Novels by Brie

JADE My pulse quickens as I spring to my feet. There's something out there. Something deadly and territorial. I can feel it in every sense of my being. Another growl rumbles through the small garden, and in a split second, I see it. Fierce golden eyes blazing unblinking from behind a thick row of hedges. Goosebumps scatter across my skin and I stumble back. “What is that?” The eyes start to move forward and my breath disappears down my throat. I turn around to flee and crash into a solid wall. Before I can retreat, a strong hand slides protectively around my waist and rests on the small of my back. My skin sizzles where those fingers touch me. I recognize the primal scent of a predator instantly. It mixes a familiar body scent and drives me wild in a way I can’t explain. An uncontrollable sigh of disappointment escapes my lips as he pulls away. “Stay here,” Knight says as he glides towards whatever is out there. I watch him cautiously, not quite sure what he's abou

JADE“Knight, I didn't see you there.” Avery backs away from Soren and gives her son a sweet smile. “That's because you're too busy fawning over the man that came and stole away your stepdaughter without consent.” The anger in his voice pulls my gaze to his face. My breath disappears down my lungs as he turns and smolders me with those brown eyes. The same mind-numbing, static electricity cracks through my veins. For a few hot seconds, it's difficult to pull my gaze away. His presence does crazy things to my body. It swallows up everything around us, so he's all I see. He looks devastatingly handsome in a charcoal black button-down, with sleeves rolled up to forearms lined with thick veins that make my mouth run dry. My nipples pebble under the burgundy slip dress, and as if he can sense them harden, his eyes slide down and lingers. The way they flash behind the square glasses make my pussy clench uncontrollably.Why does he keep staring? It's rude, and it heats me up in a way I

JADE“Your father wants to meet.”“What?” I laugh. “Meet with who?” Soren is watching me steadily, like he's trying to read me. “Told him I'll think about it. It's nothing to worry about.” He pauses and cocks his head. “Come here.” I glide across the space to my husband, a little absent-minded. As his thick arms wrap around me, I try to convince myself that he's mistaken. Jaxon Morningstar is relieved about my absence in his life. I've been missing from his orbit for three whole years, and he's never cared to search for me.Isn't it funny and strange, how the heiress of a major business group in North America goes missing and there's hardly anything in the news about it? For three years, I searched. With the hope that maybe…just maybe…someone out there cared enough for me to ask questions, to create awareness. But the heiress of Morningstar Group has never been that relevant. No one took me seriously when I was around, why would they care when I'm gone? It no longer mattered to

JADE My heart drops to my stomach and I instinctively back away from Knight. “Right here,” I assure in a rushed breath as Soren bursts forward, eyes wild. “Lance is safe and sound.” I watch as he swoops down and pulls Lance into a tight hug. For a split second, I wonder how he found us so fast. “What happened?” “He was just behind me one second, when I was on the phone with you. And the next, he's gone. Somehow…Knight found him.” Soren’s jaw ticks as he rises. “I see.” Knight did not flinch from Soren’s intimidating stare. Any normal human would, because there is just something so uncanny about Soren’s eyes. “Your son wandered over to me in this aisle where I shopped for household basics.” Knight shrugs. “Apparently, he was attracted by the bubble wand in my hand. I asked him about his parents and he said his beautiful mommy is getting cereal. And that's how I find Jade, going crazy looking for her kid.” His eyes find me and burn with an underlying curiosity. My body t

JADE I try not to swallow too hard for fear of his canines sinking into my neck with even the slightest movement. “Knight?” A nervous laugh spills from my lips. “How would I feel about him? Honestly, he's not relevant in any way.” Soren’s teeth linger on the spot for a moment too long. Thump. Thump. My blood pounds in my ears. My veins throb violently. “He’s just a stepbrother I didn't even get the chance to know.” Did passionate intimate knowledge even count? “It feels to me like you loathe him.” Soren’s cock moves inside me again. I gasp and throw my head against his chest, arching my back to give him what he wants…anything to make him stop talking about Knight. “Trust me,” I moan, “I couldn't care less about him.” Soren wraps his fingers around my throat and thrust in harder. “That’s my girl.” As soon as his idea of lovemaking is over, I wrap a warm, fluffy robe around my body and head to Lancelot’s room, silently hoping that Soren is gone by the time I’m back

JADE“Your stepbrother can't seem to take his eyes off you.”Those are the words Soren said to me a few moments ago, that instantly sets me on edge. When I look across the space in the same moment, and see Knight still watching me, I can't help the blush that stains my cheeks and spreads down to my neck. The greeting of guests had drifted us further away from the Graves couple, which is a bit of a relief, to be honest.I’m afraid my husband would notice how my body keeps betraying me next to my stepbrother. Soren is looking at me intently, with the same affection distinct to those red eyes of his alone. A hiccup rises from my gut. “He obviously can't believe I'm alive,” I cover up with a nervous laugh. “I disappeared for three years, remember? They probably hoped I was dead.”Soren’s eyes soften as he drapes his arm around my neck, turning us away from Knight and Camille. “Then there's me, who wants you by my side forever. One good ally is better than a number of enemies, love.”I

