Introduction
Erin challenged, her eyes flashing with defiance.
Braden's gaze narrowed as he looked down at her, taking in her flushed cheeks and the way her breath came out in soft gasps. He realized he had her pinned beneath him on the bed, and he felt a surge of desire that he couldn't ignore.
Her soft and wet pants filled his eyes and the realization hit him then. With her legs wrapped around him and their lips so close, they both struggled to resist the intense attraction between them.
They had always been rivals, but now they were also caught up in a sensual game that threatened to consume them both.
Julius Stone, the powerful and wealthy chairman of the Stone empire, is desperate to find an heir to take over his business. When he realizes that his son is not up to the task, he turns to his grandson, Braden. However, Braden proves to be just as unsuitable, and Julius decides to take drastic measures.
He enlists Erin, the beautiful daughter of his maid, to compete with Braden for the inheritance. The rivalry between the two young heirs soon turns into a heated sexual tension that they struggle to resist.
As they grow into adults, Braden is consumed by his desire for Erin, despite his vow to put her in her place. Erin, too, is tempted by Braden, even as they continue to compete and challenge each other.
Will they give in to their passion, or will their rivalry keep them apart?

Invisible To Her Bully
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?

The War God's Favorite
Cassandra jumped. Two Palace servants had entered the room just when she finished dressing.
"You wrench! Who is your master? Speak!"
"Lord... Lord the Third... Third Prince..." She stuttered despite the pain.
" You liar! Do you think we are stupid? The Third Prince doesn't bring any attendants! You lying whore! Show us your identification!"
They slapped Cassandra again, insulting her before they dragged her out.
"You slut! How dare you! How did you even survive the offering! And now to hide in a Prince's chamber! You slut! I'm going to finish you myself if you won't die! You..."
She had grabbed Cassandra's hair and started pulling her violently, but suddenly froze. Everyone in the Garden had heard it too.
A dragon's angry growl, right above their heads.
