Meine beste Freundin Maya war aus Miami eingeflogen – für meine Junggesellinnenwoche. Meine letzten Tage in Freiheit. Sie bestand auf einem Mädelsabend zu Hause, bestellte all mein Lieblings-Takeout. Dann bat sie mich, kurz ihr Handy zu halten und zu warten. Plötzlich leuchtete das Display auf. Eine Nachricht von irgendeinem Typen. Ein oberkörperfreies Foto. Text: Ich brauche dich heute Nacht. Ein weiteres Bild vibrierte herein. Sexspielzeug. Bondage-Ausrüstung – wie direkt aus einem Film. Mir brannte das Gesicht. Mein Herz hämmerte gegen die Rippen. Ich stürzte gerade in ihr geheimes Leben. Doch das nächste Bild ließ mir das Blut in den Adern gefrieren. Eine Nahaufnahme der Brust des Mannes. Eine gezackte Narbe – vertrauter als mein eigenes Spiegelbild. Sie gehörte meinem Verlobten. Luciano Carbone.

A Feral Curse swept through the werewolf world. Those wolves touched by it become monsters that devour their own packmates; others die in agony as the infection burns through them. The survivors formed an Alliance to fight back. I fought alongside my mate, Alpha Liam, until the very end. Until rescue finally came. But our transport was seconds from takeoff. That’s when Liam's first love, an omega named Chloe, ran back. All for a beat-up music box. Liam insisted we wait. The feral pack was closing in. I had no choice. I forced the ramp shut. Chloe was torn apart by ferals. Back at the Alliance base, I thought we were safe. I was wrong. That night, Liam knocked me out and threw me to a captured feral wolf. The infection was pure agony. It felt like my veins were erupting from the inside out. I died alone in a cold, empty cell. His last words echoed in my mind through our link: "You let Chloe die. It's your turn to feel what she felt." Then I opened my eyes. I was back. Back on the airfield. On the day he refused to leave. I saw the feral pack in the distance, and a cold smile touched my lips. He wants to save Chloe so badly? Fine. This time, they can die together.

When Alex discovers a devastating truth linking their pasts, he's forced into an impossible choice that could cost him everything,including Damien's heart. In a world of power and deception, can two men build something real, or will their secrets tear them apart?

Ma meilleure amie, Maya, est arrivée pour ma semaine d'enterrement de vie de jeune fille. Mes derniers jours de liberté. Elle a insisté pour qu'on fasse une soirée entre filles à la maison pour fêter ça, en commandant tous mes plats préférés. Elle m'a demandé de tenir son téléphone et d'attendre un instant. Puis l'écran s'est allumé. Un message d'un mec. Une photo torse nu. Le texte disait : « J'ai besoin de toi ce soir. » Une autre image est apparue aussitôt. Des sex-toys. Du matériel de bondage, tout droit sorti d'un film. Mon visage s'est embrasé. Mon cœur cognait violemment contre ma poitrine. Je venais de tomber par hasard sur sa vie secrète. Mais l'image suivante a glacé mon sang. Un gros plan sur le torse de l'homme. Une cicatrice irrégulière, profondément marquée. Je la connaissais mieux que mon propre reflet. Elle appartenait à mon fiancé, Luciano Carbone.

Ava is on the run for a crime punishable by death: killing a dragon. As a human-dragon hybrid, Ava has never doubted the godlike dragons’ dominance. Her life has been sheltered beneath their stained-glass wings in the city in the sky—until she murders one. Hunted, she flees to the human desert below the floating city. Yet she’s not alone. Though he doesn’t know the crime she’s running from, Vito, the dragon Ava serves, refuses to abandon her to the harsh world of humans. Paired to be her master and she his caretaker, their friendship has always meant more than titles. The desert holds no sanctuary for them. The long-suffering ground dwellers are tired of having their water supply monopolized by the dragons above and want all dragon-kind dead—including Ava and Vito. Surrendering to the dragons isn’t an option with Vito by her side, and the rebellion has offered a tempting deal. They will keep Ava alive and hide her crime, but only if she reveals the weaknesses of dragon-kind and the secrets of her city. Ava must choose between her life and everything she once called home—including Vito, the closest thing to family she has left.

Will Ruby be able to navigate through this dangerous path? Massimo could take a bullet for her and all she wanted was her freedom, not bullets, violence and gangs. "Let me go, Massimo. I'm cutting off this agreement!" "You'd fucking obey me, Freckles. The contract isn't over... not even anytime soon." He scowled, pinning her against the wall as she trembled at his touch.
