ROYAL SAVAGE I CAN'T CLOSE MY EYES... I refuse to. Every time I do, all I see is blood, death, and pain. I can feel it - almost taste it, bringing me back to that night. It doesn't matter that I'm still breathing; I no longer need it, I no longer want it. I despise it along with everything else around me. The only thing I long for is to fucking fade away. I've given up. Until her at least... AVALON. She comes into my world, knocking me on my ass. It turns me on to have her around me. Makes me want to wrap my hand around her tight little throat and fuck her until she feels my pain, feels the monster in me, but also makes me want to protect her from the very thing that she should be afraid of... me. Once she sees the damage that I'm capable of; she'll look at me like everyone else around me does: with fear. AVALON KNIGHT HIS EYES... THE DARKNESS IN them draws me to him, making me want to taste him, feel him... and save him. I shouldn't have gotten on the back of his motorcycle that day. I know that now. Colton warned me. I was told it was dangerous. I was told that nothing would be the same. He was right. ROYAL is dangerous, dark, and seductive; the very thing that keeps me hanging on, willing to give my last breath just to touch him... breathe him in. He's savage, inked, and highly captivating. So different from his brother... He's hazardous to my health, mind, and body, yet the only thing that I crave. I want to free him. I want to change his mind, but I'm afraid that he's already too faded...

We both know she secretly wants me and always has.One way or another, I will get her to finally admit it, even if it involves losing my brother. I plan to play dirty - real dirty - just like he did.

Steal You Away

From New York Times Bestselling author of the Walk of Shame Series, comes a new, steamy standalone novel. Micah Beck is tempting, talented and addictive to the last drop. Not to mention, he's completely confident in all that he does. Especially with those fingers and I can't deny that it's such a turn on. Micah is the last thing I expect to find wandering around my brother's beach house, naked, only wearing an acoustic guitar, but he's the first thing that has ever had me craving for just one 'anything goes' night. My plan was to come visit my brother for the summer and hopefully find a little inspiration for my book at my brother's bar on the beach. A little inspiration is more than what I get slapped with. Talk about wanting to make love to a voice. I never knew exactly what that meant until I heard Micah playing at Vortex, but now just the thought of anything that has to do with that man's tongue, leaves my whole body vibrating with a hunger I'm not sure I can fight. Just one taste. One night. No strings. I'm a liar if I said I thought that would be possible because if I thought his guitar playing abilities were hot, seeing him in charge, demanding orders at Vortex has me completely coming undone and about ready to fall at his feet and give him anything he desires, despite the fact that my brother warned us to stay away from each other. He's a master at getting whatever he wants with little or no effort at all and I can't help but to hope he wants me. Micah is cocky with a body that screams trouble with every rock-hard muscle. He's wrong in every way and... I'm completely strung.

Strung

Slade Merrick is a sex addict. Other people see that as a problem, but he sees it as passion. When he meets Aspen he finds that he wants more for the first time in his life.

Slade

JAXON KADE I can't breathe... I don't want to. With every breath that fills my lungs, I feel the pain she's fighting and it's killing me slowly, reminding me of the day she got ripped away. I've gone thirteen years without her, and as if she was never gone, she walks back into my life, feisty as h@ll and set on running from me. I refuse to let that happen. She's my Lex. It doesn't matter if I have to destroy everything in my path that leads to her-I will. I've been in love with her since the age of nine. I lost her once, and you better d@mn well believe that I will walk through the fires of Hell before losing her again. She's broken... Ripped apart by the world. I'm making it my mission to piece her back together again and claim her as mine. Every part of her sexy body has been possessed by me. I know she sees she's not the only one who has changed with time. I'm rough, savage, and just as damaged as she is. But there's one thing I'm capable of-always have been-and that is loving her. I promise to do everything in my power to show her, no matter what it takes or how much it hurts. ALEXANDRA ADAMS I never thought I'd lay eyes on Jax Kade again, and the moment I realized the rough, edgy man I allowed to take me home and have rough sex with me was him... my world came crashing down around me. I'm no good for him. Not for the sweet, protective Jax that took care of me back when no one else would. I'm damaged, unrepairable... I need medicine to escape this reality-the pills, c@caine, and liquor aren't even enough to numb the pain of my past. Years without Jax destroyed me-ruined me forever-and being back in his life will only ruin him the same. I could never do that to my beautiful Jax. I never meant to find him, and I sure as hell never meant to want him again as much as I did before we were ripped apart. It doesn't matter that I need to stay away from him. It doesn't matter that I fight to keep my distance. Jax refuses to let me go. He doesn't care how messed up I am. My biggest fear is destroying the only person I've ever been capable of loving, but he's not giving me any other choice...

