Gypsy - Lucian West isn’t husband material. He's a stiff in a suit. Granted a hot one, but still. He’s one of the most hated men in America. An arrogant asshole. A ruthless attorney. He gets what he wants in the courtroom, and outside of it. Now, he wants me. For reasons I can’t fathom, he’s determined to make me his wife. He makes it clear he’s not above blackmailing me to put a ring on my finger. The man might be richer than sin with devilish good looks, but hell will freeze over before I ever give my heart to him.

Santiago finally has what he wants. His baby is growing inside me. I’ve rewritten her destiny, binding her to me for good. Things are changing for us. I see beyond the monster he shows the world. See the scars he hides beneath the ink. ILove is a weakness men like me can’t afford. I’ve decided to keep her, but I’ll never forfeit my revenge.

There’s a thin line between hate and tolerance, and it seems to sit squarely between us. Lola Bell could easily bring an army of men to their knees, as long as she never opened her mouth. She’s soft in too many ways. A people-pleaser who goes the extra mile. Some might call her an easy target. In short, she has all of the qualities that I despise. But when it comes to me, she doesn’t hesitate to fling her poison arrows my way. She has every right to her feelings. Over the years, I’ve given her plenty of ammo. Yeah, I hate Lola. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her too. When she makes me a proposition I can’t refuse, there’s just one problem.

From the first night I bedded her, I knew I was playing with fire. And now I must face the consequences. I betrayed my best friend. A man who was more a brother to me than my own blood. And now I fear I have lost her too. She claims men hold all the power in our world, but she has brought me to my knees. I love her. I know that now. Too little too late. Breaking a heart is easy. Mending one is more complicated. But a predator lies in wait of her. And I’ll do anything I must to keep her safe.

Your first kiss is supposed to be sweet. Ours was baptized in fire. I was the new girl trying to find her place. Landon was the brooding neighbor I tutored over the summer. I didn’t know he was a legend at Black Mountain Academy. I didn’t know they worshipped him like a religion. But, I fell for him before I knew those things. To me, he was just the tortured soul who drew me in like a magnet. And then, he did something so unspeakable, so unforgivable, it shattered me. I ran away then because I was weak, but I’ve shed my tears.

When going to war, there are three very simple rules one must abide by: know thy enemy, be prepared to sacrifice, and always wear good shoes. After all, revenge is a dish best served in stilettos. I've got an eye for it, and nothing's going to stand in my way. Not even Rory "The Saint" Brodrick.

A cruel fate. Two souls condemned. An impossible love. I knew he’d choose me before he came to our door on the night of the Tithing. I bore the mark that would make me his. It was my ancestor who spoke the words that bound us together, and his demon-god who promised protection for the price of blood. My blood. I was prepared to be that sacrifice if it would keep my family safe. Loving Azrael? The thought never crossed my mind. He was and would forever be my enemy.

An ancient curse. Two families bound. A forbidden love. When the Wildbloods presented their daughters to me on the night of the Tithing, they knew what was to come for the chosen girl. The crescent moon that marked Willow made her mine. I had no choice but to take her. Destiny determined our fates long before we were born, laying our roles out for us. A Sacrifice would be made. A Tithe paid. Only then would our families be free, at least until the next payment came due. I would have done my duty as Penitent. I tried.

They call him the devil. When I crash-landed into him on my first day at Loyola Academy, I was sure that couldn’t be true. He was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen in real life. Little did I know he was also the cruelest. I went from starstruck to stunned the moment his cynical eyes cut through me. I can’t tell you what it was that made him want to punish me. But from that day forward the brooding recluse of a man made it his goal to torment me. I want to loathe him, and some days, I do. But good or bad, nobody’s attention has ever tasted so sweet.

Before the world knew me as a rock god, I was just the angry boy who stole her heart. She was a good girl. The forbidden fruit I wasn’t meant to taste. Our stars were crossed, and fate had doomed us from the start. She was promised to someone else. I had her secret smiles.

Seit der ersten Nacht, die wir miteinander verbrachten, wusste ich, dass ich mit dem Feuer spielte. Jetzt muss ich mich den Konsequenzen stellen. Ich habe meinen besten Freund verraten. Einen Mann, der für mich mehr ein Bruder war als mein eigenes Blut.

Ich bin ein Sovereign Son. Ein König innerhalb der Society. Mit nur einem Blick zwinge ich Männer in die Knie. Sie aber widersetzt sich mir und verhöhnt mich mit ihrer Rebellion. Doch es gibt Regeln, an die wir uns zu halten haben.

Dieses Set beinhaltet Requiem der Seele, Wiedergutmachung der Sünden und Wiederbelebung des Herzens und ist die komplette Geschichte von Ivy und Santiago.

Ich lebe in einer Welt, in der Verschwiegenheit regiert. In der Society, einer Gesellschaft, die auf Macht, Reichtum und alteingesessenen Dynastien beruht. Wo Männer Könige sind und Frauen Spielfiguren. Solange ich denken kann, träume ich davon, den Fesseln der Erwartungen an mich zu entkommen. Aber es wird nie mehr als ein Traum sein. Nach einem fatalen Fehler wurden diese Fesseln zu einem Käfig.

Santiago hat endlich, was er will. Sein Baby wächst in mir heran. Ich habe ihr Schicksal umgeschrieben und sie für immer an mich gebunden. Die Dinge ändern sich für uns. Ich sehe hinter das Monster, das er der Welt zeigt. Ich sehe die Narben, die er unter den Tattoos versteckt.

Mein Mann hasst mich. Aber er ist gleichzeitig der einzige Mann, der mich retten kann. Entführt von einem Fremden, ist Santiago meine einzige Hoffnung. Nur weiß ich nicht, ob er tot ist oder noch lebt. Und so grausam er auch sein kann, der Gedanke, dass er tot sein könnte, ist unerträglich.

Wie weit würdest du gehen, um jemanden zu retten, den du liebst? Würdest du deinen Körper aufgeben? Deinen Verstand? Dein Herz? Ich habe es getan, und es hat mich alles gekostet. Er sagt, ich gehöre ihm. Und es ist wahr.

Jemand hat mir einmal gesagt, dass das Glück vergänglich ist. Jetzt weiß ich, dass er Recht hatte. Ich bin in einem schwarzen Loch voller Dunkelheit gefangen, aus dem ich nicht herauszukommen scheine. Mein Zwillingsbruder und mein Liebhaber wollen sich gegenseitig umbringen, und ich bin schwanger mit einem Baby, von dem ich nicht weiß, wie ich es schützen soll.

Ich wurde mit adligem Blut in meinen Adern geboren. Erbe einer mächtigen Dynastie. Reichtum. Macht. Aristokratie. Verlockungen, denen ich nicht widerstehen konnte.
