Taryn Cornick believes that the past - her sister's violent death, and her own ill-conceived revenge - is behind her, and she can get on with her life. She has written a successful book about the things that threaten libraries: insects, damp, light, fire, carelessness and uncaring...but not all of the attention it brings her is good.

Like every man, I had a type. Except Indra was the total opposite of that. She was exactly what I needed. But with her came an ultimatum I never expected. I was forced to choose between my family and her.

I've learned many lessons throughout my life, but one is more important than the rest: My life is not my own. I understand this more every single day with the actions my family commit. They've arranged for me to marry a clan leader. There's only one problem - I won't be marrying him. I'll be murdering him.

I've never been the type to get on the wrong side of the law until the day I did. I was given two options, to either go to jail for a very long time or become an agent for the CIA. I'm unlike any other agent, though. Most of my colleagues don't have families like I do. You see, I'm Romanian and the purest of blood flows through my veins. Since time has passed I believe I was targeted because of who I know. Otherwise I wouldn't have been sent on this mission, to take down Franco Falcone of the New York Crime Family.

She only came into our lives on a whim because we outsmarted the woman who was trying to double cross us. While I hated Sakura at first her actions have proven she’s not only as loyal as they come, but has undeniable honor. Now all I want to do is wrap her in my arms and tell her it’s going to be okay, that we’ll survive the battle with her family. But will we? Sakura isn’t just any gorgeous Japanese woman. She’s Sakura Kobayashi, daughter of the Yakuza and her father has put a bounty on her head.

My Prez thinks I betrayed his trust...but I didn't. I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I went to the one person who just might believe my ass - the national charter Prez, Rancid. Fortunately for me, he believed every word I told him and had me lay low for a while. The plan he made was foolish at best and got me in deeper shit than I was in before. I'm a dead man, but none of it matters when my eyes see the one thing I'd gamble with. Her.

Lacey was the one person I could never have. She was off-limits in every sense of the word. I went to my family's lake house and found her in the guest house. Little did I know she asked my father if she could spend her last free summer in the one place she adored. That summer the devil tempted me, putting forbidden fruit right in front of my very eyes. I did such a good job at keeping my distance until the night of her 18th birthday. She was officially a woman, and there wasn't another reason to keep my desires at bay.

They say when you know, you know. The only thing I knew the second I met her was that she was crazier than I was, and that made me crave her even more. Only, things never work out the way you think they will. She was hiding shit from me but more than that, she was hiding something from the club. After her betrayal I swore I wouldn't love again, but just as I swore off women someone else came into the picture. A breathtaking vixen that was sure to change my mind.

My prez sent me to be part of a security detail on Bellamy Mason, his wife’s little half-sister. I’ll admit, I wasn’t exactly liking the idea at first. I felt like I was being sent on a fools errand. There were much more important things I could’ve been doing back at the club. Joke was on me, 'cause little by little she weaseled herself into my pants, and then my heart. Turns out Bellamy isn’t so innocent after all. We can’t keep it a secret forever...or can we?

I don't know what it is about this stranger that sparks a fire deep inside me. He makes me question everything about my life. I met him one time when he was in the bar with a buddy of his. Weeks have gone by, and I haven't seen him, but I know where he is. He's a Reaper, and these bastards are easy to find.

My father gave me an ultimatum. He should really know better than that. I was set to marry Isabella, the daughter of a prestigious accountant for one of the Clans. He's been pressuring me for years to get married to extend our lineage - basically, to open up a baby-making factory. I may be marrying a woman, but it sure as hell won't be a boring little virgin girl. I want defiance in the highest form, and how better to achieve that than marrying a slave?

Who would've known what I'd find in that fucking basement. More importantly, who knew what I was gonna do. It felt natural, to take off my cut and place it over her shoulders. She'd been exposed for god knows how long, and all I could think is that I didn't want another man's eyes raking over her body. In putting my cut over her, I was claiming her as mine. Alexa may not know it, but she's my lost little lamb and I won't let anyone harm her ever again.

I changed every part of myself for him. At first, I thought it was because I loved him. Eventually, I realized that what he did to me was the most disgusting form of emotional abuse. He made me feel as if the authentic parts of me were wrong - that I was ugly. One night, after I had been through hell, I ran to my best friend Natasha's house. I wanted the comfort of my best friend - to hold me and tell me everything would be okay.

My entire life I’ve gotten into my fair share of trouble. It started when I was young and progressively has gotten worse over the years. But for the first time ever I’ve found myself in a compromising position - backed into a corner. Forced to run to the one person on this planet who doesn’t view me as a callous creature, I go to the only blood I have left. My daughter, boss, the Prez of the Iron Vex MC. There’s no chance to save my soul, but I will save my club by doing the only thing I can. The demons of Hell will be no more. It’s time for a new era.

There’s nothing that shouldn’t have ruined us. She works for the FBI, and I’m the president of the Skulls Renegade MC. Her job was to take us down...to ruin everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve. She came into my life as a lie, and has stayed here as...what exactly? I know that I can’t let her go, but how can I trust her now? How am I supposed to trust anything she says?

I owed Mariana so much. I’d betrayed not only her, but The Clans - my country, my people; my own flesh and blood. With so much lost because of me, when Mariana gave me a chance at redemption I was quick to take it. I was needed in the Ukraine, and so I went. But now a vicious woman named Vera is throwing me off my game, and, despite all my preparations and all of my research, I knew nothing of this woman. I owed Mariana so much, and, though I knew nothing of her, she knew enough about me to make that impossible. She knew that I would sooner die than go back on my word.

Throughout my entire life, I've only wanted one thing - independence. It might seem easy, but it's quite the contrary. It's nothing but a myth in my family because my life is not my own. It never has been, and it never will be. At least, not until now. I made a deal with my father to gain some aspect of freedom. I would marry a Romanian Clan leader to unite their vast mafia with our family hitman business. Two powerful families coming together, creating the most feared partnership in the world.

She’s always belonged to me, even when she wasn’t with me. We didn’t work well in past, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work well now. She understands every broken part of me, more so then my own flesh and blood. I didn’t do a good job being her man when we were kids, and now’s the time to make up for that. Even as everything is going to shit around us, I’m determined to show her that we were always meant to be.

Things weren’t always so complicated; they used to be simple, but I guess that’s because I never really knew who Natasha was in the first place. We met on a whim, because she was in a sinfully tight dress and I was horny as could be. Her beauty caught my eye, but her heart captured my soul. She found me in a compromising situation, and there were two options. I could kill her, or I could keep her. I’d never allow anyone else to have her, but now she hates me for everything I’ve done. Will my actions tear us apart, or will she finally understand the life she was born into?

First rule: Don’t sleep with the man who’s invested in your company. I broke it before I even knew who he was, but either way, I know that he would have gotten under my skin. What’s not to love about Logan? He’s handsome, 100 percent alpha, and is resilient in his business. Everything about him is sexy. I don’t know what this is or what it will become, but I fear the day that my secrets catch up with me.
