I’ve finally found someone who doesn’t judge me for my sins and stays by my side while I trudge through the shadowy corners of my past.
The only problem is, his friends have other plans.
One watches me day and night—painting a picture of a disturbed life together.
And the other is hanging my secret over my head as leverage to aid in his own scheme.
But everyone has a weakness, and that weakness will be mine.

There once was a sicko
who watched me day and night.
His invisible leash,
never let me out of his sight.
His friends were unlike him,
one a monster I feared.
The other bled crimson,
with a heart that was pure.

And that's what Dominic Reed was to me. A devastating consequence.

It seemed harmless when we met. He needed a nanny, and I needed a job. Badly. I was the only thing keeping food on the table and lights on in our not-so-happily-ever-after house. Dad had split, and Mom was always blitzed out to forget he was gone, and I was all my little sister had left.

I thought working for Dominic Reed would be easy.

I thought wrong.

It was the exact opposite of easy. It was impossible, in fact, when he was my boss and I was his employee, and fate decided it didn't care about professionalism or boundaries.

It didn't care that I was ten years younger. It didn't care that I'd built the entire foundation of my adult life on the fact that love was poison and men were the devil.

And it certainly didn't care about the wedding band around Dominic's finger either.

No matter how off limits he was to me or how wild and rebellious I was to him, our chemistry was heroin, and it demanded our submission despite how hard we scrambled to stop it.

And I needed to stop it, because it wasn't just my heart in jeopardy if I fell in love with Dominic Reed.

Apparently, it was my life.]]> Alexandria Lee Katelyn 5 3.46

The chemistry between these two is off the charts from the beginning and it leaves you practically screaming at the page for them to just DO IT ALREADY. The tension, perfection. The raw messages interwoven, seamless. The imagery and storytelling, off the flipping charts! This is the first book that I've read by Alexandria Lee but call me an addict now because I am HOOKED on this girl.

Someone has been watching me.
His eyes burn into my soul like a branding iron. At night, he haunts my dreams and transforms them into nightmares.
And sometimes when I wake, he’s there.
Standing at the foot of my bed in awe of my existence.

Only their obsession runs deeper than Ridge’s and I fear if I fall under their thumbs, I won’t make it out of here alive.

He preyed on my soul baring a closed iron fist.
His stare made me itch while his eyes locked me under his spell.

I wanted him since the day I met him. Long haired, tattooed and tall as an Irish giant. He was more than just handsome, he was drop dead gorgeous. And the only one who ever truly cared. It didn’t matter to him that my father was a criminal and my mother a whore. He saw me, understood me.

I could be anything I wanted, he said.
Except his.
Because I was too young and he was my Juvenile Liaison Officer.

Diarmuid
It’s been years since I last saw her. No longer a girl, she has a body of a woman. When our eyes met again, I saw the only one who ever broke through my asshole mask. She never judged me. She saw me, accepted me.

She could be anything she wanted.
Except mine.
Cause she’s only seventeen and I’m trying my hardest not to fall for her.

If I give in, she will ruin me.

This is a slow-burn, angsty love story spanning across a seven-year time period with sexual situations and drug-use involving characters under the age of eighteen.

Nothing is as it seems.

I played their games and won.

Now that I’ve earned my place, at the academy and in their home, I should have nothing to fear.

]]> 61112950 A new dark college reverse harem romance from the USA Today & WSJ bestselling author of The Sainthood Series.

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished�

Sleeping with my boyfriend’s best friend, behind his girlfriend’s back, probably wasn’t my smartest idea.

But Jase is mine, and it’s about time Julia knew it.

Attending Lowell University was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to end all the sneaking around and make our relationship official.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Julia is digging her claws into Jase.

My boyfriend, Chad, is getting in deeper with a local gang.

And my loathsome new stepbrother, Ares, has just moved in.

Ares despises Chad and Jase, and the feeling is mutual. As their rivalry escalates, Ares seems determined to use me as a pawn, and I’m trapped in the middle. It doesn’t help that he’s hot AF, knows exactly how to push my buttons, and my body hasn’t gotten the memo he’s off-limits.

I wish that were the least of my worries.

Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.

My life turns upside down the moment the dark secret society of The Luminaries is revealed to me.

Everything I thought I knew was a lie.

Now, I have lost all control over my future, and a heart-breaking new reality emerges.

One where lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and corrupting sinners to sin is my only way to survive.

But then two megastar athletes walked into my life with their own kind of games, and suddenly hiding wasn’t so easy.
Their games made me forget my issues. Made me feel safe again. Made me laugh again. Made me trust again. Made me forget I even had a reason to hide in the first place.

And with them, I ultimately agreed to the craziest game of all—a new relationship that would test friendships, boundaries, and trust.

The problem was�.once I let my guard down…�
I was found. My past intertwined with my present to complicate an already perverse situation.

Despite my past, despite the obstacles, and despite the forbidden games we play�.. can our new relationship find a happy ending?

And if we do, will I be forced to choose between them? Neither of them? Or will I get to keep them?
Both.

]]> 59798637 It’s a new semester at Regalia University, and by the end of it, five men will die.

My sister was good, kind, loving, and the Royals of Regalia bullied her till she killed herself.

I set foot on campus ready to right some wrongs when the most handsome bunch of stone-cold weirdos asked if I needed a little help�

Don’t get me started on Lucien. He fancies himself a vampire—complete with sharpened canines, cape, and a coffin, but if anyone knows how to make a man bleed, it’s him.

