I’m a nobody...until everybody realizes who I am and who I’m related to. Then, it’s like a giant target that is painted on my back. They all think they can use me to climb the Rosewood High royalty ladder. They obviously underestimate me. I won’t cower down or give in. They can’t break me. But he can...without even trying. 

Everyone thinks they know me...but they’re wrong. Fearless on the outside - a lie. I’m a fraud, hiding behind a mask of perfection. My reality very different. The captain. The leader. The Queen Bee. None of it real - all just an illusion. Perception is everything and I use it to get what I want, when I want, refusing to let anyone stand in my way. Until he shows me that he’s not the man I expected. He’s not just the quiet one...the innocent one. But the one to finally tear away the mask and look beneath the surface.

After six years of living in denial, Luca is finally faced with the truth. A brutal discovery he refused to accept when I needed him most. Now the vengeance he so desperately craves isn’t directed at me, but the monster responsible for destroying all our lives. That might put us on the same side this time, but that doesn’t mean I can forgive him for not believing me. Or for hating me when I loved him.

For years I've kept my secrets. Kept the darkest, most twisted parts of myself buried from everyone around me. My need to destroy those responsible for tainting my life, ruining the person I was, the person I could've been, burns hotter with every passing day. And when I finally get the chance to confront one and unleash the monster he turned me into, I walk straight into the other. The one who haunts my nightmares. The girl who torments me relentlessly. The angel who could have saved me...but damned me instead. It's my turn to use her. As bait.

It’s been almost six years since she ruined what we had. Her lies shattered years of friendship and ripped apart the future we planned. After I called her a liar and revoked my trust, she left town and never looked back. In a cruel twist of fate, she’s returned. But I’m not the wounded boy she left behind. I’m a man now. A man full of anger, resentment, and loss. Darkness consumed me after she left. An unforgiving black hole where my heart used to be. If she thinks she’s already seen the worst of me, she’s wrong. Dead wrong.

I’ve spent the past year plotting my revenge and imagining all the wicked things I’d do to her when our paths finally crossed again. I just had no idea it would be so soon. The last thing I expected when I reentered the world was to find myself right in the middle of hers. The girl who betrayed me, the snitch who ruined me - here for the taking. While she’s been oblivious here in Rosewood, I’ve been trapped in hell. Better watch your back, Harley Hunter. You’re about to be owned by a Legend.

I might have been the one who walked away, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still haunted by her - by what I did to her. But that’s the thing about ghosts…they always return when you least expect it. My stepsister was an outlet for my pain, but everything has changed. Now I’ve got nothing to lose. If she thought I hated her the first time we met, then she’s about to get a shock. The rage I felt didn’t compare to the fury that now consumes me. I might be empty, but I’m going to show her how it feels by taking away everything she has...one painful piece at a time. 

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.

Being infatuated with my childhood best friend was a beautiful curse. Our lives were an uphill struggle against every odd, but as long as we had each other...we had everything. Then it was all gone. Now I've built my life to perfection yet still yearning for that boy I used to know. Then one night, through a chance encounter, I see him. Riot James. He's an MMA fighter with a beastly body, roped and corded with muscle and gleaming with sweat. His nose, reminiscent of a Roman gladiator, was bent a little like it's been broken. A few times.

Violence has dogged me all my life. An asshat father, a cruel foster home. Seems I’m following the same path. Only worse. I lost someone, and it hurt me bad. Drugs and street crime were all I knew. But that all ended the day I got patched. We owned Hardale, CA. It was our town. Until that firefight with the Cobras. Now, we’re laying low…or supposed to be. But a cute waitress soon changes all that. She’s beautiful, though I can't get involved. Risking my brothers is the last thing I want. Our lives are poles apart. But I want her in my bed.
