LUCIA: I'm thrown into a world of chaos when I hear that my family is part of the Italian mafia. No, scratch that - my family is the Italian mafia - and as tradition states, I'll be getting married to the bratva head. My world is in shambles when I see how cold and ruthless my husband is. Despite how handsome and attractive he is, I give myself one assignment; stay as far away from him as possible. But as neither my body nor my heart gets the message, I have to think of a way to conceal my emotions from him. IVAN: My life's purpose has always been to take over from my father as the head of the bratva. That's practically what I was born for; to kill and destroy. But for that to happen, I must get married, which isn't a problem since an arranged marriage to the Italian mafia princess has long been formed for us. What becomes a problem is the strange feelings that begin to steer within me the moment I'm married to my wife. Now I have another purpose added to the list; kill, destroy and love.

I was being sold. I shuddered. Whoever would buy me… “Raise your number again, and I will rip out your throat.” Whoever it was, they were violent. I heard a hiss of pain and gasps around the room. Soon after, I was dragged off the stage and down the hall again. Then, I was tossed onto something soft like a bed. “I’m going to untie you now, okay?” “You smell so good…” he groaned and placed a hand on my thigh. “What’s your name?” Staring at the two twins in front of me, I cannot find a word to say. They even told me about a world beyond my understanding. “You’re a hybrid. There are things you need to understand about our world before we take you back to the pack. Thousands of years ago, the Old Moon Goddess passed away.” “When she was alive, we were one large pack, but when she died, we split up. Currently, there are the Black Moon, Blood Moon, and Blue Moon packs. The Blue Moon Pack is the most powerful.” ******Lucy, a hybrid of human and werewolf from White Moon Pack, the second goddess of the moon, the only survivor of the White Moon Pack. She has the power to unify the wolves, and because of her special identity, her parents died at the hands of the alpha of another pack.

Nyx is a dangerous and sexy femme fatale, trained from childhood by a ruthless alpha who turned her into a weapon; to seduce and kill. She follows orders without question, especially when he promises her the one thing she’s always wanted: to be reunited with her mother. When her master sends her on a last mission to kill Kael, Blackwood, the alpha of a rival pack, she accepts without question. But nothing could prepare her for what happens next. After tracking Kael to a smoky bar on the edge of pack territory exactly as planned, Nyx finds him seated alone, dark hair, golden eyes with alpha energy. She seduces him but just as she’s about to strike, the door slams open, and in walks another man with the same face, dark hair, and golden eyes. Nyx realizes too late that her target was a twin and she’d seduced the wrong twin. Now she’s caught between the man she was sent to kill and the brother who already wants her. And neither is letting her go. Kael is her mate; dominant, brooding, and impossible to resist. Rowan is cold, dangerous, and magnetic. And then there’s Zane, the third brother; wild, seductive, and tempting in all the wrong ways. Surrounded by three powerful alpha brothers who want her in different ways. Trapped in a tangled web of lies, desire, and fate, her deadly mission goes out of control. Now she must seduce her way through secrets, betrayal, and burning passion. Every touch with the brothers pulls her deeper into their world. With the mate bond growing stronger and her mother’s life hanging in the balance, Nyx faces a deadly choice; betray the men fate chose for her or lose the only true family she has left.

On the day of the wedding, my best friend, Elena Hartman, can't bear to part with me, so she threads my wedding shoes with a string and ties them snugly around her slim waist. The groomsmen turn the whole place upside down, and we end up late for the ceremony. She eventually cracks up and tugs at her billowy bridesmaid dress, revealing the outline of the shoes at her waist. "I dare you to come take them. As long as I'm here, she's not getting married!" My fiancé, Miles Lawson, shakes his head and chuckles. "You just love tormenting us, don't you?" Miles exchanges a look with the groomsmen, and they charge at her at the same time. She squeals as she falls back onto the bed, squirming under her layers of tulle. "Don't be so rough! I'm ticklish…" The groomsmen flush bright red. Miles' ears turn scarlet as he feels around her waist. She giggles even louder. "How are you going to undo it through all these layers? Use your head!" Then, she gasped. "That tickles!" Her theatrics make my temper flare. I spring to my feet, lift her skirt, and rip the wedding shoes right off her. "If you're that ticklish, smack yourself with a slipper. Drop the act, or I'll yank out the nerves that make you ticklish!"

My boyfriend was a therapist. On the day I got diagnosed with ALS, he was busy celebrating his friend's birthday. He said, "Sophie's got depression. Without me, she could break down, hurt herself, or do worse things." To look after her, he broke up with me and moved into her place. I blocked him on everything, agreeing we'd go our separate ways.
