They say I’m a rich, bitter a**hole who isn’t capable of normal feelings.
Well, they say a lot of things.
And they don’t know shit.
You don’t become a billionaire without a strain of obsession bubbling within you. Strong and true, like a deep blue pilot light.
It’s true, I don’t suffer fools. And I don’t have time to become emotionally involved.
I loved once before. This is my curse. It keeps me focused.
Until I see Stacy’s ad. The office intern, auctioning off her virginity for charity, right there on the screen.
A gorgeously seductive photo, followed by some of the dirtiest erotic fantasies I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
And they’re about me. Her boss.
I’ll be damned if one of these tasteless men with no appreciation for this smart, beautiful angel will be her first.
If anyone has her, it’s going to be me.
Like I said, I’m a man of obsession.

I’ve been in love with Emma since we were thirteen years old.
That part is real. But nothing else they say about me is true.
The way she looks at me from across the room, how she makes my old T-shirts look good, how perfect she feels when she’s in my arms. That’s what I want to picture when I think about Emma. Not a crazy auction where she gives it up to some random creep.
I can’t let it happen. I won’t let it happen.
Despite the tattoos, despite the rumors, despite my reputation as a class-A player—there’s never been anyone else. In my bed or in my heart.
It’s always been Emma.

A face like an angel. The thought of someone taking advantage of her makes my blood boil.
Eli is blindsided by Ash’s innocent allure. The instant pull she has on him and the way she makes him feel again.

Caught between duty and desire, reality and fiction, Eli continues the ruse as the intensity of his relationship with Ash deepens.
I’m not a wealthy businessman. I’m a cop who barely has two nickels to rub together.
When Ash comes clean about her reasons for auctioning off her virginity, Eli’s decision is made.
I want her in my life, in bed and in my heart indefinitely.
He could never turn the girls in and risk losing Ash forever. But will Ash stay once she learns the truth about him?

He’s not known as the bad boy of baseball for nothing.
It all started with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.
Fortunately for his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.
By the time his uncle, the successor to his father’s criminal empire, thinks to look for him, Rhys has made too big of a name for himself to be taken out quietly, and he wants to keep it that way.
Fast forward eight years, and Rhys is living life one breath at a time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.
Her sweet little body and positive outlook on life make him want to laugh at how naïve she is when it comes to the way of the world.
The harder he tries to stay away, the weaker he seems to get, until one day he decides to put his morals on hold long enough to satisfy his cravings.
One time is all he needs—or so he tells himself.
But then two pink lines change everything, and suddenly, he doesn’t have just himself to worry about anymore.

From the very beginning, Ivy Blackwood was different. She was only a child when she was accused of setting the fire, one she passively watched engulf the small house she had called home. Her fingertips burned and her hair singed. Some who watched her crossed themselves, convinced she was soulless for she showed no emotion at all. Calm and dispassionate, even when the screaming started that quickly turned to bellows of agony before dying into nothing but the roaring of the fire.
She was locked away where she couldn’t bring harm to herself or others. To all involved, they had protected the world from a monster, but sometimes things are not what they seem.
