One glance from Hunter Reed, and my world ignited. The only problem? He's now my stepsister's fiancé. A misunderstanding led my stepfather to arrange Hunter's marriage to Olivia, when Hunter had actually been asking about me.

I've spent years building my tech empire, determined to escape my family's criminal legacy. But when the Ivanov brothers take me captive to control my father, all my careful plans crumble. My jailer, Erik Ivanov, is nothing like I expected.

One moment of brutal truth to my sister, and both our worlds collapsed into darkness. The confession had barely left my lips—the truth about Hunter and me laid bare before Olivia—when men drugged us and dragged us from the masquerade’s shadows.

Traded like a poker chip by my own brother. One minute I'm living it up in LA, the next I’m shipped across the country and married to Silvo De Luca—the most dangerous and infuriatingly handsome mafia boss in Philadelphia.

Beautiful monsters wear the most alluring disguises... and the deadliest one just walked into my gallery. As a successful gallery owner in Boston, I thought I knew who I was. Then Nikolai Ivanov walked into my life, and everything changed.

I've made a career of being invisible. Until I met him. Alexei Ivanov. The "Ghost" of the dark web. Digital prince of the Ivanov crime empire. Brilliant. Volatile. Irresistible. Breaking into his systems was supposed to be revenge. Instead, I found an addiction.

He’s spent years tormenting me, but now he wants to own me.

I made a mistake, and now he wants to punish me. Everyone knows better than to steal from a Romano, but I was desperate. I was so close to getting away with it as well. I had one foot out the door, and I was hauled back into the club by security.

I've always prided myself on seeing through people's bullshit. But Dmitri Ivanov? He's a puzzle I can't solve.

My line of work lands me in bed with criminals more often than I’d like. When an Italian mobster hires me to investigate a murder, it leads me to him. Yuri Lenkov, rumored assassin for the Bratva.

He has stolen me from my fiancé and claims I belong to him now. Piero Panarello was going to be my husband. Handsome. Charming. Rich. I’d started to fall for him until out of nowhere I’m stolen by his enemy. Cillian Hook. Equally handsome, but not so charming.

I chased after a monster, and now I’m not sure I’ll survive his wrath. Gavril Nitkin is renowned for his dark and depraved ways. After years of crushing on the hot, sadistic, and intimidating professor, I finally try to reel him in. Big mistake. The man isn’t human, he’s a beast.

He’s my dirty secret, one I don’t think I can hide much longer. Killian Callaghan has haunted my fantasies for years. Ever since we attended the Syndicate Academy. He’s sinfully gorgeous, covered in tattoos, and totally off limits.

I've admired him from afar for years, until he shows his true colors. Dante Ortega has played guitar at the club I work at ever since I started. His band is famous in New York City. One night, I find out the gorgeous guitarist has a very dark secret.

Aida and Gia convince me to join them for a getaway in Boston. With my parents away in Hong Kong, I agree without hesitation. Little do I know it will be a decision I come to regret. I'm snatched from the bar we're drinking at.

I’m shackled to a monster, and the only way out is death. My arranged marriage to Adrik Volkov soon turns into a nightmare. Two months before our wedding date, he forces me down the aisle. Then, drags me to a club where he shoots my father dead in front of my eyes.

He's forbidden, off-limits, yet I'm irresistibly drawn to him. Niall Fitzpatrick, my brother's best friend, has always been there, from childhood on the streets. I never saw him as anything more than a loyal friend until one fateful night.

He’s evil incarnate, cloaked in a beautiful disguise. My father uprooted our family, forcing me to relocate to America. If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s making me marry the son of a psychopath. Maxim Volkov. Heir to the Volkov Bratva.

Desperation drives me into the hands of a dangerous predator. I never should have considered auctioning off my innocence. The men who bid are the darkest kind, the ones you never want to encounter.

My father is the mob boss of the Juliano Mafia—our family legacy. He has always been too ambitious for his own good, so much so that he does the unspeakable and crosses The Romano Mafia.
