Nic is so much more than the Devil. The night of the auction changes everything.

I thought I knew who he was and what was going to happen next. I had no idea how wrong I was.

This is a continuation of Devil You Hate and should not be read as a standalone.

Giving my virginity to a stranger was my first mistake.

Lying about my age, my second.

Never expecting to see Lex again, my third.

He promised me one night and I took it, never expecting anything in return.

Then a few months later, I see something I shouldn’t have and fate brings us back together again. I didn’t mean to see it and I wasn’t snooping. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that doesn’t matter to them. I’m a liability.

Now Lex is everywhere I am. Following me, watching me, and making sure I don’t tell anyone what I saw that night. He’s dominating, possessive, and downright controlling sometimes. He warns me of how dangerous this could be for both of us. He tells me that he doesn’t want to hurt me, but he has no idea what seeing him again is doing to me. Not when I have secrets of my own, secrets Lex isn’t ready to hear.

When all the lies are told and secrets come out, will the promises that we made in the dark be kept in the light?

All it took was one frat party for me to notice her. Blair Jensen. Gorgeous nerd with a sharp tongue and give-no-shits attitude. The moment she sneered jock at me, I was captivated.

Then she poured a beer over my head and walked away like I was nothing. Nobody turned down Cage Wilder, nobody, and I knew then that I had to have her, no matter the consequences.

She bruised my ego and embarrassed me in front of my football buddies, turning me into the laughing stock of the team, so I made a bet with them. They claimed there wasn’t any way I could melt the heart of Blair the Ice Queen; after all, she had shown her disgust for me.

Shutting off my feelings after we spend many late nights studying together isn’t easy, and it doesn’t take long for me to discover there is so much more to Blair than what everyone sees.

Sweet, funny as hell, and a believer in happily-ever-afters. I start to fall for her, but she has secrets too, things she’s hiding, a past that haunts her, and I find I want to save her, help her.

She sees me for more than a football god, and she doesn’t take any of my shit. Suddenly, I realize there is so much more to life than living someone else’s dream. The bet I made still hovers over my head though, and I know that if I want more with her, an actual chance, I’ll have to tell her the truth … before someone else does. Question is, will she still want me when she finds out what I’ve done?

Welcome to Hell, little one.

Alaric

Monroe was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I should’ve killed her when I had the chance. But instead, to make her keep my secrets, I took her freedom and made her my captive. She swore she’d hate me forever, but that was before I stole her innocence, too. Now she knows how good my forbidden touch feels, and it won’t take long before she transforms into the broken toy I’ve always wanted. And after that, there will be no going back …

Monroe

The first time I met Alaric, he fired a bullet into an innocent man’s head. He’s a hitman. The worst scum on the planet. He kills for a living and wrecks lives for fun. Now he’s my jailor, the only one who holds the key to my gilded cage. He says he’ll never let me go. He says he’ll force me to keep his secrets. He says I’ll kneel for him. But even he knows I’ll never, ever love a monster. And Alaric’s the devil himself.

This is a full-length, standalone dark mafia romance set in the Black Hearts world.

I went to a sex club to lose my virginity, but all I got was the attention of a man I should’ve stayed far away from.

Nicholas is dark, dangerous, and charming. When he fails to sweep me off my feet, he finds another way to claim me. Now, locked away in his secluded mansion, I either give him what he wants or risk facing his wrath.

This is a dark game, and if I’m not careful I could end up dead—if I don’t lose my soul to him first.

One year ago, I got saddled with keeping her safe, virginal, and out of her father’s business. Little did I know, the spitfire would become my newest obsession.

Pretending I don’t want her is easy enough. Ignoring her advances is hard but not impossible.At every corner, she pushes me, crawls under my skin, and makes my icy cold heart beat again. She makes me want her so badly I’m almost bursting to possess her.

Knowing the secrets her father is keeping from her, and the fate that will bestow her sooner or later, leads me down a path that neither of us will come back from.

Caught between duty and desire, which will I choose? I promised her father I’d keep her safe, and she is safe … safe from everyone except me.

Ballet is the only thing I’ve ever had, my only reprieve from my sad life after my father died and my mom turned to the streets.

My only option is to call them: Kane and Cash Hale.

From the moment I met the two terrifying, yet gorgeous, men I knew to cross their paths would mean trouble.

I can’t trust the cops and I’m afraid I’ll end up in jail without their help.

Except their help comes with a cost … a cost that involves both my body and my soul.

Betrayal cuts the deepest.

I would know better than anyone.

They never suspected me to be the villain.

That didn’t matter anymore, though, because I didn’t just want revenge, I needed it.

Leaving my old life behind, I knew I could never return, but there was something … no, someone I had left behind.

Scarlett.

Kind. Innocent. Fragile.

She was a light in the darkness of my life.

Back then, she was always meant to be mine, even if having her meant breaking every single rule.

Now, enemies or not, she would still be mine.

I’ll fight until the very end, but will it be enough?