LUCIANO Her soft plea undid the last bit of self control holding me together. The hunger tore me apart. Ripping me from inside out. It did not matter that I’d been neutered by that bastard’s surprising blade and was in pain only moments ago. The pain had disappeared into oblivion, buried by a shitload of desire. I pushed my wife against the wall and pressed my erection into her lower back. I was rock hard for her soft, delicious smelling body, pulsing thickly in my pants as I brushed against her ass.“I’ll fuck you as you wish, princess.” I unzipped my pants with quivering fingers and whipped my cock out of my pants, stroking it roughly. “So tell me,” I leaned down and whispered in her ear, “do you want me from the front or behind?” Her cheeks colored crimson against the creamy wall as she stumbled over her jumbled words. “Fuck it,” I cursed silently and spun her around to face me. I fondled her breast with one hand and parted her thighs with the other. “I want to look into your

QUINN “What do you mean…forever?” I hated the way the words left my lips in a desperate whisper. Like a thirsty plea. Luciano took a step towards me, wincing and clutching his side. The bleeding had trickled to a considerable extent. In fact, he seemed fine, except for a wince here and there. “I'll divorce you, properly.”I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest to hide the sudden tremors. “You really think you're Lord over my life, don't you? You do with it whatever you please, whenever you please? Pick me up whenever you wish and toss me to the side when you get bored?” His face remained impassive as he watched me. I hated him so much right then. Not just for the fact that he was an asshole who was also technically my murderer, but also because he did not seem to care about his wife at all. “I know you think I'm a jerk. I don't care, anyway. All I care about is keeping you safe.”“Ha!” I threw my head back in a bitter laugh. “You know, it's funny. Coming from you.”He shook

QUINNYou said you would protect me. It was the first thought in my head as my skull cracked hard against the marble floor. Pain instantly flooded my vision, colliding with the dread that filled me.Luciano said he would protect me. And here I was, about to lose my life again because I made the stupid, impulsive decision to protect him instead. He’s a supernatural being, for God’s sake. Why did I not just let him handle this? And where the hell is everyone? Oh. I forgot Luciano rented out the entire diner for the period we were supposed to be here. So of course. There was no one to come to our aid right now. But what about local cops? Some security guards or something?The chaos going on in my head was violently ripped off when I felt hands on my neck. Big, fat hands that wrapped around my throat like a cobra and snapped the air from my lungs. “You stupid bitch!” The big man’s saliva flew in my face. “Think you can take me on, huh?!”I gagged and gurgled, my arms flailing as I t

QUINNI had barely registered the warning when his body fell over mine with an overwhelming force and sent us both tumbling to the ground with a loud thud. The sound of shattering glass filled the air in the background, somehow muffled by Luciano’s large arms wrapped around me. The sporadic shooting continued, but I felt safe, far away from it. Because Luciano was next to me. Holding me close like I was the most precious thing to him in the world. If only he knew who I really was inside this body. Would he still protect me like this?“Are you okay?” His soothing whisper reverberated through my body, reminding me yet again of that night I fell for him on that bridge. He was a total stranger back then, Quinn. That was before you knew the evil he was capable of! Glass fell around us. In a thousand splinters, I could tell. But I did not feel a single prickle from a cut or the force of being hit, and I knew it was thanks to the fact that I was thoroughly covered with Luciano’s large b

QUINNThe haze disappeared as soon as my skull cracked forcefully against a hard surface. A wail of agony tumbled past my lips as sharp, blinding pain shot through my head and spread down to my neck and my back. Panting hard, I looked around to find myself trapped in an askew position. Caught in the halved trunk of a bow-shaped shrub. Hanging upside down. My breathing was uneven, loud and raspy. I retched up even more of what was leftover from my first glaring fuck up. Tears rolled down my eyes alongside the other slimy liquid. Down the sloppy forest where I would have slipped and died if my dress hadn't caught onto this trunk.“God,” I murmured, hating the bitter taste in my mouth and itching to rinse it out. “I should not have gotten into the trunk of his car in the first place. I cannot believe this is the moment where I accept that he's right and I'm wrong. Fuck.”On and on I rambled. I could only remember bits and pieces of the last few hours. And they were not pleasant memor

LUCIANOBig men standing above 6ft glared at my wife and I as they circled us in Dante Tallavera's tennis court, cats ready to pounce on mice. But what they did not know was that in fact…I was far from a mouse. I was the threat they never saw coming. My fingers involuntarily tightened around Lilith's soft and slender ones cocooned inside. I looked over at her. She was smiling up at me with rosy cheeks and glazed-over eyes. Fuck. If she kept looking at me like that, I wouldn't be able to stop myself. I feared I would jump right over and snatch her up, rip her dress right here—after I'd gouged out everyone else's eyes—and drop hot, wet kisses all over her face and neck.It was what I craved at the moment…and the thought stiffened my cock in my pants.I cleared my throat and steeled my mind to act right and stop thinking dirty thoughts. “Are you ready?” She wiggled her brows at me. “For?” I lifted my gaze and swept it around the faces surrounding us. The men had guns pointed at us,
