Love is the one thing you can't steal. Nessa Griffin leads a lonely life. Too compassionate and gentle for the underworld business she grew up in, she fills no role in her family's mafia empire, struggling to prove herself both at home and in her highly competitive ballet corps. Mikolaj Wilk is the most vicious gangster in Chicago, and he's hellbent on revenge. His adoptive father saved him from the streets of Warsaw only to die at the hands of the Griffins. As part of his vengeance, Mikolaj abducts Nessa, holding her captive in his moldering gothic mansion. She might not deserve to pay for her family's crimes, but in this world, the wolves eat the lambs no matter how gentle and innocent they may be. But even as Mikolaj plots the destruction of everything the Griffins hold dear, he finds himself fixated on his captive, wanting this ballerina to dance only for him. Meanwhile, Nessa finds herself lost in the growing tension between her and her kidnapper, their twisted relationship building in new, terrifying ways. He is the beast to her beauty-but can Nessa find the man inside before he gives into his hunger?

Two people convinced they're unworthy of love...until they meet each other. Camille Rivera is drowning. Her father's sick, her brother's in deep with a dirty cop, and her mechanic shop is failing. She's growing desperate, trying to keep her world afloat in whatever way she can. Nero Gallo is the neighborhood hazard. A mess-maker. A walking disaster. Camille has watched him burn through every girl in a ten-mile radius, as vicious as he is gorgeous, breaking hearts and never, ever getting attached. Which is why she can't believe it when Nero unexpectedly saves her from a risky situation. They've lived next to each other their whole lives, yet she's only ever known him as sin made flesh. Is it possible she didn't really know him at all? They aren't friends. They aren't allies. But Nero is the only chance Camille has, and she'll have to trust there's more to him beneath the savage surface. Except trust is a dangerous thing to give. And Camille is about to learn the only thing more dangerous than trusting Nero is falling for him.

When you get a second chance, you don't wait for a third...Simone Solomon lives in a gilded cage. She's been raised to wealth, privilege, and above all, obedience. But one night, on her way to another tedious gala in the back of a limousine, Simone is abducted by a mafioso who intended to steal a car, not a girl...and everything changes.Dante Gallo looks like a beast and behaves like one, too-until he lays eyes on Simone in the rearview mirror and falls hard and fast for his accidental hostage.

They're willing to risk everything for each other, but with one disastrous move, they're split apart again.After nine years of ignoring Simone's perfect face on billboards and magazines, Dante thinks he's finally moved on...but then he sees her in the flesh. He hasn't forgotten. Neither has she. And now, fate has granted them a chance to reconnect.But Simone has a secret. A mistake she fears even a beast like Dante will never forgive her for.Perhaps what fate has really given them is the chance to make each other's hearts bleed all over again.

He's no prince charming. Callum Griffin is the heir to the Irish Mafia. He's ruthless, arrogant, and he wants to kill me. We got off on the wrong foot when I set a (very small) fire in his house. Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn't so damned good-looking. But I've got a lockbox around my heart. Because even if I'm forced to marry him. I could never love a brutal prince.

Ochrání ji, ať se jí to líbí, nebo ne. Riona Griffinová je nádherná, inteligentní a tvrdohlavá žena, odhodlaná zapsat se do rodinné historie i bez muže po svém boku. Když ale přežije nečekaný útok na svou osobu, její rodina si jako jejího bodyguarda najme Raylana Boonea – rančera, vojáka a jižanského chlapce s šarmem, kterého má na rozdávání. Ale Riona ho nesnáší. Myslí si, že nikoho nepotřebuje, ale Raylan ví jistě, že ano, a to právě jeho. Koneckonců ji pronásleduje zabiják, který nikdy nemine cíl. Aby ji udržel v bezpečí, bude Raylan muset v dohledné době zůstat po jejím boku ve dne v noci. Riona si možná myslí, že je to osud horší než smrt, ale jakmile se ocitnou sami na Raylanově rodinném ranči, chemie mezi nimi začne působit – a všechno se změní. Raylan ví, že by se ho Riona mohla naučit milovat, ale nejdřív ji musí udržet naživu. Nájemný vrah ji nedostane bez boje.
