Ménage with the Devil
By Jenni Simonis
A dangerous man with a legacy. A stolen woman with a fierce heart. A man bound by duty.
Antony
As the head of the Bernardi Family, my destiny is sealed. Marrying Lilliana Rossi is my fate, and my family’s existence depends on her submission. Which is why I have entrusted my best friend, Césare, to protect her and care for her in my absence.
But trust comes at a price, and soon I find myself entangled between heaven and hell. Loyalty is what I demand, but can I trust Lilliana and Césare will deliver me from my sins? Or will the salvation I seek be my undoing in more ways than one?
Lilliana
When the Devil of Chicago comes to take me as his bride, I know I should put up a fight. But the desire to submit to the devil’s whims is too strong to resist.
Which is why when Antony’s right hand, Césare Gallo, steps in to help, I know it’s only a matter of time before the fire between us burns us all.
Will the game we’re playing destroy more than our hearts? Or will our love be the salvation that will save us all?

The Bloke: A Dark Dancer Romance
By Jacklyn Parker
CAN YOU FEEL THE THUNDER?
I’m a legacy and obligated to follow in my mother’s footsteps. I spent two tireless years attempting to gain acceptance into the Aurelia School of Dance, only to be denied time and time again.
Having been raised in a life filled with unrealistic expectations and dreams that were never mine to begin with, I was desperate for a change of scenery and pace.
After my third attempt and failure at acceptance, I packed my bags and flew across the country, abandoning my past for what it was and rebranding my identity—my future.
Las Vegas—the city that never sleeps.
An escape from the reality of never being good enough for anyone or anything.
I was a pushover when I lived in New York; now, I'm a force to be reckoned with.
Enter Colby Bryce, a man who I didn't expect to sweep me off my feet and show me just how much the world had to offer to those who knew how to take what they wanted.
One wild night, one blazing hookup, and one giant f*cking mistake.
What happens in Vegas... Well, you know the rest...

The Marked & the Menaced
By Mallory Wanless

But after watching Leah fall for Ash, and spending a year alongside Irena and Dimitri as their love—and their son—grew, he started to question that belief. Back in Vexia, he decides it's time to carve out a life of his own. Maybe not one filled with love, but one that’s his. No more living in service of his sisters. It’s time to forge his own path.
But the Thieves’ Guild has other plans.
Retirement isn’t an option when you’ve been marked for death the moment you walk away.
The Menaced...
Oliver hated everything.
Well—maybe not everything—but how do you enjoy anything when the threat of your brother’s death never leaves your mind? The Guild has been using Matty’s illness to control their family for years. One job, one dose. Just enough to keep Matty alive for another month.
Oliver should be numb to it by now.
But this job is different. This one requires a kill.
And Oliver is no killer.
Now he must choose: take a stranger’s life, or lose Matty forever.
Some choices aren’t choices at all.
