Rivals since before birth, there has never been a time when my family hasn’t hated the Lockwoods and their daughter Harlow.

Two years ago she set us up, tainted our family image, ruined my brother’s life. She made it personal. It was no longer just a rivalry between our parents.

Now she’s here, at Bayshore University, without her family’s protection. There’s nothing to stop us from getting our revenge on her, no one to tell us enough is enough.

And so my brothers and I have devised a plan. We’ll break her, have her falling at her knees for us in no time, and then we’ll send her back to her family with a warning…

Cross the Bishops again and you’ll pay.

Wayne and Nancy grow up on opposite sides of the country, each certain they must have love richer than what others will settle for. Something stronger, something higher, something worth searching for.

During the turbulent nineteen-sixties, they meet while he is attending blue-collar Drexel, and she is at neighboring, Ivy League Penn. Although irresistibly drawn to each other, they must overcome obstacles posed by the class and social differences separating them, as well as opposition from both families, and later, a twist of fate that will be the cruelest test of all.

Can they reach the emotional altitude they seek? Can they overcome time’s downward pulling inertia?

10 cities in two weeks 10 famous rock stars

On my knees Against the wall On my tits I don’t care. As long as I get the evidence to prove it. Why? Because I caught my former prick of a boyfriend from Heavy Metal Enthusiasts doing a groupie doggie style backstage on the night we were supposed to be celebrating our 1 year anniversary.

He told me I was too uptight. Too vanilla. Too boring. So I got drunk with my bestie, Marsha West, the aspiring videographer. I ranted. I raved. I came up with a crazy idea.

What I didn’t know was that my best friend recorded me. Marsha put the video up on YouTube. It went viral with 10 million hits. Now I’ve got fans and sponsors offering me big bucks.

Rock stars are volunteering to be my f*** buddy. Hollywood is calling. I get to choose which rock stars I want.

The stakes are high. This sh*t just got real. What could go wrong?

Zander:

In the NHL, I’m known as the Hard Hitter but my puck-handling skill isn’t my greatest accomplishment. That would be my four-year-old daughter Daisy and I’ll do anything to protect her. I’m careful who I let into our lives, but the more I’m around Samantha, my daughter’s speech pathologist, the more I’m reminded of how long I’ve been functioning solely as a dad. I don’t want to trust her, don’t want to get close. I don’t want to fall in love with her or her big, welcoming family but sometimes, don’ts have a way of becoming dos, no matter how hard you fight it.

Samantha:

Getting involved with a client’s father is a strict “no,” but when Zander shows me how good he is at talking bad, it sets off a firestorm of need hot enough to melt the ice in the rink he plays on. I’m not good at relationships and have basically given up on men, but a brief fling with a dirty talking hockey player sounds pretty good at the moment.

I didn’t expect to actually fall for him and his daughter, or that it would be so good, but leave it to me to do the one and only thing that taps into his darkest fears and incinerate the fragile trust that’s built between us.

They say that revenge is sweet. It’s even more delicious when it involves hooking up with four guys in Vegas.

When Amanda, the popular cheerleader, asked for my help, I thought fate was smiling on me. But when she failed her test and decided to make me her Enemy Number One, things at uni took a turn for the worst. But I’m not the kind of person to let a bully walk all over me.

When Amanda left her phone in the library, I found it and took a chance and read her messages. I wanted to see if there was something in it I could use against her. She needed a taste of her own medicine. What I found was the Rome Brothers: Michael, Adam, Tristan, and Daniel. The four hottest guys on the university’s baseball team, and apparently Amanda wanted them – badly. Their text exchanges were so dirty. It seemed that Amanda was planning to have a fivesome.

I could have shared her secret with the entire campus, but that wasn’t good enough. I wanted REVENGE.

So, I started texting each of them.

Michael was the leader. Daniel was the sensitive one. Tristan was the sweet one. Adam was the naughty one. I shouldn’t have texted them pretending to be Amanda. I should have been honest and told them the truth.

But I couldn’t resist the urge to let them do all the things that they’d promised in their texts. They wanted me; they just didn’t know who I was. But they were about to find out.

It was time to get my own back on the university bully, and I wasn’t going to do it alone…

She’s human, which means she’s off-limits. They’re the elite guards who can’t stay away.

After Temperance finds a bloodsucking monster in her father’s closet, she knows her life in the small town of Lightning Creek will not be as she expected. 

Her father left her alone immediately for a job, the community college won’t let her register and now she’s being stalked by a nightmarish beast that feeds on blood. 

Gideon. Edric. Bentley. Rhett. Four warriors bound by duty and driven by desire.

They shouldn’t want her. But, whenever they’re near, they make her body shoot to DEFCON alpha levels of arousal. They are dominant and possessive, and Temperance can’t give them an inch without them taking a mile. Which is how she finds herself the only human enrolled at the magical university they protect. 

This way, they say, they can keep her safe. As her presence brings danger closer to campus, Temperance realizes she needs her warriors. In every way. But as the questions build, Temperance uncovers a secret that could shatter them apart. 

One stolen moment. That’s all it took to change everything. 

The sweet girl next door, Shay Steele, knows better than to set eyes on Three Rivers’ bad boy, Luke Rogers. With three alpha brothers determined to keep her from ever dating, it’s not like she would even have a chance with their best friend and local football hero. But when Luke starts paying attention to her, she thinks her dreams may finally come true.

Luke knows Shay is off limits but he just can’t seem to stay away from the feisty brunette. Besides, a little secret—and a lot of kissing—never hurt anyone. Right?

Lies and secrets, however, never seem to stay hidden for long. When their newfound romance is discovered, not everyone is happy to hear about it and worse yet, they’re not afraid to pull the trigger.

I always liked him. But when our parents got married, things got confused. As if being a teenager isn’t confusing enough. All I knew was that the feelings I had for him weren’t okay.

I’ll never forget the anxiety I felt the night I ran into him at a party that had gotten out of control. I saw him standing around with the popular kids as soon as I walked in the door. And he saw me, too. He always saw me. It was talking to me that he avoided.

I watched his buddy spin an empty wine bottle on the butcher block while my friend Brandi rummaged in her oversized purse for the two bottles of hard lemonade her older sister gave us. When the spinning bottle stopped, I realized everyone was staring at me.

“Looks like you’ve gotta kiss Jen,” some jock said to Ethan. 

I felt the color drain from my face, taking the moisture in my mouth with it as a suffocating panic grew in my chest. I was going to be found out. 

Ethan laughed it off. “Yeah, that’s not happening. She’s my sister.”

“Not really, though,” his buddy insisted. 

The eruption of laughter and jeering sounds made the dim kitchen feel like a jungle full of predators, and I was sure my cheeks were going to burst into flames. 

“Don’t be stupid,” Ethan said, tilting a can of beer over his mouth.

When his friend spun the bottle again, Ethan glanced back at me one more time and wiped the back of his hand across his lips. 

I’ve been wondering what it would be like to kiss him ever since.