Beautiful Savage

"The feeling I have in this very moment, after not seeing her for so long, will haunt me forever, reminding me why I left to begin with." For as long as I can remember, Easton Crews has been off-limits. As much as it kills me, that's never going to change. After his little disappearing act three years ago, then suddenly showing up out of nowhere, I shouldn't want anything to do with him. It doesn't matter how beautiful he still is. Or how close we once were. It shouldn't matter that my entire body lights on fire with need whenever he gets close. He chose the worst possible time to leave without so much as a goodbye. However, just like the first day he walked into our home, I'm drawn to him, needing him near me just as badly as I need air to breathe, and I can't stand it. I want to hate him. I know I should hate him. But hating him is the last thing he'll let me do. I push, he pulls harder, until I'm completely wrapped up in him, my mind lost in the one person who is forbidden--the one person I've always loved, even when he belonged to someone else. Easton was never meant to be mine. It took me years to come to terms with that and now that I finally have, he's here, right in front of me, more irresistible than ever. The part I fear the most about that--he's the one person capable of completely wrecking my world. "I'm not leaving until you take all of your hate out on me. Let me feel it. All of it. Every dirty look. Every nasty word. I will have it all before I leave. Stop hiding from me."

Wreck My World

Sex Material

Sexy, tattooed and inevitably dangerous. Memphis is all that and more... I live for the pain; it's what drives me to keep moving. But there comes a time when one has to push the demons aside in order to survive. I thought I buried them deep. I thought I was ready to finally live. Until... my brother, Alex; he throws me into the fire-right into the place I could never control myself, the one place I never want to be again. When I put my hands on people, they get hurt. Things happen that bring me back to that night. The one that will forever torment me. I'm doing fine, keeping to myself in order to ensure no one gets hurt by me. Then along comes Lyric, and all I want to do is touch her, to put my hands in places that I know will only lead to her being crushed by me. She's the rush that I crave. The darkest of poison running through my veins, killing me bit by bit; like a drug I can't get enough of even though I'm almost down to my last breath. And being around her only hurts more, but what she doesn't understand is that I welcome the pain; I get off on it, which in the end leaves me with the hardest decision of my life-one that might get us all killed...

Get Off on the Pain

Tempting, inked and highly addictive. Alex is all that and more... I've made a lot of mistakes - ones I'm not proud of, and definitely ones that have left their marks both mentally and physically. Things got lonely; I got lost in my own fucked up mind and in the end it left me fucked out of my mind and unable to fight - or at least win. That life's over for me and I've moved on. Six months into tattooing at Blue's and already I'm the most wanted and sought out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women. They come into the shop, end up in my bed and we both come out happy. It's been my release since I've stopped fighting. It's become part of the "new" me. But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can't deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl. So when she asks me to move in with her and her 'boyfriend' - our other childhood friend - I never expected for things to get so fucked up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn't me. I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest - to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing. What I didn't expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp's eyes when he asked. One night of free passion could change our lives forever. I never said that was a good thing either...

Something for the Pain

I was never supposed to want to keep her. She was meant to be borrowed. Mine for six days and not a day longer. She doesn't belong to me. She belongs to someone else. My brother...The closest person I have outside of the screaming fans and paparazzi-a constant in my new life- other than the whiskey I drown myself in to numb the pain left by someone else. But a secluded cabin in the woods and my ex who decided she's not over me forces me to go to the extreme in order to take control of my world again before I lose it completely. Unfortunately for me, my brother's girlfriend is the only girl I haven't slept with and made fall for me, resulting in hating me in the end. She's my only option. Sharing a room in a cabin with me is most girls' dream come true, but for Natalie, she claims it's her worst nightmare. She thinks I'm a cocky bastard and has always been good at destroying my ego. I never realized when I asked to borrow her for the trip, that I'd feel something I haven't felt in a long time, or that I'd like the way she pretends she doesn't enjoy being around me. Have you ever borrowed something and didn't want to give it back? Yeah, well, me too. And I'm starting to think she should have been mine to begin with...Reckless Rock Star is a standalone story inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward's Cocky Bastard.

Savage Locke (Locke Brothers, 2)

ACE LOCKE Damaged. Savage. Twisted. Those three words describe us Locke brothers to the motherfucking T. We were wronged by the ones who were supposed to protect us. The ones who were supposed to love us ... to show us how to love. It doesn't matter though. 'Cause we taught ourselves how to love in the best way we know how. When it comes to giving our heart away, we do it with everything in us. We may be dangerous sons of bitches, but we love hard as shit. Melissa doesn't quite get that yet. But she will. She got dragged into our fucked-up world, afraid and unsure of us. Well, I'm about to change that. I'm going to twist her up and shake the fucking innocence in her.

I should have left, should have minded my own business, but the attraction I feel for Ace is stronger than I can ignore. I can feel the way he watches me. The ownership I feel from him, the possessiveness and obsession, lets me know he wants me too. But common sense tells me I don't want this in my life, don't want to let a Locke brother mark me as his. But that reality isn't what my heart wants, isn't what my body craves. Truth is I want to have Ace claim me, want his hands on me, his dominance showing me that all I want is to submit. We may not lead the same lives, and he may have darkness in him, the likes of which I've never seen before, but for once in my life I want to skirt with that danger. I want to forget everything else and just let Ace own every single part of me. And I have a feeling he won't stop until he does.
