Series. There is no other woman drama and always, a HEA.

I was raised to be invisible.
Kept hidden, protected, untouched.
A pretty thing locked away from the world of men—and from the truth.

Then the King of Ireland’s criminal underworld claimed me.

He rules with blood and fear, a man whispered about in back rooms and prayed against in churches. He doesn’t ask. He takes. When his empire is threatened, mercy is a weakness he can’t afford—until I become one.

Now I belong to the most dangerous man alive.

His captive.
His obsession.
His wife.

There are no escape routes from a man like him. No bargains. No safe words. In his world, loyalty is bought with violence, love is indistinguishable from possession, and once you’re his, there is no going back.

I was innocent once.
Now I’m his—and the underworld will burn before he lets me go.
