Before Sawyer Bishop, I was innocent. He was my mentor and my father’s business partner. He was never meant to be my lover. The first time he touched me I was twenty-three. As I lay quivering on the floor of my father’s study, relieved of my virginity, I recall how satisfying it felt to finally do something wrong, something forbidden, something a little vengeful to help me feel anything beyond the pain of their abandonment. But Sawyer Bishop was as ruthless as the rest of them.

I am nothing and no one. Such a Debbie Downer attitude, I know. My entire existence is one of mere survival within a pack that sees me as worthless. The alpha is ruthless, but he hasn't killed me yet. Small mercies, right? I've never known kindness, so what do I do when four guys show up with smiles and soft touches? Hide, for all of five minutes. They're kind of insistent on getting to know me, and everything in me rebels at the thought of running from them. You see, there's this pull. A connection that snapped into place when we made eye contact. They're apparently my freaking mates.

After eight years running a criminal organization, I've got my life and business on track. But when I'm embroiled in a bloody battle for my turf, I also find myself at the center of attention for four smoking hot men. I struggle to get used to them having my back, until I'm crushed under the worst darkness this dangerous world has to offer. Can their love fuel my strength to save myself?

I was told to stay away from him. He’s my brother’s nemesis and our families have been enemies for generations. They say he’s untrustworthy, but I can’t stop thinking about how good he made me feel. When I’m with him, I’m alive. He sees the real me, not my name or money, but the woman I’m meant to be. I can’t resist him, so I let myself fall. But my past has me in a chokehold that won’t let go. It’s him or them. They say I have to choose, so I choose me.

Men. Relationships. Love. Marriage. Camilla Donahue has sworn off all of these. If you were married to someone like Callum Anderson for seven years, you would understand why. Instead, she finds Jackson Williams, her parents' landscaper and the local heartthrob. She pretends she isn't attracted to him. But a dinner, a hike, and a kiss distract her from every rule she's created to protect her heart. She tells herself it's nothing. Casual. Just fun. That's what they agreed to. But soon, they find themselves on the cusp of something more.

I still can't get over the fact that he kidnapped me...and I'm still freaking here! I have four mates, and NONE of them have saved me yet?! I'm sure they're trying their best, but our small mental conversations aren't enough. I'm slowly losing my mind in this basement, and I can't tell whether it's from not being with my mates for so long or the torture that I'm forced to endure from this overgrown manchild. The pain from being separated from them is excruciating, but I can't let that take me out. I have to get back to them. Wouldn't you be desperate for a rescue?

We are so freaking lost right now. Without our mate, our wolves are on the verge of going feral. We're not even acting like ourselves, and it's only been a few hours! Mavrin is spazzing out, and snapping on everyone. Cash is stable, but it's throwing everyone off because that's Mavrin's role. Krix is still trying to lead us, but you can tell he's overwhelmed. And I'm...numb. Jahla has been taken by a psychotic spoiled brat, and we have to venture into enemy territory to get her back.

This is it. Everything that we've been through during this last year has led to this moment. We're all a little traumatized by the things that we've seen and done, but at least we're still here. Not many others can say that. I'm not the same girl that I was when I caught that first whiff in the school courtyard, and I never want to be seen as that weak again. On the other hand, I've seen sides of my guys that I didn't even know they were capable of exhibiting. We all have pieces of ourselves that we'd like to keep hidden, apparently.

Salma is haunted by the truth of who she is and why she was brought to the manor. She must break the tainted bond she shares with its master without him learning the truth...or die. Their kiss can mean nothing to her if she is to survive. Especially when the Shade bite she received is even now tainting her blood, twisting her soul, and turning her into a creature of the night.

Finally being free from years of study at Manchester University, I’m thrust into the high-powered world of investment banking. The game is thrilling, but I find myself distracted by the players…three of them, to be precise. A Viscount’s son, and two wealthy brothers, one of whom is their leader.

As her fae liege, he knows only that he must protect her. But is he her hero...or her captor? Salma knows only her own name. She doesn’t even remember why she’s ill. Then a fae lord who claims he knows her snatches her back to his manor, and she learns that some things are more sinister than death.

Torn from my men by a favor owed, I'm thrust into the dark underworld of Liverpool, a city I'm not that familiar with. It is also where my sister lives. Trapped until I find the woman I've been tasked to find or be sent to prison for my crimes, I have no choice but to keep up my dangerous mission. I'm shocked to my core when I discover that my older sister is involved in some shady business that I had no idea about.

Fighting for my life, I manage to escape my captor, showing everyone that they don’t call me the Black Widow for nothing. But my torment and torture has left a hole in my soul that cannot be repaired, not in Manchester anyway. Not even in England. It’s only when the big bad assassin takes me to his home in Ireland to recuperate, with the rest of my men following us, that I find a sense of peace fall over me.
