I'm a Royal Bastard through and through. Being prez has been my life, and seeing anything other than the club isn't on my to-do list. To my surprise, a sexy diamond appears out of the blue, and I can't seem to stay away or keep my hands to myself. The perfect gem is mine; I know it, and so does she. I'll do whatever I have to so I can keep her.

Michails Abenteuer nehmen ihren Fortgang. Er findet immer mehr über diese Welt und das Imperium heraus, in dem er jetzt lebt. Allerdings stehen ihm auch ein paar Überraschungen bevor. Man hat ihm zum Beispiel die Aufgabe übertragen, die hoffnungslosesten Studenten der Abteilung der Heilkünste zu unterrichten. Wahrscheinlich war das für Michail als Strafe gedacht. Aber am Ende sind es seine Schüler, die Pech gehabt haben ...

They’re the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia name in New York.... Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi’s throne, he’s only required to do one thing. He must get married to prove that he’s matured and is stable enough to take over. The stipulation doesn’t sound like much of a challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet’s the Bottaro Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another country.

Violet Vendetti was the Bottaro princess - was. She’d been betrothed to the Capo dei capi of New York, without ever knowing it. A deal made, is a deal kept, as far as the Vendetti Crime family is concerned. No matter that it was her father to plead for her safety offering up her hand in marriage amongst other promises. The Capo always comes to collect what is owed.

He was a biker, a Nomad at that. They're the worst type of outlaws to fall for. He called me his daydream, and I fell. I promised I wouldn't f--k him, but I lied and then left. I had to. He didn't want kids, and I was carrying his child. Now, I have to go back and can't help but wonder...will he kill me for keeping his son a secret?

Die Bedrohungen, denen ich in dieser Welt ausgesetzt bin … Nun, es kommt mir vor, als würde ich „Hau-den-Maulwurf“ spielen. Die örtlichen Aristokraten haben sich weiterhin dazu verschworen, der Familie Bulatow, deren Macht konstant zunimmt, Straßensperren in den Weg zu legen. Und dann sind da auch noch die Fremdweltler aus der Interface-Welt–die nicht daran zu denken scheinen, sich zurückzuziehen.

Guys my age just don't do it for me. That's why I'm a college senior and still a virgin. I want a man - a real man - like Professor Fitzgerald. He's handsome, smart, accomplished, and famous for writing a best-selling book about the psychology of sex. Just 'cause I'm a virgin doesn't mean I don't think about doing it. I'm obsessed. My roommate says I'm the dirtiest virgin in the world. I'd let Professor Fitzgerald make me a woman in a heartbeat. But I know he'd never go for a shy, inexperienced student like me.

Once a Widow Maker but now an Oath Keeper, I’ve made this club my life. It’s taken years to earn my cut and the respect of my MC brothers. I’m the youngest in club history to ever wear this patch - the newest Vice President joining in the ranks under one of the most notorious bikers alive. As the President, my blood brother has set the standard for loyalty and violence far out of my reach. However, the mighty must fall at some point.

One's a Sinner, the other a Saint...but can you guess which one? One of them will carve you up the second you turn your back, the other will f--k with your mind. One has a kind heart, while the other has no soul.

She’s mine out of convenience, a means to an end. The crew needs her for a vote, but I need her for so much more. It’s time for an uprising, and in mob life, that’s no easy feat. Blood spills, lines are crossed, and betrayal runs deep. No matter if you’re my enemy or my wife, crew always comes first. Yet, I find myself bartering with the devil. He’s a finicky beast, one I can bargain with. Take a life, in place of another. It’s nothing I haven’t done before, and for her, I’d kill them all.

I could have been anything I wanted: a chef, a chauffeur, a pianist, an artist, an aristocrat . . . but where would the fun be in that? In my past life, I'd been one of the world's greatest demonologists, and horned lords and masters of the inferno had cringed and trembled with terror at my name. That name, in fact, was still around, still making demons tremble. And that was only the beginning, because in this world, I'd chosen to become a soldier. Why? Simple! The army turned out to be a total madhouse that obeyed no reason, and the only way to understand it was to experience it.

Not everyone born of mafia blood wants to be in the life. I was determined to never go anywhere near it. Headed in the opposite direction, I pushed away from my family and their legacy. Until they needed me. And then...so did she. I got sucked in too deep, going after her and trying to save them all. Now, there's no turning back. I'd do anything for my cousins, for Sasha.

They call him the Joker, but he doesn't joke. He doesn't even smile - until her. She's independent, stubborn, strong, and she won't be one of his toys. He's not like other men; he takes what he wants, and he wants her. There are whispers: He's a gangster and that his family has ties to the Italian Mafia. No one dares to cross him, until a hit is put out on his newest obsession. What they don't know is just how crazy he really is when it comes to her. He'll do anything - even go to war.

I'm just not into guys my own age. They're too immature. Too juvenile. That's why I'm a senior in college and still a virgin. I have no interest in giving myself away to some frat boy. I'm waiting for a real man - a man like Dr. Nicholas Adler. He's the top-rated plastic surgeon in Boston and one of the city's most eligible bachelors. Between his rugged good looks, razor-sharp wit, and highly successful career, Dr. Adler leaves little to be desired. Every woman in Boston wants a piece of him. So imagine my surprise when he takes an interest in me.

Mercenary: She was just a job. I needed to get in and uncover the Iron Fists' next move. They'd hit the Oath Keepers enough in the past, and being the newest member, it was up to me to get close. Had I known I'd be getting close to Chevelle, maybe I could've prepared myself. I went in seeking revenge and came out wanting to protect one thing - her.

He calls me free bird, yet I’m not the one who’s free. At least not as free as he is. He’s covered in tattoos, roaring down a Texas highway, and living life. I sit here, pondering what my life could be. It was only supposed to be some fun, not like this. I’m Avery, flustered Barista - looking for a diversion. I’m not like the others. I’m not ready to give in and accept my fate.

Es scheint, als würde es in der Region Irkutsk für unseren Helden allmählich zu eng. Er hat hier zwar sein Zuhause gefunden, wenn auch fürs erste ohne den warmen Schoß einer Frau, und auch das Epizentrum befindet sich in der Nähe – ein perfekter Trainingsplatz. Doch das Problem ist, der junge Baron zieht zunehmend die Aufmerksamkeit der Machthabenden auf sich, die Galaxius und seine Fähigkeiten für ihre eigenen – nicht immer menschlichen – Zwecke nutzen wollen.

This is where Brice Sullivan comes in. After a chance encounter brings Jada and Brice together, Jada decides that he would be the perfect guy to use to get back at Todd for cheating on her. But things begin to spiral out of control.