°Â¾±±ô»å±ð°ù’s on another level, and you’re not allowed. He’s out to expose every conspiracy from Area 51’s alien relocation program to the trackers implanted in our brains. The man doesn’t kiss a woman without patting her down twice, but if you need to get your hands on an arsenal, his is unmatched.

My growling, snapping Cato escaped his last mental institution. Now he has a new obsession: ripping out the throat of anyone who looks at me sideways. Don’t worry, he can’t bite you through the muzzle.

Then, of course, there’s their leader, Rafael. The son of a hitman dances his way around campus, and only takes his headphones off to hear the obscene amount you’ll pay him to take care of your problems. Otherwise, stay out of his blissful world, or he’ll blow it up with you inside.

These four are as determined to make up for not protecting my sister as they are to protect� and keep� me.
They’re freaks. Weirdos. Psychos. But damned if they’re not taking my heart like they do everything else—without mercy or permission.

It’s the five of us against the most powerful and untouchable of Regalia. No one thinks we can win, but I like my chances.
To take down a Royal, you need a Rogue.
And I have four.

The Rogues of Regalia is a dark contemporary reverse harem romance and book one of the series. It gets wild in these pages, if you can handle that, dive in!]]> 485 Ruby Vincent Katelyn 5 4.23

This. Book. Is. Everything. Oh, man. I binged this book in a little over a day. I was completely consumed and cared about nothing else except for reading the next page. The men are so weird and so delicious, it is the strangest yet best combination ever! Is there something wrong with me that Cato is my favorite? Probably but I am sure I am not the only one! There is so much depth to this book that I know I will have one nasty book hangover as I try to process everything. To sum it up, this book is phenomenal, which coming from Ruby is not surprising in the least. But did you really have to hit me with a cliff hanger like THAT, Ruby?! Is it February 27th yet? Because I need the next book NOW!

The problem is, she is painfully unaware of my growing obsession from the shadows.

Day and night I watch her every move, determined to keep her safe.

When the darkness comes for her, she’s going to find out she has her own shadow. One who is ready to kill anyone who gets close.

]]> 59661617 I'm Ali Hayes, a world-famous singer and actress with everything I could ever want...except maybe them.

Years of enviable friendship with the most eligible bachelors of New York? Check.

Strange growing possessiveness from my guys and blurring lines? Check.

Stirring feelings while I’m desperately holding on for fear of losing our friendship? Oh, absolutely.

When I’ve barely had more than one serious, disastrous relationship, how could I handle my growing attraction to all of them? And the guys are acting strange as well. Playboys abandoning their lifestyle, hot and cold kisses, smouldering glances�

Things start kicking into high gear when a secret stalker reveals themselves and my security team scrambles to guarantee my safety. Suddenly my guys are overwhelmingly protective. Alpha. Dominant. And everything starts to change.


SAFETY SQUAD: This is a New Adult reverse harem book, meaning there are multiple love interests for our heroine and she doesn't have to choose. Medium burn, guaranteed HEA by the end of the duet, and absolutely no cheating (and no OW drama, woo!). Just gorgeous men with eyes only for their woman.]]> 258 L. Miles Katelyn 5 3.68

]]> 57312369 When all you’ve ever known was pain?
You run.
That’s what I did—I ran away without once looking back.
People say starting over is the best way for a new beginning, but that’s far from the truth if you end up back where you began. Sometimes life likes to throw lemons at you really hard until there’s nothing left to do but make lemonade.
I’ve known pain, but not the kind that messes with my heart.
That is until Logan, Dalton, Trey, and Nicholas came into my life without a warning label.
I’m not prepared, and I’m afraid after fighting since day one...they might just be the reason I finally break.

My family is gone. My parents. My twin sister. All of them murdered by the man who has stalked me for years. He nearly killed me, too. But I got away and he’s still out there, searching for me. He won’t find me. At least, I hope not. Thanks to WITSEC, I’ve been given a new life with a new identity.

The present�

My uncle, my only living relative, has helped me glue myself back together and given me the tools I’ll need to survive. I’m not fixed and my grief is heavy, but I’m at a point where I can put one foot in front of the other to try to move on.
I know my future will be hard and lonely. I must stay strong and focus on the good. I’m getting a second chance at life. I am safe. My new home is beautiful. The four brothers who live next door are even more so. Little do I know that Colt, Creed, Keelan, and Knox will soon become my everything. It’s as if my lonely heart screamed out for someone good to find me. Four answered back.

On my seventeenth birthday, I learn a terrible secret about my family. My future is in the hands of four brutal men, and what awaits me at their hands is too terrible to imagine. Four men who desire me. Four men who vow to possess me. Four men who think they can destroy me.

As the only daughter of Coldlake’s mayor, I should be kept far, far out of their reach. Instead, I’m being thrown to them as a sacrifice. My father insists only one of them can marry me, but all of them vow to secure my promise. A promise in blood.

They take. I bleed. Happy birthday to me.

He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.

I have to stop this. It can’t happen.

My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable. Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one.
I am.

I took her in, because I thought I was helping. As the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to.

But we’re not free to give into this. She’s nineteen, and I’m thirty-eight.

Dr. Devlin Dane has had his sights set on my panties for months. But I've done a stellar job of fending him off. As Mercy Medical's most eligible bachelor, he has no problem in the panty dropping department. He's tall, dark, and inked all over. I get the appeal, I'm not dead. I'm not stupid either. He's a walking heartbreak waiting to happen.
