My entire life has been a lie...And the one person I allowed myself to trust has shattered any illusion I had left about who I was and where I came from. The men around me have proven just how unworthy they really are, and now I’m caught in the middle of something far more dangerous than I ever could have imagined. My father had to know this day would come. That his past would catch up with both of us. Sebastian wanted me as a pawn, and then for himself, but he seems to have forgotten who he’s dealing with. I’m Stella Doukas...mafia princess.

The truth is meant to set you free…but not my truth. Mine has sent me deeper and darker, feeding my need for revenge. I want blood for those who wronged me and my family. Everyone else has moved on, but I can’t. Not until someone pays. And it seems that fate is on my side this time, because the hellion girl from the graveyard is going to be my saving grace…and provide me with everything I crave. She has no idea what she’s been dragged into, but she’s going to regret every step she’s taken to get here.

All my life I’ve been a prisoner. Locked away by men who think they hold all the power. First my father. And now him. The devil himself. Reid Harris. Even my husband can’t save me from the most infamous man in Harrow Creek and his loyal best friend. I’m tangled up in their twisted games. One woman. Three dangerous men. They expect me to cower. To beg and plead for mercy. But Reid’s about to discover that not everyone bends to his will.

Tristan was the guy everyone wanted...but he was also my older brother's best friend. Smart, kind, and hot as hell, with a one-way ticket straight to the NFL. And then there was Knox...my bad-boy stepbrother. Only a year older, he made me feel like it was just a silly crush until the first time he kissed me.

I hated to trick her...but I knew she would never go for the real me. She was beautiful, smart and funny - everything I could want. And I was...well. Me. Tattooed, foulmouthed bad boy. I told one little white lie hoping to meet someone different. And I did. Danniella Abbot. She wasn’t who I was expecting, and I guess she could say the same, because Danni made it very clear she wasn’t interested in me or my reasons for lying. The fact that she was my best friend’s little sister only complicated an already impossible situation.

I loved to hate her...She made it so easy. She was everything I wasn’t - everything I didn’t want to be. A reminder that from the moment I was born, I was the outcast. The rebel. I went against everything that was expected of me and created a life on my terms. I built my own empire, carved out my own destiny. Then she shows up at my tattoo studio, representing everything I tried to escape. She expects to just fit in...like she ever could. The posh girl trying to prove everyone wrong...that she can be something else - someone else. She hates me because she knows I’m right.

Whoever said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer…was right. Being around her is the worst kind of torture. Emmie is an obligation I can’t avoid…an oath I can’t break. And, having her in my life is the last thing I want or need. But, thanks to my father, I have no choice. This family - this life, is my future, and I’m sure as hell not going to let some spitfire from the wrong side of town get under my skin and in my way.

The empire is crumbling. She didn’t believe me. Even now, she doesn’t want to. But as sirens ring out in the distance and she stares into my eyes - there is no denying it. No denying her. Or the truth. The threat is closer than we've ever imagined, and uncovering that truth is deadlier than the lies she grew up believing. We’re at our breaking point, but I’m not going down without a fight. And I’m sure as hell not going to lose her. Not after everything we’ve endured.

I found peace in the last place I expected, but it was a mirage built on lies and unfulfilled promises. I thought we somehow managed to find a way to co-exist in their little lair, but as usual I was wrong. The second I felt settled, a corrupt Hawk turns up and flips everything I’ve come to know—and dare to trust— on its head. Without a choice, I’m dragged out into the night by the man I vowed to obey— Maverick Murray. Taken away from the protection of the man I loved to hate— Reid Harris.

I might have accomplished the impossible and walked back up those stairs. But I wasn’t naïve. Freedom didn’t await. Only more locked doors and nightmares. My captivity means nothing now. My hope is locked up in despair. Because just like he promised, Mav came for me. No one breaks into the Devil's manor… and lives to tell the tale.

I hated her defiance.... But it made me want her even more. Her brother was my friend...and my boss. She was off-limits. Kassie Fox. From the first moment she looked in my direction, I knew she would be mine. It's impossible to stay away. I'm breaking all the rules...and shattering the golden rule I live by: Never trust a woman. Ever.

I hated to play her.... But she left me no choice with her betrayal. Star-crossed lovers doesn't even begin to describe what happened 17 years ago, when I fell for the one girl I shouldn't have. The forbidden. Our Rival. My enemy. Piper Collins. She was perfect, despite her family name. Too good to be true...too bad she was a snitch.

We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. That our love could start a war. That my family might not accept the idea of us. But we never even got the chance to find out.... Because everything’s been ripped away from me. And all I’m left with is the memory of his touch and secrets that are threatening to break me from the inside out.

I’d been burned by Theo Cirillo enough to know that I should have seen this coming. He loved to show me his merciless side, but I couldn’t stay away from the deviant even if I wanted to. A prisoner of my own making, playing a game without knowing all the rules. Until the lies he’d been telling, the secrets he’d been keeping began to unravel around us. He was only manipulating me. Using me. I was nothing more than a nut he had to crack. And he split me right open, but he’s about to get a shock, because I’m not the kind of girl to roll over and take it. I’m Emmie Ramsey.

A love like ours was never meant to exist. It pushed every boundary. Broke every rule. My heart couldn't deny what I felt for him, and my body couldn't ignore his touch. He was my step-brother, and what we had might be real...but it was also forbidden.

Watching her walk away for a second time...nearly destroyed me. But it was nothing less than I deserved for the things I put her through. I should have let her go. I’d already caused Emmie enough pain to last a lifetime. But I’m a masochist. Her pain is my pain. And she’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And the sooner she understands that she belongs by my side, the better. Nothing she can do will convince me that we’re not made for one another. We might be toxic. Combustible. A match made in hell. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And together. We will reign.

Some demons we can't outrun. Kane Legend is mine. The gorgeous boy who always finds me. The ruthless bully I've spent my life avoiding. Even leaving Harrow Creek wasn't enough to escape his torment. Because I didn't stay away and neither could he. One weekend home...one party. One night that ruined everything.

I thought I knew pain. I thought I knew grief. I knew nothing. And nothing could compare to the moment Toby ripped my heart right out of my chest. Confirming all my worst fears. Shattering the very foundation my life has been built on. Deception is his weapon, and now I’m his victim. Rock bottom is a familiar place, and once again I’m trying to drag myself out of the pits of despair. But fate is an evil master, and before long I find myself with no other place to turn…but him. He might be cruel. Reckless. Dangerous. But I also know that he’ll do anything to right his wrongs.

Kane Legend always finds me. And now he’s found out the truth. The pain of the words falling from my lips, is nothing compared to the look of devastation in his eyes. Or the rage that follows. The way I thought he hated me back then is nothing compared to the damage he can do now. His revenge is vicious. Cruel. And I’m reminded of my deception at every turn. But everything isn’t always as it seems. I’m not the only one with secrets. And his have the power to ruin me. This time for good.
