Uprooted to a new city, a new job (working in a coffee shop in your thirties is fiiine, right?) and being forced to keep an eye on Austin’s troublemaking tendencies is...a lot.

Sometimes you meet someone - maybe meet isn't the right word. You don't even have say hello for this to happen. You simply pass by them, and everything in your world changes forever. Chills flow all the way from the crook in your neck where you imagine he'd kiss you, all the way down, with only a single glance. I know you know what I'm referring to. The moment when something inside of you ignites to life, recognizing their other half that's been gone for far too long. It burns hot, destroying any hope that it's only a coincidence, and that life will go back to what it was.

Hay relatos que no se escriben para contar una historia, sino para exponer una herida. Esta colección reúne diez cuentos que habitan los bordes de lo decible. Cada uno abre una fisura: en la memoria, en el cuerpo, en la fe, en el deseo. No hay alivio. Solo escenas detenidas donde lo siniestro se insinúa sin anunciarse y lo íntimo se vuelve terreno inestable.

Former Navy SEAL Kevin Monroe could spot a liar from a mile away. A well-trained government liar? They were even easier. And the woman sitting across from him in the White House briefing room spinning a tale of corruption, treason, and staged murder was a drop-dead, smokin’-hot professional liar with arresting eyes. The instant and undeniable attraction made her far more dangerous than the lies she told. Falling in love with Layla was out of the question. Yet, he’d give up everything to protect her—even from his teammates.

At 35, Marcus Carelli has it all: wealth, power, and the kind of looks that leave women breathless.

A wife who’d be as big of an achievement as the billions in his bank account.

For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I’m not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine—multimillionaire. But who’s counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I've ever met, who happens to like dancing, witty banter, and hot, passionate up-against-the-wall sex as much as I do.

Keiner von ihnen konnte wissen, wie gut das Fallen sein kann. Bis jetzt. Seine Berührung ist sanft und soll Trost spenden. Schutz. Heilung. All das, was ich nicht bin. Aber der Engel Gui zieht mich zu sich, wie die Erde den Mond anzieht. Ich habe versucht zu fliehen. Ich wollte weglaufen. Ich war schon fast weg, und dann tauchte sie auf. Eine andere Frau. Ihre Berührung war besitzergreifend, ihre Macht etwas, vor dem sogar ich mein Knie beugen musste.

Beneath My Teeth is not a gentle collection. These are commands disguised as poems, each one a blade drawn slow across the skin, each one a ritual of power, surrender, and ruin. Told in sharp, intimate scenes, this book drags the listener into a world where control is taken, obedience is worship, and desire is edged with something feral. Every piece builds on the last until you are left trembling at the altar of ache, surrounded by bruises, bite marks, and the kind of devotion that burns through bone. This is for the listener who wants to be overwhelmed.

Venice stands, as she loves to tell you, on the frontiers of the east and west, half-way between the setting and the rising sun.
